hihitors were all Negroes. A special
day was set apart for white people 10
visit the fair, and they came IN larse
numbers. But aside from this, Wnl.e
folks had absolutely nothing TO 90
with the enterprise.
The idea of a colored state lair
originated with R. r. Wright. Negro
educator OF Savannah. A meeting OF
prominent Negroes was called Dy
wright last spring and plans mace
for the holding OF an industrial ex'
position. The race wars OF tnesum
mer made the plans more dlhcult Oh
consummation and the men at the
head were repeatedly urged to aDan
don the scheme for fear OF 1urtner
trouble. On the other hand, how
ever. they were urged to go ahead.
white friends Of the Negro farmers
were insistent that they be allowed
an opportunity to prove themselves.
Gradually the plans took shape ana
notwithstanding all the dimcultles
the fair was an even greater success
than anticipated.
twenty-five of the farming counties
OF Georgia were represented IN the
agricultural exhibit. An Albany Ne
gro. who operates forty-six plows on
his own 1 6OO-acre farm, was In charge
az the department. The agricultural
displays were principally simple Sc
Iections from the best OF the average
crop Of the farming counties. Corn.
cotton. potatoes, peas, cane, oats, nay
tobacco and other common crops were
displayed in large quantities. me

award Of $500. A display. in agricuI
tural hall was graced with a pile OF
baIed cotton branded In large letters:
"The Negro and Cotton-the South S

Seven Negro colleges conducted the
athletic events. The amusement at
fractions were planned exclusively for
the Negro. The races were confined

The fair has come to an end and
has proved a financial success, not
withstanding the obstacles. A stoc

and annual colored state fairs are to
be held. @

RAPID PROGRESS OF THE RoOsE.
 WELT DAM.
(From Sunday 's Daily.)

Work on the big Roosevelt dam on the Salt river in Arizona, the greatest project under the federal reclamation service, and in fact the biggest in the world, is going forward rapidly. Few persons realize on what a gigantic scale this great undertaking is being started, great army of lsborers arc gradually being gathered nt the dam site, great cement plant Is already working steadily away, grinding out the material for the dam, huge con. duits have already been laid, and the work hns gone forward more rapidly than on almost any other similar pro. iect.
 The camp for the pressure pips gang has been completed, and the p.cn have begun to make the pipe for car. rying the water across the Cotton wool canyon wash. This pipe will be or Inc same dimensions as that at Pinto creek, namely, five feet and five inches inside diameter. The pipe will be built with n special machine, Joe. nlly known as the allcgator, which was designed for the purpose. The material 's mixture of Tonto cemcnt with Salt river sand and gravel, both of which have been carefully screened and test ed.
 The pipe at Pinto creek withstood an unsnal test during the last flood of the Salt river valley, and showed up exceedingly well. Practically no da. mage was done. and outside of losing n few billings, wheelbarrows, etc, the storm could he overlooked. The thinpest part of the pipe ia to be twelve inches thick, and will be laid under the bed of the creek. When this Is finished the greater part of work on the power canal will have been completed, and water can then be turned in to sup.

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Affom luebday DaiIy.)
 This is the night when fur is expect. cd to fly in Jerome, for the council of that town meets again to consider the anti gambling ordinance which has not been observed by those who deal in games of chance in the Copper City.
 Tho new ordinance was supposed to become operative on January 1, but thus far it is as dead as n mackcrel, for the reason that it k invalid, so it is claimed At it's regular session last Tuesday night the violation of the law was discussed and the council pass cd tho buck Co the city attorney, Mir. Gibbcs. who in turn passed it to the officers. The latter said they would make arrests if warrants were placed in their hands, but no one seemed willing to do this, eYcpt Albert J. Ryan, who wanted the ordinance enfos. ccd.
 A kick was made because the sheriff hal issued bccnses, Attorney Globes claiming that hc had no right t0 do so, and alleging that his action was insti. gated bp Supervisor Barney Smith, who was partner in n gambling hous. in Prescott. A local attorney, who is  not interested in either side of tho con troversy, said yesterday that licenses must be concurrent, that 1t was the pro. vince of the sheriff to issue the license, regardless of what the ordinances of a city might be. Having obtained the county license, it was up to the appli cant tV obtain town license additional A man can get federal liquor license Tor prohibition state, but he cannot use it. The issuance of the license by the sheriff, 1t was pointed out, has nothing to do with the case at point.
 it was pointed out to the Journal. Miner man that the Jerome ordinance K as full of holes as sieve. The vital paragraph of it's reads thus
 "Tbnt no gambling license shall bc issued to any person, company, associa. ton or corporation to engage in ar carry on, to conduct, deal or to play nt my gambling games, either banking or percentage games, or games of chance whatever, name or kind, in the corpo. rate limits of the town of Jerome. Arizona" ...
 This ordinance does not prohibit at all. It simply prohibits the clerk of the town of Jerome from issuing a license and ts legal effect is to permit gambling without n license of any kind. In other words, no Ii.

GAMbLING ORDINANCE
 IS FULL OF BUBBLES
Attorneys Ridicule The Legality of The Anti-Camine Law Enacted by The Jerome City Council Who Will Try Again Tonight

ccnAc is required, ns gambling is not forbidden. The ordigancc is further defective in the fuct that it provides no penalty in case the clerk should diSobcy the ordinance, nor does it speci. fy the Oircnsc which such disobcdience would constitute.
 Judging from the remarks made by lawyers here yesterday when shown n copy of the ordinance, Attorney Globes knowledge of the law is away below par, if his drafting of the anti.gamb. ling ordinance is Co be considered q criterion. One attorney said "A schoolboy would know better than to draw up an ordinance like that. If the council really wants to stop gambling in Jerome, why not have an ordinance that says SO, or adopt the Tucson or. dinance, which supprcsses gambling by making the license tax so high as Co make it probibitive.
 Another gentleman in duscuss,ng the matter, did not undcrrate Gibbcs' nbil fly, but expressed the opinion that the city attorney of Jerome purposely drew up the ordinance with holes in it m order tO play into the hands of the gamblers. Others also thought that Globes was sufficiently versed in the mali "a .f I.x t.. I.s h.. ordinance would not stand the test of the courts, their opinion being that he was "playing both cLds against the middle" In either case Globes is pat in bad light, the inference being thet he either is incompetent or that he Is giving the council the "doublc cross.
 Ono thing is certain, and that K the ordinance is defective, and an attempt will be made tonight to pass a substi. tute that will hold water
 In the report of the council proceed. ings published in the Jerome News, MT. Globes is quoted as having stat. cd that when he was in Prescott in Dee. Under Sheriff Neaglc told him that the shcriG's office would recognize or. dinancc No. 3i so far as not to issue any gambling licenses 10 those running games within tho corporate limits of the city of Jerome.
 Me ported, that hc had made any such statement, for under the law the she rin has no alternative but to issue a | license when application is made there for.
 Al any rate it will bc interesting ,o note what sort of an ordinance the riiy fathers of Jerome will succeed in passing tonight.
