The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-11

upon the suggestion of M. S. Harper President W. H. Mckenzie of Montezuma appointed a committee to meet with sim liar committees from other state associa- lions and the interstate association, to determine what action should be taken. President Mckenzie appointed the follow ing: M. s. Harper of Atlanta, w. E. Me. Cav of Macon, Thomas Egleston of At lanta, l.. G. Neal of Atlanta, with Presi- dent Mckenzie as ex-officio chairman.
 It Is expected that this committee will meet in Atlanta on Monday week, Octo Der 19, at which time Cotton Seed Crushers' Day. will be celebrated at the State Fair, now going on at Piedmont park. On that day Fielding Wallace of Augusta and W. M. Hutchison of At lanta, who arranged the cotton seed ex- hibit, plan to have the exercises at the fair grounds, when short addresses will be made by the invited guests upon the uses of cotton seed products. That night it is planned to hold a smoker at which there will be present two hundred-odd members of the association and their friends
 The cotton seed exhibit is located in the agricultural building and is one of the most attractive on the grounds. In the center of it there is shown everything that is made from the cotton seed, both crude and refined On either side are demonstration booths, where the refiners of cotton seed oil are showing the supe- riority of cotton seed oil as shortening over lard.
 The full programme for Cotton Seed Crushers" Day will be announced dur ing the week.
 Two days of solid downpouI of rain greeted and discouraged the annual state fair, following its opening on Thursday. and also cast a damper on the Atlanta horse show, which came to a close in Friday nights rain.
 The first two nights of the horse show were record breakers, both in point of at- tendance, full dress costumes and vari- ety of events; but the exhibition was al most entirely of local nature, charac- terized by a scarcity of outside entries Atlanta manages to get up pretty fair horse show with it's own talent and thus manages at least to keep the bulk of the prizes at home.
 Rain killed the display the last two nights, at least from a standpoint of cos tunes and attendance. It would not dc
 to wear the handsomest dresses and plumed hats in such a downpour; hence there was little attraction But alto gether 1t was good show, and the man. agement is well satisfied with the results barring what the rain did to it. The annual staH fair opened Thursday
 being given this year under the auspices | and management of the Georgia Farm CTS union In completeness and variety | of exhibits it is considered ahead of any i state fair that has been given here. Ar 1 interesting amusement programme, in l cludng both horse and automobile races | has been arranged and a good exhibition l is promised.
 ] As yet, however, the fair has not hat 1 a fair chance. The rain gave the racer. | who venture on the track rather the ap pearance of swimmers, and the grounds were turned into a sea of mud. Saturday l is generally an off day. and so 1t come! | about that the fair will not really ge
 we'll under way until the first of nex | week.
 One of the most interesting practica | features promised is the good roads de monstration work on October 21, unde the auspices of an expert from the de partment of agriculture at Washington Owing to the fact that the state has jus
 arranged to put the convicts on the pub
