GEORGIA To HAVE
4 BANNER FAIR
By E. H. HYMAN.
Publicity Director Georgia State r

Publicity Director Georgia State Fair.
From all indications the Georgia
State fair at Macon October 1926 will
be one of the biggest events to happen
this fall in the South. There is not a
foot of space left in the great buildings
on the grounds. and there are fifteen
of them thus insuring some fine eXhib-
its from the manufacturers in Georgia.
Many new features will be intro
duced this year, chief among them be-
ing the great automobile show. The
building for this feature contains 25O-
600 feet of floor space and there is not
enough room at this time to accommo-
date all of those who wish to show
their machines. This building, along
with all the rest, will be handsomely
decorated and as the fair association
has offered three silver loving cups for
the three best arranged displays, this
surely will be a fine exhibit
The directors of the fair, feeling that
the amusement feature this year should
be of the best, early in the game got
Nat Reiss with his 40 big shows and
riding devices, who will have entire
charge of the Midway. This large col
lection of good and moral shows comes
with the Endorsement of all the largest
fairs in the West and Northwest, where
they have been having a profitable sea-
son There is not a show on the
grounds that will not be strictly moral
in every sense of the word. Mr. Reiss
has his reputation behind each and
every show.
The cattle and swine show will be OF
the finest for since the United States
department Of agriculture through the
bureau of animal industry has granted
Il special order whereby cattle can be
brought inside of the quarantine lines
and returned to their homes, many ex.
hibits win come that would not have
been here. Loring Brown will be the
judge for this branch of the fair. w.
Gettys, of Athens Tenn, will Judge the
dairy cattle.
The poultry show will contain over
zoo coops Of the choicest breeds of this
part Of the country The poultry house
/ has been moved into the large. airy
building adjoining the agricultural
building and the uis'es are much wider
and it win accommodate three times
the number of birds the old poultry
house would
George Ewald, of Cincinnati, and p.
A. Cook, of Scotch Plains, are the

The agricultural building will be full
/ of the finest OF the products Of the
state Many counties are preparing
their exhibits and they assure us they.

NARIET READY
To RECEIVE VETS
More Than 1000 Old Soldiers
Expected to Attend State Re-
union-0penS Wednesday.

Marietta will don it's gala garments
next Wednesday and give welcome to
more than 1000 Confederate veterans
who will assemble there to celebrate
the state reunion. The reunion will
last two days.
For the first time since the war a
city no larger than Marietta will re-
ceive the veterans and the fact that
the city IS able to receive them is due
mainly to Miss Regina RambO, who
collected souvenir bullets and sold them
in order that the expenses of the re-
union might be paid.
When the first bugle call is sounded
Wednesday morning the city will be
decorated from top to toe. Lavish dec
of the town will attempt to Guido the
other in this respect.
Many social affairs will feature the
two days. The D. A. R. will entertain
the sponsors and the Daughters of the
Confederacy will give a reception on
Thursday afternoon. Wednesday night
a big concert will be held. Thursday
the veterans will be taken on a tour of
Kennesaw mountain in automobiles.
The reunion will end with the vet
Grams ball, which will be held Thurs
day night Everything in the way of
music, decorations and refreshments
will be provided for this occasion.
which will be open to the whole of Ma
rietta and all the visitors.

imately $4,000, which, it is stated,
is of practically no value to the
city, because it has been improp-
erly laid.
Remedy in Double System.
All of this means that before the
city of Atlanta can get a satisfac-
tory sewer system it will be forced
to adopt the modern double sys-
TEN, separating the sanitary sewage
from the surface water.
With these great problems before
it, the city should employ an expert
engineer, capable of handling the
situation, to direct the work. and,
if a proper selection is made, the
city viii be saved many times the
cost of his services.
The present officials seem to be
unable to cope with the situation,
and. in my judgment, it is time
some action is taken along the lines
suggested.

Mystery of His
Disappearance Deepens.

The receivers were named 10 take
charge and control the contractors af-
fairs until such time as he should ap-
pear in court in person or the court
should be definitely informed that he is
permanently lost.
In the meantime the mystery Of
DeLeon's disappearance deepened.
Though. at the instance Of his brother,
T. W. DeLeon, president Of the Cas-
ualty Company of America, Of Chicago,
the detective force Of that city in
which he was last seen, August 9,
secured II to find trace Of the man, and
though the police that patrol the Mich
igan wilds where he was supposed to
have gone on a fishing excursion, have
made q systematic search no clew to
his Whereabouts has yet been ascer-
At his offices in the Walton building,
the employees had received no word OF
their chief At his home, 744 Piedmont
avenue. the door was closed to all Wis
itors.
The contractor left Atlanta August 7.
He had not been in the most robust
health ard it was his plan to spend
several weeks in the Michigan woods
to restore his vieor Two days later
he was heard Of in Chicago, where he
visited friends in Wilmette, a North
Shore suburb Of the Illinois city. He
told them Tint he intended leaving the
next day for Saginaw, Mich, and would
then strike out for the woods,

Brother Alarmed
For DeLeon s Safety.

He never appeared in Saginaw, &C
cording to the authorities there, They
poiut out that he might have arrived,
obtained the services of a guide I'M
mediately and then have struck out
without registering at a hotel or lcav-
ing other trace of his having been
there. Persons familiar with the woods
in which DeLeon intended to fish say
that a man and guide could stay in
them an unlimited period of time with
out leaving trace of their whereabouts.
When days passed and heightened
into weeks without word of his brother,
the Chicago DeLeon grew alarmed. He
sought the aid Of the Chicago police and
a thorough search of the city was in
stituted without avail. AT the same time
the Michigan authorities became ac-
tive in the hunt.
DeLeon is known as one of the fore
most Atlanta contractors He has had
charge of the work on many of the
city's largest buildings and was re-
garded as an eminently successful man
He is described as As years old. feet
s inches tall, weighs between 1875 and
l4O pounds. has dark eyes and COM
plexion, dark hair (heavy and in
clined to curb, is slight in build and

the street regarded.
The Peachtree Example.
;. The city and county are now
engaged in grading and widening
one block on. Peachtree from Har-
ris to Baker and grading Baker
street and West Peatntree street to
conform to this new grade While
this is much needed improve
ment, it Is a very small part of
what should have been done.
Peachtree street should be graded
from the Grand opera house to
Harris street, and the street Wild
ened. as is being done on the next
block This can be done now at q
very much less cost than it ever
can be done in the future, because
it Is only matter of a short time
until permanent structures will be
erected on this part of the street
The only bkilding in the way now
Is the Arag0n hotel, and it will be
a comparatively easy matter to ar
cade the front of that for the side
walk.
Atlanta is one of the easiest
drained cities in the United States.
being located on a high ride with
creeks and branches running in all
directions away from it, and yet in
spite OF this fact, its sewer system
is now in deplorable condition
Years ago, before Atlanta had
reached anything like its present
size, a sewer system was adopted
which would probably have been
adequate for a village, but which
can never be satisfactory with
large city, that is the single sewer
system, where surface water and
sanitary sewage all go together.
The difficulty is that with every
house erected and every street
paved. the volume Of surface water
which flows into the sewers is
largely increased, and as n conse-
quence sewers have to be con-
structed of such magnitude that it
is very expensive to extend them.
Rains Overtax Sewers.
Every trunk sewer in Atlanta has
branch running through it, and
in cases Of heavy rains these sew
ers are taxed to their utmost ca.
pacity to carry surface water Sew
eral Of these large trunk sewers
now empty inside the city limits.

seven years that elapsed before Mr.,
PIiss' death after MI ArChbold claims
he made the contribution in question,
Mr.. Arcnbold never brought up any
statement Of this kind.
Wicked Assault
On Dead Man
He now says that Mr. Bliss warned
him that he was making a serious mis-
take in not contributing the extra
amount Of money and that later on,
when the administration began to deal
with the Standard Oil people, Mr.. Bliss
said it would have been different if they
had done as he asked him.
This is an assertion that Mr. Bliss
was deliberately trying to blackmail
the Standard Oil Company into con-
tributing by scarcely yelled threats az
to what would happen if they did not
contribute, and that Mr.. Bliss, in eff
feet, told them afterward that, if they
had contributed the administration
would not have proceeded against
them for violating the law-for this
was all the administration did.
This is a wicked assault on a dead
man whose high standing and prob,ty
was such that no human being who was
himself honest would ever impute evil
motives to him. MIR. Bliss was incapa.
bic of conduct such as Mr.. Archbod
imputes to him And I can not too
strongly denounCe the baseness Of max
ing such an attack upon an honorable
man who is now dead and whom Mr.
Archbold never ventured to assail while
living
Moreover, M Alchbold shows per
fectly clearly, as published reports say,
that his corporation had contributed in
order to get value for its gift and that
the gift was made with the expectation
Of receiving improper consideration
4 do not for one moment believe
that Mr. Bliss made any such remarks
to Mr.. Archbold. as Mr. Archbold says.
For example, Mr. Archbold states that
he and the late H. H. Rogers visited me
at the white house and that l then re-
marked to them that there had been
some criticism about campaign contri-
buttons. This is a falsehood. Neither
on that occasion nor on any other occa-
sion was one word said, either by me to
Mr.. Archbold or by Mr.. ArchboId to me,
about campaign contributions.
