To MAKE LAND
SHOW FEATURE
Value of Soil Will Be One Of the
Principal Lessons of Conser-
walton Exposition.

KNOXVILLE, July 12-ReaIizing
that land is primarily the basis Of
all wealth and that from the land
must come food and clothing for
the present and future generations,
the management Of the National Con-
servation Exposition has prepared for
the greatest land show ever held IN
the South and one Of the greatest
land shows ever held anywhere.
Scientists say that the land of the
United States must be conserved.
must be nurtured and cared for, must
be nursed and doctored and in no
wise maltreated if the nation is to
maintain its present proud position at
the head of all the nations OF the
earth
Tremendous Land Building.
1t is to teach the lesson Of the
necessity Of conserving lands. as well
as of teaching the lessons Of conser-
walton Of other resources, that the
National Conservation Exposition
comes into being. In the big new
land building on the exposition
grounds the land show will be held.
The land building. completed to tho
last nail, is one of six big exposi-
ton buildings erected for the Con-
seTvation Exposition. Attached to it
Is an annex with an auditorium that
will seat 5000 persons. The United
States Government display in the
land building as well as State displays
Will be particularly fine and Compra-
hensive. The exposition will open on
September / and will continue until
November /.
Merchants to Visit Fair.
Incidentally Knoxville is planning
a great boosting campaign TO be con-
Quoted in connection with the eX-
position.
Fifteen thousand merchants and
| jObbers in the territory contiguous
to Knoxville have been invited to visit
the city while the exposition is on.
The invitations have been sent out Oy
the Commercial Club Of Knoxville.
The entertainment of these out of
town buyers is part Of a general
boosting movement that is astir IN
Knoxville and has been inspired by
the exposition. The merchants and
jobbers of Knoxville are making ev-
cry effort to extend their trade and
figure that while the exposition is in
progress there will be a large influx
OF visitors into the city Hence the
plan of inviting the outside merchants
to Knoxville. ACCeptanCes to the in
lvitations are being received rapidly.

PONY CONTEST !
CANDIDATES To
MEET IN PARK
Boys and Girls viii Be Enter
tanned by Manager of Race at
Grant Playground.

Boys and girls in The Georgian and
American pony contest will enjoy an
informal gathering at Grant Park
Sunday afternoon, at the invitation
of the contest manager. The ponies
will be on hand, and there will be
rides and drives for all who care To
enjoy this pleasure.
Parents of the contestants are par
ticularly invited. The contest man.
ager is anxious to meet them and to
discuss with them ways and means
of helping the contestants through
the last few days of the race. Six
teen more week days only remain
before the contest ends. Six DAYS
only remain during which the bonus
offer is in effect
Race Keeps Close.
There is no candidate who can
claim yet to be a winner. There isl
not enough difference between the
leaders and the tail-enders so that
any one can say who will get a pony.
This is as it should be. 1t makes
the contest interesting up to the very
last.
The bonus offer should inspire ev-
cry contestant There are 10000 ex-
ira votes to be awarded for every
club of $35 turned in for subscrip-
lions; 1880 extra votes will be Civ
en- for every club of $25 and 5000
for every club of SIS.
Assuming that a contestant turned
in six yearly subscriptions; he would
turn In $3.50, and be credited with
81 000 votes In addition he would
be credited with a $35 club, and 20
900 extra votes in consequence. In
other words, the voting power under
such circumstances would almost be
doubled-41,O 600 votes for $3.50 in
subscriptions. But the beauty of this
club offer is that the clubs need not
be made up OF yearly subscriptions.
They can be made up of short term
subscriptions, even one month trial
orders.
Should Use Every Effort.
The contestant who does not
strain every nerve to take advantage
of this chance is foolish, and is not
doing his full duty to himself, or to
the friends who are aiding him.
Sixteen more working days only re-
main. The strain of the contest soon
will be over, and the contestants may
take a well earned rest. Naturally,
it will be much more fun to rest and
recreate with the aid of a pony and
cart than to rest, thinking of defeat
That is why the next two weeks
should be crammed with effort, and
we'll directed effort.
Keeping everlastingly at it brings
success" says the contest manager
and he is right.

du-tors earned in their vocation,

Called Indictment to Murder.
Here is a man clamoring for the
supremacy of the law" and vet
he says that if another strike is
brought about, and a railroad is tied
up, then, we gods! the people viii
rise in their anarchistic wrath and
burn the homes of the strikers and
'heir families will be scorched by
the flames, and perchance these
1000 wicked and desperate railroad
employees would likely be hanged to
1000 lampposts,
What is this but crazy incite-
ment to murder?
Governor Brown concludes his
speech by eXtolling the action of
the militia in killing three non-of-
tending citizens of Augusta during
the street car strike, a short time
previously But as surely as God
lives, the militia, who ruthlesslv
and unlawfully shot these innocent
victims down in cold blood, are
guilty of manslauehter.
These people were not connected
with the strike. They We're simply
going alone the public streets,
wholly ignorant that the military
had established an imaginary, or
unmarked, dead line" There was
nothing of a physical nature to
show that any such dead line" had
been ordered or fixed, and no pre-
vious warning was given them, or
known command given to halt.
Nothing in this whole wretChed
speech shows more convincingly
Governor Browns true bent of
mind than this laudation of half
cooked irresponsible militia. Gov
ernor Brown is another Glasscock
of West Virginia, types of men who
would violate Federal and State
Constitutions by eNalting the mill
tary above the civil powers. He
would substitute military rule for
civil government running ruthless
~ counter to the very spirit and
letter of republican institutions.
Legislation Is Dangerous.
The act of 1912 is the most in
sidtously dangerous piece Of legis-
lation ever enacted in Georgia. The
first bloody fruits of such legisla-
uon We're made terribly manifest at
Augusta. What locality will suf-
fer next?
The Augusta massacre should be
Investigated by a legislative COM
mittee.
The workngmen, particularly of
the South, being TO the manner
born" object to having their labor
regulated by bullets and bayonets.
as did their fathers powerfully re
volt against Federal bayonets and
bullets, regulating their ballots dur
ing Reconstruction days.
We of the South, laborers and
capitalists alike, and other classes
of citizens, are of good old Amer
lean stock, a homogeneous people,
songs of Revolutionary sires, peo-
pie who won't submit to military
aSCendenCy over the civil authori-
ties
In conclusion, we beg To say that
while organized labor has its faults
twhat institution or organization
has nOt2) il is the only practical
method yet devised by man which
meaSurably protects and uplifts the
working classes, and until some bet
ter plan be devised il will continue
TO be the greatest power for good
to the toilers of the civilized world.
And ii has no apologies 10 make
10 the Browns, and Posts, and Kir-
bys and Parrys, and others who let
their spleen beCloud their iudg-
ments and embitter their hearts.

Beautiful Actress Says He Tired of Being
Pointed to as Man Who Married Her.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Pauline
Frederick, the actress wife Of Frank
M. Andrews, the well-known archi-
tect, who last autumn returned to
her beloved profession, bent upon re-
establishing herself as one of the
leading women on the American stage,
is playing a real life part similar TO
that Of Sarah in The Little Prin-
cess" it was learned yesterday.
The sudden change of social station
for this beautiful young woman, she
declared yesterday to a reporter for
The Sunday American, is because her
rich husband is in some business
trouble and has failed to provide
properly for her maintenance. She
still resides in a handsome apartment.
but even this is to be given up just
as soon as the lease expires.
Where she will then reside she does
not know and won't know for some
time. 1t depends upon the income she
will make hereafter, and also upon i
settlement with her husband
There have been continuous rumOrs
for several months that Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrews We're legally separated. This
is not so. They are living in separate
apartments.
when married Mr.. Andrews,
about four years ago said Miss
Frederick Il decided to choose a ca
reer of love instead of fame But 1
soon saw that the pursuit of love and
happiness was not silvery path

companion of a stage celebrity, but
after our marriago he soon let me
know that he objected to being looked
upon merely as Pauline Frederick's
husband
Last fall I decided to go back 20
the stage. I did so partly because my
husband seemed Indifferent as to what
did and partly because I feared that
he was in love with another woman,

mat and the wife of an officer of the
