BIG PRE-coNVENTIoN TEsTl-
MONIAL.

No entertainment given by local
people for the benefit of the visitors
promises to be on higher order
than does the Pre-Convention Testi
nIonil concert that is to be given
next Tuesday night, September 10th,
at the Ryman Auditorium. The pro,
gram will be under the auspices OF
the local committee in charge of af-
fairs for the coming National Con
vention. All of the pastors of the
city and their congregations have
agreed to support the effort, as 1t
will be a testimonial pure and sim
pie, the proceeds of which are to
be contributed by the local commit
tee towards the entertainment of the
delegates. There will be some for
eign talent, some talent of national
reputation on the program, promi-
nent among whom will be the noted
blind singer, Miss Fitzgerald, Madam
Hackley, who needs no introduction
to the public, and Madam Anderson,
who has appeared on several occa-
sions at Fisk University.
The director of the testimonial is
the chorister of the National Baptist
Convention, Rev. N. H. Plus. Since
it will be just the night before the
opening of the Convention, it will be
the only real opportunity for the
local people to see and hear many Of
the leading men of the Baptist fam
lily, as most of them will be in the
city by Tuesday night in order to
rest up and be fresh for the Con-
vention on Wednesday morning.
The distinguished visitors will be
introduced but will not make speech
es, as the program will be musical
and not oratorical. Then, too, the
big chorus will be heard for the first
time in public together with the
music that is to be used during the
Convention.

LOCAL COMMITTEE MARKING
TIME.

Upon visit to the headquarters
of the local committee that is to en-
terrain the National Baptist Con-
vention, it was found out that they
have, by persistent efforts, gotten
everything put in shape for the en-
tertainment of every guest here next
week. Using the expressions of the
chairman of the reception committee,
the Rev. G. B. Taylor, he said: "The
local committee is simply marking
time. We are well drilled and We
are ready to render the services we
are called upon to render. We have
plenty of homes, and in selecting
the homes we tried to get the very
best homes possible. OF course there
are many people who are willing to
takes delegates to the Convention
that have never handed in to this
reception committee their names, not
withstanding we have had a force of
clerks at work and two telephones
in service, we have not been able to
reach every home in Nashville. No
doubt the people of Nashville, as do
We, feel that not a home will be
closed against any visitor and that
Nashville will give the greatest en-
tertainment of her history to the
thousands of the visitors we expect
next week"
When asked for a special list of
the committees, he handed in the
following:

Baptist Convention--Dr. R. E. Bry-

TRAINED ANIMALS AT FAIR.

Trained animal exhibitions have a fas-
sinating hold upon the affections of the
amusement-loving public.
Approaching this fact and having had
many years of practical experience in
catering to the show going people of
America, Con T, Kennedy, generally rec
'gnized in this country as the premier
purveyor of carnival entertainment, has
assembled for the edification of the
thousands who will attend the Tennes-
zee State Fair at Nashville, September
20, to October 4, the most remarkable
wild beast entertainment ever offered.
1t is well known fact that the Ben.
gal tiger is the most difficult animal to
train, but Rajah, with the Kennedy
Shows, the only performing tiger in the
world goes through evolutions in the
steel barred arena which are simply
marvellous, finishing his performance
with a race in competition with leop
ard on horseback.
The Con L. Kennedy Shows carry the
largest number of African lions ever pre-
scented in a single act under any canva:

HOLD MIRROR UP TO NATURE
State Fair at Nashville Reflects Condi.
lions in Each of the Counties.

The people of Tennessee are begin
ming to appreciate the greatness AMI
magnitude of the Tennessee State Fair
at Nashville. Here within a few years
has been built one of the strongest, most
permanent and best equipped State fairs
in the entire South. The State Fair
at Nashville is in class with the fairs
Of surrounding states, that have been
financed by hundreds of thousands of
dollars of states money. This great re.
Hector of Tennessee progress and ad.
vancement-this show window of the
state of Tennessee-this great educator
in the industrial affairs of Tennessee
oeople-has, in few years, taken fore
most place among the great fairs of the
nation. This is due to several influ
ences. First, Nashville is the natural
location for great institution like the
State Fair. The capital city of the state
to which its people delight to make an
annual pilgrimage each autumn, is, in
NouHJlesS ways, dIJIdCJlN6 10 NlSlLOTS
When the people come to the State Fair
to exhibit their products and rejoice over
the prosperity that has blessed them
from year to year, they find the best
appointed fair grounds in all the South,
and within but short distance from the
heart of the city. There the visitors
may review the work of a progressive
State Fair management. The Tennes-
see State Fair has come to be in reality
the reflection of the physical and finan-
cial condition of our state. The coming
great exposition to be held September
20 to October will eclipse in every
way the fine record of the years past.
Every department of the great far to
be held this fall will be filled to over
flowing. The management is delighted
with the advance entries and all indi-
cations point to the most successful ex-
hibition ever held in the history of the
Tennessee State Fair.

MUCH INTEREST IN
BOYS ENCAMPNENT
Free Trip to State Fair for One Boy from
Each County.

Last year the management of the Ten
nessee State Fair for the first time ar
ranged for an encampment for represen.
tative farm boys from each county on
the State Fair grounds during the entire
week of the fair, and no one feature Of
the fair resulted in more educational
value to the farm boys over the State.
Profiting by the experience Of last year,
the management is planning for the en-
campment this year on broader and bet
ter lines. The boys who are fortunate
in being selected will have one solid
week of recreation, fun and instruction.
They viii have an opportunity to form
a state wide acquaintance with boys who
are going to be leaders in the develop
ment of the State. They will have an
opportunity to see and learn about the
best crops that are grown, the best live
stock, horses, hogs, sheep, cattle and
poultry. They will witness live stock
judging, demonstrations in seed testing,
will see the best in agricultural imple-
ments and machinery in operation. They
will get practical suggestions for max
ing home life on the farm attractive; in
short, they have an opportunity to see
the attractive side of farming, the pos
sibilities of agriculture when we make
of it what we can. There will be lee.
lures on every phase of farm life for
their benefit.
Nothing will be neglected that can
be done to make the Farm Boys En-
campment at the Tennessee State Fair,
September 20 to October 4, the great
success it should be, and the trip is an
attractive one, since the State Fair pays
the transportation and furnishes lodging
and meals to one boy in every county.

nSdu MS imPOIIdHh.
For many years it has been our
custom to arrange with the South
eastern Passenger and Ticket Agen-
cy, for the transportation of our
Messengers, at reduced rates, to
our State Convention. We have
taken the matter up this year here
tofore, and Ind that the rate already
provided from all parts of the coun-
try to Knoxville, is a better part
than we could have gotten. The
difference this year from our usual
way is, that you purchase round
trip ticket to Knoxville and return.
This present reduction in the rates
is on account of the Conservation
Exposition, which will be held in
Knoxville during the month Of Sep
tember and October.

A MILLIONAIRE VISITOR.
Young Cattle King In Marlboro
Prfce-Campbell Cotton Picker.

Marlboro county has had in it for
several days modest, handsome
young man. heir to one of the largest
landed estates belonging to an indi-
vidual in the world.
The King ranch in Texas contains
nearly two million acres. 1t has a
fence line 500 miles long. Thirty
years ago it was nothing but cattle
ranch, but today, while still having
$4,000 head of cattle and 5000 mules
and horses, thousands Of acres have
been put into cultivation, and towns
and cities are springing up. The
ranch is owned by the mother of this
modest young man, who is Mr. Kle-
berg. The estimated value of the
estate is now 500, 900, 900, and with
the present rate of increase within
25 years it will be worth double the
Astor estate.
COTTON PICKER PERFECTED.
Mr. Theodore H Price and Mr. Kle-
berg were guests of Senator McLau-
rim Sunday and Monday. Mr. Ke-
berg is interested in the Price Camp
bell cotton picker with Mr. Price and
Senator McLaurin. The machine has
been at work this week near Clio on
some cotton reserved for the pur-
pose of testing an improved device,
which renders it absolutely perfect.
Experiments are being made to see
if it is practical to build a machine
light enough to be drawn by four
mules and sell around $4,000. The
present machine weighs $500 pounds
and runs with a 80 horse power gas
olene motor.-Pee Dee Adr0cate.
