GEORGIA'S BIG FAIR OPENS WITH
ALL EXHIBITS IN PLACE-THE
OFFICIALS MUCH PLEASED.
CROWDS ARE VISITING
GROUNDS ALREADY
Experts Say 1t Is The Best Fair Ever
Pulled OH In The Entire South.

Macon, Ga, Oct. 21.-(Special. )-The
annual exhibition of the Georgia state
fair opened this morning with a rush
And the early visitors to the fair
grounds are unanimously of the opin-
ion that this is the greatest fair in
Georgias history.
Many who have attended the Ala
bama, Tennessee and Mississippi fairs
declare that Georgia this year has a
fair that is the equa! OF any ever held
in the south.
The striking feature of opening day
was the readiness of the great ma
iority of exhibits Another impressive
feature was the number of exhibits.
The exhibits including lndivaducl
entries, will run into the thousands.
Never before have so many articles
and displays been entered.
"The number this year is Just thred
times as many as last year. declared
Secretary Robert, as he, in common
with the other officials, sought dill
gently to find space for all of the
exhibits.
A significant feature of opening
day, illustrating the tremendous in
fterest aroused in the fair this year
among Macon people, was the large
attendance. Before the gates opened
there was a big crowd waiting n
line. Before noon there were over 500
people on the grounds, and early this
afternoon the crowd had swelled to
immense proportions. The fact that
the fair starts this year with all the
details complete is an incentive for
Visitors to begin their tour of inspec.
ton on the first day.
Tomorrow is Bibb County Day
Governor Slaton will be here on
Thursday Friday is Children's anG
Circus Day, and Saturday ls College
Travelling Mems, the Alfalfa Clubs and
Singers Day.
Friday and Saturday are expect"l
to be two of the greatest days of tht
fair.

YIN. c. A. QUESTION
UNSOhVED AT time
OF GOING TO PRESS

At time of going to press last night
the executive committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association was sti
wrestling with the problem of what to
do with the debt on the building. In
spite of their appeal, it looks as
though the building will be lost to
Americus.
For three hours last night they dis
cussed ways and means to save the
building, and were still in session At
eleven o'clock. If they are able to
save Americus the disgrace of a fore
ed sale, all praise is theirs, but i
they fail they are not to blame. They
have made a manful effort. Thirty
one men subscribed over $4,000 to the
cause.

CIRCUS SPREES and fights
Brought Near $500 Into the
City's Strong Box

Americus was not the scene of a
Donnybrook fair on circus day, but the
occasion yielded up more than the
usual number of first fights and plain
unfrilled drunks. 1t was busy day
with the cops, who refused to let any
of the guilty ones get through the fine
meshes of their dragnet, and in conse-
quence Mayor Lowrey was amazed,
when, as recorder sitting in judgment,
he viewed the lineup of penitents yes

bench. The docket was filled up with

the odor of old booze smote the

JHPEACHED GOVERNOR, IF ELECT
ED, WILL MAKE THE RACE FOR
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
PROGRESSIVE PARTY IS
GIVING HIM SUPPORT
His Announcement Causing 1ammany
Leaders Great Concern What the
Politicians Say of Sulzer's Move.

Albany, N Y, Oct. 21,-What will
be the outcome of William Suffers
race for the New York legislature
Was the question foremost in the
minds of the politicians around the
capitol today.
1t was generally agreed that he
will make a great deal of trouble for
the organization in New York. Even
sulzer's worst political foes practical
" conceded him victory in his own
assembly district. They were inclined
to regard the withdrawal of the repub-
lican candidate as a trick intended to
damage the democratic party a great
deal IT the cost of small concession.
There ws no doubt expressed that the
republicans will work hard for Sulzer
in the hope that he will repay them
amply by his attacks upon Tammany
hall in case he reaches the assembly.
The question which caused the
greatest speculation, however, was how
many votes Sulzer would be able to
swing for his speakership candidacy
in case of his election.

The college boys rushed into the
