NEGRO FAIR WILL
START THURSDAY
First One Was Held in Albany Last
Year and Was a Great Success
in Every WaY.

ALBANY.-Oneo of the most inter-
esting and ambitious events ever
launched in Georgia is the Southwest
Georgia Negro Fair, whose first show
last year proved an unqualified sue
cess in spite of the fact that the war
in Europe had seriously affected bus
mess and financial conditions in this
section. The second fair will open
Thursday of this week, and continue
through the 9th.
The association has built a park
just north of Albany that is large
enough to hold great throng of
people. 1t contains a large exhibit
ton building, and there are ample
accommodations for the live stock
of negro farmers. Particularly inter-
esting this year will be the agricult-
ural exhibits and the exhibits of the
manual training and domestic science
departments of negro schools. The
premiums have been made attractive,
and there will be several hundred
exhibitors.

TO PROTECT BIRDS
AS FOES OF WEEVIL
The Georgia Division Audubon SOcie-
" Will Begin Systematic Cam
paign in Georgia.

The question of bird study and
protection is coming to be recognized
as a subject worthy every consldera-
ton, and the people of Georgia are
taking it seriously, in view of the
present situation with reference to
the Mexican cotton boil weeyil, which
has already spread over thirty coun-
ties of the state.
1t is a well known fact, establish
ed by science, that the bird is the
greatest natural enemy of the boil
weevil, and to protect the birds is to
help in the control of the weevil. The
United States department of agricult-
ure recognized years ago the oppor-
.unity that Texas neglected with ref
erence to the question of the rela-
ton of bird life to the control of the
Mexican cotton boil weevil. 1t was
in that state that the biological sur
vey discovered this vital relation be-
tween birds and the control Of the
weevil.
The Georgia division of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Socie-
ties met Saturday in the office of M.
l.. Britain, state superintendent of
schools, and adopted a constitution
and bylaws and passed resolutions
in reference to methods of reaching
the people on this most important
phase of conservation.
Systematic Campaign Begun.
Among other things it was decided
to inaugurate a systematic campaign
for organizing Audubon junior class
es among the schools of the state. 1t
is the young that must be trained to
protect the birds, and the most prac-
tical way to reach them is through
the schools.
The Audubon junior work is de-
signed to give instruction to the boys
and girls on the value of birds to
men, and the relation of bird life is
to agricultural and horticultural
pursuits, as well as to show them
the beauty of the bird world, so that
they will undertake to save rather
than to destroy the birds.
For inaugurating this work in
Georgia the national association has
given the Georgia division $500, and
the board of directors arranged for
using this money in connection with
organizing Junior classes. The pres
ent condition in the state causes stu
dents of bird life to believe that the
people will cooperate in this work.

INCREDIBLE DAMAGE

Letter to New York Business Man
Says Whole Buildings Have Been
Shot to Fragments. Great Cavities
Made in the Earth.
No greater pains have been taken
by the British censors in the war
than have been taken to conceal from
the American public the extent of the
damage done the city of London by
the Zeppelin raids of the last few
months. Almost the only intima-
tons of the damage have come by
wireless from German source.
Ever since the raids of the. Zeppe-
Inns began residents of this country
have been asking English friends and
relatives for first-hand impressions
as to how it feels to have bombs
dropped about one from a shadowy
shape high in the air. The cores
pondents have meant well enough.
They begin bravely something like

perience when the Zeppelins came
Here the censor takes hand. Some
times he uses scissors and cuts away
the thrilling experience bodily. Usu-
ally he covers the descriptive pas
sages with a fine and impenetrable
black smudge, which blots out every
word. Wherever the censor suspects
newspaper connection of any kind
in the correspondence he takes no
chances. There are some letters
bristling with Yep news, which are
getting over for all that.
The following extracts from a let
ter received by a New York business
man from friend in London afford
the first clear, impartial statement
of the damage done in these raids:
The damage done by the high ex-
pIosive bombs is almost incredible.
Whole buildings have been shattered
to fragments for a distance of two
hundred yards or more around where
bombs are blown to pieces. Where
the bombs dropped on or close by
buildings little remains but heaps of
ruins, and where they fell in the
roads great cavities were made II

GIRL WROTE LOVE NOTES TO
SELF AND PLANNED WEDDING
Miss CrumeyS Sutor Said to Have Been Myth and Body
Brought to Atlanta Purchased by Her in Chicago Morgue

ATLANTA.-Thre years ago MISS
Julia Choate Crumley, daughter of
Rev. Lee Crumley, superintendent Of
the Baptist Orphans Home and one
of the most prominent ministers in
Atlanta, went to Baltimore.
After three months she returned
and said her life had been saved by
''Dr. Alleyne Hensley' Of Quebec, and
Miss Crumley, with boxes of candy
and flowers. She said they were from
1.-The DOCTOR" and one day announc-
ed that they were engaged. The
Wedding date was fixed for Novem-
Der II, and was so announced in
the Atlanta papers. Miss Crumley
selected her bridesmaids and flower
girls She was given teas, parties
and showers. She set out for New
York last week to complete her trous-
seau.
Then suddenly she wired her family
that DIR. Alleyne" was killed in a
wreck out west; that she was going
to Chicago to get his body. Her
friends were filled with pity for her
shattered romance.
Body in Atlanta.
Wednesday Miss Crumley arrived
in the city with a casket. The funer-
al was set for Thursday afternoon.
Wednesday night, surrounded by her
family, the girl was questioned by
DR.. Bates Block, a nerve specialist.
She broke down and confessed all.
OR. Alleyne Hensley" was alive
only in her Imagination. Their court
ship was make-believe. She had
written the letters herself. The can
dy and flowers she ordered sent to
herself, and, the strangest revelation
of all, the body she said was bought
at the public morgue in Chicago.
Members of the family told the
truth to mourners. The body tonight
is at an undertaking establishment
and efforts are being made to find
out who the unknown is. The box
is a plain pine coffin. The head is
bruised and marked as if he had in
deed been in a railroad wreck. The
girl is in a hysterical condition.
Those who saw the body today said
il was evidently that of man not
accustomed to a life usually led by a
surgeon. An effort was being made
to have Chicago authorities to take
it back.
The undertaken in charge of the
body said he had received no instruc-
lions, although reports from Chicago
said the undertakers who prepared
the body for burial there expected
it to be returned to them.

In attempting TO readjust the price of
milk on a fairly profitable basis, three
things have to be taken into the reckon
ing, the production, transportation, dis
tribution
The farmers who have to be depended
on for the supply say there is no money
in milk at the present price. A majority
of them take this ground and most of
them have the figures to prove it,
When it comes to the transportation
problem, the railroads are surely not
making dividends, and probably not much
money.
The minute anything is said to the dis

ton Advertiser.
The Republican last week jolted a
number of people into thinking what y
mess New England makes OF itself and
its common interests by being six states
instead OF one. Suppose, indeed, that
New England could be consolidated and
be developed along lines of economic and
social efficiency as united Germany was
after 1870. There would be something
doing" with one legislature instead Of
six. Springfield Republican.
Indeed, there would be so much doing
that the result would be thorough ium-
bic of legislative affairs, to say nothing
OF the executive and judicial. How, for
example, could the laws of such pro-
posed union OF states reconcile the agri-
cultural interests of Vermont and the
industrial interests OF Massachusetts, or
Rhode Island? Boston and the other
large cities are a large numerical factor
in the Massachusetts legislature, as they
would be in a unified legislature OF the
present six states. Therefore, Boston
and the other large cities of Massachu-
setts, together with the large masses in
other manufacturing cities in southern
New England would be legislating for
the small country communities in Yer
mont, whose entire population is about
one-half that of the city OF Boston alone. |
There would be a greatly magnified CON
dition Of clashing now evident in the
Vermont legislature between the little
cities and the small towns. Vermont, let
it be stated, has no relish for being made
an adjunct Of proposed New England
state, however good such a union might
be- in some respects, theoretically; and
