|DOTHAN FAIR TO
| SURPASS RECORDS
OF FORMER YEARS
Everything Is in Readiness
for Opening ON Monday.
Tremendous Attendance
Is Expected

Dothan, October 2S.-(Special.I
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of southeast Alabama's THIRD
ing. Downtown the city is in gala at
tire, the entire business section OF
the town being gayly bedecked with
flags and bunting. At the Fairgrounds
the finishing touches are being put
upon exhibits and grounds while live
stock, hogs and race horses are being
unloaded from cars on the grounds
Ample provision has been. made to
handle the great crowds which are
expected during the week, new streets
to the grounds having been opened and
a. DIV rate of Is cents established by
jitney drivers to the grounds from
the business section of the city
If Dothan does not have the very
best fair ever held in southeast Ala
bama 1t will not be because effort and
money have been spared. Money has
been spent freely in getting the very
best free acts obtainable, in hanging
up larger purses for races than ever
before offered and in giving larger
premiums In all classes. The best and
biggest midway attractions that could
be obtained have been secured. The
entire policy upon which the fair has
been planned has been to give the peo-
pie their moneys worth and as much
more as possible.
The exhibits this year in every de-
partment promise to excel those of
the previous fairs. The hog exhibits
will be especially fine and Of unusual
interest because of the rapid strides
the hog raising industry is making in
this section. Some of the very finest
hogs in the south will be here
The poultry show. it is claimed, will
be the largest display of fancy birds
ever seen in this section of the coun-
try.
The racing programme is the best ever
planned. A decided departure from for
mer custom will be that there will be full
racing programmes on Monday and Sat.
urday. Many people who visited the
Dothan fair last year on Saturday were
disappointed because there were no races
This year there will be full programme

The officials Of the committee will not

ganization of it's kind in the United
States. 1t has attracted much attention
in labor circles, especially since 1t good
naturally rebuked President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor few months ago.
With a mass meeting in mind the COM
mittee requested of the office of Pres
ident Gompers complete record of Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson. Within a few
days an answer was received containing
only the measures in which labor had
benefited therefrom as the record of the
President. The chairman of the COM
mittee was at once instructed to write
President Gompers that what was wanted
was a complete record and not only the
measures that President Wilson had ia
vored for labor. 1t was explained to Mr.
Gompers that the complete record was
wanted because it was the intention and
desire of the committee to present to
voters the truah, and not one side, or a
part of the truth, but the whole unvar-
nished truth-and then to allow the work
ers to decide thier court at the polls for
themselves.
GOMPERS REPLIES
President Gompers, in q personal letter
to the committee, acknowledged the re-
buke, and stated that in the future the
policy of the American Federation of La
Dor would be to furnish records of can
didates for office which would be COM
plete, regardless Of how 1t effected the
interests of labor.
The Russell Sage foundation has also
Interested itself in this new labor move
ment in Birmingham, and has requested
some of it's literature and it's plans.
The last mass meeting of the Iabor's
volunteer cooperative citizenship and
educational committee was held early last
summer just prior to the referendum
on the civic bond issues. At that meet
ing both sides of the question were pre-
sented and the Bijou theatre was packed
to the roof with the workers of the dis
trtct.
