agement, that almost every feature
far surpasses that of the 1919 eff
fort. The auto races which takes
place October 80 are as good as
are any where. The auto races and
the auto-polo come direct from the
Southeastern fair in Atlanta. The
swine, cattle, horse, sheep, goat,
mule and poultry exhibit viii be the
best. There are almost agricul-
tural exhibits from Baker, Lee, Ter
rel, Worth, Mitchell, Tiff and
Dougherty counties. The woman's
work will be wonderful to see.
The trotting, pacing and running
horse racing will be the best. The
most wonderful circus acts you have
even seen, shown twice daily on the
free act platform in front of the
grand stand. The concert band is
one of the most wonderful musical
organizations to be found, and this
attraction is given by the Royal Be /
gian Veteran band This band Will
give delightful Sacred concert in
front of the grand stand on Sunday
Afternoon at o'clock, Oct. 81.
The Officers are positive in their
claim that there will no better oc-
casion of its kind held in the United
States. Neither money nor work has
been spared to make this fair an oc-
casion which all South Georgia will
be proud of.

WATSON AIDS COX.
DESPITE LEAGUE.
Don't Be Worried By
His Whoops, Says
Senator-Elect

ATLANTA, Oct. 1S.-Following
the statement issued few days ago
by Governor-elect Thomas W. Hard
wick, making an appeal to the
Democrats of Georgia to contribute
to the national campaign fund, and
ITO support Cox and Roosevelt, comes
now the issue of Senator-elect Tohs.
E. Watson's newspaper with a
strong appeal by him to the Democ-
racy of the state to do the same
two things-give money to wage the
Democratic fight, and to support
Cox and Roosevelt. Mr.. Watson says
he was asked by W. W. Marsh, ma
tional treasurer for the Democrats,
to aid in raising the fund in this
state.
Mr.. Watson says:
"This interchangeable governor
(Cox) is our man, and we must
stand by our nominee. He has made
a great fight and by sheer personal
force and hard hitting he has kept
the Republicans awake and scar
ed"
An emphasized feature of Mr.
Watson's appeal is as follows:
Don't be worried by his whoops
for the league; the senate will as
sert itself you may be sure.
Frankly, it is to your interest
and mine for you to contribute to
the necessary and legitimate expens-
es of our nominees campaign. Gov
ernor Cox is our nominee, although
the state of Georgia was expelled
from the national convention. Tu-
multy, Wilson, Palmer, Daniels,
Clark Howell, Albert Howell and
Hub Dean ct al were responsible for
that outrage. Cox had no hand in
it."

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH

Perhaps the story of Deborah's
love for Jim Lorimer and her at
tempts to overcome it would not
have taken so great a hold upon me
if my interest in my husband and
my home has been i nhappy equili-
brium. The time | gave to eonsid-
ering poor Deb's troubles was for
tunately subtracted from time to
worry about my own.
Deb's latest plan to think of Jim
as one who had died sounded superb
to me, but it didn't help mel
couldn't apply it to husband as ac-
tive and as irritable as Bob, and |
couldn't see that it was working
much better for Deb than for me.
Of course Deb couldn't live in the
same town with Jim and escape
hearing the news about him. In Oc-
tober she was constantly at the big
Lorimer mansion where she heard
the hourly bulletins from the in
valid to his mother
Deb was pledged to help Chrys in
her political work. | had tried to
spoil the plan for Deb's peace of
mind, but Chrys wouldn't let Deb
go. Chrys said that Deb was inval-
liable as an office manager.
The office which Chrys managed
was in her fathers house. Getting
out the woman's vote was absorb
ing all of my sister-in-law's remark
able energy. Shehad her suffrage
allies aimed to make their home
town register more women voters
than any city of its size in the coun-
try.
Don't you girls begin to play
politics" warned Daddy Lorimer.
"Our organization is not concern
ed with how women vote in Novem-
ber," Chrys explained. eve insist
that they go to the polls and vote
that's ALL"
On that basis Daddy gave her a
generous check. Thus he pleased
his wife as well as his daughter.
Since the end of the Queen of
Smiles" episode, daddy had been the
most chivalrous of husbands. Moth

Schwanke Renamed
By Park Board

The Kenosha Park Board is not look
ing for a new superintendent. At the
special meeting Of the board held on
Monday afternoon in the mayors of
flee, the members Of the board took
up the proffered resignation of Super

BURNING BOAT
THREATENS DOCK
Spectacular Fire in Keno
sha River Monday Eve
Causes Little Damage.


One Of the most spectacular fires
that Kenosha has had for several
months broke out Monday evening just
after eight o'clock when the cabin of
the Greiling Brothers pile driver,
locked in the Kenosha river along the
tannery pier, was discovered in flames.
The fire quickly enveloped the cabin Of
the boat and threatened for a time TO
spread to all of the boats anchored
along the tannery dock and to the adj
jacent buildings. The fire department
by quick and efficient work kept the
fire confined to the tug and after ten
minutes Of fighting with the flames
during which two lines of hose played
on the fire, had it completely under
control. The damage is no expected
to be more than several hundred dol
lars although the cabin of the tug was
completely destroyed.
Lights Up the Docks.
The origin of the fire has not been
explained. The dredge was not in use
on Monday and there had been no fire
in the engine for several days. The
flames started outside the cabin and
because of the infammable material
there it spread rapidly When discov.
cred it had already burst into a big
flame and had lighted up the entire
dock line. The fire attracted large
crowd who stood on the Main street
bridge and watched the fremen pre-
vent the spread to neighboring boats
and to the docks.
Members Of the fire department this
morning declared that the fire had
shown one of the most dangerous fire
hazards in Kenosha. They declared
that the amount of oil in the Kenosha
river would have made it impossible to
keep the fire under control if it had
been allowed to get started there. For
tunately on Tuesday when the fire oc-
Cured there was little wind stirrine
and this helped to keep the fire from
proving damaging.
Representatives Of the Greiling com
pany We're checking up the damage to
the dredge this morning. It was said
that there may have been some dam
age to the machinery but that outside
of this the flames could not have
caused more than several hundred
dollars damages.

A quartette of negroes, two men and
two women furnished the amusement
in the municipal court this morning.
The quartette included James Bartell,
N. Marshall and Jessie Smith of Mil
waukee, and Margaret Harris of Chi
cago. The arrest of them was made
at house on Pearl street just before
midnight. The Smith woman was
found with her shoes off and evidently
very much at home and although she
insisted that she was just resting her
feet" the court believed that this was
enough to constitute disorderly con-
duct. The other members of the party
had a series of conflicting stories to
tell the court when the case was called
and as no two stories seemed to hitch
the court decided that all were equally
guilty. The two women and the two
men came to the same decision of the
court and pleas of guilty were entered.
Fines of ten dollars and the costs of
the action were imposed in each case
and paid.

GENEVA ROAD
PLANS READY
Hi way Commissioner
Gets Plans for Big
Improvement.

County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog this morning received from the
state highway commission the com
pleted plans for the continuation of
the improvements of the Geneva road.
This is federal project and the plans
have been approved by both the state
and federal road engineers. The plans
will be submitted for bids in the near
future, but final action to order the
work done will not be taken until after
the bids have been considered by the
state highway commission The esti-
mated cost Of the work is 100000 but
it is doubtful if the bids will be any
where near this amount Should rising
the amount suggested, it is not i'm
probable that the work will be laid
over until another year. The Kenosha
county road commission is anxious to
get this work started and completed.
No Contracts Let Today.
The county highway commission was
in session during the day, but no con-
tracts for road improvements were let
and most of the day was given over to
the examination Of patrolmen and the
signing Of contracts with these men.
The patrolmen are. to go to work some
time about the first of April, with the
understanding that they will be paid
s165 month with bonus of SIS q
month if they work the full months.
The patrolmen who signed contracts
this morning included Jacob Frederick,
Charles Burgess and L E. Hunsbusch-
er. Eight patrolmen had been tenta-
lively employed by the county solons
at the time Of the recent road school
but several of the men failed to put
in an appearance this morning to
make the contracts for the seasons
work.
