did business ability and untiring energy
 In working for the good of the fair and
 its success has so impressed itself upon
 his co-workers and the public, that when
 he makes an endeavor to retire from the presidency and have some one else elected to the position there is such a protest that it invariably turns out that the next president is President Brown.
 To those who are not acquainted with
 the manifold details encumbent upon the president of such an organization, little is known of the time and money
 and energy expended on the enterprise and President Brown deserves the ap- preciaton and gratitude of the whole state of Alabama for what he has so unselfishly done in~behalt of the Ala bama State Fair as it's president. Delighted always to talk about the
 'big show" President Brown chattet happily yesterday when asked about tn, opening of the fair tomorrow, an1 among other things he said
 Particularly would l like to empha size the fact that the Alabama State Fair is not operated for profit. The association has never declared divi- l lend in it's history. The money which
 has been made has been put straight back into improvements, and by thi plan we have been enabled to rebuild three buildings and make several very much needed improvements, thus aug menting our space and- arrangements | materially.
 The Alabama State Fair is sup signed by thirty five patriotic, public | spirited citizens" President Brown con tinued ''so that if the receipts run short. if there is a deficit, if things do not come up to our expectations. we simply notify the guarantors that a l check is needed, naming the amount, and the difference is thus made up.
 This was notably brought to the at-
 tention of the public the year of the errible epidemic of influenza Presi-
 dent Brown said, when the gates were
 closed and everything was suspended, and the fair came to an untimely end for that year It matters not what
 catastrophe happens, what obstacles come up, the guarantors are responsi- ble for the loss that comes to the fair; bad weather, poor crowds, anything, everything is covered and the public knows nothing about it. All we want the public to do and to know is that
 the fair is providing them with a week of delightful pleasure. The fair be-
 ongs to the people; it is theirs and it
 is an institution for the benefit of the
 community. conducted along educational lines, therefore, not only benefiting Birmingham, but Jefferson county and fthe entire state; every city and every county in the state; indeed, the country | at large, since we receive exhibits from
