The organ ization of the Georgia-Carolina Fail was the result of the untiring effort: of influential citizens of this city anc vicinity to have an annual fall shov to exploit the resources of the wonderful Savannah River Valley. Mr James U. Jackson has been president of the association ever since its organization and to his untiring efforts much of the success tha. has been attained is due. The first thing to think of when it was decided to have an annual fair was a location. The association decided upon a tract of land about two miles from the heart of the city and on the north side of the Lake View car line, just to the east of the lake ttself. Work was begun shortly after the purchase was made and a magnificent main fair building waj erected. A race track was buill which is said to be one of the fastest half mile race courses in the country and a grand stand with a seating capacity of 1,800 was next put up. A large number of stable* tor live stock were built and a high plank fence constructed around the rrrAimrJe TV..-? ? ~ ?l f^isyuu'iJi x ill w /VOl O d^U VVI1CI1 the Augusta Poultry Club decided to have its annual show ai the fair a commodious two si buiiuing was erected. The buildins* and grouddj owned by the Georgia-Carolina Fair Association are estimated tc be worth in the neighborhood of $75,000, which is a large sum fcj an organization of its kind to havt as assets. It can be seen from this statement of the wealth of the association and its backing by the trip business men of the community that there is some reason for this city tc feel proud of her annual fair and can afford to boast quite a bit re" garding the superior attractions that will be seen here at the cominp fair which opens on Nov. 7th. The view from the fair grounds i< magnificent. On the Carolina side of the Savannah River the Hamptor Terrace Hotel on the crest of a great hill, nearly 300 feet above the cit> proper, stands as a wonderful example of the modern tourist hostlery It was erected by northern capital i ,ts ^t a cost of nearly three quart. I ers of a million dollars and is fill ec with quests each winter. On the west side and the soutl side of the fair grounds is Lak< View park and Summerville. th< most famous winter resort in thi: section of thi country. The placit , waters cf Lake View are within ; few hundred feet of the main fai . building and on delightful autum afternoons boating is a favorite spor Taking everything into consider ation it may be said with utmos , candor and witnout fear of contra diction that Augusta has the bes fall fair in this part of the countr; 1 and with grounds superbly located 1 and l:or Sale 375 acres of good land locate* near Jones' Cross Roads in Aike 1 c unty. Improved by 5 roor s ' dwelling, two barns, enant hous; ^ | mill and mill house, blacksmith sho and other improvements. Thre horse ^ood farms of open land. I'. N. Williams, Samaria, S.

This is the ninth bask in Lex- "V , ington county and the business so far done by the new institution is said to be far in excess of the expectations of the promotors. Following is a list of the officers1 L W Wise, president; 1) F Shumpert first vice president; C R Rish, second vice president, and J D Haiti- ^ . wanger, cashier. The bank has the following board sl of directors: L W Wise. J D Haiti( wanger, D F Shumpert, C R Rish, 31 , DrDR Kneece, Jas E Dunbar and , W H Sharpe. ^ tl The new bank is but another evidence of the growth and develop- hi ment of the famous sand hills of e; 1 Lexington county. This growth Is jc : due, in large measure, to the extern rr . sion of the Southern railway from Columbia to Perry. Pelian is growing every day. The *( town has three churches, a number of stores, and a school which runs , 1 nine months in the year. I i :j ARRESTED ON TRAIN > v r YOUNG MAN IN JAIL ACCUS- H : ED OF STEALING WATCH i C I Saluda, Oct. 18.?Magistrate Si- ^ mons this afternoon brought to Sa lucla and committed to jail a young j ' white man, giving his name as Cal' vin Deaton, charged with stealing a gold watch and $100 from a travel: ing man between Augusta and Wards J on the northbound passenger train 1 this morning. The party from whom ? *he prope<ty was stolen gave his | : name as John B Mann and stated I that he was engaged in the produce business and lived in North Carolina. (Both men boarded the Southern , h " train in Augusta this morning, Deaton having a ticket for Bate~burg and " Mann one for some point in North j Carolina. It seems that they sat to gethei for some distant e and DeatII on moved to ano'.hci seat. Mann " | then missed his watch and asked ? I policeman Derrick to search Deaton, s as he was confident he had his watch M ( 'hief Derrick, who was returning! 'Mtf R !. 1f mm A I 1 ? - 11UUI i xirvv-ii, dp" ] J r proachcd Deaton and made known 11 his purpose. Deaton at first denied most \iolently knowing anything at bout it and when he saw that he was - t > be searched quickly threw the t watch out of the car window as the y train was approaching Wards. He was arrested at Wards and the wari rant issued. He is now in jail. Mann also claimed to have lost $100, but rl ^ none of the money was found on n - . 1 Deaton. n . 1 Deaton claims that Mann gaAe ^ p j him the watch.
