worthy of more than a passing thought.
Here are the Stetsons for Fall and Winter,
ready for you at our store. “Ready” but
not waiting”— “going” is the word.
Nothing finer can be said of a hat
this Fall than: “It is a Stetson.”
The John B. Stetson Company informs
us that despite a general shortage of ex
pense e furs for felts, Stetson hats are
finer than ever-for the Stetson Company
was prepared.
And, our word for it-you will have
better style in your hat if you have finer
quality.

ATLANTA 15 THE
FAIR CITY WITH
BIG WEEK HEBE
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13.—Atlanta is ■ ‘
crowded with visitors as it has not (
been since the Spring Music Festival
when the Grand Opera brought thous- (
ands of music-loving people from the!
South here. ft is a different crowd, I
however. Those here in the spring
were interested in but one thing—Mus
ic, while these visitors are eagerly
awaiting the opening tomorrow of the
Southeastern Fair, in anticipation of
the great exposition of the South’s
varied resources. By tomorrow’ after
noon it is believed 25,000 visitors will
be in Atlanta.
Special trains are reaching the city
hourly. They are bringing not only
passengers, but hundreds of thorough
bred horses from every Southern state,
Kentucky and Tennessee; fine cattle,!
hogs and poultry and a wealth of ag-'
i ’cultural products. An army of work
men are rapidly installing the exhibits
in the vast buildings and putting the
finishing touches on the displays. By
tonight everything will be in readiness j
for the informal opening tomorrow. '
The formal opening will not be until
Monday, when thousands will present
their souvenir keys for admission.
The Grand Circuit races, those for- !
tunes in horse flesh are beginnig to
arrive on special trains of stock parlor j
cars. They will soon begin limbering I
upon the new race track surrounding I
the picturesque lake, in preparation for ,
the series of races next week. There
are more famous horses, w’orld’s title
holders in Atlanta than has ever been
assembled here. Their coming has been
a signal for every Southern man who
loves a horse—and they all do—toi
make their way to Atlanta unless pre-
j
vented by unforseen corcumstances.
Race and record discussions are heard '
in every hotel lobby and wherever |
men gather.
The fair grounds will be opened to
visitors tomorrow morning at 71
o’clock. No special program has been |
arranged for that day. Sunday visitors
will be allowed. The amusement park
will be open and John C. Weber’s band,!
one of the four musical organizations
engaged for the fair, will render a
special sacred concert morning and
t evening. Following the formal opening
Monday morning the judging will be
gin. The firs*. Grand Circuit Race will
be held in the afternoon and the open
ing event in the Society Horse Show in
the evening. The race and Horse Show
will be the chief afternoon and even
ing attractions. The night program
will be closed shortly before midnight
with a spectacular fire works display
I or. the lake. These displays cost the
Fair Association S3OO each evening.
Free Hippodrome and vaudeville acts
will be staged in front of the grand
stand during the intermission, after
; noons and evenings.
| Thre days of next week the Atlanta
Kennel Club will hold its bench show.
i The aristocracy of dogdom, from all
parts of the country, has been entered
and will compete for the fifty hand
some trophies and hundreds of com
mercial prizes. The entry list is long
er this year than any for a previous
bench show by the local club.

SEABROOK BACK FROM
FIELDS OF WAR IN FRANCE
i
I ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13.—William
B. Seabrook, a well known Atlanta
newspaper and advertising man who
went to France six months ago to
serve in the American ambulance
corps as an ambulance driver, is back
at home among his friends, none the
| worse for his perils in piloting his car
’ back and forth to Verdun during the
height of the great battle that raged
around that fortress for months, and
very liberally supplied with impress
ions and reminiscences of the Great
War.
His wife, a popular member of the
society set, followed him to France
and enlisted as a nurse in the great 1
base hospital near Paris, and returned:
with him on the LaEpagne.
“The most horrible thing I saw in
my stay in France,” said Seabrook
yesterday, "was a dead French sold
ier lying in the moonlight. Every
night for five nights I drove past him
and each succeeding night he became
a thing more horrid and terrible.”

URGE SLICES FROM
THE WURLO SERIES
The world series which ended yes
terday in the victory of the Boston Red
Sox over the Brooklyn Trolley Dodg
ers, in sou- out of five games, furnish
ed interesting figures, which have been
put together by Dick Jemison, of the
Atlanta Constitution, in the following
article:
The 1916 world’s series established ■
some records of its own. Even if it i
seemed apparent to everyone that it'
was a foregone conclusion as to who
would win the series, the attendance
and receipts failed to be affected.
The players’ share from the series,
$162,927.45, is the largest purse that
the players have ever divided in the
world’s series, surpassing last year's
by eighteen thousand-odd dollars.
Prior to the start of the series it I
was announced that 26 Red Sox were!
eligible for division of the receipts.;
Each of these twenty-six men will re-|
ceive $3,759.86, or a little better than
S7OO a day, or at the rate of about S6O !
a minute, arguing that they worked'
two hours a day. The Red Sox players'
share was $97,756.47.
Twenty-three Brooklyn Trolley j
Dodgers will receive $2,833.52, which I
as a loser’s bit is some bit, as we see
it; $65,170.98 was divided between the
23 eligibles.
Comparisons.
There were 162,859 paid admissions
to the five games, which surpassed last
year, and also usrpassed every other
year of the 13 years the series has
been conducted under the auspices of
the national commission with the ex
ception of 1911 and 1912.
The total receipts for the series
were $385,590.50. This surpassed all
previous seasons, with the exception of
1912.
Each club received as its share $92,-
052.02, the season of 1912 alone prov
, ing better for the club owners than
1916.
The national commission also did
I handsomely, the 1912 series, which was
j the eight-game series between the Red
Sox and the Giants being the only one
! that netted them more than $38,559.05,
I which they received this season, and
that year, with three games more, only
netted them ten thousand dollars more.
In point of number of games played,
the 1916 series financially was the best

MEMBER AMERICUS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MORE GEORGIA JUDGES SHOULD ,
FOLLOW THIS GOOD EXAMPLE'
ATLANTA ,Ga., Oct. 13. —Because
P A. Johnson, a well-known citizen
of Spalding county, is reputed to be
very well-to-do, and therefore able to
pay a fine, Judge W. T. Newman of I
the United States district court, did
not stop with imposing a fine upon
him yesterday, following Johnson’s
conviction on the charge of making
moonshine liquor.
Judge Newman fined Johnson SIOO,
and then sentenced him to serve six
months in the federal prison in At
lanta, in addition to the out-of-pocket
punishment for his alleged offense.
Previous to his conviction in the
United States court, Johnson was tried
and found guilty in the state court of
Spalding county for violating the
state prohibition law, and that case
cost him SBOO.
His defense was that the moonshine
distillery discovered on his place was
there without Ms knowledge, and was
being operated by a negro.
'-LITTLE BOB’" JONES PICKED
TO BE DINNER AT ATLANTA
i ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13. —Although
| he failed to win the National Amateur
' Golf championship of the United
i States, which would have been a feat
j unprecedented for a boy of fourteen
years, “Little Bob” Jones of this city,
who went to the semi-finals in the
rational, is picked as an easy winner
in the club championship tournament
of the Atlanta Athletic club, which be
gins today. It is not believed there is
a golfer in the club who can hold the
toy an candle in the ancient and royal
game, unless it be another boy wonder,
Perry Adair, who fought “Little Bob”
to a finish for the Georgia champion
ship in a tournament for that title
, held several weeks ago on the Brook
haven course of the Capital City club.
