FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9. Don’t Forget to Pay Debts Tomorrow Lest You Forget, Saturday, Circus Day, October 10th, is Day When You Are to Pay Some of Your Debts There Will Be Thousands of People in Augusta- -Rotary Club Members to Pay at Least Five Dollars Each and See That Everyone to Whom Money is Paid Pays Some One Else. Saturday is "Debt-Paying Day” in Augusta. This is the final reminder. Saturday should be one of the best days Augusta has ever had, for if everyone will pay a portion of his debts and see to it that everyone he pays pays someone else more money will change hands than ever before in a single day in this city. The circus is coming to town Satur day and there will be hundreds, prob ably thousands, of country people here. Every incoming train will be laden with human freight and large numbers of others will come by priv ate conveyance. Many of the people from the country will pay some of their debts and when they pay you keep the good work up by paying gome of your obligations. The Hotary Club has taken the mat ter up and each of the forty members of that organization w’ill pay at least $5 in debts on Saturday. Crisp one dollar bills will be used to which there will be a tag attached bearing these words, “Hotary Dollar, pay a debt and keep it going.” The S2OO which the Rotarians will pay debts with should change hands many times and if it changes hands as many as ten times, $2,000 in debts will be paid. The one-dollar bills with the tags attached can be had at The Herald office Friday afternoon and Saturday morning by Rotarians in exchange for $5 bills. No matter how much or how little No Prizes Offered at S. C. State Fair For Live Stock Means That Augusta Will Get the Exhibits Secretary Beane Secures Exhibit of Large Carolina Hog Raiser Who Will Bring Thirty-Two Duroc-Jerseys to Geor gia-Carolina Fair, October 19th to 24th. Because of the fact that the South Carolina State Fair at Columbia will not offer any cash premiums for live stock exhibits a large number of live stock owners throughout the Palmetto State will bring their cattle, hogs and other live stock to the Georgia-Caro lina Fair, which begins in Augusta on October 19th. and continues until the 24th. Secretary- Beane is receiving each day requests for space and he ex pects to have the live stock building filled to overflowing. One of the largest hog raisers in South Carolina, a gentleman from Ninety-Six, will bring 32 Duroc Jersey hogs to the fair. He said that he had expected to carry them to Columbia inasmuch as that was the state fair in South Carolina, but no prizes are being offered there. Mr. Beane is receiving not only large NEW KEITH VAUDEVILLE < DELIGHTS BIJOUITES A Splendid New Bill For the Balance oi Week The audiences that witnessed the (our Keith vaudeville acts at the Bijou last night were given a distinct treat and one that is calculated to make hundreds of friends for the new policy of the Bijou. The Bijou wifi not be large enough to hold the <Towds, if such ex cellent acts are to he seen, which the management guarantees. Keith vaude ville sets the standard and can always be relied upon as the best that can be had. It would be hard to see four bet ter acts In any theatre than are m.w being presented at the Bijou. In addi tion to this fact the Bijou Is showing a most remarkable European war picture, •'The Kaiser's Challenge,” which Is un questionable one of the most interesting ever exhibited, as it shows the Kaiser himself, actual scenes of battle along tho French-German frontier, a duel in the air and many other startling scenes. Coupled with all this Senor Andonegui's orchestra supplies the best in musical selections. Every act on the bill is clever and was received with unusual applause at all of yesterday's performances. The skat ing and dancing-on-skates, with a cost ly and beautiful cyoloramlc purple plush drop as a background, won Instant fa vor. The young lady is beautiful, shapely and very graceful, which gives added charm to her ability to skate while her partner does some clever stunts on the skates This team, Neher and Kappell, $15,000 FOR RIVER WORK BELOW CITY •s u. S. Engineers, Says Savan nah News, Receive Orders From War Department. Official* In the United States en gineer's office, according to the Sav annah Morning News, have received instructions from the War L>epart ment to continue work under way in this district. It Is the result of the passage of the rivers and harbors bill. Appropriations were cut from $53,- *OO 000 to $30,000,000. Savannah har bor gets $160,000 and the Savannah River below Augusta, $16,000. Work on the Altamaha river, which had been suspended, will be resumed In two or three weeks. It will con sist of snagging and cutting channels through rock shoals. Snags will he removed first. The dredgeboat Oconee will be sent there for this purpose. you owe pay some of it to your credit ors Saturday and insist that those whom you pay keep the good work up. The tenth of the month is a day on which many people pay their bills anyway, and those who have been putting off paying them until after the tenth should make a strenuous effort to pay them on this date. Your creditor, remember, is expecting you to pay him some money Saturday, October 10th, because he wants to add it to some that he has to pay some one else. The spirit of "Debt-Paying Day” is infectious and the more people you pay the more you will want to pay and because you have paid some of your debts you will feel better than you have before in many months. It’s a great scheme, this one of paying bedts. Unfortunately, in some quar ters, it has not been as popular as it should, but let Saturday, the tenth of October, 1914, be the day when many turn over a new leaf, start paying debts promptly and the(y -will find that Augusta is the best place in the world to live in. Be able to walk down Broad Street Sunday without having to look a single person you owe and haven't paid something to, in the face. Lest you forget, pay your debts Saturday and stipulate that the peo ple you pay must pay others with the money. numbers of live stock exhibits, but ex hibits of many other kinds. The “made in Augusta,” department of the fair, as outlined in The Herald Thursday, will be one of the biggest features. Every person who has any kind of manufacturing concern in the city is urged to make an exhibit at the fair. It is planned to have all of the Augus ta-made articles in one section so that people may see just what Augusta manufactories are making. The trade at home movement can be wonder fully stimulated in this manner. The amusements at the fall fair will be of htgh class. There will be a great idway show put on by Leon M. Washburn’s Mighty Midway Shows and there will also be high class au tomobile and horse races. played the Forsythe Theatre. Atlanta, last week. The second set is that of Miss Mabel Johnstone, who is one of the most remarkable ventriloquists ever heard. She Is really wonderful and scored possibly the biggest hit of the bill. Her dummy seems human and the audience is kept in a constant state of laughter. For number three on the bill comes the Ballo Brothers, a musical act that makes the feet beat time —they Just can't keep still. These boys sure do play and their selections scored heavily —especially the beautiful medley. "Mem phis Blues” by these entertainers on different Instruments, was excessively applauded. The fourth and feature est of the bill, was the Kuma Japanese, a man, woman and child IJapanese), who perform some mystifying tricks, do acrobatic stunts together with singing and dancing by a clever little Japanese girl of eight years. The little girl sings prettily and is grace itself In her little dances. She was encored time and again and very graciously responded. The spe cial scenery carried by this act Is the most beautiful ever seen on a local stage and must have cost >2,000 to $3,- 000. You cannot find a better entertain ment for the popular prices anywhere than the Keith vaudeville now being presented by the Bijou. WEATHER FOR CIRCUS SOMEWHAT DOUBTFUL The weather for the circus may or may not be good Here's what the weather man says: ’’Unsettled weather tonight and Satur day; probably local showers.” The temperature will remain mild—ln fact slightly above normal, hut the chances are about even as to rain, or rather showers, for there Is a differ ence In "rain" and "showers" In the language of the wtather men.
