WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER R Demand For Exhibit Space Greatest in History of Fair Hogs, Poultry and Sheep From West , Virginia at Georgia-Carolina Fair Demand For Exhibit Space Greater Than Ever Before---A Partial List of the Exhibitors in the Live Stock Depart ment---The Fair Starts Next Monday. Never in the history of the Georgia- Carolina Fair Association has there been such a demand for space for ex hibit* as now. It seems that the gen eral plan for the raisin# of more live stock and the diversification of crops has increased the ardor of breeders of high-class live stock of every descrip tion to show the public what they have. On Wednesday morning the fair as sociation received an entry of sheep, poultry and Duroc-Jersey hogs from R. B. Martin, of Waldeck, W. Va. It is a long ways from West Virginia to the Georgia-Carolina Fair, but this shows how well the fair is advertised throughout the country. Secretary Beane expects to make •rough room in the spacious live stock building for every entry because he wishes to encourage the exhibition of live stock all that he can. Among the prominent live stock owners who will make exhibits will be: Lespedeza Farms, Hickory Valley, Tennessee, Short Horn cattle. QUESTION IF HOI FARMER CAN GET OUTS TO PUNT * SIMPLE ONE ■ i „ ■■ ■' jr If One-Horse Farmer Has to Sell Bale of Cotton to Get Enough Oats to Plant the Rise in Value of the Other Cotton He is Holding Will More Than Compensate Him. Where a Farmer Has Been Planting Thirty Acres in Cotton Let Him Plant Fifteen in Oats and Only Fifteen in Cotton. Now is the time for the farmers of this section to begin to plant oats and plan to diversify their crops in many ways for next year. The European war has produced a situation entirely unique in the world's history and it will mean the revelution of farming in the south. Those people who are in clined to view the war as a catastro phe from which it will be hard for the south to recover, are all wrong. A great majority of the thinking people believe that the farming methods of the south will be completely revolu tionized and this section in the fu ture will raise something else besides cotton. Mr. Weems A. Smith, whose plan for the farmers to plant 18.000,000 acres of oats in the south by the first of December has attracted the widest attention and the most favor able comment, was asked Wednesday how some of the farmers can get enough oats to sow. Many small farmers have raised no oats for years and now they are in debt to the cotton factors and the banks and the question of getting SPORTITORIALLY SPOKEN (By J. H. S. There are a great many“prophets” locally, and throughout the country, including Connie Mack, who have come forth boldly and declared that the Athletics would win, even walk a-way, with the world's series. How ever, regardless of the fact that the famous Philadelphia machine had been proven superior, by these "pre dictors.” Manager George Stallings has proven each and every one of thes same gentlemen as belonging to the Ananias club, unknowingly at least. For several years back now, there has been nothing but "Athletics- Giants” in the air; what they would do, and what they would not do. Its going to be different now. for a while at least —even if a "gent” from these parts did have to go up there and change the Universe, baseballically. Marvelous, and many other terms similar to this one are now being ap plied to Stallings. Just as a matter of pleasant rehearsal let's take a SPORT DOPE Braves to Tour South America. Boston,—The world’s champions Boston Nationals, will make a tour of South America next year, according to an anonuncement by Frederick Al fonso Pezet, Peruvian minister to the United States, at a baseball dinner given by the chamber of commerce. Mr. Pezet said Manager Stallings, of the champions, had Informed him he would aend two teams to make the tour. Hoppe Takes Lead, Balk Line. Chicago,—Willie Hoppe, champion American bllllardlst yesterday took tho lead In his match here with Mel bourne Inman, English champion, by winning 1,000 to 232, two games, at 18.2 balk line.

Now York—John McGraw gets $lB,- 000 a year for managing the New York National League club, according to a statement he made yesterday at the tax office when he swore off the per sonal assessment the city had levied against him .The leader of the Oiants said all his salary was required to maintain his family. CITY SERIES GAMES Giants Win Seriss. Polo Grounds, Nsw York.—The New York Nationals yesterday defeated the N»w York Americans, 4 to 1, win ning tho c ’.y aeries, four games to J. D.

Gilchrist, Augusta, Ga., Hol stein cattle. There are many other exhibitors of live stock whose names will be an nounced later. The fair starts next Monday. Make ararngements to come. seed oats is somewhat of a problem. "It should he no problem at all,” said Mr. Smith, “for one can get good enough seed oats for 65 cents per bushel and if a farmer has to sell a bale of cotton in order to get enough oats to plant, the rise of price in the other cotton that he has will more than compensate him for the small price he may receive for the bale se sells. “Let’s take for example a case like this: Suppose a farmer with only a one horse farm has been planting 30 acres in cotton each year and ten in corn . Let him plant 15 acres of the land he has been planting in cotton in oats. It will take about two bushels to the acre.. He can sell a bale of cot ton and take S2O of the money to buy oats. Neither the banks nor the cotton factors will have to advance him any money on the oat crop, although on the 15 acres that he will plant in cot ton he should get (jpme little advances next year. If the one horse farmer plows In the 15 acres of oats himself it will cost nothing." slant into what this southerner has accomplished. From the bottom of the percentage column, in the Nation al League, the Braves have soared to the leading position, and in a little ovef» three months at that. Then af ter sticking there a while, Just long enough to capture the bunting in the National, George pilots his crew of Braves to the championship of the world, winning four consecutive games from a bunch of world famous players that have heretofore crushed all comers, and at everry point of the conflict have completely drowned them out—Boston wins the series by a percentage of games of 1,000 while their opponents are chalked up as fol lows: 000.

Friday---“ White” Davis Out of Game---Preparing For Riverside Contest. The Academy coaches are well pleased over the showing In the War renton game Monday. Inasmuch as the game was intended for the purpose of training for the Riverside game on the 22d, the coaches took advantage of the opportunity to try out some new formations, both on offense and de fense. A new defensive formation de signed for the purpose of breaking up the old baekfield tandem formation was tried out and proved most suc cessful. The most gratifying point was the demonstration of the fact that the baekfield is composed of a bunch of most excellent line-buckers. This coming to back up the strength of the plunges in the G. M. C. game against a far heavier line leads the coaches to believe that the smashing game is the one that they can most surely depend upon. “White” Davis Out of Game. Captain “White” Davis, whom com petent judges declare to be the best all-around baekfield man In prep bail and whom many college men who have seen his work declare can make any college team In the South, was in jured in the first few minutes of play in Monday’s game, and injured so se verely that he could not be used in any of the formations. Only pure grit kept him in the game at all. Even under these conditions he kicked four of the five goals after touchdowns, and made a beautiful drop kick from the 40-yard line. Before the game “White” in practicing drop kicks from the 40- yard line put 9 out of 12 over the bar. in additon to his drop kicking and place kicking, “White" is really a mar velous punter, several of hts punts in games going for 60 to 70 yards. The coaches will keep him out of the game Friday, playing Martin in the back field and letting Bryan do the punt ing. The Riverside game continues to be the chief topic of conversation among local football fans. These will be out in force Friday to get a line on the Academy team In Its game with War ren ton.

He had no sooner drawn a zigzag line across the' little neck of land thut connects the two great American con tinents for the purpose of showing the Panama canla, when the Balkan states begun to swap boundaries with Tur key. He finished that Job and then It looked as though the world’s map would remain as corrected for many a long day, and the map maker could go away for a much-needed rest. But there were rumors of war, which soon grew into noisy talk, and then some body threw a brick, since when the poor, tired maker of maps has been sitting up nights trying to follow the armies and line them up in little red dotted battalions, until now he has entirely lost track of the original bor der lines and is wondering if Europe will ever again be separated into di visions or will always continue in one state of delirium. But the young idea who is learning to shoot need not think that ho is going to escape his study of geo graphy. He will be supplied with a new one, for publishers are now wait ing to learn what changes are to be made in Europe. Headers of the Herald will be en abled to keep up with the European situation through "The Nations at War," which Is now being presented to them on the popular coupon plan. A new part Issued every two weeks, the entire series making a complete story of the great conflict. The plan Is fully explained in the Wair Book Coupon printed from day to day.

It Is stated by the coroner’s phy sician, Dr. Montgomery, who Investi gated Into the cause of death, thut the deceased died suddenly from *omu heart trouble. It was deemed unneces sary to summon a coroner's Jury. Mr. Gregg I* *uld to have been complaining for some time about his (cubic health and, it 1* claimed, told Ida son, Mr, 11. L. Gregg, lust night, that he expected the end near at hand. it Is believed that the man passed peacefully away some time during the night while asleep, and when his body was discovered before noon It was evident that life bad been extinct for several hours. The body was removed to the under taking establishment of Blanchard Andrews, where It was prepared for burial. No arrangements have us yet been made concerning the time of the funeral, place of Interment, etc. The deceased la survived by one daughter. Miss Naomi Gregg, of this city, besides his son. . John James, a white man who is well known In and about Augusta as "Cap” James, a carpenter and a man of im mense physical strength, was shot and killed by Ills brother-in-law, Henry Ra hon, at 6:30 o'clock this (Wednesday) morning at Ills home, 11 miles out on tho Dean's Bridge road. The house stands some three hundred yards to the left of the road, Jus( this side of the turpentine mill, and about eight miles this side of Richmond Bath. Henry Rabon rented the place from James, and ha* been farming it diaing ttie last year or more. A few years ago Rabon married Miss Ruth James, sis ter of the deceased, and It la said that the couple was not happy together. About two months ago John James took up Ills abode with tho Rations, white working on a Job ut Friendship church, end It appears that he had occasion sev eral times to remonstrate with Henrjr Ration about the way he treated his wife. Relations between the two men became strained, hut nevertheless James continued to live out there, apparently with the idea of protecting his sister. The breaking point came on Tuesday, when, after a serious altercation, James, it is alleged, knocked Rabon down with a chnlr. Mrs. Rabon did everything she could to pacify the two men but could not persuade her brother to sleep in tho house last night.. James spent the night In a swing in the yard. Young Walter Rabon was the fourth member of the household, a nephew of Henry Rabon. Ate Under a Tree In Y*rd. This morning at 6:39, when Mrs. Ra tion hail prepared breakfast, she called tho men. The family was accustomed In fine weather to eat at a little table under a big umbrella tree about fif teen feet from tlie house, and as usual she hud the meal set there. James, af ter washing up At the well-pump (for he still would not enter the house), came and sat down at the table. Ra hon remained In the house, and when his wife called him n second time, an swered saying that ho would he there presently. Meanwhile, be dispatched his nephew, Walter Rabon, to the barn for some feed for the tntilo, or on some errand, , end watted till the hoy wan out of sight. Kilted While Eating. .Tamps was by this time sitting down at the table eating, and Ilahon, aiming with a ehot gun out of the window, emptied a barrel full Into the left elde of Ids face, which wue toward the win dow. The window was so clnee to the laiile that |*antlcslly the whole load of No. (! shot lodged In James’ cheek and tirow, killing him instantly, Rabon, In his excitement, fired the second barrel, apparently without aiming, for the shot struck the casing of the window, tear ing a hole ahout the size nf a dollar. Immediately Rabon rushed out of the door, throwing down his shot gun, end encountered Mrs. Rabon, who had been on the other side of the house and did not know what had happened. She screamed and caught hold of him, but he tore himself freo and ran up to the table, where James ,the dead man, was. It Is said tffat he pulled out a pistol and fired it Into the body, which had fallan forward In a pool of blood on the table. It Is alleged that the bullet wound wea * afterwards found In the dead man's head. Mrs. Rabon then caught hold of her husband again and tried to hold him, but he wrenched away and mado for the woods.
