ing the Ueorgia-Caro.ina Fair in Au
gusta this year who will fail to pause
tor a while In this building to see the
complete and splendid exposition of
products o e the liana and products of
the soil.
It is ail truly' one grand educational
exhibit.
“Augusta Made” Goods.
The exhibit which this year appeals
to many, for one reason, from the fact
that it has never been on display at
ihe fair ia Augusta before, is the real
ly remarkable exhibition by the Sibley
Manufacturing Company of "Augusta
Kade" goods
From the carpet on the floor to tho
fragging on a baie of tlie'raw materia!
everything is manufactured of cotton,
and everything is a trtie example of
what is being made right here in tlic
Sibley mills, day after day.
There is ratine, whip cord, leno
weave, momie cloth, duvetyne, anata
line, satteen, shepherd plaids, crash,
enambray. stripes, checks, bed ticking,
suitings, buckram, dobby weaves,
Scotch plaids, bourette, Panama hat
cloth, hop sacking, khaki cloth and
other weaves as well —all cotton goods
—and all manufactured In Augusta.
Articles Displayed.
President Raworth of the Sibley mill
recently had a riding suit made for
himself of whip-cord manufactured in
his mill. It made up well and has
almost the wearing quality of cordu
roy. It is on display in a show case
with other articles ail artistically ar
ranged, which form an attractive part
of the Sibley mill’s exhibit. The other
articles consist of ladies’ ready made
suits, and there is one that looks ex
actly like a soft piece of wool dress
goods. It is beautiful. Then there are
seamless pillow cases, hemstitched bed
sheets, hats, an«l a piece of Scotch
plaid—the fiist bit of cloth that Was
manufactured in the Sibley mill, near
ly thirty years ago.
Dobby Loom Working.
One of the twelve hundred Dobbv
looms of the Sibley mill has been
transferred to the exhibit at the fair
and is connected with a motor, so that
interested visitors may see how the
garments they wear are being mado
in Augusta. At present the loom is
weaving a piece of shepherd plaid—
the kind your aprons are made from
The exhibit was designed and ar
ranged by Miss E. M. Hill with the
assistance of others. The man that
controls the whirring mass of machin
ery iu the big mill is Mr. S. B. Platt,
the superintendent, and he will be
present at the exhibit part of the time
during the fair and will take pleasure
In explaining how the "Augusta made’’
goods is made in the Sibley mill.
J. B. White’s Exhibit.
The exhibit supplied by the J. B.
White & Co. is trictly up-to-date. It
is divided into three departments—
music, toy and house furnishing de
partment. In the toy department laid
out in soil is the European war map,
dotted with regiments of soldiers of
the fighting countries, over the heads
of whom are flying here and there
war aeroplanes. There can be seen
from behind the trenches the huge,
death-dealing siege guns of the Ger
mans, and on another part of the map
some of the big guns of the French.

been brought down by the bullets of
The Midway at the Fair Works
All Night Getting Ready
Arriving 24 Hours Late, the Show People Have a Titantic
Job Setting up Their Apparatus in Time for This Afternoon.
Forced to Make Elephant Work With Wagons.
The Midway at the Georgia-Caro
lina Fair will start giving performan
ces this afternoon, after having work
ed continuously for thirty hours get
ting unpacked and set up. They ar
rived Monday morning, Instead of
Sunday morning as they had expect
ed, and this 24 hours delay was im
possible altogether to make up. After
working without stopping through the
entire night, however, they are this
morning in a shape where nothing
but the finishing work la left to do.
The whole Midway is under the di
rection of one man, Leon W. Wash
burn, and travels as one show, like a
circus. It came here in a special
train of 82 cars, drawn most of the
way by two engines, from Petersburg,
Va., and the delay In reaching Augus
ta was caused by wrecks and wash
outs on the road. Also, owing to the
extreme length of some of their
freight cars, (78 feet) the railroads In
this part of the country would not let
them exceed 15 mile* ari hour, so that
they could not make up any of the
time lost.
Yesterday morning they began
work hauling their big wagons from
the corner of Green*; end Fifteenth
streets, where they unloaded, up to
the Fair Grounds They carry with
them 450 hands all told besides an al
most equal number of animals, being
prepared for almost any emergency,
of loading and unloading under all
conditions. They carry teams of Im
mense dray horses, and even a trac
tion engine, to haul their heavy wag
ons over hill and dale, through mud
and snow, and they thought they
were able to cope with any combina
tion of adverse circumstances But
one thing they had not counted on
was Georgla-Carollna SAND, and it
almost proved their Waterloo.
Ths Lions’ Wagon.
It was all right until they arrived at
the fair ground and tried to leave the
road and go morose the fields.
The great wagon which contained
ths lions, (five of them weighing 400
pounds apiece In a wagon composed
of Iron an' steel and seasoned wood
which weighs sume 1,000 pounds
the enemy are observed lying demol
ished in th_ fields. The scene is a
most realistic one when once the spec
tator has set the details of the plan
in his mind.
In this department there ia also a
splendid display of "American made"
toys, among which are bears, monkeys,
Indian wigwams and outfits of the
Atnerican model builders, which are
practical, educational toys.
War Game.
In the music department, where are
found pianos, piano-players, victrolas
etc., is also the great war game, which
is now on sale at W'hite’s, and which
is destined to become one of the rnos)
popular amusements of the day. Miss
Schmidt is present to play a game with
anyone wishing to learn it. Mr. Frame
Morgan is in charge of the music de
partment of White's exhibit.
The house furnishing department of
White’s exhibit wi.’l catch tiie eye of
every woman that passes. Rather they
will not pass; they will stop. In it is
a Hoosier kitchen cabinet, laden with
good tilings to eat, nearly everything
in tiie cook book, apparently. Free
sewing machine demonstrations are
given and there is also a demonstra
tion of the Audry Sisters’ toilet, prepa
rations by Mrs. Steele.
White’s exhibition is one of the larg
est and most complete in the build
ing.
Rowland & Co.
A splendid exhibit and one which ev
ery farmer should see by all means is
that of Rowland & Co.
"The cotton farmer must diversify
or be bankrupt—W. A. Smith, in The
Augusta Herald” is a sign in large
black letters seen over this exhibit,
and tinder the quotation are found
thirty-five (35) means of diversifying.
There are thirty-five varieties of seeds,
all of w’hich rnay be planted now.
There are oats, barley, pasture grasses,
hay, rye, clovers, Japanese buckwheat,
Canada field peas, wheat and other
seeds.
Other Exhibits.
David Slushy has a splendid exhibit
of rubber roofing, mantels, tiling, sheet
Lin, etc.
The Model Steam Laundry shows in
its exhibit the new way and the old
way of shaping collars. The old ma
chine, it is said, cracked the collars,
while the new one does not.
There is an exhibit of Bromo-Seltz
er, where, in case of headache, anyone
applying will gladly be treated free of
charge. Samples are given away and
tiie sundry uses of this medicine are
explained.
The Augusta Wagon Works has ar
attractive exhibit.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, exhibiting two miniatur-
Metropolitan skyscrapers, models of
the company’s magnificent building hi
New York City, has a booth In the
main building. It is decorated artisti
cally with ferns and evergreens and
adds materially to the attractiveness
of the place.
The Augusta Mattress and Manufac
turing Company has on display in their
booth examples of their goods. Beds,
springs and mattresses, such as are
made right here in Augusta, are all
on display and go to make up another
one of the exhibits of "Augusta made"
goods.
The Augusta Brewery has one of
the neatest, cleanest and best ar
ranged exhibits in the building. Thera
is nothing gaudy or fancy about it, and
it appeals to many who see It, for, un
like some of the other exhibits, where
tea and biscuits are served free, there
is nothing dispensed here.
more) was drawn by four of the big
gest dray horses. They arched their
necks and pulled valiantly and the
huge wagon groaned and creaked
along over the hard gravel road mak
ing a rut about half an inch deep. And
then, sad to relate, the driver turned
the horses off the road and tfied to
cross the felld. The wagon heaved
a great, sigh and Just sank In the
sand, like a fat man getting Into a
bath tub. The horses could move It
ahout as much as you coud lift a box
that was screwed to the floor.
Gyp, The Twenty Horse-Power Ele
phant.
After the horses had shown that they
were powerless to budge the great
wagon, the elephant was called,
Is a lady elephant about 28 years old
who Is accustomed to lend a hand
when others falj. She had been work
ing with big wagons, pushing them
Into place with her head, since early
morning and she semed rather fa
tigued. She shook her head when she
saw the wagon up to the hubs in sand.
She never refuses help, however, and,
taking a long breath, she leaned her
big '‘nose-guard” which wears while
working up against the back of the
wagon and heaved. Something had to
move. The wagon sank forward
about six Inches. The efforts of Gypt
combined with a crowd of men putting
planks under the wheel* finally got
the wagon out of the soft place, but
still the horses were unable to draw It.
Finally Gyp had to be hitched in front
to pull. It was an Inspiring sight to
see the great beast lean with her en
tire weight of 4.500 pounds against
the traces, and to see the enormous
wagon advance, in spite of Itself,
sinking eight inches Into the heart
breaking *and.
After this Mr. Washburn sent down
to the train and got "the plates”
(sheets of steel four feet square, used
to put under the wheels) and the rest
of the wagons were hauled Into place
more easily.

O’Connor & Schweers.
O’Connor Schweers, “The Paint
Makers,” have a beautiful exhibit. It
is made particularly cheerful by -a
glowing red fire in a grate at one end
of their space in th e building. Tho
fire is so natural that one feels- as if he
would like to go up and warm his
hands.
'Jin- Windsor Springs booth has i
quantity of water on hand, and takes
orders that are to be delivered inside
of the grounds.
The Augusta French Dry Cleaning
Company has a booth in the main
building, where they are advertising
their work.
The Nixon Grocery Company, ns
usual, hsfe one of the most charming
ly appointed exhibits In the building.
To demonstrate the deliciousness of
Tetley’s tea and bread made from
Snow Flake Flour light lunches are
being served the ladies who will drop
in by Mrs. Janies .T. van Dyke and
Mrs. L. Heggie. The booth is deco
rated in white and light green and
should be visited by the ladies espe
cially.
"Serv-us” Booth.
Opposite Nixon's exhibit is the lunch
booth of the ' Phllathea class of the
St. Matthew’s German Lutheran Sun
day school. It is known as "Serv-us”
lunch booth, and is the only place in
the building serving lunches. And they
are delightful. The menu consists of
oyster stew, soups, sandwiches. f>ork
and beans, salads, potato chips, frank
furters. coffee, tea (hot or iced), cocoa,
ice cream and candy. Every*'iing ,s
sold at the most reasonable prices
Everything is os daintily arranged, so
sanitary, so lovely that this booth is
irresistible. You are invited in in
spile of yourself, but you are glad you
went when you taste one of the deli
cious lunches the ladies themselves
prepare and serve.
Among those who serve are Mrs.
Tom Getzen, Misses Louise and Dora
Hains, Frederica and Bertha Lackman,
Beryl Bredenberg, Nell Glanton and
Mildred Whitehead, all members of the
Phllathea.
Mention has been made of the ex
hibit of the Woman's Department,
with its many instructive placards,
through the society columns of The
Herald and mention will also be made
of the Art and Science Department,
which is also located in the main ex
hibit building, through (lie society
columns.
Agricultural Exhibits.
Too muon cannot be said of the ag
ricultural exhibits at the fair, a com
plete exposition of what the farmer of
this section raises out of the s°il,
which exhibits are also found in the
main building.
No description of the splendid crops
that are produced by the farmers in
Georgia and South Carolina, as are
being exemplified at this year’s fair,
will be attempted here. To see them
is to understand them and in this way
onlv can they be truly appreciated.
The exhibits this year are furnished
by Schultz Township Agricultural
Club, Meriwether Club, J. M. West
brook of Beech Island, S. C., and the
Hephzibah Farmers’ Club, ’’the baby,”
only a year of age.
Corn, cotton, hay, garden vegetables,
fruits and everything raised on the
farm around here are all put on exhibi
tion and the appearance of each one
of these agricultural dtsplays is an
argument for the "back to the farm
slogan. »

spent the entire afternoory ..rday
trying to pull it out of the piace where
it sank. The more the engine pulled,
backwards or forwards, the deeper the
wagon worked into the ground. It
was like trying to pull up a lightwood
stump. The wheels of the engine
merely slipped around on the road, or
the rope broke. Gyp was at one time
called for to help move this wagon,
but that Job was too much for her.
Remarkable Work.
The amount which the Midway peo
ple have accomplished in one day and
night is extraordinary. This morning
the ling lines of tents on each side of
the Way looked fairly complete, where
yesterday afternoon there was only
a mass of wagons, men, canvas, ropes,
poles and confusion. For it is not
like a circus which is a flimsy struc
ture erected for one-day stands, but
a veritable village, with merry-go
rounds, ferris wheels, a motordrome,
a trip to the moon, etc., all built of
iron and wood, as carefully built as
If meant to remain permanently.
There are ten separata shows for
which entrance is charged, the great
est of which is the animal show, with
five lions, two lionesses, two lion cub*
six months old that look like 60-
pound kittens, six magniflcenl leo
pards, and four hears, all trained to
do tricks, —to say nothing of Gyp, the
elephant.
There is a fat lady In one of the
tents who weighs 680 pounds, and in
another a freak advertised as The
Birmingham Wonder, two children
which are grown together so that they
only two legs and two arms between
them. It looks like one child with two
heads.
But you had better go and see for
yourself.

$29,089 DAMAGE
SUIT FILED TOES.
Mrs. R. D. Mullin Sues the
Southern Bell T. & T. Co. for
the Loss of Husband’s Mind.
Suit for $25,000.00 was filed with
the clerk of the court this morning
against the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company in the name
of R. D. Mullins, one-time lineman of
said company, by his wife.
On December 15, 1912, Mr. Mullins
was in an automobile belonging to the
defendant company, driven by one
Merrill, an employe of the defendant's
on his way to Wrens, Ga., to attend
to some repair work. As they reached
Davidson’s Crossing, plaintiff claims,
"said automobile became uncontroll
able and ran from one side of the road
to the other and into a ditch, throw
ing petitioner violently to the ground,
striking his head and back violently
against the ground.”
Mr. Mullin was unaware of any seri
ous injury at the time, except that he
was subject to nervousness and head
aches, but ttio following April liis mind
became permanently impaired and lie
was tricken with paralysis, being in
bed six months. Subsequently liis
mind became so impaired that he was
adjudged insane and is now in the
state asylum at Mllledgeville,
Plaintiff claims that this sad result
is directly attributable to the fall from
the automobile for which the defendant
company is responsible. At the time
of the fall Mr. Mullin was earning
$90.00 a month and his earning ca
pacity has been entirely destroyed in
consequence of it. Wherefore his wife,
Airs. R. D. Mullin. as "next friend,” Is
claiming for his damages in the sum
of $25,000.00, through her attorney, Mr.
Isaac S. Peebles.

yet, with nil of the splendid amount
of space at the di- -sal of the offi

this year for space, and next year ar

care for mure live stock.
The management has, in fact, had
to double up this year In order to get
all of the live stock exhibits In. They
have had to put njpre hogs into a pen
than they otherwise would have ami
so great has the live stock exhibit
grown that It has exceeded their fond
est expectations.
The growers of thorough bred hogs,
cattle, sheep, etc., believe that the fair
is one of the very best advertising me

every exhibitor who had live stock at
the fair last, year has done a splendid
business ever since.
Mr. K. O. Templeton, the well known

“A WOMAN’S TRIUMPH”
AT THE STRAND
TOMORROW
Henrietta Croaman Tonight.
Hundreds of people went to see Hen
rletta Crosman In "The Unwelcome
Mrs. Hatch" at The Htrand yesterdav
and las! night ami hundreds of people
who did not go tlien went today and
more are going this evening. The ex
hibition of this remarkable Paramount
Production closes tonight.
It la unquestionably otic of tie
strongest photo-dramas that has ever
been exhibited Iri Augusta. It tells
a story that impresses one in a more
lasting manner through the nieiMum or
the motion picture screen than by
reading any book on the subject.
While Miss Crosman Is supported
by a capable cast, her acting stands
out to itself In many parts of the
picture, where the highest histrionic
art 4s required.
As has been quoted before, It Is a j
photo-production that stirs the pulse,
and grips the heart
The [trices are extremely reasonable i
for a picture of this character.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) another
Paramount Picture, “A Woman’s Tri
umph,” will he presented at The
Htrand.

ami one only has to go to the fair
grounds to be disillusioned if he thtnkß
such cattle as tiie writer attempts to
desAjbe exist only in the minds of
the artists.

of Holstein cattle placed on exhibition
by Mr. J. 1.. Gilchrist, tiie well known
local dairyman. Mr. Gilchrist sent his
Holstein cues to the fair last year and
