TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20 FARMERS, MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS HAVE ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR "Made in Augusta” Exhibit by the Sibley Manufacturing Company is Splendid Demonstra tion of What Local Cotton Mills Are Turning Out. Augusta Merchants Doing Them selves Proud This Year in Displaying Their Wares. All of the Displays in the Main Building Are Popular Feature With Fair Visitors. Rowland & Company is Showing the Farmer 35 Means of Diversifying His Crop. Exhibition of Farm Products This Year a Revelation. Tile exhibits from the merchants, manufacturers, farmers and farmers' clubs and from individuals in domestic art and science, all in the main build ing at the fair, are wonderful—simply amazing. There are few if any people visit 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. One or two of the airships that have 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. The Eight-Ton Wagon. All, that Is. except one The big gest wagon of all. weighing two tons Itself aud containing six tons of Iron, \ The Chcro-Cola Company lias an ex hibit of their goods. 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. » Bank np to the hubs in what was sup posed to be a hard road, ary v '»d to he unloaded. The tractlo’ Sine 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. DEATHS TROt.’T, MU. HENRY D.—Died at his residence in Camak, Ga.., Hunday, in the 63rd year of his age. The funeral aervlce will be conducted from Holy Trinity English Luth eran church tomorrow morning at 11:30 o'clock and *ie interment will follow In the city cemetery. KEEPING IT DARK.

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. LIVE STOCK AT GEORGIA-CAROLINK FI IS A VERY GREAT ATTRACT!

The G«orgia-Carollna fair has one of the -most spacious live stock build inßs of any fair in (he country, and yet, with nil of the splendid amount of space at the di- -sal of the offi cials, they find that they are cramped this year for space, and next year ar rangement n will have to be made to 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 diums they can possibly get. In fact, 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 Blythe, da., hog raiser, has 35 of as fine Berkshire hogs as were ever rais ed. Mr. Templeton Is enthusiastic over the fair as a medium of adver tising. Mr. Ft. D.

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. AUGUSTANS WIN VERDICT IN CAROLINA COURT Messrs. Pierce Bros, and P. C.

C., also has Berkshire hogs. Great Cattle Exhibit, Passing to the cattle, one finds one of the most excellent exhibits that any fair over boasted of anywhere in the South. Tiie eleven short horn cattle of tho Lespedeza Fawns, of Hickory Valley, Tennessee, are such magnificent spe cimens that one expects to see such cattle only on pictures. However, that they are real genuine cattle Is a fact 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. t hen there are the half dozen head 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 ever Htnee he has been receiving or ders for calves. Then, too, there, are the Jersey rat tle from Koseninnt Farm, owned by Mr. M ('. I llllhouhe. of Waynesboro. This Is the first year that Mr. Hill- I'onso lias sent liis cattle to the fair here and it wi)l not be the last. Ho lias nine fine specimens. From the Meadow Crest larms of Greensboro, Ga., there are six head of high class Jersey cattle, while Mr. L. I. Galon of Logoff, K. C„ has the largest ami one of the most attractive exhibits at tho entire fair, IK head of fine Here ford cattle that are among the best specimens of cattle at the entire fair. Mr. Galon also has some Berkshire hogs on exhibition. The Windsor Spring Water has some goats, hogs and sheep that make tip a high class exhibit. Among tho horsea on exhibition are a coll of Mr. Frank Rouse, a colt of Mr.’ Jim Kelly, a colt of Mr. A. R. Blount of Orovatown, a jack owned by Mr. A. G. Jackson, a mule and colt of Mr. Ben Itcese, of Grovel own, and others. O’Gorman of-Augusta, represented the Plaintiff. The ease from start to finish was vigorously contented, the defendant railroad company contending that Mr. Mulligan’s death was the result of h»s own negligence. The Jury found a verdict for Mrs. Mulligan in the sum of ten thousand dollars. “THE MAN OF THE HOUR” Augustans Looking Forward to the Appearance on the Screen Tomorrow at The Grand of Mr. Robert Warwick.

Mr. Warwick will surely please In pictures as he did here years ago when seen in the stage production of this drama.
