SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, THE SHORT TERM BONIS BETTER TO SELL NOW In View of the Fact That Au gusta Expects to Sell $250,- 000 of Bonds Nov. 12th, the Following From The Bond Buyer of New York Will Be of Interest. In view of the fact that the city of Augusta is contemplating: selling $250,000 of bonds on November 12th the follow ing will no doubt be of interest: “A market for municipal notes that will gTeatly rival the railroad note ..mar ket of the last few years is the prophecy fcfc the near future of a bond dealer In the city who is well known as a spe cialist in municipal bonds/' says The Bond Buyer of New York, and, in elab oration, it continues: “Here is a point that we believe is new. It is well worth the attention of municipal officials as well as bond buyers. Bet every city official carefully consider the issuance of a phort-term bond at 5 or 5% per cent., or even 6 pet* cent., before selling a long-term bond in the present market and burdening present and future gen erations with a high interest charge. When the notes approach maturity, say in 1917 or 3918, the municipality may then be able to refund them with long teftrm bonds at a rate of interest ap proximating the investment basis which existed before the outbreak of war. In the event of their not being able to bet ter themselves in respect to the cost of the capital, a new issue of notes could be issued extending the maturity until the opportunity to borrow' on long-time bonds offered." SPLlifl [NOLI FRIDAY Bad Weather Interfered With Attendance on Last Day---No Doubt One of Best Fairs in This Section This Season. Augusans and people of all over Geor gia and South Carolina have ,lust seen and enjoyed in Augusta no doubt one of the best fairs that has been or will he held In this part of the country this fall. But for the weather conditions Friday, the last day, the great show would have ended with a very large attendance, It Is believed. By Friday many people in the city and country had been told by their friends about the fair and were planning to go. when the inclemency of the weather prevented. As It was, there was a fair sized Crowd at the fair Fri day and Friday night. Between 2 and 6 p. m. the manage ment admitted children to the grounds free of charge, and many young folks took advantage of the liberal offer. There were many hands of the Sibley Mill at the fair Friday, guests of Presi dent Raworth of the mill, and in addi tion employees from the other mills at tended in large numbers, too. Friday was “J-abor Day" at the fair. The Washburn shows formed the mid way this year, and this feature of the fair, as is always the case, was very popular. Hundreds of people made mer ry in the eveniny and by Friday the ground on the midway was well covered with confetti. The poultry show was the most suc cessful from one standpoint at least In the history of the association. It is said that no a single exhibitor this season made a complaint of any kind—some thing considerably out of the ordinary 1n any public exhibition of this character. The livestock show was good, some of the finest stock in this country being exhibited, and all of the exhibits In the main building attracted attention and adnpiratlon from everyone who saw them.

Benedict XV., kneeling fn prayer on the occasion of his coronation In the Vatican and a recent portrait which shows admirably his asceteo and aristocratic, but kindly, face. He is a disciple of Rampollu, and his regime is bound to be markedly different from that of Piux X. Francis Cary, the Catholic author, gives this pen sketch of Benedict XV: "I well remember Monsignor Della Chiesa. For twenty years he was the best known figure of the Vatican, the most frequently invoked authority, the personage who came most in contact with those who had business to transact with the Holy See or with the Ecclesiastical offices of the Vatican. His decision and Ills opinions were considered as direct emanation of the Cardinal Secretary of State, Rampolla. “Physically lll.’* “When I saw him for the first time he at once gace me the Impression of a man physiclally ill—favored but gifted with great intelligence. Short of stature, ascetically thin, with the right shoulder raised above the left, he gave me the impression of being extremely nervous and weak. But when he raised, his head I instinct ively felt that I was in the presence of a man gifted with exceptional intellectual powers and great energy. From the very first he reminded me of the great poet Leopardi. “Benedict XV. has an ample brow of an ivory pallor, surrounded by coallblack hair, black eyes, lively and penetrating, a large mouth with thin lips but full of expression. When beginning a conversation or a ser mon he appears to find his words with difficulty. He has evidently thought them out before expressing them. Wonderful Mind. “But one is Immediately struck with tho truly marvelous lucidity of his mind, with the concision and or der with which he expresses his ideas which assume a special power, impressing themselves deeply in the mind of his hearers. , “When speaking he usually looked you straight in the eyes, and one of his favorite attitudes was to hide his aristocratic hands in his pockets nervously playing with his rosary or some other object. At times he would writhe, as if the intensity of his thoughts gave him physical pains; then ha would raise his eyes to tho ceiling, look at the window or at the furniture and gradually again on his visitor through tho big spectacles which enlarged his pupils.

Many of the dressmakers modify them by having an underskirt beneath which is ns tight as of yore, others are side plotted, having yoi\e effects at the top to lesson the fulness around the waist Coats are made with skirts which are pleated or cut circular, reaching often to the bottom of the dresses. A stun ning model in seal brown duvatyno is brimmed with silk cord embroidery. The coat is long in front with a wide belt or yoke, from which the skirt Is hung. The skirt Is pleated at the back and draped up at the sides. In the back the coat reaches quite below' the knees. In one of the Paris shops ft wonderful smart wrap was shown of heavy, long haired, cream-colored plush with n lin ing of brilliant brocaded crepe.

For the sport's coat or suit, tweeds ure both serviceable and smart. Th* costa to suits ars all lengths from the short -ton und bo ero jackets to long coats reaching to the bottom of th# skirts. Fur collar* and cuffs trim almost all conts and in place of the fur often fur cloth Is used. The cloth so closely re sembles fur that it Is almost impossible to distinguish the difference, except by the feeling. wine-coloved velvet suit was trim med with thick cords of the velvet run ning around the waist, giving a very military effect. A large celvei button, embroidered in fine steel beads, finished each cord, while the large oollar an cuffs were of chinchilla fur. Raccoon fur trimmed a suit of beige p/nne velvet combined with broadcloth. The wide circular skirt was of broad cloth, with flat folds of the same stitch ed on the skirt from waistline to hem. The cutaway coat was of panne velvet with long tails in the back. The trim ming of this coat consisted of a. fine embroidery in blue silk floss. Bolts of fiir on many coats are ex tremely smart. For :i late fall street dress, before the weather demands a heavy wrap, the frock illustrated, with its smart short basque and banded long tunic, is espe cially suitable. The development Is In black broadcloth with braiding on the front, on the cuffs, and in band effect, Around the bottom of the skirt. The oddly shaped h>et worn with this costume is made of black velvet and is (found around with bronse gold braid. This is a becoming and smart finish to ninny of the velvet bats of the season.

The jaunty hat completing this cos tume is a blocked felt hat, trimmed with ostrich plumes having the stems wired to stand up, and the fromls curling about It to lake away the stiffness. The typo of gown widely shown and aptly called the “daguerreotype” style has a quaint, irresistible charm. One such dress of brown silk poplin reminds one distinctly of Civil War pictures. The skiVit is full and has Idas hands that go round and round the figure. With this is shown a coat of velvet, which curves in at the waist and flares at the hips, and buttons straight down the front with bullet shaped buttons. Another stunning dross of this same variety was worn by an unusually fine looking eldoriy woman.

It seems queer that hats, which were very small and afforded no shade to the eyes, while now, with fall and winter approaching, the larger sailors with soft (•rowns are coming rapidiy to the foVe. A novelty for these larger hats is to have them cut In scallops, square or round, and ribbon bound. Naturally military and naval effects will be strong and are evidenced In a stunning admiral's hat.
