Moore & Sims
Purchase Cattle
The many visitors to the great Geor
gia-Carolina fair last week will no doubt
recall the two large steers that were
shown in the livestock building as hav
ing been purchased by Messrs. Moore &
Sims, the progressive Broad street meat
dealers. They were unquestionably the
finest specimens of beef cattle seen in
Augusta in a long time, : nd this enter
prising firm was not slow in seeing in
them the highest grade of meat that
could be had. and In consequence paid
a good sum for them that their patrons
might be served with the best fresh
meats obtainable. These steers will
t»e slaughtered and sold by Messrs.
Moore & Sims. They are but a fair
specimen of the character of cattle that
are bought and butchered by this firm.
Their meats are all home-killed and
their patrons can always depend upon
getting the best when ordering from
them, whether in person or over the
phone. The thousands of customers
who are daily patrons of this up-to-date
and courteous firm have found that they
can depend upon getting the finest qual
ity of fresh meats at all times, and de
liveries are made promptly. There is
never anything in the fresh meat line
that cannot be had at Moore & Sima.
THE POULTRY EXHIBIT
Rhode Island Reds Exhibited
By Sam B. Mitchell, of
Sumter, S. 0.
At no previous fair held In Augusta
has the exhibit of poultry been superior,
&c more interesting, than the 1914 fair,
which closed last night for the season.
Thousands of birds were entered to com
pete for the prizes and blue ribbon hon
ors. Exhibits were sent in from many
points in the South, as well as some of
the western states. They were indeed
a beautiful collection, every breed being
representd and almost, every variety of
domestic fowl shown, each and every
exhibitor being hopeful of outclassing
his competitor. But all could not win
the trophies, that was certain. In the
vast collection, or exhibit, none inter
ested the visitors mor*», possibly, than
the single comb Rhode Island Reds own
ed, raised and entered by Mr. Pam. B.
Mitchell, breeder, of Burnt***, S. C. Mr.
Mitchell devotes his time to the raising
of fids superior breed of fowl, known
as the “Calloway” strain. They are
prefect specimens in every respect, pos
sessing the right color and shape, with
bla«k markings 1n wings and tall that Is
so much admired by those who know the
better str-iin from the mongrel. Mr.
Mlt'Hgli does not attempt to miss a va
riety of breeds, realizing that he could
not give his patrons a pure strain, hence
you would find in his yards nothing but
the single comb Rhode Island Red.
Therefore he s never fearful that they
will l»e crossed, or th*- bredo mixed The
single comb Rhode Island Red is con
sidered to be the finest domestic fowl;
they are hardy and excellent layers
while they grow to a size that Is most
desired for all purposes.
Mr. stated that he could sup
ply a limbed number of egg* for
hatching at the reasonable price of $2.50
for thirteen. Kggs from hens mated to
“Humter.” ate higher In price, being $5
and $lO for thirteen. No eggs are prom
ised earlier than December Ist, as the
present orders wll’ consume the supply
to that time He Also lias several
beautiful pullets and cockerels for sale
at attracive prices. If you are Infer
ested In getting the purest strain of
poultry to he had anywhere, write Mr.
Mitchell and he will give any Informa
tion desired. He was awarded a num
ber of prizes on hi* exhibit at the fair
$ nd hi* birds were greatly admired by
all who saw them.

A. J. MAUD
FELL IN ILL
FATAL INJURY
Well Known Farmer’s Spinal
Column Broken When Rope
on Which He was Going Down
to Rescue Son Parted---Was
Installing Gasoline Pump.
Mr. A. J. Grimaud, a farmer, living
near the city, will be brought to the
hospital this morning with a fractur
ed spinal column, sustained yester
day afternoon on his place while at
tempting to rescue his son who had
accidentally fallen into a well in
which he was working.
The two Grimauds were installing
a small pipe in a well for the purpose
of pumping water with a gasoline en
gine. The younger Grimaud was
working down in the well, approxi
mately twelve feet from the water and
while connecting a section of the pope
in some way slipped, falling into the
water below.
A rope hung from the side of the
well. The father believing that the
water was deep and that the young
man would soon drown, lost no time
in making an effort to let himself
down the rope into the well. As he
attempted to descend, the rope snap
ped and he fell thirty feet to the bot
tom, landing on the body of his son
who was partially submerged. The
father suffered the more serious in
juries while the younger Grimaud was
bruised somewhat.
Hands on the farm came to the as
sistance of the two men and they were
pulled to the surface.
Dr. A. C. Wade was called in and
stated last night that the chances for
Mr. A. J. Grimaud’s recovery were
slight.

RECEIVER NAMED
FOR FAIR ASS’N
Considered Best Thing to Do
Under Present Conditions.
Believed Will Be Only Tem
porary.
At. the request of the Georgia-Oaro
lina Fair Association officials Judge
Henry C. Hammond yesterday appoint
ed a temporary receiver for the fair as
sociation. It was explained that this
action was taken for the best inter
ests of the fair association with tho
present financial stress. It is believd
by friends of the fair association that
it will be put on its feet again within
a short time and be better prepared to
put on a fair next year than ever lie
fore.
The fair association had expected to
make good on the present fair, hut tho
gate receipts were disappointing and on
the final day, Friday, the rain kept the
attendance down to such an extent that
instead of getting in between $1,500 and
$2,000 only a very small sum was real
ibed. Mr. Jos. IT. Jackson was named
temporary receiver.
On Wednesday of the fair the Tx>m
bard IVon Works attache** the gate re
ceipts for an account which was owed
this concern from last year. This was
followed by a garnishment of the as
sociation's bank account by receiver
of the Irish American Bank. Thus the
finances of the association were put in
such condition that it was deemed wise
by those interested to protect, the as
sets of the association by asking for a
temporary receiver. The belief is ex
lAesscd that the receivership will be
only temporary and that within a few
weeks the fair association’s affairs will
be satisfactorily straightened out.
The fair will undoubtedly be put on
its feet with the solid backing of the
people of Augusta.
The association was organized nine
years ago with a capital stock of $25,-
■OOO. It has an authorized bond issue
of $50,000 with only $35,000 sold. The
association has over On acres of land
with all of the fair buildings as assets.
The land is very valuable.

0. OF VIRGINIA
CRUSHED GA.
With a Well Diversified Attack
Georgians Were Overwhelmed
By the Score of 28 to 0.
Charlottesville, Va.—With a well
diversified attack the University of
Virginia overwhelmed the University
of Georgia football team here today,
28 to 0.
The Virginians played a, whirlwind
game from the start. Only once, at
the beginning of tho third period, was
Georgia able to gain ground with any
consistency and then, when a touch
down looked imminent, the Virginians
strengthened and held their opponents
safe. Kaln fell continuously during
the game, and the field was ankle
deep In mud.
Played Stellar Game.
Captain Mater played a stellar
game, getting credit for every point,
scored by Virginia. He went, through
the Georgia line for four touchdowns,
kicked two goals from touchdowns
and made a safety. His terrific lino
plunging also was responsible for
much of the territory gained by tho
Virginians, and his heady strategy
many times outwitted the visitors.
Gooch, the Virginia quarterback, also
played brilliantly, skirting Georgia’s
ends repeatedly for long gains.
Gaptaln Padd.fck and Broyles -were
Georgia's best ground-gainers, but on
the defensive the visitors were help
less.

Cadets Will Stack Up Against
These Lads Next Saturday at
Warren Park---Keen Rivalry
Exists.
The next name on th e Richmond
Academy schedule will be played Satur
day at Warren Park, the Savannah High
team being the enemy on thiH occasion.
The announcement will provoke a great
ileal of interest among those who fol
lowed the fortunes of the local team laxt
year. It will he recalled that the 1913
game between these two aggregations
was the hardest fought and most close
ly contested of any gridiron batile
staged at Warren Park In tlm past sev
eral years. The final score was 8-7 in
favor of tha Savannah eleven.
The two teams stack up about the
same In weight. Both depend chiefly
upon open formations for gains, which
means a game moat interesting to the
spectators. The Savannah team return
ed practically all of their gquad of last
year and have the same coach. This
means that the team should he a great
deal stronger. The Academy team Is
easily 50 per cent stronger than at this
time last year and arc confident that
this will he a glorious opportunity to
wipe out the stain of defeat.
Phlipot Bruised.
