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.

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. HOTEL ARRIVALS Hofbrau Hotel. —TV. T. Snillh, Colum bia, R. C.; J. B. fihlbe, Columbia, B.

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. DRILL TEAM FOR KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Captain Jas. Stokes Will Be at the Head of it and There Are 27 Volunteers Already---One Thousand Knights to Gather Here Next May. At a meeting of Goonrla Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar, held Friday night it was derided to have a drill team. Captain James Stokes will be at the head of this team and already 27 have volunteered to Join it. It is believed that recruits will be received rapidly and that a large and well or ganized lea.ni will tie the result. The drill team will participate In the annual meeting of the Georgia Knight Templar which will lie held in Augusta next May There will be at lenst 1,000 Gt rla knights in Au gusta at that time.

Considerable Increase Shown in Parcel Post Business at Augusta People Are Making Use of the Service More Every Day. Re pert, For First Fifteen Days in October Shows 2,000 More Packages Handled This Year Than Last. A splendid In* . °nse 1* the paycel post business done through the Augusta post office is shown in a report just sent to the department headquarters at Wash ington. 'The record shows that during the first fifteen days of October, 1914, two thousand parcels more were handled here than during the first fifteen days of October, 1013. This is a substantial increase and speaks well for the service as far as Au gusta is concerned. Kvery year the postoffice department I requires a report on the amount of SPORTITORIALLY SPOKEN Yale is doing what Jim Jeffries anti 14- n’t do a Veal come back. The Eli’s seem to be considerably among those present in a. football way this year, ami unless all signs point wrong, Yale ought to beat both Harvard and Princeton. “Ought to” and “will” however, are not exactly the same in meaning. You’ll have to slip It to John Mc- Oraw for being the first to nickname the Athletics the “White Elephants.” Cleveland, ”The Sixth City” except In the American League.

In other wards, the Army officials (taking it fVum the Navy officials) are a mighty stubborn and unreasonable lot, and the Navy officials (taking It from the Army officials) are horribly pig headed —and something more. “Ounboat Hmith” remarks a contempt “la a joke fighter.” The “news” is about one year old. 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.

About 473,281 new members have joined tho Alibi Club < or since the Braves did what they did—and the Athletics didn’t do anything. Connie Mack, however, hasn't at tempted to explain how it happened. But give him time to recollect his scattered thoughts. Ami his equilibrium. Now that Wisconsin has decided to row no more in the Poughkeepsie regat ta, we wonder W’ho’ll take its place last place. SHAH Hi IIS.THEA.HI 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. Fortunately the local preps came out of Thursday's game with lit any severe Injuries. Phlipot Is “bunged up" more than any one else but It is believed that he wld round to before Saturday. It is rather remarkable that no one was se riously Injured for every man fought like i tlg»*r against the 175-pound op ponents The fact that they came out In such good condition speaks volume for the vigorous training to which they have voluntarily subjected themselves The town Is ringing with the pflUses of the Academy team, for Its fighting spirit and the knowledge of the game displayed. At the moment, the members are the “pets" of the city—everyone seems to he trying to outdo the other In showing them attention. They were the guests of the Grand Friday evening and on Wednesday evening will be the guests of the Modjeska magament at a boa patty, John Bunny In a baseball picture being the attraction. Augusta has waked up to the fact that we have a real football team right In our midst— the realization means great things for the future of Academy athletics.
