The First Of October In Brookhayen.

/ Last Thursday was sunny first
of October. So bright, indeed,
was the autumn sunshine that while
winter millinery was being in
spected with ayidity, fans were
piled industriously in the midst of
the elegant ostrich tips and other
accessories that bespeak a cessa-
tion of the heated term. The
millinery openings were in keep
ing with those of past years, his
tory repeating itself with the wise
experience that each season brings.
At John McGrath & Sons the
scene was expansive and attract
i've, and the hats seemed to sur
pass any of former years. The
highest priced CONNECTION which
made you think all of sudden of
a $40 bill, sold first; and then the
more moderate and reasonable"
affairs, of which there. were many,
followed in close succession.
Music" was furnished by an
Italian Band from New Orleans,
and ''merriment, /" by the delight
ed crowd of sight-seers. The SOU
venirs, breathing of the seashore
and the pyrographer's art as well,
in the form Of pin trays, were ac-
ceptable remembrances of INC
Grath s, Fall. 1903" M. T.
Flood, M. III. Ragsdale, Miss Fan
ME Maxwell and others whose
names we failed to learn, did
themselves and the firm great
credit in the artistic decorations
of the days, while Miss Grief won
confidence and esteem from every
caller.
At the Racket Store, hats were
selling early in the morning and
continued throughout the day.
Mrs. Hamilton's parlors were.
most attractive with the latest in
Fall Millinery. Pretty souvenirs
were given each caller.
At Oliver & Penn's, the ''De
signers and Dressmakers,o Mrs.
Chas. Oliver and Mrs. Chas. Penn,
graciously received their visitors,
at their comfortable and neat
apartments in the Opera House.
These ladies are now ready for the
Fall season and all who know them
will, with confidence and pleasure.
welcome them into the business
arena of the city.
As the morning waned, some of
the sight-seers drifted homeward;
some to the services at the Pres
byterian church, some to Prices
or the Brookhaven Drug Store for
ices, while the Jewish congrega-
tion assembled for their solemn
observance Of Yom Kippur at the.
Synagogue. The day was a siren
uous one and full Of diversified
pleasures and duties.

COLOSSAL STATUE OF COTTON.
Mississippi will Have a Unique and Ar.
tistic Feature at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.

A colossal statue OF King Cotton
will be the most striking feature
of Mississippi's exhibit in the
Palace of Agriculture at the
Worlds Fair at St. Louis.
1t will be the largest statue in
the exposition, and will tower so
feet above the heads of the vis-
itors. His majesty is seated no an
immense throne, and if the breath
of life were to animate the gigan-
tic statue, and he were to arise to
his feet, he would be compelled to
stoop to prevent his head striking
the rafters of the great building,
the cornice line of which is 65 feet
above the foundation.
No modern monarch possesses
sufficiently dignified appearance,
say the Mississippians in charge
of the feature, to adequately rep
resent SO important a subject as
their great Southern States cotton.
crop, SO Mr.. R. H. Henry, the
director of exhibits, caused the
artist to choose for his subject
venerable king of the 10Th
century.
King Cotton's face, hands and
feet will be of wax, and cotton
will form the remainder of the
makeup. A space fifty feet square
has been allotted by the Exposi-
tion management as King Cotton's
domain. His will be an exclusive
monarchy and no passports will be
honored. A strong railing will
define the boundaries of his king
dom and Jefferson Guards will
prevent trespassing. All visitors
may see the King and pay hom-
age, but they may not tread on
his domain, nor pick him, or his
subjects or his kingdom to pieces
for souvenirs.
His majesty sits with dignified
mien on a great throne completely
covered with raw cotton, as white
as snow. The throne will rest on
a pedestral six feet high, built en-
tirely of cotton bales. The
draperies about the throne will be
made from lint from the cotton
gin, dazzling in whiteness, and as
fine in texture as a spiders web.
His crown and sceptre are of cot
ton, and his giant limbs and colos-
sal body are of the same material.
The entire kingdom is covered
with carpet made of pure white
cotton. Real cotton plants will be
installed and a characteristic group
of statuary will occupy a space
before the throne. This group
will consist of a family of ne
groes picking cotton-the father,
mother, son and daughter, and a
little pickaninnie, too small to
toddle, will lie Oh his back on the
downy carpet just as he does on
his native heath in the Sunny
South, These figures will be life
size, and like everything else in
King Cotton's domain will be
made of Mississippi's most staple
product except h eir heads,
hands and feet. These like his
majesty's, will be fashioned in
wax.
This King Cotton feature of
Mississippi's exhibit is an artistic
creation by leading Mexican
waxworker and was designed
mainly to attract attention to the
States display. In the universal
cotton exhibit, under the same
roof, the state commission will
install other exhibits of absorbing
interest. A practical cation gin
will be in operation, looms will
be working and cotton in all its
phases will be shown. Machinery
will be in motion and cotton will
be put through all processes and
converted into fabrics in plain
view Of visitors.
