NEW YORK FASHIONS
New Creations In skirts = Up.tO-Dats
 Designs in BOnnets.

Slowly but surely as the asters and golden rod are turning to brilliant pur- Ile and gold. Autumn fashions are as- sumlng more decided lines. Early the ories are being confirmed or set aside, and rumors are crystalhzing into facts. Jnquestionc bly, simplicity is the chief characteristic Cf the early autumn tall or-made costume. The latest edict of fashion on the skirt question is less trimming. In fact many of the latest models Of gowns for more or less cere- rtonlous wear are dthte devoid of trim ming. aside from plaits or tucls to confine the fuIness just below the waist. A model that has just arrived Is in very full circular form. giving an im- mense flare at bottom and fine plaits that are fully caught lnvislbly, or are stitched on top like tueks, cOnfine the fullness over the hips
 THE NEW PAoUlN SKIRT.
 The newest development in skirts by this great style creator, has four seams front. back and sides. and the four gores are all the same size, cut with the centre on a straight thread of the cloth, which makes all of the edges a little on the bias It is cut cross wise of the cloth, which of course is of double width. and the fold comes at about knee depth There Is a seven inch wide hem, and a cotton cable cord Is attached three inches from the edge. The cable cords come dn white and black only; so 1t Is necessary to dye the white ones the color of the skirt. for they must not be covered; a. silk cover would stiffen them, and prevent the skirt from falling in large soft folds. and whether or not there is any trimming on the skirt, 1t Is indespen- sable to use a Lily Hair Cloth FHounce on the drop skirt to prevent the folds from falhng in around the feet of the wearer.

The principal innovation in the way of shapes Is the bonnet.

NEWTON FARMERS TO DIS
CUSS COTTON SITUATION.
Five Thousand Bales Yet Unmar-
keted I'm the County.

Five Thousand Bales Yet Unmar-
lxeted in the County.
Covington, Ga. Dec. 15.-The farm
ers OF Newton county will meet here
Saturday, to advise with the merchants
and bankers in reference to the cotton
situation.
The leading farmers of Newton coun-
ty and the cotton dealers of Covington
believe that by holding the remainder
OF the cotton crop it will bring 10
cents per pound. The banks have al
ready agreed to advance a reasonable
amount of money on every bale of cot
ton stored i'm the local warehouses. The
merchants will likewise do everything
possible to aid the farmers in holding
their cotton for better prices.
Between eighteen and twenty thou
sand bales have been marketed here
up to date, and it is estimated that
four or five thousand bales are yet in
the hands of the farmers of the county
The matter Of diminishing the cot
ton acreage for 1905 will be discussed,
and definite action taken. Each plant
er will be urged to pledge himself to
decrease the size of his cotton crop a
certain per cent.
On account of the unprecedented cot
ton yield and the good price secured
for the greater portion of the crop, the
farmers of Newton county are in a
most PROSPEROUS condition.

Told Recorder She Was Made to Do
II by Older Girl.
Katie Butler. a diminutive negro
girl years of age, was arraigned be-
fore the Recorder yesterday morning
on the charge of stealing rings from
the fingers of children of Mrs. Rund-
baken.
She was arrested several days ago
by Detective Nose Davis. She said
she had no home and had been living
with an aunt in Liberty lane, but in
quiry at the place she designated
proved if her relatives had lived there
they had departed.
When questioned by the Recorder the
girl admitted she had taken four rings
from the fingers of small children, but
said a larger girl made her do it, She
had one of the rings, which was re-
turned to the owner. She said the
large girl took the other three away
from her. Owing to her youthfulness
and the statement that she had been
forced to steal by a larger girl, she
was discharged.
When asked where she was going as
she was leaving the police station she
said she did not know, but she was
going to try and find her aunt's.

SPORTS HIT HEAVILY
BY SMOOTH PLAYERS,

Once again the creative crook has
started southwark. bringing new ideas
and new plans for fleeing the un-
wary. He struck Savannah several
days ago and already two local bank
rolls have suffered, for the festive
sharp is working where the going is
soft and where the smart ones are the
prey.

that there is something new under the

are concerned, was evidenced two
nights ago when one fat bank roll col
lapsed and another was so emaciated
the following morning that brown pa

wonted rotundity.
The first smart thing the strangers
in town did was to snake" a roulette
wheel. Entering a well-known club
they sent the attendant out in quest
of something. and while he was gone,
pulled out eight of the round cornered
compartment slides on the wheel,
substituted squares corners, just a
fraction higher than the others-and
waited.

AMATEUR UNION
The PROPER THING
AGAINST PROFESSIONALISM.
EXPERIMENTS THIS SEASON DE-
MONsTRATE 1T Is A FAILURE.

Football Never Was and VIII Never
BE a Game for Paid Teams to At
tract With-COllege Spirit of Ri
valry Best Example of the Demand
for Amateur Players on Football
Teams-JaeksOnviIle and Charles
ton Suffer Gate Receipts from Lack
of Local Interest.
With sufficient number of games
already played this season in Jackson
Vile, Savannah and Charleston, the
question of professionalism in football
has practically worked it's own solu-
ton in the cases of Charleston and
Jacksonville.
1t has not been attempted in Sa-
vannah, but sufficient proof is furnish
ed in the financial circumstances of
the Athletic Associations in the sis
ter cities that Savannah people and
Savannah football enthusiasts go out
to the park to root for Savannah play
ers and not for hired athletes.
Savannah's success with home tall
ent has brought matters to the present
state, and unless some positive stand
is taken in the way of establishing
an amateur athletic union between the
cities which are now fighting for the
football supremacy it is to see the
end of the annual games between the
three cities.
Home Spirit Means Much.
The spirits of the supporters of the
game in Jacksonville and in Charles
ton is highly commendable, but the
same amount of effort and money de-
voted to the development of a team
made up of home boys who have sis
tiers, brothers and relatives interested
in their playing on the team. to boost
along the home spirit will make the
game far more attractive in all of the
cities, and eliminate much of the
roughness and squa billing which has
been too apparent in games already
played this season.
At one game here Savannah turned
out more people than the total num-
Der which attended all games played
so far this season in either Jackson
vile or Charleston. and it is safe to
PlCdiSL that Oll CuIlSlIildS anu new
Year Bolton Street Park will not be
able to hold the crowds.
Not Love of Football.
This intense interest manifested in
the game here is not for the mere love
of football. There will be hundreds
of spectators there who will not know
who has won when the game is finish
ed, but they know the members of the
team and they have the Savannah
spirit and as soon as they are told that
Savannahs team has done something
worthy of commentator they will
shout with the loudest.
Where is there a man on Jackson
vile or Charleston's line up whose
home is not in the city on whose team
he plays, that holds the admiration
and confidence that Harris Cope, Way
mon Harmon, Joe ROssiter. doe Black,
Lansberg, Sullivan and every man
who will wear the Blue and White on
New Years, inspires in Savannah?
1t is too late this season to enter into
a three cornered agreement to bar
professionalism in the annual games,
but this is a matter which should re-
ceive the attention of the Savannah
Athletic Association next year.
