Being the possessor of millions In ber own right-, it is hardly possible for Miss Gould to do privately what ah* does so generously and with bo much tact and rare good sense. In stead of ..squandering her millions to buy a foreign title, attached to a worn out roue, who would care nothing for her, and has a contempt in general for everything American except its money, she goes about like a ministering an gel helping the poor and needy, nod above all she comas to the relief of the soldiers who are fighting the battles of her country, the country she holds in honor above social prestige and foreign titles.

The full season juat beginning hold* out the premia© of being one of the most active and progressive that bus iness circles have witnessed in a dec ade. In general trade and '» the financial centres money ia easy and the gold of the world is coming to this country coming to pay trade balances which are in our favor and. also coming to seek investments in American securi ties. The new market* that have been opened to American commerce liy the results of the war promise great things for every manufacturer and a Inrgely Increased foreign trade. In order to meet these demands, American factor ies must run cm full lime and more men must be employed. The demand for labor must be commensurate with the demands for the products of Am erican labor. All these things hold out a bright prospect for the future. It is a pros pect In which Augusta will have her full share of advantage.

Mr. Mllledge Lockhart, la making his way nicely in New York. He has been quite successful there and is encouraged in his desire to further perfect himself In his chosen calling. We reprint today In full a special story by him in The Sunday New York Times. We are afraid our young friend has let his pen slip In so constructing a senteuce aa to permit the statement that ladies of Augusta mingle on Sun day afternoons at Camp Dyer with the wives and sisters of the negro im mune*. But it is a slip of the pen, pure and staple. We know Lockhart in this office. He is too noble, too eblvalric aud too grand a little gentleman to permit even the thought that he se riously says to the Eeast things that are apparently said in The Times' ar ticle. Particularly is his statement re ferred to “picturesquely inexact.'’ The government now realizes that it made a mistake when it did not con fine its call for troops to Pennsylvania, says The Pittsburg Post , WON'T LEAVE TEI AWHILE * ffslyhiH) h te« i • W«9 fts(Mt%»ri rw basts lbs* Ul f*t4V*l ****** a#,|b. • >fo boMßwtt**: doa't bbow aay riOHT OVER A ORAVE.

Atlanta. Oa., Aug. t«.~Cant. John A. Gee will leave the Atlanta and West Point railroad op th* Brat of Septem ber. There ia much curiosity to know who Capt .Gee's successor will he. The officials of the r.wd are silent on this subject «nd It is Impossible to learn anything deßnlte. There wa* a rumor that Mr. Robert T. Pace, the purchas ing ngent of the road, would succeed Captain Gee. but it la emphatically de nied, and Mr Pace soys he likes his present position better. There Is nothing more than specula- Hon about the suggestion and this Is li able to be wide of the marie. One name suggested from «n outside source ss a possibility is that of Mr. \\ r . J. Taylor, who represents the freight department of the road at Montgomery. The trou ble about that rumor is that Mr. Taylor Is nut a passenger man. though an ac complished gentleman and one who se rures ft great deal of business for his rond. Capt. Gee is still out of the city, and it Is reported he is in Washington. FOR AN ARTESIAN WELL. The People of Sylvania are Figuring On One. Sylvania, Ga., Aug. 16.—The citizens of the town held an informal meeting to discuss the question of bonding the town to dig an artesian well. Every, citizen of the town present at the meet ing was in favor of having a well dug and all of them favored issuing bonds to pay for same, but the question of the legality of such action was raised, and a committee composed of the attorneys of the town were appointed to meet and find put ts the town can legally un der its charter issue bends for the pur pose. As soon as they report and if favorable an election will be called for the citizens of the tow ; n to vote on the question. Ml. C.
