The same trafficking would he car-; 1 ried on on the return trip Tho nr , tides tal en on board would be sold I in Augusta. Would It Work ? All this may sound a bit Arcadian,| but it is seriously considered by lho j gentleman who talked to The Hdrald ! man, and others >vho have been np-j prised of the scheme. For a long time : the matter has been considered and a| j jot of figuring done in connection with ' it. The party who first ventured the. Idea says he is well acquainted with| persons living between Augusta and j Savannah on the route of the Savan nah river, and could, he believes, build up a good trade with them. Of course such a project would lake, a hit of money, perhaps more than a hit. to get In Augusta. To do this, several must become interested and in terested enough to put tip | some of (heir interest in a financial j way. The, Herald’s informant talked today In - a way that showed he had faith that the river trading idea would "be aj 1 materialisation In less time than a . year. Certain parties Nave been approach ed on the matter and others will be shortly. The Country Merchant. The country menchants would of course raise a slight hick if the scheme t-.orked o. k., bin then, on the other hand they might find it a benefit. The idea of anchoring in mid-stream to save license is a unique idea indeed. Whether such a plan was ever worked |on other rivers, the writer does not . know. The gentleman at the bead of the I plan says he never heard of anyone jelse carrying out or ever attempting a like business enterprise. However, I in the clays before railroads, when the country was sparsely settled, it does ’ not seem unlikely that such may have been done. //ill the plan work? Will it even materialize? That remains to be seen. The writer tells only what he has been informed of the plan as it now is in the minds th jc jkTjatJßT* aa»HsA,isr>.

Bacon, a well known ! young business man of this city, shot himself through the heart this after j noon. He was alone in his efflee and i 'suicide was clearly Intended. Mr. Ba con was wealthy, had traveled In all parts of the world and no cause for his rash deed can he aasigned.” Chappie whistled again, i "Well, I’ll be biowed!’’ he exclaimed. “Thai's the guy what had me to talk to him and give me five when he could n't help it. Wonder if my talk drove him to it ." Those standing about him reading the dispatch shrugged their shoulders and did not answer.
