THE DEATH OF "UNCLE REMUS.”
Mr. Joel Chandler Harris, ’” t’ncle Remus,’ is dead. This infor
mation was received with sadness yesterday morning, not only In this
"ate and the Southland, but throughout the country and wherever the
English language is read.
Mr. Harris was one of the best known and most admired writers
of the present time, occupying a field In literature peculiarly his own
As the writer of the "Cncle Remus’’ stories he has brought pleasure to
c hild readers greater than any other writer since Grimm’s Fairy Tales
were written; and greater than those were T’ncle Remus’ stories, because
they appealed to adults as well in the correct delineation they mad-;
and Ihe insight they afforded of negro character and Southern planta
tion life.
Aa a dialect writer Mr. Harris, although in a greatly differing
field, ranks as the equal of Robert Burns, and nothing more highly corn
mendatory Than that could he said of it Dialect writing is a most dif
ficult art, assayed by many and successfully accomplished only by few.
Of those few was ’’Uncle Remus." His negro dialect w-as natural, not
strained and grotesque as Is usually the case, but. Instantly recognized
as true to nature by the reader competent to Judge. Ajad the same ap
plies to the text of hill stories. It is because they are so natural that
they appeal to Ihe heart.
Mr. Harris belonged to that class of writers, which has numbered
in It so many of the best, who graduated from the case after having be
gun as printer's devil As a country lad. he entered a prlntshop, with
only the education afforded by the old field school of a bjrilf century
ago, and while sticking type he learned that command of language
which has made him famous. While yet a young man he filled succes
sively tne most important positions on great papers, and then it was his
good for turn to find employment »n the Atlanta Constitution, which
more than any other Southern paper has developed distinctive and emin
ent Southern literary genius. Tt was while employed on the Constitu
tion, some thirty years ago, that Mr. Harris discovered the bent of
his genius, and devoted himself almost exclusively to the class of writ
ing which has brought him fame and wealth. His connection with that
paper was continued until two years ago, when he established the Un
cle Remus Magazine, which has already become the most widely known
and read of all Southern periodicals.
Yet in the prime of life he has been called to rest from his labor,
which to him was a labor of love Modest and retiring In his nature,
and living in semi seclusion. It was not generally known by bis host-of
readers that their favorite author was 111. But for several months ha
had been -falling In health, although it was not betrayed in a single line,
of his ever cheerful writing. Suddenly his illness assumed a more*
serious form and In a few days brought; tho end.
In his death the South has lost one of its most famous men, and
the field of literature one who gained the greatest distinction and
most general approbation.
NO MORE WORTHY CAUSE EVER APPEALED FOR AID TO THOSE
. WHO CAN GIVE,
A fund Is now being raised to supply the means for furnishing
fresh milk and ice to parents who have infant, children, and especially
to those who have sirl- babies, and who are unable to supply those
necessliie: themselves. Many good people have responded to this rail
Tor aid, and enough haa been contributed to begin this distribution. The
three most trying summer months are ahead of us, and git least SIOO
more is needed to carry on this contemplated relief work until it shall
he no longer necessary. A more deserving cause never anpeiled for
sympathy and aid to any people. Who would not love to contribute to
II? .
A bottle of milk and a small block ol ice are such little things that
the thought may (tome that the parents of these babies should supply
It themselves. Those who tire comfortably fixed, who have an income
sufficient for all their needs, may not be able fully to understand how
such small things as a bottle of fresh milk and a piece of ice can be
beyond the reach of any one; and yet It Is true that there are people,
and good. d> serving people at that, who ar» so circumstanced For
tunately. there are not many so Hardly situated In our city, but* every
oil' hi them and Augusta is not exempt. There are families lu which
there may perhaps he only one bread-winner who possibly has him
self been 111, or placed where he could earn but little, and there are
ail the fuinlly expenses to he met out of such a meagre Income. Think
of having to pay rent, buy food and clothing tor a family of several
small children, besides all other necessary expenses, out of an Income
of eight dollars per week or loss—and the<-e are such fam'ilies in Au
gusta and then figure out, if you can, where such luxuries (and in
the case of puny babies they are necessities) as fresh milk and ice are
to come from?
And think of the babies. Have you at your home hearty, well
nourished IMtie tots who are the joy of your household, then in your
heart thunk (lod for this bi-at of all Ills gifts—and think of the poor
Utile babies, ailing, suffering and pining away their little lives for
the want of those necessities. Have yon no little ones in your home,
think of these suffering little ones Just the same. Think of them as you
spend money for pleasure, ns you spend for one cooling drink for your
self and your friends the price which would supply at least one of
these suffering little ones with milk and lee for an entire week. Think
of the Joy ii would give to Its parents, who love their child ns dearly as
a price may love his children, to be nine to nourish tt hack to infant
strength. And think of the rich promise: "Inasmuch as ve have done
ll unto at bast one of these ye have done it unto me."
Ihe summer months are the most fatal to child life, and it is the
children or the poor who are mostly the victims, because they lark
these necessities. It is cruel to see the little babes condemned to such
a fate. II is heartrending to see one of those little kufferers, pining
awa\ when so little would supply Its wants. Who would not gladly
contribute to this can bo?
Th*‘ mid era of The Herald are familiar with the scope of the rr
lief work ;hat is proposal, and the plan of distribution ilint- has been
adopted. Every penny that is contributed to this cause will he applied
as Intended, where ll will do the most good. The total amount thnt is
required ts not large, and nobody who can give should let this oppor
tunity pass without eontrltutlng In response to this appeal.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
THE STORY OF A 3USINES3 SUC
CESS HERE IN AUGUSTA.
Eit ("where in The Herald today will
Jvtfourd a very interesting story of
the great success that one of the 1 n
■rprising merchant firm of this city
las achieved. And this too in the
face of the fact that for some time,
the knocker and the croaker and the
timid have cried hard times.
The Herald believes that Augusta
has suffered less during the so-called
panic than any other southern city—
we don’t, believe that Augusta would
have suffered at all save for the fact
that the hanks which control the
money supply all over the country for
business needs for some time shut
down on all new loans. As a result,
the banks and the trust compainies
of this country, we are told today,
have more actual money on hand
>han ever before in the history of this
country. The hanks can’t keep this
money always locked up in their
vaults. They must put it to work, or
if they won’t do this, then the peo
ple who are putting this money in
the banks, will themselves take it
out and start it once more in the
channels of trade and manufacturing.
But we want you to read the story
of tho successful work of the firm of
Mullarky & Sullivan in modern mer
chandising right here in Augusta, and
that too in the face of so-called hard
times. The Herald has a double in
terest in this story—the general In
terest that The Herald feels ir. the
community and the public and in the
work of this firm which has made
such a success possible and a par
ticular and personal Interest from the
fact (hat The Herald’s advertising
columns were chosen and solely and
exclusively used by this firm In the
great sale of the Coskerq stock that
they bought and opened to the pub
lic as purchasers.
What this enterprising firm has
done and done well and that too at.
a time when some of our people were
to shrrilu shrdlu shrdlu shrdlu shr
feeling blue and scared Is an inc-m
ttve to the rest of our people who un
willing and ready to seize these op
pcrlu.cities for the future. The oppor
tunity is here almost, every day In
the year and tt is up to our people
to grasp and improve them by mod
ern business methods. There is no
doubt of the splendid solidity of this
old town or of its quick appreciation
of enterprise and proper publicity.

STATE GUARANTEE OF BANK DF.
POSITS.
Tho ex 'mple set by Oklahoma in
its state guarantee of bank deposits
is being followed by "other states.
Mr. Bryan is known to favor a law
providing for tho fed« ral government
guaranteeing bank deposits, and tn
our own legislature a bill Is to be In
troduced following closely upon the
lines of the Oklahoma law.
That such a law would do great
good cannot be questioned. It would
increase the money volume In cir
culation to a considerable degree, and
It would prevent, by removing the
cause for it, runs upon banks and
consequent interruption of the reg
ular order of business.
Hon. Geo. W. Deen, of Wayeross,
Oa., state senator from the fifth dis
trict, who is a banker, being vice
president of the First National hank
of Wayeross, and also president of
the state bank at Nloholis, is at work
on a bill, which he will introduce in
a few days providing for a guaran
tee of bank deposits in Georgia—
both state and national —by the levy
and collection of a (ax by the state.
If tho measure becomes a law it will
be mandatory upon the state hanks,
and Senator Deen believes that this
fact will cause ihe nalionnl banks to
voluntarily come under the statue.
With the lesson of the last eight
months before them, and the experi
ence of other states, our lawmakers
will probably see the wisdom of such
a law and pass it.
During the height of the panic the
papers teemed with stories of losses
met by persons who afraid of put
ting their money tn the hanks, were
trying to be thefr own hankers at
home. Many had their money stolen,
some lost ft by fire, some lost it In
other ways. .One man. who had
buried his money in hts hog-iot as the
safest spot he cohld think of, found
an old sow chewing up his sTeen
backs which she had rooted up out.
ol he ground. There were thousands
of people who hoarded their money
at home. ,at the very time when the
country needed all Its money in eir
cttlstion most. In far:, it is now gen
erally conceded that all there really
was ot ihe panic that was hurtful to
legitimate business interests result
<-d from this private hoarding of
money.
And this call only tie charged to
the appn-hen-ion felt about the
banks. It bank deposits were guar
anteed by the government there
would be no each apprehension. No
monei would 1' • p hatch- hoarded,
and all Ihe m* nev -f ihe country
would be In practical circulation ail
the time. This would be one good re
sult that would follow the adoption
of tills principle.
And this would lead to another.
Hank drpoßlia, and especially savings
banks deposits, encourage thrift. The
world over, the thriftiest people are
those who have umong them the
’argost per rentage of savings banks
depositors. Though manv of such in

Some Local Geographical Sub-Divisions
Not Found in Text Books
P. c.
The First ward of Augusta, or that
part of the city lying below Centre
street, is known generally by the
name of P. G. Ask a resident of that
favored locality what the initials P.
G. stand for. and he will smile be
nignly and tell you: "Pearly Gates’’
And this is true; but P.T}„ in the ab
breviated expression as it is used for
the common name for the First ward,
does not stand for Pearly Gates.
The name did not, originally apply
to the entire ward. In fact, it was
given before the city was divided
into wards, and when, instead of the
present compactly built streets, that
portion of the city consisted of de
tached cluster of houses. This was
so far back that no one now living
remembers the time.
However, tradition has it that in
those far-away days the lower part
of this ward, immediately on the
bank of the river, was occupied by
fishermen. | They belonged to that
happy-go-lucky class of early set
tlers who, like the Indians whom they
succeeded, held work in supreme dis
dain. They lived by fishing, princi
pally in cheaply constructed houses or
rather cabins on this highest knoll
on the bank, selling what of their
catch they could in the town. As
this was before the days of the meat
trust, with cattle roaming the woods
and game abundant, it may well be
Imagined that these fishermen piled
up no fortunes. There was only one
season of the year when they were
real busy, and life to them was real
ly worth the living.
That was the shad season. Ths
Savannah river was formerly famous
KITCHEN ECONOMY.
A young woman in New York has
started an institution which is begin
ning to attract attention and much
favorable comment. It Is a place
where a good wholesome meal can
he bought for five cents.
Th e hare suggestion of such a
thing will provoke a smile from al
most everyone who hears it made.
The cost of living is high, because
the price of everything that is cooked
is high. The price of meat has been
advanced until the subject has be
come a standing Joke, and almost
everything used in the kitchen has
kept pace nearly if not quite with the
advance in the price of meat. At the
average restaurant a hungry man
cannot for 25 cents get enough din
ner to satisfy his hunger, and he
pays 10 cents for a cup of coffee and
a tiny sandwich. The housewife
knows only too well how much it
costs to provide a dinner, and accus
tomed to paying five cents for a “soup
hunch," just to provide the season
ing for the soup, she may be expect
ed to look incredulous when told of a
good meal for five cents.
Yet *hat is what a young woman
in New York is doing.
To begin with, her work is not a
j work of charity, but it is business.
There are In New York thousands of
men and women of limited incomes
and more or less steadily at work, to
whom cheap living is a boon, and who
could be expected to patronize an es
tablishment which supplio"! cheap
meals. And this applies to all cities,
more or less, as the population Is |
congested. Perhaps this young wo-1
man had read of Duval, the Pasi
butcher, who began by cooking uj
the scraps of meat in his shop into
good soup, which he sold for three
cents a bowl with a slice of bread,
and out of this developed the famous
cheap kitchens out of which he
amassed a fortune of twenty millions
of franks. At any rate, she determ
ined to establish a dinner depot,
[Where a good, .substantial dinner
, could be bought for five cents, Rnd
she has not only done so, but ts mak
ing a great success of It,
Her place is not a restaurant, for
restaurant service would make cheap
ness impossible. The dinners she
sells must be taken away and eaten
elsewhere. These dinners consist of
a meal scientifically prepared and
constitute what is called a “balanced
ration," tho same os the regular ra
tion in the army. It will be a good,
substantia! meat stew one day, corned
beef, cabbage and potatoes anothet.
pea soup the next, and so on. Al
ways a change every day, but only one
kind that day. Obviously, where the
greatest possible economy is sought,
j one i»ot only must be used to avoid
i the waste of many pots,
j Heroin lies the secret of her suc
cess. It Is the waste, caused by try
ing to provide variety for a small
number, that makes the cost of liv
ing so high. Despite the high prices
of provisions, in this kitchen a good,
wholesome meal, in quantity suf
ficient to satisfy a real hungry per
son, prepared by a good cook and out
of strictly first class materials, may
! lie bought for five cents.
It can he done for many combined,
l when it would be impossible for one,
!or for one small family. Another 11-

for Its shau, that finest of all the
river fishes. In the spring of the year
hcv would ascend the river, from the
salt, water, back to their native spawn
ing grounds. They would come in
immense schools, so that they could
be literally pulled in by the boat
loads. Old men who are still living
remember this annual big river as
cension of shads, which now, thanks
to persistent fishing and river dams,
has almost entirely ceased. It was
during this short shad eeason that
the fishermen on the river fared well
It was then that they could sell more
fish than at any other time and for
a better price, since everybody then
wanted to eat shad to be in the
fashion., and they could pickle as
many as they could store away, for
future use. .When the short shad sea
son was over then began the long
season of semi starvation and pre
carious mode of living, which caused
the angtomy of those dwellers in the
fisherman's village to shrink, and
from their gaunt form their settle
ment was mockingly given the name,
which has been handed down to the
present day in the initial form, and
is now applied to the entire First
ward.
The fishermen of old P. G. have
long since passed away, with the
shad upon whom they preyed. The
shanties in which they lived have dis
appeared. Modern buildings now oc
cupy the site, and thrifty workingmen
live in these houses. But the old
name remais, and but a few of the
present residents of P. G. even know
the origin of the name by which their
section is known In popular nomen
clature.

education and Intelligence and heart,
and it was the latter in his writings
which caused so generous a response
from the people at large.
His nature was as gentle as a wo
man’s and nowhere in his writings
did he go out of his way to say that
which would cause him regret or an
other pain. He loved humanity and
appealed to it, before selfishness and
all the other influences which debase
It had touched it; therefore, he wrote
for children.
It is a great pity that therp are so
few Uncle Remuses to appeal to our
better natures, and a greater pity
that our selfish natures deafen our
ears to the voices which w’ould lift
us out of our baser selves.
Tn the beginning of your long sleep
may you hear the voice of centuries
ago, saying: Suffer him to come
uttto Me, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven. t_ j g
