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. THIS STUFF MAKES GOOD READING. During the first few weeks of hot weather there comes a rather •'wing time for most people, whether they work fm a salary or (tint for tile pleasure of it. It doesn't make much difference to what class you belong Just so von do good work. Hut on the question of good work, just read what our old .friend, the Hoy erofler, has to say on thi subject: THE TWO KINDS By Elbert Hubhard • "In every business house there are two distinct classes of employees. One wo may rail the Hunch, ami (hose are out for a maximum wage and a minimum service. They nre apt to regard their employer ns their enemy, and in .their spare time they perslHintly knock They* keep had hours, overeat overdrink. ovenUaw their salaries, are "off their feed at least one day In a week. "The other kind get ;heir sleep, take their cold baths, do •belt' Kmeraonlans. join no cliques, and hustle for ihe house. If I were a' it h I would not compete In the twelve-dollar aweek class, lake George Ado. who lilt Indiana ami went to i’htrago In order lo gpt away from mental competition, I’d set the Hunch a pace. 1 would go in the free-for-ali-eloss. I would make myself necessary to the business No matter how "scarce" ,tmes are. there lire a few em ploy ces who are never laid off, nor nre their wages out down These nre the boys who make the wheels go round. Ami it Isn’t Hrnlns that counts most; it is intent. The difier cnee Is tills: the Bunch plot and plan for personal mln lor ease me! a good time, tin other Hud work for the house, and to work for nil is the only wise way to help y ourself. ” GUN TOTING IN ALABAMA On the first dav of this month the ncu law in Albania relative to toting pistols wont Into effect. As st least 50 percent, of nil the murders and murderous nssnlt-. committed tn the South are eharaeahle to t»«e loaded hip pocket, whatever will Abolish or greatly decrease this evil is of gen eral interest hi our state wo have n inn forbidding ihe carrying of con cealed weapons, which is regularly violated and almost a dead letter, anil something more effective ts needed The present legislature has already had up before it one blbll. relating to tho carrying of fire arms, which failed of passage.

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. ■ * When that threatened bootblack strike Is started in New York it will offer st spendid opportunity for active boys to shine as strike-breakers. Thaw has started new proceedings for his release. His persistence will result at last in gaining hint his free dom, and you may safely bet your notion) dollar on that. 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 dividual deposits may he small, thej make for a better cltizeusbip. and for sivater general progress and pros perity . Let Giorgta fall tn line with the progressive movement. From a banking standpoint opr state enjoys an enviable reputation. Her flnanetal institutions are among the soundest In the country, and tt may be urged that our state less than any other stnte n'aVs -neh a low. White this 1* true. It still remains true 'lia* a state guarantee ol hank deposits Is a wise provision, and a law lustUuUng It should he passed. 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- [ lustration of the power of combina tion. ■>«-♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦«. free* « ♦ ♦ * THE MERRY WIDOW HAT •* ♦ ♦ Airships may curry the mnils err- many month*, hut It will Ik* a lon* while h«'- fore tin* females will risk their Merry Widow hat a up in the air.— Jaekeon vtl!« Time* -Union.

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. JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS. There died in Atlanta yesterday a man whose name and fame had spread to the farthest limits of this country. He had won his way into the hearts of the American people be cause of the tender beatings of his own great heart. H e wrote for and of children. His philosophy appealed to young and old. He did for the South what so many brilliant geniuses had failed to do, and that was to es tablish a successful Southern niaga zlne. Others had appealed to the higher intelligence of the people skillfully and well, but their appeals were al ways to the head. Uncle Remus had 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 READ THE WANT ADS IN TO DAY’S HERALD ’ Herald Want Ads are just about the busiest and best little business hustlers that you can find anywhere in a day’s jouruev.
