Today’s Stock Market
By T. C SHOTWELL
NEW YORK. —Stocks were very irregular in the early trading to
day. Thomas W. Lawson was busy in Smelters and Reading Both
those stocks made sharp advances at first, but quickly sold off. Trading
in them was very heavy. C. P. advanced in spite of heavy losses in the
Vancouver fire.
A report that the New York Central would reduce its dividend In
order to escape prosecution by the public service commission on the
charge of paying dividends out of capital aroused some bearish senti
ment. It Is known that the road Is not earning its fixed charges at pres
ent.
On the curb market. Bay State Gas was still the feature with the
Guggenheim shares fairly active.
In the cotton market there was a vigorous bear raid that carried
October option from 10.42 down to 10.27. A partial recovery followed
this.
Americans are dull in London.
The fact that railroad presidents who have been planning an in
crease in freight rates have decided to take no action until after the
election, has done tremendous damage, not (Wily to the hull campaign in
Wall street, but to the prosperity movement in general. Their action is
taken to mean that all talk of Improving business Just now is purely
political.

It was a big, a generous, and a
beautiful thought that prompted Mr.
E. R Honk to give the children of
the Orphan Asylum a pleasure that
they had never before had come Into
their little lives, —an automobile ride
through the city and around the sur
rounding country, with Its perfect
roads. it was equally lovely and
thyughtful of Mr. Turner Howard to
add so much to the delightful outing
by asking the children to the Savoy
as his guests, and It is a toss-up,
since the affair was first announced,
as to which has most engaged the
attention of the eighty or more chil
dren that were out, —the ride or the
indecision of ihe young minds, that
have never as yet had a more mo
mentous question to decide, than the
one wnich confronted them—what
they should take when they got to
the Savoy. This latter was settled
for them in the most satisfactory
manner by Mr. Howard, who, with his
usual forethought and to facilitate
matters and let them get the perfect
enjoyment ot the ride, served all the
little guests with chocolate-tips, and
had a concensus of the orders of the
childrn been taken, it would have
developed that ninety-nine per oent
bad already solved the problem, and
chocolate-tips were what they all
wanted.
The machines, big arid little, lined
up in the Asylum yard promptly on
time, the absence of the gun, which
was screened by accommodating
clouds, adding much to the pleasure
and comfort of the outing, and the
merry happy throng of little folk
piled Into the cars amid the most
joyous of laughter, for this wns the
first time that any of them had ever
enjoyed the delightful sensation of
riding in a "horse-leas carriage."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
There was a nottcable absence ot
pusning and crowding, so usual with
children, and so systematically had
everything been planned, that in less
time than It. tikes to tell it, the chil
dren ami the home staff of Asylum of
ficers, were comfortably esconced In
the roomy machines and the antici
pated treat materialised. The pro
cession ot twenty-three cars was led
by Mr. Percy Uurum In his big ma
chine, that sped noiselessly along, the
very poetry of motion. There wus
;he fluttering of innumerable flags,
joyously clutched in the llttlu hands,
there was the merry, gludsoruu laugh
ter of the happy, lighted hearted chil
dren, and there was a general holi
day aspect that appealed to every
one. Away they sped down Fifteenth
street to Broad, where they circled
the Momwnent and lined up In front
of the Albion, where Mr. Pelot awaited
them on the root garden with his
camera. picture was taken and the
camera A picture was taken and
the visit to the Hnvov was made and
the delicious ices and cakes oujoyed.
There was a general out-put of the
cltlsens to watch the happy little
children that were so enjoying the
ride Through all the streets, from
sll the sidewalks, from every plaar.a
and from the nurses and children on
the greens there was u joyous waving
ol handkerchiefs, the lookers-on seem
ed to enjoy It almost as much as did
the children, then and even on
through the country everybody Beam
ed to enter into the spirit of the ride
and gave the glad hand as they pass
ed.
Th’e procession re-formed at the
Savoy moved swiftly down Broad,
through Elbert to Greene, and up
Greene under the arching foliage of
the stately and beautiful trees, the
rhymic motion and (he bussing of the
pCrTrci machinery keeping time to the
joyous beating of the happy little
hearts that, were so enjoying the trip.
Over the high bridge, out through
Woodlawn and Hafrisonvllle aud op
to the Mlllcdgevllle road, the long
train swept, moving Bwtltjy between
great fields of fresh cut hay with its
deliciously Invigorating fragrance,
htrough hedges of feathery golden
rod, with Its pungent spicy scent, sug
gesting an early fall, across the
Whelesß road to Monte Sano, and
from there to the Hill, down Walton
Way and back to the Asylum, where
the children were deposited, and Ilk?
wind-blown, sleepy little flowers, but
oh! So blissfully happy, they in
their dreams last nlghi lived over
again and again the Ideally beautiful
afternoon made possible for them
through the kindness of Mr. Hook and
Mr. Howard.

A Single Dollar by Itself
seems a trifle and yet it Is the collective effect of many single dollars
spent that holds so many young men down to the dead level of mediocrity,
and the collective power of many single dollars saved In this Bank that
lifts others to success. The man who despises the single dollar seldom
has the opportunity to command a thousand.
