LET'S MAKE NEXT WEEK A GALA BUSINESS WEEK IN AUGUSTA,
By the end of thla week Auguata will have done a vonderful
amoun' of cleaning up and restoration. Never have the people of An
gus'* worked harder or mor* faithfully or »ocompl(*h<*d greater won
d*rs In the retail and more wealthy resident districts all tracer of
th" flood and freshet are fast disappearing The work of the emergency
relief committee haa alao done wonder* In the submerged dlatrlcta.
By Monday Auguata can and will present a smiling and attractive
front once more to th» world. She ran accommodate and handle the
crowds from the two alalea of Georgia and South Carolina once more
In her shops and on her streets.
The traeea of the flood will all have been swept out and washed
away, and It I* sate to aay that with the attractive ahow windows and
lh< new goods on the counters, the retail stores In the business district
will b» able to handle and care for a» large a crowd of eager buyer*
as ever before.
The llerntd believe* that ft would be a good Idea to make next
week, especially In the retail district, a« far aa possible, a gala busi
ness week for the shoppers of Augusta and surrounding territory.
With the flood and the loss of ttme, and damage and excitement th it
haa attended the work of wiping out. Its traces, business has doubtless,
to a certain extent, suffered. But the way to do business Is for the peo
pie of Augusta to let the people know that her stores ano merchants
are ready once more to cater to and watt upon all the trade that is
offering. I.«t the world know that. Augusta shops are filled with neat
goods, crowded with bargains, that the stores are once more the ffrot
tlest and cleanest to be found an where In the country arid that plenty
of clerks are on hand to answer every demand.
There I* going to be no trouble In Augusta doing a great big busi
ties* till fall But as The Herald has said, the way to Do Business
it to Do Business. When you ara ready for business, lot the people
know It.
fypi'H make next week, starting with Monday, a great gala busi
ness w.-ok for the people of Augusta and for the trade territory In
Carolina and Georgia.
SAVANNAH RIVER MUD.

by the river It supplies the city with
Its drinking water, which chemical
tests have shown to be of purest qual
Ity and which In addition possesses the
peculiar |>ro|wrty of creating In any
one who has drank It for any nonsld
j .Table period a thirst which nothing
i.ise can satisfy, hence causing the re

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
a significant fact that nearly every
growing city In the world, except sea
ports and a few inland cities for the
location of which away from a river
there is a special reason, are located
on a river.
When a city is located on the spot
indicated by nature as the proper site
for the metropolis of the surrounding
country. It Is Idle to speculate on why
It was built there, and lament over
the risks Involved in its locatioa
Galveston Is exposed to the tropical
Gulf gales. Several time* the city
has been struck by them, the last one
almost totail; destroying th" city,
with appalling loss of life. But the
people dldn' move to Mlllen. They
rebuilt their city, because it was lo
cated where a city belonged. They
built the proper protection against the
floods that are certain to come again,
and Galveston continues to grow In'
all that makes a city great.
And so it must be with Augusta.
The city is located just where nature
had designed. Its location Is exposed
to the water of th e river, but against
this proper protection must be made.
And this la being done.
Although the recent flood was a lit
tle higher than the flood of 1888, the
damage done was not near so great
in many respects. In th* former
freshets some of the heaviest losses
were sustained In the large ware
houses above the union depot. Since
that flood they were nelsed eighteen
Inches, and they escaped this flood
without loss. By that former flood
the streets were torn up very much
worse than they are now, because
slnre that time the city has done
much substantia! paving, and all the
streets so paved suffered little Injury.
This shows that it Is easy to provide
against, serious losa.
The heaviest loss In this last flood
was sustained by corporations, on
work* erected since the last flood and
without due regard for possible Hoods.
It Is a dear lesson to them which
they have learned in this school of ex
perience, but in replacing these losseg
It will be don* so that another flood
aa high as the present, which may
come at some time in th e distant fu
ture, will not hurt them.
Augusta Is located in the right
place. The river at her doors may
be subject to spells of rising anger,
but against this the city will safe
guard so that, when they come, they
in»y pass without doing serious harm.
And ao protected, Augusta will grow,
served «by the river against whose
angry moods she has learned to pro
tect herself.
BATTLESHIP FOR BALE.
A con'inuous effort la oeing made
by each of what are called the great
naval power# to keep even In their
naval armament with the others. Eng
land has adopted the policy of keep
ing her naval strength up to equal
the na'al strength of any other two
| powers, her many scattered colonies
I requiring thl*. The United States,
Franc* and Germany come next, with
| nearly equal naval strength, and
j closely following these conies Japan.
Kusaia. since thhe Russo-Jap war,
has fallen from the rank ot a naval
! power.
Between the five naval powers the
present relative rank is being main
tained, When one build* a warship
the other* Immediately do the Rame,
and all the other naval accessorb*
are made to correspond In this way
j wliat may be termed a balance hns
b>‘<*n established, and In calculating
the chances of war the tut acuities of
each country know exactly on wha:
to base their calculations. To build a
modern warship requires several
.'ears. hence the balance that has
been established cannot he suddenly
broken In case of wai. unless the navy
of one country could suddenly be in
creased by purchasing battleships al
ready in commission.
k’or example, our navy and Japan's
are considered to be equal to earn
other hi bf war, the advantage
»e have in the greater number ol
warships hemp offset by the larger
number of points we must defend.
Hits, theoretically, makes our navy
balance Japan’s In case of war be
een the two countries If then
Japan should suddenly buy several
! warship* on the eve of going to war
I with us. she would he superior in
•’aval strength, and would nave th«
advantage in the light to follow.
Would such a thing be possible
Just belore beginning her war whh
Itusala Japan bought two first-class
I cruisers from Chile, w hich destroyed
. the naval balance that had been '*•

tries anti gave Japan the upper hand.

other power*.
Hraxll ts now having built In Km;
i land three groat warships of the
1 Droadnsught type Praxll Is not a
naval power and there Is no re.vs >n
why she ahoulo aspire to become
i one She has no use for these great
1 battle.-mips, and it is an open secret
i that an understanding exists oetween
•Irsit and Japan whereby (trust! will
j sell them to Japan on demand. If
lids should be done, as would be per
j fectly lawful at long as there sms no
. state ol war, Jai au would at once
become immensely superior to us at
tea. And In view of the fact that Ja
pan has done so before, and that
South American countries aeem al
ways ready to sell their battleships
lor a good price—havir.g done so re
peatedly—is not ibis thing to be ex
pected?
To nave first-class warships built,
and sell Ihem to some lighting coun
try on the eve of a threatened war,
for a price much greater than the cost
price, seems to be a custom wi'h
South America countries. It doubt
less pays them well. But in view of
the grave consequences that might
follow such a transaction this should
rot be allowed And since the per
sistent rumor seems well founded
that these Brazilian warships now
building are secretly intended for
Japan, our government should take
t.teps to insure against any such trans
fer ever being made without our con
sent.
The Augusta Flood.
The flood which has overtaken Ati
‘gusta threatens to eclipse anything
■nl the kind in many years. Several
i times in the past few years they have
[been troubled with this same condi
] tion, but. not In as severe a phase as
I now threatens the property and lives
! In the Georgia city.
Augusta is situated in a valley
i around which there are foot hills,
which makes It a matter of impossi-
I biltty for the water from the swollen
'river to take any other course. Con
sequently the whole of the town prop
er, buildings, streets and other things
are inundated with four to six feet
of water.
About seven miles north of Augusta
the river takes a decline of about
three hundred feet and from this
point of vantage there has been erect
ed a canal, through which water has
been carried to utilize for manufac
turing and Industrial purposes.
This canal was reported broken for
a length of fifty feet and water has
been added to the overflow from the
river making thing* doubly danger
ou* In ordinary conditions the wa
ter from the canal can, by means of
a sluice gate, be turned into the river
saving the hankß and keeping the wa
ter from flowing in a torrent direct
ly upon the city. The river was too
high for this to be done and the gates
uave broken.—i nomasvilie Times En
terprise.
Hopeful Augusta.
The Augusta papers come to the
front with smiling faces, Well, that
is the best way to meet trouble or
disaster of any sort. The battle for
restoration, after such ruin as Au
gusta met with by the flood, is half
won when the note of cheer and cour
age Is struck.
The people of Augusta, facing the
situation bravely, have cheerfully
gone to work to clean up their city
and make it as it was before. We
applaud their pluck
A work which should be set on
foot, and which we suppose will en
gage the attention of the arnfy en
gineers whom the national govern
ment will send to Augusta to look
over the situation and report, is the
construction of dikes or levees to
fend the city against future over
flows of the Savannah. If It comes
not within the province of the nation
al government to do the work, then
the Georgia legislature. In conjuno
tion with the city of Augusta, should
take the matter in hand and push it
to completion. It would result in a
great saving of life and property.—

HOW GEORGIA'S INDUSTRIES
ARE EXPANDING.
President J. F. Hanson, of the Ceu
tral of Georgia, in his pamphlet re
port says:
"During the year there were estab
liahed on or adjacent to the llnea of
this company 130 industries, repre
senting 22 classes, with a capita) of
H. 550.900. and employing 4.022 hands;
309.305 fruit trees were planted on
the line during the year and there
was an increase of trees in bearing
of 418,723. The development of the
territory in which the company oper
ates, which has been so rapid during
recent years,, continued during the
first six months of the year, hut was
greatly reduced during the last six
months.
"The business of the company
through the third week of November
was much better than the preceding
year, but beginning the fourth week
of November business fell off to such
an extent that the previous gains
vveiw> lost and the year closed with a
decrease in gross earnings of $4247“

expenditures this year appear as de
ductions from Income If the accounts
were stated on the same basis, the
increase in net earning* of 1112.971
would become a decrease of $211,796.”
The company's Income account has
already been published It showed
gross for the year of $11,668651 and
deficit after charges, rentals and bet
terments of $3.49*.
