NINE DAYS OF HARD WORK.
In the short time that ha* elapsed since the waters receded from
the atreet*. of Auguaia a vast amount of hard and conscientious work
has been done by th. people of Auguata. The results are already appar
ent on every hand and by the end of the week nearly all signs of tho
flood and freshet will have been done away with in the heart of the
clly last the good work go on In every section of the city.
Alresd, Augusta ha* convinced the people of the country that there
la no (HtV In ihe South tha- haa a finer spirit, a more loyal, energetic
and patriotic people, Augusta has not desired to minimize the loss
and damage and suffering that was caused by the flood to many of our
citizens. It were foolish to do ao. But Augusta haH shown she beat
of spirit, the greatest determination, and the hardest and molt energetic
work in repairing the damage*, relieving ’he suffering and pushing the
work of rleanlng up and rebuilding the stricken portions of the city.
The work that haa already been accomplished, the quick way and
Ihe efficient way In which the situation has been' me' has been a source
of pride arid gratification to all our people, Just, as It has met with
kind words and encouraging comment of the people of ihe whole country.
THE MAGNITUDE OF THE RELIEF WORK.
It la Just possible that even some of our own citizens who have
been busy with their own losses and affairs do not fully realize the
great work that ha been don, «*»• Still remains to be done by the
relief committer- Elsewhere In The Herald will be found reports of
this work a* carried on through the various efficient agencies that have
the matter In charge.
They should be read carefully by every one.
The need has been great both for money, supplies and workers, and
up lo the present time all of those have been furnished by the gener
ous citizens of Augusta, by the action of the city and county authorities,
and lasi but by no means least the help and assistance that has gener
oualy and voluntarily come to Augiis'a from all sides by the people of
varous cities and towns throughout the whole country.
The people of Augusta ran never forget the help that her sister clt
lea und neighboring and nearby towns have rendered her people In this
emergency. U has been voluntarily tendered but gratefully received,
and ha* been of Incalculable help.
The United State* government, through Its special officer, Capt. Hu
guet, has also rendered greatly needed and valuable aid. The work of
the relief committee has been thoroughly systematized and Is being es
flrlcntly administered. It Is too early yei to say Just how high the
figures for this work will mount, but this much the people of Augusta
can feel sure of; the need Is great, the work is being thoroughly and
i-ffiafently done, and for many weeks this work will have to be con
tinued
PROSPECTS FOR A SPLENDID FALL BUSINESS.
It Is safe to say that Augusta has made up Its mind to do a larger
fali business fhl* year than ever before, and there are already many
Indication* that this Is going to tie accomplished. Already. In the re
tail district of the city, the evidences of flood aud freshet have been
wiped out, and, during the coming week. Augusta will do one of the best
retail bualin sn n she has ever done. The flood has undoubtedly rattsed
a great deal of damage hut at the same time It Is going to put In
circulation a great deal of money In Ihe shape of wages and In the
needed and necessary purchases.
In a few weeks cotton will be coming to Augusta In large quant!-
ties, the crop I* several weeks late In tills section, and with the move
ment of the cotton crop fall trade may he said to have started in earnest

In 30 days the canal will he In operation and all the industries
and manufacturing plants of ihe city will once more be running on
full time, many of th.se Industrie* are not dependent on the canal

All told Augusta can look forward to the future with the greatest
hop, and confidence It means hard work, and then more hard work,

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
HIS WORD HIS BOND.
A few day* ago a weary traveler
knocked at the gate of the prison at
Huntsville, Ala., for admission to be
Incarcerated. He was footsore and
: tired, for he had come all the way
t from Tennessee, and had traveled the
last hundred miles on foot.
This man was not a lunatic, but a
j criminal who was redeeming his
■ pledge. His name was Charles Ea
ton. and he was an old one-armed
■ man. He had been convicted of illicit
distilling, and sentenced to a term in
prison. While serving this sentence
he learned that his wife was seriously
111 In their mountain home in Ten
nessee. He begged for permission to
go to see her, which the judge was
disposed to give under the circum
stances, If bond for the prisoner's re
■turn was made. But'this the prisoner
was unable to do, Who would stand
as bondsman for a stranger, old, In
firm and poor, who would probably
hide in the mountains and never re
turn? Then In all seriousness the
prisoner offered to pledge his word
for his return, ar.d the judge accepted
it. Without other bond than his.
pledged word that he would return
to complete his sentence as soon ai !
possible Ihe convict was turned loose, ■
He hastened to his wife and min
istered to her until she had recovered,
aud then he set out for his return to
the prison. The liberty of the moun
tains -was beckoning to him, but he
resolutely set himself against this se
duction. He had pledged his word
and he would redeem it. He started
back to prison. Soon his money gave
out. Nobody would assist an old man
who said he needed help to enable
him to go to prison. People thought
him crazy. And be trudged qver a
hundred miles wearily afoot.
H<- appeared at the prison gate and
re-entered his cell. Ills word had been
hi« bond, and he had redeemed il
Convict though this old man be,
what a lesson his conduct presents!
Damon returned to face his punish
rnent, but It was to save his friend
, who had given himself as hostage,
i This old man returned to punishment]
; simply because he had given his
word. The only cause that moved
him was the high sense of honor
which would not permit him to break
his word w hen once given.
What a world this would bp if all
| men had such regard for the sanctity]
of their pledged faith! How the gen-!
eral standard of manhood would be
elevated if every man's word was his]
bond!
THE GARTER BANK.
More or less Is being said from
tlin e to time by political and financial
speakers and writers about an elastic
currency. Just what an elastic cur
rency Is none of these experts can
explain to the satisfaction of another;
however, for all this, they agre e that
an elastic currency Is a good thing.
And sine- the experts agree on this
the people also do, every nmn having
In mind a currency elastic enough to
permit a good part of it reaching him
In the stretching.
But when an elastic currency may
be a good thing, the same does not
apply to banks. At least not to all
banks founded, or suspended, on ari
elastic principle. This has been dem
onstrated by a young lady in New
York, who did her banking by means
of a garter bank.
This is one of the oldest forms of
hanking In existence. Since time im
memorial the stocking has been a fa
vorite place of deposit for money.
Very often It constitutes a savings
hank at home, and It is said that a
great part of the huge war indemnity
paid by France to Germany In 1870
was supplied from these banks. But
because they are so susceptible to
thp raids of thieves and because sav
ings banks have multplled so greatly
and are so much better, 'the stocking
as a home savings bank is failing into
disuse.
Not so, however, with the stock
ing as a perambulating bank. The
Inconvenience in making a draft upon
it does not seem to militate against
ltd use. Hml many stockings encasing
fair limbs hare their plumpness in
creased by the purse that is snugly
placed therein. With the spirit of
modern progress It seems that some
ladles have Improved on this by car
rying their purses suspended from a
garter. At any rate, this Is what
Miss Frauen* Favnllon, visiting in
New York, did Because latter-day
stocking* tire 100 long to make their
use as itortahlc hanks convenient, or
for other mifflrient reason, she car
rled her money, Jign In bills, tucked
inside nil elastic garter tn the usual
place for garters to be worn.
No doubt this portable, elastte
bank was very convenient because it
kept no banking hours and we.- a*
ways available, and its elastic nature
allowed il to accommodate Itself to
the aniouut of the de|Hi,.it on hand.
But its tusability was forced upon her
w hen suddenly, in the crowded lobby
of a hotel, she felt the elastic give
way For obvious reasons she could
tint make an iu\. 'situation then and
there and when in her room she did
investigate she found her roll of
money gone.
She advertised her loss, and a few
j d*v* later a gentleman returned har
I JS2, which he had found i*ho e,alined
; that a hundred dollar bill was miss
j Ing from the roll which a* returned
tallied with her account except that
] 'here were two one dollar bill* tn
' stead of th* C, and had the man ar
, restad. In court he swore that the
roll was return, d by him a* he found
I It; and (here being no syatem of ac
i counts to verify deposits In a garter
bank the judge ruled that th* charge
1 against him hadn't a leg to stand ou
| and dismissed the case.
! This shows that garter bank* are
a delusion and a snare They may
be elastic but they are unsafe It
may be some tltti* trouble for ladle*
to cart' a rhock book and write
checks but In the end this is far
*af,r with their money In a regular
i bauk than to trust it in a a tucking
| or garter bank.
IN A PROHIBITION STATE.
Georgia is a dry suite. The manu
facture and sale of liquor Is prohi
bited by statute law. The prohibi
tionists of the country point with
I pride -o this state as an example for
1 all other states, where the liquor trsf
] fie has been suppressed and the peo
ple have been freed from the evils
hat are caused by intemperance.
It s°cms strange, then, this story
lhat comes from Bullock county, of
. a woman shooting her husband to end
a drinking orgie in which he was en
gaged with a neighbor. Bullock
county is one of those counties that
were dry before the state prohibition
law was passed. Its people were not
novices, but rather veterans, in the
art of abstinence from intoxicating
drinks Yet it is from one of these
long-dry counties in a new dry state
lhat this story comes.
It all happened far back in the
country, remote from any town, where
] blind tigers seek places for their
lairs. How liquor could be obtained*
j at such a place is not explained. But
j it got there; a jugful of It. Two old
I cronies sat up with it, with the usual
(ffeet of such a sitting. The wife
l of one of them appeared, and at
tempted to break It up by inducing
i her husband to go home with her.
Not he; it would be an unpardon
able breach of the proprieties for a
toper to leave such a place so long
as anything remained In the jug.
Then the wife procured a pistol, and
shot at the jug. Of course she miss
ed it. She tried again, aud this
lime hit her husband. Whether he
suffered as the innocent by-stander or
whether the shot was aimed at him,
with better success than the first,
is not stated But he was shot
through the hand.
That ended the drinking spree
The other fellow staggered off as
last as his unsteady legs could carry
him, and the wife carried her wound
ed husband home, where the doctor
found that it would probably be ne
cessary to amputate his hand.
What a story may be read between
the lines of this recital! This man
was given to drink The wife would
not have resorted to such heroic
measures otherwise. He loved it so
well that while he could obtain it so
cared for nothing else. He neglected
his business and his family. Per
haps he abused them when he re
turned home tanked full of booze.
At any rate it caused suffering at
home. No doubt the wife rejoiced
when th» prohibition law was pass
ed. How pained and indignant she
must have felt when she learned that
her husband was in a meeting with
a lone companion and a jug. That
it led her lo use the pistol shows
how much to her and her children
this jug of whiskey meant.
But what of prohibition, which in
ihe interior of the slate finds men
sitting with a jug of whiskey between
them, trying to drink it dry, while a
woman begs in vain to induce them to
desist?
A PECULIAR POSTHUMOUS PHIL
ANTHROPY.
An old man recently died in Jersey
City, who, by his will, revealed that
he was a philanthropist, and also a
crank, who did his own thinking,
drew his own conclusions and believ
ed his own way the best.
His name was Jeremiah Carrihanne,
and he had no near relatives living.
Since the introduction of automobiles
Ihe old fellow had twice failed to
dodge them successfully, and had
twice been run over and nearly kill
ed. Consequently automobiles were
his pel aversion; and in thinking over
w hat disposition to make of his estate
after his death, as a true philanthro
pist desiring to let it do the greatest
possible good lo mankind, he decided
to bcqueaih it to be applied to the
perfecting of airships.
He had doubtless reasoned it out
lo his own satisfaction that it is the
lightheaded fools who are possessed
with the automobile speed mania, and
that successful airships having been
invented this class of automobilißts
would take to air-sailing, which would
leave the automobiles to steady old
conservatives whose machines could
be easily dodged At any rate, preju
diced against automobiles, he left all
he had lo be devoted to the promotion
of airship building.
His estate was not large, consist
ing principally of a small life insur
ance policy; so his benevolent be
quest will hardly result in storking the
air with flying machines. But even
If It had, the very thing he had in
view In making this disposition of h s
• •state would be frustrated, for, in
stead of lessening the dange'rs of
modern life in a progressive country
airships must necessarily increase
them.
So far ns concerns automobiles,
they have come to stay. New dlscov
orris may cheapen them or at least
reduce the cost of operating them,
which will only increase their use.
They will be used more and more,
and auto dodging Is an accomplish
ment which succeeding generation*
will be compelled to cultivate wheth
er there be airships or not. But with
(lying machines in the air. as well as
latOCßOblkM on th- /urface. it will be
necessary to learn to dodge things
dropping from airships, as well as au.
tomobllc* which are trying to run
over people in the street* and roads.
In hi* posthumous philanthropy
Jeremiah Carrihanne shares the fate
of many other philanthropists who.
thinking they know belter than oth
ers. bequeath the wealth they rannet
ake with them in a way that causes
It to do more harm than good in the
end.

> PRESS COMMENT ON THE
> AUGUSTA FLOOD.
Galveston took steps to protect
herself against floods from the GUlf
by building a great breakwater sev
eral miles in length along her water
front. It was a tremendous undertak
] ing, but it has been successfully ac
l complished. No such vast and expen
j sive problem is presented at Augus
•ta as was that at Galveston, but it
I is apparent that something will have
to be done there for the protection
; of the city, and it will cost a consid
| erable amount of money to do it.
j And the general government should
(come to the assistance of Augusta
] in the matter. —Savannah Morning
News.
The losses by flood and fire in Au
gusta during the recent freshet were
overestimated at first. Instead of $2,-
] 000,000, it is now thought that losses
in the aggregate will not reach more
i than three quarters of a million dol
lars. Things about normal and the
proud city has regained its confidence
and is bravely at work removing all
signs of the greatest flood in her
history.—Hartwell Sun.
While her people are pluckily re
turning to their work with a deter
mination to build up again the ruined
I places and restore the city to nor
! mal conditions, it will be hard for the
city to recover, and progress will be
slow. But we, of course, admire the
pluck and energy they display and
hope that their success will surpass
their own expectations.
It is impossible to give a descrip
tion of the destruction wrought. You
will have to go and see for yourselves
You will then understand something
of the power of rushing waters. But
you will know only a part of the hor
rors of the flood. The sightseer walks
over the battlefield and sees the dead
and dying, and knows something of
the horrors of war, but the soldier
• who stood in the shower of shot and
1 shell, facing death as the crimson tide
of battle rolls around him is the man
who really knows what war is. And
so with the Augusta flood.—McDuffie
Progress.
The people of Georgia and the
whole country sympathize deeply with
the citizens of Augusta in the great
calamity which overtook them in the
flood of last week. It was a most
appalling disaster and the people re
sponded liberally with aid.—Barnes
viile News Gazette.
Relief for Augusta Flood Sufferers.
Edgefield is a very small place and
a very poor place, but we hope Mayor
! May will call a special meeting of
council and citizens for the purpose
of manifesting our interest in the
Augusta flood sufferers, and tender
| ing them our mite towards their re
-1 lief. Heports from Augusta indicate
that there are in the neighborhood of
five thousand cotton mill operatives
and other laborers out of employment
in Augusta, as a result ot the en
forced idleness of many industrial
plants. This condition of affairs will
seriously affect practically every bus
iness interest in the city, and the
speedy application of relief measures
is urgently demanded. The people
of Georgia and South Carolina are
making generous response to Augus
ta's appeals for aid, aud the fund will
1 probably be ample to meet all reas
] unable demands that may be made
upon it.—Edgefield Chronicle.
At Augusta, Ga., the breaking of
the levees on the Savannah rivet
flooded the streets of that city with
] from two to ten feet of water, which
wrecked buildings aud bridges and de
stroyed thousands of dollars' worth
•of property, and many lives were
lost In many instances people are
left in destitution and want which is
iieing supplied from all parts of the
country in the way of donations in
money, provisions aud other neces
saries oT life, from those who are
disposed to contribute to these suffer
j ing people of our state and our sis
ter stales. —Camilla Enterprise.
Thp recent flood in Augusta was ,i
heavy blow to that beautiful and pros
perous city. But Augusta haa shoul
dered her misfortune as true and
loyal citizens should and will come
out of the wreck and ruins a new
and better city.—Montezuma Record.
The great flood in Augusta claim
ed more than twenty-five human
' lives, and the property loss was more
than two million dollars. The dam
! age to the canal and destruction of
the dam has thrown some ten thous
and people temporarily out of employ
ment. and their suffering for the
necessaries of life will have to b
supplied by a generous public until
they are again at work. —LaGrange
Reporter.
The citizens of Augusta have the
sympathy of the whole country in
their flood-stricken condition. The
city will soon be Itself again, though,
as they know how to hustle over in
Georgia.—Dorchester Eagle.
Augusta is measuring up to the de
mands of the occasion in splendid
style in the way she Is rebuilding and
elearing away the dpbris, and at the
same lime caring for the poor and
