FLOOD TRACES FAST DISAPPEAR
ING.
A great transformation was
wrought n the appearance of the
streets last week. So great and art
rapid wa* the change that It seemed
almost to have been the result of
magic, although it wa* only hard
work Now h-t another such week *
work b* put In, with the propitious
w.'.ttb' r conditions that prevail »and
by the nd of thla week nearly all
physical signs of the flood will have
disappeared from our street*.
It I* wonderful to nee what a large
lore* of men can accomplish in a
week by this kind of work. Street
by street the debris and wreckage
was tackled, and the worst of It re
moved, Now the flnlnhlng touches are
being ptlL to this cleaning up pro
cess, In the removal of the liner litter.
Thlti will hrj accomplished during the
week.
The North Augusta bridge will also
have been repaired, iiy next Sunday
the trolley car* will have resumed
their regular schedules. The water
supply will be again up to Its liberal
maximum. The street light* will be
burning again. The repair work on
the canal bank will be well under
way.
Augusta will be her same old smll
Ing, beautiful, himtling aeif again.
AUGUSTA'S TEXTILE WORKERS.
A* soon as the newspnpeia spread
the report of the flood In Augusta,
end Ihat the breaking ol the canal
bank would necessitate the cotton
mills at this place remaining Idle for
u lime, an agent was despatched here
from New Orleans to engage mill
operators to go so that city 10 work
In Its cotton mill. Kor several weeks
a strike of the textile workers had
been on In New Orleans. Their
wages had been cut 20 per cent, und
against thin reduction the operative*
were *1 riding, with tho sympathy ol
the people of 'he entire city enlisted
on their side
August* has long borne the name
of the I.owall of the South, because It
Is the oldest and greatest centre of
! th* textile industry In the South Its
j operatives are Ih* most skilled In this
section. 11 Is uol strange, therefore,
| (hat Ih* New Orleans mill people
j should hive desired to gal Augusta
I operatives for their mill, or Ihst they
■ thou Id have believed Ihey could ge.
j them, with the local mills closed.
The agent Ihey sent did succeed lu
i ""curing about two hundred, whom
!he sent to New Orleans. He did not
tell them Hint a strike was on In
that city, nor (hat (his strike wns
caused by n heavy cut in wages A*
Is usual with such agents, he made
all manner of fair promises, painted
everything In glowing colors and sup
pressed the < isontla) true facts In Inc
cum . and so beguiled sonic two him
died Augusta operatives to go to New
Orleans.
When they arrived In that city thev
found out the true atnte of affairs.
Of course thev refused to work. Au
gusta operatives arc not scabs. They
would not work whan to do so meant
a great Injury to their fellow opera
tins In another rlty. And no, aa
each one may he able to prc.tdn the
ways and mean*, these men w ho were
beguiled'to go to NawOrletin* will re
turn to Augusta
Not a single one of our operatives
should leave The inllla will be ab'e
to rasuine work in a C« w dsjs. Th >
man lo whom lh» repair contract was
let in the moat competent In the whole
country, ami he will have the water
turned on In less than thirty day*.
For such a short time K is not ad
vlsable to leave the city, Temporary
rmplovment can he found by all ditr
lug ibis short time, and sonic may
even prefer to take th|* na a vaca
tion time And soon our mills will
be humming again, with work for
all.
Augusta Is the best mill town in
the South. Its mills pay the highest
wagea, and the city offers the great
eat advantages otherwise Kvery tex
tile worker would rather work here
than In any oUtnr place So for tbe
lew dava longtr that the mills must
now remain Idle not a single one
should |o off. at Icaat not further than

The farmer will watch his growing

Largest Pay Rolls Ever
Known Put Vast Sums
Into Circulation—Out
look for Busy Season is of
Brightest.
The past week lias been the busiest
in he history of Augusta, according
to men who are acquainted with the
actual workings of the city for the
past fifty years. The largest payrolls
ever known have put more money in
circulation than for any similar period
and the end Is not yet. It is the opin
ion of hundreds ot prominent busi
ness men that as soon as the debris
of tho freshet is cleared away the
city will be In the most promising con
dition it has ever experienced.
In every department of the city's
government work has been pushed to
the limit and an almost Incomprehen
sible amount has been accomplished.
Thousands of loads of trash that have
been accumulating for years have
been removed and cleanliness now
prevails where all this stuff has been
resting unmolested Instead of brinj-
Ing sickness as many seem inclined
to predict the medical authorities
aver that it is quite likely that It
will he quite the equal of a campaign
for health. Dr. Eugene Murphey,
president of the Board of Health, stat
ed last night that the work of clean
ing up the city was progressing well
and would continue until everything
was over.
SOME MILLS
RESUMING
W, J. Oliver has been awarded the
contract to reconstruct the canal
banks in the broken places and
though he has had but two days in
which to ge: in shape he already haa
a large force of bands at work with
plenty of machinery and mechanical
devices for handling dirt and it is
settled that he will do the work in
the specified time. He figures on
having if in shape for the cotton
mills to operate in thirty days and
to completely finish it In sixty days.
In the meantime every mill in the
city that can operate any part, of its
work will start up without delay.
The Riverside mill, which was hurt
worse than any other In the city has
already started part of Its works. The
management has worked with re
markable rapidity and in a short
time norma! conditions will prevail
there despite the great tragedy
wrought by the torrents of water in
the vicinity. The Enterprise mill,
it is understood will begin operating
icirt of its mach'nery by steam and
keep It up until full operation can
be started. Other mills will do the
same where possible.
The work ol fixing up the streets
is progressing rapidly and within a
few weeks the same beautiful drive
ways will b" found where ragged
edges and yawning holes now greet
he gaze. Men are striving to do
the best with modern equipments to
make the streets even better than be
fore and soon ovc-rything will be in
the best of condition.
PLENTY OF WATER
THIS WEEK
The contract sot North Augusta
bridge has been awarded ar,d work
commenced. This great connecting
libk that binds two states as one
will soon be open for public travel.
The s’reet cars that have long been
out of operation over the bridge will
soon he coming over and a short
time thereafter wagons will be ad
mitted across the steenm When this
Is done normal trade conditions will
be resumed from across the river. '
The wate; works will probably be
ready to suppty unlimiV’d quantities
ol water .Monday and the mains will
he filled In every lns’ances where
they are not damaged But few of
these places remain to be fixed and
consequently but few sections will be
deprived of water any longer.
The electric lights in every section
of the city will be turned on Monday
night where incandescent lights are
used, but it will be sometime before
the are lights arc ready. The street
cars will be gradually put back to
their old schedule and this feature
of the city's old time life will be
resumed shortly.
Weather conditions have been ex
tremely favorable for work of the
character that has been under way
for the past week and this has per
mitted an unusual amount to be done
in even line While It Is quite prob
able that such ideal conditlans will
not be experienced next week, st 11!
it is uot expected :ha’ a serious sit
uation will develop from this source.
Hi next Sunday most of the urgent
work will be compl- ted and the pub
lic can one" more have a quiet Sun
day in the city.
“Enough ” Is Fatal.
Out of the beginnings of philosophy
then can e this hit of truth: "If you
sav you have enough, you perish.
Always add, always walk, always pro
reed."
No author of th* present day is
writing anything that digs deeper tn’o
the "why of things'' than does that
thought.
Tho people who have ceased to
"add. walk and proceed" have ceased
to be useful to society.
The merchant who Is satisfied Is
I doomed. The merchant who belitvex
that his business ts big enough, us"
ful enough, important enough. Is out

rapidly changing over the south an 1
that by the time of election the dem

affairs already exists In the north.
Mr. Calhoun has just received a

of the national speakers committee,
in which he states that he has writ

to participate iu the national cam

Up to las' night Mr. Reynolds had
not received an official communica

he will be very busy with the courts
for the next few weeks.
