A WREATH ON
rar GRAVE
Impressive Exercises at City
Cemetery Yesterday After
noon Following Beautiful
Farade.
The weather man yesterday gave
Augusta a delightful, bright, sunshiny
day for her spectacular parade in the
afternoon and memorial exercises in
morning and afternoon. The day, a
holiday in Georgia, was in this city
impressively devoted to services in
honor of the memory of tire lost Con
federate soldiers.
The usual throng along the line of
march were awaiting the parade long
before 4 o'clock, the hour selected for
the procession to move.
With Perfect Order.
Under the direction of Mr. Marion
Ridgely, marshal of the day, and his
staff, composed of Mr. Jno. D. Twiggg,
chief; Messrs. J. S. Reynolds, J. M.
Hull, Jr. Warren Fair, B. R. Rus
sell, Jr., A. Grabowski, M. A. Ridgely,
little Miss Emma Ridgely and Master
M. G. Ridgely, the parade was formed
with perfect order at the intersection
of Eighth and Broad streets, march
ing down Broad past the Confederate
monument, which was decorated for
the day, then to Monument street and
out to Greene; down Greene street to
Elbert, and out to Calhoun, then
through the main gate of the cemetery
to the soldiers' section, where, on the
pergola recently erected, the exercises
of the day were held.
Military Feature.
The parade attracted a great deal
of attention. One of the features of
the line was the patrol of Boy Scouls
led by Rev. H. L. Reeves, a scoutmas
ter. The Uniform Rank, Knights of
Pythias, headed by Captain John M.
Cozart, attracted much attention also.
Their ranks were well filled and the
showing they made was particularly
fine. Other military organizations in
the line were the three local infantry
companies of the National Guard,
commanded by Captains Ilains, Jow
ijt and Woodson, respectively, follow
ed by the Hussars, led by Captain W.
K. Young, the entire battalion com
manded by Major Abram Levy. Then
came the Sacred Heart Cadets, and
the battalion of cadets of the Rich
mond Academy, under Major George
P. Butler. The very last of the pa
rade was brought up by the remain
ing few in the ranks of gray. Some
of these wer unable to walk the long
way and were carried in a large wag
on. On Elbert street the command of
"squads left" threw the various mili
tary bodies Into company front, and
the old vets passed in review with
hats off. As they passed they were
saluted by the different organizations.
With the old soldiers ahead the march
was continued to the cemetery.
Exercises Opened.
The exercises were opened with
prayer from Rev. P. J. Bame, after
which a bevy of pretty schoolgirls
sang “The Bonnie Blue Flag.” Dur
ing the exercises "Tenting on the 01c(
Camp Ground” was sung by the Lyric
Quartet.
Rev. M. Ashby Jones, the orator of
the day, wag introduced in a most
appropriate manner by Captain .r.
Rice Smith, a veteran of the war.
What Captain Smith and Dr. Jones
said may be found elsewhere In this
issue.
The benediction was given by Rev.
W. B. Dillard, pastor of St. James M-
E. church.
The hundreds of soldiers' graves
again this year looked fresh and green
by the various evergreen that had
been placed on them beforehand. Hun
dreds of people lingered to visit sec
tions of their friends or relatives.
THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
The court this morning was rich and
varied. Ten cases, one after another,
were deemed worthy of being tnkn
down, only to be In turn discarded and
displaced by the next. The conse
quence Is that It Is now impossible to
decide among them, which one to take,
and it will bethe endeavor of this re
port to give some idea of them all,—ln
narrative form. This preface was con
sidered necessary owing to the fact
that somebody said the reporter went
to sleep on the bench towards the last.
But that Is untrue.
The Georgia Railroad, TOngine 495 or
1652 or something like that, was ar
raigned under a charge of being Plain
Drunk. The motive was Jealousy.
Witness said that she was sitting on
her piazza when the thing occurred.
She hurriedly ran into the kitchen to
call the police, and on her way back
stumbled and fell, cutting her head.
Seeing the blood she reported the case
at once to the 8. P. ('. A
All this happened In the City of Au
gusta, County of Richmond, Slate of
Georgia.
The next witness was ao old colored
man who stated that he “was sitting
over yonder on a keg” when Willy,
who was In the hahlt of staying out
late every night, came In to buy a bot
tle of beer. Tt being Sunday he sold
hima bottle of whiskey Instead, and as
the city was not ready the case was
postponed until tomorrow. Judge Ir
vin remonstrated with the man for us
ing his hat for any such purpose, but
his wife explained that he not meant
to hit her.
He was an extraordinarily large and
powerful negro. It seemed to bn an
other case of Black Male.
The Cavalryman on the other hand
explained that he did not know how
to ride and that his horse had refused
to remain In the Parade and had In
sisted on Joining a funeral procession
that was passing by some blocks away.
In his hurry he had run violently Into
the carriage Immediately behind the
hearse. The Recorder decided that
this was not Cruelty to Animals and
bound him over to City Court for nine
ty days.
All these details sre given merely to
disprove the false Hnd calumnious
statement about the reporter having
fallen asleep,

"DAMAGED GOODS"
When “Damaged Goods"' was pre
sented in Boston recently a prudish
element in tire community, having
learned that the play dealt with the
social evil and the “social disease ’’
conceived the idea that it was inde
cent and unmoral. This element sent
to Mayor Fitzgerald asking him to
prohibit the engagement. In order to
establish the effect, which "Damaged
Goods" has on various communities,
telegrams were sent to prominent
men in every big city in which the
play had been given prior to its Bos
ton appearance.
Here are the replies, which were
addressed to the Woman's Municipal
League of Boston, under whoso au
spices Bichard Bennett and his co
workers presented the Brieux play
for a successful engagement-
From Surgeon General G. F Stokes
U. S. Navy, stationed In Washington,
‘Damaged Goods” was produced
last spring in Washington, D. C., un
der the auspices of the Society for
Social Hygiene, of which I am prosi*
dent, before a noted audience made
up of the Olorgy, Cabinet Officers,
Senators, Members of Congress diplo
mats and others of equal prominence.
Universal opinion upheld the perform
ance, justified its production and its
moral effect. Has left a strong im
press for good upon the community.
I cannot say too much of the timely
and telling lesson brought out In the
plav.
(Signed) C. F. STOKES.
From Professor Irving Fisher, of
Yale:
Have seen "Damaged Goods.” Wish
to register my opinion that the in
fluence is for good. It should he
helped and not opposed by all who
fight Immorality and disease. Many
who disapprove beforehand and con
vinced after seeing “Damaged Goods”
of necessity of employing this method
of morality teaching.
(Signed) IRVING FJSHEIt.
From Mayor Henry T Hunt, of Cin
cinnati :
Moral v.alue of "Damaged Gooda”
officially recognized by four out of
five members of board of censors ap
pointed by safety director. Members
endorsing play Included the health of
ficer, local dramatic critic, represent
ing minister, and a high school
teacher. Play was permitted to con
tinue, was patronized by highest
class of citizens and universally en
dorsed by press and public.
(Signed) HENRY T. HUNT.
From Mayor Newton B. Baker, of
Cleveland:
“Damaged Goods” was given In
Cleveland with the approval of the
■Ministers’ Union, the Academy of
Medicine, social organizations and the
public, authorities. Performances
were attended by ministers, physi
cians, and serious people of all call
ings. The general opinion here 1a
that the play Is a sermon of great
value.

NOW. Delays are oftentimes fatal.
Don't* procrastinate. Give your little
favorite the advantage of an eariy
start; let it have the advantage of the
bonus of 5,000 free votes which we
offer to each baby nominated.
You may vote as many coupons as
you may desire for any baby. Each
coupon of the present series counts
100 votes. These may he sent or mail
ed to the Shower of Gold Department.
See to it that they are neatly trimmed
so that they may be expeditiously
counted; see that they are propejJ/
marked for identification. It frequent
ly happens in enterprises Of this na
ture that coupons are deposited upon
which no name appears and in such
cases the votes are, of course, lost
for whom they are intended. It is not
necessary to write the name, address,
etc., on each coupon, when more than
one is being deposited. Just ,pin or
tie them together in a safe manner
and mark the top coupon for Identifi
cation. Write in plain figures numbei
of coupons in each bundle.
It has been said and truly said that
no section of this state or Union is
so prolific with pretty and attractive
babies as Augusta. The Herald pro
poses to prove this to the world; prove
it beyond peradventurc. We believe
this to be true and it should be a
source of very just and pardonable
Pride and joy on the part of the rela
tives of the little Tots us well as the
parents themselves. It was In view
of this well-founded claim that The
Herald decided to bring the fact more
forcibly to the attention of every read
er of this paper and to the world at
large through the Shower of Gold just
inaugurated. We believe that after
we have shown the' likenesses of a
tow of the sweet little darlings of this
section that it will be conceded on nil
sides that Augusta is a veritable
Fairyland in this respect.
It matters not your condition or
station in life; both the lowly and
lofty are placed on an equal and com
mon plane in this affair, and each will
have no better than an equal chance.
Cut the nomination from the paper
and help the public to decide.

PROTEST STORM
SPOTTING' GARS
Shippers Up in Arms at Rail
ways Adoption of Plan to
Raise $10,000,000 Yearly.
Wiishington.—Railways operating in
eastern classification territory have
adopted the recent suggestion given
them by the interstate commerce com
mission and have tyegun to file tariffs
providing for a charge for “spotting”
cars. The provisions and charges
contained in the tariffs are Identical
in all instances indicating concerted
action on the part of the roads. The
charges are 5% cents a ton with a
minimum charge of $2 a car. The
exaction of $2 n car. it. is believed
would increase the revenues of the
roads at least $10,000,000 a year.
“Spotting” Charge.
A charge for car “spotting” Is one
of the ways proposed to Increase the
returns to the railroads without mak
ing a straight advance in rates.
The suggestion, however, has raised
a storm of protest from shippers. The
tariffs Hied with the commission con
tain these descriptive statemments:
“Spotting service is the service be
yond a reasonably convenient point of
interchange bet weir road haul or con
necting carrier ad industrial plant
tracks and includes:
One Placement.
“One placement of a loaded car
which the road haul or connecting car
rier has transported;
“The taking out of a loaded car
from a particular location in the plant
for transput't»ition by the road haul or
connecting carrier;
“The handling of empty cars in the
reverse direction.”
An effort will be made by shippers
to have tariffs which are filed to be
effective on thirty days’ notice sus
pended. If they should be suspended
that action would serve to bring the
reasonableness of a charge for ear
spotting directly to an issue.

Hearings Before Inter-State
Commerce Commission Must
End Friday.
Washington.—Chairman Harlan of
the interstate commerce commission
today announced upon resumption of
arguments in the cases asking an ad
vance in freight rates that discussion
must be concluded next Friday.
J. L. Minnis, general counsel of the
Wabash and representing Central
Freight Association roads, pointed 0.«4
that Mr. Brandels’ brief for the com
mission conceded that the railways in
Central Freight Association territory
needed additonal revenues. In view' of
this he said, and of the generally ac
cepted belief that the people of the
country wer opposed to government
ownership of railroads, he urged that
the commission, having previously
held the roads were entitled to make
reasonable return upon their property
investment, ought to adopt such means
as would Insure to the railways such
a profit as would attract new capi
tal and enable them to maintain and
to extend their lines in conformity
with the reasonable demands of the
public.
ON A PARTY LINE PERHAPS.
