The chief incentive came from general rains that promise a continuance of the flattering prospect for crops. Lowe* cables, too. counted against the hulls. The opening was -1 1-4 to 3-Rnt-2 down and after n slight action the market suffered an additional sag. Bearish attacks on corn met with lit tle opposition. Buying pow’er seemed for the moment to have virtually disap peared. Prices which started 1-8 to 3-8 off made a subsequent further descent. Oats were sold ns almost ns freely as corn and wheat. The result was weak ness equal to that in the other cereals. Provisions formed no exception to the ireneral movement toward a lower price level.

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, IN BELVEDERE The greatest bargain of the year.

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. (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER.

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.

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.

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. LEGAL NOTICES BANKRUPTCY NOTICE.'

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.
