THE
LOOKINGAHEAD
HABIT
A bank account is an education in foresight—it
teaches the man who haß it to think in terms of
next week and next month and next year. THE
LOOKING-AHEAD HABIT is one of the first char
acteristics of the successful business man.
Money in the bank is a great little helper to the
long - headed thinker. Remember it takes money
to PUT THINGS OVER. Why don’t you get that
“Looking Ahead’’ habit by starting a bank ac
count with this bank?

FIELD DAY AT THE GUN
CLUB ON YESTERDAY
Some Splendid Scores Made
By the Shootera Who Are
Practicing For the Big State
Shoot.
(By a Gun Club Member).
Wall! Well!! You should have seen
those fellows preparing for the state
shoot yesterday! The boys shot
some and then some more. Guns were
limber and nerves stroniy and the
powder burned just to suit. The Au
gusta Guu Club already has the
champion of Georgia as one of its
members, and If the compass doesn't
quit pointing In the same old course
there are some others of the club
going to Illuminate things here when
that state shoot comes off In June
on the Augusta club grounds.
"Die" Riley, the genial and hust
ling secretary of the club, got his
optics crossed for a minute and had
a littie trouble getting them straight
ened out, but when he did get the
swing again he wbb there with the
goods.
John Pierce, our farmer, had dust
In his eyes at the first of the shoot,
but when the dust cleared he struck
his old pace and take It from me,
when John gets In that old pace there

"I)ady" Quick had a little pain
somewhere below his shoulders and
was not In his usual form and so
dropped some birds that looked
mighty pretty, but "Dady" doesn't
shoot like a man with grey hair ever.
Brother I.yle was shooting a new
gun and so of course his shot stuck
together and caused him to miss gome
easy floaters.
B S. Dunbar, who has burned
more powder than any living man
around Augusta, knew exactly where
to swing that old Winchester and
there was only a little wad of dust
left to show where the flying imp had
been. Occasionally the target dodg
ed through a hole in his shot, but
seldom.
“Billy" Twiggs was simply mad at
the "blue rocks" for hardly at all,
did he allow one to escape destruc
tion. He hit them like a pill-driver.
It was left to Jim Chaffee and Par
son Derrick to. take the honors of

the other was caused by worm-eaten
powder.

present, but this article will grow too

CHILDREN’S HOME REPRESENTATIVE
PLEASED WITH WORK IN AUGUSTA
Suut. Jenner. Office at Rich
mond County Court House, is
Receiving Splendid Support
Local Branch of State-wide
Society For Immediate Pro
tection of Children of Any
Age.
Superintendent Jenner, of the Geor
gia Children’s Home Society, is great
ly encouraged over the situation here.
He has met many of the leading busi
ness men of the city Who have assur
ed him of their hearty support. Es
pecially Is he grateful to Mr. G. H.
Nixon, chairman of the board of coun
ty commissioners, also Mr. J. M.
Haynle, clerk of the county commis
sioners. It was through the kindness
of these two gentlemen that office
space was granted in the commis
sioners’ room at the county court
house, Mr Jenner may be found at
the above place each morning from
9 to 10:30. and would be glad to con
fer with anyone interested In the gen
eral welfare of the child.
Assist Every Needy Child.
The aim of the Georgia Children's
Society is to assist every needy child
!u the most effective way. Mr. Jen
oer Is devoting hik life to the welfare
of the child. He says: "The future
generation depends upon our attitude
to the present. It is true many of
our boys and girls are too far gone
now ever to be rescued, but we cer
tainly can atop the increase by taking
these young lives and moulding them
into useful men and women Mr.
Business Man, have you ever thought
what it costs your country to convict
any ordinary criminal? Many of them
cost from S2OO to SI,OOO. Stop for
a moment and ask yourself what have
you done when you have succeeded
In placing the poor man behind the
bars. Would it not have been much
better to have taken that same crimi
nal when a boy and given him good
moral training? Hundreds of the
hardened criminals of today • would
have been rescued when young. Will
you not think this vital problem out
for yourself and assist In the great
work of saving our boyd and girls?
The Augusta branch Is for the im
mediate benefit and protection of
children within this vicinity. It
matters not as to age. denomination
or present conditions. Should you
know of any child In need get this
Information to Mr. Jenner and he will
go fully into the case with you and
do what seems best, always consid
ering the Interests of the child first.
Also If you desire to make application
for a child send this Information to
the office. Your application will be
filed and acted upon at soon as pos
sible
For fear some may not thoroughly
understand ihe nature ot the work of
•he society the following explanation
la given by Mr. Jenner:
"We are not an orphan asylum,
neither are we an orphan home We
are clearlv a placing out agency.
Put Into Hornet.
i "The Cbtldren'a Home, of which
Mrs. E. S. Hollingsworth is general
manager, is an Augusta institution;
our work as an agency. In its scope
it is state-wide, yes nation-wide, as
thirty-three (33) states have been
federated .together into one federa
tion. Wa have no receiving home,
but secure good Christian homes for
the little ones as soon as they are
pronounced by the physician to be in
good health and perfectly sound. The
child after it is placed in a home is
constantly under our supervision un
less it is adopted by Its foster parents.
We invariably inspect the home per
sonally and make sure that the child
fits into the home. Any information
will be gladly furnished to anyone by
Rev. Jenner or his wife, who are here
to look after the child.
“Our work is at present supported
by public spirited men and women
who see in the child the growing man
and woman. Are you interested in
their future? If so please listen to
our appeal—not for a caariiahie gift
—but for a donation to support an
agency which hae the general welfare
of every child at heart who needs
public attention. Make checks pay

CURTAILMENT OF
WIFI FOODSTUFF
Cut Off Quantity of Provisions
That Were to Be Purchased
For Warships.
New York —Orders received at the
New York Navy Yard curtailing the
amount of provisions that were to be
purchased for the war ships in Mex
ican waters is taken as evidence by
officers at the yard and others tnat
the navy department is hopeful of a
-ireful settlement of the Mexican
situation.
The Washingtonian, a chartered
freight steamer was to have left the
yard early'next week with a general
cargo of provisions, among which
was to be 1,200.000 pounds of re
frigerated beef.. This item has been
cut to 500,000 pounds and the same
general reduction has been made in
all other provisions.
The action of the war department
in cutting down the amount of sup
plies strengthens the belief that the
dreadnoughts and other big warships
with possible exception of a few are
to be withdrawn from Mexican waters
while tne actual work of patrolling
the coast will be left to the light
draughts vessels.
