TO BOOST AUGUSTA.
A good many thousands of dollars
have been cheerfully pledged to the
reorganized Merchants mid Manufac
turers' Association for the purpose of
booming Augusta—-for the purpose of
bringing more people to Augusta for
the puriiose of encouraging the In
dustrl&l. manufacturing and commer
cial Interests of Auguhtu.
Time after time, the aame thing
haa happened with other civic bodies
—thousands, hundreds of thousauda
of dollars, have been raised and spent
by the citizens of Augusta, in similar
organizations and for the sumo pur
pose
The only thing that secured the
generous subscriptions this time from
the varied lines of business and from
the many public spirited citizens ot
Augusta wile the hope and the | rom
Ise that the McKeand Wlbon plan of
organization under which the reor
ganization of the Merchants and
Manufacturers' Association was un
derlaken this time, guaranteed some
thing different, bomothlug different
In organization, something different
In purpose and spirit, something dif
ferent In the results to be achieved
by such an organization.
Thin Is the high hope held out—
tills Is the high purpose of the reor
ganized Merchants and Manufactur
era' Association- this Is the great re
suit that Augusta looks to see the
Merchants and Manufacturers' Asao
elation accomplish for the growing
city and her many lines oT industry.
The Herald wishes to help tile
Merrhants and Manufacturers' Asso
elation to which It has subscribed as
a contributing member for three \eais

Augusta llut at the same time It
wishes to remind the Merchants and
Manufacturers' Association that It
has undertaken a big task for the
•'hole city, and that in view of past
hlatory Augusta aa a whole Is going
to be critical, friendly critical, help
fully critical of Its efforts until the
whole city has become convinced that
the reorganized Merchants and Manu
facturers' Aaaoclatlou Is delivering t ,
goods
Uel’a Augusta on the map.
Let a make Augusta known to more
nud more people of this country as a
good place to do busineas In, to live
in and to raise children In. It's a
bigger and better and busier Augusta
that we all want to see and all An
gusts looks to the Merchants nn 1

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
A NATIONAL BUSINEBS SUCCESS
•■find made the aca but the Hollander made the land," Is an old Dutch
proverb. More true this year than ever. National thrift has not only
reclaimed a great part of the Zuyder Zee. that great shallow sea to the
north, but has saved practically the whole area of Holland from the in
roads of the sea and the overflow of the rivers. The reclaimed lands are
liistrlnsloally worth the high prices paid for them.
The windmills so prominent In Dutch paintings are finger posts which
point to Dutch thrift The rivers and canals which Intersect them form a
navigable net-work all over Holland which Is unique In the world. "Thrift
Is good revenue."
Happiness Is an Inevitable result of true thrift, and the Dutch combln*
pleasure with theirs. They have made their skating areas and they are
the best skaters In the world. They skate to business and to school, to
funerals, to social and church affairs.
The ocean is not the most treacherous and formidable foe of this tit
tle country, which Is not only flat hut hollow (hence ItH name—Holland.)
Great embankments or dykes, on whose flat surface carriage roads have
been built, shut off the ocean, twenty-five feet at high tide above the level
of the farms But the rlvera swollen by heavy rains and melting snow
are much more dangerous. There are times every winter when men and
women turn out and patrol the dykes.
There was a profit to Holland of billions of dollars In reclaiming that
country from floods and swamps In the United tates there are great
areas of swamps anil lands subject to Inundation, about 76,000,000 acres,
rich alluvial lands worth when reclaimed the tidy mrai of thirty to forty
billion dollars Hy the expenditure of half a billion dollars the floods
which cause annual losses of property, estimated hy the National Drainage
Congress at $100,000,000 a year, could he largely prevented and the swamps
reclaimed The profit will be approximately $35,000,000,000 plus the
crops which would be grown on the land reclaimed. Yet there Is apathy in
the United States about doing thut which made Holland rich and famous.
SIDELIGHTS DM MEXICO
What the U. S. Marines Did in the Boxer Usrising.
Account ol the Gallant Little Corps Which is Older Than
the Republic Itself. What Major Waller Said.
(By a Veteran.)
Washington, D. C It was the .am
pnlKti of the Allies against the
Boxers In 11*00 They had captured
Tientsin by a hard three-day battle.
A conference had been called of all
the commander* to discuss the ques
tion of advancing or waiting for rein
forcement". (lenereal Hobert Meade,
In command of the I'nlted States ma
rines. was 111 and Colonel I.illleton
T Waller, then a major, was the Ju
nior officer of the representatives of
many nations In the conference.
One by one the elder men gave
(lirii opinions that there was no op
pressing need of an advance and that
the ttvops must have several more
days of recuperating Finally, Major
Waller's opinion was ashed and he
stood up and asid
"Gentlemen, 1 don't know just what
the rest of you mean to do. but the
marines start for Pekin at 0 o’clock
In the morning."
The marines dll start at 6 o'clock
In the morning, taking the allies
along.
This incident was recalled to my
mind on si-eltig that Colonel Waller
iiad been ordered east from the ror.at
ami Is likely to get mixed up In the
doings in Mexico. Wallers reply
was tv; leal oT the gallant little corns
which Is older than the republic Itself.
An act of the continental congress
in 1775, a year before the Declaration
of Independence, organised the cort>s
along the lines of a similar llrltlsh
body.
Just one hundred years before the
marines battered at the gates of the
Forbidden City they did a heroic feat
in Tripoli. In tSuit a detachment of
these soldiers of the sea marched 600
miles across the \frlcan de-ert to
subjugate t h o Insolent tyrants of the
Mediterranean. They pulled lown
the malodorous flag of the Tripollana
utid hoisted the Star Spangled Banner
Over the ancient fortress before a
horde which had In larbe number
never seen It before.
The marine as it fighting .man
aboard ship Is said hv one historian
to date bark to the Persian Empire,
Marini's are mentioned In connection
with the battle of laide. In the time
of Darius I. King of Persia, about
495 B
In the old day* of engagements at
close quarter* the marines were the
“cutlass crews.’* The fighting of na
val battle* at a range of five to ten
miles has destroyed the usefulness of
the s ashing hoarder, hut there Is
plenty of work left for the soldier of
se» and land As Josephus Daniel*,
secretary of the navy said recently:
"The marine* hnd bluejackets have
I I
INDOOR SPORTS oft By Tad
rendered valiant service at Vera
Crux. The marines as well as the
bluejackets have proved their calibre,
ulwuys understood by our own people
as well as those of other nations. It
is the marine who is always called
upon to form the entering wedge, to
blue the trial In landing on foreign
shores."
To illustrate the manifold service®
of the marine, let us take the exam
ple of Haggerty, oue of the three ma
rines who fell in the first day's fight
ing at Vera Crux lie had been under
tire at Samnr and again at Pekin He
had gone into action twice lu Nica
ragua and had had rifle aimed In hts
direction In Haytl.
Just one hundred years after their
march lo Trlioli the I'nlted States'
marines touched again ou African soil
hut ou tile peaceful mission of escort
ing a representative of the state de
pitrliuent to the court of Ming Meue
llk of Abyssinia They took u camel
hack ride of several hundred mill's
Between the Pekin expedition aud
this they also bail a touch of excite
meut at Samar, Panama and Colon,
and even while detachment was cross
ing the Abyssinia sands another band
ol their comrades was abiding In
quelling the insurrection of 1905 In
Seoul, Santo Domingo. Haytl.
The warships are manned by sea
men or bluejackets, who, iu time ol
need, must become soldiers (or ser
vice ashore The marine Is a soldier
pure and simple. Hts uniform rearm
hit's that of a soldier except that he
has an actual part in the mannlug of
the ship, lu that he has his regular
duty alioard with a 'battle station,"
to which lie must spring whenever
“battle stations" is sounded, and the
ship goes Into action.
Among other things the marine
must possess good eyesight, for un
der modern conditions with high-pow
ered rifles, the greater part of land
fighting would he done at a range of
about a mile.
The training of the marines in
cludes not only the signal drills,
searchlight ami heliograph practice tn
which the soldiers of the Briny are
trained, hut also the drills peculiar to
the management of a ship of war,
such as the use cf the wireless wig
wag, signalling, aemaphone signalling,
and in many eases the handling of
small boat*
