ADVERTIBE AUGUSTA.
Augusta Ih growing. Our ov\n peo
ple know- It, they see It day by day.
they at 1 * talking it to each other and
to the j eople they meet.
Augusta's growth and awakening is
gradually spreading throughout the
state. Other people and other cities
are talking about It. Hut the point Is
we all want more people to know
shout Augusta—what she l« doing—
what she offere in the way of business
and manufacturing—ln the way of
trade and transportation.
Its a good thing to tell people about
what n good place Augusta is to live
In. to educate their children, as well
ss to do business.
Augusta needs to keep up the
steady strides she Is making day by
day. and Augusta needs to tell more
people about what she is doing.
Work and Vdvertlse. 'Phis means
the building of the bigger and better
sml buster Augusta that wo all want
to see.
A SERIES OF INTERSTATE SHOP
PING DAYS IN AUGUSTA.
With the? coining of the soldiers’ en
campment and with the effort that
will hr made to get Augusta excur
sion rates during the period of th*
four states' encampment iti Augusta*
we suggest the idea of a co-operative
HTATK SHOPPING DAY for Augus
ta
If cvfVK merchant in the various
lines will agree to make special dis
plays to offer special Introductory
prices, and to put on Bargain Days
during this period, it will inevitably
result in increasing the number of peo
ple who will take advantage of the
excursion rates to come to Augusta
and to do their shopping in this city.
l.ust year the Herald with the co
n paint ion of local merchants put on a
Dollar Bargain day and the trade re
sult* were splendid for those •mer
chants who featured what a Dollar
would do on that day In the \arknii
atofe* of the city.
Why not put on a STATIC SHOP
PING DAY this year and bring thous
ands to Augusta for shopping purposes
as well as t»» see the soldiers and the
enmp maneuvers?
WHY NOT A PERMANENT CITY
REGISTRATION?
On Monday while the bond election
was I being held—one election being
Ruttiln out nf (he way--registry booths
were! opened up for nnnther city elec
tion. '
Why not have a permanent city rote,
lstratlnn similar to the state reglstra
tton law which provides that with the
paying of taxes a voter ta automati
cally registered and qualified to vote
In elections without going to the
meaningless trouble of registering
attain, and swearing that hla taxes are
already paid when thla Information la
already upon the tnx books of the city.
A permanent city registration law
would save the rlttens and voters a
good deal of trouble Its a good thing
and Augusta ought to have It.
GIVE AUGUSTA COMMISSION GOV
ERNMENT.
The biggest advertisement that Au
gusta can secure for herself Is the
adoption of the Commission Form of
tlovernment. The campaign of edu
cation during the two campaigns when
thla Issue was thrashed out by the
people of Augusta has practically
convinced every citlxen of the splen
did benefits ihat will come to the city
by thla form of civic administration
The record of some 400 American
cities, of all sixes, In all parts of the
country, which have adopted this form
and none of them have ever gone hack
to the old ward form of government,
la testimony enough of the benefits ot
the new plan.
Augusta Is fast developing a real
community spirit. Nothing will do
more to foster and to bring this about
than the Commission Form of Govern
ment. Factions and factionalism are
fostered by the old ward plan. It la
Inevitable Riot out ward lines and
you practically wipe out factionalism
In the city of Augusta, for you make
every citlxen then look upon city af
fairs from the standpoint of the whole
community of which he Is a part.
Wards narrow the view point and In
terest of the voter*.
Get the legislature to pass this sum
mer a Commission Charter for the city
of Augusta. Augusta wants It and
Augusta needs It.
THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyright 1914. American Society for Thrift.
LINCOLN'S VIEWS.
The following letter* written by Abraham Lincoln approaching
thrift or tho lack of It from different viewpoints typical of that keen,
level headed statesman, are given verbatim.
The first letter answered an inquiry from an Eastern merchant re
garding the responsibility and character of a fellow townsman when
Lincoln waa a young lawyer in Illinois.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 10th received.l am well acquainted with
t! c gentleman named and know hl3 circumsUmcee. First of all, he has
a wile and baby Together they ought to be worth $50,000 to any man
Then he has an office In which there Is a table worth about $l 50 and
three chairs worth, say, SI.OO. Last of all, there is In one corner a rat
hole Which will bear looking into. Respectefully,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The second letter was written bp Lincoln on January 2, 1851, from
Springfield, 111., to a brother whom he had “helped" for some time with
out being of any real assistance:
Hoar Ilrother: —Your request for eighty dollars I do not think it
I rst to comply with now. At the various times [ have helped you a
little jou have said, "We cau get along very well now,” but in a short
time 1 find you In the same difficulty. Now, tills can only happen
through some defect In you. What the defect it, 1 think I know. You
nre not. lazy, and still you are an idler. I doubt whether since I saw
you you have done n rood, whole day's work in any one day. You do
imt very much dislike to work, but still you do not work much, merely
lie ause it does not seem to you you get enough out of it. This habit
of uselessly wasting time Is the whole difficulty. It is vastly important
to ,' ou, and still more ini] ortant to your children, that you break the
the habit.
You are now in need of some money, and what I propose is that
you shall go to work "tooth and nail” for somebody who will give you
money lor It. Let father and your boys take charge of your things at
home, prepare for a crop und make the crop, and you go to work for the
best money wages you can get. or In discharge any debt you owe, and to
secure you a fair reward for your lnhor, I promise you that for everv
dollar you will got /or your labor between this and the first of May,
cither in money or In your indebtedness, I will then give you one other
dollar. By this, )f you hire yourself for ten dollars a month, lrom me
you will get ten dollars more, maklug twenty dollars.
in this 1 do not mean that you shall go off to St. Louis or the lead
mines of Missouri or the gold mines of California, but I mean for you to
go at It for the best wages you can get close to home in Coles County.
If you will do this you will soon be out of debt, and, what Is better, you
wtil have acquired a habit whlrh will keep you from getting Iff debt
again. But if I should now clear you out of debt, next year you woukl
be just as deep In debt as ever.
You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for seventy or
eighty dollars? Then you value your place In heaven very cheap, for I
sin sure >ou can, with the offer I n.ake, get the seventy or eighty .dol
lars for four or five months’ work
You say If I will lend you the money you will deed me the land,
and If you don’t pay the money back will deliver possession. Non
sense! If you cannot now live with the land, how will you then live
without it?
You have always been kind to me. and I do not mean to be unkind
to you On the contrary, if you but follow my advice you will find It
worth eighty times eighty dollars to you. Affectionately your brother,
A. LINCOLN.

INDOOR SPORTS By Tad
NOTHING ON THE PRESIDENT
Apropos of the human side of Presi
dent Wilson, the president was out
for a ride In his automobile one af
ternoon. The machine passed a small
boy standing beside the road.
"Did you notice w-hat that hoy did
when we passed?*' the president
asked.
“No, Mr. President; I did not."
"He made face* at me."
'is It possible exclaimed the shocked
companion. "I didn’t observe him."
"He did," said the preetdent; "but
did you notice what I did'."*
"No, sir."
"Well," answered the president hap
pily. *T made a face right back at
him!” —Saturday Evening Post.
