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. OFFICER V S FOSTER MARRIES MISS SIMMS Police Officer V. S Foster's numer ous friends learn with astonishment of hla marriage last Thursday night to Miss Mary Simms, daughter ot Samuel Simms, of Columbia, S. C.

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. Augusta Herald MAY CIRCULATION Dally and Sunday Herald.
