NO DULL DAYS IN AUGUSTA THIS
SUMMER
There W>| h time when Augusta
went to deep In the eumtner, when
the whole city followed the example
of Cotton ltow—eat In the ahade, Rot
out the checker hoards and waited for
the cotton crop to roll Into market.
Theae Rood old daya are l ast Now
the cotton men go out and meet the
farmer and merchants of Georgia and
South Carolina. They don't watt for
the cotton to come in—they qo out as.
ter the cotton. And a great many oth
er towns and cities are doing the same
thine. There la competition in the
cotton trade these days as In other
lines of business.
Retail merchants in Augusta are
following the example of the cotton
men- they are going out for the trade
of this section and territory. This
summer Is s good time to presch the
.doctrine that AUUI'STA IS A GOOD
Pl-AvE TO TRADE IN. The mer
chants of other towns are doing this.
It is the next big forward and con
certed movement that Augusta mer
chants should put un i.' boost the
trade of the city.
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN
GEORGIA.
The present senatorial campaign in
Georgia It somewhat unique In the po
litical history of the alate; though the
Issues Involved are comparatively sim
ple: and the choice of men by the
people Is easy and clearly Indicated.
The situation Is unique, because two
oCTtoe-holders resigned or Intended to
reign their commissions, very recent -
/ly conferred by popular suffrage; the
other two ask to be retained by the
people in the field they now occupy
with usefulness end distinction; one of
them wishing simply to be transferred
under the cupola to a seat In the Na
tional Senate
first. Attorney General Felder had
scarcely hecajnr comfortable In his po
sition. and had Just begun to make
himself uaeful as the legal counsellor
of the state government. He had not
served flva months of a two years'
term, when he resigned the commis
sion. with which the people had en
trusted him, and rushed Into new, un
tried fields of political activity. He
should, as a public servant, have re
mained for the full term In the office,
where the people, by their votes had
placed him. He is a good lawyer and
a good Democrat, but should remem-
her that public office is a public trust
Second. Governor John M. Slaton
has begun to make a creditable, ef
ficient executive. In the recent cam
paign for his present position, he gave
certain definite pledges to the people;
these pledges he should redeem. He
has Just moved into the State White
House, and has hardly gotten his der.k
and fixtures in place. The first session
of the general assembly' under his ad
ministration has not yet convened. He
has Just entered upon the .discharge
of tho duties of his office arid upon
the fulfillment of his promises to the
people. The public expect him to kef j
the faith, and to bear to the rounded
end of his term as governor, the re
sponsibilities which he sought anti as
sumed.
Third. Senator Hoke Smith is al
ready a leading, useful. experience I
senator of the United States is recog
nized as one of the ablest men on the
Democratic side of the chamber, and
holds high, responsible position on
committees He is chairman of the
committee on education and labor, and
is a member of the committees on ag
riculture and forestry, on finance, on
library and on post offices and post
roads. He was for four years secre
tary of the interior in FTesiderit Cleve
land’s cabinet He merely asks the
people of Georgia, and has a right to
expect them to extend the term of his
commission as their senator.
Fourth. Congressman Thomas VV.
Hardwick has been, for twelce years,
a member of the National House of
Representatives, has made a faithful
useful, energetic servant of the people
He Is chairman of the congressional
committee on coinage, weights and
measures and member of committer
on rules. His name and reputation
have become international; his speech
es in Congress have attracted the at
tention of public men of the old world
His long experience in national legis
lation, and his acquaintance with rnen
of national prominence, added to hie
splendid personal qualifications, entitle
him to promotion by the people of
Georgia to higher fields of national
usefulness. By his distinguished pub
lic services in Congress, he has fully
and worthily earned the right to he
transferred by the people to the Ren
nlf‘ and to use and exert for their ben
efit his ripe experience in our coun
try’* highest halls of legislation.
EUSTACE.
Eustace whs a little newsboy ami
sold paper* on the Btroel* of a large
city. The other boy* called him You,
ami by the name of Little You he was
Renorally known, because he was
smaller than most of the other boys
Little You did not know his father
or mother and supposed he had never
had any. He slept In doorways or
behind barrel* and ale anythin* he
could obtain, whether he paid for it
or not.
He had never taken anythin* but
food, tail then tie bad never had a
chance, so be did not bother himself
about anythin* but food, for that was
a)| he seemed to need to make life
worth while to him.
One day an old gentleman passed
the corner where Little You was
standing selling papers, when some
thin* fell from the old *entleman's
pocket and landed at Yon's feet.
The old gentleman had taken his
handkerchief from tils pocket and
pulled out hi* pocket book at the same
time.
You picked It up and put it In his
pocket, and thtat night in a doorway,
where a dim light shone through the
glass In the door, little You opened
the pocketbnok.
lie passed over the yellow bills;
they did not interest him, or the pa
pers. Hut In the vory last pocket he
found two picture*, one of a very lit
tle baby and another of a sweet-faced
lady, who seemed to look rt*ht Into
Little You'* eyes and smile. You

smiled buck at the face and then he
looked nt the baby picture attain.
"Wonder If that Is her kid," he
mutted, as he turned the picture over.
There wait writing on the back of
the baby picture; It was dim, and
You could not read writing, but this
la what was written there: "Father,
thla la my baby; 1 have named him
for you.
You altpped the pictures back In the
pocket and put the pocketbook Inside
his coat.
The next day he looked for the old
gentleman, but he did not see him.
and the next day he changed hla cor
ner In MW the Old gentleman would
pass and lie could give hint hla pock
et book.
Not that You thought of the money
the old gentleman bad loat; It was
the pictures he waa thinking of. Every
night for a week You altd Into a light
ed hallway and looked at the pictures
He looked at the baby because It was
beelde the other picture but he looked
at the picture of the sweet-faced lad)
because It seemed to be looking at him
with loving eyes, and no one bad
•ver| ooked at him that way before.
One day You'* heart gave a big leap,
for coming down the street he saw
the old gentleman who had dropped
the pocketbook. You hugged It tight
to his breast aa he thought of giving
It back to the owner.
"1 shan't ever see her again.” he
thought. 'I shan't «v r *<* her eye*

down You's cheek, but he did not know
it was a tear. He had never cried in
his life, that he could remember.
When the old gentleman came up to
him You hehl out the pocketbook
“Here's your pocketbook you dropped
the other day," he said. "I've looked
for you every day, but I could not
find you."
The old gentleman looked at You
and then took the pocketbook anil
opened tt. He counted the yellow bills
and looked at the papers, then he
looked In the back part, where the pic
tures were. They were soiled from
You's grimy fingers.
The gentleman took out the papers
and pointed out a name written on
them.
"If you wanted to find me,” he said,
"you could easily have done so .there
Is my name and address written plain
enough for anyone to read.”
"I can't read writing," said You, a
little frightened at the tone the old
gentleman used.
“Well, If that is the case I guess you
are honest," said the old gentleman;
"all the money Is here. I suppose
you want a reward?”
"I don't want nothin’, mister,” re
plied You. "but would you please let
me look at the picture of the lady once
more?”
"Why do you want to see the pic
ture?” asked the old gentleman, his
face softening as he took the picture
from the hack of the pocketbook.
"I like her eyes.” said You; "they
look at me as though she liked me.”
He looked at It a minute and then
handed It hack.
"Don't you want to see the baby,
too?”
"It's very little,” said You ,as he
took the picture, and then he turned
It over.
“Is It her baby and did she write It
on there?" he asked
"Yes, It was her buby and she wrote
on there to tell me she had named It
for me," said the old gentleman. His
voice trembled as he spoke, and You
asked, "Is she dead?”
“Yes," was the reply.
"And the baby, too?' 'asked You.
"I don't know that, son.” answered
the old gentleman. “Poor little follow;
he may be selling papers just as you
are. and I have searched everywhere
but I cannot find him.”
You saw that the old gentleman was
thinking, and he started away, hut the
old gentleman stopped him. "What Is
your name?" he asked.
“You is what they call me: guess
It was Fust Is, once," was tho reply.
The old gentleman started and took
You by the shoulder. "What Is your
other name?" he asked.
You was so frightened by the tone
and look which accompanied It that
he could not reply at first.
"I ain't got no other name,” h«
managed to say, at last.
Nor could he tell the old gentleman
anything about him* If beyond tt*s
fact that he once lived with a woman
who had moved away. Rut tt turned
out that the old gentleman was You's
grandfather, and that his father had
died first and then his mother, who
was the daughter of the old gentle
man. You’s mother had married some
one to whom her father objected and
he had never forgiven her. but after
her death he had searched for the baby
boy. without finding him.
I.ittle You grew up to be s good man
and made the last years of his grand
father's life very happy ones. He did
much to help the newsboys in his city
and founded a home for the homeless
ones.

GEORGIA SUGAR-CANE AND
SYRUP.
A very Important industry in Geor
gia js tlie growing of red sugar cane,
the most valuable sugar cane, which
ts an annual crop, being planted In
March and harvested before the first
frost. The cost of cultivation Is com
paratively small, about fifty to seven
ty-five dollars an acre. The profits,
however, are large, as much as $350
to SSOO an acre being realized. Genu
ine Georgia Can Syrup Is a product
which for toothsomeness, wholesome
ness and purity is unequaled.
In Georgia, the boiling of the sugar
cane Is what the boiling of the maple
syrup is to New England. The sugar
cane is run through stone presses,
which extract tile Juice and sugar, and
the sugar Is hotted night and day un
til the season is closed, which lasts
anywhere from a week to a month
and a half, according to the size of the
crop.
From one Georgia town alone more
than 16,000 pounds of sugar cane sy
rup were shipped in one seqson, most
of which went to Northern markets.
As Jennie and her two women
friends yode into town. Jennie told
them she would have to be home In
time lo cook Tom’s supper.
At this the women laughed ana one
of them satd. "Why don't you let him
cook his own supper. Whenever I'm
out late my husband cooks hts own
supper. He growls a lot about It, but
what good does It do him? You just
bet 1 wouldn't tie MYSELF down for
any man.
"Gee Whls! I can't see how a man
would expect a woman to sit horns
all day counting her fingers and never
going any place. Maybe some do but
not for me. 1 like a little speed and
having some fun.”

AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME
WAS MADE.

A SWEEPING ASSERTION.
Mary was a fine young specimen
of housemaid just over from the Ijim
erald Isle, and imbued with a grim
respect and silent fear for all modern
conveniences and household inven
tions.
One sweeping day Mary's mistress,
returning from a walk, asked briskly:
"Well, Mary, is the parlor swept
yet?"
“Shore, I don’t gnow, ma'am,” re
plied the girl trembling. "I put that
vacuum thing that you said would
clane it up, Inside the room two hours
ago, and I'm that paralyzed of the
long-tailed demon that I haven't dared
to look inside the door since to see
how it's doing its work.”—Woman's
Home Companion.
UPS AND, DOWNS.
"Hoots, mon! what alls you? Can
you no’ stand up?”
‘‘Oh, aye—A can stand up, but A
canna' stop up!”—London Opinion.
Th« women friends of Jennie's sug
gested going to a matinee, but Jennie
said she couldn't afford it. Then one
of them suggested going to call on a
woman friend of theirs, whom, they
said, had lots of money, adding that
they always had a good time when
they went to her house. So they went
to call on this friend.
As they went into the houae Jen
nie could not help but notice all the
beautiful furniture and compare It
with her own little apartment that she
and Tom were trying so hard to fur
nish. This new friend seemed to take
quite a ltking to Jennie. The maid
brought them cocktails and the after
noon passed so pleasantly that Jennie
didn't notice how late It was, and
finally she said she would have to
hurry home and get Tom's supper. At
thla they all laughed again and
thought It a good Joke. On the way
home one of her friends said, "Hl-
Hum. wish Td married a man with
money like she did. She aure has a
snap." But Jennie Just looked straight
ahead.—H. C.
