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 £ J •HERE'S YOUR POCKETBOOK YOU DROPPED THE OTHER DAY.” 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.

One day You'* heart gave a big leap, for coming down the street he saw the old gentleman who had dropped the pocketbook.

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.

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.” Rut she didn't know, or couldn't see. the happiness of the ones that ARE Interested In their homes, their chil dren and In helping their husbands to get ahead, which eventually means happiness for them all. The people that neglect their homes seem happy —for awhile —but. sooner or later, along cornea the big smash and then the lonesome misery with nothing left hut the memories of what might have been.

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. (To bo Continued.) BERRY SIMPSON GIVES UP TO THE OFFICERS Negro Who Cut Roland Ap pling to Death Surrenders to the Sheriff.
