Central Depot For Country Produce
FROM PRODUCER
TO THE CONSUMER
Plan For Vegetable Depot in
Augusta Where City Con
sumer May Purchase Direct
From the Country Producer
PLAN IS PRACTICABLE
AND SHOULD BE SUCCESS
Will Help Solve High Cost of
Living For Both Country and
City People---Housewives Can
Get Best Country Produce
From Man Who Raises It
As an effective weapon for com-
Hatting the high cost of living and
for the purpose of aiding both the city
householder and the truck raiser and
farmer, it is suggested that there be
a depot or market where country pro
duce, vegetables, etc., may be brought
to the city and sold by the producer
direct to the consumer. The plan does
not embrace a market house, although
it is along a similar line, in this cen
trally located depot there will be none
of the staple groceries sold and no
canned goods, it will simply be a
place where the farmer and truck
gardener can come to the city and sell
his produce without peddling it out
or selling it to a middle man to be sold
in turn to the consumer.
Under present conditions if a far
mer has six dozen eggs and a coop of
frying size chickens and wishes to sell
them he brings them to the city and
if no grocer or produce dealer is will
ing to give him the price lie thinks
they are worth he peddles them. Of
tentimes he either has to sacrifice
them or carry them back home, not
withstanding the fact that there may
be hundreds of housewives in the city
who would be willing to pay his price
and be glad to get them. He simply
falls to carry his produce to the right
house or fails to strike the dealer who
is In need of just such articles.
Might Be More Than One Depot.
The idea of a depot for the selling
of country produce does not necessar
ily mean that there should be only one
such place in the city, but at the out
set one is enough. It will be an ex
periment, but it is believed that it will
be a highly successful one
There are hundreds of people in Au
gusta who are firm converts to the
market house idea. Savannah, Char
leston and other cities In this section
have markets and they are said to be
highly successful. However, this plan
does not go that far right now and
may never get that far, but is entirely
practicable to bring together the man
who produces the vegetables, etc., and
the housewife who purchases it.
Open on Certain Days.
At the outset it would be a Rood
idea for certain days in the week to
he designated when the depot would
he open. The fact that the vegetable
depot would be open on a certain day
between certain hours could be well
advertised and that would be notice
enough for the man who has snap
beans, okra, tomatoes, potatoes, scup
pcrnongs, eggs, chickens, and every
conceivable kind of farm produce to
he on the job early with his articles.
Notice in the newspapers would also
be sufficient for the housewives to
gather at the market place in the
early morning to get their vegetables
for the day and for the next day. The
entire affair w'ould be a cash proposi
tion with the producer selling direct to
the consumer at fair and equitable
prices. Before long the depot would
be open every day in the week.
This plan would afford an opportu
nity for the housewife to look over the
produce brought in by every Wagon
and she could select her vegetables
with care and patronize the people
who sold the better goods. A good
trade could be built up by farmers
who would have their same customers
and many others looking for them on
every day that the depot is open.
It is further suggested that the veg
etables be left at the depot in cases
where the producer cannot afford to
remain until all he has is sold and that
a small commission be charged for
selling the remainder of his articles.
The Herald invites suggestions on
(Ills very timely proposition for it is
,-ntirely practicable and should prove
a boon to the farmers and truck
raiser as well as to the city con
sumer.

Hardwick to Redouble Efforts
to Get $250,000 Appropriation
For Paving Bank oi the levee
As Senator He Can Help Augusta Even More Than While in
the House---Has Already Secured One Hundred and Eighty-
Five Thou&and Dollars For Rip Rapping the Banks of the
River Here
The nomination of Hon. Thomas W.
Hardwick for the United States senate —
and his nomination is equivalent to
election- gives a great deal of pleasure
to Augustans not only because Mr.
Hardwick is poular here and deserves
to be elevated to the American house
of lords, but also because ho is in an
even better position to assist Augusta in
her fight for government aid for flood
protection.
Mr. Hardwick expects to get $250,000
at least to pave the banks of the Savan
nah river from Hawks’ Gully to East
Boundary and this will be a tremendous
amount of aid in Augusta’s efforts to
protect herself from the flood waters of
the Savannah river.
Hoarse But Happy Richmond’s
Delegation Back From Macon
Say Convention Will Always Be a Memorable One-- Mr.
Fogarty Was One of Hardwick’s Floor Leaders and Took
Conspicuous and Able Part in Proceedings
The Richmond county delegates to
the state convention at Macon have
returned home and not a one of them
can talk much louder than a whisper.
However, though hoarse they are hap
py. Although two days have elapsed
since the nomination of Congressman
Hardwick for the senate, still they are
far from being entirely recuperated.
That memorable Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning will never be for
gotten by those present.
Mr. I). G. Fogarty, who, with Hon.
Joe Pottle ot Baldwin, Hon. Herbert
Clay of Cobb and Mr. Travis of Chat
ham, was floor leader for Mr. Hard
wick, says that such scenes as enact
ed at Macon were never before wit
nessed in a state convention in Geor
gia. Mr. Fogarty, who was a member
of the credentials committee, took a
prominent part in the deliberations of
the convention and was one of Mr.
Hardwick’s most conspicuous and able
champions. Right in the front of the
convention hall with the other floor
leaders Mr. Fogarty was in splendid
position to observe to the best ad
vantage what was going on.
Hardwick’s Organization.
A Herald reporter saw Mr. Fogarty
today and asked him about the con
vention. He said that the feature of
it was easily the splendid organization
of the Hardwick forces.
"Hardwick never lost a singlp vote,"
said Mr. Fogarty, "and he began to

Interesting Old Fragment Comes to Light
While Digging For New Sewer
Section of Ancient Wooden Water Pipe Cut Through at Kol

In laying the new sewer on Kollock

at first it was a log, but when they

COMMENT ON NOMINATION
OF HARDWICK FOR SENATE
The election of Hon. Thomas W.
Hardwick to the United States senate
to succeed Senator A. <>. Bacon was
the ending of one of the hardest cam
paigns ttic state of Georgia has ever
had. Mr. Hardwick’s success was as
sured by the withdrawal of Hon. Tlios
8. Felder from the race in his favor
Mr. Hardwick had gained ground
steadily and his friends were predict
ing his success on the next ballot.
It was one of the Ironies of politics
that Mr. Hardwick, who opposed the
unit rule, should have triumphed
through that rule, while Governor
Slaton, who has stood with the fac
tion which favored that rule, lost hj
it. Under the plurality plan Governor
Slaton would have been omlnated on
the first ballot. He went into the
convention with the largest unit, as
well as popular vote, and was second
choice in five-sixths of the counties
of the state thta he did not carry.
But Governor Slaton did not have
the strong, persistent organization
which backed Mr. Hardwick. Many
of the delegates from Slaton counties
were Hardwick men at heart and were
eager to go to him after voting a few
ballots for Slaton. The Hoke Smith
machine was solidly behind Hardwick
and Census Enumerator Harris, claim
ing to represent President Wilson, was
also behind him.
It is to Mr. Hardwick's credit that
his friends in all parts of the state stood
loyally by him. His faith never wav
ered from the beginning of the cam
paign and they were Just as confident.
They played the game like men who
knew what cards the opponents had,
and the determination with which they
fought to overcome every obstacle in
the way was like (hat of a well or
Warehouse Receipts To Be
As Good As Real Money
Considerable Cotton Now Being in Augusta at Seven and One-
Half Cents-- Many Will Sell Cotton Gathered in Septem
ber---Then the I 'lovcment to Store Cotton in Warehouses
Will Start
There have been a total of 4,823
halos of new cotton received lit the
city to date. There were 954 hales of
new cotton yesterday. There Is con
siderable cotton being sold at ultout
7V4 cents per pound for middling. The
fit mund is fair.
Cotton men, informed of the report
that the mills of Japan will secure
2.(1(10,001) bales of cotton tills year In
stead of 500,000, slated that they
thought tills should have a good ef
fect on the market when the New
York Cotton Exchange opens. There
seems to he a general impression that
I tie price will advance some when the
New York exchange opens.
Cotton will be sold throughout Sep
tember by those not in position to
hold, and it is expected that after that
there will tie large quantities held.
The cotton will be stored in ware
houses and receipts for it will be ne
gotiable.
As an illustration of how the plan
will work Hie foliowing is cited: A
country merchant has due him several
hundred dollars by a farmer. The far
mer says that lie can't pay him all of

but tells him that he will give his

Senator Hardwick.
It is to be United States Senator
Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia.
There is no doubt of this now that
Thomas Swift Felder has withdrawn
his name from further consideration
and has released the delegates sent to
the convention in his interests from
further obligations to him.
In naming Hardwick as one of the
standard bearers of democracy in the
upper national house Georgia demo
crats will do a groat thing for their
party and for the country. Mr. Hard
wick has shown by his years of serv
ice in Washington that he is one of

Wants State Banks to Participate.
An effort is to be made by Senator
Smith and other Southern senators
and congressmen to have congress
pass special legislation allowing state
hanks to receive additional currency
under the terms of the Aldrich-Vree
land act, the came as national banks.
Senator Smith informed President
Council, of the Georgia Bankers’ As
sociation, in Macon a few days ago
that he favored this plan. President
Council has written to leading state
banks of Augusta urging them to
write to Senator Smith and the. con
gressman from this district to work
for this plan.
Under the present arrangement the
state banks can only gel emergency
or additional currency through their
correspondent national banks.
