FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 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. j HOTEL ARRIVALS Hofbrau Hotel.

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 North Augusta School to Open on Sept. 14th; Expect Enrollment 300 Prof. G. W, Coggin, Principal, Says School Will Be Crowded to Capacity, and Therefore Urges All Pupils Not to Delay in Registering on Opening Day The Norlh Augusta grammar school and high school. Prof. G. W.

All citizens and ratrons of the school, especially the parents of the pupils, urn invited to he present on the opening day. Prof. Coggin states thal pupils must register the first day. All pupils who wish to enter the first grade, states the principal, must do so the first two weeks of school. He says If they are not six years of age and will not be six years of age within two months after the school begins, they need not apply for entrance. Interesting Old Fragment Comes to Light While Digging For New Sewer Section of Ancient Wooden Water Pipe Cut Through at Kol lock and Greene Streets Yesterday. In laying the new sewer on Kollock street the workmen yesterday came across a strange old relic which has been burled In the ground for an un known period of lime. They thought at first it was a log, but when they had cut It out of their way they dis covered It was hollowed out and fur ther examination proved It to be a section of the old, forgotten wooden water main which run* about under the streets of the city no man knows where. At the time when water was first conveyed into Augusta, It was evi dently Impossible to procure pipes, if any indeed existed at that time. The water supply of the city was brought In from the old Turknett Springs, out on the Wrightsboro road, through q system of hollowed-out pine log* Join ed together. Fragment* of this old line have been discovered in various parts of the city so that the route can be traced almost along the whole length of it. Three or four sections of the log pipe used to be visible at the surface of the ground near the old springs, where the earth had been washed away. The route carne down the Wrightsboro road and Joined the line of the Georgia railroad beyond Woodlawn. After that it is lost until it turn* up in the city, running here and there along the older part of town. It ha* come to light in various place*. Tlie line cut through yesterday 1* made of twelve inch logs, or there abouts, with about » four Inch hole running through. The sections are THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. Included in the rivers and harbors hill, which is now in the annate is an appropriation for the purpose ofmaking a survey between the locks and (lie mouth of Butler's t'reek by government engineers which will show the necessity of the government paving tlie banks of the levee because the thousands of yards of dirt which have been placed on tile leiee are liable to be washed back In to the river and tile channel ob structed unless tlie side next to the riv er Is paved. Mr. Hardwick has secured a total of $1 5r.,000 for rip-rapping the banks of the river at Augusta and In the senate he will continue to giie his best efforts to Augusta and the Savannah river. gain after the first, drawing his sup port from Slaton and Hutchens forces. The organization of tlie Felder forces was also splendid and they stuck closely to their candidate until he withdrew In favor of Mr. Hardwick. The night of September first will al ways be a memorable one. “We stayed in the convention ball from B o'clock in the afternoon until 7 o'clock next morning. Throughout the night Governor Slaton was on the floor pleading and imploring with del egates to vote for him. Mr. Hardwick did not appear on the floor of the con vention at all that night and Mr. Fel der occupied a scut tn one corner of the hall and had little to say. “Tlie delegates were determined to nominate a progressive democrat for the senate. They went for that pur pose and it was seen from the start that Governor Slaton had no chance. Many thought that he would withdraw in a graceful speech when it was an nounced he would address tlie conven tion immediately after Mr. Felder withdrew, but not so. Governor Sla ton was determined to stuy In the fight until the last and In that ud dress pleaded with the convention to name him. However, his talk accom plished nothing and on the next ballot Mr. Hardwick won with ease.” Ur. H. W. Shaw, of the Richmond delegation, was made a member of the state executive committee. 'I he South Carolina law requites evsry child to he vaccinated by a physician before entering school. This law, says Prof. * oggln, will be strictly enforced. Every pupil who Is conditioned In any study will be obliged to make up all conditions before entering a higher grade. Preparations have been made to ac commodate three hundred pupils In the grammar school and the high school which nre conducted In two buildings on Ihe same lot, both under the supervis ion of Prof. Coggin The school will be crowded with this number, arid for this reason It is Urged by the principal for pupils who wish a seat to register early. usually from eight to fifteen feet long and are Joined together with Iron clamps.

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 Ids account, in fact, very little of it, but tells him that he will give his warehouse receipts for the cotton, at 6 cents per pound. The merchant ac cepts the warehouse receipts and when ids banker calls on him for PRICES CUTTLE ON THE HOOF ARE NOT UP Augusta Market Has Been Sup plied For Past Two Months Almost Altogether By Farm ers in This Section ItiMtf'ad of th»* prlf'*n of CHltl* on th* hoof going up,- they urn not hh high now ah thny iiav« been, according to tile utAtemnnt made* thin morning by a prom inent local cattleman.

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 the most progressive of the democrats n«w tn service and it will he good news to the followers of Wilson in Georgia to know that he Is to he retained. Before this issue of The Press reach - es its readers we confidently expect Mr. Hardwick will have received the nomination he so richly deserves, an 1 in honoring him the demm rate of the state will honor themselves. Mr. Hardwicks success has Just been announced. This is a good day’s work for Georgia.

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.
