VrURDAY. SEPTEMBER 5 Is There a Greek Fruit Stand Trust? CLAIM MOVEMENT TO "BEAR” PRICES Farmers and Truckers Say Many Greeks Never Buy Produce Until Farmer is Sick at Heart and Ready to Go Home MOVEMENT FOR VEGETABLE DEPOT AT INSTANCE OF FARMERS AND HOUSEWIVES They Say That the Producer and Consumer Must Get To gether---What An Augusta Lady Has to Say of the Depot Plan Frequent complaints are heard from fanners and truck gardeners that they are unable to sell their produce to the Greek fruit stands, whose proprietors frequently wish to “bear the market,” so to speak. Farmers have Informed their friends in the city Uiat when ever they ask a living priceN.br vege tables and other country produce the Greek proprietors of fruit stores re fuse to pay them and then when they are not able to sell any store iri the city at a price which they consider reasonable they have to begin tlio weary task of peddling throughout the day in the broiling sun. In the after noons when they are discouraged and disgusted the Greeks will buy the produce at a much lower figure than they would give that morning because the farmer sells at a sacrifice in or der not to carry the produce back home. The alleged actions of the Greeks as to "bearing prices” would be impos sible under a central depot system such as has been suggested to The Herald by many local truck raisers and housewives who wish to get to gether on a basis which will be of mu tual benefit. It is a serious mistake for anyone to assume that the farmers, the truck raisers and the housewives who have so heartily endorsed the ideas ad vanced in The Herald and who sug gested just such a plan as was out lined yesterday are Intent upon break ing up any business. They aim at neither the fancy groceryman nor the fruit stand man. Selling vegetables is a side line with every retail concern in Augusta. The fruit stand’s specialty is fruit and the grocer’s specialties are meat, meal, flour, sugar, coffee, etc. Get What They Want When They Want It. After all, the aim of the housewife and truck gardener in getting together is to build up a custom for the latter which will enable him to have a steady market for his eggs, butter, chickens, vegetables, etc., instead of having to sell them at a sacrifice to a dealer or to peddle them from door to door and to allow the consumers in the city to get what they want when they want it. The idea of a central depot will be for the producer to get a little more for his produce than he now gets and at the same time allow the housewife to purchase what she needs at a lit tle lower price than she has been pay ing. Also she will be able to go to this depot and look over the vegetables and produce brought in by the various wagons and select just what she wants. One lady said yesterday in discuss ing the matter: "I do not see why Sorjjg one has not started such a move ment before. Frequently the porter for my groeeryman comes to my kitchen in the morning and when I ask him what he has in the vegetable line he will say: “ 'I have nothing but beans today.’ "On that very date _ probably want some okra, tomatoes, corn and other articles. Such a case is not to the point right now for practically every place in town has green corn, beans, tomatoes and okra, but very frequent ly when there are a variety of vege tables to be had my grocer has but one article and there is no way for me to get what I want unless I call up various stores all over town. I do not blame the grocer, but the system is wrong nevertheless. There should he a place where all of the country wagons can congregate and we can go to that place and get our vegetables.” HOTEL ARRIVALS Hofbrau Hotel. J. T.

M. TELLS WHO ASSAILANT WAS Tuesday night between eight and nine o'clock a telephone call reached the I.amar hospital from Lake View Park stating that a negro was lying there seriously wounded. The ambu lance went out immediately and brought In Edward Pointer, colored, shot In the stomach with both barrels of a shot gun. The shooting had oc curred at about six o'clock, at Hag ler’s brickyard, two or three miles from the city, whence Pointer had been brought in a wagon by another negro named .William Moore. He stated that he did not know who had shot him. it was someone con cealed in the bushes at the side of the road as he was passing. Yesterday morning, however, feeling that he was going lo die, he told the authorities that William Moore was the man whp did the shooting. It had come out of a row In which he (Point er) had stabbed moore's sister, and Moore In retaliation had fired both barrels of the shotgun Into him. They had agreed at the time to hush up the affair, both having violated the law, and tell the "unknown assailant" story. But the fear of death drove Pointer yesterday *to tell the truth. Orders were given immediately to all the policemen in the city to arrest Moore. He was apprehended shortly after two o'clock and after a most ex citing race was caught by Policeman Blackwell, who chased the negro from one end of the levee up to the Sibley Mill, down to Kerry street and up again. The negro ran through the weaving room of the Sibley. Mill and was finally caught under a* bouse on Pearl avenue at about 3:30. lie is now In Jail charged with assault with Intent lo murder. The Lamar hospital rejsirts Pointer much better this morning, with a good chance of recovery. AT THE GRAND HOWES TOURS TO OPEN GRAND. "The faith that ran remove mount tains" has been demonstrated In the most heroic way since the dawn of time at the Panama. Canal, and it should be a matter of pride to every American that it is Uncle Sain who gave the demonstration, and that, too, lor (lie benefit of the whole world. Of course. Uncle Sain had to exercise something more than mere faith. Just what was this "something more" will be shown by Lyman tl. Howe at Ihe Grand next Monday and Tuesday evening. But it is not alone because we, as Americans, successfully took this “liberty with nature" that Mr. Howe’s reproduction should be witnessed by everyone, nor even because It opens a new corridor from east to west a new highway of immense inteination al importance. It is rather because it impresses on every mind an inval uable object lesson in the most vivid way imaginable of what tena -Ity of purpose, determination and patience can accomplish when combined with American ingenuity, skill, Inventions, systematic work, sanitation and ex ecutive ability. No era in ancient, mediaeval or modern history has witnessed tlie consummation of a task so gigantic. None will see another like It for cen turies to come; and when it Is re membered that Ihe reproduction Mr. Howo presents is the only one that portrays Ihe prodigious work ade quately in all its phases and that it is the only time lie. will present It trt-re, the importance of this engage ment cannot be overestimated. Such a reproduction has also Its ro mantic and psychological side. The Interest one feels in the actors In this industrial drama or rather earth trag edy in their struggle with nature is above the ordinary. It Is a strangely Stirring thing to see the legion *of workers, aided by mighty machines, disserting and severing two conli PRESENT PORTRAIT OF ARCHIE BUTT TO SEWANEE? Is Being Painted By Mrs. C. D. Partridge on the Hill-- May Present it in Name of City There is a plan on foot now being somewhat discussed in the city, to purchase a magnificent portrait of the late Major Butt which has been painted by Mrs. C. D, Partridge on the Hill and present it in the name of the city of Augusta to the University of the Houth at Sewanee. The portrait has caused consider able commonet since It was begun, some eighteen months ago, and a number of people have been following Its development as It progressed to final completion In Mrs. Partridges studio at 1131 Highland Ave. It has been done from a great number of photographs and from the comments and criticism of Major Butt’s family and friends. The portrait is a living Image fori likeness, and moreover it Is a great painting. It Is life-size, three-quarter length, on a canvass five by four feet. At first the plan was entertained by Ihe alumni of the University of the Houth, resident In Augusta, to pur chase the portrait themselves and present It to their and Major Butt's own alma mater, Sewanee, hut they had to abandon the hope owing to various difficulties, not the least of which was financial. The portrait will cost SI,OOO, which is the price Mrs, Partridge gets for her canvases, and It is expected thul enough people will he found In Au gusts to make up this amount in small contributions. Once hung In the halls of Hewanne It will he an undying monument to a man of whom his home Is so Justly proud; It wqil he a treasure and an ornament to his University, and an honor to the city which gave it for his memorial, i fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. nents and linking two oceans. It Is stranger still io see these dauntless workers file past on the screen, smil ing honfldently Into our eyes, passing a smile as of intluiute recognition and waving a greeting of good-lel lowship, across these many hundreds of miles of sea and land. After see ing all that Mr. Howe presents every American cannot help having u new and a. personal lntMost in what Amer ica has done and feel a deeper pride and glean a loftier conception of American Ideals. Panama will mean more than it ever could without see ing these scenes. It will have a re freshing significance which can nev er lie obtained In any other way. It Is for this reason that America owes Mr. Ilowe Ms gratitude for the oppor tunity of gaining such conceptions from a comfortable theatre seat. The fiery geysers of Yellowstone Park, which act as a "safety valve” for mother earth also constitute a Idg feature of Howe’s new program. At •every turn, water is seen boiling furiously either In vals carved by na ture or is being ejected to great heights by fierce explosions under neath. Masses of steam rush from openings in the ground. Terrible con vulsions of nature ensue and mons trous cauldrons become more and more active until the whole ensem ble becomes a veritable Inferno. The historic ruins of Pompeii in the col ors of nature, a visit to Naples and lo tlie Paris Zoo where acquaintance Is made with numerous strange animals at close range, the wood-turning In dustry at Saint Claude, salmon fish ing in British Columbia, tunny fish ing near Palermo, Sicily, new “sy m-* phonies of the sea" and a ride on Ihe Chicago, Milwaukee and HI. Paul Railroad Company's train de luxe "The Olympian," through (lie Mon tana Canyon and over the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, are a few of Ihe many other features included In the program.
