COTTON BAGGING.
The problem now confront Inc tho
farmer* of tha cotton hell i* how to

they have produced In the present cot

surplus cotton for a time, they cun

S«me yeara ago. while cotton wax

to put up tho price of Jute hugging.
At this advance in the price for the
material (or wrapping their cotton
hales, the agricultural Intereata were
giaally Incensed and Immediately act
themaelvee to work to get a auitatdo
covering for the ataple.
They manufactured a thick cotton
bagging nr ducklna that wan strong
enough to hold the Maple. They alao

half an Inch t« three-quarters, which
one used In baling the cotton. Thla

pose for which it was Intended.
It brought the urroaant trust to it*

{sound of Jute bagging at the advanced
price, which had the effect of lea Bon

What was good ammunition In the
war on the Jute bagging trust will do
to shoot at the low pricM lhat now

war for fair price* for the Mouth's
staple money crop
By using cotton bagging a* a wrap
per and cotton rope for baling, you
i real" a new tree for option and Just
ao much excess cotton is taken off the
market. About two pounds of crude
cotton will be required for wrapping
a bale and a half pound mere for the
ropa, or two and one-half pounds per
bale.
Thla will not only reduce the amount
of the *»( •■»• on the market, but It wdl
set a number of mills to work to mat
ufacture the goods required
Thirteen million hales will require
twenty-six million pound* of cotton
for wrapping, exclusive of the rope
for baling. And It will keep a great
deal of money at home that now goes
to feed foreign population. "Charity
begins at home."

MORE ABOUT "THE DIP.”
To the Herald:
I wish to commend the article
signed “Decency" which appeared In
the Herald this afternoon regarding
"The Dip" and the “Bucket of Itlood."
It aeoniM that we have about reconcil
ed ourselves to seeing booze sold In
Augusta, but If we must stand tor it
then let It be properly regulated
There tk no excuse In the world for
such places as “The Dip” and that
other, which has such a sanguinary
name, existing It and the other
places on the Inside unit outside of the
city that have gotten to he dives
should he broken up. 1 am informed
that white men and white women and
negro men and negro women fre
quent “The Dip." I have never been
In this place but I Infer that the color
line In not drawn out there In the
name of "Decency" why can’t this
state of affairs he stopped?
A. H. U
SUGGESTION FOR FIRST PRES
BYTERIAN OPEN AIR SERVICE.
To the Herald:
No public services, especially of a
religious nature, have ever attracted
so much widespread Interest In Au
gusta as the open-air meetings every
Sunday evening on the cool, spacious
lawn of the First Presbyterian church
on loAer Telfair street. Although
these out-door services will soon
have to be brought to an end on ac
count of the approach of cooler
weather. It Is felt certain that they
will lie continued next summer.
In view of this prospect I beg to
offer this suggestion, which, T hope
will meet with the approval of those
in charge.
Above the heads of the preacher
and choir members are two rows of
brilliantly shining electric lights—
some fifty or sixty odd In number.
These lights must burn during the
services, but why shin* in ayas of the
congregation? Kvary member of the
congregation who Is a Rood listener
looks directly at the speaker while he
is talking, the lights overhead are not
far enough out of the line of vlstlon to
keep from shining precisely tn one's
eyes, and hurting them; than why
not ahiald each row of lights by put
ting a atrip of hsavy black cloth, or
anything opaque that i* desirable, in
front of them. The preacher, choir
and orchestra will have just as much
light as before and the eyes of every
one in tho congregation will naturally
feel more at ease and unstrained
than when staring almost point blank
at the lights, as at present Is the case
This suggestion is respectfully re
ferred by mo to Dr. Sevier, the pas
tor, who has charge of the meetltng*.
with the sincere hope that It will be
favorably acted upon as soon as pos
sible
Tours \ety truly,
t Signed t “INTKRKSTBD."
COUNTER-ARGUMENT FOR "DE
CENCY."
To Th* Herald.
An article which appeared in \our
paper yesterday signed DECENCY en
ter* a protest against two of Rich
mond county's resorts. The Pip' and
tlb- "Bucket of Blood.'* Now let not
this letter which 1 am writing b«
construed as a defense of either place,
or a* an offense to the writer of yes
terday's letter. It te Intended merely
as a counter argument against dis
establishing the out-of-town night re.
sort of th# negro
1 merely contend that the negroes
will inevitably get drunk if they want
to. and that no amount of police In
terference can slop it. |f n is not in
one place It wilt he In another. It
seems to me that •these out-of-town
resorts must draw a great deal of
ribald and unseemly behavior Into the
country Instead of leaving them In
town right under our nose* Is It not
heller that drunken negroes should ftM
the New Savannah road of an even
ing than that they should stagger
along Broad street? Answer Ye*;
except for the people llting on the
New Savannah road. To them of
course we have to extend our sym
pathy.
The second contention of your cor
respondent is that these places “no
doubt have a gang of loafing negroes
around them who should lie at work
picking cotton.” Now really! Does
anybody think that breaking up a loaf
ing place is going to lint a stop to
loafing? They will only loaf some
where else Instead, perhaps in a more
inconvenient place. Besides, forsooth,
100 much cotton has been picked al
ready-. 4
The third contention is that the ne
groes who loaf are fed with 'service
pans” carried home to the Indigent
ones by our cooks. This is an evil, no
doubt, hut has nothing to do with
"The Dtp” or the "tyueket of Blood.”
It could only be stopped at the base
of supplies, If housekeepers would gel
together and blacklist any cook they
caught at It, or else prevent it by keep
ing a closer watch on their kitchens.
J,et the negroes go out of town to
raise their sand. They are going to
raise it Just the same, no matter how
many dives you break tip. It is an
evil, of course, everybody will gram
that, luit my contention Is that it is
the choice of the lesser evil.
MODERATION.
TOUGH ON THE MEN.
To The Herald.
1 noticed In your Speaking the Pub
lic Mind” an article on the dress and
ways of the modern girl, entitled ' A
Prayer.”
Is It not fair that this little piece ol
w it should also be turned on the men'.'
Here Is my version of the piece, witn
ail due apologies to "Broadway:"
Backward, turn backward, oh time
in your flight, give ua a man who
is not such a sight; give us a man
whose limb* are not exposed, through
linen trousers Intersecting variegated
ho«e: give us a nisn, no matter what
age, but who does not think that he s
an unprecedented sage. Yes, give us
a man who won't stand on the streets,
smilingly gaitng at all the “sweets."
Time turn backward and grant this
request and let all the young fellows
commence feathering tjicir nest—for
the girl that now "does riot know how
to dress."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
Hold fast to your cotton —It means
money in your pocket!
When the European war is over the
European countries will pay big money
for It.
Then, if you have turned il loose at
the present prices, you will be out of
pocket six or eight cents per pound
mavbe more.
The European countries will need
lots and cords of cotton. They have;
got to have it. This crop will not be
enough for them, nor the next, nor
the next. What are five or six mil
lion people going to do without clothes?
From Great Britain to the steppes
of KuHsia, the warring nations will
be bare of cotton goods as the paltn
of your hand. Equally bare, they will
be, of wool and woolen, .goods. They
produce no cotton, not enougli wool to
supply their home population.
Their famishing armies are now
eating iqi the sheep, the goats, the
horses and the cows, and even the dogs
and the cats, in their desperation, and
there won’t be enough left for the
royalty and grandees, much less the
whole population of those distressed
countries.
The terrific slaughter now in prog
ress In Europe, with its wide-spread
devastation, is already showing signs
of exhaustion. And when its fury is
spent, the very first thing they will
need to rehabilitate their commerce is
cotton.
The dawn of great prosperity is
therefore upon the South. Already
England, has re-established her steam
ship lines to this country and the lanes
of commerce traversed by them are
being palroled by British cruisers and
every vessel Is laden with thousands
of bales of American cotton
There is talk of■ curtailment of the
acreage of the next cotton crop. Those
that have the matter in charge mnv
deem this necessary. If they do. It will
huve the effect of putting the price
still higher. Rut, on the other hand,
they may find that there is no need
of curtail.uent In the production ot
cotton, if rational methods in farming
are pursued.
Help Wanted!
y\LL Europe, all South America, all
“ Asia, is crying to America, “Help
Wanted.’’ We must feed and clothe
the world.
•
Suddenly thrown on our own resources.
America must rise to her opportunity. Ts
there was ever need for boldness it is now.
If there was ever need for Yankee ingenu
ity it is now.* Every mill should be run
ning. every man at work—NOW.
Put Out Your Own Sign “Help
Wanted” and Start the Wheels
FARMERS, ATTENTION!
HOLD FAST TO YOUR COTTON
If supplies enough are raised to sup
port tile farm, there will be no need
of curtailment of the production of
cotton. Fortify yourself in this re
gard first and then you can, afford to
wait until the market goes up and you
can get what your cotton is-worth. In
this case, there will be no need of cur
tailment, for the acreage devoted to
raising supplies will reduce the cot
ton acreage sufficiently, in the pitch
ing of the crop.
Therefore, don’t neglect Hog and
Hominy. Save as much hay as you
can and do it now. Plant wheat, oats
and rye or barley in fall months, and
in the spring put a plenty of corn, po
tatoes and peas and garden sass to
heat the band! 'Nien you can live like
a prince while you are waiting for
prices of cotton to go up.
We, of the- South, have got the finest
country in the world and the richest
country in the world. When the Lord
made America and gave it cotton, He
put it far above the other countries of
the earth. He didn’t give us this mag
nificent asset to drag us down like a
millstone hung about our necks, but
He gave it to us exclusively, that we
might enjoy its benefits, if we shoulo
put it to the correct use.
Hence, it is all Important for the
Southern farmer to hold his cotton for,
a fair price. “The laborer is worthy
of his hire," and he is entitled to re
ceive a remunerative price for the
product of his toil.
ITALIANS SHOT.
London.—A Rome dispatch to The
Standard says several Italians have
been arrested and shot just over the
frontier in Austria They were ac
cused of trying to foment rebellion
against Austria among the Italian in
habitants there.
HOPE ABANDONED.
Adamson, Okla.—Rescuers this af
ternoon abandoned hope of reaching
the thirteen men entombed in the
Union Goal Company's mine here since
last Friday. It will take more than a
week to remove the debris, according
to experts.
