Pour little Belgium offer* mioth-r ohjecl leaarin of the illaaelera of In nocent liyatendlng. Her mletnke has been In her geographical poeltlon. Who haa had the 111 luck to be the most available pa*exgewa> for Germany Into Fnnca In her iittempt to defend her own hearth from Invaders ahe Ima had to put up a valiant fight. The moral of lier plight would aeem to he that when beaais of prey are at outa It la the pert of prudence to aland back of them, not before, or between, them. II la aald that nothing aucceedg like aut'ceae, hut we have aomellmea won dered if anything aucceeds like failure Out of glorloua failures the world has gleaned Its moat precious lessons Little Belgium had no chance against the Germane, whose soldiers, trained and ready for attack, outnumbered here many lime* over, but her men have bean the great heroes of the war. If the other alllea will fight as they have fought, Germany, wtlh all nf her great atrength. may find rea eon to regret her steps. But, how ever thla war may end, one thing Is rertaln, and that la tlmr the vlcUtnlr. • Ing of little Belgium will arouse over whelming sympathy. When the world'* Jury come* to *it In Judgment of thl* war, the witness of Melgtu in l* one that I* deatlned to exert a potent Influence upon tl* de i laloo COTTON BAGGING. The problem now confront Inc tho farmer* of tha cotton hell i* how to find new uac* for the excea* cotton they have produced In the present cot ton crop. If they can act aside tile surplus cotton for a time, they cun roallxe « fair price for the remainder of the crop, otherwlae. disaster will re sult to the tnduatry. S«me yeara ago. while cotton wax kelllna at about the *ame prices It I* now bringing, a truat was formed 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 ■nude cotton rope of the alie of one half an Inch t« three-quarters, which one used In baling the cotton. Thla did act ae a flrat-clast* aubatltute for jut* bagging hot It answered the pur pose for which it was Intended. It brought the urroaant trust to it* knew* The farmer* refused to buy a {sound of Jute bagging at the advanced price, which had the effect of lea Bon ing the demand for Jute and conse quently the prlcea of Jute baagltiK came itown to a satisfactory level, when they began to uae It again. Now any port In a storm and these ere atormj old lime*. Ths tight la now not against the Jut* bagging trust but against the low prices of cottou. created by the war In Europe. What was good ammunition In the war on the Jute bagging trust will do to shoot at the low pricM lhat now pravall In the war for time and the 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."

Public Mind 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." MISS FAIRNESS. FLORIDA EXCURSION GEORGIA A FLORIDA RY. SEPTEMBER 15th. rhone 70S for further Information. 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.
