Ashby Jones Preached Able Sermon on ‘’The Price of Cotton.” People of South Are Children of Men of ’6l to ’65. How Dare a Single Southern Son to Play the Cow ard in These Coming Days. Cotton Should Not Be King. Dr. M. Ashby Jones preached an abEe sermon at the First Baptist church Sunday morning on "The Price of Cot ton.” He took as the basis for his remarks the 25th verse of the 6th chap ter of Matthew: “Is not life more than food and the body than raiment’?” Dr. Jones said that the fact that the assassination of an Austrian crown prince by Servian conspirators had affected the price of cotton in Amer ica and the South was illustrative of the truth that no man lives unto him self and that what happens to the least affects all. He said that our cotton Is low because our customers in Eu rope have stopped the peaceful pur suits of manufacturing, etc., to kill each other. The minister then launched into the question of crop diversification, say ing that cotton should hot be allowed to reign as king; that the South s in dumjial prosperity should not be al low! 3 to depend upon a single crop. that the men and women of the South should not allow themselves *to he conquered by one commodity. \ Concluding a sermon which was heard by a large congregation and which was one particularly able and rnaue a great impression, Dr. Jones said in substance: We should not allow' our industrial prosperity to depend upon cotton, and, Rbove all, w'e should not allow our hearts to depend upon the price of cot ton. Life is more than cotton. The danger of the low price of cotton Is that we will let our characters be tho victims of the market price of cot ton. Talk about hard times—the worst of it is It makes hard men and hard women! I beg of you, with your wealth o fsweetness and kindness my people, not to let the price of cotton make you hard. There is the danger of taking advantage of the weakness and neces sities of men now, and that suspicion that chills all comradeship, that self Exit the Straw Hat For 1914 Tomorrow Will Be the Last Day Exit the straw hat—wear It to morrow. that Is, it one wants it bust ed. September the 15th is hat day in most every city in the United States, and for many years it has been the custom to smash the other fellow’s hat; the lid that had warded off the many summer showers and the slant ing rays of Old Sol.

TEAGUE MADE FINE ADDRESS HERE SUNDAY Spoke to Baracas and Phila tbeas at First Baptist Church Sunday Afternoon. The Baracans and Phllatheana of Augusta at a mass meeting at the First Baptist church Sunday after noon at 0 o'clock heard Mr. C. O. Teague of Columbus, Ga. .the state secretary of the asosclatlon, in a strong and very helpful address. I Mr. J. G. Beldlng of this city, who is the state president of the Baraca, presided over the service. Rev. How ard T. Cree led in prayer, and the speaker was introduced by Mr Beld ing. . Mr Teoguo asked the members to stand by each other and uphold the vows that bound them together, urg ing all the while the personal side of the Baracit work. He stated that he saw excellent poa albilltles for the churches In this state which have Baraca and Pbilathea clarfber. He added that the Baraca and Phtlathea organizations in Geor r gia are destined to become the back bone of the church, because they arc imposed of the younger people, those who are being trained for the work In the church.

The banks will lend money with cot ton warehouse receipts as security, provided this additional currency Is obtained. ishness In commercial life. I beg of you not to allow the price of cotton to determine what sort of men and wom en you will be in these days of trouble. It is a magnificent opportunity to de velop all that is best in ourselves. No man can go down by himself, can fad without dragging others down and men are learning to stand by each other and to practice mutual forbearance In commercial life. How many problems will come up during these coming days that you must carry for your friend or your neighbor. How many oppor tunities for service! Men and women will come through either better or worse for this testing time. When I hear men talk dismally now and tell tales of woe, I picture to my self the horrors of war, of what the men are suffering across the waters and I turn to the petty sufferings of this land, and my soul sinks with dis gust at a man who, in this land of plenty and sunshine, will let a shadow lie across his soul! Ye are the sons of the men of ’6l to ’66, and of ’65 to ’76! Ye are chil dren of people who faced starvation, bankruptcy, ruin, and yet, who, out of the pit of degradation, bore upon their shoulders all that was best in South ern tradition, and built a new civili rs.tion out of the ruin of their for tunes!

INI COTTAGES ON HILL TO BE RENTED TO PEOPLE FROM NORTH 100,000 More Tourists Will Come South Than Ever Before, Is Estimate. Macon and Savannah Anxious For Tourist Trade. Inquiries Already Being Received for Cottages. Other cities in this section. Macon and Savannah, notably, are talking of tile great possibilities of the South in the way of tourist trade during this winter. However, neither Macon nor Savannah is equipped to care for the tourists, but each city is planning to build tourist hotels. On account of the European war it is estimated that 100,000 additional tourists will come South tills winter. It is believed that all of Augusta’s ho tels will be filled early in the season and the only trouble expected is One which usually occurs during February and March each year, the hotels being unable to furnish accommodations for the great number who wish to come. Doubtless every cottage on the Hill that is for rent will be rented this year and Augusta will have the big gest season in her history. There will be a great many cottages lor rent, undoubtedly, and real estate agents are already receiving inquiries from prospective occupants. A considerable number of Augustnns rent their homes during the winter to tourists and move into the city, going back to The Hill in summer. The sand hills of Augusta are excellent for summer and winter resorts. The Macon Telegraph says in a re cent issue: “That the European war can be made to directly benefit Macon and Theatrical Notes ot Interest | j “Adele" Better Than Before. Blight lines, tuneful music charm ingly sung, pretty girls and stylish gowns, provide a combination that go a long way to make "Adele" the musical success which comes for a return en gagement to the Grand Friday evening only an entertainment worth while. Its advent in this city Is backed by the endorsement of every critic in the city of New York, who declares this production of the New Era Producing Company, Joseph P. Bickerton, Jr., managing director, the unqualified hit of the season. "Adele is in three acts and each one seems to outdo its predecessor in handsome settings. The book is by Paul Herve and the music by Jean Briquet, who gave to the American public that well known success, “Alma.” It was translated and pre pared for the American stage by Adolph Phillip and Edward A. Paulton. The story of this comedy is based on tile very elastic divorce laws of France. At the beginning, Adele Is found to bo the daughter of u manufacturer of canned goods, desperately in love with Robert, son of her father's business rival. Parental objections based on the business rivalry beset the two young lovers. Madame de Neuvllle, a widow, plans to have Adele marry Baron de Chantilly, with whom she is actually in love. She sees in hucii marriage with an immediate divorce afterwards, a way out of the trouble. Under the French law, parental objec tion carries no weight If the offspring onee weds. Her plan carries out, but not as siie wishes, for the baron soon finds after the wedding ceremony that he is in love with Adele and refuses to be divorced. This situation furnishes a new series of complications which develops an unlimited amount of hu morous scenes and creates a farce comedy bright and snappy that could stand alone without the aid of a sin gle bar of music. Same cast as before. Seats on sale Wednesday at 10 a. m. “Oh! Oh! Delphine.” Klaw and Erlangwr will present their big New York musical comedy suc cess, “Oh! Oh! Delphine," at the Grand Wednesday, Sept. 23rd. The book and lyrics are by C. M. S. McClellan; and the music by Ivan Caryll. The piece is founded on the French farce, "Villa Primrose," by Georges Berr and Marcel Guillemaud, the authors and composer of “The Pink Lady” and "The Little Case.” The plot tells the story of a young artist searching for a feminine model with a perfect left shoulder for his master piece, "Venus Rising from the Sea.” The comedy Is in three acts, elabor ately staged and costumed. EARLY MORNING GUTTING SCRAPE NEAR POSTOFFICE Negro Nearly Scalps Another Over a Fifteen Cent Debt on Campbell Street. A negro who gave his name to Dr. Jennings as John Wright was severely cut In the bead over tee right ear this morning by a negro called Dean. The cutting occurred almost In front of the Post Office on Campbell street, et about 8:30 o’clock, and grew out of an alterca tion regarding the matter of a fifteen cent debt. Dean was In the "Whlteway" shoe shine and billiard parlor on Campbell street when John Wright tame In and played pool.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. every other Southern city with good hotels, a mild climate and facilities for eereatlon, is a theory that will probably be brought to the attention of the chamber of commerce. "When the war broke out on the continent 100,000 Americans were found to be across the water. This was during tho summer months and the majority of them were in the mountains and northern cities. When winter comes it is estimated that an equal number is abroad in those sec tions or a more salubrious climate. That they will not be there this winter is assured. “Florida is already preparing for the greatest tourist season it has ever known. In fact it is considered doubt ful if the peninsular state has facili ties to take care of tho invasion >f wealthy pleasure and recreation seek ers who will commence to move South around Christmas time. "It has been suggested locally that Macon hotels and those business houses which would directly benefit by tourist business get together and start an advertising campaign just be fore the opening of the season with a view to getting a share o fthe peo ple who will come South. It Is de clared by Floridians that one goo-l tourist will spend the value of two or three bales of cotton, in many casos, for every week he or she is in town.” T. H. S.

While the enrollment on th« opening day is a little Ipnh than lint year In some of the schools, it is con siderably more in others. Altogether by the end of tho week it Is expected that all of the schools will be crowded to their eupaclty and some of the teachers will be asking for more room. All the children, however, will find room in one school If not the other. Same Course for Five Years. The children this morning were simp ly enrolled and given the lists of books they will be required to use this year. There are several changes in the course lids year over last, but the present course is adopted for the next five years.

Culpepper, Who a Year Ago Was a Member of Com pany B. is in Jail Charged With Larcency. Saturday night at about 10 o’clock, a certain citizen saw a man walking out McKlnne street currying one of the government rifles belonging to the armory. lie Immediately telephoned to Captain Thad Jowltt, of Company B, First Regiment of Iho 'Ktato N i tlonal Guard, and giTve him the name of the man, whom he had recognized as R. A. Culpepper, a former private in Company B. The informant then followed Culpepper out McKlnnlo as far as a house near tho upper canal and tllen lost sight of him. The rlflo was afterwards found In this house. Captain Jowltt meanwhile came up town to help locate the man and to Inform the police. Evidently Culpep per was not aware that he was sus pected of taking the rifle, for he soon appeared on Broad street nnd was ar rested and sent In by Policeman Mc- Millan. He readily confessed the theft, it Is alleged, but denied that ho hud ever taken any other rifles. He was report ed to have made a statement to certain parties saying that he had taken three other rifles which lie had burled some where for safe-keeping. He is now In the jail, charged with larceny from the house, but it seems of bringing on a good-tempered riot In which there would be a scrimmage over the relics of what had once been the boast of the possessor From the stock exchange the Idea spread and today nearly every town In the country observes the occasion - but In a different way.

Six teachers will bo required for the first grade alone." In the Woodlftwn school. the next largest, the opening day’s enrollment was 715. At the Davidson school tho enrollment is 430. or IS less than last year. Mr. .lordnn Sanford, principal, stated this morning, however, that he expects that in tho course of a few days his school will have even more seholns than lust year, and will again he crowded. Some of the children are out of town maybe and others neglected registering on the opening day.

AN APT EXPRESSION. Language is called the “mother ton gue,'* And that is why, I trow. Poor father doesn't get a chance To use It much, you know. Rowdyism Is almost always absent from the observance of the day and the spirit of fun prevails In cities where the day Is observed, the police have very seldom been called upon to take a hand In any of the proceedings of the day. While tho real observance of hat day la confined for the most part to the men of tho city, the ladles, too. take the hint. They are made to re alize that the aeuson has changed and the dainty little straw that was so becoming u few weeks ago Is now passed and should give place to some thing new. Thus ladles celebrate hat day, and while they may not become us boisterous as the men and boys, they nevertheless enjoy It and In ad dition are repaid by tho knowledge' that they are up to the minute and and have hud the choice of tho first showing of fall hats In the stores of the milliners.
