UN THURSDAY
NIGHT I HELP
; TO FARMERS
Nearly Two Inches Soaked
Well Into Ground. Causes
Resumption of River Traf
fic, Too.
The rain that fell in Augusta and
surrounding country Thursday night
did a great amount of good. The
precipitation here, as recorded by
Forecaster K. I). Emlgh, was 1.70
Inches, Macon reported 3.70 Inches,
and all other stations in this terri
tory reported a fall of more than an
Inch, except around Atlanta, where
the precipitation was slight.
Resume River Traffic.
The good effects of Thursday
night s rain reach beyond the farmer.
A rise will come In the river stage,
sufficient to resume traffic between
Augusta and (Savannah. It will he
recalled that for the past few weeks
the river has been considerably below
the normal stage for this season of
the year—ships could not reach the
wharf at Augusta on account of sand
bars below here. The resumption of
navigation between here and the
coast Is only one of the many good
results from the badly needed rain.
Blessing to the Farmer.
To the farmer of this vicinity It Is
;i blessing. The water, according to
the forecaster, soaked Into the ground
and will put It Into condition for
ploughing. The work on the farm in
the fall can now go on much better
than if there had been no rain. %
Thursday night’s rain decreased the
approximate 12-Inch deficiency In
rainfall lure since (he first of the
year and also the deficiency for the
month.
No, the storm which furnished Au
gusta’s rain, wasn’t sent through any
influences of the autumnal equinox,
Hi all. If you must believe what the
forecaster says. "Forget all about the
equinox." said Mr. Emlgh, when this
idea was advanced by the newspaper
man to him. "The equinox had noth
ing whatsoever to do with it.”
Originated in Southwest.
The storms at this season of the
year, which are regarded by some
people as being caused through some
mysterious influences of the equinox,
usually come from the West Indies.
The storm that la now passing off
did not come from the West Indies,
but originated in the southwestern
part of the country.
The forecast indicates clearing
weather. It predicts cloudy weather
and somewhat cooler for tonight with
fair weather Saturday.
HIGHER PRICES
LOOKED FOR
IN COAL
v
Present Prices Guaranteed By
Two of Augusta’s Biggest
Dealers Only Till November
First.
Two of the biggest local coal deal
ers were BHlteil Friday morning by
The Herald for their opinion as to the
probability of an advance in the price
of coal here this winter.
One said that it would he certain to
go up. possibly not more than a half
dollar a ton, at first; the other would
not say whether there would be an in
crease in the prlcp or not. although
the impression left by this dealer was
that there would lie an increase.
Present Prices.
Both dealers gave out the same
prices for coal in Augusta, namely,
SS.SO u ton for soft coal. 1N.50 a ton
for hard coal and $4.25 a ton for steam
coal, for city deliveries. Bellverles to
the Hill or North Augusta they stated,
cost 50 cents per ton extra.
They guarantee these prices until
November Ist.
It ts thus probable. Judging from the
statement of one of the dealers, at
least, that In Augusta will he advance
In the price of coal before the average
consumer usually buys 'his first ton
of coal for the winter.
The War Again.
As In other cases the far-removed
Kuropeen war is to blame. It isn't
because coal is being taken from this
countsy to Kurope, but because of
the great call for coal being placed
In South American countries and
what may he expected if the war ever
terminates. Consignments of small
orders like 150,000,000 tons for one
port in South America are somewhat
common and the price offered is auch
the dealers do not mind letting it go
Little Demand.
Locally there is little or no demand
for coat among the residents, but It is
expected within the next few weeks
Just what he ndvance will be can
not he determined, however, until
quotations are forthcoming from the
coal fields.
The price of any eommunlty'u coal
is governed as much by its accessi
bility to the coal fields as it la by the
price obtaining at the fields. Augusta
gets most of her hard coal from the
Pennsylvania mines and her soft coal
from Kentucky and Tennessee One
of the dealers interviewed stated that
the Pennsylvania coal is far superior
to the Clinch field coal
Termination of War.
One of the Mg factora in the ad
vance of coal may be the termination
of the Kuropean war when the natlona
abroad will have to have large ship
ments to make up for a deficit caus
ed by the idleness of the mines
abroad
While ihe coal men are themselves
frank to admit an Increase of be
tween 50 cents and SI.OO a ton. a num
ber of well-informed men state an ad
vance even greater than thta may he
looked for. Nothing will he done In
the matter, however, for some days
yet.

Every day we are asked by satisfied customers why and how we can sell shoes at
such an extraordinary low price. The answer is this: “On account of the several stores
operated in the South under our management makes it necessary for us to have a
buyer continually watching the Northern and Eastern markets for bargains in shoes,
regardless of quantity. For that reason alone, and on account of the large quantities
we buy for cash, we are naturally able to sell shoes at a less price than the average
merchant.” So why pay more?
