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. Pnco of cotton gono down, to wo roduco our Barbocuo Dinner from $1 to 75c. Every Saturday. Outeh John, at Cafo Metropole.
