SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
AUGUSTA HIDE GUQUS WILL ME
POPULAR ATTRAGTIOIATFAIR
Announcement That Sibley Manufacturing Company Will
Make Exhibit Which Will Prove Big Attraction at the
Georgia-Carolina Fair.
The story of The Herald of Thurs
day with reference to an exhibit at
the Georgia-Carolina Fair for the Sib
ley Manufacturing Company of goods
manufactured by that mill has met
with the heartiest commendation from
the Fair Association officials, other
cotton mill men and the people gen
erally.
While only a few mills in this vi
cinity are equipped to make the va
rious classes of goods that the Sibley
«an make, still some of them can and
there will probably be other exhibits
from cotton manufactories at the
fair.
The Fair Associafcion officials are
delighted with the idea of having Au
gusta-made cloth at the fair and will
provide generous space for it. It will
be one of the best exhibits of the en
tire show and will be entirely novel
in this community.
Then, too, the question of cotton
bagging being made by the mills of
the South strikes a popular chord.
As stated in The Herald of Thurs
day, what Augusta cotton mills can
make will prove a revelation to the
people of this section of Georgia and
South Carolina and in the future they
will no doubt ask for Augusta-made
goods in every instance. Of course,
cloth of the finer texture is not made
here, but great quantities of cloth
which are made in Augusta could be

SECRET ORDER 10 “BUY IL BILE"
That is the Suggestion That Comes From Blackville---Let
Every Successful Candidate Buy a Bale of Cotton.
The Herald's correspondent was in
terviewed yesterday by many of the
city’s prominent business men, who
requested that I make the suggestion
through my several papers, that every
court official and every secret order
purchase one or more bales of cotton
at ten cents per pound; said action,
which if carried out, would not only
go to demonstrate the loyalty and
patriotism in the buy a bale move

FOR THE FALL

Meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Savannah Val

to Be Held Wednesday
There will be a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Savannah
Valley Associated Farmers’ Clubs on
Wednesday next at noon in the office
of the Planters Loan & Savings Bank
to select judges for the agricultural
exhibits at the coming fall fair.
It Is expected that other Important
business will be transacted.
The executive committee will take
up the question of a market, or vege
table depot, in Augusta for country
produce and the discussion of this
subject will no doubt be interesting.
The farmers of this section of Georgia
and South Carolina are undoubtedly
In favor of a vegetable depot where
their produce can be sold direct to
the consumer and resolutions favoring
the idea will probably be passed.
ANOTHER LE DOYEN,
NEPHEW, IS CHARGED
WITH LARCENY
Committed to Jail Here Friday
For Stealing Suit of Clothes
Belonging to Policeman.
Tony LeDoyen, a nephew </ the
Alfred LeDoyen who was arrested in
Little Rook, Ark., on Friday, was sent
into the barracks here the some day
by Detectives Roney and Horn, charg
ed with larceny from the house.
As the case against his stands, he
geoured a room for the night at a
house on the 600 block of Broad Street,
where hoards Policeman John P.
Weatherabee. and took a suit of
clothes belonging to Officer Weath
ersbee, which he sold to parties in the
city.
Associated with him in the ease is
another boy named Keeling Fitch, who
was arrested during the investigation
as an accomplice, and who confesses
to helping LeDoyen dispose of the
slothes.
The two were committed to Jaii to
await sTlr.i.

North and shipping it back here would
be eliminated.
The Augusta coton mill men be
lieve that the idea of displaying Au
gusta-made goods is a splendid one
and some of them will probably fol
low the Sibley Mill’s example.
Cotton Bagging.
One cotton mill man said that he Is
greatly in favor of having cotton used
for bagging instead of .lute, but says
that jute is still too cheap. .Tute has
gone down rather than up, owing to
the India trade being open and the
enormous quantity of jute which is
already in this country.
He says that cotton can he treated
to resist the acids in fertilizer and
used to much greater advantage as
sacks than jute, and that fertilizer
costs about one dollar a ton more in
cotton bags than In jute, but that the
farmer should see the advantage of
cotton sacks, which can he used ten
or twenty times over, and not to con
tinue to buy jute and save the dollar.
He pointed out advantages of cot
ton bagging for cotton bales, and said
that the fire risk is almost eliminated.
Jute, being fuzzy, catches fire readily,
and sets fire to the cotton beneath
through the holes; cotton bagging, be
ing close!, woven, is very difficult to
set afire and protects the loose cot
ton underneath.

A few days after Mrs. McClain was
in Augusta, and acocrding to her own
statement, saw the "dead” cow with

story. She said he had sold the cow
and kept the money.

At this partleulHr time when the

ARRESTED ON 18
FORGERY
CHARGES
Alfred A. LeDoyen, Formerly
Augustan, Caught Friday in
Little Rock, After Dodging
Police From South Carolina
to Wisconsin.
Alfred A. DeDoyen, of this city,
formerly a traveling salesman for the
North Augusta Box and Crate Com
pany, was arrested Friday In Little
Rock, Ark., on the last of a long series
of forgery charges. LeDoyen has been
trailed from South Carolina, through
a number of Southern and Middle
Western states aH far as Wisconsin
by n line of bogus checks which he
is alleged to have cashed in cities
through which he passed. Inquiries
have reached the Augusta police de
partment since the first of July from
a dozen or more cities asking aid In
locating LeDoyen. Charleston and
Columbia, S. C„ Memphis, Tenn., An
niston, Ala., Columbus, 0,, and Mil
waukee, Wis., are among the cities
whose banks claim to have been
“touched.”
Simple Methods.
His method of procedure Is said to
have been simple. Having been a
salesman for the North Augusta Box
and Crate Company, he would go to a
city which he had been accustomed
to "cover" in the past, visit some firm
whore he was known as the com
pany’s representative, and begin by
soliciting business. He would then
casually mentio:. the fact that his ex
pense check had not arrived, and. It
is alleged, ask the company to en
dorse his draft on the home firm, to
avoid delay, which they would readily
consent to do. Long before the check
could he returned as worthless, Le
llnyen would he In pastures new.
His drafts are said to have been all
for sumH varying from S3O to SIOO.
As His Wife.
In Milwaukee It Ih understood that
he Is wanted under the white slave
la.w as well "s for forgery. Ho Is re
ported to have turned up there about
three weeks ago, neatly dressed, In
(he company of a woman whom he
Introduced as his wife. He went to
Mr. Dan Donahoo, formerly of Au
lt nut a, now with the Crosby Steamship
* ninpany, of Milwaukee, and asked
him to cash a cheek for $98.00, which
Mr. Donahoo did out of his own
pocket. Mr. Donahoo afterwards found
out about the woman, and knowing
that LeDoyen’s wife was In Augusta,
became suspicious of the check as
well and notified the Milwaukee po
lice and white slave agent.
Just before this episode, LeDoyen Is
reported to have gone to Mr. M. Bres
nuhan, formerly of (he Augusta Brew-
Ing Company, now with the Brewing
Company In Memphis, Tenn., and
asked him to cash a check for several
bundled dollars. Mr. Bresnahan, not
wishing to take the risk, put him off
on some pretext, and telegraphed the
I North Augusta Box and Crate Com
pany to know If the check would be
honored. When the answer came hack
that It would not, LeDoyen was no
longer to be found In Memphis. The
next that was heard from him was In
Milwaukee.
In Eighteen Cities.
lie will be tried altogether In eigh
teen cities, where forgery charges are
held against him. Little Rock, where
ho wus arrested, will have the first
claim on him.
Mr. B. M. Youngblood, manager of
the North Augusta Box and Crate
Company, stated that two bogus
checks had been drawn on him per
sonally by LeDoyen, but that, having
luckily escaped losing the money in
both Instances, he would not take
part In any of the prosecutions.
LeDoyen was well-known In Au
gusta, where he was at one time con
nected with the fire deportment, and
later ns salesman with the now de
func Augusta Crate Company. He
has not been In the service of the
North Augusta Box and Crate Com
pany for more than twelve months.
