Here, I’m all tea’d up with some of
that Maxwell House stuff, that would
Chero-Cola heart than yours, and would
make Dolly Madison or the Queen Reg
ent herself, glad that she was alive, and
would enable her to gratify her pride
by living in such elegant style in the
Maxwell House down at Brookfield as to
cause a genuine Sensation with hev
Wrappers, Crowns, etc.
An existence like this would certainly
be ideal, and with such a Jewell in the
home the master of the house could
smoke his Cincos, blow Rings, dream
peaceful dreams of Rose Dales and Hap
py Vales, look upon life through the
spectac.es of an Optimo, and imagine
that he owned Blocks of city buildings
with Stone fronts, all of which would put
a great Premium on his happiness.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION
AUGUSTA POULTRY ASSOCIATION
Expect to Have a Great Show at the Georgia-Carolina Fair
Grounds October 19th to 23rd, Inclusive, in CQnnection
With Fair.
The Augusta Poultry Association Is
mailing out Its 1914 premium lists to
exhibitors at the fall show in Augusta
and to poultry breeders all over the
country. Tho list is the finest and
most complete the association has ever
issued. Twenty-five hundred copies
are being sent out, some going to tho
farthermost points of the United
States.
The show this fall, which Will be
held, as usual, in connection with tho
annual Georgia-Carolina Fair, October
19-23, Is the fifteenth annual exhibi
tion of the Augusta Poultry Associa
tion, and will be held under the rules
of the American Poultry Association,
of which the Augusta association is a
member.
On account of the situation in this
country is affected by the European
war, a number of the largest poultry
shows have been canceled this fall. In
view of this and even the extra ef
forts that are being put forth here, the
poultry show at the fall fair this year
is expected to go unlimitedly beyond
the anticipation of the biggest of the
boosters.
The association, from its success In
the past, is on a firm financial basis
and this year asked for no contribu
tions to its prize list. In consequence
thereof all prizes to be awarded this
year—and there are more than last
year—will be given by the associa
tion, except one, a handsome Colonial
five-piece silver tea service, valued
at SIOO, offered by Mr. L. J. Schaul the
jeweler, to the exhibitor from Georgia
or South Carolina making the largest
entry. This is said to be the hand
somest trophy ever offered at a poul
try show.
The Judges Selected.
The judges selected and who have
consented to serve at the show are
the very best in the country. They
are Messrs. J. H. Drevensteda of Buf
falo, N. Y.; J. Harry Wolseiffer of
Vineland, N. J., and F. J. Marshall of
College Park, Ga. While Mr. Mar
shall is well known as one of the finest
poultry judges in the South, the other
two judges are among the most expert
anywhere, having judged the stows at
Madison Square Garden, New York,
and other big chicken shows ag well.
Mr. Drevenstedt is editor of the "Am
erican Poultry World," one of the
largest journals of Its kind in the
country.
The show this fall will be under the
personal supervision of Superintendent
H. W. Cameron, who Is also secretary
of the association. Mr. Cameron states
that he Is receiving from eight to ten
inquiries every day from exhibitors
everywhere. From this It would seem
that Augusta's show this fall will he
better and larger than ever before.
Mr. Cameron Is kept busy almost con
stantly answering Inquiries.
Now that the premium lists have
been published and will In the next few
days be in the hands of practically all
of Jfie leading fanciers In the country,
oumes will begin to come In fast. The
entry list closes Otcober 10th.
Last year there were something like
two thousand filrds exhibited and the
exhibition was regarded by men whose
words In poultry raising counted for
something as one of the very best ex
hibitions they had ever seen, and few

CLUB TO MEET
WEDNESDAY
Constitution and By-Laws to
Be Submitted; Committees to
Be Selected---Addreßs By Mr.
Frank H. Barrett.
The first regular meeting of the Ro
tary Club of Augusta will be held In
the main dining room of the Albion
Hotel next Wednesday afternoon at
2:30 o’clock.
President James M. Hull will pre
side.
The principal address will be made
by Mr. Frank H. Barrett.
The constitution and by-laws will
be submitted for adoption; standing
committees will be selected, and the
clay and hour of regular meeting will
be fixed.
Never has the birth of any organi
zation In Augusta been so auspicious,
so universally successful, as that of
the Rotary Club just formed In this
<Hty. Its members, thirty-nine In
number, each representing a certain
business or profession, are all live,
hustling men and It is a sure bet that
.the organization in Augusta will be
one of the best In the country.
A Real Rotarian.
An idea of what a member of the
organization is may be obtained from
what Russell F. Grlner, ex-president
of the International Association of Ro
tary Clubs, has to say In ‘‘The Ro
tarian” for August, 1914.
"A real Rotarian," he says, “Is a
safe man for anyone to do business
with. If he holds true to the ideals
of Rotary he Is the best man to do
business with. In Rotary there is too 1
much brotherhood, too much self-sac- !
rifice, too much of a willingness to
treat the world fair, for the stingy,
ail-for-self man to thrive. Such a
man would be unfomfortable and out
of place in Rotary circles.
''Rotary Is making men, it is a melt
ing pot and a cleansing crucible. Ro
tary is the Golden Rule of business
Its principles are those of the ohureli.
Its work Is to lead men out of them
selves Into the noblest channels of ex
istence. I know it is the truth, for
through Rotary I have been Instructed,
encouraged and uplifted. I do not be
lieve It takes an Inspired vision to
see the good of Rotary. It takes no
great flight of fancy to picture its ef
fectiveness In the building of civic
righteousness and the betterment of
business.
“What a heritage It is to be able to
say, ‘I had a part In the building of
the great Rotary structure.’ "

FATHER ID KEEP
WHITE CHILDREN
Divorced Mother Having Mar
ried Chinaman, She is De
prived of Her Two Offspring.
Some time ago two Augusta ladles,
who are well known for their good
worka among the poor, discovered
somewhere near South Boundary two
I very attractive and pretty white chll
; dren among a crowd of little negroes
with whom they seemed to he con
sorting in all friendship and amity.
I On making inquiries th ladies dis
covered that they were the children
of Madame Fong, a white woman who
had married a Chinaman, and that
i their father was James M. Martin, at
! 1130 Dugas street, Madame Fong’s
j former husband.
It appeared that a few years before
1 Martin and his wife were divorced,
each marrying again. At that time
the children were sent to live with
Mrs. Martin's mother out in the coun
try, but when the grandmother died
a short time after they were brought
[ back and had been living In the Chi
naman's house ever since.
The ladles at once set to work mak
ing arrangements to take the children
away from their mother and finally
succeeded in placing them In the Chil
dren's Home.
A few weeks ago James Martin,
their father, came to Judge Hammond,
asking to be allowed to take the chil
dren to his house, and after satisfying
the authorities that he was earning
Rood wages with the Georgia Rail
road nnd altogether competent to car*
for thechildron, Judge Hammond
granted him their custody.
Saturday their mother, Mrs. Fong
appealed to the court to have the chil
dren again taken away from their
father and given back to her, but Judge
Hammond refuSdu lu reverse Ids de
cision.

BEIIGTOIST
SEASON,SAYS
M'GEE
Assistant General Passenger
Agent of Southern Railway
Talks of the Coming Tourist
Business in the South. Under
stood Bon Air to Open Earlier
Than Usual.
An exceptionally big tourist season
is expected in Augusta this year on
account of the conditions in Europe,
where thousands of American tourlsta
have been accustomed to going in the
past. Just how big a tourist season
Augusta will have this winter 1* dif
ficult to tell.
Owing to the change in the situa
tion, which has been brought about by
the war, there will be many tourist
hotels In the South to open this year
somewhat earlier than heretofore, and
may remain open longer. There Is
not a doubt that they will all he
crowded most of the winter.
It is understood that the Bon Air
Hotel will open the season earlier than
ebfore. The season will begin about
the middle of December. The man
agements of all of Auguta’s winter
hotels. Including the Hampton Ter
raco and the Partridge Inn, are ex
pecting the greatest season In the his
tory of the business.
The Southern and Atlantic Coast
Line Railways, over which lines most
nt the tourists from the North come
to this section every year, are ex
pecting the best season they have ever
had.
Big Business for Hotel*.
Mr. W. 10. McGee, assistant general
passenger agent of the Southern Hall
way, Columbia, H. C., was in Augusta
yesterday and stated that he sees no
reason why the winter hotels In Au
gusta, as well as in all other Southern
resorts, shouldn't, do the biggest sea
son's business In their history. He
expressed his belief that the three
hotels In this city and North Augusta
would he over-crowded and that their
business thin year would begin sooner
than before.
"The tourists will simply swarjji
South thl* winter," said Mr. McGe#
to a representative of The Herald, who
approached him with the subject yes
terday, "becauso none will cure to go
to brave any of the warring countries
of Europe. I am told that about
$150,000,000 is spent, or lias been,
rather, by American tourists In Eu
rope every year. This money will
come South this season and it will
mean a bumper crop for the tourist
hotels of this section. We are ex*
pectlng to do a big business.”
It Is understood that there will be a
splendid demand for cottages and win
ter homes, especially on The Hill, this
season In fact a better demand than
ever before.
With her hotels overflowing and
her winter homes occupied with the
tourists from the North, many of
whom will come for the first time this
winter, Augusta expects to have the
finest tourist season In many a win
ter. ,»
