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 Castleberry & Wilcox $50.00 M.

Columbia county superior court will be convened on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. It Is expected that Judge B. F. Walker will preside for Judge Hammond. The other court officials from Augusta will go up tomorrow morning, while a number of Augusta attorneys will also be in attendance. On tomorrow there will be a mass meeting of the farmers of the county ; at Appling to take further steps In reference to the cotton situation. It will be recalled that at a meeting held in Harlem about two weeks ago reso lutions were passed calling for a larger meeting, to be held on Mon day, September 28th, the first day of court, to further consider the eitua | tion. | Judge E. H. Callaway, who made an address at the Harlem meeting, 1s al3o expected to make an address at Ap pling and the plan to urge a special session of the state legislature to pass laws prohibiting over a certain amount of acreage to be planted in cotton In 1915 will be considered further. The citizens of Columbia county at th„ Harlem mass meeting inclined to the idea of a state law to be passed , by a special session Qf the legislature as the only effective method. | The meeting will prove tremend i ously interesting no doubt and a large ' and representative crowd will be in j attendance. aughsttrotary 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.’ " DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

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. “CALL TO ARMS” SUNDAY FOR ST.

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. ,» Boys’ Suits, $3.00 up to $10.00; blue serge and fancy, all-wool, made snap py.
