Talks of Peace Day.
In speaking of the day one of the
local preachers had this to say when
seen Thursday:
"The day Is one of prayer and sup
plication. Just so far as we pray we
are using a very blessed instrument
to bring about peace. But first of ail
our prayers must bring us conscious
ly into the presence of God. If we
fail in this, it were better that the
time had been spent in other ways.
In the services of Sunday it is impor
tant that our prayers should excite In
us some sympathy for those W'ho are
suffering; that they should quicken in
us some thoughts that will lift us
heavenward; that they should bring
us to the very throne of God. To this
end the pastors of all the Augusta
churches, of all denominations, will
observe Sunday. It will be one of the
greatest days in the history of the
country, and will tend to develop in us
that righteousness which exalteth a
nation."
to make an exhibit this year. There
are a large number of other exhibits
for the live stock department.
Mr. J. C. Gilchrist, a local dairyman,
exhibited some of his cows last year
with the result that he has had more
demands for that kind of cattle than
he could fill I)r. R. L. McKie ex
hibited Poland China hogs and he has
beqn unable to fill the demand. The
fair is one of the best advertising me
diums anywhere in this section.

HOES RUIN 2,000
11. HOSE EOS 756
Cut Brass Couplings and Noz
zles From Hose in Warehouse
Which They Sold as Junk.
Wednesday morning tho detective
department arrested two negroes, Ju
lian Pope and Joe Bates, charged with
stealing the brass fittings from the
fire hose in Warehouse No. 2 of the
Atlantic States Warehouse Co. Ju
lian Pope made a clean breast of the
whole affair to Chief Elliott, con
fessing the theft and implicating his
accomplice, Joe Bates.
The negroes completely ruined 2.000
feet of hose, half of the equipment in
the warehouse, cutting the brass noz
zles and couplings off, and tucking the
mutilated ends back into the folds of
the coils.
The robbery was discovered on
Tuesday morning, which was fire
hose inspection day, and immediately
reported to the police. Some forty
brass couplings and nozzles were
missing altogether.
At once the reports of the Junk
dealers in town were looked up, and
it was found that, on September 24th.
R. Steinburg, a junk dealer at 1212
Broad street, had received 25 pounds
of brass. The next day he reported
15 pounds of brass received. (On
neither day did he give a description
of the articles, though required by the
city code to do so.)
When the police visited Steinburg’s
place they found tho. fire-hose con
nections on his junk heap, and later,
from his description, were able to ar
rest the two negroes who had sold
him the stuff.
When Steinberg identified Julian
Pope at the barracks yesterday the
negro confessed, telling how he and
Bates contrived to steal the stuff. Ho
said that they reeclyed only 75c al
together from Steinburg for their loot,
which consisted of some sixty pounds
of brass.
The two negroes were committed to
jail Thursday morning charged with
larceny froi the house. No other
charges have been made in the case.

considerable number of folks, but the

too expensive. A few move each year
Just for the excitement.
This year there is a great deal of
moving among tho people who rent
houses, hut very little In tho huslners
