FRIDAY, OCTOBER Z,
Vegetable Depot Idea Popular Wfith Farmers
Farmers Clubs Approve Vegetable
Depot Idea Most Enthusiastically
They Want a Place to Carry Their Produce So As to Come in
Direct Touch With the Consumer---Mr. Morton in Favor of
Going Still a Step Further.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Savannah Valley Asso
ciated Farmers Clubs held Wednesday in
the offices of the Planters Loan & Sav
ings Bank, the vegetable depot plan
which has been discussed considerably
in The Herald of late, was heartily en
dorsed. There are 13 clubs in the Sa
vannah Valley Associated Farmers Clubs
and they represent a large part of the
farming interests in the valley of the
Savannah. The action by the executive
committee of the Associated Clubs
shows that the farmers want a place
where they can come to town and sell
their produce without having to carry it
from grocer to grocer and then failing
to sell it, to peddle it from door to
door.
Dr. J. E. Green, president of the As
sociated Clubs, was Instructed to ap
point a committe which will, go into the
matter fully with the idea of establish
ing a market place, or depot, for farm
produce of all kinds.
The follow'!ng letter from The Her
ald was read at the meeting Wednes
day which brought forth the discussion
on the subject:
Augusta, Oa.. Sept. 30, 1914.
Dr. J. E. GTeen, President,
Savannah Valley Associated Fanciers
Clubs, City.
A large number of people have called
our attention to the fact that a vegeta
ble depot is greatly needed in Augusta
so that the farmers who bring their
vegetables and produce of every kind to
the city might find a more ready mar
ket. We understand that at present the
farmer has to sell to the green grocer or
peddle his goods all over the city. We
have been informed that the present
system is very unsatisfactory and have
recently given some publicity to the
plan of a vegetable or market depot.
We are very anxious to boost any move
ment which will work to the advantage
of the country producer and the city
consumer. In this matter The Herald
has thrown open its columns for the dis
cussion of the subject. We, ourselves, are
committed to no plan yet, judging from
the number of expressions favoring the
market or vegetable depot, we are con
strained to believe that it would be a
good plan. Will you kindly take the
matter up at the meeting today of the
executive of the Associated Clubs? Upon
their action, representing as they do
the great farming interests of the Sa
vannah Valley, our future course in the
matter will largely depend.
Thanking you and with kind re
gards,
Yours very truly,
THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
ULSTERMEN AND PEOPLE OF SOUTH
IRELAND ARE ENLISTING TO FIGHT
ENGLAND’S BATTLES ACROSS CHANNEL
Mr. Bertram Dales, Who, With Mrs. Dales and His Sister,
Have Just Returned, Talksof the Way the War is Affect
ing the United Kingdom.
Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Dales and
Miss Avice Dales, who arrived in the
city Wednesday after a two months’
visit to Ireland, England and Scot
land, had a splendid trip despite the
war, and talk interestingly of the
British Isles in war time. Mr. and
Mrs. Dales were on their wedding
trip and the party spent some time
with Mr. Dales’ and Miss Avice Dales’
grandfather in the North of Ireland.
"The Ulstermen and the National
ists are enlisting by the thousands to
fight the battles of the United King
dom,” said Mr. Dales, "and each will
make a loyal and brave soldier for
Lord Kitchener’s army. Before the
war the situation in Ireland, because
of the differences between the people
of Ulster and the south of Ireland
over the Home Rule question, was
acute. However, when Great Britain
called upon her people to assist in
the great war across the channel,
men of all parties and religions in
Ireland, as well as throughout all the
British colonial possessions, respond
ed with splendid enthusiasm.
"As for the Home Rule question, I
believe that it will be settled ami
cably by giving that portion of Ire
land Home Rule which wants it and
let the other portion remain as it is.
Confident of Result.
"The people of the United King
dom are absolutely confident of the
result. They know that England
was forced into the war because of
Germany violating Belgium’s neu
trality and they are going about this
war in a quiet, methodical, yet a de
termined, sort of way which can only
mean victory for their arms In the
end.
"We were in Scotland and England
a considerable time, as well as Ire
land, and everywhere there was the
same cool confidence. They do not
have as much to say in the English
newspapers about the war as in our
own American papers and there is
less excitement on the strets In Lon

Inability to pay tho fourth and final

there had been only 62 saloon men to

of more than 90 which have been In

Resolution Passed.
A resolution was passed thanking The
Herald for the letter and for Its offer of
co-operation and, after a discussion in
which every one present job j, the plan
was enthusiastically endorsed.
After the meeting Mr. W. W. Morton,
one of the leading dairymen and farm
ers in this section, stated that the meet
ing approved the plan of the vegetable
depot and went a step further.
“Our idea is for the farmer to have
a piace to sell everything he brings to
town,’ said Mr. Morton, “for instance,
It is hard for a farmer to sell peavine
hay here at all and the dealers sel this
western hay that is not much better
than oat straw’. I believe there should
be a man at the market depot to handle
the hay, oats and other articles that a
farmer wants to sell, and the dealers
ought to want to buy home-raised pro
ducts. For Instance, In Lexington, Ky. t
the plan works splendidly. In a lit
tle house close by the market a man has
an office. In It Is a telephone, a stove,
a desk, etc., and just outside are scales
which are accurate. He does the weigh
ing of all the hay, grain, etc., brought
to town and charges a small fee. He
keeps In touch with the market for hay,
grains, etc., and w’hen a farmer brings
up a wagon load of hay he knows which
dealer in the city needs hay and he di
rects him to that dealer. In Augusta
now it is hard to sell oats or hay unless
you buy goods from the man you w r ant
to sell to.
Sell Oats In Sheaf.
“It would be a splendid idea for a
farmer in this section to come to Au
gusta and sell oats in the sheaf by the
ton. Now’ be cannot do it. It would
mean so much to the farmer to get a
little ready money in such a way.
“1 am enthusiastic over the plan to
have a place to carry vegetables, fruit,
eggs, chickens, hams, etc., where there
will be people to come to buy it and I
certainly hope that by next spring the
market depot will be a reality. I am
glad that The Herald is giving publicity
to the movement, for it means much to
the farmers and to the city consumers.
It would be a splendid idea to have a
man located right near the market to
weigh all articles and to keep in touch
with dealers who would want to buy
farm products like hav, oats and all
other articles. The weights of the man
who has charge of the scales should he
accepted by any merchant in the city,
but it must be known, of course, that
he is an honest and reliable man."
don than in New York. In London
at night half of the electric lights on
the streets are out and the street
cars run with the shades drawn,
while powerful searchlights on the
tops of the talleßt buildings are
searching the skies for Zeppelin air
ships which have become a terror in
Belgium.
“Every inducement is given for
young men to join the expeditionary
forces. None except those physically
fit, between the ages of 18 and 35, are
taken and each employer pays the
salary of the volunteer as long as he
is in the war to his family and keeps
his position open for him. These vol
unteers are enlisting only for the du
ration of the war.
“While in Edinburgh, Scotland, we
were told that a large army of Rus
sians had passed through going to
France. It was said that they came
to Scotland on boat from Archangel
and that 60 trainloads of them had
passed through. The story of Rus
sians fighting in France was later de
nied by the British war office, but I
do know that on the particular rail
road over which these 60 trains were
reported to have passed there were
no passenger trains operated for 24
hours.
“In London we saw large numbers
of Canadian soldiers and throughout
England, Ireland and Scotland we
saw many thousands getting ready
to go to war. All seemed to be as
happy as if they were going on a
picnic.
"The question of food over there Is
under government regulation and If a
grocer raises his prices his place is
closed immediately. By declaring a
30 days’ moratorium at the beginning
of the war the danger of a panicky
situation was removed. Now every
thing is running smoothly and there
is not much to remind one that there
is a titanic struggle over in Frartee
In which the flower of England’s
army is engaged."

promptly on the first of October.

COAST LINT TO
HELP COTTON
COODS PLAN
Endorses New Movement,
Originating Among Wives of
Cabinet Officers in Washing
ton. Circular Letter Received.
Several copies of a letter, announc
ing- the hearty approval of a move
ment originating In AVashington and
supported by the wives of the cabinet
officers with a view of stimulating
the sale of cotton goods during the
week of October sth, have been re
ceived from the head offices of the.
traffic department of the Atlantic
Coast I.ine Railway Company of Wil
mington, N. C„ by Mr. Ij. r>. McCul
lum, commercial agent, at Augusta.
Mr. McCullum states that copies of
the. letter, which is reprinted below,
have been mailed to the agents and
representatives all over the five
thousand miles of railway owned by
the Coast IJne. He says the officials
of the company in Augusta will make
every effort to further the plan.
Following is the letter:
The Letter.
"A movement originating in Wash
ington, D. C., supported by the wives
of the cabinet officers and other ladies
has been inaugurated witli a view of
stimulating the sale of cotton goods
during the week beginning October 5.
"It is felt that such an effort will
have a fhr-reaehing effect in promot
ing the sale of the products of our
principal staple; that it will cause
merchants to huy increased supplies
and thereby stimulate the manufac
ture and the sale of cotton, and that
money which would otherwise lay idle
will thus be brought back into circu
lation.
“Such a movement ns indicated
above meets the approval of this com
pany, and agents and other officials
and employes are earnestly requested
to lend their hearty support to the
scheme and to secure therefor the
co-operation of newspapers, mer
chants and other business men in
their respective communities.
"This is one practical method of
assisting ourselves at a time when aid
is necessary and of developing a mar
ket for goods which we ourselves pro
duce.
"Please use every means in your
power to make this movement a suc
cess and urge assistance from your
local newspapers, your business peo
ple and your personal friends.”
This stimulation of the sale of cot
ton goods is a new plan which those
interested in it think will prove very
successful in creating a market for
the raw staple and thereby keeping
the price above the cost of production.
It is being taken up in many sections
of the country together with the buy
a-bale and other relief plans.
DARING BALKANS
CIRCUS FUTURE
Marvelous Riders Here With
the Great Ringling Brothers
Circus on Saturday, October
the Tenth.
When the Balkan states were In atm*
against Turkey and the newspapers
throughout the world were devoting
many columns of space to the battles
being fought in the Orient, it was fre
quently commented upon In America
that the inhabitants of the Balkan
states, and their habits and character
istics. were comparatively unknown to
the world at large. in fact Americans
today know less about the rugged
mountaineers of the Orient than they do
about any other foreign race.
On Saturday, October 10th this olty is
‘to be visited by a number of these in
teresting Orientals, some of whom were
actual participants in the recent war
fare. These visitors for monc of the
novel features of Ringling Brothers’ cir
cus. There are four men and three
women in the troupe and this Is their
first appearance before the public. They
left their homes In the Balkan moun
tains during the latter part of the win
ter to come to America to fulfill their
contract with the Ringling Brothers,
and this Is also their first visit outside
of their native land.
The Balkan troupe was discovered by
Alb«At Hodglnl, a famous European
horse trainer, who visited the Balkans
during the past winter to purchase
blooded steeds for the Ringling Broth
ers’ circus.
The riding feats of this troupe are as
daring as they are picturesque, most of
them having nev«* before been attempt
ed In a circus ring. Dangerous vault
ing, double somersaulting, and plrrout-
Ing feats are performed by these m4n
and women with an ease and grace that
has astounded the best riders In the cir
cus world. The act Is richly costumed
and the perfwmance Is accompanied
with Oriental music. Another notable
feature of the circus program Is the
massive new spectacle, Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba, which wld be pre
sented here with a rest of 1,250 charac
ters and a ballet of 300 girls.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
PLAN TO FORM KILPATRICK BAPTIST
ASSOCIATION AS TRIBOTE TO THE
DORIES 2 GREAT POEACHEHS
At Approaching Meeting of Hephzibah Association at Spread,
Ga,, Plan to Form New Associations From Hephzibah and
Georgia Associations to Be Discussed.
On Wednesday after the third Sunday
In October, which will he the 21st of
the month, the Hephzibah Baptist As
sociation will convene in annual session
at Spread Baptist church at Spread,
Ga.. on the Aogusta Southern railway.
The Hephzibah Association comprises
many churches and Its annual meetings
are always attended by large numbers.
Every Baptist church in Augusta and
Richmond county is a. member of the
association.
The Herald learns upon good au
thority that there will be an effort made
at the meeting to form a new associa
tion to be comprised of some of the
churches in the Hephzibah and some In
the Georgia association.
The Hephzibah association has
churches in portions of McDuffie. Co
lumbia, Warren, Jenkins and Washing
ton counties, and all of too Baptist
churches in the counties of Richmond,
Burke, Glascock and Jefferson coun
ties.
The Georgia association has churches
In portions of McDuffie and Columbia
counties and also in Lincoln, Wilkes,
Greene, Taliaferro and other counties.
The large number of churches in each
of these associations, which tend to
make each main body unwieldy, is one
of the reasons for the suggested addi
tional association. The distance del
egate go is another reason. It is a long
way from Harlem, which is in the Hep
hizahah association, to the lower por
tion of Jefferson or Burke counties,
Just as it is a long way from some por
tions of Golumbia county in the Geor
gia association to Green county. When

it is therefore a considerable task for
delegates to attend, many having to go
over 100 miles.
It is for the purpose of remedying this
and also to pay a splendid tribute to two
of Georgia's greatost Baptist preachers
that the Kilpatrick Asodation was sug
gested. Dr. Washington L. Kilpatrick,
the late pastor of the Hephzibah Baptist
church and the best beloved Baptist
minister in this section of Georgia, was
a power in the Hephzibah Association,
while Dr. J. H. Kilpntrlck, his brother,
was a power in the Georgl - Association.
Dr, J. H. Kilpatrick lived at White
Plains and he and his brother were sons
of u Baptist minister, DT. J. H. T. Kil
patrick, one of the first settlers of
Hephzibah. It is believed that the plan
for the Kilpatrick Association will prove
popular.
Tlie following is a list of the cairmcn

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT
Is it true that honesty went out of
fashion with hoop skirts? To admit
such would be to utter a very pessi
mistic pronouncement regarding our
twentieth eentury civilization. And,
yet. when one looks around and ob
serves the tendency of the times he is
inclined to the Idea that the world is
not getting nny better. Far back of
the hoop skirts, thousands of years
ago, Diogenes went in quest of an
honest man and couldn't find him.
You say, of course, Diogenes was a
cynic. Quite true, but there was not
then, nor is there now, any plethora of
real simon pure, unadulterated hon
esty in this vale of tears and all that
is here is sadly needed.
In presenting that powerful melo
drama, "Today,” the producers draw a
wonderful picture of the drift of
things toward the sacrifice of every
thing vital in the make-up of human
character in order to keep up with
(he procession, and yet there is a
bright side to the picture as illustrat
ed by Frederick Wagner, the stalwart
young man who to emerge
from bankruptcy with a good name.
Indeed, it Is refreshing to have such a
picture before the eyes of the people
of this country, for with thousands
going into bankruptcy each year in
order to avoid paylnt their debts,
without a regard win ver for their
creditors and with a |ire-conceived
Intention of "beating" the people they
owe, there is no telling what the na
tion is coming to. In some few cases
a resort to the bankruptcy court will
permit of a man who is hard pressed
to get some relief from his creditors
and give him a chance to start over
nnd pay them all In full. In some
eases men are forced Into bankruptcy
wtlly nilly. In any case, when they are
the right sort of men, they go to work
with the one idea in view of paying
every obligation, despite the fact that
legally they can refuse to do so.
Any man who chooses bankruptcy
as a relief from his honest debts and
who does not devote his life to paying
off those debts Is not honest. The
burglar, with searchlight in hand,
breaks in and steals, Is captured and
henceforth 1h known by number, but
this daylight robber, who gets your
goods an 1 never intends to pay, cart
steal from you while you are looking
at him. He enterß voluntary bank
ruptcy to escape paying and you are
helpless. Society never lets the burg
lar come back, but this other criminal
will soon 1)0 driving around you with
his limousine and not even say "eg
cuse the dust.” It’s all wrong, folkH,
it’s all wrong.
You can count on the fingers of one
hand the men you know who have
gone into bankruptcy and who have
tried to pay up- and you needn't
count the thumb either. The value of
such a play as "Today,” In the writer's
humble Judgment, Is to arouse public
opinion to such an extent that the
dead heat who appeals to the courts
to wipe out his honest indebtedness
with one stroke, because he doesn't
want to pay, will be held In such
contempt that he can never rise again.
Unfortunately, many times such peo
ple do not get their deserts in this
life and are therefore not held up as
examples to others.
As for the other side of the picture,
no one should say that Lily Wagner
was a true type of American wife.
There may he many other cases simi
lar to hers, but, after all, it must be
remembered that she married young
Frederick Wagner, for "his prospect.”
She probably thought she loved him,
but she didn’t, and when the tempter
came, attired in the latest Lady Duff
Gordon creation, she succumbed. That
picture Is decidedly overdrawn any
way. A woman of refinement, In or
der to get clothing her husband can’t
provide, may have a wealthy man
"friend.” hut she doesn’t make ap
pointments with men entirely un
known to her. When women reach
this latter state they are way down
the scale and are Hlrnply women of
the town.
"Today” wns powerfully acted. To
speak colloquially, It 1s a piay with a
punch. Miss Helen MaeKdlar and
Mr. George McQuarrle, who essayed
the leading roles, are great emotional
actors. The last scene, when the hus
band watts for the wife, when she
came and afterward, furnished the
most exquisite chance for the emo
tional actor and It was taken advan
tage of to the fullest.
Everyone fell In love wtt.li the father
and mnther-ln-lnw The d votlon of
Ihelr son was beautiful and the re
gard of Heinrich for Emma u id Emma
for Heinrich was tin- salt Fiat gave
savor to the play. Good o. 1 folks,
they are of a type that Is not all dead
yet.
One of the best traits of character
that any child can exhibit Is regard
for the old folks at home and Fred
erick Wagner wan the noble son of
noble parents parents whose nnhlllty
was not measured by titles or estates,
but better still, God's own noblemen.
To revert, the play was splendidly
staged and created a profound Im
pression. The gowns were of the
latest and there Is no question but
what "fine feathers make fine
birds.” T. J. 11.
