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 SALOON KEEPERS QUIT BUSINESS Eight or Ten of Them, it is Said, Will Not Pay Licenses to Do Business Remainder of This Year. Inability to pay tho fourth and final installment. amounting to $250. of the $1 000 license to operate near beer saloons, Is presumed to be the excuse ~f a number of them going out of business The license was due Octo ber first. L'p until Friday at noon there had been only 62 saloon men to take out city licenses out of a total of more than 90 which have been In npertlon. However, many of those that have not paid wilt pay, but at least eight or ten have decided to quit business for this year so It Is under stood. , The hack and dray licenses are also due but these licenses are procurable u p to the tenth. The near beer li- 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." censes are supposed to be paid promptly on the first of October. MORE ELECTRIC SIGNS INSTALLED IN AUGUSTA Many Have Been Put in Recently and Many Others Have Been Ordered. The merchants of Augusta are tak ing considerable Interest In the electric sign campaign of the Augusta-Alken Railway and Electrlo Corporation. In addition to the signs that were recently Installed for the M. D. Kelly Dry Goods Company, Oeo. W.

Hawllowaky, Quick Shoe Repair Works, two Stores: eleven more beautiful signs have been con tracted for, and will be In operation within the next few weeks. These additional signs will doubtless add greatly to the business district. Not much evidence of a business de pression In Augusta, remarked a Northern tourist, when the merchants are placing orders for novelty electric signs at this rate.

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. WADE HAMPTON FLOUR PEOPLE BUYING COTTON One Hundred Bales to Be Bought in This Territory. Bale Bought Thursday From One of Mr. B. 0. Wall’s Cus tomers. The "buy-a-bale" of cotton move ment keeps on moving. The manufac turers of Wade Hampton flour, a brand which Is sold by Mr. B. C. Wall, tho well known Augusts wholesale grocer, hav# agreed to purchase 100 bales of cotton In this territory at 10 cents per pound. One of Ihe bales was pur chased Friday from one of Mr Wall's customers. It weighed 517 pounds and ibu farmer received $51.70 for it. 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 GREAT WILD ANIMAL SHOW AT THE COMING GEORGIA-CAROLINA FAIR. Leon Washburn’s Mighty Midway Shows Has Lions, Leop ards, Tigers, Elephants, Bears, Hyenas and Other Wild Beasts. Human Interest always center about the brute creation. There is some thing fascinating to man in the wild animals that roam the forests and jungles of far away lands. The gi gantic elephant interests and attracts the small children and just so with the rest of humanity. Even in an un educated state these dumb animals are beautiful to look at but when they have been subjugated and trained to perform with almost human intelli gence interest in them becomes far greater and they are an educational feature in themselves. The Great Leon Washburn Mighty Midway Show which will be seen here as the star feature of the fair week of October l!)th to 24th, will have as its stellar attraction—vast trained wild animals arena, with many lionß, tigers, leop ards. bears, hyenas and other wild beasts, which have been trained to perform the most wonderful acts, which almost border on human Intel ligence.

FINANCE COMMITTEE TO MEET FRIDAY P. M. City Council Will Meet on Monday Afternoon Next. Last Afternoon Meeting of Year. The finance committee of the city council of Augusta will hold a meet ing Friday afternoon to consider a number of matters referred to It by council. On Monday afternoon coun cil will meet In the afternoon for the last time until next spring. There after meetings will be held at night throughout the winter. ever the association meetings are held on one side of the association territory 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.

BIGNB RIVERB HARBORB BILL Washington.—President Wilson to day signed the rivers and harbors bill, appropriating $20,000,000 to be expend ed under the direction of the wer de partment on projects already begun. 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.
