MONDAY, OCTOBER 5
WHAT A JMIAM WILL 1© W AUGUSTA IN A DAT
"DEBT PAYING DAY” IN AUGUSTA
STIES A POPULAR CHORD
Plan to Make Saturday, October Tenth, a Day on Which
Every One Will Pay Some of His Debts, Meets With Ap
proval. The Stories of What Three Dollars Did in Au
gusta Monday Morning. A Prize of $5.00 to the Person
Who Makes One Dollar Purchase the Greatest Number of
Articles in a Day.
The announcement in The Herald Sunday of the plan to have Satur
day, October 10th, as “Debt Paying Day" in Augusta met with popular
favor. If every one on that day will pay a portion of his debts with the
understanding that each person he pays pays some one else, and so on,
there will be an enormous amount of money paid and everyone will be the
happier for it. In this manner $5,000 could be made to pay $50,000 of debts
and $50,000 could be made to pay SIOO,OOO of debts.
The Rotary Club will take up the Idea at its regular weekly meeting
on Wednesday and it is believed will give the plan hearty endorsement.
It would be well for each business man to have a placard on his desk next
Saturday to this effect: “Every dollar paid to me today will be paid out
by me to those I owe.”
It is really astonishing what a dollar will do in a few hours in the
way of buying articles. Herald reporters started out Monday morning
with one dollar each to make purchases from Augusta merchants with the
understanding that each one from whom a purchase was made was to pur
chase something for not less than a dollar from some one else. The de
tailed accounts of the progress of those dollars will be found below and it
!• really wonderful what was accomplished.
$5.00 PRIZE FOR WINNER.
Now, in order to get up enthusiasm in the plan, The Herald offers
a prize of $5.00 to the person who makes a dollar buy the greatest number
of articles in a single day. Start out Tuesday morning with a dollar and
see how many articles can be pur-chased from the time the stores open
until they close. The cash sales that will be made by the merchants with
that one dollar will be found amazing. And if SI.OO can do so much in
purchasing articles just think what it can do in the way of paying debts.
If on next Saturday every man to whom debts are paid turns right around
and pays some ol’ his debts the debts liquidated will be tremendous and
every person who pays and every one who is paid will be feeling good.
Try to pay at least a portion of your debts on next Saturday and
when you pay a man insist that he pay some one else. Almost every one
owes money and if every one would pay just half what he owes on next
Saturday lie will feel much pleased with himself and with the world when
he goes to church Sunday morning. Be sure not to forget to pay some
debts Saturday, October tenth, which will be known as “Debt Paying
Day” in Augusta.
What One Dollar Did.
Here is what one dollar did in an
hour and three quarters’ time Monday
morning:
A Herald reporter went to J. B.
White and Company and enlisted Mr.
Gracey's support in the plan. The re
porter purchased a hat and let the
SI.OO apply on it.
Manager Claude Garrett of the
White clothing department went to
Stovall-Pace Company and bought
some men’s garters, letting the SI.OO
apply.
Mr. Daniel of Stovall-Pace went to
J. B. White and Company’s grocery de
partment and bought SI.OO worth of
groceries.
Manager Peter Drost of the grocery
department bought -1.00 worth of
chewing gum from the Verdery-Clark
Candy Company.
Mr. Van Dyke of the Verdery-Clark
Company- went to John J. Evans and
bought a box opener.
Mr. Walter Smith of John J. Evans’
store went to L. Sylvester & Sons and
bought some ties and socks.
Mr. Sym Sylvester bought some
fresh eggs from Castleberry & Wilcox
with that dollar.
Mr. Wilcox went to Goetchius Bros,
and bought SI.OO worth of drugs.
Mr. Joe Goetchius bought SI.OO worth
of socks from McCreary and Company.
Manager George Robinson of Mc-
Creary and Company will purchase an
article from some other store with
that dollar. The reporter had to stop
with McCreary and Company to get
the story of the progress of that dollar
properly recorded in Monday’s paper.
The story will be continued.
What Another Dollar Did.
Another Herald reporter was given
a dollar and told to go.forth into the
world and seek his fortune, on the
900 block.
He went first to Maxwell Bros, fur
niture establishment and entered gin
gerly and made his proposition. Mr.
Maxwell at once took the dollar in ex
change for a BRASS JARDINIERE,
intended to hold a flower pot (see foot
note), and immediately sent across the
street and purchased one shirt from
Dietz Bros.
The reporter traced the dollar thus
far without much difficulty.
Dr. Dietz forthwith bought a bottle
of something (price $1.00) from his
brother, Harry Dietz, the proprietor of
the Buffalo Case, next door.
Mr. Harry Dietz at length decided lo
send up to Band’s drug store and get
twenty Santaella cigars.
Dr. Land entered into the spirit of
the scheme with zest and intrusted
the dollar to the reporter to buy col
lars for him at Swan-Edwardg ( a lit
tle matter of three blocks).
These duly paid for and sent up to
Dr. Land. Mr. A. S. Edwards had to
rack his brain to think of what he
wanted for a dollar.
Three pounds of coffee from the At
lantic and Pacific Tea and Coffee Com
pany was what he determined on, and
the dollar, worn and frazzled by this
time, was passed on to Mr. R. B. Vin
son of the said firm, in return for said
commodity.
Mr. Vinson therefore sent for a dol
lar’s worth of socks from Karr-Seigler
Company, on the 1000 block. (It will
be seen that it was impossible to stick
to the 900 block.)
Mr. Selgler then paid it on account
to Marks Grocery Company, who in
stantly sent it to Lonnie Stothart in
payment for some cakes bought
through him from the Chesapeake
Baking Company of Baltimore. But
the dollar never got to Baltimore It
was combined with four other dollars
like unto itself and sent around to
Mulherln, Marks Company to reim
burse them for a pair of shoes.
It Is there now, In the cash register.
The reporter is going to get on Its
trail again Monday afternoon after
dinner and see what further adven
tures befall. That dollar did a lot of
good this morning Through its alngle
agency a lot of people have things that
they want Instead of things which they
did not want.
(Foot-note: For sale, one brass jar
diniere. Price SI.OO. On exhibition at
The Herald office.)
The Third Dollar.
Another reporter with one dollar
found that everywhere he went peo
ple didn't seem to know on the spur
i of the moment what they needed a
dollar’s worth of. Hundreds of things,
more or less, were suggested by the
impatient reporter, but they had plen
ty- of them all. Sometimes he would
have to bid the first place he tried a
fond good-bye and race over to some
other store with the clerk and the
dollar from the place where the las#
purchase was made. Maybe he would
experience the same vexing conditions
at this second store and would have to
try a third before he could find the
place that knew right off the reel
where they could spend a dollar and
what they could inextravagantly spend
it for.
He got a late start, but here’s what
he did:
The Wise Dry Goods Company was
the beginning point. There he bough:
for himself a dollar shirt, size fifteen,
and from there, in company with one
of the clerks, he traveled down the line
to Murphy & Farrar, where the dollar
was spent for a big bottle of ink for
the dry goods company.
The dollar spent at Murphy & Far
rar’s was taken to the Trowbridge
Hardware Company on the other side
of the street, where a dollar lock was
bought by Mr. Farrar for the new
stand into which they are now mov
ing.
The dollar spent at Trowbridges
was handed to an employe of the store
who went with The Herald man to
Rice & O’Connor shoe store to buy
four pairs of 25 cent socks, not to put
in stock, of course.
A man from Rice & O’Connor’s was
sent In company with this reporter to
McElwee & Thomas dry goods store,
where socks again were bought, this
time a dollar’s worth wholesale.
McElwee & Thomas sent one of their
clerks with the reporter out to pur
chase two dozen spools of cotton, and
here a little trouble was encounteroi.
Some had the cotton but couldn’t pos
sibly think of a way of spending the
dollar, while others were “just out”
of the article desired. Finally, after
many wanderings and about thirty
minutes’ time consumed the spool cot
ton w-as located at the J. A. Mullarky
dry goods store and there purchased.
Mullarky’s agreed to spend the dollar
with someone else and the money was
left to he called for when the reporter
was to resume his dollar-buylng Jaunt
at 3 p. in.

no DROWNED
AND TWO SAVED
/ •
John Blackmond and Buck
Warren, Negro Ferryman,
Meet Untimely Death Sunday.
Will Ergle and Percy Simp
kinson Had Narrow Escape
From Over-Turned Batteau.
John Blackmond, a white man of
about 28 years of age, of Brown’s Hill,
S. C., and Buck Warren, aged 27 yenrs,
the negro ferryman at San Bar Ferry,
were drowned in the Savannah river
Sunday while the latter was paddling
a batteau, containing Blackmond anil
J. W. Ergle, a barber of this city, and
Percy Simpldnson, of Beech Island.
Ergle and Simpldnson were saved.
The ferryman. It is said, was en
gaged In taking the three men from
the Georgia side of the river to the
Carolina side, when in midstream
Blackmond, it is claimed, rocked the
boat until it was sufficiently flooded
with water to sink. It is alleged that
he had been drinking.
Mr. Ergle states that the account
of the drowning as printed in the
morning paper is misleading: that lie
walked alone to Riverside Park, down
the river just this side of the ferry,
and from there to the ferry, where be
for the first time met Blackmond and
Slmpkinscn. He says they were
brought over by the ferryman from
the Carolina side and for some reason
went back in the batteau with him.
He states that he doesn't know them
and did not speak to either of them
the entire time.
Mr. Ergle is game warden for Aiken
county and his mission down the river
Sunday, he says, was in that capacity.
He says he had information that the
law was being violated and that when
he got to the ferry ho hoard shots on
the other side, which he believed to be
hunters shooting.
Blackmond was an employe of Mr.
Broom at Brown’s Hill, and is said to
have been spending Sunday on Beech
Island. Simpkinson works for Mr. J.
E. Andrews on Beech Island.

SCHMIDT WAR AN
AWFUL CHUMP IN
Of His Baseball Career in tho
Big Leagues, Thought Fred
Tenny. However, Stallings
Didn’t Think So.
Now York.—"He enn’t get out of his
own way.” The speaker was Fred
Tenney, his subject a big awkward
chump of a fellow named Schmidt
and the listener eno George Tecutnseh
Stallings. The time was last spring
and tHo place, National League Park,
in Boston.
"This big boob never will never
learn to be a ball player,” said Tenney
to the manager of the Boston Braves.
’’Get somebody else who Ims a little
chance to develop. It'll be wasted
time if I try to imake this elephant a
fir.st baseman.”
Stallings told Tenney to do the best
lie could, and said he was confident
Schmidt would turn out all right if he
only had plenty of the proper kind of
opportunity. Big Schmidt -Charles J.
is the first part of ids check signa
ture—-was 27 years old last July, lie
Is a Baltimore boy but never lias
played professional bull in ills homo
town.
When Stallings was manager of the
New York Yankees, hack In 1910,
Schmidt was one of ids recruits, lie
was noted for Ids bull strength -one
of ills tricks was to hold out ills arm
horizontally and lot little Jack War
hop “chin up" on it—but the fans got
to know him as more of a bullhead,
or rather a bonehoad, from glimpses
they got of him whilo subbing for
Hall Chase at first base during a short
ternn while Cluise was on tlie Injured
list.
As s Minor Manager.
It will bo recalled how Htnllings lost
hts job with the Yanks and then got
lined up as a minor league manager
in Buffalo. He took Schmidt along
with him when tho latter wuh uncon
ditionally released. Stallings landed
Ids position as manager of tho Boston
Braves a year ago last spring. He
tried to get .Schmidt from Buffalo but
was unable to until near the close of
the 191.7 season. When he did get tho
opportunity ho called Bchmldt to Bos
ton. lie supplanted weak armed Hap
Myers at the first sack and lumbered
through the remaining games of tho
schedule.
Stallings was assigned to train
Schmldy. Ho did not like his Job,
however he undertook to do so in or
der to assist Stallings.
Tenney thought Schmidt was too
old to learn any more—27 Is a pretty
ripe ago for a ball player—and he al
so balked because of the apparent
natural physical clumsiness of the gi
gantic German. He wanted Stallings
to give hPm Homebody else to make
Into a first baseman, which Stallings
would not do.
Worst Yet.
We remember Schmidt on his very
first visit to tho Polo grounds tlsiH
year. Tho concensus of opinion was
that Schmidt was about the worst, ball
player ever seen In tho big leagues.
Ho couldn’t catch thrown balls very
weil, was a poor thrower himself, was
Blow to shift around In the field,
couldn't handle hatted balls, was a
clumsy and blundering base runner,
and was a weak hitter.
The last views of Schmidt hero pre
sented him oa a star of the calibre In
the games against the Giants. Those
who saw him could not boilevo he was
tho same Schmidt that cluttered up
(tret base earlier In the season.
Schmidt has become a fine hitter, a
keen and Intelligent liiiho runner, a
good man on both thrown and batted
balls, a good thrower himself, and best
of all, a noisy, peppery, hard working
rascal who Is constantly helping tho
rest of the men to keep their "heads
up.”
A Stsr Now.
Schmidt is a star now. Fred Tenny
has made him one. But who shall say
that George Stallings does not deserve
as much credit ns Tenney for this big
fellow’s advance? Tenney developed
him, yes, but iie would not started on
the task If Stallings had given In to
Tenney's Judgment. Tenney brought
out the possibilities In Rchmldt, but
mailings "saw them first.”
Hebrnldt’s chief virtue now Is hIH
pretty good performance every task
that comes his way, Ills making of
practically no mistakes. He does not
break Into headlines often as tho hero
of a game, yet who can remember hav
ing read of a game being lost by the
BraveM because of Schmidt’s failure
In anything? Hardly any fans outside
of Boston even know that his first
first name Is Charley. It Is not so
much his fine work as his lack of bad
work that makes Schmidt a great
