CATCH THE SPIRIT ‘DEBT PAYING
OAY.’EQINTOITWITH ENTHUSIASM
Pay as Miny Debts as You Can Saturday, October the 10th
and Mike Every One You Pay Promise to Pay Some One
Else. The Story of the Progress of Two Dollars Continued
From Monday.
Tlv continued stories of what happened to two of the dollars that
were sent out Monday morning' in a purchasing campaign appear below.
The herald has demonstrated just what a dollar will do in a few hours
time 'll the way of making purchases.
,£°7' , wllat , a dollar will do in the way of purchases is wonderful and
it illustrates what a dollar will do in the way of paying debts. Next
Saturday, October 10th, is debt paying day in Augusta and make up
your mind to pay as many debts as you can. See to it that the man you
pay agrees to pay some one else and if every one pays a certain
*»rwunt of what he owes the day’s business will be the most satisfactory
In the history of Augusta.
It is a real pleasure for people to pay those they owe, for the man
Who pays and the man who is paid feel so much better than they did
before. There is a great deal more of the milk of human kindness in
people who do not owe anybody or who are not owed, than in those either
perpetually in debt themselves or whom almost everybody owes Piv
as many of your debts Saturday as you can and you will sleep better
Saturday night than you have slept in months. Catch the spirit of the
debt paying day. When Herald reporters went to Augusta merchants
on Monday with the proposition to spend a dollar if they, in turn would
agree to spend a dollar with some one else, they caught the spirit of the
affair at once and entered into the affair with enthusiasm
The Rotary Club will take up the question of debt paying day at its
meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The Second Dollar.
The second dollar referred to yes
terday, after partaking of a hasty
lunch, returned to Mulherin, Marks &
Co., where his dollar was reposing in
the cash register, and, Mr. Mulherin
paid a bill of $1.40 to Bowen Bros.,
for two boxes of Leader shells.
Bowen Bros, was pleased to get the
bill paid and at once sent the dollar
to Dr. Forest E. Newhall to discharge
a dollar obligation for shoeing a horse.
This gave the reporter an idea. He
would no longer ask people to SPEND
the. dollar, but rather to pay a bill for
something already bought—an idea
more in keeping with the object of
the movement, which was meant to
be a prelude to ‘‘Debt Paying Day,”
and not a conspiracy to make people
squander their cash.
Dr. Newhall paid a bill at Trow
bridge Hardware Co., for tools, nails,
etc., with the dollar.
They in turn paid Murphy & Farrar
$1.45 for stationery, who passed $1 on
to Von Kamp, Vaughan & Gerald for
oil cloth.
Von Kamp returned the favor with
interest, sending back $7.40 to Mur
phy * Farrar, whereupon they paid
$2.75 to O’Connor & Schweers for a
step ladder.
How Murphy & Farrar Came Out.
It will be seen by the way, that
Murphy & Farrar, though they hbd
to pay altogether three bills Monday,
frame out very much to the good, hav
' ing paid into them each time a bigger
bill than they paid out. It will be
like that in a great many cases on
Saturday when everybody gets in the
game. At the same time nobody will
need to pay out more than they re
ceive if they don’t want to; there will
be no collectors.
O’Connor paid a bill for $1 to S. E.
Marston, corner Mclntosh and Ellis,
for some harness.
PILCHER DOG ORDINANCE ADOPTED
AT LAST BY THE CITY COUNCIL
After Discussion It Passed With Only Four Votes Against it.
Merchants Protest Against Itinerant Venders. Want
Them to Pay License.
The Pilcher dog ordinace passed
city council Monday afternoon after
some considerable argument. The or
dinance, at the request of Council
man R. E. Allen, was read in full be
fore the argument on It started. This
ordinance provides, among a great
many other things, that dogs found
on the streets without tags and col
lars, which are provided by the city
sheriff on the payment of one dollar,
shall he Impounded and unless re
deemed in five day* Ihey are to be
killed.
The ordinance also provides that the
lot inspector* of the city Teport all
dogs that are without collars and tags,
the same to be Impounded, and, if nec
essary, the mayor may appoint spe
cial dog catchers to collect from the
city a fee of 50 cents for each dog
•they find without collars and tags.
This latter feature of the ordinance
Mr. Allen seriously objected to. He
said that In times past in Augusta
there was an ordinance similar to the
present one and that Irresponsible dog
catchers caught canines on the street,
took off their tags and collars and
collected 50 cents from the city and
then sold the collars and tags. How
ever, when put to a vote the ordinance
ASTHMADQR GUARANTEED
TO RELIEVE ASTHMA
"I have arranged with T. G. Howard's,
Store No. 1, Broad and Jackson Sts.,
Store No. 2, 710 Broad street, that every
sufferer from Asthma, Hay Fever or
Bronchial Asthma In Augusta can try
my treatment entirely at my risk," Dr.
Rudolph Behlftmann announces. He says:
"Buy a 60-cent package of my Asthma -
dor or Asthmador Cigarettes, try it, and
If it doea not affcrd you Immediate re
lief. or If you do not find it the beet
remedy you have ever used, take it back
to T. O. Howards and they will return
your money, cheerfully and without any
question whatever. After eeelng the
grateful relief It has afforded in hun
dreds of cases, which had been consid
ered Incurable, and which had been
glvrfn up In despair, I know what It will
do. lam so sure that It will do the
same with others that I am not afraid
to guarantee It will relieve Instantan

-•dvrflon* livtnr elsewhere will be sup
under the same guarantee by their
ioch ' druggist or direct by Dr. R. Schlff
<nann, Bt. Paul, Minn.
And there the dollar rests. The
thing had become so simple that it
was merely a question of walking,
and the reporter, having a high re
gard for his profession, did not wish
to encroach on that of the postman.
(If there were only a Reporters’
Union, he never would have paid any
of those bills).
But as it was, he paid nine, all with
the same dollar, find has no doubt but
that he could have paid every bill In
town eventually and come back to his
starting point, leaving a clean sheet
behind him, with nobody owing any
body else anything.
(Foot note: The brass jardiniere was
bought first thing Tuesday morning
by Mr. W. W. Stovall, of Stovall-Pace
Company, so that the reporter at any
rate has the dollar he started out with.
He is thinking of spending it frivol
ously, and does not want to know
what becomes of it afterwards).
The Mullarky Dollar.
The dollar left by one of the re
porters at J. A. Mullarky's dry goods
store at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon,
when he returned to the office to
record the rounds of his coin, w T as
taken by Mr. Verdery, of the Mullar-
Ky store, who went in company with
the reporter later in the afternoon, to
Andrews Brothers dry goods store to
purchase a dollar’s worth of anything'.
As spool coton was “marked down”
for Monday, Uie purchase consisted
of the cotton atid some straight pins.
Mr. Jim Andrews, with the re
porter, set out to spend the dollar,
and wound up at Von Kamp's, where
more spool cotton was bought.
The dollar speht at Von Kamp’s
was in turn sent from Von Kamp’s to
Stovall-Pace & Co., to buy a dollar’s
worth of pencils.
The money was left with the Sto
vall-Pace & Co., who agreed to spend
it with the Richard’s Stationery Co.
of Mr. Pilcher carried overwhelming
ly, only four votes being cast against
It and these were by Messrs. Allen,
Boyce, Woodward and Moore.
Delegation Prom M. & M.
A delegation from the M. & M. As
sociation, represented by Mr. E. G,
Kalbflelsch, appeared before city
council with a request that an ordi
nance be passed charging itinerant
or non-resident dealers of all kinds of
goods a license of $l6O for ten days
and $250 for more than ten days. It
was pointed out that some dealers in
ladies' coatsults, men's suits, etc., have
come to Augusta during the busiest
season and sold as much as $15,000 to
$20,000 worth of goods, paying neither
rent nor license. It is said that they
come at a time when Augusta mer
chants should he doing the best busi
ness of the entire year.
The ordinance was not adopted
Monday, but on motion of Council
man Kent went over to the next meet
ing so that members of council may
familiarize themselves with Its pro
visions.
The Ordinance.
Here Is the ordinance:
“An ordinance to amend that part of
Section 4, relating to transient and
non-resident dealers of an ordinance
entitled ‘An ordinance to fix the an
nual and specific taxes and license of
the city of Augusta on business occu
pations and professions for the year
11*14, and to provide for the collection
of the same.’
"The city council of Augusta hereby
ordains:
"That Section 4, relating to tran
sient and non-resident dealers be
amended to read as follows:
"That each and every transient or
non-resident person, before entering
into any retail business of any de
scription, selling or offering to sell
any goods, wares, merchandise, no
tions or novelties of any character
within the corporate limit* of the city
of Augusta, shall make application to
the collector and treasurer of said city
for a business license, and In such
application designate the premises
where said business is intended to be
carried on.
"That upon each and every transi
ent or non-resident dealer in all char
acter of goods, wares, merchandise,
notions or novelties, there shall be a
a tax or buslnesa license of one hun
dred and fifty ($150.00) dollars for
ten days or less, and a tax of two hun
dred and fifty ($250.00) dollars ex
ceeding ten days.
"That any person violating this or
dinance shall, upon conviction, be
subject to a fine of one-hundred ($100)
dollars for each day of such violation,
or Imprisonment upon the public
works of the city of Augusta, not to
exceed ninety days, either or both in
(he discretion of the recorder."
Plant 18,000,000 Acres Oats
in South by December and
Cotton Will Go to 10 Cents
(Continued from Page 1.)
and reducing the acreage next year.
If the cotton fanner will plant 50
per cent of his available cotton acre
age, or about 18,000,000 acres, in oats,
(plant them deep with a drill to pre
vent freezing) he will have solved
the problem of crop reduction. As
soon as this fact is officially known
through the department at Washing
ton, the value of cotton will immed
iately respond to the new condition
and will advace at once to 10c or 12c
per pound.
With the equipment already on the
farms, supplemented by a few grnln
drills, this can easily be done by Dec.
Ist, at very small cost. By this pro
gram next year’s shortage in cotton
production would become known soon
enough to allow the farmer to sell the
cotton he is now holding at good
prices.
Another factor in favor of planting
oats is the quick returns they would
furnish as they could be marketed
early next summer. This is a vital
item as the south is not only suffer
ing from restricted credits on account
of the war, but, also because sho is
selling her principal product, cotton,
at less than cost.
Approach any farmer on thiß sub
ject and he will tell you that the
south is adapted to raising oats, and
that on eighteen million acrcß a pro
duction of twenty-five bushels per
acre could be reasonably expected,
which would be a total of 450,000,000
bushels.
He will also tell you that it would be
utterly impossible to market oats in
this volume for the cash at reasonable
prices. He fs Intelligent and poßted
on theproduction end, but knows noth
ing of marketing this product. For an
answer let us examine statistics. 1912
was tlie year in which maximum con
sumption of coarse grain was reached,
the total productitn of corn and oats
was 4,500,000,000 bushels, with a very
small export business. This crop
was marketed and consumed at good
prices with practically no surplus re
maining. The government's estimate
on this year's crop is approximately
one -.billian bushels less, so it Is very
evident that 450,000,000 bushels raise i
in the south would not even make a
large crop. In addition to this Eu
rope is going to Import large quanti
ties of coarse grain to feed her horses
used in the war. Based on the above
conditions, coarse grain will sell for
high prices next year.
Two Conditions to be Met.
There are two conditions which have
operated against the south becoming
a grain section, but with production
on a large scale they will automatic
ally adjust themselves. The first is,
concentrating grain freight rates.
There has never been any use for them
and the railroads have never put in
a practical system as we have only
been distributors of grain and it is
done almost entirely on class rates.
With a large production the railroads
would be glad to establish a system
of commodity rates as grain is heav
ier and less bulky than cotton and
very profitable to haul. As an evidence
of the fact that the railroads will
meet this new condition, see how
quickly a few days ago they adjusted
their rates on cstton to allow stor
age facililties
Lack of Markets.
The second Is lack of markets and
facilities for handling this grain. When
the production warrants, It will at
tract men with proper Intelligence
and capital, to thoroughly establish
as good a system of marketing as cot
ton, fruit, melons, vegetables, or oth
er products of the south now enjoy,
and the seed houses already built
along the railroads would furnish
ample and fair storage as the oats
would be ready for movement in the
early summer. The south already
has a corps of trained men who un
derstand the grain business in every
detail, I speak of the wholesale grain
dealers, they would have to become
concentrators Instead of distributors
In going into the grain business the
cotton states would have two distinct
advantages over the other grain sec
tions of the Union; first, as they are
nearer the seaboard, the grain
would have a higher relative value on
the farm. Second, asthey are further
south and the crop matures earlier, it
could be marketed at better prices be
fore the new grain movement was
general.
The oat best adapted to this section
is the red rust proof variety, they are
as valuable as any other, and the
state of Texas alone, has marketed on
numerous occasions 50,000,000 bushels
in a season of a few weeks.
Diversify or bo Bankrupt.
The cotton farmer staggering under
an enormous surplus of cotton is fac
ing a crisis, he must diversify or he
is bankrupt. The farmer himself,
doubts his ability to change; let thu
farmers’ organizations of all kinds,
have these statistics which shows the
enormous shortage we are facing In
coarse grains, printed In concise form,
and drummed Into every farmers
head with Instructions to act at. once.
It will save this year's crop of cotton
which ho is now holding and means
prosperity next year.

Would Be Good Business Proposition for States of Louisiana
and Mississippi to Stop Planting for a Year. With De
creased Acreage in 1915 it Will Be the Time to Stamp
Out Weevil.
A prominent Augusta cotton factor,
who owns a large farm just below the
city on tho Savannah river, believes
that 1915 will lie the year to stamp
out the boll weevil in the South. This
gentleman makes a trip each year to
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Mis
sissippi and is a student of the bhll
weevil question. No one knows bet
ter than he that the weevil will soon
be in Georgia and South Carolina for
he has watched its steady march
westward for several years.
“It will be disastrous to plant an
other large crop next year." he says,
“apd tho South. I am sure, is fully de
termined to plant not more than one
half of the acreage that was planted
this year. Now, If no cotton at all
Was planted in tre states of Louisiana

the weevil Is now getting In his work.
"It seems to me that the govern
ment, in some way, could reimburse
the cotton farmers of those states for
their losses and even though the gov
ernment did nothing for them, It
would he a good business proposition
for the people themselves to plant no
