MONDAY, JCTOBER 5 FrMaf ©I Fak W©@!k d® lb® B6 Ansijiiiiiife D 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 ' eousiy. The drrgglsts handing Asthma dor will return your money If you say so. You sr# to be the sole judge and under this positive guarantee, absolutely no risk its run In buying Asthmador." -•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. Respectfully, W. A. SMITH.

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 and Mississippi the boll weevil would be exterminated.

There will be cheap rates on all railroads. they can hatch no where except In a cotton boll, so if no cotton was plant ed where the weevil was at his worst this year, the pest would ho exter minated for good. Tho weevil no longer worries Tex, but Is getting In his worst work In Louisiana and Mis sissippi so it would only he necessary to stop planting cotton In those states for o. year, and also In Southern Ar kansas and Southern Alabama, whore 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 cotton next year for by not planting any they would fortify themselves against boll weevil ravages for years to come."
