PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
"If the cotton farmer will plant
fifty per cent of hit available cot
ton acreage, or about 18,000,000
acraa, in oat*, (plant them deep
with a drill to prevent freezing)
he will have aolved the problem
•f crop reduction. A* toon a*
this fact i* officially known
through the department at Wash
ington, the value of cotton will
immediately reapond to the now
conditions and will advance at
once to 10 or 12 cents par pound.”
WEEMS A. SMITH.
THE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE.
Saturday, Oct. lOtli. la going to be
debt paying day tn Auguata. Usually
on the 10th a great many accounts aro
nettled, but this year fha number of
throe accounts Is going to be doubled
amt trebled, for If everyone who Is
peld something on that day Will pass
promptly along the good work and pay
somebody elaa. Augusta will enjoy one
of the briskest and beat business days
of tha whole aeason.
Make up your mind to get tn the
game of good times and to pay our
debts on Saturday, the 10th Inst. Nut
only pay yourself, but pass along the
good work, keep the dollar moving on
Saturday
If everybody In Augusta were to
Join In such a movement, the trade
records for the city would be broken.
Nobody is going to be hurt by paying
up their obligations and If all will join
In such a movement, one dollar can
be made to de the work of 110.00 or
tloo.oo before the day Is over.
Watch and are what a dollar will

THe "FINGER” OF BCORN.
Mr. J. Finger of Ridgefield Park,
tfew Jersey, writea to the New York
world of on* T'leodore Roosevelt:
"Our would-be emperor ways wo
must not tnut "worthleaa bit* of pa
prr hacked by power," nor "treaties
that aro fundamentally foollah.”
"Surely Theodore Rooeevolt baa
rhoaen the payrhologlcal moment to
finish hla taak of thoroughly dime red-
Ulna htmaelf alone with the unspeak
able Hearat."
It ta certainly amailng that Mr.
Ronaevelt'a Judgment and aelf Inter

The author of that historic phrase.
•1 took the latliniua.” is thoroughly
consistent In hla attitude of contempt
for treatlea, but Theodore Roosevelt's
great power with the people of thla
country, until now. has constated In
hla defiance of consistency. Ilia hap

a naw stunt. He Is running against
the current and attempting to drive
public eentlment In directions from
which It ha* chosen to turn away.
The tug of war over the repeal of
the Panama tolls exemption act. and
the resultant victory was the alow
struggle of honor and honesty against
power and prestige. That act would

that public opinion vn thoroughly

good aerugo and the proper tone to
realize that the greatness of a nation
la In Its Integrity and Its honor.
Theodore Roosevelt is standing
against a force that Is stronger than
he Is and more certain than guns.
There Is no dispute on hand con
cerning the value of arms in support
of honor. The question Mr. Roosevelt
causes to rise up In the minds of
Americans Is whether arms are to be
valued because they enable nations
to make light of their pledges to one
another?
FACTS
Feed, sugar, salt, coffee, rice, beans,
and many other articles of merchandise
are put up In burlap bags.
The burlap for the purpose origi
nates In India In enormous yardage.
At the present time the ships accus
tomed to bring burlap cloth and raw
Jute across the seas are unable to load
and sail for foreign ports. The short
stock In this country has opened up
« field for a burlap substitute which
can best be filled by the production
of cotton cloth. If cotton mills act
quickly, and the consumer demands
that sneked commodities shall be In
cotton cloth Instead of anything else.
WILL YOU HELP?
Millions upon millions of pounds of
cotton are Involved.
The South needs a home market for
cotton this year ns Europe cannot take
her usual supplies.
Help the cotton planters and all the
South by Insisting your supplies must
be packed in cotton bngs
PETERS QUALITY FEEDS
Can be obtained from dealers pack
ed In cotton hags
DETAILS FOR COTTON MILLS.
Aa a substitute for burlap the stapls
uaed for bag cloth, requires good long
fibre for strength, without reference to
color.
40-INCH GOODS
Will be demanded tn the largest
yardage, and course counts as low as
40x40 will serve most purposes In
weight w hich wo limit to 3«0 yard.
Some may risk their requirements to
weights 50 to 00 points lighter.
TO THE CONSUMER.
The cotton hng Is much more useful
for many purposes and the assistance
given the South will be a neighborly
act deserved and appreciated.
TO THE COTTON PLANTER.
Accept this tribute of our good will
In this period of uncertainty with tha
hope the effort will bring results to
you tn proportion to our sincerity.

USING A BIG NAME.
To dispel confusion we make men
tion of the fact that there ta In thla
old state of Georgia, a certain follow
ing of the Hull Moose party, which
preferring the name of 'Progressives"
to Hull Moosltes. so call themselves
There ts also in Georgia a division tn
the democratic party, which Is of a
more or less changing and uncertain
character and somewhat Indefinite.
FURS
Some one has estd that furs make a plain woman
beautiful and a beautiful woman ravishing.
Thai may be a bit of poetic extravagance, but there ta
no question but furs enhance the costume and add to the
beauty of the face.
The average woman does not buy furs as she doe* a
D*«f hat-with the thought that If It 1* not satisfactory
she van easily get another. She buy* them after careful
consideration and selection, because if means a large ex
penditure of money and. therefore, must be made to last
several season*.
It Is also true that the average woman docs not know
very much concerning fur value. It is. therefore, neces
sary that ah* buy* from only reliable fur dealers.
In the advertising columns of The Herald are to be
seen the announcements of fur sale* by reliable merchants
In almost every edition.
INDOOR SPORTS
between what Is called the progres
sive and reactionary way. The re
actionaries call themselves progres
sives. The progressive democrats call
themselves progressives and those
who have Joined the Theodore Roose
velt wing of the protective tariff par
ty call themselves progressives.
What’s In a name? A very "good
writer,” named Shakespeare by some
and Bacon by others, asked this ques
tion and answered It, saying: “That
which wo call a rose, by any other
name would smell as sweet.” The trou
ble Is there are a great many people
who get no guidance from their ol
factory senses, and with them the
name of a thing counts as much as Its
essence.
"Progressive” Is a big name but
like all very big things it means dif
ferent things to different minds.
Crimes have been committed In the
name of liberty. Even at this time
human life and human works are
being destroyed In the name of God.
Let us not therefore be mlßled by
falsely applied labels. The vial that
contains poison may be*labelled "Life”
but it's contents lose nothing of their
potency because of the label.
The Bull Moosltes In Georgia are
cherishing fond hopes of forming the
antagonism which has grown out of
the recent political campaign and the
hard feeling cherished by those who
failed to direct the steam roller of the
Macon convention according to their
Wills
The people of this state have to
meet one Important quostlon. Is the
break between democrats so complete
ns to give the republican party an
entrance Into Georgia's political life?
For call It as wo may. the Roosevelt
division Is nothing but the old party
of privilege and special favor, frilled
up with fantasies of pseudo socialism
and shorn of African barriers.
Mr. G. R. Hutchens of Rome Is to
oppose Mr. Hardwick, the nominee of
the democratic party for the short
term, while Mr. C. M. McClure Is to
oppose Senator Hoke Smith. We
wish these gentlemen a merry run
for thfflr money. The result of these
efforts will, at least, serve to make
clear the point ns to what Georgia
voters understand by the word pro
gressive.

THE ADVENTURES OF THE FAIRY
QUEEN—Part 1.
On e when the Fairy Queen was all
alone and the fairies were flitting
about doing good the Queen began
thinking how much she was alone.
"I never have a chance to see things
as the other fairies do.’ she said “and
1 never had a vacation In all my Ilfs.
There are many things I should like
to see and know about. I should like
to visit the land where the goblins live
and s'e how they make things grow."
The Queen sat very still for a few
minutes and then she jumped up from
the leaf where she was swinging. ”1
will do it." she said. "I am sure I can
disguise myself so they will never
suspect."
“Now. how will I dress.” she
thought. “I must he taller or they
will not let me In. I will go to old
Witch Sindok and ask her advice."
"So you wish to visit the land of the
Goblins?" said the witch when she
heard the Queen's story. "To do so
with any degree of safety you will
have to assume another form," she
told her. “and 1 think that a white
robhlt would be the best.”
The Queen consented, and witch
Sindok waved her crooked stick over
the little Queen and said:
Ton shall neither bark nor bite.
And your fur be soft and white.
And tn place of the Queen there
appeared a soft white rabblL with
FOUND BUSINESS NORMAL
IN LONDON IN MOST LINES.
Franklin Johnston Say* Money I*
Cheaper Than In New York.
“The etorles from London and Paris
of business and financial conditions
there two months ago have produced
a very erroneous Impression of what
these conditions are at tha present
time," said Franklin Johnston, co
publisher of the ''American Exporter,”
just returned by the Minnehaha, after
three weeks spent on business In those
cities.
"Instead of England's business be
ing at a standstill, it Is actually dom
inated by a good deal more cheerful
ness and confidence than here. Mon
ey Is more plentiful and cheaper than
In New York and, In the words of the
London representative of on# of the
largest American banking houses, the
English banks have more money than
they know what to do with.'
"The policy of 'business as usual*
has been a great success and the pub
lic has absolute confidence and there
Is no hoarding of gold. I went to
England prepared to pay gold for
everything, but In several cases found
the people actually preferred paper.
“American business men who are
holding back their plans In the belief
that the war will be over In a few
weeks would change their views If
they visited England. No one In Eng
land expects the war to be over for
two or three years."

pink eyes and ears. "Now you are
ready for your Journey,’’ said the
witch, ** but do not be too wise or
those clever Goblins will see through
your disguise.”
The Queen, or the rabbit, as twe
shall call her now, promised to be
careful, and off she ran to a moss
covered rock. Knocking three times
upon the rock, she called: "Suot-'
nepo.’ The rock opened and in she
ran.
“Who enters our home?" some one
called, and from all directions came
the goblins. When they saw White
Rabbit one of them asked: "How did
you know our password? The rock
never would have opened without It.”
White Rabbit had not thought of
that; she had learned It when she was
in her natural state of Fairy Queen
from an old goblin whom she had
helped, but how was she to explain
her entrance to the goblins, and they
were looking at her with suspicion in
every feature.
"Please," said White RabblL very
meekly, "I wanted to visit the home
of the very W4se goblins, so I listened
one day and heard one of your num
ber speak the magic words. But If you
do not wish me to stay,” she said, "I
will go away at once."
The goblins talked together for a
few minutes, and then one of them
said: “We w r ill show you our homes,
but you must stay here for one year,
and In that time you will forget the
magic words, for If they are not used
during that time they cannot be re
membered.”
Of course she could not protest, for
the goblins were already suspicious,
and If they were to discover her Iden
tity she feared It would go hard with
her. So she said: “I shall he glad to
stay In your wonderful land
for a year, and I think you are very
kind to keep a guest so long.” But all
the time she was wondering how she
could escape, for she felt sure that
the goblins suspected she w'as not a
rabbit from* the way they looked at
her. Tomorrow I will tell you what
happened.
