find warm places in the hearts of au
diences are. “The Landing of Colum
bus,”' conspicuous for its heroic treat
ment and rugged historic grandeur;
“The Grand Central Station at New
York City,” which is in direct contrast
to the foregoing and thrillingly illus
trates the startling difference between
the modes of transportation in 1492
and 1814; “A New England Farm.” a
delightfully tranquil scene depicting
the charming rustic beauty of prirna
tive life as contrasted with the insane
rush of a great city; “The New Orleans
Levee," showing an old-fashioned side
wheel Mississippi river steamer motor

REMARKABLE DEMONSTRA
TION OF A KELLY-SPRING
FIELD PURE GUM TUBE
An interesting demonstration of the
strength of an inner tube was mode
on the streets of Augusta Wednesday
when a big Hudson automobile with
four-passengers was towed by a Kelly-
Fpringfield “Puto Gum” inner tube.
The demonstration was In charge of
E. R. Whaley, general, representative
of the Kelly-Springfleld Tire Co.
To prove that the tubes possessed
the great strength claimed for them a
novel test was devised. Using the
regular 35x4 commercial tube (tube
used in this demonstration was taken
from the stock of Davis Tire A ftub
ber Works, by Mr. F. E. Petway of The
Augusta Herald,) as a link, a cable
was rigged up between two cars. The
front ear pulled the rear car with four
passengers over the commercial and
residential streets. The weight of the
car and its passengers was in excess
of a ton and a half. The demonstra
tion was witnessed by hundreds of
people and caused great Jnteyegt.
At the close of the test the tube was
examined and was found to be with
out a flaw, having withstood an ap
parently impossible strain. The test
justified the phrase used by the Kelly-
Sprlngfteld Tire Co. in their adver
tising, “Made to Make Good.”

STREET CROSSINGS.
To The Herald;
I wish to call attention to the very
bad condition of street crossings—
connecting one walk with another—
after a heavy rain. They are almost
imu-ssTble. and if „;ie attempts to
“swim' across it is sometimes necea
taij io gel a - u saiiie,’’ or pel. aps
a new pair of shoes if of varied color,
or perhaps pay a doctor bill it he or
she be of delicate state. It is a matter
that should have the immediate and
proper attention of the city authori
ties. For years and years the streets
have been re-surl’aced, raising their
height above these stone walks, and
these walks have never been raisjd
along with the streets. This condition
exists throughout the city and just now
anywhere on Kolloek street where the
excavating has been in progress for
some weeks, it is simply awful.
In the event this information serve*
its purpose, I shall take the-liberty of
using your columns for the improve
ment of a few streets that have brick
the worst being Ellis, from
Marbury on down. At night this street
is unsafe for pedesterians, a few
thousand bricks being missing from
their respective places.

Hearing.
Washington. Cross exemlnatlon of
John K. Oldham, who spoke for the
Investment Bunkers’ Association, at
the Inter-state commerce commission
hearing today on the application of
the eastern railroads for higher freight
rates, developed testimony that the
rate of Interest on fixed charges of
the railroads had dropped during 1913
to 4.44 from an average of 4.80 for
the ten years preceding. It also de
veloped that the average dividend rate
for 1913 was 6.48 as against a ten
year average of 6.43.
In examination of flgurea presented
by Mr. Oldham, Louis D. Braudels,
the commission's counsel, drew the
conclusion that the amount of capital
required by the roads to aarn a dollar
on a year's operation had decreased
during 1913 Mr. Oldham (Inelgted,
however, that the falling Interest
charge did not indicate the roade had

WHAT LEADER MANN SAID
OF THE COTTON CRISIS
Washington.—Speaking on the cot
ton relief plan In the house yesterday,
republican leader Mann »aid:
"Printing large auma of money never
will help the cotton ettuatioo. The
proposition to Increase the legal ten
der notes by 1260,400,000 without awr
additional gold reserve," he added, "la
a dangerous proposition. What the
south needs Is a market for the cot
ton. If 11,000,000,000 were placed a
the south I doubt If money would be
any easier. The people In the south
or elsewhere wtil not loan money on
cotton or anything else unless the se
curity Is good. The more asset cur
rency you have without sufficient ae
eets behind It, the less credit there
will be."
Representative Glass, of Virginia
sshl that while appreciating the situa
tion In the south, the cotton amend'
merit was unsound and without pre
cedent In the history of the country,
that shrewd business men would not
buy the vast amount of bunds proposed,
and that the amendment would coiN
tract credit Instead of expand It. He
said It was kinder to the south to re
ject the amendment than to accept !t;
that It would restrict the credit of
the south, and that banks would h*.ve
to call In a billion dollars of loans l(
any such project was carried through.
