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.” SPLENDID MEETING THE ROTARY CLUB Talks Were Made By Mr. Geo. T.

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. A PEDESTRIAN.

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.
