“Live At Home Week” in Augusta November 16th to 21st
Augusta’s Live-at-Home, Trade-at-Home, Made*at-Home
Week To Show How Augusta Payroll Can Be Doubled
and Augusta Moneys Kept Circulating At Home
The Very Heart and Core of
Movement is Co-operation,
Touching All Classes of Peo
ple, and Benefits Will Result
to the Common Good of All
Alike
CITY MARKET FEATURE ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
Practically Every Manufactory
in Augusta and Vicinity Will
Have a Display, the Purpose
of Exhibits to Be to Acquaint
People With What is Made in
Augusta and Where to Find
Augusta Made Articles and
Goods---The Plan Explained.
Qo out on the North Augusta hill
ami from a point beyond the Hampton
Terrace hotel look down upon the rity.
From a hundred smokestack* you will
see the nrnoke arising. When you eon
alder that In eurh of the plant a and
factories Indicated by their amoke
there are at work, atx days In the
week, men and women—all together a
(food hundred* of men and wo
men—who at regular Interval* receive
their pay envelope*, you will, without
stopping to count up the iiini total,
have, a better appreciation of Augusta’s
Industrial payroll. The amount of
money paid out each week or each
month will not Impress you In cold
figure* aa much aa this bird's-eye view,
not If you atop to consider the human
aide of the matter.
But suppose that the number of men
and women employed in Augusta mills
and factories ahoidd be doubled, the
amount of money paid out to them
weekly or semi-weekly or monthly
should likewise be doubled and that
In the offices attached to these mills
and factories the forces of clerks, ste
nographers and bookkeeper* should be
proportionately Increased. Would not
every business house In Augusta,
wholesale and retail, nnd every branch
of bualnea*. In consequence of the In
creased number or workingmen and
worklngwnmen with Increased buying
ability reap benefits? Wopld not It
soon become necessary for business
houses to Increase tlielr forces of sales
people and their office help to facili
tate the taking care of the Increased
volume of business?, Would not all
be a splendid accomplishment,
vjtrive your automobile out the coun
try roads leading Into Augusta, and a*
you pass the farm wagons take casual
notice of wlutt l« In these wagons
those driving Into the city nnd those
whose drivers are homeward bound.
The chances are that at this particular
seasob of Ui* year the wwgons bound
for the etty will be loaded with cot
ton but occasionally you will paas a
man who will be bringing In butler
and fresh eggs, chickens, turkeya. po
tatoes, seasonable vegetables or per
haps h shoal, maybe e few home-cured
country harms. The wagon* bringing
cotton Into town will be more than
likely to return loaded with provisions
—food product* that rplltht have been
raised at homo, but which, lire farmer
being too busy raising cotton to turn
Into money, he' depended upon other
farmers of another section of country
to raise for him at a good price and
profit. On the other hand, the wag
ons that came to town loaded with
conntrv produce are more apt to he
loaded on the return journey with a
variety of articles —clothing, elroea, dry
goods something for the bouse, per
haps a few luxuries. And the fanner
driving that wagon, If you had any
way of ascertaining, would be more
UVely to have concealed about hie per
son a bank book showing a balance
to hla credit.
Would not the farmer and the city
dweller alike benefit directly If all the
farmers living In the radius of the
Augusta trading district raised enough
food products to supply I heir ow n
need a. and. In addition, enough to haul
Into town and convert the surplus Into
naeh ?
The Answer la “Live at Home."
In theae two logical Illustrations lies
the real meaning and the true signifi
cance of live at Home. Made at Home
.Week. The whole fabric of the plan,
the heart and core of which Is co
operation. Ues ooticcaled. Nothing Is
In thla connection nor# to the point
than a paragraph taken from a reso
lution adopted the other night by the
Augusta Federation of Trades endors
ing the Live at Home. Trade at Hotpe,
Made at Home movement and the Live
nt Home. Trade at Home Made at
Home Week, that “the Interests of the
merchant the mamifarturer, the pro
fessional man and the workingman are
all bound up together, that th» time
has come when all should pull to
gether" nnd "rally to thla cause that
means a greater measure of peace,
prosperity and happiness for Augusta.”
One swallow does not make spring,
nor will one Live at Home. Trade at
Home Made at Home Week double ths
payrolls of Augusta manufacturing en
terprises. Neither will one Live at
Home Week bring prosperity to the
farmer* of this section nor solve their
problems for them. But If It were for
only one week that all that Is being
done for purposes of demonstration was
proposed: If !>eyond the week of dem
onstration there were not SI other
weeks In the next >ear to which the
‘name principles to be taught during the
week of November 16-21 will apply,
'one Live at Home Week would Its a
futile experiment
For Every Dey in the Year.
If. however, whenever during the
next twelve months an Augusta n an
or an Augusta woman makes a pur
chase he or she will purchase an Au
gusta-made article or Augusta-made
good a In preference to goods made tn
the mills and factories of some other
city and If In buying provisions the
people of Augusta will during the next
twelve months buy home-killed meats
and country produce raised In the «xi-

<HE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
Dr. Jos. E. Green, President Savannah
Valley Assc’d Farmers Club, Praises
The Herald’s Plan For a City Market
Dr. Green Says That Farmers of This Section Have Long Felt
the Need of Market For Their Produce and Believes Plan
Will Be Success
FARMERS PRODUCE TO BE SOLD WITHOUT
ANY CHARGES AT HERALD’S CITY MARKET
Also Country Wagons With Produce Will Be Allowed to Park
on 500 and 600 Blocks on Saturday, November the 21st.
"I think The Herald’s city market
plan a splendid one,” said Dr. Joseph
E. Green, president of the Savannah
Valley Associated Farmers’ Clubs
yesterday In speaking of the plan to
have a market on Broad Street for one
week.
“I have always been in favor of a
city market for country produce,” Dr.
Green continued, “and I am glad that
The Herald has taken up the idea. 1
believe that the experiment will prove
so successful as to warrant It being
kept up. The farmers of this section
of Georgia and South Carolina have
long wanted a place to carry their
produce. They do not want to have
to peddle It all over the city and often
times have to sell It at a sacrifice,
rather than to carry It back home.
"I believe that every one is familiar
with the arguments In favor of a mar
ket house. I am sure that the mem
bers of the Savannah Associated Far
mers' Clubs will be glad to patronize
the market and I believe that The
Herald’s plan will meet with much
success.’"
From every section of the city and
Bring to Herald’s City Market Every
Kind Produce That is Raised on Farm
Chickens, Eggs, Ducks, Geese, Turkeys, Potatoes, Cabbages,
Turnips, CoUards, Etc., Will Be Sold Without Commission
Week of November 16th to 21st.
If you have at home a dozen chickens
which you want to sell; if you have
several bushels of Irish or sweet po
tatoes; If you have a dozen or more
i eggs, some turnips, collards, cabbages,
1 hams, geese, ducks, turkeys, or any
I other article which you may be able
to spare and which will be the source
(of a little ready money send or bring
it to The Herald’s City Market which
will be operated for one week, from
November 16th to 21st.
There are probably a great many
people who are determined not to sell
their cotton at the present prices and
who are In need of ready cash. They
can realize on these articles by send
ing them to the market.
The city housewives who need
chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, eggs,
potatoes and many of the other ar
ticles grown on the farm will be able
to fill her wants by going to the City I

Win Prizes For Barge Line Names
Augusta’s New Steel River Boats Are the “Richmond” and
the “Chatham,” the Counties in Which Augusta and Savan
nah Are Located, Respectively---Prizes of Fifteen Dollars
and Ten Dollars Awarded.
After working the greater part of
the p.vst week on the thirteen hundred
or more names submitted In th# Au
gusta Barge Line prize contest, th®
throe Judges appointed by Capt. Rice,
president of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association, to decide on
the two most suitable names for the
new Snvannah River boats and award
the prizes of sls and $lO offered by
the August a-Savannah Navigation
Company, have selected the names
Richmond and Chatham as the best
submitted. *
Of Local Significance.
In making their decision the judges
were governed by the rule* establish
ed for the contest and especially by
the desire of the navigation company
to have names selected which would
not only be dignified and of local sig
nificance but which would permit of
future boats being named in a series
with the first two. In announcing
their decision to the navigation iom
pany, the Judges pointed out that the
names determined upon were those of
the two counties In which the termi
nals of the new river service will be
located, and that future boats can be
named after the other Georgia coun
ties bordering the river. «s Burke,
Screven and so on. and when these
are exhausted, as the river traffic
grow*, the nearby Inland counties can
be used. This idea was decidely ac
ceptable to the officers of the Barge
Line who were delighted at the selec
tion* made.
’tfjichmond" First.
After arriving at their decision, and
determining that the proposer of the
name Richmond was entitled to the
first prize, that being the home county
and the proposer of the name Chat
ham to second prize, recourse was had
to the envelopes containing the names
of the contestants. It was found that
the name Richmond had been propos
ed by twenty-nine persons, and Chat
ham by eighteen and that these names
were shown on the first two envel
opes received in the contest.
The envelope first received bearing
th name Richmond contained the name
of Lombard Rrlnson. secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation, who 1* accordingly awarded
the first prize. The earliest enx’elope
bearing the name Chatham contained
the name of Doris O'Leary, who was
■awarded the second prize.
the surrounding country come en
dorsements of The Herald’s “Live at
Home Week” plan. It has struck a
popular chord. On the north side of
the 600 block of Broad Street a store
has been secured which will be known
as The Herald’s city market. This
store will be open from the 16th to the
21st of November, and farmers are in
vited to bring chickens, eggs, ducks,
geese, potatoes, cabbages and every
kind of produce to this market or ex
press their articles to The Herald’s
City Market with a letter stating the
price that Is wanted for each article.
The goods will be sold and no com
mission will btf charged and money
sent to the owner.
On Saturday, November 21st, the
farmers will be Invited to bring in
their produce and park their wagons
on the 500 and 600 blocks. The people
of Augusta will be Invited out to buy
direct from the producer on this day
and with The Herald’s City Market
and the wagons on the streets it
should be a great day to buy and sell
country produce.
Market during the week of November
16th to 21st.
It Is believed that the market will
be patronized well from the begin
ning. Already there are promises of
vegetables being made. Those wish
ing to dispose of these articles may
consign them to The Herald’s City
Market, Augusta, Ga., and stipulate
the prices they want. There will be
no charges for commissions.
If people from the country who can
not send or bring articles during the
week will bring them in on Saturday,
November 21st, in their wagons these
will be allowed to park on the 500 and
600 blocks "of Broad Street and the
people from the city will purchase ar
ticles direct from the producer. Of
course, those who sell their produce
will turn right round and spend a part
or all of the money with . Augusta
merchants, and probably the mer
chants on those two blocks of Broad.
Launch “Richmond" Nov. 14.
On opening the prize-winning en
velopes the Judges were surprised to
find the name of the son of one of the
judges and Mr. O’Leary felt a natural
hesitation about awarding the prize,
but It was pointed out to him by the
other Judges that as the contest had
been conducted in strict accordance
with the rules which made it impos
sible for the Judges to know the names
of the contestants until after the win
ning names had been decided upon,
young Doris was clearly entitled to
the second prize.
It is announced that the Richmond
will be launched at Savannah on No
vember 14th, or as soon thereafter as
the tides will serve and will have her
trial run on the river early In Decem
ber. the Chatham following her sister
vessel into service about three weeks
later.

Tourist Season, Believed To Be j
Best in History of the South, is
Now Opening Up in Augusta
HOMES Dill HILL
BEING RENTED
TO TDUHISIS
Number of Houses Have Al
ready Been Taken By Winter
Visitors From the North, East
and West.
Since the outbreak of war in Eu
rope and the belief that, it would last
throughout the winter at least there
has been a feeling that the South would
this season enjoy a better tourist sea
son than ever in its history. Augusta
always cbmes in for her share as one
of the foremost winter resorts of the
South.
In addition to the splendid season
the hotels here expect, it is the confi
dent opinion of local renting agents
that a goodly number of cottages will
be taken by tourists for the winter
this year. In fact, there is doubt if
there are any left on the market be
fore many more weeks. Even yet in
quiries continue to come in and be
fore the first of December, when the
season in proper begins, there will be
dozens of homes on the Hill ready and
awaiting the arrival of tourists.
Some of the Homes Rented.
Among the homes on the Hill which
have already been leased for the com
ing season by tourists are:
The two Prontaut houses' at “The
Pines” will be occupied by the W. P.
and P H. Sawyer families of Oshkosh,
Wls., respectively.
The Weed cottage on Walton way,
two doors above the Bon Air hotel,
has been taken by George H. Converse,
of Boston, Mass.
The home of Mrs. M. L. Walton at
Kings way and Johns road, will be
occupied this season by T. T. Tenny
of Minneapolis.
The home of F. H. Denny, on Mil
ledge road, will be occupied by R. W.
Patterson of Lenox, Mass.
The home of Miss Frances Cashin,
on Miliedge road, will be occupied by
F. H. Denny of Pittsburg,
The Terrett cottage, on Miliedge
road, will be occupied by J. H. Lan
cashire of Boston.
The Butt houses, at Pellew and Mil
ledge road, will be occupied, respec
tively, by Miss Alice Benjamin and
Mrs. J. M. Haynes of Paris Hill, Me.
The smith cottage, on Miliedge road,
will be occupied by Mrs. F. J. Paxton
of Wheeling, W. Va.
Mrs. Paxton is expected to come
Wednesday of this week and to re
main until next May. The others will
arrive about the first of December.
INDICTMENTS BY

On Friday at noon the grand jury
returned six criminal Indictments in
the superior court which had been

Garrett Ford with robbery; Isaac Mc-
Manus with burglary; Alec Jones
and Scrapp Washington w’ith car

nances, etc., etc., and reports on the
condition of these have been submit

morning at 10 o'clock.
ASSOCIATE COUNTY “COP”
TO AID W. J. MURPHY
H. J. Bartley Already Active in
New Position---A Number of
Arrests Have Been Made in
the County Since Tuesday.
The County Commission at their
last meeting, on Tuesday, elected H.
J. Bartley to the office of county po
liceman, to be associated with W J,
Murphy, who has for a long time held
the position alone.
It would have been difficult to select
a more eminently fitted man for the
position than Mr. Bartley, who was
for years a member of the rfty detec
tive force, and later one of the guards
at the stockade, or to find a man who
la more familiar with the faces.,
names, haunt* and habits of the ne
groes in the county. He xtyll be of
incalculable assistance to Mr. Murphy,
as has been proved already by the
number of arrests made by the two
conjointly In the last four days.
On Friday they brought in a negro
named Frank Cain, who la alleged to
be the, man who burglarized Mrs.
Johnson’s house near th# 7-mile post
uu the MHledgevtlle Road two days
before taking some stiver and cloth
ing. A part of the loot has been re
covered and It la thought the rest ho*
been located.

that the Carolina, Georgia and Florida
resorts may expect,” said Mr. Magruder
Dent, of the Southern Railway, yester
day, "is the announcement that the
Southern will not only continue its pres
ent regular service but that this will
be greatly augmented by the establish
ment and operation of additional new

New York, Aiken and Augusta on the
Southeastern Limited; the service be
tween Augusta, Savannah, Brunswick
and Jacksonville improved, and new
through Pullman sleeping car service to

cial.
Soliciting Business for the South.
“A number of special passenger rep
resentatives of the Southern Railway
have been placed at important points in
the North, for the purpose of personally
soliciting and attracting tourists South.
These men are all well trained and
familiar with the Southern and
it is felt that their efforts will redound
much benefit. They are furnished ad
vertising matter attractively describing
by word and picture the Southland's re
sorts.
Eastern Service.
"The schedule of the Southern’s
Southeastern Limited will be to leave

“Is it optimism you seek in these
days?” asks Mr. Dent. "If so, I com
mend to you any person -in the United
States who profits by the winter tour
ist business, be he hotel owner, supply
deiler, garageman, real estate agent or
railroad man. It Is generally expected
that the American winter resorts will
enjoy the very best patronage and busi
ness that they have ever had, for there
is no encouragement to those of our
citizens who have heretofore spent the
winter abroad at resorts on the conti
nent, In Italy, Spain and Egypt, to go
there during the coming cold period. But
they will have a good opportunity to en.
Joy the comforts and pleasures of th*
winter resorts in this country.”
