Tables Turned—NOT High Water— Augusta Now in Danger SuHering From Eifecls ol Low River Stage Factories and All Water Power Industries Here Have Had to Suspend Business on Account of Insufficient River Flow, and Will Likely Have to Continue to Do So, Owing to Lack of Rainfall During Storage Period in Augusta Watershed. The relation of low water records to water power In Augusta Is a matter of large financial and industrial In terest. When the river depth at Au gusta decreases to below the 9-foot stage It becomes necessary to curtail the supply of water furnished from the Augusta power canal. When a stage of below 7 feet Is reached most of the Important manufacturing plants are without water for power, and with the river below 5.5. which has become very unusual, practically all water power activities are forced Into sus pension. The river at Augusta for some time has been under the 9-foot stage, and the question Is asked by more than a few who are Interested In navigation on the Savannah river and also the Industries and factories which are de pendent upon her water for power; Will the river be sufficiently high during the corning winter to furnish the amount of water for the power needed ? The answer Is; It will not he unless there Is considerably more rain than has been given Augusta so far this year. Unusually Dry Storage Period. Since last April the Savannah river at Augusta has been at an unusually low stagehand It Is accounted for. ac cording to Local Forecaster E. D. Emlgh, from the fact that the Au gusta watershed during the annual storage period (January, February. March and Aprill received but 11.12 Inches total average rainfall when the normal for the average rainfall over the shed for the first four months of the year is 1K.63 Inches The storage period this year was practically the driest on record. In May of this year the total aver age rainfall for the Augusta water shed was hut .29 of an Inch, with two exceptions, the driest month on rec ord and the only month tn which the total rainfall for any of the first eight months of the year has ever amounted to less than one Inch 7.6 Fast Average in May. The average river stage at Augusta during the month of May, 1914, was 7.6 feet, the lowest average for May since 1904, when the stage averaged 6.9 feet In June. 1914. the river averaged 6.6 feet, which was the lowest average for any June since 1911, when the average stage Was 6.6 feet. During the month of July, 1914, the stage at Augusta averaged 7 4 feet, the Acme Play Tonight, “Aftermath Ladies Free Th* Arm* Play offering today at the Grand will be the three-act drama |of Prof Henry Hervey’s "Aftermath.” The play will prove to be one of the eeaeon’e beet dramatic offering*.

On the 3rd of July. 1914, the stage was 4.8 feet, first record below 5 feet since October, 1907. For August, 1914. the average stage was 8.4 feet, which was a very good flow, due to current rains. For September, 1914, the average stage dropped down to 5.8 feet, the. lowest September average since 1897, when the stage averaged only a tenth of a foot lower, and the lowest aver age for any month since November, 1904 (5.5 feet). In October (last month) the rtver was at a low stage during the first half of the month but good rains dur ing the latter part pulled the average for the month up to 8.6 feet. 4.7 Feet Loweet Thie Year. During the past several months, since the river has been unusually low, the lowest stage recorded wag 4.7 feet on October Ist and 2nd and September 18th, 1014, this being the lowest the river stage at Augusta reached since October 23, 1907 (4.7 feet). To show the effects of compara tively dry storage periods In the past the following figures were secured at the Augusta office of the United States Weather Bureau. In 1890 the rainfall for the first four months of the year averaged 10.01 inches for the watershed. This, how ever. was followed by a wet summer and consequently there were no ill ef fects from the dry storage period. In 1904 when the river In November got as low as 5.5' feet, the total rain fall {luring the storage period aver aged 11.72 Inches for the watershed. In 1907, when the river in October got even below the 5-foot stage, the rainfall during the storage averaged 11.62 inc hes for the watershed. What May Be Expected. Comparing the watershed’s total average rainfall during the storage period for these years mentioned with the normal full for the first four months of the year in Augusta may holp to answer the question above as to what the future stage of the Savan nah may be this winter, the rainfall for the storage period this year hav ing been, as given above, only 11.12 Inches Already this year the stage of the river here has been below 7 longer than In any year since 1905. To the first of this month the stage had been below 6 feet longer than in any year since 1905. rents and children 5 rents to all parts of the theater.

I-awhan and Company, mule deal ers of Atlanta, have a representative In Augusta Saturday purchasing mules for the French government. Up to noon about 20 had been purchased. The agent paid from SIOO to $139 per mule. Had he bought all that he look ed at he would have had over 50 by noon, but some of the mules he did not want at any price and in other in stances the owners refused to take the small prices offered. The mules are being shown at Heggie’s stable. One pair of mules for which the owner gave $490 a year or two ago. brought forth an offer of only $260 and he. of course, refused. I.awhan and Company are sub-con tractors and they have to make some money out of the mules and also the general contractor must make some, so for these reasons they claim that they are unable to pay high prices. The mules will b e sent to Atlanta to be inspected by an 'agent of the French government and from there will he sent to New Orleans to be placed on a steamer for France. At The Grand OTIS SKINNER IN “THE SILENT VOICE.” Excellent stagecraft, living individ uality in Its stage characters and dia logue that is said to be both pointed and interesting are reported as being found in Otis Skinner's new play, "The Silent Voice,” by Jules Eckert Goodman. These three characteris tics are absolutely necessary to any lasting dramatic success. Mr. Good man is said to have founded his play upon a short story by Gouverneur Morris. It is a number of years since this distinguished actor has been seen In a strictly modern play—the. scenes of "The Silent Voice," are laid in New York City at the present time, but in the role of Montgomery Starr, Mr. Skinner is said to have found a part very much to his liking and one which offers him exceptional oppor tunities. Charles Frohman is said to have provided an elaborate and hand some production and there is no bet ter master of stagecraft in the coun try than Mr. Skinner under whose personal direction “The Silent Voice" has been staged. There are fourteen characters in the play, each to be a type and particularly well drawn. Thpy run the gamut from the man of wealth and position to the poor devil without a cent to his name, and the story of the play is said not only to he a human one. hut extremely .dra matic. The supporting company is an excellent one. Charles Frohman presents Otic Skinner in “The Silent Voice'' at the Grand next Wednesday, evening only. DR.

HOW TO HEAL SKIN TROUBLES A Baltimore doctor suggests this sim- Jle, but reliable and inexpensive home treatment for people suffering with ec zema, ringworm, rashes and similar Itching skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar of reslnol ointment and a cake of reslnol soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy-five cents With the resl nol soap and warm water bathe the af fected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is soft ened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the reslnol ointment, and cover with a light bandage—ls necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distress ing itching and burning stops with the first treatment, and the skin soon be comes clear and healthy again.
