AUGUSTA MUST GET BUBY.
The people between Augusta and ,
Aiken—ths Horae Creek Valley folks
are up In anna, at the proposed rulse
In /treat car farca of 100 per cent.
They have appeared before the South ,
Carolina Railroad Commission and
protested—they are still protesting |
and they declare they are going to
continue to proteal.
If the road is losing money, it would
he much better they declare tempo
rarily to reduce the number of cate
In operation which could lie put hack
when business is better. But thr rates
nnoe rlaeed will doubtless remain
raised Certainly Ihe raise in rates,
this doubling of the fares between
Augusta end Aiken, la going to make
It twice as expensive to shop In Au
gusta. The people effected ere surely
going to have lust that much less
money to spend lor anything they
may desire to buy In Augusta.
Augusta's trade bodies ought to
enter a vigorous protest along with
the protest of the people In the Horse
Creek Valley against the proposed
raise In fares between Augusta and
Aiken.
NOW FOR FULL STEAM AHEAD.
Times are steadily gating better all
over this country. Saturday wne a
good trading day not only In Augusta
but raporte from Athene. Atlanta, and
other southern cities, note the picking
up of trade, and the doiug of a larger
volume of business. The worst Is
long since over and It Is full steam
ahead for the people of this country.
Cnormoua orders have been placed
in thle country horn abroad and
America la going to he taxed to help
feed and clothe the world while the
nations remain at war. Cheer up and
get busy. Business must he done and
it la but a short time till Christmas.
Augusta .wants all the steam she
ran get to make up for lost time, and
The Herald alnrerely trusts that the
application of the Georgia Road to
discontinue any passenger service
will not be granted by the Railroad
Commission. With a showing of near
ly doubling the net earnings of this
road laat year, the Georgia Is amply
able to maintain all tta present sched
ules and to contribute tte share to
bear It* part In pushing the business
ot this section. Certainly if any
trains are L he discontinued, they
ought to be the trains that are earn
ing less and costing the road more to
maintain. Thee# trains are the fast
trains—the through trains, which ren
der comparatively little service to the
people along the Georgia Road and
to the trade territory of Augueta.
We trust the Georgia w-tll maintain
all Its trains tor the tourist season
al least, but If any are to be discon
tinued, It will he better for the road
to get rid of the most coatly trains
and It will be better for a much lar
ger number of people to retain the
present splendid local service of t'.e
goad.
Be a sport Mr Wickersham and
keep on all the trams.

BILLY PIG’S VACATION—Part I.
“I am going on a vacation,” Billy
Pig told hts mother one morning. ”1
have worked all summer so 1 think I
will pack my suit case and start to
day."
Ho Billy kissed hi* mother good
bye, and off he started on hts vaca
tion.
lie traveled all day, and when It was
about sunset Hilly I’lg begat, to think
of the nice box of dinner he had in
his dress suitcase.
But Just as he sst down under a
tree where he thought he could rest
for the night lie heard someone say:
"Don't think of eating out here; come
right home with mty Mrs. Bruin
would never forgive me If l let you
sit out here when we havs such a
fine home very near.”

Billy Pi;; did not feel happy \yhen he
saw Mr. Bruin smiling down at him
for he hud come up behind Billy Pig
and stood looking at him as he sat
on the ground. But Mr. Bruin wus so
Pleasant and so urgent in his desire
to have Billy Pig lor u guest that Billy
Pig picked up his suitcase and fol
lowed Mr. Bruin lo his home.
"Mere is Billy Pig, Matilda," eal<l
Mr. Bruin to Ills wife "1 found him
sitting under a tree eating his supper.
1 Knew younvould never forgive me if
1 did not bring him home.' 1
"What have you in your suit case?”
asked Mrs. Itruin. her eyes looking l
longingly.at Billy liff's well-filled ease.!
"Oh. that contains my clothes and
some food for me."
indeed. Well. Matilda." said Mr.
Bruin, "you must take care of the food
Billy 111 has in there. It will spoil
before morning. I am sure."
*‘l think 1 will go to bed If you do
not mind," said Hilly Pig, after a
while, 'i am taking a vacation and I
want to see as much of the world as
1 can before I return home.”
"To t'e sure, to be sure," said Mr. ‘
Bruin "Matilda, get Billy Pig a can- '
die and show him up the stairs to his j
bedroom
Billy Pig drank some porridge and j
then took his candle and went up
stairs to his room. He felt very un- j
comfortable and when he saw that the,
door did not have a lock he felt more 1
ao.
His suit case Mrs. Bruin would not I
permit him to take upstairs, saying It:
would take up too much room, as the
bedroom was small, but she gave him
his pajamas and Billy Pig began to
undress when he heard a sound that
made him listen.
The stain creaked and Billy Pig
heard someone at the door. His heart
seemrd toctop beating he w-as eo
frightened
Then Billy PtR very softly got down
on the floor and listened.
"He Isn't asleep yet," said Mrs
Bruin "We will eat his eske and cook
ies first and save him for dinner to
morrow."
Then Billy Pig trembled more than
ever, for he knew that the Bruins had
enticed lint into their house only to
make a dinner of htm.
He waited until the light went out
in the room below and then he put on
i the clothes he had taken off and Med

his pajamas in n little bundle. This ho
put on tho window gill.
Then very, very softly he took the
sheet from the bed and went to the
window and looked down.
”1 could almost jump down,” he
thought; "but I guess I might make
a mdse, and the Bruins would chase
nit."
Hu he tied the sheet to the bedpost
and got out on the window sill taking
his little bundle under his arm.
! Then he caught hold of the end of
the sheet and slid down to the ground.
And then Billy Pig ran as he never
ran before; he ran on and on and on
until the sun was peeping up In the
east before he stopped to even take
a long breath. He sat down on a big
stone by the road to rest, and was
wondering how he could get some
breakfast, when he heard someone
coming down the road.

for him to come up to him.

WOMEN WHO KILL
-r-
Occasionally there is an exception
to the rule that any female who
wholly disreputable and has not a pos
itive squint ran kill anybody she
chooses and go free. Making due al
lowance for infants and for females
who are handicapped by physical re
puislveness or by vulgar police records,
we should say that, as to fully a quar
ter of the population of the United
Htivtes, the chances of being punished
lor homicide 1b barely one out of a
t hundred. \\ omen are in much the
sune position as though the law de
tltjed homicide as a misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fortnight's attendance in
court, attired In their most becoming
I clothes anil duly wept over by sympa
. thetio spectators
In view of the almost total Immunity
for mob murders, the near Immunity
for female homicides, -the near im
-1 tnunlty for male murderers who plead
(the unwritten law, and the chance that
i any other male homicide the police
; capture will escape on some techni
cality, It Is an open question whether
the death penalties and life tmprison
jtnents with which the law threatens
jare of any value in protecting life.
We consider It highly probable that
if every murderer were quickly and
J surely punished +>y a year's imprison
ment there would ba fewer homicides

I todnv. when the law threatens awful
! penalties, but rarely Inflicts them.
As to women who kill. It would lie a

The afternoon that Frank had told
Helen of his love for her and «Uso

Paul Van Buren had been in the office
late —after thd other employes had
gone—and had overheard Helen and
Frank talking. He had laughed at
them and gone out. After he had gone
Frank said to Helen, “Now what was
that fellow doing in the office this
time of day? Up to some more of hts
crookedness I suppose, so I guess,
girlie, we had better be on the lookout
for trouble."
A few days after this Frank was
called into the office of Van Buren,
the head of the firm. The "old man"
acted very strangely when Frank came

Frank's signature.
"What have you done with that mon
