THE CASE OF AUGUSTA’S VARI
OUB CHARITIES.
Auguata prohably ha* more separata
and independent and dlvcrae cliari-
Uok than Rny other city of Ita alse In
the country. Auguata probably does
more charity work than many of hot
slater cities of twice her size.
The case of the Aaaoclaled Charities
In lids city which la appealing to the
public for support, falling which It w ill
have to close Ha doora, ia but a repe
tition of what baa happened to simi
lar organizations In many cities. It la
an appeal thnt should he heeded and
It douhtleaa will he heeded by the good
people of Augusta, for this Institution
la doing a splendid work with but lim
ited funds.
However. If some survey of the local
Hold eould l>e made, nnd as far an
practicable all llnna of the multifold
and varied charities of tha city could
he co-ordinated and combined, we feel
aure that better work nnd broader
work could be done by the united com
munity.
For Instance. Aujruetn has the Wid
ow* home, the Mary Warren home,
the Tubman home, the County home,
all worthy amt beautiful rharitlea, but
It does teem that If the vartona hoardH
and mnnairers Interested In thla line
of work could combine force* end
fund* and exchange Ideas and divide
up the work In a systematic and help
ful manner that possibly greater ef
ficiency could he obtained
And attain, Augusta has an Orphan
asylum, a Boys’ home, the Children’s
home, the Richmond County reforma
tory. all of them worthy and doing
splendid work, but the thought occur.i
that If In some way there eould he
greater co-ordination and co-operation
among all these and doubtless other
similar Institutions the work eould be
broadened, more ground covered and
greater efficiency obtained.
Doubtless otis of tbs very troubles
of the Associated Charities comes
from the fact that Augusta ts already
doing so much charitable work, work
tbet lakes up so much of the time
and funds of the large number of cltl
xens interested, that (t la harder and
harder to keep up the Interest and the
support necessary for the Aseoelated
Charities to do lta beat work for the
community.
A series of msetlngs: a series of
conference* held by all the many and
various rharitlea of the city, with the
idea of eo-ordltiatlng and co-operat
ing to one general end and purpose
could not but be helpful to nil the
charities Doubtless the charity work
of the rttv Is too big and too varied
to be bandied by any one or two
agenrlcn, but a close touch and a sym
pathy! c understanding among all the
various hoards, a clear definition of
their purpose an understanding of
their resources, and the fields to be
covered, could net hut he helpful to
the general ause and purpose which
underlies them all
AUGUSTA NEEDS A PUBLIC

It Is work for (he various women's

It Is up to the women of Augusta to

THE MIRROR’S DREAM.
"The very idea of putting mo In the
Hltlc." Mali] the little old-fashioned
table, aa II spread tint both leaves in
a gesture of despair. ”1 have atood
in the parlor downstairs for fifty years
and now I am consigned to the rub
bish room," and It dropped Its leaves
at Its side with a sigh,
“I was thqje longer than that," said
the sofa, "many a courtship 1 have
helped along." “What do you think of
me?” asked an old mirror that stood
on the floor leaning against the wall.
Why. I was In the family when her
husband's grandmother was a girl,
and she has doomed me to n dusty
Hltlo to dream out the rest of my
days.”
The shadows deepened In the room
and gradually the discarded mirror
ceased to complain. It had fallen
asleep, but later the moonlight
streamed In through the window and
showed that Ita dreams were pleasant
ones, for It dreamed of the old and
happy days.
\ ; Mrs . Jjjgr -M I
By and by the door opened and a
young girl fame In th* room. Her dark
hair wn* piled high on her head, and
her dark eyea looked ever the room
until they fell upon a chest In th* cor-
taken up with the city council of th«t
place the question of providing a pub
lic market for the convenience of the
residents They have determined to
put Jacksonville to the forefront with
other modern cities by seeing that the
town gets a modern public market
something like that in Savannah.
"If they atteceed In their efforts they
will deserve the thanks of the com
munity. Savannah would not thtnk of
dispensing with Its public market. It
has been a |>art of the life of the
thrifty and progressive housewife tn
Savannah to spend an hour or so each
morning al the market anil they have
always found It profitable and other
tv tee desirable to pay this visit. We
trust the ladies of the Florida city
will succeed In getting their wishes
granted tn this Immediate connection.
"While the women of Jacksonville
are crying for a market those of Sa
vannah eoein to be mostly concerned
about keeping what we have here
dean. It has been suggested that
there should be a woman s committee
to assist In keeping the market 1n Its
most attractive condition. One of the
spwikrre at the equal suffrage meet
ng the other night spoke of the need
of this and It has been referred to
before. Aldgrtnan livlngston who Is
chalrmsn of the market committee, we
are sure, would welcome such assist
ance hs the women could give him
He knows how valuable the ladlea can
be In work of this kind.
*it would not surprise ns to see
created before a great while an ad
visory committee of representative
women es the city whose duty will be
largely to advise as to the most sani
tary method of caring for this big
public trading place."

ner. She went to It and opened It and
took it pale gray dress with pink ruf
fles. She put it on; then she let down
her hair, which fell In curls over her
sh ulders.
She ran to the old mirror and looked
at herself. “I do look like grand
mother." she said. ”1 will wear this
to the old folks party tonight. Grand
father proposed to grandmother the
night she wore this dress." Her cheeks
turned very pink as she said this, and
she ran out of the room.
Then one day the door opened again
and a bride entered, leaning on the
iirtn of her young husband. There
were tears In her eyes, although she
was smiling.
She led him in front of the old mir
ror. “This old mirror,” she said, "has
seen all the brides in our family for
generations, and 1 am going far away
and may never look Into It again. My
brother's wife does not want 1* down
stairs. and I may be the last bride It
will ever see," and she passed her hand
over 11s frame caressingly.
And then she went away and the old
mirror was left to Its dreams for many
years. Then one day the door opened
again and a lady entered; with her
was a young girl. .
The lady looked around the attic
room until she saw the mirror. “There
It Is." she said. "Come and look In It,
dear." The young girl followed her.
"The last ‘.lmp I looked Into this dear
Old mirror." the lady said, “was the
day your father and I were married.
I never expected to have It for my own
then. But your uncle's wife wants to
remodel tho house and these things
are In the way; she does not want
Old-fashioned things and they are
willing I should have them."
“O! mother, they are beautiful,”
said the girl, looking around the room.
"We will never part with *hem; vve
will take them to our home and make
them forget they were ever discard
ed.”
And so the mirror nnd the sofa and
the table and many other pieces of by
gone days went to live where they
were loved, nnd the old mirror still
reflects dark-hatred girls and women
who smile Into its depths and see Its
beauty as well ns their own.

Tomorrow’s Story—“ How Mr. Fox
Lost."
Many u quaint bit of history Is em
balmed In the worda used in war.
For Instance, the terma "lane* ser
geant" and "lance corporal" arose
from the fact that in the old day* the
holder* of those rank* carried a lance
instead of a halberd, round the head
of which wa* twisted a slow match.
Just before a battle took place they
went around the ranks with these
torch-ltke Inner* and gave fire to the
matchlock men.
"Colonel" comes from the Italian
"lolonna," a column, the campagna
colonella having been the first com
pany of an Infantry regiment, the little
column which the "colonel" led. The
little "lieutenant” comes from a word
signifying "holding the place," e. g.,
a lieutenant colonel Is a sort of un
derstudy for a colonel, a lieutenant
looks after a company In the absence
of ihe captain, and so on.
Th* word ’’dragon" was flret used
of a regiment of mounted Infantry so
called from the "dragon" or short mus
kets with which they were armed; the
well-known cavalry call of "bootsvand
saddle" Is really a corruption of the
French signal "bout-belle,” or ’’put
on your saddles."
Admiral comes from the Arabic
"emir of bush.” meaning "lord of the
sea”; commodore conus from the
Italian "eommandntore"; "mate’’ is
from the Iceland nnd means an aqual;
and the term "giving quarter” Is be
lieved to liavo originated In the agree
ment which ,-xlsted In the old fighting
days that the ransom of a foot sol
dier should be one-quarter of Ills pay
for one year.

tfOW HELEN HELPED
CHAPTER XII.—SETTING THE TRAP
When Helen got home after being
out with Van Buren she could not g)
to sleep, for she only then began to
realize the chance she had taken in
going out with such a fellow. But
she did want to he'p Frank, and her
object in going out with Paul had been
to lenrn something from him about the
forgery, of which Frank was accused,
though she felt certain Paul Van Bu
ien was guilty of It.
As she lay and tossed In her led she
said to herself. “I must teil Frank
about it the first thing In the motn
inf, for he might misunderstand me If
he should hear of It from any one
else." And as Helen lay there think
ing about it all she suddenly hit upon
a pinn that she realized at once would
clear It all up and prove Frank's in
nocence to Paul Van Buren’s father.
She remembered Paul asking her to go
away .with him to some other country,
“where they could he happy forever
and ever," as he put It, and she re
solved to make capital of it and make
Paul confess in the hearing of his
father—-if It could be worked.
If the cotton acreage wr-e reduced to
per cent in 1915 there would be grown on
the reduced acreage, with a season as
good ss that of 1914, about seven and a
half million bales.
Seven and a half million bales at 10c
a pound would fetch as much money ss
nearly 11,000,000 bales at 7c a pound. At
lJe “ pound it would fetch as much as
almost 14,000,000 bales at 7c.
Seven and a half million bales at 70c a
pound could be given without loss, but
the larger yield sold at 7c a pound would
be grown under cost of production
tinier present condltons. then, assum
ing th:it the war will go on through next
summer, the farmers of the South can
partially recoup a prospective loss on
this year’* crop and grow without loss
a crop next vear if there is a curtailment
In production.
It would be folly to turn tho unused
land out to weeds If half of the acre
age this year could he planted In corn,
hay, oats and other food <Wop* for man
and beast, then would the Southern peo
ple not only get a reasonable price for
their cotton, tmt they would «'t have to
spend all of that money for something to
eat for man and beast.
Already there is a determination to re
duce largely tn the Carolina* and *n
Georgia.
An official of the Department of Agri
culture reported yesterday thit there
will be a reduction tn the western end
of the cotton belt, but If In the spring
there ie a lull tn fighting and a specula
tive advance In cotton a short-sighted
peltcv might dictate a lu-ge acreage.
if all the elements In the situation are
plainly and accurately presented to the
is beat to do that they wti govern them-
Is beat to do that they wll govern them

GO TO SLEEP.
The next morning at the office Helen
waited her chance and, while appar
ently talking about some office worn,
told Frank all about what she had
done and where she had been. When
Helen said she had been out with Paul
Van Buren she noticed the shock it
was to Frank, but all he said was,
“There, there, girlie, it was a narrow
escape for you, for if he had not goj
drunk, heaven knows what would havt
happened to you, for I know what he
is capable of. If you ever do such a
thing again let me know about It, so
I fan at least protect you?’
“No fear, Frank, dear.” answered
Helen, "I shall never take a chancy
like that again. But I have a plan—
the next time Paul Van Burean comes
in the office, you go at once and get
his father. Both of you stand on the
other side of that partition over by
my typewriter, so you both can over
bear, and I will make him confess, and
his father won’t have any doubt as to
the real forger.”—H. C.
(To be continued.)
barkers, merchants (wholesale and re
tail), large and small planters can be
gin this year turning the South away
from the folly of depending on a sin
gle crop, and begin h changed order
which will Insure us a permanent
prosperity.
It will not be possible for the South
to become at once an exporter of hay
and grain and of oattle and hogs as a
surplus crop.
But It Is possible for the South to keep
cotton as the money crop and keep the
money secured from cotton at home by
growing enough foodstuff approximatsiy
to supply our want*.
In the neighboring stats of Arkansas
ast year the hay, grain, mules, meat
and meal brougb Into the state cost sl,-
000.000 more than the entire cotton crop
of the state fetched.
It Is also a fact that th»re was Im
ported Into the South last year food for
man and beast and work stock which
cost approximately as much as cotton
brought. A policy of this sort la folly
even In normal times.
We will contlue to be a borrowing
people so long as we pursue this course.
If we grow enough stuff to feed our
selves and our stock, then would the
profit from cotton remain with us.
The work of diversification should be
gin right now.—Memphis Commercial
