Local Union of Journeymen Plumbers
Enter Into The Discussion
To the Editor of the Herald. Sir:
We read with much interest the
controversy between “A Journeyman"
and the Master Plumbers of this city.
In the Master Plumbers' reply to "A
Journeyman” they have taken it on
themselves to inject the Journeymen
Plumbers’ PTnion into the affair. For
that reason we ask the privilege of
replying through your paper.
First allow us to state that the
Journeymen Plumbers’ Union No. 150
(as a body) up to date has had noth
ing to do with the proposed ordinance
but frankly admit that a many
of our members (citizens of Augusta)
along with the non-union plumbers
are taking an active part in the fight
How To Get Rid of a
Bad Cough
A Home-Made Remedy that Will
Ho It Quickly. Cheap and
Easily Made
If you have a bad cough or chest cold
which refuses to yield to ordinary reme
dies, get from any druggist 2Vi ounces
of Pinex (50 cents worth), pour into a
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Start taking
a teaspoonful every hour or two. In 24
hours your cough will be conquered or
very nearly so. Even whooping cough is
greatly relieved in this way.
The above mixture makes a full pint
—a family supply—of the finest cough
syrup that money could buy—at a cost
of only 54 cents. Easily prepared in 5
minutes. Full directions with Pinex.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup prepa
ration takes right hold of a cough and
gives almost immediate relief, ft loos
ens tlie dry, hoarse or tight cough in a
way that is really remarkable. Also
quickly heals the inflamed membranes
which accompany a painful cough, and
stops the formation of phlegm in the
throat and bronchial tubes, thus ending
the persistent loose cough. Excellent for
bronchitis, spasmodic croup and winter
coughs. Keeps perfectly and tastes good
—children like it.
Pinex is a special and highly concen
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extruct, rich in guaiacol, which is so
healing to the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for “2>A ounces of Pinex,” —do
not accept anything else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
ly refunded goes with this preparation.

to better the conditions of plumbing
as It being installed at the present
time In Augusta by a certain class of
Master Plumbers. We as a body
heartily endorse the stand taken by
"A Journeyman" in his attempt to ex
pose the class of work being done
here. We accuse the Master Plumbers
Association of making an unfair at
tack on this local union. We further
more believe they made this attack
for the sole purpose of avoiding the
issue in question as brought out by
“A Journeyman." All charges made
by him must have been true or they
undoubtedly would have been de
nied. The Master Plumbers’ Asso
iation stated in their card that if they
had Figned the agreement with the
Journeymen Plumbers’ Association it
would have given the Journeymen the
authority to take possession of the
business and conduct it as they saw
fit. Wo are of the opinion that the
public would be greatly benefitted If
some of the firms were taken over
by some one that employed competent
workmen. Four of the larges* plumb
ing firms in the city have signed these
agreements before and are now in
business. Why don’t the Master
Plumbers come out and tell the pub
lic the clause in the agreement they
objected to? It was because the agree
ment called for nothing hut first class
mechanics as plumbers and they* re
plied they had the right to work any
class of mechanics they saw fit. Our
members did not Intend to -work with
this class of workmen and have all
inferior work laid at their door as
has been done. If the Master Plum
bers will stop and think they will see
that our agreement did not even call
for a closed shop as is often done,
which gave them the the privilege of
employing any competent mechanic
they wished. If the mechanics they
are working at the present are first
class plumbers why do the Mastet
Plumbers object to the proposed or
dinance?
We note this from their card: "On
the night of November 17th, under
cover of darkness they (meaning the
plumbers’ union) scattered broadcast
over the city of Augusta hand bills
with the names of the Master Plum
bers who are unfriendly' or rather
stated "unfair to union labor." This
statement is absolutely false and we
defy them to prove that this body had
anything to do with the matter in any
shape or form. This local union im
mediately appointed a committee of
three to investigate this matter and
try and find yvho is responsible for
the hand hills being circulated. We
have reasons to believe it was done by
men who were not friendly to us.
Trusting the public will see that
this fight is not for the benefit of any
official body hut for the health of en
tire community, we are.

EXCURSION TO OPEN
TRADE IN VIDALIA
Mr. Cargile in Augusta Con
ferring With Railroad Of

Great Benefits Expected from
Scheme.
Mr. A. B. Cargile, editor of the Vi
dalia Advance, and seceretary of the
Vidalia chamber of commerce, was In
Augusta on Monday*, conferring with
officials of the Georgia & Florida
Railroad anent the Trade Excursion
which Mr. Cargile is promoting from
Vidalia and adjacent points to Au
gusta on or about December 15th.
Mr. Cargile has in view the estab
lishing of trade relations between
Augusta and Vidalia, whose commerce
has hitherto been going to other
points when it should naturally be
long to this city. The aim of the ex
cursion would be to open in Augusta
a commercial center for Vidalia and
its vicinity which would be of great
economic value to all concerned. Mr.
Cargile has this object sincerely at
heart and has devoted much space in
his paper and a great deal of energy
towards its accomplishment. The final
success of the proposition will he in
a great measure due to his efforts.
The merchants of Augusta are anx
ious to co-operate in the scheme, and
the Georgia & Florida Railroad is
lending strong support to the under
taking.
The new Georgia & Florida sched
ules are arranged to facilitate travel
between Vidalia and Augusta as much
as possible. Trains leaving at con
venient hours will arrive from down
country during the morning, and will
convey visitors hack again in the af
ternoon, allowing four to six hours in
the city and completing the trip easi
ly and expeditiously in one day*.

throughout the motion picture in

will make his appearance In the sec
ond Lasky-Farnum production, "The
Virginian,” from the book by Owen
Wister, and the play of Kirk La Shello.
“The Virginian” is in four hundred
scenes, required a cast of three hun
dred players, is composed of five
beautiful parts.
Almost everyone is familiar with
the story of “'The Virginian,” his quick
temper, his magnificent personality,
and his power to make friends; his
ardent worship for Molly, the little
school teacher, and his devotion to
duty, when he is compelled to hang
his best friend, Steve.
"The Virginian” in book form was
most interesting; in play form it was
one of the sensations of its period,
but as a phot-o-play, it surpasses in
every detail, both the book and the
stage production, and is said to be
one of the most thrilling and absor
bent of screen productions.
The cast of the “Virginian” was
especially selected by Cecil B. DeMllle,
the director general of the Lasky
forces, and contains many faces
pleasantly remembered as having ac
quitted themselves excellently in "The
Squaw Man.”

The South Must Feed Itself
and Cut Down Cotton
Acreage.
Throughout tho cotton bolt men are
now. thanks to the unprecedented
conditions precipitated by tho Euro
pean war, facing one indisputable fact
that has come to he recognized by all.
The Southern farmer MUST, for his
own salvation, for the South’s salva
tion, as an agricultural section, pro
ceed hereafter about bis farming on
a different basia.
Thero must of necessity be a radical
departure from the old methods of
farming.
COTTON —which staple the South
alone can grow profitably muat not
merely bo curtailed in its production
at least until after peace has been re
established and normal demand re
stored in Europe—the rhif market for
the South’s cotton—but. in the mean
time, cotton must not constitute tho
South’s main crop.
If the Southern farmer is ever to
come fully into his own, make the
most of his unparalleled opportunity,
enjoy the full measure of prosperity,
fulfill his destiny, there must never
again tie produced in one year a cot
ton crop as big as the record-break
ing crop of 1914.
Instead of cotton in such surplus
over anil above and beyond the world
demand even in times of peace and
general prosperity the Southern far
mer must—and lie now knows it better
than ever before -produce food, food
for himself, his family, his farm, his
stock, and food to help feed the hungry
world.
The farmer Is learning, through bit
ter experience perhaps, hut he is
learning, which is the vital point. He
Is seeing now the logic of the law of
supply and demand and of some other
things besides.
A 7,000,000-hale crop of cotton, he
now knows, will sell for more than a
14,000,000-balo crop and he need not
spend the money ho receives for a
7,000,000-halo crop for food stuffs and
fecdstuffs—because making half a
cotton crop he may make his own
foodstuffs and feedstuffs at the name
time.
But in the present, crisis having
made more than 14,000,000 hales this
year to supply a world that because of
the upheaval In Europe cannot take a
third of flits monster crop and the
0,000,000 bales brought over uncon
sumed from the 1018 crop—lt will he
suicidal for the South to raise even
half a normal cotton crop next year.
Even should the war In Europe end
today It would ho years before the
European demand for cotton will be
what. It was before the nations of
Europe turned from tho pursuits of
peace to the gruesome business of
slaughter and destruction. The peo
ple of Europe have not the buying
power they had four months ago. A
year from now they will not have the
buying power (hey have today- -un
less the war is ended before then— l
and today molllons are destitute refu
gees. Instead of demand for Ameri
can cotton, across the seas comes In
sistent demand for American charity.
In the meantime uni 11 the world
demand for tho Mouth's cotton re
assumes normality the Southern far
mer must find that which will serve
iri large part ns substitute for cotton
—money crops, ready money crops if
you like.
Ho who has been growing cotton,
depending on cotton and cotton money
predicating his well-being and basing
his calculations principally on cotton,
is now at the cross-roads.
In the revolution of Southern agri
culture, now beginning, the farmer
stands In vital need of the moat In
telligent assistance, not only of those
agencies primarily anrl fundamentally
organized for his benefit a* an Indi
vidual and an a class- the agricultural
collagen, the extension work conduct
ed through close co-operation between
the federal and state departments of
agriculture, demonstration agents sent
out to spread the results of experi
ments made by experts on test farms
but In addition, the Intelligent and
the sincere aid of public Journals, the
newspapers, which to lend all the as
sistance possible In the emergency
should concern themselves with the
present vital necessity of spreading
broadcast the Information the farmers
must have before them while the agri
cultural revolution is working Itself
out, and the continued and future wel
fare of the Houthern farmer.
The farmer Is at the cross-roada.
There are no better sign-boards than
the newspapers. If It Is advisable, If
It serves liny purpose—as It undoubt
edly does for the agricultural col
leges to send out lecturers to advise
the farmers and for the demonstration
agents to be located amongst the far
mers, how much wider and larger au
diences could the dally newspapers,
working in close co-operation with the
agricultural colleges and the state de
partments of agriculture have.
Right now the farmers stand in,
need of expert advice —constantly cir
culated—not only on what crops to
plan instead of cotton but how to cul
tivate these substitute money crops,
methods of marketing, what breeds of
hogs and cattle and poultry will thrive
under certain conditions, the proper
care of livestock, scientific manage
ment of dairies and poultry farms that
the best results may be obtained.
The methods employed by the agri
cultural colleges and the state de
partments of agriculture in dissemi
nating this and other information are
necessarily limited. The average farm
journal—even if the farmer read them
—as generally ns might ho advisable
-—are unfortunately more technical
than practical. But since the inaugu
ration of the rural free delivery more
farmers than ever before have been
keeping in touch with world events
through the daily newspapers than
ever before. The daily newspaper goes
into the remotest rural sections.
The daily newspapers of the South
have imposed upon them a clear duty
