TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 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.

Announcement I wish to anounce to my friends and to the public gen erally that I am again located at my old stand, 726 Reynolds street, just opposite Clarke & Butt, and am in a better posi tion than ever to serve them. I have installed the most modern and up-to-date machinery for automobile repairing, and guar antee satisfaction. My 14 years experience in the automobile re pair business and the close study I have made of It puts me in position to give excellent service, which I do.

GUNN EXPERT AUTOMOBILE RE PAIR WORK, 726 REYNOLDS STREIT, CITY. 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.

Much Business and 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*.

Star of "The Squaw Man,” the first picture made by the Jesse 1., Lasky Feature Play Company, and which created so pronounced an impression throughout the motion picture in dustry and with the general public, 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.” THEKAISER DIDN’T GET THE POSTCARD Berlin, v : i the Hague and London. —That Field Marshal Paul von Hin denburg is considered the man of the hour in Germany, is Indicated by an incident reported in the newspapers.

HRS, mil 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.
