For sonic time the morning paper

Herald usee Baggage Kuprops and
Trolley Hervlee in order to distribute
Its papers, which circulation In the
Immediate trade territory of Augusta
represent* as many papers us *r<* de

Doubtless a casual construction of
the morning paper s figures nu«ai to
the average reader that The Chronicle
circulates three times as many papers
to subscribers outside of Augusta as
any other Augusta publication To
ascertain the facte. Tin Herald will

The Herald. It would have to be around

ACCUSING STATISTICS.
The murder rate in America ns com
pared to Kumpe Is very high, especial
ly, we ore sorry to see tn our Southern
rtites. New York, which we generally
think of as the naughtiest of cities
ha* a rute of only 7 to the 100,000,
against 1J In Han Francisco. S 3 In At*
hinta, 48 In Savannah. 68 In Memphis
Bui the rate In llerlln Is only 2 per
luO.Ooe. In Darts 4; In lmndon less
then 1.
The unfortunate thing is that this
abnormally blab murder rate among
the cities of the South is not nceom-
Denied by explanations of "aheap
whlak.-y ana wild negroes" It stands
acalnsi u*. as a section which fails to
enforce the law and we fear that there
Is no escape from the accusation.
As a nu.uer of fact, we do not know
what proportion of the murder* In At
lanta. Savannah and Memphis -nay he
among 'be negroes We cannot as we
write recsll what Auttusta's record ts,
but we find In these ataive sial lattes -
taken from a New Y'ork paper—enough
to make us pause and think What
ever the law Is, let us enforce It.
Murders occur with less frequency
w hen the full penalty of the law Is
meted out- They occur with less fre
quency when there is less pure alco
hol sold under the prohibition law aa
near-heec. The South has her white
man's burden to bear; she should bear
tt as a white man.

THE FAIRIES’ PICNIC.
On© night the fairluH hold a picnic.
It wan a queer time to hoM a picnic,
hut an you know fairies do not like to
lx* out in the daytime, although they
have to he once In a while.
The picnic wan lurid iu the woods,
and the fairies were seated around ft
cobweb tablecloth which a spider had
spun especially for this feast.
On this cloth wore dainty crystal
dishes fashioned from bits of rock,
and they were filled with all kinds of
good thlugs to eat.
They were ail so busy eating and
enjoy lug themselves that they did not
nee two big round eyes looking at
them from a limb of the tree under
which they were Htttltng.
A goblin, which had been out late,
chanced to hear their laughter, and
very cautiously approached to see
what was going on.

The* fairies screamed and Jumped,

Some Toys Will Be Scarce--Buy Early
American manufacturers have risen
to the emergency and supplied any
threatened deficiency in the toy stocks.
The children’s Merry Christmas is as
sured.
Nevertheless there is more reason
than ever this year for shoppinn early.
There will be few if any belated imports.
American manufacturers have been
taxed to the utmost limit of their capaci
ties.
Today the advertising columns of The
Herald are an index to the full stocks of
the stores as they will be every day from
now until Christmas.

the lemonade he would go, for the
Ikiwl was so high he could not get
out.
“Where did you com# from?" asked
one fairy.
"Help me out and I will tell you,”
said the goblin. ,
Two of the fairies held out a hand
and the goblin hopped to the ground.
He took a piece of sponge cake and
dried hie face and hands and then he
told the fairies a wrong story.
“I was up In the tree putiing back
some bird's eggs that a had hoy had
taken from a nest," said the naughty
goblin. “1 tried to be careful and not
disturb your party, but l lost my bal
ance.”
"You have spoiled the lemonade,”
said one fairy, ' iuul 1 think you should
repay us In some way.”
"Yes,'' said another, ‘‘if you can do
such wonderful things under the eartn
make something to grow that will add
to the beauty of this scene.”
“I will," starting for a rock not far
away, but a wise fairy stopped him.
“Walt a minute,” she sntd, "If you
once get away I do not believe you
will ever think of us again."
"Give us your cap and shoes, anil If
you keep yoi r promise you will find
them by this rock tomorrow night.”
Tho goblin hesitated, but the fairies
surrounded him. “Yes,” they all said,
“If you Intend to keep your promise,
leave your cap and shoes.”
"1 cannot get anything ready for to
night,” said the goblin, removing his
rap and Hhoes, “but 1 promise you that
tomorrow morning early you will find
a flower growing so thick that It will
he like a carpet, and so small that you
will know it was made especially for
yon."
“We will wait." said the fairies, “un
til the sun shows the top of his head,
and If there are no flowers you lose
your cap and shoes."
The gohlln ran to the rock and dis
appeared and the fairies went hack to
(heir feast, but one by one they fell
asleep, for It was a long time to wait,
and the alrles have to be busy to
keep u'wake.
As they slept, all around them little
green roots were pushing through the
ground and tiny green leaves and buds

fairies awoke with a cry.
All around them on every spot
where a fairy had lain, grew a pretty
little violet.

The habits of
Working Men
A professor of Columbia University
has just completed a test of charac
ter of 1,000 working men of differ
ent sections of the United States and
his report reveals some Interesting
tendencies of the average laborer.
Prominent among his discoveries
was the revelation that nine men in
every ten laborers occupy a large
amount of their spare time In reading
the newspapers, and thin this num
ber of them are subscribers to their
local publications.
Next to the time spent with his
family, the American laborer divides
I ts spare moments in visiting friends
and In reading newspapers.
Of the thousand men in\ sstigated,
«9 nationalities and 164 occupations
were represented, and 300 of them be
longed to trade unions. There were
560 church members, while 420 did not
profess religion. Six men In every
ten are regular patrons of the picture
shows and only three in ten used in
toxicant* In any form.
Taking the one thousand men inves
tigated as a fair example of the aver
age laborer, the American workman
reveals the strongest social spirit of
that of any civilised nation on the
globe.
