For sonic time the morning paper hn» been carrying the following state ment on Us editorial page: The total set otid-elaaa pontage paid by all publication** on tered at the Augusta pout of fice (eight seoond-claas *‘per jnllfl" in all) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1014, amounted to $6,735.14!

The Herald 1* just in receipt of 11* dally payment slips, made to the ikihi office durum the month of November. They totul $241.42 or at the rate of $2,897.04 a year. In addition The 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 livered by mull urnl on which postage ia paid. 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 rionato cheerfully a certified cheek of SJOu to the Associated Charities ol tins city, it The Chronicle'.- out-of-tow u circulation is anythin* like ihr.-e times or two times or evun conahh-rably ■router Ulan the out-of-town clrculu tlon Of the Augusta Herald.

Nor the Chronicle so have three times the out-of-town circulation of The Herald. It would have to be around 18,000, while Its last government re port, both city and out-of-town totals was given and published nt 1,121. The Herald's figur.w for the same period showed 11.17* or a lead over The Chronicle of 2,054 a day for the pust six months. 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.

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. rx> £**3* w , 4Ve A SiArO Hi' could not kci» what wns on tho Inblc. so ho climbed Into a tree to get a bettor view.

The* fairies screamed and Jumped, for It certainly did give them a scare, bill when they saw the goblin sliding around on the tee, they began to laugh. The poor goblin did not know whether tt would be plenaanter to 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.

"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 of blue appeared, and «s the sun fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. showed the tip of his bright head, the fairies awoke with a cry. All around them on every spot where a fairy had lain, grew a pretty little violet. The gohlln had kept his promise, the ground looked as If It were cov ered with a carpet of blue.

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.
