Whod Get the Fifty Licenses if the
•'ssoo and 50” Plan Went Through?
To The Herald.
A great deal has been said about
the proposed SSOO near-beer license
and the restriction of the saloons to
50. Now, I would like to know, who
would get those 50 licenses. There
are almost an hundred saloons in Au
gusta now and if the number is cut
down to 50 who will get the licenses'.’
The presumption is that those most
powerful politically would get the li
censes regardless of the fact that oth
ers who run just as orderly places
are as much entitled to them. Sup
pose there are two saloons on a cer
tain intersection of streets'and one of
must be cut out, which one shall
ON THE FIRING LINE
What it means to most men.
There are many true heroes that
have perished in the European war
who “never smelled powder,” but who
succumbed to sickness after hard
campaigning—coupled with bad water
and lack of food. The sick and de
bilitated man is as much out of place
In his struggle for life and existence
as he would be on the firing line. On
the other hand the strong, vigorous
man, his veins filled with rich, red
blood, has an enormous advantage in
whatever position he may be fated to
occupy, in war or business.
The prompt and certain action of
Diy Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery in driving all harmful germs and
impurities from the blood, sets in mo
tion the repair process which works
actively on the diseased membrane
where Catarrh flourishes unchecked or
where the skin gives warning of the
bad blood beneath by showing pim
ples and boils, also the skin clears up
and becomes wholesome and ruddy.
Thus by building up a new and per
fect covering and carrying out of the
system the Catarrh infested matter
by way of the blood, liver and kid
neys, Catarrh is overcome and perma
nently conquered.
There is not a drop of alcohol or any
narcotic in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi
cal Discovery, but in this safe vege
table remedy there is a mighty altera
tive power which by replacing the
blood impurities with pure, rich blood,
not only ends Gatarrhal conditions
wherever located, but vitalizes the
kidneys, stomach, liver, bowels and
every organ of the body. People who
suffer humiliation and mental misery
because of Pimples. Skin rash, Blotch
es, Eruptions, Boils, Carbuncles, are
especially benefited. It is not a secret
remedy for its ingredients are printed
on wrapper.

iit be? Each Is in the district where
saloons are permitted and suppose
each has an equal right to a license,
then which property owner must lose
the rental of his place and which sa
loon man his license?
This movement is all wrong, any
way. It has failed to secure the sup
port of a large number of our best
citizens. To license the saloons at
SSOO each and restrict the number to
5Q will mean that the city can get only
$25,000 in revenue and the favored 50
will do the biggest liquor businesses
of their lives in 1915 and the city will
be deprived of between $60,000 and
$75,000 of revenue. We cannot handle
this liquor problem in Augusta until
that dispensary over the bridge goes
out of business. Eet council vote the
SI,OOO license and do not be so im
practical as to adopt the "SSOO and 50"
proposition. A TAXPAYER.
HERE’E A MAN RIGHT—HE
BLACKS HIS WIFE’S SHOES.
To The Herald:
I think enough has been said about
“Old Batch”; he has caught it on all
sides. I am a married man and I
black my wife’s and daughter’s shoes
and when I get to mine they expand
from No. 7 to No. 12 and no doubt
Brother Batch, when he looks at hs
No. 2’s—two cowhides and one peck of
tacks to each shoes —no wonder he
lays down on the job, but there Is no
use for him to go around Georgia or
South Carolina, toting a box of black
ing and a brush on his shoulders, beg
ging any girl to have him. Any girl
who snaps, up such a proposition, I
think her common sense would rattle
ir. a mustard seed as early as a buck
shot would roll around in the Union
Depot. My advice to batch is to char
ter a flat car, for his No. 2, light a rag
to Salt Lake City, he might make a
mark in the mormon crowd, failing,
come back to Oklahoma. He no
doubt cold convince some Indian
squaw to take those chips off his
shoulder and take him in.
For centuries the squaw has been
the one to do all work while the old
man set around, set around.
Some of Batch’s letter was appro
priate, but the shoe part will go for
years to come, for in courtship the
lady will be sure to ask who blacks
shoes and as she on that occasion al
ways holds a full hand of trumps and
will win the game. I don’t care bow
the poor swain plays his cards.
A MARRIED MAN.
Liquor and Cocaine.
To The Heruld:
In speaking tile public mind, 1 think
the public should have only one mind,
and that mind to get rid of whiskey.
My lieavt thrilled with joy to know that
we still had a lew men and women who
were trying to rid Augusta of this great
curse, and who thought more of human
souls than they did of revenue. We
pray, God to give us more men like Mr.
C. E. Whitney, who would rather have
their taxes raised than license lawless
ness. If you are obliged to have sa
loons, obliged to wreck homes, man
hood, and womanhood, let me beg that
you place the saloons close together and
not scatter them all over town as they
now are. God s letter to us, His book,
tells us to abstain from even the ap
pearance of evil, and yet we dally in
the Devil's business. The saloons say
they sell near beer only, and to my per
sonal knowledge, they sell whiskey, be
cause boys, men and women, white and
black, go there and buy. This is not
hearsay, I know what I am writing
about; if you gentlemen will actually see
that no whiskey is sold in Augusta next
year, then when we are nearing the
celebration of the greatest event in the
world, we will not have so many heart
broken and deserted wives and mothers,
so much suffering and so many little
children begging for bread, and their
sons in prison and their daughters out
casts, truly as some one has said we
have sown to the wind and now we are
reaping the whirlwind, reaping destruc
tion in so many homes in this our beau
tiful city, and again as 1 read in this
morning s paper that Mr. Howard had
only been given ten months, it is sad to
think that an old man and especially one
of his experience, would be sending so
many souls to perdition, if the public
will lealrn what cocaine will do for peo
ple they will be amazed at so light a
sentence, I have lately seen a young
man, twenty-four years of age, a total
wreck from using cocaine and again Is
there any justice in this light sentence
on a man who knew exactly what he
was doing, but did not care only for
the money he was getting out of it? Just
a short time ago, there were several
white boys, ail tried at the same court
and each given ten months, and all their
crime together would not be as enorm
ous as tliis one man committed, these
were children Augusta boys, without ex
perience, and still these children must
be torn from their homes, from their
mothers, and put where there is nothing
to lead them to do better, while this ex
perienced man only gets ten months. Is
this justice?
Several Sundays ago, In th# afternoon,
I was driving down the road toward the
ferry, when out from a short road on
the right cnme an auto filled with
young men. who looked to be somewhat
under the influence of something, they
were coming from a gambling den, sit
uated in full view of the main road, and
about a mile from the city. All of
these boys looked to be under twenty. Is
there no relief? While we are sowing
to the wind, planting saloons and gamb
ling dens, we are reaping the whirl
wind, wrecked lives, homes, communi
ties, jail birds and outcasts. Now, these
are not fairy tales, but cold facts. Good
people, 'st’s get rid of these sinful
things, put the Devil behind us join
heart and hand with God, and drive or
vote whiskey out.
THE UNFORTUNATE'S FRIEND.
Let Nothing Be Sold In a Bottle.
Aiken, S. C., Dec. 17th, 1914.
To The Herald:
Will you allow an outsider to say a
few words concerning the liquor traffic
In Augusta? One might say I had bet
ter take care of my side or state. Well,
we are going to vote out the dispensary
curse next year just as we voted out
Cole Blease. The only remedy to get
rid of an evil Is to dig up the root and
branch of the evil In a city. A man
who sells liquor is an outlaw, he will
do anything for a dollar and If he Is al
lowed to sell soft drinks he will sell
beer and if be Is alowed to sell beer lie
will sell liquor. The only way to man
age such so-called men Is not grattf
them nny license to sell anything from
a bottle. Destroy the root and burn the
branch of the whiskey evil and then the
law-abiding people of Augusta can rest
In peace. L. POWBDU,

26 FEET WATER IN HOLD.
San Francisco— The Amerlcan-llaw
ailan Steamship Company here has re
ceived a wireless message early today
from its steel freighter Isthmian that
she was steaming slowly for San
Diego, Cal., with 26 feet of water In

HOW TO CLEAR
AWAY PIMPLES
Bathe your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply a little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, removes
pimples and blackheads, and leaves the
complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soan
stop itching instantly and speedily
heal skin humors, sashes, wounds and
chafing. Sold by all druggists. Doc
tors have prescribed Resinol for nearly
20 years.

hufferers from Consumption should
take the trouble to investigate what
Eekman’s Alterative has accomplished
in restoring others to health. Read
this:—
Griffith, Lake Co., Ltd.
“Gentlemen:—About Sept. 10th, 1908,
my mother-in-law was taken sick
with Catarrhal Pneumonia, which de
veloped Into Tuberculosis. In January,
when Rev. Wm. Berg, of St. Michael's
Church at Scllererville, Ind., prepared her
for death, he recommended that I get
Eckman’s Alterative and see if It would
not give her some relief. The attending
physician declared she had Consumption
and was beyond all medical aid. Prac
tically without hope for recovery, I in
sisted that she try the Alterative,
which she did. I am glad to say that
she soon began to improve. Now she
works as hard as ever, weighs twenty
pounds heavier than she ever did before
she took sick and Is in good health."
