FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18. Speaking ... THE... Public Mind 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. Send for free booklet on the blood to Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

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, Aiken, S. C. BILLICANS APPLY FOR GA.-ALABAMA FRANCHISE Rome, Ga. —Montgomery, last year in tbe Southern Deague, has applied for a franchise In the Qeorgla-Ala bama League. The directors of the league have the application under con sideration, and It is probable that Montgomery will be admitted, taking the franchise left vacant by the dis banding of the Gadsden team shortly before the end of the season last year. 26 FEET WATER IN HOLD.
