BURTON - TAYLO R - WISE COMPANY,
DAYS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES,
JR., NUMBERED
Tells Herald Readers of Messages Received From Those on
His Trail and Many Narrow Escapes---Expects to Attend
Church Today, But Does Not State Which One---Mon
day’s Herald Will Give the Necessary Phrase to Con
sumate Capture and Reward Offered.
If I felt any better than I do feel I
simply couln't stand it another minute,
even if a little kid did hand me a pack
age yesterday afternoon late. I was
out on the Hill, near the beautiful spot
called The Pines. A kiddo was coming
along and I stopped him. "What’s the
name of this town?" I asked him. The
kiddo gave me the once over and
scornfully asked, “You must be some
kind of a fool, ain’t you?" and before
I could say yes—l mean no-—he walked
away and left me, and while walking
towards the next block for a car, a
school girl came by. I guess she was
a school girl, but I lifted my hat and
bowing very dignlfledly I said, ’’How
do you do?” she smiled and replied,
“Fine, thank you," but seemed a bit
confused never the less.
I received a message from Cliff Farr
of the Farr-Seigler Co., saying he ap
preciated my bouquet yesterday, but
he also said, “Tell them we are pre
paring for a big reduction sale of new
Spring suits, to commence about June
Ist, and we are going to give values
that ought to suit every man in Au
gusta. I guess he means “suit” in two
different ways, but I am giving the
message ns it was given to me. All
right, Cliff, here's hoping you have a
packed Store, and your past reputa
tion ought to clve it to you.
Phrase Monday.
Lots of you are waiting for the
phrase. Good. You shall have it Mon
day. It will be in The Herald Mon
day afternoon. Dog-gone! If "Puckie"
lets a man grab me, well, I am going
to throw a little fit and then tumble
right in it. I wonder if that fellow
who says I will be a “gone goober"
will make good. You are going to have
a chance, buddie, so get busy.
By the way, maybe some of you
would like to know when I have been
on a car recently. I was on Monte
Sano car, number 72, yesterday around
12 o'clock. On the first seat on the
right sat two young ladies, dressed in
blue with panama hats. They boarded
the car on Jackson near Broad. Re
member me? Too bad. Maybe you
will next time. I spoke to policeman
number 5 on that same corner and
stood quite near him In a cigar store
front for several minutes, and yester
dav afternoon about 1 o'clock, as the
gentleman with glasses left Howard's
Drug Store, number one with a lady In
blue corduroy skirt, white waist, straw
hat trimmed In blue and pink. I was
standing In the door as they left the
store.
Makes Correction.
I have had my dates sadly mixed In
one or two Instances. For Instance, 1
spoke in the story yesterday afternoon
of the lady cashier in Howard's Drug
Store number two. This should have
been number one. I got my trolley
twisted In several instances, calling
store number one. mimh.. two and vice

versa, but I’ve been straightened out
at last and will be correct in future. It
was simply a mistake In the number of
the two stores. But they’re both popu
lar, so what’s the difference anyway?
If Kress is worth five million dollars
what Is Wool worth? Search me. But
I made myself very much at home
again in a large ten cent store yester
day afternoon. Listened to some mu
sic, talked with several salesladies,
purposely bumped into a stout, red
faced man and then apologized, stepped
on the toes of a youpg lady, and, the
funny part of it was, she thought an
other man did it and gave him fits and,
in fact, enjoyed myself for a half hour
or more. Where the crowds are Is the
place for yours truly, and as I left the
postoffice yesterday two ladles punched
each other, looked at me and laughed
and made some comment I could not
overhear. lam a veiy bashful and re
tiring gentleman, ladies, but as long
as your remarks were about "Sher
lock,” I guess it’s all right!
I like iced tea. In a long glass, full
of ice. Provided it is the right tea,
and, by Jove, this Che-on Tea, sold
by the C. D. Kenny Co., hits the spot.
Mr. Kirby, the Kenny manager here,
says it’s Just as good as money will
buy. and I believe him. I am going
to have a little tea party before I get
away and let you try it. Where am I
going to have it? Slowly/slowly, my
dear, and never get in a hurry. When
Sunday comes, ice tea and newspapers
are my sole “diet."
What about this?
"Dear Old Sherlock:
"All of us are crazy about your
stories and you. If we have a little
party and invite you, will you promise
to come?"
Never made a promise in my life
that I didn't keep, consequently I will
promise, not. Impossible to accept in
vitations of any kind right now and
while I appreciate the honor, absolute
ly the only thing stirring Is the leaves
on the trees in the breeze. Thank you
Just the same.
I understand that all kinds of
schemes are afoot to perfect my cap
ture. Go right ahead, but remember
this, don’t try and put anything over.
You’ll find It will not work. Dd any
thing you please, so long as It is on the
square, but I have been to Villa Rica
Oa., and Goosebllle, Texas, so back up
before you try any "funny” work. You
may take that for what It 1s worth.
Remember. I will have arrangements
perfected for the descriptions on the
H. A H. Brannew Labels the early part
of next week. Of course, you like H.
& S. Brannew, everybody does, so It
will be a comparatively easy matter
to get the descriptions from the labels
when you make a purchase of this
now famous liquid food. Several hun
dred will be placed on the bottles with
three or four good descriptions of me.

TERMINAL QUESTION
FACES COUNCIL ON
MONDAYNIGHT AT 8
City council will meet Monday
night to consider the very important
question of a rail line to the wharf,
or in other words to consider an ordi
nance granting a franchise to the
Georgia Terminal company to reach
the wharf by running through the
500 and 400 blocks.
The city officials and officials of
the River and Catjal Commission have
considered little other than that ques
tion for some time because it is a
great big question and requires a
great deal of thought.
A committee from the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association made
a report on the matter and it was
withdrawn because the association
seemed to be divided on the question
and no report could express the opin
ion of the majority of members un
less time had been taken for a poll,
and sufficient time to do this was not
available. And, besides, It was
thought betteg to keep the M. and M.
out of the controversy.
The question of whether or not the
Georgia Terminal Company shall be
granted the franchise as expressed In
an ordinance acquiesced in by Mr. W.
S. Brand, or whether council shall in
sist either on Joint usage or Joint
ownership of the terminals is the one
which confronts council. The .South
ern railway Insists on Joint usage or
Joint ownership.

Richard Randlveer was a humble

of nine dollars he Proved himself to be
a Coming Captain of Finance by sav

the Bank and Developed a Character
that wouldn’t have Permitted him to
give a Nloljel to see the .Statue of Lib

Even his Doting Mother admitted to
the Ice Man that Richard was getting
Kinder tight with his Kale. Richard
didn't pay any Board because he Lived
at home and his Mother got a widow’s
Pension from the government of
Twelve Dollars a month. “That is
more than Too much,” muttered the
Dutiful son. He wouldn’t wear Gloves
when he Ihjlled the Cable of his Car
because Oloves wear out and Nature

least three people have come over
from the vicinity of Johnston and
positively Identified him since his in
carceration as the slayer of Long.
Attorneys Chambers and Irvin sued
out a writ of habeas corpus yesterday
before Judge Black and attempted to
get the negro released on the grounds
that he was being illegally held. So
licitor General Franklin represented
the state of South Carolina and on the
showing made Judge Black remand
the negro to Jail where he will be kept
until requisition papers can be se
cured.
It Is said that the negro was willing,
apparently, to go back to South Car
olina until after he had been identi
fied, but now he Is very unwilling to
go.
The negro who killed Mr. Long was
reported to have Joined the Tenth
Cavalry of the U. S. army and the
negro under arrest admits that he was
a member of the Tenth Cavalry and
received his discharge In the Philip
pines several years ago; that he came
back to the United States and stopped
In Texas, coming here about a year
ago. The negro has a habit of carrying
a revolver.
