In the Days of Boats on the Savan

Savannah today. Both boats have
considerable cotton on board and large
quantities of merchandise."
The Swimming Pool at the Y. M.

party gathered for the occasion and
an enjoyable evening was had.
E. T. Charlton was appointed gen
eral agent of the traffic department
of the Central Railroad at Augusta
in May, 1897, Zlba Bennett, formerly
holding the position, was transferred
to another location. Newspapers
telling of the appointment of Mr.
Charlton, said: “The business in
terests of Augusta and the travelling
public generally could not have been
better pleased even had they been
previously consulted, than by the ap
pointment of Mr. Charlton who Is so
well-known and so highly esteemed
in this city.
"No man in the service of the com
pany hus ever been thought of more
highly in Augusta. and certainly
none have more ardent and stead
fast friends than he. Mr. Charlton
has held this position before, and
the fact that he is returned here is
not only a compliment to him on the
part of his superior officers, but is
recognition of Augusta as one of the
most valuable competitive points in
the Central’s territory."
The following official notice of the
appointment was given by the railroad
company:
"Savannah, Ga., May 19, 1897.
"Mr. E. T. Charlton Ls appointed

In an Augusta newspaper printed In
December, 1894, there appears the
following "scrap" of Information:
‘"WHAT WAS EXPECTED.
•“ To be candid I will sav that I,
In common with other Hussars, I
presume, had expected In the morning
paper a pleasant little compliment for
having so quickly and at such sacri
fice of personal Interests and com
forts gone to the aid of the sheriff.
To have received, instead, this fling
at ourselves and our company has cut
to the quick, I assure you. Surely
this is a poor way to encourage the
military* It ls as poor encourage
ment, and poorer, than we get from
the state. I have nothing more to
say. I know that this Injustice will
be atoned and do not desire to ag
gravate what has already been said
and doi».' ”
“In this connection we publish the
following card of thanks:
“ 'I beg to return thanks to Capt.
A. J. Twiggs and his efficient com
pany the Richmond Hussars, for their
promptness in responding to my call,
and for the efficient service rendered
by them in assisting in protecting the
peace, dignity and good order of the
state.
11 ‘T q lan Tr!nVi 4 n n/M 4L.x i« t •
‘ 'I also wish to add that while his
company was on duty there was no
warrant for any criticism on their
discipline, as the captain and his com
pany were in readiness for service un
til relieved by me.
" 'PATRICK J. O’CONNOR.
■' 'Sheriff, Richmond County.”
The foregoing remnant of a news
paper “story” evidently had reference
to the time when the Hussars served
•'lot duty at the jail while Jabe
Wlggllns. negro desperado, was In
cacerated there for the well-remem
bered Sunday afternoon shooting near
the North Augusta bridge, in which
an old white man was killed. Police
man Stringer seriously wounded, am]
Policeman Joe Murray badly wounded
by Wiggins. To the best of mv recol
lection that tragedy occurred on a
Sunday afternoon a few days before
Christmas, in 1894, or it may be that
it was on Christmas Eve of that year
Another “remnant” of the storv
shows as follows: ". . . . force of
officers are continually on duty with
in the structure. They will be on
““'y t . here tonight and will remain
at Vast for several nights yet.
i p ; sheriff, we learn from those
intimate with him, has now no spe
c i.l rfeas °h to suppose that any mob
will assault the prison, but he is
anxious to be on the safe side
"Whatever disposition there was to
bring Wiggins to swift account
through mob-law has been dissipated
by the determination of the court of
ficers to bring about a speedy trial
or the accused. Prompt trials by
th *.r!?' v s a Preventive for lynching.
The wounded men are getting
along nicely. Murray is doing as well
as could be hoped; and Stringer, too.
is progressing favorably."
SEN SATI ONAL ARREST —A man
giving his name as T. E, Jones was
arrested and placed In the barracks
charged with cheating and swindling.
His game was said to have been "a
1 the r se P art » ” The method
employed by Jones in attaching to
himself the hard-earned coin of
others was by “selling printed slips
Purporting to be a pass to Sandford,
Florida. The slip bears the name of
‘'■/.Georgia road. In addition he
writes a telegram telling J. M. Wil

Cotton Market, 1894—Thirty years
ago middling cotton was bringing 414
cents per pound on the Augusta Mar
ket. The extremely low price had
everybody—merchants, farmers, house
keepers, all—"in the air." Large num
bers Of people bought cotton at the
ridiculously low price and held the
cotton on storage until should come
a time wh«in the price would bo bet
ter. I have been told of one busi
ness man 111 Augusta, at the time In
ordinary circumstances and not bv
any means a rich man. who bought
quantities of cotton at the low price
borrowing money from the banks to
.??' ,: nd y\ at h * realised a vast
profit from his purchase. In fact
the foundation for his fortune which
In later year* came U> he quite large,
was laid on the cotton market and

*° .•"•ST ypar ' , 1 an 'l I »m
told that his surviving estate was
quite large. Anyway, there are evi
dences today among Ids survivors nnd
descendants that he left them "pret
ty well fixed. He bought around
414 cents and sold above ten cents.
His purchase was several hundred
oalcs.
.v. A . n o W " l ? ap, ‘ r .,i! Pm of ,hp time told
the following: One of the banks, the
National Bank of Aogusta, during the
last few days advsneed 150,000 to
residents of Augusta for the pur
pose of purchasing cotton. Another
bank has loaned to Augusta people n
large sum for similar purpose The
other banks In the city have also
made large loans to the same end.
This means that the business men of
Augusta have determined to hold cot
ton and not ltt the *tar>le go at pres

cotton will be held In thla market.”

SOMETHING NOVEL BUT NOT
MODERN—A SENSIBLE
CONTRACT—
.“MARRIAGE OF LUCY STONE.
UNDER PROTEST
The paraon officiating at a mar
riage solemnised in 1855 wrote the
following concerning the ceremony;
"It was my privilege to celebrate
May-day by officiating at a wed
ding in a farm house among the
hills of West Brookfield. The bride
groom was a man of tried worth, a
leader in the Western anti-slavery
movement, and the bride is one
whose fair name is known through
out the nation, one whose ypre in
tellectual qualifies are only^ excell
ed by the private beauty of her
heart and life.
“I never perform the marriage
ceremony without a renewed sense
of the iniquity of our present sys
tem of laws, in respect to marriage
—a system by which man and wife
are one—and that one is the hus
band.’ It was with my hearty con
currence, therefore, that file follow- :
ing protest was read and signed, as
a part of the nuptial ceremony, and
I send it to you that others may be
induced to do likewise.
" T. W. H,
THE PROTEST
“While we acknowledge our mu
tual affection, by publicly assuring
the sacred relationship of husband
and wife, yet In justice to ourselves
and a great principle we deem It
our duty to declare that this act
on our part Implies no sanctibn of,
nor promise of, voluntary obedience
to such of the present laws of mar
riage as refuse to recognize the
wife ns an Independent rational
being, while they confer upon the
husband an injurious and unnatural
superiority, investing him with
legal powers which no honorable
man would exercise and which no
man should possess.
“We protest especially against
the laws which give to the hus
band—
"l—The custody of his wife's
person.
“2—The exclusive control and
guardianship of their children.
“3—(blurred so badly in the old
paper thflg item is not legible).
“4—The absolute right to the
product of her Industry.
“s—Also against laws which give
to the widower so much larger and
more permanent an Interest In the
property of his deceased wife than
they give to the widow in that of
her husband.
“6—Finally against the whole sys
tem by which ‘the legal existence of
the wife is suspended during mar
riage,’ so that in most states she
neither has a legal part in the
choice of her residence, nor can she
make a will, nor sue or be sued In
her own name, nor inherit pro
perty.
“We believe that personn! inde
pendence and equal human rights
can never be forfeited, except for
crime; that marriage should be an
equal and permanent partnership,
and so recognized by law; that
until It is so recognized, married
partners should provide against tho
radical injustice of present laws by
every means in their power.
"We believe that where marital
troubles arise no appeal should be
made to legal tribunals under ex
isting laws, but that all difficulties
should be submitted to th e equit
able adjustment of arbitrators mu
tually chosen.
"Thus reverencing law, we enter
our earnest protest against rules
and customs which are unworthy
of the name, since they violate jus
tice, the essence of all law.
"Henry B. Blackwell,
“Lucy Stone.”

Gas Company’s Cooking
Demonstration Commences
Tomorrow With Miss Cep
halie Lewis Preparing
Dainty Dishes
The ladies of Augusta and the
men folks, too will be delighted to
learn thta Miss Ceplialie Lewis,
whose reputation Is known far and
wide by the many delicious dishes
she is competent to prepare is to
give a inamoth demonstration for
The Gas Light Company of Au
gusta at No. 854 Broad street, next
to the Rice and O'Connor Shoe
Company commencing Monday
morning at 10:00 o’clock and con
tinuing through L he week. Tlrls
will be a free cooking demonstra
tion under the personal supervision
of Sales Manager William H. Mat
lack of the Gas Company. Mr.
Matlack in speaking of the demon
stration had the following to say:
"The cooking demonstration we are
going to conduct next week is for
the sole purpose of demonstrating
the many possibilities of the Cham
bers Gas Range, the range that
cooks with the gas turned off and
it is not our purpose to make it a
sales demonstration, quite to the
contrary—our idea is to have Miss
Lewis who has charge of our Home
Service Work demonstrate the
merits of the Chambers Range.
We believe all Women are interest
ed in good cooking and that the
women of Augusta will be doubly
interested in this wonder range,
which not only cuts the time usual
ly spent in cooking in half but also
gives a saving in her gas bill of 50
per cent.”
Nothing will he offered for sale
during the week, but you are in
vited to call and see this range
under actual cooking and baking
conditions. Miss Lewis will pre
pare before your eyes many fine
dishes which she wishes you to try.
In ndditlon an egg separator wilt
he presented to the first three hun
dred women attending this demon
stration and you may receive a
range without cost. Miss Lewis
and Mr. Matlack will ho glad to ex
plain In detail their proposition
whereby some Augusta lady Is
going to own one of these hand
some ranges without a single penny
cost to her.

A firm of London engineers hns

The V7O was a Mg ship of tlie

bles and rasing the ship by meana
of floating dock. This latter meth
od was used about six weeks ago
when the vessel was raised eleven
feet before the Iron chains which
were then used broke, thus allow
ing the prize to settle once again
to the bottom. Wire cables were
then substituted which supported
the enormous weight long enough
to permit the dock to be placed
under the ship.
The dqck was then towed near
the shore where workmen will start
cutting through the heavy steel
hull and dismantle the fittings. At
present the engineers are unable to
estimate the ship's value but after
they had pierced the heavy seaweed
coating they found the metal to be
in a better state than was expected
They claim that the salvage work,
though costly, will show a good
profit but It will not make a very
large contribution Ito aiding the
reparations payments.
Several of the other ships which
were scuttled In the Flow will be
raised In a similar manner but It
will take between three and four
years to complete the work.
Rupture Kills
8,000 Annually
Eight thousand persona each year
are laid away—tho burial certificate
being marked "Rupture.” Why? Be
cause the unfortunate ones had neg
lected themselves or had been merely
taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction anil paying no attention
to the cause. What are you doing?
Are you neglecting yourself by wear
ing a truss, appliance or whatever
name you choose to call it? At best,
tho truss Is only a makeshift—a false
prop against a collapsing wall—and
cannot he expected to act as more
than a mere mechanical support. The
binding pressure retards blood circu
lation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of that which they need most
—nourishment.
But science has found a way, and
all truss sufferers In the land are in
vited to make a FREE test right In
tho privacy of their own homes. The
PLAPAO method ls unquestionably
the most scientific, logical and suc
cessful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
