YOUNG. Augusta, Ga, Dear Sir: What is the principal cause of unthrlft In American peo ple? Too many bargains. The larger half of property-owners won’t pay $1.75 a gallon for a good strong paint, the paint that takes least gallons, costs least, and wears longest. So they pay $2.62 a gallon for paint and get thrown In a some thing that looks like paint mlxed-ln with the paint thlr. stuff mlxed-ln Is the bargain It Is whiting, ehlna clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine, ami water; nothing but whitewash. They pay for the mixture $1.25 to $1 75 a gallon. All they see Is the price by the gallon; the bargain is there. They'll buy 20 gallons at $125 a gallon for a in-gallon Job: and they'll pay from $2 to $t a gallon for paint ing the stuff. The Job cos’ps more hy half or double or more than double, and wears half as long All this they don't see; they see only (he price of a gallon— no matter what's In It, They don't know Devoe; they don't know palm Tney know a cent; they don't know a dollar.

THE AUGUSTA IttKALB MAY SEND HORSES 10 ATLANTA SHOW Members of Augusta Driv ing Club Think That if a String Numbering Six Can be Secured, They will Attend. There Is a probability that Augusta will be represented at the Atlanta Horse Show in October. A well known driving clubman said today ; that If a string of six horses could be gotten together he would favor enter ing several classes, i There is one obstacle that stands in the way of sending horses, how ever, from Augu. a. That is the un usual length of the show. It will | embrace four days and nights. If It were possible for those Augusta gen tlemen who contemplate going to en ter the first, and second nights, or the third and fourth, the inconvenience would not be so great. As it is, though, it will be necessary U.r local horse-owners- to leave their business one whole week to attend the Atlanta show. By th ( . time horses are ship ped a day in advance, groomed for the ring In Atlanta, driven, groomed for the return trip and finally brought home again, at least six days will have been consumed. Indications are that the Atlanta show this year will be the greatest ever held. Mr. George H. Wilkins has been secured *.o manage the event and his reputation for putting on a good show is well known. GENTRY BROTHERS HERE NEXT THURSDAY Trained Animal Show So Popular With Children Will Give Two Perform ances. The Gentry Brothers' Show, which for a score of years has retained its Identity as a trained animal show, is coming to Augusta, The show will he here Thursday, Sppt. 24. Inasmuch as this Is the 20th sea son of the Gentry Brothers they have made a Jubilee year of It. Before coming to Dixie the two shows were milted after one had played the cen tral northwest, and the other had vis ited New England. Incidentally, two of the greatest feature acts of the bill boards of Baris last season have been added. One of these Is a handsome French girl who dances In the air while sus pended by her teeth. She is Margue rite Strlner, a native of Lorraine. Two years ago an older brother, who had sough his fortune in Amer ica, returned to his home in Lorraine. His stories fired the ambition of his sister, who then was a danseuse. She realized that to prosper she must da something novel. She conceived the idea of an aerial dance. At It she became an expert. She also swings Indian clubs while dangling by her teeth at the dome of the rnnvas coliseum. the other troupe Is the Weyler Brothers. This Is a troupe of acro bats In their whirls and mazes on the horizontal bars they are wonders. One of the brothers is a clown, and by a clever delusion he loses his head while swinging from one bar to anola er. The Gentry Brothers will give tv (i shows in Augusta. On the morn ing of show day they will give their street parade.

An Enraged Elephant Sets Many Snakes Free NEW Y’ORK.—Sending forth un earthly trumpets and straining at the hobbles that bound her, Luna, the big elephant brought from Luna Park, where she was known as Alice, to be a companion for Gunda, the children s friend, in the zoological gardens in the Bronx, spent the night with snakes hissiDg about her and other crawling things near, while Director Hornadav and every guard in the Bronx Park stood by with pitchford and spike ready to attack the huge, angry beast in case she should break her shackles. She appeared to be quieter at 6.50 a. m. today and the shackles w r ere taken from her legs so she could be led out. Instantly the beast became, furious. She charged the snake cages, overturning them, and the rat tlers and other small snakes writhed across the house and made for the open. The big snakes, many of them of the sort that crush ictims in their coils, were held back by the barred fronts that had been placed before their glass cages during the night. The elephant made a complete wreck of the snake house and before she got out slid had overturned nearly every cage and tank.

Mr. Loyless moved that the Asso ciated Charities be appropriated $2,- 000, with which to re-establish heads ol families in their respective occu pations. The motion passed. Mr, Rowland read the reports that were handed him by various mill sup erintendents, in response to a call sent out. The trend of their reports waa that a large percentage of mill operatives occupy mill houses, that Ihey have within the past three weeks been paid goodly amount of wages, that they should need no help, and that their grocers are ready to carry them. No plans for providing for them during employment, however, bav6 beep made by any mills, except possibly one Mr. Saxon of council, member of the Relief committee, said he knew of a number of grocers who had cut off flood sufferers, and expressed an opin ion that a large number would be un able to extend credit. He said that he himself had cut oft none, hut knew that there was more suffering that Ihe mill superintendents’ reports In dicated. Mr. Loyless expressed an opinion that a thorough investigation be made Considerable discussion followed Finally, a resolution made hy Mr. Pope was amended so that its Instruc tion is as follows "The president of Ihe Associated Charities obtain from merchants and druggists who havo been compelled to cut off credit a list of names, and verify thes° namos from the mill superintendents, secure “Be A Booster!” ( THroujh the courleay of the Arch Booster, Mr. Samuel Graydoft, of the -Boost club," of New York.)

Director Hornadav and a dozen men were outside the snake house and the elephant charged on Some of them had a start on the Ti trump eting beast and escaped to a further end of the Bronx Park. Otb *s tcok to trees and as Luna passed on they climbed down and began gathering rhe snakes that were twisting and squirming and hissing as they glided to the tall grass in the park. How many of the snakes escaped is not known. Luna charged from one end of the park to the other. Now and then she attacked some house in her hurry and once she made for the lion cages. She swiped her trunk against Uye bars and the lions and tigers clawed at her, the lions roaring and the tigers screaming. Luna then galloped to the open, A chain was still wound about ono of her front feet. One of the keepers got hold of this chain and connected it to another tied about a tre'e. When Luna started to run again she was fast, and in a few minutes she was pinned between two trees with all her legs bound. SILL FI it m tm An alarm came in at 2:05 p. m.

"Dr. King's New Discovery is the remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform, - ’ says Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Auburn Centre, Pa.” It is curing me of throat and lung trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieved only tem porarily.

Moffat, Yard & company will pub lish this autumn a three act play in Hank verse by John Jay Chapman, author of “Emerson and Other Es says" and “Four Plays for Children.” it will be entitled “The Maid’s For giveness." It is a romantic drama of the period of the first crusades. To make use of a phrase attributed to W. D. Howells, it Is “a tragedy with a good ending” Indeed from cer ain points of view it may be called a melodrama. expressions from both as to whether these people are worthy of help, and if ;hey are, get to work relieving them.” The meeting was adjourned until Wednesday.
