„ PEOPLE WILL TALK
Yes, people will talk;
The saying Is true,
They talk about me
And they talk about you.
If we go to the opera.
Someone will say
We should go to church
And learn how to pray.
If we go to church
And offer up prayers.
They say we are hypocrites,
And putting on airs.
If we are rich,
They call us a thief,
Scoff at our sorrows
And laught at our griefs,
If we are poor,
They say that we shirk,
We're always lazy,
And never would work.
They talk of our prospects,
They talk of our past,
And if we are happy,
They say it can't last.
They talk of our loved ones,
They talk of our foes,
They talk of our follies.
They talk of woes.
They talk of our joys,
They talk of our fears,
They talk of our smiles,
They talk of our tears.
They talk if we are single,
They talk if we are wed,
They talk of us living,
They talk of us dead.
Tho we live like an angel,
With circumspect walk.
Our efforts are useless.
For people will talk.

SLOVUOPERATORS
USE 11, SAYS
OBSERVER
Until Country Telegraph
ers Learn Importance of
Government Messages
Weather Bureau is Ham
pered.
Mr. D. Fisher, local weather ob
server, says it will never be possible
for him to get good telegraph serv
ice from his various substations until
“country" operators are forced to
realize the importance of iron-clad
promptness in the matter of forward
ing government messages.
"The government and the Western
Union are entered into contract, the
terms of which are perfectly plain.
We keep up our end, they are expect
ed to do the same. The average coun
try operator, though, Ihinks no more
of a government message than he
does an ordinary commercial or per
sonal telegram. For Instance: a few
days ago a certain operator at one
of the sub-sttion towns in the cotton
region recieved a government mes
sage, filed in his office at 8 o’clock,
He went to breakfast, took his own
good time, evidently, and forwarded
the message about 9:15 o'clock. Now
that operator will be reprimanded,
and for a week or so he'll be prompt
Probably it will he a week, or even
a year, before the Importance of
promptness is felt again. By that
time he is more than apt to have be
come careless again.’’
Mr. Fisher tells another story of
a certain operator in the cotton re
gion who used to take his own good
lime about sending government mes
sages. Finally the Western Union
laid down the law to him and he is
now toeing the mark. "The telegrams
from that town used to get in here
anywhere from 9 to 10 o'clock,” said
Mr. Fisher. “Now they come in every
morning about ten minutes after
eight.”
Mr. Fisher said that prospects for
heavy showers is still good. "Wo
need rain,, he said, "and for several
days now there has been gratifying
indication. But it verily seems the
prospect don’t materialize like it
should.”
LOCAL COTTON CROP
RUSHED TO MARKET
Dr. J. E. Greene Says Two-
Thirds of it Already in
Hands of Ginncrs.
Dr. J. E. Greene, president of the
Savannah Valley Associated Farmers'
clubs, estimates the cotton crop in the
territory embraced by the various or
ganizations of this union to be only 5C
per cent what it was lasi year.
"Two-thirds of the crop," said he,
"is already in the ginncrs hands.
It will be rushed to market. l!y the
last of the month all the crop will
be gone, or a greater part of it. 1
figure that ihis year’s crop will only
be about hair us large as it. was last
year.
“There is no chance now for a ton
crop. The farmers figure that it the
tojis bloom before September l»ih
they’ll get a top crop. Now it is too
late, as only a very few top blooms
have appeared."
Last week a farmer came to Augus
ta with six bales of cotton. Just
one year prior to that date be came
to town with six bales. The differ
ence in total weights was insignifi
cant. And yet his six hales in 1901
brought just ?100 more than Hie sale
of the same number tills year.

GENTRY BROTHERS
QUEER ATTRACTIONS
Educated Animals Will
Give Instructive and In
teresting Performances.
Augusta has seen many nurses, hut.
the first monkey nurse for a dog baby
is coming to this city with the Gentry
Brothers shows. This queer attend
ent picks up tho pet pup when he Is
thrown from the family carriage, mid
puts him back in tho vehicle, which
a run-away horse, or rather dog, has
overturned.
The pup belongs to Ihe Snyder fam
ily. The Snyder family are a con
siderable part of (he performance
given by the Gentry Brothers com
bined shows. The Gentry Brothers
have made a study of animal nature.
What they have accomplished in
training animals is second only to
teals of the educated creatures lhem
selves.
Mr. and Mrs. Snyder have their
own rig. They are dogs of small va
riety, while their steed is a heavy
poodle. The monkey nurse is also
driver. He whips up his steed and
drives 'into the canvas at a double
quick pace. By accident or design
he drives over a log larger than his
buggy and upsets the outfit.
Then he rights the wagon, picks up
Ihe pup, puts him back in the rig,
and drives away triumphantly amid
the cheers of the spectators.
The Gentry Brothers shows are
larger tills year than ever before. Tills
ik the jubilee year of the company,
they having bice organized a score
of year;! ago. The shows will visit
Augusta Thursday. In the morning
j the street parade, which is a maze ux
gilt and glory, will puss through tho
si reels early on the morning of show
day. The Gentry Brothers will give
two performances in this city, one
in the afternoon and the other at
night.

SECOND OUTFIT
RUSHED FOR
UHL
Win. J. Oliver yesterday wired
Mayor Dunbar that he was shipping
another outfit to Augusta to rush con
struction work on tho canal and ha
proposes lo finish the task in the stip
ulated lime. The outfit will probably
remit here In lime for commencing
work Tuesday and Ihis will add ma
lerially to the working forco on tho
canal.
The new outfit coming will con
sist, of about GO mules and 100 men
and will make a total of nearly 200
mules ami about 3,000 men at work
on the canal hunk.
Mayor Dunbar slates that the situ
ation is rapidly becoming brighter
and tho chances are tlint everything
will be in order as first figured out.
When Ihe banks are filled In to a
sufficient depth to turn In water
enough to start ih t > pumps water will
be sent up to the reservoir at tho
rate of easily 10.000,00 gallons per
day.
Tlie reservoir is now virtually emp
ty and for this reason It will take
some time to fill It. up as It holds
about 50,000,000 gallons. However,
It will take but a short time to got
in plenty of water and after tho
first day’s operation of the pump
waior will probably bo turnod on for
only twlco dally, three hours In the
morning and Ihroo In the afternoon,
During this time about 5,000,000 gal
lons will lio lurnod loose each day
under normal pressure. This will
allow 5,000,000 gallons dally to accu
mulate In the reservoir and within
ten days or two weeks It will he fill
ed up entirely.
There are many rumors and false
reports going the rounds that the uew
supply id' water will not ho cleared up
as usual. Mayor Dunbar Htntod that
this Is not trim and that sufficient
water can ho filtered and clarified In
one night to supply tho city's needs
for n day.
Tile coming of Oliver’s new outfllt
will mean tlinf Ihe factories and all
Industries depending on the canal for
power can probably begin operation
two weeks from today as stipulated
In Ihe contract.
AUCUSHS WILL
BE WITNESSES
Messrs. John E. Miirpltcy
and W. A. Smith Appear
Before Interstate Com
merce Commission.
•» a
The Inter-State Gommerco Cnimnln
alon Is meeting In Atlanta today In
decide the- freight rate case in which
a two-cent advance Is proposed In
flour, meats, meal and grains from
common western points lo Augusta
and common Georgia and Carolina
points. Messrs. John K. Murphey th
Go., and W. A. Smith, of Smith Bros.,
wen! lo Atlantal last night, and will
appear before the eouimlsslnn on be
half of the local merchants. Both of
these gentlemen are thoroughly ac
quainted wllli ihe situation and will
lie aide lo present Ihe facts In a com
prehensive and coniine way to the
commission.
Other delegations from various
Georgia cities will appear before the
commission and the Railroad Commis
sion of Georgia will also look after
the Interest of all tho cities involved.
In Ihe Augusta ease the question of
differentials Is the main feature and
through dlserlmtnltlon on the part of
the railroads If Is alleged that Nash
ville Is favored above all other cities,
and merchants In that city can sell
small lots of flour, meat, meal or
grain, which can he shlppud from
Nashville to Edgefield, Batoshurg,
Waynesboro, nr other similar points
cheaper than Augusta merchants can
supply them on account of through
rates on small shipments from Nash
ville,
Augusta merchants at first did not
kick on the proposed two cents In
crease and submitted a statement to
the effect tliiil they were willing for
the Increase to go Into effect provid
ed It was general and no discrimina
tion he made against the city. How
ever, they declare that the lack of
differentials works against the city
and consequently Is a discrimination.
On these grounds tlmy will contest
the advance and there Is a general
Opinion liti'* rd Unit It will not go Into
effect. It has been held up Hlnce the
first of August through ari Injunction
granted by Judge Speer and since Hie
proposed increase was decided upon
the railroads have received more busi
ness and are Iri a prosperous condi
tion, according to uulhentlc state
ments.
The outcome of the hearing will
be watched with keen Interest
throughout the south hh upon it will
probably hinge the decision affecting
all the states Included 111 Hie proposed
Increase of rates.
