EXCURSIONS INTO AUGUSTA.
There was run Into Augusta yes
terday an excursion over the South
ern railway from Columbia. It wa*
well patronized. Ho eagerly did the
people of Columbia and at jKiint*
along the line where passenger* were
received avail themselves of tht» op
portunity, that Ole train wa* crowded.
Altogether It brought nearly a thou
i rand visitor* to the elty.
Thl* bears out exactly what The
Herald said a few day* ago. The peo
ple living within reach of Augusta are
specially desirous of coming here now,
They are all Interested In our city a*
a neighbor and friend. They have
heard and read about the flood and
what It did to u*. and they like to
**ee To thl* Is added the other rea
son that they know that there are
now many cla**e» of good* for sa,o
here eheap, by reason of the fact that
they were soiled by the flood, and It
Ik human nature to desire a share in
the bargain getting. At full rale,
nnd to come alone they would pel-1
haps not ihlnk of coming, hut. let a
railroad run an excursion, which 1
means cheap rates and pleasant com!
• l'«ny, nnd hundreds will eagerly um i
brace the opportunity.
The big excursion which came In 1
over the Southern yesterday proves
the correctness of these conclusion*
Why shouldn't the other railroads
do thn same? The Central, the Au- .
guslu Southern, tho Georgia, tha C.
to W. on both It* branoheH, and Ihe
other railroad* entering the city, I
would find the people along their
Loads Just as eager to come to Au
gusta iik did the Southern. Will they
he less liberal to their patrons than
the Southern I* to It* patron*? Why
should not each railroad run at least
one excursion Info Augusta as stain
ns the necessary arrangements can
he made?
A* a matter of courtesy and Ju*tlce
*° Auguata the railroads should also
he Inclined to do tills. They run
many excursions out of the city.
tStinie ttf them operate regular excur
sion tralnH out during tho entire sum
mer; and there being a special reason
lor this II Is sll right. Hut In com
mon Justice to Augusta there being 1
now a special reason for riming at
■east one excursion train Into tho city, I
should not each of the various rail
roads do this?
Will not each of the railroadß be
as considerate of the desire* of the
people along It* line as was the Co
himbla branch of tho Southern In thl*
Instance?

lor this leniency has now passed, still
the authorities are loath to resort to
harsh orders, in view of the yet, great
difficulties of the situation. But
they request that everything possible

THE BILLBOARD NUISANCE.
A great and stilly growing nuisance
In all cities Is the billboard adver
tising. It Is being carried to an ex
ce«s that makes It painfully obtrusive.
Take a ride on a train, and .lew the
approach of a large city through the
car window. Can It he done with
out being disgusted with the innumer
able billboards that flash upon the
view? And in the cities It is still
worse. Kvery available foot of fence
and wall space Ik rented and plastered
over with advertisements; and not
content wtlh this, huge billboards are
erected In every prominent open spot
for the same purpose. Why Is thl*
unnecessary and useless desecration
of nature aud Irritation of human
nerves allowed?
For advertising purposes, It will he
answered. It Is legitimate to adver
tise, snd fhls offers a good way.
Huch answer might be accepted If
there were no other methods of ad
vertlalng; but If there are other meth
ods, and especially other methods not
open to objections Justly raised
against billboards, why should these
j latter be permitted?
Billboard advertising Js compare
1 lively a new thing. It was not
, thought of a generation or at most
two generations bgek. Since that
time other means of Advertising have
been greatly Improved, and If bill
hoards were not needed then they are
still lea* needed now.
Everybody nowaday* read* the
newspaper. An ad. placed In a news
paper Is read by the one for whom
it is intended. If this Is true then
It follows that billboard advertising
is a waste, so far a* concerns the
, advertiser, and it is an inexcusable
itulHttnce so far as concerns the city,
j And 11 is true.
Take, for instance, theatrical ad*.
These are placed on bill boards and
in Ihe papers. Usually the billboard
ad*, are large and showy, which
means, ttf course, costly; aud the
j newspaper ads are small, which
| means, of course, that as little money
as possible Is spent on them. Which
ttf these form* of advertising Is It
that accomplishes the desired result?
The billboard ad. Is seen by the
deacon on his way to church, and by
the workman on his way to work;
but neither of them are theatregoers.
It is seen by the small boy, and by
him admired; but he also doesn't at
tend theatres. It Is seen by people
who are not Interested, ami cannot
be Interested. In the, thing advertised
It Is also seen by the theatregoer,
but for him It Isn't necessary. For
the patron of the theatre looks for
the ads. In (he paper. He knows
that not all shows use the billboards
but that all of them use the news
papers. So. to bo certain that he wilt
learn of all and he able lo select
w hat may please him best, he looks
for the ad in the paper. Then, for
him. the cost of the billboard ad ,s
wasted, and certainly It ts wasted on
the non theatregoer. Yet unwisely
sotu,, theatrical managers will w.t*p
money on billboard advertising and
then complain of small houses, when
an eipial amount of ntonev spent In
judicious newspaper advertising might
have brought a different result.
This applies to all branches of ad
vertising. and for this reason the
money *|>cih on billboard* Is largely
If not wholly wasted. And If they
be valueless for advertising. the onlv
excuse which might be offered for re
taining such a great municipal nuU
anee fall*.
The time will come when It will
be suppressed fn all our cltlea, as Is
now being diUie In the principal dues
of Europe. And thTn the people wi’l
wonder why this nuisance was ever
tolerated. *

THIRTEEN KILLED
IN FRENCH IP
MON
Government Ordered In
vestigation Into the
Cause of the Ex
plosion.
TOI'LON, France—An exhaustive
examination was ordered by the
French government Wednesday into
the explosion of the 7.6 turret gun on
the armored cruiser LaTouche Tro
ville, when 13 men were killed and
nearly a score of others injured.
The after turret was completely
wrecked and portions of the bodies of
the dead and ydittg were scattered
over the deck. An Inspection of tho
cruiser was made Wednesday by re
presentatives of the navy bureau.
The accident was so similar to that
wihieh occured on the school ship,
Couronne, off LesSalins des Hires on
/xugusta 12, as to be almost indeti
cal. This strange coincidence has
hastened the work ot investigation as
to the cause. Drill and practice fir
ing was being held yesterday when
tne catastrophe occured. Firing had
been in progress for some time when
with a terrific roar the turret blew
out scattering the dead and dying fn
frightful profusion.
The LaTouche Treville was built at
Havre in 1892-93 at a cost of $1,700,-
000. It will require at least two
months work before she will again bo
fit for use.
STATE TAUT SHEET
Mir BE ALTERED
\
ATLANTA, Ga.—The stale tally
sheet may have to be altered. A
technical point has been made with
reference to the disfranchisement
amendment. Several conferences
havd been held over the matter be
tween the governor and state house
officials. As a result of the confer
ence it is probable that the state de
partment will scud to the respective
county ordinaries corrections to bo
noted on the tally sheets, which have
already been sent out.
The disfranchisement act provides
that “all persons voting at said elec
tion in favor of adopting the proposed
amendment to the constitution shall
have written or printed on their bal
lots the words "For amendment of
constitution providing qualification of
voters.”
State Chairman Hail has used this
language on the official ballots of the
demoeratie party.
Tho tally sheets, however, contain
different language, to-wit: "For rati
fication of amendment to Sec. 2, Art.
1, of the constitution of this state
(for qualification of electors and reg
istration of voters.)
The meaning of the language on
the bnllot, is identical with the mean
ing of the language on the tally sheet,
but the one complies with the letter
of the law and the other does not. \
fear has been expressed in certain
quarters that the failure of the tally
sheet to correspond with the official
ballot might vitiate the amendment
in the event it carries.
