Wltlli j Levy Co. Holh of ihoao uro thorough ly modern, up-to-date buildings, aub o * an 1 1»lly lipjjt and inutl handsome In appoaranco. which will gr<atl> ;uld to the a rbltocuuil beauty of this beautiful main business stiyot. Kor that rotiHon every Augustan feel* i proud of thorn, and their growth hat been watched by admiring Byes. Solidly httllt. and handt<om«* build ms- not only make a beautiful city ! and constitute a pride to the eye, but they alto Indicate a progressive and prosperous city. Kor that reason > very citizen baa a aort of proprto lory Interest In every building, and has cause of being pleased over th ■ erection of every one of this kind. Hut in the same d< gree In which a j strong and handsome building pleas- j ea, la an old tumbledown aback an j eyesore. And there are some sueh <ye sores In Augusta- not only In ride alleys lull on Hrnud street. Why should not the owners of these buildings do as did 'he owners of the two buildings Just mentionedT The buildings which were torn down were very much better buildings then those old eye-sore shacks, ami ! the consentient loss Incurred In this removal was much greater. Yet the owners did this, and they were justi lied In this course, for not only did they benefit the city generally by this outlay of their money, but they Item lilted themselves in the Increas ed Income they will derive from the Investment. The same would Im tho ene If the owners of the tumble down shacks wert to erect modern buildings In their place. II this he inti -tmd nobody will dispute It -Is It not strange that tlies,■ old shacks, a disgrace to the city, should remain? Perhaps the owners do not care to take upon themselves the trouble In cident to building? They arcs sails . fled with the Income they derive from the old shaeks, to a degree that • Key will not lake on the trouble of r building, and so .he old sharks are patched from year to vonr In a des. perste effort to make them survive beyond their h ultimate period of use follies.. In this ihoy disregard Ih • rights of the community, and when I they will not do voluntarily what ap pears to be their plain duty, the city j honld compel them by rondomnlnit sueh buildings Just as the oily I makes people elean I heir premises I when they do not voluntarily do what l Is best for them and for the city, so It should adopt the same e .orse In re gard to the miMlghlly shacks width are the decrepit remnants of a foe tier age, It Is « isiculliir fuel that In a city no building Is circled. In Its proper place, that Is not promptly occupied bv a tenant and with a business worthy of the building This will It found to he i rule without exceptions. ■ It has happened that large store buildings, put outside of establish td trading districts, were not prompt-1 h oceupbd, but It has never yet hap pened in Augusta that a business building In the hnaiiittss district prop erly Improved failed to hud the prop. it sort of a tenant This being the ease wind an Immense stride for wind In business Augusta would make If. Instead of those old shacks on Bread street buddings In keeping with the street were erected. Why not do it? , A FISHY SUBJECT. \ long time ago some scientist claimed to have made the discovery that a fish diet developed hraln capac ity. stnl that consequently to become a deep thinker and nn acute reatoner nothing more helpful could be done than to live largely on fish. Because a wise man had made this discovery It was accepted without question, and wo have all heard it said that a fish diet was the best for brain workers Secretary Straus. In a speech de livery recently before the Internation al t'onaress In Waahtugton. revived this old subject and repeated this old aphorism Just why he should have done this la not*clear, unless he was atrahl that It would be forgotten, lie called attention to the (act that our forelathera who drat rauie to this country were strong and brtiUaut men. and that this was owluc to thetr diet which consisted largely of fish. He alao etplalued why a Halt diet helped ntcn’a intnda to grow atronger, which »i» because flwh dealt waa rich In phosphorus. which helpa to build up the brain tlwauea and to strougthon thi* hone* Ho when weteuce and ob* aenat lou agreed, or t heory aud prao • e coincided the conclusion to which they (minted muwt lie correct Yet in aplte of all thi* there are •hr pi lea They jniint out that Inproay la only found where the p<<ople llta largely on flah. and that thla diweaae la entirely unknown In high and arid region* which are n*hle*». and that therefore a fl*h diet cannot be to ett tra need f«i the bone* And then they remind u* that fishermen have never liveu distinguished fur aiettial t excellence, except those fishwives who gained fame for their superiority In slinging billingsgate Also that, If a fish diet produced mental greatness, Eskimos and our own sea island ne groes should all le- Intellectual giant*, whereas they rank among the lowest Intellectually of the people of the earth. Ho the labored effort of our learned secretary of comnieroe and labor will not be a great boost for the fish trade However, Incidentally he explained the relationship between fish eating and dram drinking, which Is ingenious and Interesting. According to Mr. B'raiis.the eating of smoked and salted fish by the early New Englanders created such a thirst that, to satisfy It, trade relations were promptly Iv augurated with the West Indies for rum. Out of this grew the custom of drinking liquor, which spread until it has become sueh a great evil that now It is necessary to try to break it up jby prohibition legislation. I Without hesitation it will be-readily | agreed that according to his own line of urgment Secretary Straus must himself be u great eater of fish. Such a learned discourse could only be evolved after deep thought by a brain most highly developed. And also it shows how he jg devoting himself to the duties and responsibilities of his office, and how wisely our statesmen acted when they created this cabinet office and tided this high salaried of ficial to the national payroll. THE CASE OF COL. STEWART. For quite a while the case of Col. Htewart, l\ S. A., has been promi nently before the public. He was sent to Fort (Irani, a remote and almost deserted army iiost In the Arizona desert, by order of I’resi dent lloosevelt because, It Is alleged, he refused to retire by request. A great, howl was raised about this procedure by the colonel'* champions, who styled him Ihe American Drey fus. The case is now given fresh notoriety by the faet lhal Cot. Htewart has been ordered to Washington, be fore an examining hoard, which Is to Investigate his physical ability or qualifications for the service. It Is hinted that this Is a cooked-up scheme to formally dismiss him from the army. Altogether this case of Col. Stewart affords a striking commentary on our army. Col. Htewart lias served in I the army a long time, lacking only about five years of the time when, | under the army rules, ho would be retired. It is held that he Is "tem peramentally unfit to command." be ing possessed of such an unfortunate teni|»er that he can live In peace with nobody, and Is constantly falling-out over trltlea with his brother officers and civilians with whom lie comes In contact. That such a man, who can not command his own temper. Is un fit to command other men can b.' readily understood, and that the serv ice would be beneflttcd by his retire ment seems also plain. Ho unbear able did his eonduct become at last that he was asked to retire. This be refused to do. A i lilotiel' 1 salary I* fiction a year and after ten M'ara' service Col. Stewart ranks twenty fifth !n line of promotion, and If the regular order be followed he would probably become brigadier general before he reached the age of retirement, when hla salary would he $5,500 On being ! retired a colonel of ten yenrs' sorv Ice which would he Col. Stewart's, would receive an annual pensiou for life of $1,150. or If he should become a brigadier general In the meantime hla antmal pension would be $1,125 Ho It is very plain why the cantank erous old fellow refuse* to lay off hi* uniform And although he Is unlit for the service It seems the government ea t not get rtd of him, but must keep him. not only to pay hint a high "alary for service* he does not render while he Is In the service, hut to give him a large pension when he is no ! longer expected to render any serv ice So he wa* sent to Port Grant, not taw a Dreyfus hut a* a costly para jslte who had somehow fastened him self on the government and of whom It could not rid Itself But thi* isn't all Col Stewart, like all oilier officer* In active serv ice, was ordered to take a ninety tulle horseback ride H|. physician said he could not do thl* without en dangering hi* life, for not obi* Is h* (at but he ha* a weak heart \nd jin addition to all this It I* staled that lie |a blind In one eve anil can see hut little out of the other.

It was entirely proper for Mr. Roosevelt to solicit this money, be muse he Intended to bunco Harriman and did bunco him, 2. Secrecy waa necessary because Mr Roosevelt's motives might have been misconstrued by low-minded Iver sons who would see In thiy transac tion a sordid attempt on the part of Harrlman to control the presidency through the use of tulnted money. 3. Publicity of such a contribution before deetion might have thwarted the high moral purpose of Mr. Roose velt In separating Harrlman from hts money without giving hltn anything In retrn t Other presidential candidates should never be permitted to engage In similar negotiations, because even were they sufficiently patriotic to i repudiate the moral obligation they would not be sufficiently praellca. to deceive a man like Harrlman. 5. The fact that it waa Theodore Rot velt who did this Is a complete answer to all host lie criticism.

C Director George Otis Smith, of the United States Geological Survey, has invited officers of the leading railroads of the country to a conference on a co operative plan by which it is expeet j fed the railroads will be able to save i thousands of dollars a year. The plan also contemplates most effective j assistance to the government on the part of railroads. The time and place of the proposed conference is to be agreed on later. The scheme, which has already been approved by a number of the en gineers of the big lines, is one for the gathering of facts as to the amount of water flowing in the rivers of the country tinder certain condl i tions and in different periods of the year. Naturally, the railroads have i been chief sufferers from floods in the j i basins where their tracks lie. They I have suffered not only from damage! to their own property, but they have j been sued by other corporations and j private citizens on the ground that 1 their bridges and culverts were the i causes of flood damage. The railroad authorities have felt that many judg ments against tho roads might not have been rendered if they had been able to produce authentic figures on floods. But they have not been able to do this. The national conservation commission has been advised of the proposed plan and whatever results come from It will undoubtedly be con sidered by the commission at its joint meeting with the governors of the ; states, or their representatives, here J next December. The survey suggests that the rail , road compands establish gauges on (i heir bridges and culverts and appoint some of their employes to take daily readings. The survey agrees to have its experts make frequent visits to these stations and take actual cur rent meter measurements so that a rating table of each channel will be ! available. For many years the survey has l>een studying the difference in the 1 flow of rivers in various basins in the country. At present, it is engaged in pulling the information gained by its study Into shape for the use of the j national conservation commission, to gether with other information which; lit is gathering especially for the in ' of the country’s natural re-1 [sources that the commission is pre-! | paring. The survey has born unable to ex-1 tend its observations to many regions' where tho information would be of | vital Importance because it lacks ; funds. The corporation of the rail-1 roads would permit the survey to; cover many other regions. The expense to the railroads tin- i dor this arrangement would be trill ing, Ihe survey authorities say, be- j cause the roads could designate men i already on their pay rolls, such as i draw tenders, lank men, or water sta tion engineers to take the daily read ings. On the other hand, if the snr- > vey could be relieved of Ihe cost of daily supervision of the gauges, it would be able to carry on the more technical parts of the undertaking. The Information which the railroads ; will obtain if this plan is put into operation is of immense value to them. The survey’s figures on floods have always been accepted by the courts as prima facie evidence. If the be- ; lief of the railroad authorities is well founded, their co-operation with the survey enabling it to extend Its oper ations to their fields will result in big savings to them. The idea of co-operation as to Hoads originated with the engineering de partments of the railroads them selves. Representatives of these de partments of a number of roads held a conference with representatives of the survey, in Chicago last June, amt at that time the survey agreed to in terview the proper railroad authori ties concerning a basis of co-opera tion The survey has further suggested to the railroads that they supply it with all information they may have on hand concerning the character of the various drainage areas above j their bridges. Some of the roads have collected, at great expense, a large amount of valuable information, which could be made of high value to all the railroads if it were gather ed together and compiled. This nta terlal would also contribute largely to the general study of the water re sources of the country which the sur vey has been carry ing out for a num ber of years and upon which It is par tlcularly busy just now in the com pilation of all available information' along these lines for the use of tn< national conservative commission.

A people who sell more than they can buy cannot be in a Very hard situation, whatever may be the periods of depression and strin gency so we can take heart of grace from th e official figures just given out which show that during the first seven months of the pres ent year we have bought thirty per cent less than during th e cor responding months last year, while at the same time our exports show an increase of one hundred and seventy-nine millions as com pared with the same months last year. This gives us ever y assurance of a very satisfactory trade bal ance, when the business accounts for the year are made up, says the Atlanta Journal On the whole we are told that the substance of the trade reports for the week, submitted by the mercantile agencies, is that trade and Industrial activity continues to increase very noticably with every indication of permanent im provement. * Here at hom e th e same optimis tic sentiment prevails. A few days ago a prominent business man from south Georgia was quoted as saying that from present indica tions thcr e would b e the greatest car famine within a short time that the state has ever seen. This prediction was based directly upon t»6 lumber industry, but it is gen eftlly accepted as being equally true of all other lines of business. The uncertainty which prevails as to th e future of freight rates Is about the only disturbing fac tor these is today in the business and industrial life of our people. If we could be sure that the existing status would not b e disturbed by an Increase in rates during the period when business is doing its best to recover, we would soon forget that there had been any such thing as a panic. Merchants and manufacturers are meeting the situation with confidence, however, and good fall trade is firmly anticipated. ANNOUNCEMENT!
