In th<- day* immediately gucc<-, din* the flood conditions were such an to forcibly impress the need In Augusta of some n genry or institution which would bring together those who sought work and those who sought Homebody to do work. In the im mense amount of work /suddenly thrown upon the city In cleaning up and repair operations there was the greatest difficult y experienced in He curing tin- ne< ded help; and In the nudden dosing down of the mills and other plants hundreds of men weAe thrown out of employment who needed and earnestly sought work. This condition should have been self regulating, but. It was not ; and It Is a tact that many failed to secure the help *o greatly needed, while many who so anxiously sought omployibsQt f»iiled to find It, This pointedly Illustrates the need In Augusta of some method of bring-; lug together those who seek employ-1 ment and those who seek help. It ap- j piles only to men and to one sudden ! emergency, but Hilh same condition pro vails more or less all the time among men and women seeking em ployment, and among parties In need of male or female help The follow lug teller further Illustrates this need; Augusta, Oa., Oct. 5, 1008. I'M 1 1 or Herald, Augusta, Oa Dear Mr, Advertising Is a great thing, no doubt, al leant, for some peo ple, but 1 want to ask why It Is that there Is very seldom an ad In an Au guste paper for female help, such as office help, clerk, stenographer, pri vate teacher and such like help Only ticcasionally Is thorn one for mine li.-lp Don't Augusta people like to advertise for such help, or are there more people wanting work Ilian de m and for the people? Now, I have been out of a position fthrough no Isitlt of my own | lor nearly a month, and have dune everything I know, ami there seems to ho absolutely nothing for me. | do not want to he a knocker ttr a kicker, hut 1 do want work and I ought to have no trouble In a city the sire of Augusta. Where Is the screw loose? Now will you pul a word In your paper about what l have written, and may lie somebody w ill get interested? I Itsvt* saved this for the last and If I do not gel something after this, will Jnst leave for a city with more life and business about It. After that plere tin yesterday about th.- V. \V < A., the papers ought to he In red Ink for verv shame and Augusta put on deep black. Very sincerely, "A WORKING OIRL.” Here Is a young woman, competent, out of work, and vainly seeking etn ploymeut for nearly a month, and all IHils *lm.- It Is no rally certain that somebody In Augusta stood In need jof Just such service as this accom plished .luting woman was tpialllled to | render And all this time the seeker Of Win k hat NWtHI um-tnpli.'l d and • tin' parly needing the work tltwn* has cursed his bsd lurk In beingJnnshio to find some one to do hla work. Here Is shown ihe need In Augusta ..f some plan to bring together these I two classes which alwnys exist In ev ; ery city. A« to wtial our correspondent anva uhoui going lo iiiiolher city we can Inn advise Don't Presumably Au muon la her home, or hi least ahe la belter acquainted here than else where. If one cannot find work al home, among friends and where one la acquainted, how much more dim cull It will he among strangers in a at range place; and especially does this apply to young women, hi spile of what our eorreapondent says about not wanting to Join the ranks of the kniM kers what she says uhout some other cltv "with more Ilfs' and hual ness about It” shows that her failure to Hud work has not only made her despondent and Inclined to knocking, btu it has upset her Judgment. There la no such place as ahe mcntlona. There are larger cities, as there are smaller cities, than Augusta, and In large cities there Is more work and business than In amaller cities, but a Ist' then are more to do It Karh place has Its own peculiar advantages and disadvantages, but all things con sidered them Is no place that Is heller than Augusta, and certainly not for a young woman whose home Augusta , It- and who la a working girt seeking employment, hut her present condition of en forced Illness points out one of Au gusta's need*. In the meantime, may not her appeal to The Herald prove the iixupis of finding her employment? COLLECTING CAMPAIGN FUNDS. A political campaign cannot he run without money. If tt be but a con stable's election. If there be opposi tion It requires money to make the conics; for It There are cerialn e\ peases which arc Inevitable, and there are others not absolutely ncces. ►ary but helpful in gaining votes, or believed lo be so. which are classed a» legitimate Of course money |$ also sometimes spent for campaign purposes that are Illegitimate, and sometimes vast sums are so expended (111 ihle *»' millions of dollars weu' seent lo secure McKinley's election i Itul leaving the Illegitimate use of money out of this consideration tt re mains thai It takes money to run a , campaign. and c»i>eclallj a pr< - den tial campaign which covers the whole ; ! country. The various parties have various i ways and adopt various methods for . raising campaign funds. The plan of ;the republican party, slnre II quit as- j 1 1, easing the federal officeholders, has j ; been to levy contributions from the , big corporations, in return for which . these corporations were to be favor ! ed with laws which would enable | jthem to feather their nests. This; i plan has now been outlawed, but It j Is generally believed that It is still j being pursued under cover, for the j republican campaign managers have j violently resisted the popular clamor Ito have the list of their campaign 'contributions published before the j ! election, and they have tnvtted large: contributions such as only big cor- | porations could be expected to make. I The democratic party collects its campaign fund by means of small vol untary contributions by Individual jmembers of the party, through the newspapers. No large contribution j from any single source Is accepted, and a complete list ’of all contribu tors and tne amount of their contri bution is to be published before the day of the election. The independence league party, be ing the personal property of Mr. Hearßt, is financed by himself. He pays all Its campaign expenses and bo far as known Is neither asking lor nor reeelvlng contributions from any ! other source, I’he populist campaign expenses are very light, since Mr Watson, Us pres Idential candidate is Ihe only cam palgner It has, and Ills work is con fined to one stale. He bears his own campaign expenses, with perhaps some small help by means of voluti -1 tary contributions from his friends, i How the fund for the campaign ex ponses of the prohibition party Is rals i d is not known. It has been stated i hat Mr. Rockefeller was financing it. j but this seems unlikely. The probe- j Jblllty Is that some rich phllanthro plats and cranks arc putting up the I money. The socialist party has adopted an entirely different plan. Its members pay regular monthly dues, and a part of this Is set aside for campaigning purposes. This gives the party a res ular Income of considerable «algc. suf- j flrlent to allow It such a big under j ■ sklng as a touring or the whole conn ; ! iry by Mr. Debs, Its presidential can didate, In a famous "red special" train. In addition to this, a small ad mission fee Is charged to the Debs meetings, and the receipts from this source have been large enough to al most cover the expenses of the spe cial train. } Of these various plans It is easily \ apparent that the systems adopted by the democrats and Ihe socialists ure the best. Both systems make a strong, militant party. The demo cratic system would seem to be the better of the two in that contribu tlons are not compulsory, thus put ting the poor man under no dlsadvan Itage in apparent party loyalty and I gcal compared with the wealthier member. And the republican system Is Ihe worst, because It is dishonest In prin ciple and Injurious to public interests i In practice. THE HERALD WON THE TROPHY The great steer-plowing contest In Rome did not materialise. This Is a matter greatly to he regretted, since It is plain that It would he a powerful agency In the uplifting of the slate —for reasons that have been many times explained. Thai comes of moving this contest to Rome The first of the series, pulled off In Au gusta. wns a great success, for a new thing The second should have been still better, and would have been If Augusta had stood on her rights and refused to allow It to be moved to another city. Hut with the geneoalty that always dlstin gulshes our city we yielded our claim to another city, and the result has been failure. There Is hut one thing to be done under the circum stances bring bark this contest to Augusta, as the Olympic games were always held at Athens, and let it develop, as was designed, to take the place of the present political primary us the method for choosing the state's governor. The following announcement, tells the story of the failure: The magnificent silver loving cup, which was to have been awarded to the successful con testant at the steer plowing match still rests unclaimed In the office of the Rome Tribune- Herald." Then follows a recital of th* do. I tails, from which It a pears that alt (he contestants who had put In ar. appearance lost heart and courage at ) the last moment, and ran away or ibid. Judge Wright fled ‘'over the ; mountain where the Glover orchard lit located Editor Reese of the At - intta Georgian disappeared and was i seen no more;" Editor I’olemsn of J ihe t'edartown Standard ' was se» n sneaking towards the front gate at this time. Editor Shop* of tne Pal j ton t'lttien, he who plowed so nobly J iu the first contest In Augusta, "In glortonalv fled and was seen no I more;" one and all of the contest ; ants on the ground failed to show up when "time" was called AH but on* 1 Mr* Ell Waldrap who had cballeugiHl Judge Muse* THE AUGUSTA HERALD Wright especially to contest with her, was present and remained to the end.” This being the case, then un der the rules which govern all such contests It seems that the silver lov ing tinenp should have ben awarded to her In al! contests, after contest ants have been entered and from any cause fall before It is finally decid ed, they must be counted out, and the contestant who Is ready, at the right time, to continue, must be declared the winner even though the contest be not carried to the finishing point. Under this general rule applicable to all contests it seems that the ladv should have been awarded the trophy. But she was clearly Ineligible. Since this steer-plowing content was designed to pick out a chief execu tive for the state and women are ineligible for the governorship, It follows that a lady could not enter this contest, and the management erred In allowing her to enter. In cidentally, this error probably caused the failure. Timid old bache lors like Hhope dared not face a lady contestant, and henpecked bene dicts like John Reese have too much gallantry or prudence to undertake it.—when their wlv<- nr- r*’-: t The one who under the rules should have been d-uian u .um.vi' being Ineligible, who was next? Here The Herald presents Its claim. Its editor was prevented from being: being there at the crucial moment by an accident, as the following tele gram, read by the judge, shows; Washington, D.

Judging from the painful delibera ; tlon .he Georgians are manifesting In the contributions of dollars to the 1 <ani|*at(n fund, we infer that the lm [preaslon exists over there that the I I NEW ENGLAND ABOUSED. A few days ago the Augusta Herald had an editorial on the Drinking Gourd. A Brunswick paper took oc casion, anent The Herald's article, to lament the paucity of editorial sub Jects, the decadence of that par- of newspapers devoted to opinionated | stuff. Of course the bright paragrapher ; on the Brunswick paper, a woman, never came on a sultry day to the ; spring neath the hill, with abundant I shade and sparkling water and hard Iby the gourd. Water is plentiful at Brunswick, such as it is. In Augusta when the gourd was apostrophed. there was neither the spring nor the gourd. The Herald was reminiscent, but thirsty. Now, talk about editors running out of soap, It appears to us that when so great a paper as the New York World dispatches reporters all over the country to investigate and tell whether pumpkin pies "like riother used to make” can really be had In New York or Boston, the pie center of a former age, It Is nearing the limit. Pumpkin pies are several degrees beyond the limit. New England has shown perversity of taste in nothing so clearly as in clinging to this atro -1 cious product. Suppose squash, sweet ; potatoes and the like have been sub stituted, as hinted in the three-col : umn article in The World. It is be cause appetite is growing better, more refined; light is dawning even in New England and men and wom en are not, content to fill themselves ;wlth pumpkins when they can get po ;tatoes. , Veneration for ancestors is well in a way hut If we go far enough ba*-k [ we may find them dwelling in caves jor else hopping about from limb to ! limb. The pies mother used to make aro j not best, neither is there anything 'more than a fancied, sentimental de mand for them. Let us not worship the appetites of our ancestors. They had no such tasks before them as are set before us. If we believe what is said about it. they were seldom tempt ed; times were easy and the prob lems of today which bring gray hairs at thirty were not evolved. Life in those days was a grand, sweet dream. Wants being few, pumpkin pie was accepted—they didn't know any bet- I ter. j We are glad to see sweet potatoes forcing themselves into New England pics.
