AN ENCOURAGING SIGN OF THE TIMES.
One of the bent sign* of the times According to many shrewd observ
ers In the theatrical business. A few yearn ago, company after company,
on the Southern circuit, failed and had to foot it, bo to speak, back to
New York. Thin year, If Augusta li any criterion, business waa never
better and large and crowded bouses have greeted nearly every per
formance here In Augusta. If this record ki< ps up Augusta wili noon
get the reputation of one of the best show towns in the South.
Good shows are making good money all over the South this season,
and there Is every Indication that thin record will be kept up. And such
a condition means that the South has money to spend and is spending It.
When people have money to spend on amusements that please them,
It naturally follow* that these same people have money to spend for
other things as well.
This mdans that Fall business Is going to make a record here in
Augusts for the people who go after It. And the columns of The Herald
each day and on Sunday give ample Indication that the Augusta mer
chants are doing business.
The advertising columns of the newspaper are almost as good a
trade barometer as the theatres In regard to the movements In trade
arid the spending capacity of the people. Merchants who want your
trade and who have the goods to Justify It, are putting their announce
ments In The Herald In no uncertain manner. They realize that the
people nave the money to buy what they want, that the time for trad
Ing has come, and that the host bargains, the best offerings, the best
store service and the proper publicity means beat results.
You will find a wealth of good reading In today’s Herald and none
of It belter or more convincing or more satisfying than the announce
ments of the up to date merchants of the city,
AN ACTIVE, FREIGHT BUREAU FOR AUGUSTA.
The merchants of Augusta have taken up the finest ion of a Freight
Bureau for the city and 'I he Herald feels sure that with a competent,
active, aggressive man at the head of such a bureau that not only will
the savings In aetual dollars In freight rates, overehargi s. collections
of claims and reclassifications amount to many thousands of dollars
annually hut that at the same time more and more territory will be
opened up for commercial Augusta.
As the Herald has pointed out individually It Is almost Impossible
for the average business man or business concern to keep at fingers
end all the various rates, classifications, or to properly attend to the
hacking of freight hills, collect lons of claims etc Aa a result dol
lars lire continuously being paid out to the railroads that never should
be paid and few very few of these dollars ever get hack again to their
rightful owners,
It Is such service as this that a Freight Bureau properly equipped
renders the merchants of a city, and that It abundantly pays Is shown
by the faet that nearly all of Augusta's sister cities maintain and operate
such a Bureau. That 1' will pay the merchants of Augusta both In dol
lars and cents as well as open up new territory for trade for the
commercial and manufacturing Interests of the city, the Herald is very
confident.
Augusta as a city can well afford to subscribe liberally for such a
bureau, Just hh many other cities do, and the good effeots vs Its work
will soon be felt by every concern doing business here in Augusta and
throughout the city as a whole as well.
Augusta la going to do more .business In the future than she ever
did before and one of the first steps In the right direction will be the
organization of a proper Freight Bureau.
AUGUSTA IS BACK ON THE JOB ONCE MORE.
The Herald has suggested that It would be a proper thing for Au
gusta to celebrate once more In fitting and fonotal way the fact that the
old town Is once more hack on the Job that we have completely wiped
out all flood damages, that all our manufacturing plants are running
once more on full time and over catching up with orders, that Augusta
stores and merchants were never better prepared to handle the biggest
and best trade In the history of the city.
Augusta Is all right, and we are confident that all her business inter
ests have claimed to make this the best year in their history. And
wiial our enterprising merchants are, each and every one, preparing
to do Individually, Augusla as tt city must get ready to do as a com
munity and ss a whole. Its the civic spirit, the community spirit, thul
wins In the race of cities, anil tills is the thing that Augusta Is show
ing more and more each day.
I.et IIS select some day next week to officially and formally an
nounce in all the world and to all Augusta h trade territory thal Angie
t« Is 111 once more, iliat she Isf ready and better prepared than ever to
humlle every piece of business offering Such an announcement cun well
come In an olflclal proclamation from the Mayor, representing municl
pal Augusla. from the various trade and business bodies that represent
the commercial and manufacturing Interests nr the ettv, nnd the cumu
lative effect or all these announcements will he one of the best gen
eral advertisements that Augusta has ever had.
Perhaps Augusta needs all the advertising tills year that she ran
get It certainly won't be a bad Idea lor us to give the city and alt
her business Interests all the legitimate advertising that we urn
MR. LONGWORTH'S WANT OF DISCRETION.
Hon. Nicholas lamgworth 1* ibe son-in-law of President Roosevelt.
He married the president's eldest daughter. Mr. Long worth was at the
time of his marriage, and is now, a member of congress from Ohio.
He la alao a rleh man, having Inherited eouilderable wealth, well in
vested, from his father Aside from this lie seems to be a very re
spectable sort of a man, of whom no 111 can be said, but one who. had
he to depend on his own efforts and ability alone, would always remain
a very mediocre person in the rear ranks.
as a member of the president's family he Joins In Its councils and
becomes a sharer In Its aspirations All families worth the name have
aspirations which take more or less definite shape, to accomplish which
the various members strive according to their ability, and which be
comes a part of their Individual plans. These are family secrets In
which the public Is ordinarily not Interested, and which rarely become
known. Sometimes these family plans do concern the public because
they relate to public affairs, and sometimes also these family secrets
are revealed before the plans have been materialised.
Mr. lamgworth knew the Roosevelt family plana. Of this family
the president la the active head Ills will Is Its law His. plans are
Ita plans. In which all the rest are Joined. These plans Lamgworth
knew, and didn't have sense enough to hold secret. To him was as
signed the honor of accompanying the party leader, not because his
ability pointed to him as the best man for this duty but because he wis
the president's son In-law And In this position he betrayed the family
secret
It was that Mr Roosevelt should again be president, not for one
term, but for two, after putting a dummy in toe executive chair for a
season, through whom he could retain bis grip on power. Mr. lams
worth told this, not In so many words, but tn substance It meant that
Mr Roosevelt was scheming Jo make himself the virtual ruler of the
country. Its more than uncrowned king
The revelation created a sensation Atnared at ;he fellow's stupid

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
THE GEORGIA-CAROLINA FAIR.
Three weeks from tomorrow the
gate* will be thrown open for the
third Georgla-Carollna fair. This
event Is awaited with pleasant antici
pations by the people of the two
slates, and the Indications are that in
every respect It will far surpass in ex
cellence the previous fairs that have
been held.
First, the management has not only
the benefit of the experience gained
in their previous efforts, but they hav e
the grounds and buildings in order.
Each of the building* was specially
designed for the servlet- to vYhich it
wa* to he put, and such Improvement*
as actual use suggested have been
made. The grounds, the race track
nd the gridiron are all In flue condi
tion, better than when llrst com
pleted.
Then the exhibits will exceed all
other previous exhibits. The agricul
tural dlapluy will more interesting
not only because there will be a
larger number of clubs exhibiting,
hut also because the Individual club
exhibits will he / superior to last
year’s. Also the poultry exhibit will
he far ahead of last year's, so tar
that It will be the greatest poultry'
exhibition ever put on In this sec
tion. It alone, did it comprise the
only attraction, would constitute a
groat exhibition. And the other ex
hibits will he In keeping In increased
attractions with the farm and poul
try exhibits.
In addition to thiß the amusement
features will he more varied and of
a suparlor class. Amusements form
an essential part of every exposition
and fair. The people go to see and
to find amusement. Many excellent
expositions have fallen flat because
the amusement feature was left out
or not up to the standard. The Geor
gla-Carollna fair was weak in this re
spect last year. It will not be so
this year, and the greatest care has
been taken to provid.; ample amuse
ment features, and of the highest or
der.
So with pleasant anticipations the
people may await this auspicious
event. It will come at a time when
the farmers will have leisure, and the
warm weather shall have passed and
before the cold weather begins, the
after part of the glorious Indian sum
mer. I.et it he made a time of pleas
ant enjoyment, a happy reunion of
friends and a gathering of all the
good people of the Savannah valley.
THE SOUTHERN MUSCADINE.
The muscadine season Is nearly
over. Since the middle of August
they have been ripening, the luxuri
ous vines richly colored with pur
ple, russet-brown and blue-black of
the ripening elusters, and the dewy
ulr of evening laden with their pun
gent aromatic odor. In limited quan
tities they have been picked, to he
converted Into wine, preserves and
Jellies, hut for the greater part they
have been allowed to fall upon the
ground, to serve as food for fattening
j 'possums and the other Binall game of
I the woods. Only the later remnants
now remain upon the almost bare
i vines, and soon there will be no
more of them for this senson, just
j ns to all good things there must be
an end.
For surely the Southern muscadine
iis a gooil thing. flttllaces they are
j railed In the vernacular of many lo
cal!; les. hut this is a misnomer. The
bullaoe is n small plum, whereas our
muscadine Is a grape, and the nutural
queen of the tribe. This she is In
her native state, and what she will
be when, some day, the museailiue
shall he Improved by skillful cultiva
tion and scientific treatment only the
future can reveal.
The vine itself would be a trelllsed
glory. Of such luxuriant growth that
in the woods a single vine will some
times cover many trees, what would
i It do If properly cultivated and train
ed to spread Judiciously! The acup
pernotig, a dose cousin of the musca
dine. and one more favored though
) not as much deserving, will somo
i times cover a quarter-acre trellis
from a single vine, amt the muses
-1 dine would surely surpass that. This
will he demonstrated when at last
Its true value shall be appreciated,
anil loving rare be given It Instead
of the present neglect nnd inappre
clation.
And then the fruit! Is there a win*
that can compare in flavor or In color
ito that made of the muscadine? The
famous vintages of other countries
are held in high esteem, because the
connoisseur* who have given them
thetr fnme have never tasted of thla
wine and know nothing about It. But
the ime will oome when thla grape,
now modestly and unappreciatedly
growing In the woods to serve as
fatteuli.-’ food for wild bewsts, shall
be treated according to its worth,
that muscadine wine will l>e esteemed

AUGUSTA AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE COUNTRY CRAZY ABOUT
BASEBALL.
It has been a great season for baseball, the greatest in the his
tory of the game. It ha* taken the last game of a hotly contested
season In both the Southern, the American, and the National Leagues
to decide the respective champion ships, and now the World's Cham
pionship series are being played off between Detroit represeiyiug the
American League and Chicago representing the National.
Augusta to a man is pulling for Detroit and here’s hoping that Ty
Cobb will help his teammates win another pennant.
In the meantime, in order to give The Herald readers the Tnforma
tlon and the box scores, there will be baseball bulletins, baseball qx
tras, and the best sporting news by the best writers hot over the wires
every afternoon. This wire runs direct from The Herald office to the
baseball field and every play and half inning is reported in detail.
The Herald sporting extras are really classics ot their kind if you
are a baseball fan, and we are sure that they have filled a very warm
and cosy niche in the hearts of all our people during the storm and
stress that has accompanied the closing of the baseball season for 1908.
Never has the national game bad a firmer or more engrossing hold
upon the minds and hearts and purses of the American people.
THE OPENING OF THE
FALL BUBINESS SEASON
Winter Ib the dreaded season in the
North. On the farms there is noth
ing to do except to look after the
stock and to try to keep from freez
ing. In the cities business is dull
and the army of the unemployed is
always greatest. Those who are able
come South to spend the winter, and
those who are compelled to remain
at home pass It as a season of hiber
nation. It -is the season of discom
fort and dread for the poor, and of
Inactivity for business men.
The exact opposite applies to the
South. With us the summer season
Is the dullest. The farmers are busy
with their crops. The wealthier peo
ple go to the mountains or the sea
side. The Htay-e*-homes are left to
pull through the dull season as best
they can. But with the passing of
summer comes new life. The end of
vacation return' the stragglers to
their homes. Thj farmers have gath
ered their crops and are enjoying their
well earned res', while making leis
urely preparations for the coming
year. In the ri .es br t-ness Improves.
There is \jjfk t-r everybody, and
usually more work than there are
hands to do It. The weather has in
it nothing to bring dread, and homo
people, as well as visiters from the
inhospitable colder regions, find the
greatest joy in living.
At the threshold of this glorious
season we stand today.
For Augusta there is an added rea
son for a feeling of hopefulness and
cheer. A visitation of Provldenoe
had laid a heavy hand upon the city.
The flood of angry waters which for
two days rushed through our streets
not only did much direct damage, but
it did still greater damage in the
interruption It put to some of our
leading industries. It left the city in
darkness fat night, and it left our
canal dry, the chief artery of Augus
ta's! industrial life. The cotton mills
ahd other plants were stopped, and
all these weeks hundreds of men and 1
women were left in enforced idle
ness, their wages stopped while com-1
Relied to listlessly wait.
All this is ended now. The canal
breaks have been repaired, and the
water is again coming down. The
city's main artery of life is again per
forming its ordinary function. The
city is no longer In darkness. The
water famine is ended. Next week
the great mills will resume their in
spiring hum of whirring machinery.
The Idle wage-earners will again be
at work. As children after their long
vacation they will return to their
dally tusks strengthened by the re3t
they have had. They will [>• in con
dition to do better work and earn
larger wages. This means that local
conditions In Augusta will not only
now resume the normal, but with new
life infused.
Coming coincident with the regular
opening of the fall business season
this Jk ill surely make business in Au
gust brisker and better than ordina
rll.v. For the merchants the outlook
is most promising. Most of them suf
fered more or less heavy losses by
flood damages, and following this tin
partial stoppage of regular trade. But
they have laid in new stocks, and
probably never before were Augusta
stores t with larger, fresher
stocks than they are today. This also
ik another condition to assist a gen
• rai greater business activity, for this
fact will be an incentive for out-ot
town people to trade In Augusta to
get the benefit of these enlarged
selections.
So all things point together to the
best fall and winter season for busi
ness in Augusta which this city has
ever had It is beginning to be felt
already. It will continue to grow bet
ter and better until it shall culminate
in the greatest holiday season trade
in Augusta's experience.
EATING OTHER PEOPLE'S CHIL
DREN.
In our news columns today in the
story of the discovery of a tribe ot
pigmies in Africa Lieut. Colonel it
O. T. Bright makes this report, on
his return from a twenty month's
Journey into the interior of the dark
continent. In the dense forests along
fie hanks of the river Semlikl he
came upon the habitations of these
Liliputians, and concerning them he
reports that they are cannibals.
Tressed for food they eat children,
bul not their own.
To avoid eating their own off
spring they exchange them for those
of other families, which they cat.
What a horrible practice; What a
Oetestahle people!
But are these newly discovered
black pigmies in darkest Africa the
only people who eat children? Are
there not white people, not pigmies
but men of full stature and well kept
bodies in our own country who also
devour children?
Literally, we have no such people,
but there Is very little difference be
tween the way these African pigmy
cannibals devour their neighbor's
children and the wav the alien own
ers of some ot our Southern cotton
mills devour their neighbor’s chil
dren—for In a Christian country each
man is every other mans neighbor
though they may not live in adjoin
ing bouses.
Child labor is a tearful curse, and
especially child labor in cotton mills,
where tor long hours dally children of
tender years, driven by necessity to
| work in the mills, work for pittance
wages. To see these poor children
listless, emaciated, dull of eye, stunt-;
ed body and soul by the process ot
coining their life blood into money—
that by mtans ot the saving between
the pittance paid them and a living
wage tor adults the dividends of the j
Eastern stockholders may be increas
ed—shows how they are being de
voured These children are the prey
of men, their lives are taken to teed
others just as really as those African
chi dten wdtose bedits are- converted
into hash.
And just as the African cannibals
fo-Ai on other p.-opler children, so do
white cnnn'.ba s the same. Not c.re
of thim won! 1 consign one of his
own children to such a fate. His
children must be well nurtured, well
educated, given all the pleasure they :
can find, and only In too many cases !
wdnd up by marrying some titled
foreign reprobate, if a girl, or a span- 1
gled courtesan frbm behind the foot j
lights. If a boy; and thereafter furn-,
ish matter for the papers j
as did the son and daughter of old !
Thaw, who ate his neighbor’s chil
dren in Pennsylvania steel mills and
coal breakers.
In our Christian latjd we have can
nibals, who devour their neighbor's ,
children just as do those recently dis- [
covered pigmies in darkest Africa.
The method is not the same. Out
cannibals do not make soup or hash
out of the children they devour, but
cook their life blood into dividends.
This method is as selfish, as heart
less and infinitely more cruel.
OUR FLAG ON THE SEAS.
One of the illustrated weeklies re
cently presented a striking group ot
pictures. In the first were shown
five big ocean steamers, now lying
idle In San Francisco harbor. In
the other were shown an English
collier coaling the United States
cruiser Minnesota at San Francisco,
and the Tenyo Maru, the first of the
I three new Japanese turbine ocean
jjiners to reach the harbor of San
.Trancisco. It is a combination pic
[ture containing a significant lesson.
On the Atlantic ocean our tradT
with Europe and Africa Is carried in
steamers flying foreign flags. Eng
land, Germany, France and Holland
are operating the great ocean liners,
while the tramp steamers fly the flag
of almost every nation but our own.
The carrying trade between our coun
try and Europe is immense. Its an
nual value is great enough to sus
tain a big nation. Yet we have al
lowed foreign countries to gobble up
all of it.
Tradp upon the Pacific is in its in
fancy, but growing rapidly. Time will
come, and in the not far distant fu
ture, when the ocean carrying trade
of the Pacific will be greater than
the trade over the Atlantic. It will
make the nation which secures it rich.
The maritime powers of Europe are
terribly handicapped by distance to
command, this trade, or any consider
able portion of it. All of it should be
ours. But instead we are letting Ja
pan gobble it up. We do not even
hold what we have got. Our own
steamers are tied up in San Francisco
harbor, while English steamers coal
our battleships, and the Japanese
build new steamers and run them
Into our ports.
Something is very much wrong
when such is the state of affairs, and
our statesmen and captains of indus
try should locate the trouble and ap
ply the remedy.
That our country could meet other
countries on the sea and more than
hold her own, as she does on Jand,
Is too certain to admit of doubt. A
hundred years ago it was done, when
American clippers carried the Amer
ican flag into every port, and our
country had more than Its share of
the world's carrying trade. And what
Americans were able to do a century
ago they are much more able to do
now, if only they determine that It
shall be done.
It is sea power and sea trade that
has made countries great and rich
since the beginning of history, and
does so now. Egypt, by reason of
her ships, took the world power away
from the Persians; atul yielded it to
Greece when tho Athenian ships se
cured control. Then It went to Home,
after the great contest between that
power and Carthage. Curing the mid
dle ages the Italian republics, through
their ships on the seas, were the
world powers; and then the Span
isn flag on the oeean made that coun
try great, to lose in turn its great
ness when the Dutch and later Eng
land became mistresses of the sea.
