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 tty the president ordered him home, to stop his babbling tongue lamg worth tried to deny haring made the statement, but a doaen reputable men made affidavit that they heard hint say it Then Mr Longworth said he was merely Joking, an excuse so lutne aa to be even more stupid i m - oat I ■ \ bill -i' Pr. - den R , Ing and the mainspring of all hla actions, was revealed In a manner ■*> eonvimlnx that he has had the good semd- not to deny tt.

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 above all other wines now Imported trom other countries, and sold -tt high price* on account of their sup ; posed superiority, i The Mupp*rnong. hy careful cul tivation. ha- been made to grow In great cluster* of fifty or more ber ries to the hunch, and the same can doubtless be done with the tnu-on dine Fancy a cluster of muscadines jof thi* slxe, and at once the famous grapes of Rachol. found by the spies in th< Promised l-and. pale Into In significance And that la the future • crowing neglected and unappreciated m i ur wood-, wasting the fragrance iof It* riper.-ng fruit upon the desert air. 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. Russia, with all her wealth and pow er, has never been able to become a really great country, because she has never taken to the water success fully. And Is our country to be allowed to fall to Russia's position? We are mak ing the same mistake now which Rus sia has always made, trying to build up a fighting navy without having a merchant navy behind it. This i« a fatal mistake, as every country has learned to its sorrow which has ever undertaken tL Are we to give the control and i the carrying trade of the Pacific, with all that this implies to Japan? That t» one of the moat momentous ques tions upon which the future greatness |ot our country depends.
