AUGUSTA NEEDS ITS MOST PROGRESSIVE AND
BUSINESS MEN AT THE HEAD OF
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
In the news and advertising columns of The Herald will be found
various announcements for the City Council primary election, at which
also will be selected a candidate for Mayor of Augusta. The Herald
cannot, but regard the next two or three years as most vital and Im
portant. In the growth arid development of the city, and as such Au
gusta needs Its most active, loyal and Influential citizens at. the head
and In the forefront of municipal affairs.
Mayor Dunbar's administration has been a most successful one. It
has kept well up In municipal improvements with the growth and prog
ress of the city. Much Important work has been done, and the man/
and various problems that Augusta has been called upon to face have
been handled In a business-like and effective manner.
The future of the city Is going to largely depend upon the next few
years. The elements of growth and development are here, and it
simply remains for the people of Augusta to make up their minds wheth
er Augusta Is to become the big growing, progressive, successful city
that she should be or jog along in the old-fashioned, quiet and con
servative rut.
The Herald believes that Augusta should have at the he.ad of the
next administration one of its most active, energetic, progressive and
successful business men. There is already talk to this effect which
we hope to see crystallze In the public mind and become so Inslsrant
that such a citizen of Augusta will allow his friends to use his name
In connection with tile coming mayoralty.
There Is no better inan for this emergency than Hon. Thomas Bar
rett. Augusta has no more progressive, energetic or successful ritiztn
and man of affairs in her midst today. Hiq administration of the af
fair* of Augusta for the coming three years will do much to make a
reality the Greater Augusta that we all want so much to see come
about. Mr. Ilarrett has already given much of his time to public af
falrs_ In Augusta. He has been a member of Council, served on the
School Hoard, and has always been ready and willing to do his part. In
all public movements looking to the progress and advancement of this
city and section.
In business affairs In this city and section no man stands higher
or has achieved a greater and more substantial business success than
hits Mr. Barrett, auR we nre confident that under his administration
Augusta’s best and biggest Interests will be fully developed and pro
tected In every way.
With the big problems (hat will confront. Augusta for (Jle next
three years, site will need such a man at the head of her affairs. The
Herald Is aware that for some time there has been a demand that Mr.
Barrett should make the race foV Mayor of Augusta—we believe that
the matter should he presented to him so strongly by the citizens of
Augusta as to gain his full consent, and we feel sure that, Augusta,
undot his administration, will grow and develop and expand on nroad
and big lines that will ensure llje increasing prosperity of the city.
MORE FACTS ABOUT OUR CONVICT SYSTEM
Distance Is said to lend enchantment to the view, which is very
true. But sometimes also distance, when It refers to a debated question,
brings to view fuels which were unnoticed before.
Our convict system has been changed. From being leased to pri
vate contractors they are to lm worked by the stale mid county au
thorities on ihe public ronds or on prison farms. This will call for
Increased taxation, /is Ihe change Involves heavy cost, In the mainte
nance of the prisoners mid in the loss of revenue from the convict hire;
bill perhaps It Is best. Al any rate, it Is now the law, and whether It
he best or not, there Is nothing else that cun be done about It now
but to attempt to make the most of It.
While Ihe question was under discussion much was said about the
111 treatment of convicts under the old regime. Individual cases were
cited, colored Its highly as possible, and held up to condemn the en
tire system. While these cases were overdrawn and distorted, It was
undoubtedly true that sometimes convicts were ill used. This Is insep
arable from such Institutions, and periodically there come just such claims
and charges, sometimes In one state and sometimes in another. But it
must be borne In mind that convicts and inmates of penal institutions
who are treated with greater severity than others are invariably the
harder CRBes among them and convicts who under our old convict sys
tem were whipped or otherwise punished were those who were rebellious
and Intractable.
But the change has been made, and those who were working for
It no longer have occasion to hunt up isolated cases to be woven into
a soul harrowing story. Other stories from the convict camps now
appear, which show that our convict lease system had a good side
to It ns well as a bad one. A Hnrrls county negro, who has just been
released after serving fourteen years, was paid SBOO In cash when he
stripped off Ihe stripes. He made the money by working extra time
during his confinement. That oould hardly have been possible under
condition* ns bad as they have been painted.
So It appears that under our old lease system a convict who con
ducted himself properly was not only trented all right, but had an op
portunity to earn money for himself, to give him a start in life as an
honest mnu at the expiration of his sentence. This saving tea tun# must
be entirely lacking under the new system. But as snid above, the thing
is done, and there Is no use to talk about it any more.
Only, that these stories that come to light after time has removed
the exciting debate to a distance, show that the convict lease system was
not as thoroughly had and without redeeming features as It was paint
ed th^n.
A BIG CANNING FACTORY FOR AUGUSTA.
Arrangements have been completed under which the old Rouse dis
tillery, just outside the city limits, on the Georgia railroad, will he con
verted Into a canning factory. The making of the necessary changes
In Ihe building will be pushed, and it is expected to have this new
plant In operation tn a short time. Its capacity will he quite large, six
hundred cases per day.
This Is an Institution which Augusta has long needed. To supply
the local demand for canned vegetables and fruits requires annually
thousands of dollars' worth of these goods. The larger part if not ajl
of this money, which was necessarily sent abroad each year, might have
been kept at home, ns enn and will now be done, with a canning fac
tor) In operation al home. Not alone may it supply the Jiome demand,
hut tt may be made of sufficient capacity to supply the *emand ot nil
Augusta's trade territory. This would mean an industry of large pro
portions.
JJuch a plant will furnish employment to many hands. In a new
Industry. In the city. Besides this tt will stimulate the trucking busi
ness around Augusta, because it will assure a market for all the truck
that the farmers may raise. There are times when the market ts so
heavily storked thnt all of certain kinds of vegetables cannot be sold
at a fair price, and consequently prove a loss to the growers. It Is this
which prevents man) from engaging tn the trucking business With a
market assured by the canning factory this element of doubt will be
removed atur a new impetus given to trucking around Augusta.
In h threefold way will the canning factory thus help Augusta, by
stimulating truck farming, hy giving employment to hands and bv fur
nishing profitable Investment for capital. This new venture should be
supported hj all Augustans. and in buying such goods, as soon as they
shall he put on the market. Augusta canned goods should be bought.
The more successful this enterprise can be made, the greater will he
the benefit which (he ettj as a whole will derive from tt.
Another thing ts worthy ot note in connection with this new indus
try. It Is a former distillery which Is to be converted into a canning
factor). When the prohibition law was first passed dire consequences
were predicted as certain to follow the stopping of business. It was
pointed out that all the capital Invested In the liquor traffic would be
practically lost. These predictions have not been fulfilled
The change did at first have this effect, tn many instances stores
tvtng vacant or other businesses suspended for some time. But gradu
ally conditions adjusted themselves. The stores, made vacant by (he
retiring saloons, have long since been occupied by other businesses, and.
there are only a few places of former business activitv that now remain
idle They have been changed to some other business, and give em
ployment to men Just as they did before prouibltlon was enacted
One of the lew remaining of (his class of plants was the Rouse dis
tiller) It stood idle for a full year. Hut it also w ill no longer stand
Idle, and here as elsewhere the-e will be business and life The fears
felt by some that prohibition would to a greater or less extent paralyse
business have fortunately prvveu uufuuudew.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
THE TUBMAN SCHOOL.
When Mrs. Emily Tubman donated
the building and grounds of the pres
ent Tuoman High school to the city
of Augusta she did a noble act. Hav
ing a large fortune to dispose of shd
left all of it at her death to charit
able or philanthropic institutions, and
so well did she divide her philan
thropy that today there are in Au
gusta and Richmond county numer
ous churches and beneficieitt institu
tions which she established or call
ed into to being by the endowments
she made. Among these the Tub
man High school is one of the most
benefiolent. Jt has been the means
of providing an education to thou
sands of Augusta girls, and has been
;n this way of the greatest value to
ihe community.
Conditions have changed since Au
gusta's great benefactress planned
ihe benefits she bestowed. These
were things she could not foresee,
and it would be in keeping with her
plans and purpose to make such
changes in the details —while carry- j
ing out the purpose—as would seem
to be required to serve this purpose
best.
The location of the Tubman High
school, desirable as it yvas for a
school at the time it was built, is
singularly inappropriate now. Around
it has grown the great cotton factor- i
age business, and it standx now in !
the very heart of the cotton ware- 1
house district —surely an Incongruous !
place for a young ladies' seminary.
It should be moved to some more
eligible location. This can be done
if the proper steps are taken. Anti
when this is don l , the scope of the
Institution should be enlarged, to
make it a female college complete.
Augusta needs such an institution. At
present it is necessary to send Au- i
gusla girls to some o'tlicr town to!
complete their education, when this j
should be made possible at home, and
In addition supply these higher educi
lional fatiiliiies to the daughters of
neighboring toyvns.
This matter is now engaging the
attention of the school authorities,
and It should be pushed. A female
college is one of Augusta's needs,
and the Tubman High school could
he converted Into one, in full accord
ance with the design of its founder.
A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR MEANS
A GOOD ADVERTISING YEAR.
More and more people are coming
to regulate their shopping by tho
store-ads.
More and more people are getting
out of the habit of going •to “the
nearest place,” or to the place they
have usually visited for certain pur
chases.
More and more people understand
and believe that when you have a
bargain to offer you will advertise it
adequately-—and that when you do not
advertise at all it is because you have
not, at that time, anything to adver
tise.
More and more are people coming
to decide things from reading the
ads— and to depend upon the news
and the facts contained in vhe ads
for guidance In planning purchases.
More and more are people coming
to understand that only enterprising
merchants advertise adequately and
informingly—and—more and more—
the people are coming to realize that
only enterprising merchants deserve
and should receiv.e support; that pat
ronnge otherwise bestowed is likely
to encourage non-progressiveness in
merchants. •
More and more the people are com
ing to discriminate against stores that
do not advertise enterprisingly, per
sistently, aggressively; for they real
ize that such stores are not up-to
date, nre not the sort that will keep
the city in the van of live places, of
awake communities.
More this coming year than ever
before will your advertising be the
test by which all else will stand or
fall—so plan it liberally, plan It on
winning lines
WITH MALICE AFORETHOUGHT.!
Much is being said about “pellagra" ;
.here lately. Pellagra Is a disease
that, is becoming quite provalent in
northern Italy, and is causing the
doctors much concern. It begins with
1 a general lassitude, growing gradually
worse from year to year until It ends
jln death, often preceded hy Insanity.
I No cure for It has as yet been found,
! but the discovery has been made that
the disease is caused by eating corn
that has not fully matured, as corn
must be which is grown In northern
latitudes.
It is asserted that this dreadful dis
ease has been discovered .in the
South, and the story isl spread in
Northern papers.
Why?
To add another to the bugaboos
concerning the South with which the
people of other sections and other
countries are being stuffed, to make
them afraid of the South as a coun
try unclean, polluted and dangerous.
This story of pellagra in the South
Is false. It Is circulated with malice
aforethought by those who love not
the South.
There can be no pellagra ia the
South, because the causes which pro
duce pellagra do not operate here.
Ver> little cornbread is eaten by the
whites. Of cornbread that la eaten
i that made of Southern grown corn
is not only harmless, because the
grains are fully matured by our long
summers, but there Isn't anything
more wholesome to eat anywhere in
the world. Even the negroes who
eat bread made out of Western corn
eat such bread only for a part of the
I time, not enough to be Effected by it.
This storj Is only another of the
: slanders that are perpetrated on the
! South. It is untrue. Yet It will be
believed where It I* circulated, among
uninformed people who are only too
| rend) always, because this has been
1 the regular order so long, to believe
1 every thing that is bad about our sec
tion.
THE SILLY STAGE IN HERO WORSHIP.
We are a nation of hero worshipers. This iB all right, within
proper bounds. The qualities of good men and the services of great
men should be appreciated and fondly remembered. But when this
remembrance and appreciation is overdone, and strained efforts are
made to exalt them, it produces an effect that appears silly and nau-
Beating.
Next Friday, February 12, is the centenary of Lincoln's birth
Has anybody seen a magazinp the current issue of which did not have
a Lincoln story for its leading feature? No matter how good a
thing may be itself, too much of it satiates. The stomach will revolt
against the most tempting dish, if served morning, noon and night
So also with panegyrics. Abraham Lincoln was a great man. and
what is better still, he was a good man. But to have laudation of
Lincoln thrust at you from almost every page you look at will finally
have the effect of making you wish that Lincoln had never been born,
or that hero worship he made a criminal offense.
In the case of Lincoln there is some' palliation for this hero wor
ship. He was a man who towered high above other men of his gen
eration. He did things which no other man had done, and which
perhaps no other man could have done. He was really a great man.
a distinctive man. It is proper to exalt him above other men, within
reasonable bounds. When, however, it is attempted to make a hero
out of a man in no wise different from the average man, who has
done nothing of signal merit out cf the ordinary, and set him on a
pedestal to worship a 3 a hero, thin hero worship becomes ridiculous.
This is being done in the case of Jack Rinns, the wireless opera
tor on the steamship Republic which was rammed by another steam
ship in a fog, and which finally sank forty hours later. Blnns sent
a message after the accident occurred, which was caught at a sta
tion on shore. He sent other messages, as long as his battery' lasted.
But what else could he do? That was his business, and he perform
ed it in safety. He did not risk his life; he ran no risk of any
sort, nor even labored under difficulties. The service he rendered
.proved of groat value, hut it was commonplace. It was not nearly
as heroic as the work of the sail ors who manned the boats that
transferred the passengers from one ship to the other. To pose him
as a hero is carrying hero worship to the ridiculous.
Some people go xpven further than that. In this naval disaster
another hero has been'found. An elaborate story is told by the New
York Press of Bostock, the cook of the Republic, who pared potatoes
with his feet knee deep in ice cold water, in order to prepare dinner
for Ihe people aboard Ihe ship. And forthwith Bostock is placed on
a pedestal and the hero-worshipers are invited to fall down and wor
ship at this shrine. This is carrying hero worship to the point of
silliness.
If the story be true as related then cook Bostock wasn’t a her)
but a fool. Aboard the ship there wore great stores of food in eat
able ithape. Potatoes might have been on the regular menu, but in
an emergency they couid have been Just as well omitted. The men
who would stick his feet in freezing water to supply something that
was not needed was a fool, and the people who would drop into
paeans of praise over such a performance are silly hero worshipers.
Hero worship must be confined within proper bounds, or it will
drop from the sublime to the ridiculous.
CHARLESTON PORT COILECTORSHIP FIGHT.
President Roosevelt has again appointed Dr. Crum to be collector
of the port of Charleston. His pe sistence in this matter is one of the
SSeat mistakes of his administrati n.
Crum is a negro, and for that i eason- the people of Charleston do
not want him to hold this office. It is an accepted principle in inter
national comity that no official s ail be sent to any country who is not
acceptable to the people among hom he is to be stationed. No such
appointments are made, and if fr r any reason an official becomes per
sona non grata to the people amoi g whom his official duties lie, the ap
pointment is canceled and* another is made.
This is the right principle, and it applies to interstate as well as
to international relations. When therefore the people of Charleston ob
jected most emphatically to this man in that office among them, Presi
dent Roosevelt violated a principle of right in making this appoint
ment. And when he persisted in this course, even to resort to most
extraordinary methods to carry his point, he gave a splendid exhibition
of pugnacious pertinacity, hut he showed himself deficient in good judg
ment, as well as in neighborly spirit.
He may have his notions about “the door of hope” for the ne
groes, and ne may believe that negroes should be appointed to some fed
eral offices. But even so, he should make such appointments where
the people would not object. He could have appointed a negro postmas
ter for Oyster Bay, and for all the postoffices in Massachusetts, or if he
believed that a negro should be the collector of some port, he could
have chosen Philadelphia, which has a larger negro population than
Charleston, or Boston, where consistently they should welcome such an
appointment.
But to spite Senator Tillman, or for some cause, he chose to make
this negro collector of the port of Charleston, despite the emphatic
protest of the people and despite the hardest fight that could be made
against his confirmation. He carried his point, and Dr. Crum has
served his term.
When President Roosevelt reappointed Dr. Crum this can be termed -
nothing else than pure cussedness. For his persistence in forcing
Crum’s confirmation it may he said in extenuation that the President
did Dot want to suffer the humiliation of having an appointment repudi
ated; no such excuse can be offered for the second appointment, whose
undesirableness he fully knew.
The same hard fight is being made against the confirmation of
Crum's reappointment as was made against his first appointment. It
seems to be almost a straight party line-up, the republicans being led
to Btand for confirmation because they do not want Mr. Taft to be em
barrassed hy having to face this appointment as an open question. Mr.
Taft has pledged the South not to make such appointments as this one.
He must either stand by this pledge or repudiate it. If he intends to
stand hy it then, if the Crum appointment is not confirmed, he will
make an appointment of his own, and it is held that this would show
antagonism to the Roosevelt regime.
Even granting it did that, Mr. Roosevelt has deserved nothing bet
ter. He should not have made such an appointment on the eve of his
own going out of office. For this alone he deserves to be rebuked.
As for Mr. Taft, it is a mistake to believe that he should be spared
the necessity of showing his hand in thi6 matter. Sooner or later he
will have to do this, and it will he just as well, or better, that he do
so at once. If he meant what he said in his Atlanta speech let him get
the backing which the certainty of this would give him, from the very
beginning of his administration. If he did not mean what he said, and
is not a man whose promises may be relied upon, th'e sooner the coun
try knows this the better it will be.
Crum's appointment should he held up, if it cannot be defeated, un
til after March 4.
THREE DIFFERENT WAYS, AND ALL WRONG
Many men have many minds. Thlb develops constantly, for it is
found that in nothing do all men agree. It is shown in three nota
ble events of recent occurence In the different methods adopted to
secure revenge on editors, on the part' ‘of men who felt aggrived by
what had been printed about them.
A few weeks ago Editor Carmack of the Nashville Tennessean,
was shot and killed. Several articles had been written by him and
printed in his paper in which the name of Col. Cooper was mention
ed. There was really nothing in these articles that was of any great
consequence, or at which a man of well balanced mind would have
taken offense, considering the fact that it was campaign talk. But
Col. Cooper, an old and political boss, considered these allusions to
him as very damaging, and accompanied by his son intercepted the
editor on his way from his office to his home, and without further
ceremony the two shot him to death, the deadly wound being inf’.'c*-
ed from behind.
The New York World printed a story about President Roosevelt
which, if true, brands hiijt as unworthy of the high office he holds, for
participating in a colossal grafting scheme. President Roosevelt re
lated bv calling the editor a liar in his usual energetic style, au<J
since then The World has made it a daily business to print stories
on endless subjects and garbed in variegated styles traducing and vili
fying Mr. Roosevelt. So vindictive is this daily performance that
it discredits The World's first serious charge, for it shows too plain
ly the animus that is behind it all. In the meantime Mr. Roosevelt has
entered suit again The World, not openly and in his own name, but
under cover and by proxy.
In Montgomery, Ala., The Advertiser made some comment upon
Gov. Comer which the latter resented as untrue. He brought suit
against the paper for heavy damages, got a verdict in his favor, and
was awarded one cent by the jury. Instead of framing this cent as the
tangible evidence that he was r'ght in the contention—for of course
he had not been really damaged, since it is most extremely rare that
anybody Is really damaged by what a newspaper or anybody else may
say openly—he still nursed his wrath to such an extent that a few
days after the trial, his two sons hunted up or ment the son of Edi
tor Glass, of the Advertiser, and being two to one succeeded in giv
ing that young man a good beating.
Here are three ways of resenting statements made in newspapers.
They represent the extremes of t ragedy and farce, with melodrama
In between. Yet neither of them seems the right wav.
To kill an editor Is a poor way of disproving what was printed
in the paper, and the quick action of the Tennessee legislature In
passing the prohibition law (which was really the issue between
Cooper and Carmack! shows that it injured the cause for which the
murder was committed. Suing a pnper by proxy cannot result in a
trial that would establish anything, and only helps to oast suspicion
on the men who reaorts to this mehtod. And beating a man s boy for
something the father printed In Ills paper Is a puerile method that can
only bring contempt on those who resort to it.
