The Augusta Herald hits a larger city circulation than any other paper, and t larger total circulation than any other Augusta paper. This has been proven by the Audit Co., of New York. Liberia Is now on the look-out for aofttebndy to adopt It. Perhaps Castro Would undertake the Job'.’ The bllxznrd, as UKual, did Its worst in the West and hud reformed Into fairly good weather by the time It reached here.

Even the gulf stream Is reported lost Will those prohibitionists now take warning and atop trying to sup press everything that is wet? Hut Just wait until Ihe one-hun dred ih anniversary of Roosevelt's birthday shill he eelehraled. If you really want to know how great and good he Is. II Is said that none but the hand tomeat men in the various slates have been chosen to represent their states at the big tnngurntlon hall. That explains why Judge Hammond was chosen from Georgia.

It Is stated that the supply of rub ber In Congo Is nearly exhausted. But there Is no deervase In the rub ber-necking In our country, as may be verified any windy dny In Ihe streets. And when the battleship fleer roaches Hampton Hoads there will ho many of the brave sallormen who will have an attack like Captain Qua! trough had at Gibraltar. But It ran be overlooked at home. A man has been discovered who claims that he spanked Roosevelt. However he did that many years ago, for the fellows who have tried 11 in later years are all too sore to say anything about their attempt.

More and more each day are he p<giple beginning to believe In Au gusta real estate as a safe and profitable Invegtmtnt. This is true not only of suburban real estate, but of city and central property, resi dence and business blocks as well. As Augusta grows there is bound to be an Increasing, satisfactory and Bteady demand for real estate. One of the things that has in the past perhaps retarded real estate Investment in Augusta has been the faei ihpt the rest! --state market as a market and as a basis of trad ing has not been as. active and as w ell advertised as other linqs of busi ness. Rial estate in many southern cities is traded in as actively as cot ton and grain and stocks and merchandise and other commodities. Here in Augusta in the pas!, real estate investment, the buying slid sell ing, has largely been a matter of isolated and personal investment. The market has been a too narrow- one instead of the broad and growing one it should be. ‘ itut Th< Herald believes 'ha- Augusta real estate in >he near fil lin' is going to be one of the most active and most profitable forms of local Investment. This, however, is largely a matter of development, confidence and push. The way - o do business is to do business. The way to attract attention to Augusta, her industries, her trade, her real estate, Is to let the people both at home and abroad know what is going on >n Augusta. If you want to keep in touch with what is going on in Augusta, you want to read the real estate news in the Herald. If you are in terested In real estate read the real estate news in The Herald. INTELLIGENT SELF-INTEREST IN TRADING. A communication in another column from "A Farmer" points a les son that is worth careful study. 'A Farmer," by his own statement, is one of those who are being led to spend their money in distant cl ties Instead of spending It at home, under the delusion that in this way they are doing what is best for themselves. He cites two purchases that he has made, which cost him S3O, or less and on which he claims to have saved $8.50 on what their cost would have been to him if he had purchased these goods in Augusta. The extravagant amount of this alleged saving stamps it as an absurd ity. The mall order house of which he bought those goods made a profit on them. That must be conceded, for that Is what people engage in business for. That in a reputable business anywhere, on staple goods, any merchant should set a price to make a profit of over 40 per cent, over and above the regular and legitimate profit, is absurd. No doubt "A Farmer" believes this. Nothing Is so easy as for peo ple who are laboring under a delusion to find evidence to sustain their delusion. Ho went to a merchant and asked for what price he would duplicate that $17.85 suit. He did not go with the cash in his pocket to buy a suit. Had he done that there isn’t, a shadow of a doubt that he could have bought a suit fully equal to the one bought from the distant mall order house, for the same price. It must be remembered that the price of a suit does not depend on the quality of the goods alone. The workmanship and the "finish" is an important Item that figures in the cost, and a suit, made of the same quality of goods, command different prices here in Augusta and everywhere else. There Isn't anything which for the cash —and the mail order trade is strictly a cash trade —cannot be bought as cheap in Augusta -as in any other city in the country. The merchants in Augusta do not make larger profits than merchants do elsewhere, they can and do buy their goods as chea|i, and their expenses are not heavier—they are not as heavy as those of a mail order house must be. It follows then, that for the rush any judicious buyer can buy goods of any kind as cheap In Augusta as elsewhere, and In addition have the advantage of mak ing his selection In person. * There are no prices anywhere that Augusta merchants cannot and do not duplicate. Sewing machines can be bought in Augusta for less than $16.85, pianos for less than $195, and organs for less than $46.80. It must he borne In mind that there are different grades and qualities of goods, and that the best command a higher price. In Augusta all quali ties can he found In Ihe extensive stocks carried by Ihe merchants, and while Ihe higher grade goods cannot he sold at lower grade prices—as can he done nowhere —goods of like quality can be bought no where cheaper than In Augusta, and the iowest prices for goods quoted any where ran he duplicated In Augusta, often minus the transportation charges which an individual purchaser would have to pay on purchases from a niHlt order house. "Why should I pay more (for the goods I buy) to keep the money here?" asks A Farmer? As pointed out above, he will not pay more for goods of like quality that he buys here, and we should all try to keep all the money here that ran he kept here, for Ihe more money there Is In circulation the more prosperous will all of us he. Suppose everybody were to do as "A Farmer" does? He Is a farmer, and as such he has things to sell. Does he sell eggs? Where could he sell them if everybody would send to a dlstnt city for cold storage eggs, priced In mall order catalogs for one cent below the price of farm eggs'.’ Does this Illustrate the point and answer the question why money should be kept at homo as much as possible? The most enlightened self Interest demands such a policy. This does not mean that It should in all cases be done, even at an actual sacrifice. And such a sacrifice Is not required, for the eanie dill gence given to reading ads. In the home papers that ts devoted to study ing mall order house catalogs, and intelligent shopping will enable a purchaser to buy goods from his home merchant as cheap as a mer chant anywhere else can sell them. In tills connection the letter from a Mr. L. S. Barrett of Wrens, Ga., to L. Sylvester & Sons, published In yesterday's Herald, is illuminating. This letter expresses the satisfaction given by an order for clothing, filled by this house by mail. If people In other towns, who are com pelled. because their home merchants cannot supply the goods desir ed. to send mall order* to other cities, find that In quality and price Augusta merchants can duplicate the best that merchants of other cities can offer, then the people of Augusta and Richmond county who patronise distant mall order houses, in the belief that they get better value for their money, must be mistaken. And in doing this they belrav a want of intelligent self-interest, which should always lead a man to spend his money' so that it will re man at home, when he can get equal value for it at home. PATERNALISM IN S OUTH CAROLINA. There Isn't « more rock-ribbed democratic state In the entire Union than South Carolina, its people are democratic In principle to the core. And democracy is the very anthßh pals of paternalism It is vert* re harkable, then, to note that a distill ctly paternalistic law has not only been introduced in the South Carolina legislature, but that the passage of this law la advocated by that staunch democratic paper, the Charleston News and Courier. The bill in question was introduced by Representative Doar, of Georgetown, and it provides an appropriation of SSO 000 by the state for the purpose of buying school nooks for the children of deservin’ poor. While such a law would he undemocratic, because it is a cardinal principle of democracy that the government should not do for the Indi vidual citiien what he could or should do for himself, yet a law of this kind would be right. The strict principles of democracy in many cases arc inapplicable to a groat country, such as ours has became, or to mod ern conditions which require more or less dependence of one man on others. The state provides for public education, which also is undemo cratic in principle, hut has been found wise In operation and generally adopted by all the States. And In line with public education in the supplying of the books necessary in imparting this education. If the state should furnish free education for its children, then it should make it free not only by providing teachers to teach, but also by providing books which must bo used in the teaching. The objection to the proposed South Carolina law would seem to lie in the f act that it aims to provide free hooka only for the children of (he "deserving poor." Who ia to decide which of the poor are deserving and which are not? And to provide free books for the poor would be legislation which is always wrong per so If free school books are to be furnished they should be furnished not to one class of pupils, but to all pupils who attend the public schools. if this were done, no doubt it would efTect a saving at large, in the lesser amount that would be required to be spent for this purpose. The books belonging to the school, they would serve successive pupils in the same classes, just as the blackboards and other study helps do now ; and being public property It would become the duty of the teach ers to look after their care and preservation, which wouid make them last longer Besides it would save the individual loss which is inevitable when the advance of a child from one class to the next leaves on the parent's hands a set of books for which they may have no further use, but wrhich still remain usahle Incidentally, if the state were to furnish the school books there would probably not be so much changing of text hooks as there is now; which, although of course not done for that purpose, has all the appear ance of being done principally to create a demand for more of the prod ucts of the book trust. THE AUGUSTA HERALD THE LENTEN SEASON. Next Wednesday will mark the be- I ginning of Lent, the great annual I penitential season. It is observed as a religious duty ver s strictly by the (Catholic church, and less strictly by | various of the Protestant churches. That, aside from its strictly religious !or devotional feature it is a whole : some custom, conducive to physical ■as well as moral uplifting, must be readily admitted; and this being true, its observance is to be commended. Lent comprises the forty days pre ceding Easter, and in Christian ob- is intended to represent the Savior’s pa-ssion before His crucifix ion. The follower of Christ is expect ed during this period to practice self denial, and more than ordinarily give thought to his past life with its short comings and to the future life with its promises. In consequence of thi-s there is dur ing Lent a cessation of social gaieties and observances which are purely for pleasure. Jn society it is the grand period of rest during the year. In the practice of self-denial, aside from the special fasting, there is greater simplicity of living, in consequence of the abstinence from everything that comes under the head of extras and which, while tickling the palate at the same time vex the stomach. The rest thus given to the nerves and the physical organs cannot do otherwise than be beneficial physically to the observers of Lent. And the natural effect of this physical change upon the mind, together with the spirit which induced this self-denial, must have the same improving effect men tally and spiritually. Man can only be made better by the obligations of Lent, and the stricter they are observed the great er the benefit that will result. HERALD ECHOES We notice an advertisement in the columns of The Augusta Herald: "Wanted to contract for 1,000 tons of tomatoes, 100 tons of sweet pota< toes, 100 tons of beans, 100 tons of peaches. Augusta Canning Factory.' This points the way to the farmer who labors year in and year out planting cotton to the exclusion of other products and in most cases hardly makes living expenses.—Way nesboro True Citizen. The Augusta Herald calls Mr. Taft a “near citizen of Augusta." So near and yet so awfully far.—-Brunswick News. The Augusta Herald says there are only two classes of citizens in Jack sonville now, the booze sellers and the booze fighters. How about the booze consumers? Don’t they count 1 —Americus Times-Recorder. The Augusta Herald suggests that the lawyers in the Cooper case must be getting pay by the day.—Anderson Mail. We agree with Editor Phinizy that if Senator Platt’s autobiography makes very clean reading, it will have to be heavily blue-penciled by (he editor.—Atlanta Georgian. The Augusta Herald begs for sym pathy because a municipal election is about to be pulled off in Augusta. You have ours, and lots of it.—Brunswick Journal. The Augusta Herald, saying that Taft was fed on possunt in At lanta and alligator in New Orleans, asks what Birmingham will feed him on. Why. ham. of course.—Americus Times-Recorder. The Augusta Herald says in India na the married suffragettes desire to drop the "Mrs.” from their names.

Richmond County, Ga. Editor Herald: I am not a news paper writer, but I want to say some thing on two pieces of news that ap peared in The Herald about mail or der houses. Why should any one send their money away, when they can buy as cheap here? They think they are buying as cheap, but, are not. the goods are shoddy, or some thing to that effect. I bought a suit of clothes from a sample. The suit come and was Just as good a fit as I wanted; the goods were as sample. I put them on. went to a first-class clothing house in Augusta, told him I wanted a suit of the same goods and style. They examined them, showed me a suit that he said was the same goods, price $25.00. The suit I bought from Augusta $17.55. Now why should I give $7.15 more to keep the money here? My wife bought a skirt from the pame place. It did not fit. She send it back by mail; they sent her another one that did fit, and sent the stamps back to her that she sent the skirt with. For the same goods it was $1.35 cheaper by ordering it. I could name lots of things that are the same as the above here is a few things that are standard goods: Mail Order House Augusta Article Price. Price.

The general office for the state of the Indiana and Ohio Live Stock Insurance Co. has been located in Augusta, with Mr. Henry M. North as general manager. This company is the largest and most prominent of its kind in the country, and Augusta is to be congratulated on hav ing been chosen as Us headquarters. That this was done is due to the hard and persistent work of Mr. North, which has been rewarded at last by his city carrying off the prize. This should be an inspiring example to others. What one man has done, others can also Jo by putting forth the same effort; and if this be done Augusta may expect to be chosen as state or district headquarters for many other corporations doing business in this sec tion. Situated on the borders of two states Augusta certainly is admir ably located for such business, and this advantage should be pressed. \\ hat the location in a city of the general office of a corporation means is too well understood to require pointing out. It will give em ployment to people In the office help that is needed; and in that all the business in the state or district is transacted through the general office it will mean an increase in business generally to this extent. Mr. North has led in a way whic{t others should follow. There are many corporations whose general office could be located here if earnest and persistent effort to this end be made. ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND JEFFERSON DAVIS. The country has just celebrated the one-hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Although Lincoln was not president of the southern states in fact, this does not prevent the southern people from honoring his memory as that of a great and good man. The coun try, split in twain during the time when Mr. Lincoln was president of a part of it, is now more firmly bound together than ever, and South and North the people alike are glad that this Union is indissoluble. And South and North they have outgrown the animosities which na turally existed during th'e war, and proudly recognize each the merits of the leaders on the other side, because they were Americans. The achievements and glories gTown out of that lamentable struggle are the joint heritage of the American people, now one and indivisible forever, and so it is that the birthday of Lincoln brought as warm tributes of appreciation from the South as from the North, and that the birthday of Lee just a few days before was the occasion of is many sincere eulogies in the North as in the South. These were great men, Lincoln and Lee, among the leaders in that titanic struggle. But they were not the only ones. There were others as great as they, and as gr od as they, and it is painful that even now, when the bond between the North and the South has become so close and the bitterness of the unfortunate past has been so nearly completely obliterated, there shou’d be one exception to it in regard to one man. While the leaders ».i each side are equally honored by both sides, the people of the North make an exception of Jefferson Davis. when the South honors the memory of Abraham Lincoln—because he deserves it—the North gladly replies by honoring the. memory of Lee—because he deserves it—and acclaims; See how we are equal in magnanimity! But is it quite an equality? Isn’t the North just a little behind the South in this, just a little short of that greatness of spirit which would tear out the last vestige of the antagonism of the past, and do full justice to all the actors in that great joint drama? The North cannot offset the South’s appreciation of Lincolns by its own appreciation of Lee. The two were unlike in their respective parts in the drama. Lincoln was the northern chief executive and Lee was the southern chief general. Jeff Davis was Lincoln's counterpai» in the southern government, as Grant was Lee’s counterpart in the northern army. As the chief gent-rai of the northern armies the people of the south honor the memory of Grant, even as-the people of the North honor the memory of Lee. And when it comes to honor the chief of the country, the North in its failure to honor the memory of Davis is behind the south which honors the niomory of Lincoln. This much of prejudice remains in the hearts of the people of the North, for Jeff Davis is worthy of honor fully as much as Abraham Lin coln. In many respects the men were unlike, but in lofty devotion, in purity of life and purpose, and in ihe shining example they set to men in high public station, each was the equal of the other. Lincoln was the chief of the cause which won Davis was the chief of the cause which lost when the sword was made the arbiter. Lincoln died a mar tyr’s death almost in the moment of victory; Davis lived a martyr's life in the years following the war, when the remaining animosity of the struggle was all centered upon him. That was the difference between them. This should now be buried. Jefferson Davis was a great and a good man. as much so as Abra ham Lincoln. Posterity will so regard him. And it is time that jus tice be done his memory in the North, as in the South the memory of Lincoln is honored. THE UNRELIABLENESS OF THE WIRELESS. After the naval disaster off the coast of Massachusetts which re sulted in the sinking of the steamship Rejhblic, there was sudden and great appreciation of the wireless system of telegraphy. Jack Binns, the operator, had sent out aC. Q. D. message which had been caught. Oth er ships were apprized of the accident and hastened to the relief of the vessel in distress. All the circumstances connected with that mes sage were magnified until, like wine drunk to excess, it produced a state of mental intoxication during which people were carried off their feet. For one thing the president recommended and congress enacted a law requiring all passenger steamships to be equipped with a wireless apparatus, and many people believed that the efficiency of the wireless had been demonstrated beyond a peradventure. But here was our battleship fleet, crossing the Atlantic. It was coming home after a great achievement. Its home-coming was to be made a grand spectacular national demonstration. The country was on the tip-toe of expectancy, and eagerly waiting to hear from the fleet. It had sailed from Gibraltar. A rumor spread of a disaster to one or two of the ships after having left that port. The people at home be came doubly anxious to hear from the fleet. On each of these battleships there was a wireless apparatus, and an operator fully the equal of Jack Binns in skill and in devotion. And along our shore, from Maine to Florida, there were wireless stations, each of them also manned by competent and faithful operators. Mes sages from the fleet should have been received every hour of the day and night, after it left Gibraltar. They were doubtless sent all right. Those operators aboard the fleet did honestly try to earn their salaries, without a doubt. One or two unimportant messages were indeed re ceived, but that was all. This proves that the value of the wireless has been very much over estimated. That C. Q. D. message from the Republic, which made the whole country lose its head, from the president down to the paragraph ed, was more a fortunate accident than anything else. The wireless may come in handy, on rare occasions, but it is highly unreliable in its service. Messages may be sent by wireless; of that there Is no doubt. But it can only be done under favorable conditions which prevail only oc casionally, and which, with increasing use of the wireless, will be come still more rare, since the increasing static electricity in the at mosphere and the mix-up of messages must produce a tangle that would be only a useless puzzie. The wireless is like the heliograph, which can be worked only under certain conditions; and unlike the heliograph in that it may be known when the latter can be operated successfully, whereas there is as yet no method for ascertaining when conditions are favorable for send ing a message by wireless. SOUTHERN MEN FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE. The government service is being continually extended, which means that the number of persons in the government employ is being continually increased. Already the employees of the government, in ali its various departments, outnumber the persons engaged in any other industry except that of farming, and still this great army of Uncle Sam’s boys and girls increases not only numerically but also relatively. The government service, except the higher offices and the army and navy, has been placed under civil service rules. That means that these positions are open to all who can pass the required examinations, and once having been appointed to a position in the government service this position is assured to the occupant. He cannot be dismissed, as may be done by a private employer, except for his own misconduct. And Uncle Sam, while exacting in the service he requires, is not a hard task master. He pays liberal salaries, he doesn’t require long hours and where possible, he gives an annual vacation. This makes employment in the civil service desirable to persons who are under the necessity of earning their daily bread by work, and in many places there is quite a competition to enter into this service. There has, however, been a deficiency in this respect in the South. For this reason it is a fact that in many departments of the gov ernment service the proportion of Southerners is far short of its proper pro rata share. This is not due to discrimination against the South bv the government, but because the proportionate effort is not made by the young men of the South. An unusually long list of government appointments are soon to be made They embrace almost every department of the federal service. Examinations for these positions will take place at an early date, and many of these positions are very desirable. Our young men should se cure the list of these vacancies, and such of them as aspire to such ser vice should file their apn'iication for examination, and have their names placed on the list of eligibles for these positions. The South should be better represented in the office sharing in the federal service than it is, and the way to do this is by the course here suggested. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY SI.
