Practloally every desirable cottage In Summerville Is rented thin win ter, and If the number were larger, more could be let out for the «ea son. The management of the Bon Air hotel does not rent cottages, and then subrent them to guests of the house, as many believe. On the contrary, they refer prospective cottage tonants to the real estate dealers down-town, who have them Hated for rent. II is only to afford especial ac commodation to a limited number of guests that the hotel provides table board for their cottage tenants. When the hotel (Ills up, nnd there Is no more room in the house, a small "waiting list” of guests are generally referred to cottages nearby that are for rent, and table board Is furnished them at the hotel. But the manage ment Is not anxious tn do this They prefer to have all the guests In the Dine Jit The Olympia and be in the fashion.

When the house Is full, the capacity of the dining room Is practically taken up by the guests When cot tage guests come In, therefore. In large numbers, the dining room Is overlnxi d Therefore, only a limited number of guests are provided table board, at tin' hotel, when I hey live In cottages. There Is always a demand for well furnished cottages In Summerville. The northerner comes down to look around. Ho finds a house that suits him exactly, nnd he rents It for the season, maybe for two seasons. An other prospective visitor for the sea son comes down to look over the cot tages He find* one that suits him except In one particular, there Is no furnace. The landlords readily prom ises to hnve a furnace put In by the time he brings the family on. But chances are three to one that he will rent a cottage that has a fnrn/tce ready to steam up. The northerner wants his rollngo slenm heated. H« Insists on having II steam honied. When a man of means from the cold north comes to Augusta with his family nnd keeps house two sea sons. or three, In a cottage, It Is splendid Indication that he likes the climate, nnd In almost everv Instance he will buy a alto, and build a beauti ful winter residence. The cottage, therefore, not only provides comfort able habitation for the winter visitor, Imt holds him here more than one season, and the climate will do tho rest.

REAL ESTATE winter home builder should want to give Augusta’s climate a "try-out.” And the balmy breezes, the invigor ating atmosphere, the pure water, the unexcelled golf course (If he plays the game) never fail to "make good.” Scores of winter homes have been •built In Summerville by gentlemen who kept house here two or three winters, in cottage's. The winter visitor is a stickler for comfort. Ho insists that if he pay a gooil rental for a cottage, it be well furnished. As a general proposition, the vacant cottage Is not up to the standnrd required by the northern vis itor, This fact Is fast dawning on the cottage owners. They have come far/ to face with a realization that unless their cottages aro well furnish ed, steam heated and provided with other comforts, they are hard to rent, (’oilages In Summerville bring tremendously high rentals. In com parison. It Is not iinusiinl for a cot tage to bring from SI,OOO to $2,500 for one season. The northern vis itor doesn’t mind paying that price, hut he wants something for his mon ey; the same being altogether nat ural.

COTTON SEED MEN AGAIN OFFER ' PRIZES Secretary Fielding Wal lace Announces Four Prizes For Compositions on Cotton Seed as a Food Product. Mr. Fielding Wallace, secretary of the Colton Seed Crushers' associa tion of Georgia, announces that this association will again offer a hundred dollars In gold to the school children of Georgia for the four best compo sitions on "Cotton seed products as a human, animal and plant food." Last year a similar contest was inaugurated, which resulted in thou sands of compositions being written throughout the state and instilled an unusual amount of interest in the south's richest commodity. The four prizes are to be divided as follows: First prize SSO in gold; s*oud, $25; third, sl6; fourth. $lO. None of the compositions are to be over 750 words in length. The compositions will doubtless be divided into the following topics: The merits of cotton seed oil; cotton seed otl ss a composition of human food; The great advantage of. cattle raisin,: in the south and its possibilities and the importance of cotton seed meal and hulls as an auxiliary thereto; The value of cotton weed meal as a loon far horses and mules; The merits of cotton seed meal as a plant food, being one of the ingredi ents of commercial fertilisers. The three best compositions in each fertilisers. The three best compositions In each school In the state are to be sent to the county school commissioner of that county not later than April 2.5 th Each county school commissioner is to select the one best composition from all received and send it to the state committee of Judges, which is to be announced later. A letter enclosing circulars em bodying all these facts has been sent to every county school commissioner of the state and will no doubt attraci widespread intcresL Not By Wire "Look at John Hays Hammond.” The speaker and another newspa per man who had seen much of the Taft party while It was in Augusta, stopped at this exclamation in one of the hotels a day or two ago, while the one who speke indicated with a look the party referred to. It was not Mr. Hammond, as a second glance showed, but the gen tleman bore such a striking resem blance to the great mining engineer and man of affairs, that a mistake might readily have been made. The middle aged man, comparatively low of stature, wit> broad chest, consider ably bald, and with the same iron grey mustache, was lounging in a chair and smoking a perfecto with the democratic ease that character Ized Mr. Hammond. It was this democratic bearing of Mr. Hammond which was one of his chief characteristics. It was fine to sit with him at the B/n Air, when he was In remlnescent mood. Then the tales of adventure on sea and land flowed readily, with a scope all the way from his early mining ex periences i n the west to the stirring adventures of the Transvaal. It was his African experiences that most interested one; because these were part of the unwritten history of world affairs which finally saw the termination of the Boer republic. Con trar£ to the usual impression Mr Hammond did not figure i n Jamison’s famous raid itself. He was at the ot her end—in the Boer capitol itself where he and one hundred and fifty others organized a Washington corps, ready to assist from within the efTect of the blow which Jamison and his riders were to deliver from without. With Mr. Hammond as co-leaders were a brother of Cecil Rhodes, and another. Cecil Rhodes was financing the operations of the Washington 1 Corps. He was sending in arms con cealed In Standard Oil Tank Cars, j and within a few days everything would have been ready for the upris ing in Krugtr’s capitol, when Jami- j son, who had secreted himself and ! his riders a couple of hundred miles away, should make his dash for Pre- ! torla. The world has not fully understood that Jamison made his dash prema- - turely and before the devoted band I In Pretoria had received the ammuni tion for the arms they had. The world does know the miserable end ing of the raid. ~ It knows much of the famous trial of Jamison and his compatriots, and little about the short shift given Hammond and his fellow conspirators in Pretoria. Mr. Hammond tells about these j things as though he related the story of someone else. You hardly believe that the man before you, talking so unconcernedly, was the actor with the star part. It was as though a man at breakfast told of a bad dream he had during the night. There is no Ego in Mr. Hammond. So it is when he tells you how he refused to flee when told of Jami son’s fiasco and his own approach ing arrest. “I couldn’t have left those fellows we had led into the thing, stay there and bear the brunt of It.” One of the officials of the city, a man drawn to this great American as men irresistibly are, to those of his stamp, had warned him, and told that he had secreted two horses out- j side the city for him, and there was yet time to flee. But there were one hundred and fifty others—and Ham mond stayed. Knowing how fearful would be the consequences, even was tht plot successful, he had previously urged Mrs. Hammond to leave. But she too refused. Mrs. Hammond had seen strenuous times before, out on the edge of things, in our own West. Then the arrest came. He was up stairs in his home with Mrs. Ham mond, and she smiled bravely at him when they knew the knock on the door after supper could mean noth ing less than arrest for treason. Re alizing the strait he was in this American still would be In dependent. He surrendered on con dition that he be not manacled, and that be be escorted to prison by the one officer. The trial lasted one day. The eon sptritors had been caught with the goods. They made no defense. They had nothing to say why sentence of death should be Imposed upon them. They were to die next morning, yet Hammond, finds room to tell of the miserable grub the Kaffirs served them for the evening meal. He de clared he slept that night, and no man can hear him tell it and not be lieve. The execution was postponed. The wily Kruger, with the piot stamped out. persuaded his “Tellow officials that a dead American and English men were -no good, but could be made to pay handsomely If alive. Several hundred thousand dollars were got ten from them after months of, im prisonment. When the messenger came from Kruger to tell them that their sen tence to death had been commuted to life imprisonment, he asked them if there was any word of thanks they wanted to send his excellence: “For what?” asked the conspirators in chorus. They would have preferred death to spending the remainder of their lives behind prison bars. Once out of prison Mr. Hammond took an expedition up one of the Af rican rivers and became til, but per sisted in seeing the t'x’ng through When he came back he decided that he would come to the states for a PILES CURED AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPTION METHOD If you suffer from Weeding, itching blind or protrudtng Piles, send me your j address, and I will tell you how to cure yourself at home by the new absorp- j tion ’reatment; and will also send some j of this home treatment free for trial. | with references from your own locality If requested.

RAISED $20,C00 FOR NEW BAPTIST CHURCH MEMPHIS, Texas.—The sensation of the month in religious circles has been the raising of nearly $20,000 for building a new Baptist church, in face of the fact that a like amount just been raised since Christmas to build a new Methodist church, and this growing new town Of 3,500 people in the Panhandle is feeline rather proud of itself in the fact that it is spending $40,000 at one time in building churches. The popular pas tor of the Baptist church is Rev. W. L. Head, formerly pastor of one of the Atlanta churches, and he is bring ing things to pass since he came here a year ago, the congregations out growing his church and making a rest. Arriving in San Francisco, he became seriously worse. Physicians diagnosed the case as appendicitis, i That he had not died of it while suf | i'ering from it in the African jungles ; was a marvel. ' Mr. Hammond has had many stir ring adventures i u the west, in the early mining days. It is most de lightful to hear him tell of them in j his simple unaffected way, and to ! picture the stirring scenes where gold was the prize and human life the forfeit; and hard to believe that the graceful courtly gentleman sitting op posite one at the Bon Air hotel in Augusta had passed along the way he has. c.
