TODAY’S STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.—(WaII street)—The
stock market opened weak with show
ing of sharp declines for most of the
favorite speculative issues.
The report of obstacles to the list
ing of U. S. Steel on Paris Bourse
affected the whole market.
While thei-e were some severe de
clines in minor stocks after the open
ing, support was extended to the usual
leaders for some time, and the initial
losses were largely made up. Covering
of shorts was on a large scale. The
recovery, however, tempted new sel
ling by bears and prices relapsed
again.
Prices moved up slowly until most
of the stocks were within a moderate
fi’actional distance of Tuesday’s clos
ing. A few rose higher. Trading be
came stagnant at the recovery.
Powerful support was again assert
ed after the general price level had
fallen slightly lower than at the out
set. The Harriman Pacifies were bid
up aggressively to a fraction over
last night, and there was a rally all
around. Another decline in Reading
to the previous low point unsettled
the tone and trading became dull.
Bonds are easy.
The market made further progress
upwards, but the movement was very
slow. Business was restricted largely
to important stocks.

To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir: We would thank you very much
if you would give the following spaoe
in your valuable paper.
To the Annexing Committee, also to
the Father of Good Roads:
At our last meeting we all agreed
to write and ask those that could
to please annex us, either to the city
of Augusta or to the county of Rich
mond.
We are more than willing to be an
nexed, pay our taxes, and to help swell
the next census, .lust please drop
Summerville, that don’t want to come
into the fold and take us. We will
be less expense, as we huve more
waterworks than we can control and
plenty to supply all with drinking and
other needs; but we need your help
in controlling our waterworks. The
cistern or locks or whatever is in
control has been running over our
highways for from two to six years,
and such roads, you never did see In
a civilized country. We have cut new
roads and gone through our neighbor’s
fields, until the whole dog-gone coun
try is washed in holes and gullies,
and if we do not get annexed soon
and no way opened to fly, why every
one of us will have to go to see each
other through the woods, and quit go
ing to mill, church or to your city.
The place where we stay and want
taken in is west of Blythe, Oa., gene
rally known as Goosetown and Plne
tucky—(lf good roads is the Richmond
county line) then say ten or twelve
miles from Augusta to Briar creek—
or Jefferson county line.
I don’t know if the pathfinder that
left our neck of the world ever reach
ed Augusta or not. If it did it sure
took a path to the line. Still it has
never been heard from since—a total
loss to its owner —all because we
have no one to take care of us. So
won’t you please take us into the
fold of good roads.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN.
The above photograph shows a design iri which the cement block and
cement brick arc combined with pleasing effect. The structure has the
appearance of solidity, yet the upper story Is light and cut with graceful lines.
81ze32by35 feet, about, exclusive of front arid rear projections. The basement
and first story above grade are of rock face cement blocks, natural cement
gray color, and the second story is built of frame wltli a veneer of red cement
brick. Variation in color effect can be hud by making the water table, belt
course dividing the block* and bricks, the window sills and caps and all corner
blocks of bluestone. The contrast In color between the red brick and the gray
block Is striking and agreeable, giving a life to the exterior which the pho
tographer cannot reproduce. The rooms are all of good size and well ar
ranged for convenience. Estimate of $4,000 Includes furnace heut and
plumbing. THE THOMPSON ARCHITECTURAL COMPANY.
