MOVING TIME IS COMING; RENTING AGENTS GET BUSY Supply of Homes Will; Equal the Demand, Say ; the Experienced Real Estate Men. LOTS OF BUILDING “Inquiry” Cards Are Be ing Sent Ont and Agents Are Finding Out What Houses They Will Have For Rent. The first of October Is "moving day In Augusta, and thv» first, of Au gust Is “notification day” for tho renting agents. It I" tho consensus of opinion among the renting agets that the supply of houses this year will bo adequate to fill the detnnd. Thl* condition win b» srunewhat un usual, but It 1b no more than could be expected, in view of tho working of certain causes In tho first place, there has been a great deaJ of buMding in Augusta within the past tdx months. A well known real estate dealer called atten tion a day or so ago to the fact that, vacant building lots In desirable to caliths nr« being snapped up one af ter another, and that where the un sightly billboard formerly greeted tho eyo, attractive honvk-s are to be found. Of course nothing but a tremend ous lmildlng boom would have a per ceptible effect on the balance scale of Bupply and demand In the matter of renting housoe, and while this has not bee the case, the groat, number of new residences put up Btisce the first of the year may ha cited as one of the reason why there will not. be a scarcity, A GREAT DEAL OF MOVING. Another reason why this condition may he expected is that there was a great deal of moving after the flood. Matty people took to the suburbs, above the water mark, and they wili stay there for several years, or at least, longer than they would have rented in one place down town. Perceiving that there would be an Increased demand for houses tn these districts, men with money to invest Immediately spent all they could spare erecting houses In the suburbs. There has been more buildiug, com paratively, i n the outlying sections of the city than Immediately down town However, this did not reduce the price of rents tn town, as every house vacated after the flood was immedi ately taken. It Is a noticeable fact that most of the houses being built within Immedi ate access to the central portion of the olty are to be occupied by their owners. Instead of rented, and as a natural consequence more money is being speut in their erection. POPULAR HOUSE. The “popular house" tu Augusta i* one that rents for $25, tn a desirable locality, not too far fro m tho business district The ku-atlon of a house lias a great deal to do with the price It rents for in Augusta. The average basis of rental te $a per room, mak ing the six room house worth |JO per month. How aver, a house in a more exclusive locality is worth $lO to sls more pur mourn. About the 15th of July, the renting agent* send out thetr “Inquiry" cards, Rsking sverv tenant whether he in tends to rent another year He is given two week* to make definite an pwer l n this way the routing agents are able to make up by tbe first of August or soon UnsreaZtwr. a cost;- rlete list of bouse* they will have vacant by the first of October. THE AUGUSTA HERALD MIMES IS BUILDING ON MONTE SINO Mr. W. H. Holmes is building a fine residence on Mon to Sano. The house is located a couple of blocks from tho old Mont© Sano pavilion. The house will be a frame house, two stories ln heighth. Tho place will cost 34,000. Mr. Jasper Purise will start very soon on a residence on upper Broad St. The house will contain eight rooms. The building w-ill bo a frame one, and the cost will be about 33,000. MRJRBINCTON WILL BID ON BROAD STOEET Mr. Luther Arrington will build a tine residence at No. 451 Broad* St., In a very short time. Preacher and Holman tne architects have juet completed the plans, and the work •will probably begin within a week. The house is to be finished by October Ist. The house will cost SB,OOO. The house is to be built of stucco, with tile roofing. There will bo two stories, with dormer windows. The house will contain nine rooms and eVery modern convenience. The place when finished will be on© of the prettiest in that part ot the city. AT THE AIR-DOME Tne Air-Home will put on another ex tremely high class show this week a h.ibit it nas, somehow or other. This week's j*how, however, will rank with the best ever seen in Augusta, or in deed in at.y city, and will again IV/ head ed by an act never before seen here. The Three Ross Sisters, singers and daiufrs, is the first sister trio ever ap pearing here, and they come with gold en opinions from press and public in every city they have played. Their special feature is harmony singing and toe dancing, and they will be great favorites with Demers from their Ini tial appearance. another unusual feature will be The Minstrel, Herbert Sw-lft, "The Beau Brummel of Minstrelsy." besides being nn able blackface comedian, Mr. Swift is a cornet virtuoso, and lover© of good music will find a treat ln store for them out of theea two numbers alone of this week s offering* But Joe comedian, will hold up the funny end or rather the purely funny end of the show, and he will do it to the uueen s tast. As a comedian he has no evjual, and he wilt keep the people laughing from the minute ue comes on until he departs from the stage. The T\>mo*sr*rh feature pictures will also be ocnUnued and the Illustrated ballads wih be sandwiched in as usual. This week** Air Dome show has the gurrsxrt*#© of the management as being above erttfeism, and the usual large crowds wiU no doubt be in attendance. CLINCH RIFLES GIVE DR. PLUNKET fi FINE BIBLE One of the sincerest tributes to be paid Dr. Plunket on the eve of his De parture for Birmingham was that of the members of Company H. Clinch Rifles who presented him with a very hand some Bible, accompanied by resolution of esteem find affection. Dr. Plunket was chaplain of me Clinch Rifles for a number of years, and in that affiliation won the love and ad miration of ail "the boys.’ Being anx ious to present a token of their esteem they purchased the finest Bible they could And, and hid printed on its cover Dr. Plunket’s name, above the inscrip tion, "Chaplain of the Clinch Rifles." It was presented at n.s home Saturday eve ing. The following resolutions accom panied the gift: WHEREAS; It has pleased God in His all-wise Providence to call to other fields our beloved Chaplain, Rev. J. T. Plunket; and, WHEREAS; He has been prompted by the Holy Spirit to accept this call, by which he is necessarily removed from our midst; and, WHEREAS; We so keenly feel the loss of one with whom we have been so closely associated; and, WHEREAS; We are desirious of con veying to him some idea of the high esteem in which he is held by the mem bers of th« Clinch Rifles; and of their individual appreciation of his services and counsel; therefore, be it RESOLVED; That in losing Dr. Plunket, we lose, not only an efficient Chaplain—one always ready to counsel us for the asking; but a friend as well; and even though h© leaves us in person, we feel that his prayers will remain with us always; even as ours go with trim, and be it further RESOLVED’ That as he goes into other fields, we wish him God-Speed; that Augusta’s loss is but a gain for his new home; and in appreciation of the services which he has so willingly rendered us in the past, we present him with a small token of our affection and esteem; and v finally, even though he may never make this city his home again, we shall endeavor to be with him in that P»ace which is prepared for us in an o-.ber land. Be it RESOLVED; That these resolutions be suitably inscribed on the minutes of this company, and a copy be sent to Dr. Plunket with the "small token’ re fer! ed to herein. W. A.

HANDSOME HOUSES Bonds Are Soon To Be Is sued To Build a New Two-Story High School. The popularity of North Augusta as a place to live is growing every day. As a suburb It is truly “coming into its own.” It has all the advantages of high elevation, invigorating atmos phere, pure water, and a good car schedule, that Summerville enjoys. And not only as a residence sec tion, but as a municipality, is North Augusta taking great strides. City council spent SIO,OOO for civic im provements, during the fiscal year that closed on June 30. That isn’t so bad for a little town of 1,500 to 2,000 population. North Augusta points with pride now to her street lighting system, her three miles of up-to-date sew/rage sys What it Costs The Sunday Herald For White Paper A lone In takes on an average 2928 pounds of white paper to print the Sunday Herald. In round figures a ton and a half of white news is run through The Herald's Double Deck Goss, Straigh Line, Press, taking approxi mately two hours of press work for this one edition. $75.00 is the cost of this white pa per that is used in the priting of the Sunday Herald and which you are reading today. It is not alone the number of pages in any one issue of the Sunday Herald - that makes the paper bill large, but the NUMBER OF COPIES printed as well. The total white paper cost is the number of pages in the Sunday Herald multi plied by he number of copies printed and distributed to subscribers and that's $75.00 for this one issue alone. $75.00 for white paper for the Sun day Herald isn't much, but when you pay It 52 Sundays In a year, it runs up to $3.900 —nearly four thousand dollars a year for the 152.256 pounds of white paper alone that is used in the Sunday Herald. —Mr. Andrew J. Deas, Jr., and Master Maxwell Deas will return home today after spending a pleasant week on the Isle of Palms. The Air Dome Another—not as good as the rest, but better than the best.

Commissioner Nls* bet Wingfield, of the public works de partment of Augusta, recently told the mayor and city council of the prosperous little city over the river that they had spent their money to splendid advantage. The civic Im provements they made are there to stay. And North Augusta's building boom, like that way across the river, oa the Sand Hills, increases and con tinues. Bonds w-ill soon he issued to buiUJ. a new high school. It will probably be situated near the present academy. The architect's plans have already been adopted. The building will be a handsome, two-story brick struc ture, to cost SIO,OOO. The curriculum will be on a par with that of the Tubman and the Richmond Academy in Augusta. Several handsome homes are in course of erection in North Augusta. Mr. J. H. Brown is building on Caro lina avenue, his house to cost about $3,000; Mr. H. R. Walker is putting up a pretty place on Georgia avenue, to cost about 3,500; Mr. Harry Wall is building a home. These paper figures really seem Im pressive as well as oppressive, even on a paper the size of The Herald, when you stop to consider them. What they rlfelly amount to all over the country is something fabulous. The Saturday Evening Post uses In a single edition something like 500,000 pounds. The Sunday Herald prints 8,265 copies and that's a great many times the circulation In Augusts and in its territory of even the Saturday Evening Post. But the particular fact in all this Is the cost of white paper and we do know that a ton and a half of news paper used 52 times during the course of the year, as the Sunday Herald uses, costs mighty close to $4,000 for this one item alone that goes to make the Sunday Herald as delivered to you each Sunday in the year. THE COST OF THE WHITE PA PER ALONE, BIG AS IT IS, IS BUT ONE OF THE MANY ITEMS THAT GO INTO THE EXPENSE ACCOUNT OF NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING THESE DAYS. FLOOD COMMISSION WILL REPORT ON EMPLOYING LAWYER At its meeting Friday night the flood commission took up aijd dis cussed at some length the matter of rendering to city council a report of employing Hon. Clem Dunbar as le gal representative to work for tha passage of three local bills now pend ing before the general assembly in Atlanta. Chairman Fred B. Pope calls atten tion that council did not mean tot the commission to render a detailed report of all their expenditures, only the mater of employing a lawyer be ing at issue. At the next meeting of covytcil, tha matter will be gone into thoroughly.
