SUNDAY, JtTLY 11. SLOGAN CONTEST NAS BEEN PROLONGED 1 ONE WEEK FOLLOWING MANY REQUESTS Yielding to suggestions that the slogan contest which was inaugu rated by The Herald to run for ten days from last Saturday, be held open a little longer, it has been decided not to close the contest Mon day, but to allow it to run another week. "Ehis will make the contest close Monday, July 19. The Herald was influenced to this decision partly by the fact that as the contest goes on, people improve on the quality of the slogans they send in. This has no doubt been due in a measure to the printing of some of the slogans which have been re ceived which allowed everybody to see just what was being done by others in the contest, and gave fresh ideas and opportunities for improv ing on those which had already been sent in. For this reason The Herald is reprinting today the slogans which have been printed during the last several days which are fair samples of those which are being sent in. Brevity and clearness are prime requisites of a slogan. The shorter it is the better, provided it expresses the idea clearly. It would not be a bad idea for everybody who has sent in a slogan to try to improve upon it and send in another or several others. What is desired is the very best possible slogan for Augusta. Let everybody get in the game. The person who wins The Herald’s ten-dollar prize is going to do it with a stroke of the pen. And not only is he going to win the prize that easily, but he is going to be known for years as the author of Au gusta’s slogan, the slogan which will go broadcast over the land ad vertising the city and becoming our trade mark as it were. The ladles of the city are sending in some suggestions which are very creditable to them. In fact the writer thinks the one best slogan which has been sent in comes from one of the lady contestants. The following are some of the slogans suggested thus far: Augusta, center of prosperity of two states. Augusta, where opportunities and resources pay biggest dividends to energy. Augusta, busy fulfilling the destiny her resources promise. Busy, enterprising and prosperous, Augusta sets the pace. A hundred thousand happy people, by 1915. Augusta, at the head of navigation and of her class. Augusta, needs nothing but more people to develop her resources and enjoy her prosperity. Augusta, where hustling is the rule and prosperity reigns. Come and get the habit. Cotton is king and Augusta is his queen—4oo,ooo bales a year. Augusta has got the growth habit. You can catch the habit if you’ll come. Augusta has the resources and is delivering the goods. There’s no telling how big Augusta will be in ten years. • Augusta can’t go dry unless two states say so, and there’s no chance at all of slopping its prosperity. Augusta, home of hospitable and prosperous people, and making the most of tremendous resources. Augusta—The city they all come back to. Augusta, the city of advancement. Ahead of thorn all—Augusta. Augusta, first, now and all the time. DOUBLE STAMPS MONDAY UNTIE 12 O’CLOCK. A. & P. Washing Powder, 1-lb. Package ... .3c Gold Dust Twins, 4-lb.

C. LEWS SON 8r CO. HIGH SPECIAL DELIVERY MAIL RECEIVED HERE Statistics compiled at the Augusta post office show that there was a re markable increase In the number of special delivery letters received and despatched, for the half-year ending June 30, over the same period of last year. From January 1 to Juno 30. 4,189 specinl delivery letters were delivered in Augusta: while 5,383 were des patched in that time. I'c is a noteworthy fact that the convenience and advantages of this feature of the postal service are be coming more generally realized, and resorted to. There is a surprisingly prevalent mistake in the minds of the public, however, as to the security of a spe cial delivery letter. It is not guar anteed like a registered piece of mail, as many think. The ten-eent stamp only insures immediate delivery the moment it arrives at its post office destination. The service does provide, though, what is known as a “special register,” which combines both the prompt do livery and the security of a registered piece of mail, and it is frequently used. Its cost is ten cents for spe cial delivery, eight cents for the regis ter, and two cents for postage. One special delivery clerk and five substitute letter carriers are employ ed at the Augusta post office, to de liver “specials,” and they are kept busy mos't of the time.

LONDON -The Golden West or Am erican Kxnibitlon at Karl Court i» at tracting far more attention here than Mr. Imre Kiralfy’s so ruled Internatto nal Exhibition at Shepherds Bush, Tho charming grounds, are now full of tho vivid floral beauties of the tfmniner sea son, whilst everywhere one moves tho air is full of instrumental music of tho highest and most pleasing character. Wlmt at once strikes the visitor is the energy and searching activity of tho American trader, as exemplified in the marvellous variety of mechanical ap pliances displayed for minimising labour and the vastness of the resources of tho states. Yet thin exhibition does not, in oven a small degree, tho comprehensive exposition of American industry and skill. Undoubtedly that may be so, but the present display Is nevertheless significant and highly, in teresting. In tho hall devoted to the stamp exhibition Is an engrossing col lection of the postage and revenue stamps of the United States from the earliest times. Two small frames contain exhibits of unique interests. In the first ar© seve ral apecimcnts of what Is known as '‘stamp money. ’ These were used by the federal government, during the Civil War between north and south. Owing to tho scarcity of coinage stumps were offered and accepted as nWney, but in passing from hand to hand they had soon become disfigured. To obviate this, the Stamps were inserted into small brass frames with a mica front to show their vnlue and the portrait of the presi dent. The other frame contains two stamps of perhaps even greater interest. They are the actual stamps, issued by Eng land for its colony of American under the stamp act of 1765. They show the British Crown, the Star and Garter, and i the motto. “Ho aoit qui ma ly pense and hear the values of “ono penny” and “four pence.” The use of these stamps was one of the causes of the War of In dependence and the loss of America as n British Colony. To business men another item of in terest Is found In the Automatic Kloo trlc company’s stall, which is designed to demonstrate the practicability of the automatic telephone. It h vast econo mic value in urban and long-distance communication is shown. It does away entirely with tho intermediary of ex change operators, is claimed to he ac curate in its working, and is succinctly and humoursly described as “tho girlless and ('useless” system.

J. Coleman Dempsey is in re ceipt of a communication from Adju tant General Scott ordering the Rich-' mond Hussars to go into encampment in Atlanta not later than the 15th of July. The regular meeting night of the Hussars is held on Thursday night in each week and tho order was received after the last meeting night and the company is ordered to report before the next meeting night. Capt. Dempsey states ’that owing to the shortness of the notice it will be impossible for the Hussars to comply with the request of the Adjutant. Cap’t. Dampsey will, however, appeal to the state authorities in an en deavor to have the adjutant general give the Hussars ample titue to pass on the time (bat will be most con venient for them to go on an en campment and the place that it will bo most convenient for them to go to. Owing to tho condition of the state treasurer the adjutant general and Governor Brown have decided that the state will staud the expense for an encampment provided the men will demand no “per diem.” Capt. Dempsey is in hopes that the Richmond Hussars will be allowed' to go ln'to an encampment somettm* In August and that Instead of going as dismounted calvary vu ordered that tho company will bo allowed to go as regular calvary with full eqclpusat aud horseß. ■lay* and tha American ofttos and bnak furniture und appliances of tbs present.
