Tho contest opened by The Herald for the coining of a slogan for Augustans is creating the keenest interest. Not only are the people of Augusta Interested, hut the papers of other cities are watching the r<- suit. Ft is a new idea, bn* its practicality and value is at once appre ciated so soon a a it is well considered. Hence it i•- that suggestions are multiplying, and the Hlogun Editor's desk is being loaded with sug gestions. And for this reason, because during the last two days the number has so greatly Increased, bowing that mon people are giving it thought and it is desired to get the benefit of the greatest number and variety, tha'c it has been decided to leave the contest open another week. Now let everybody try. Even those who have sent In their sug i ■ sfton may try again. Having given further thought to the subject may have led to a new inspiration. At arty rate it costs nothing and may win the prize and better than tha , may become the, slogan of Augu tans to help enthuse the spirit to lead to a Greater Augusta. What is a slogan, as contemplated under this proposition? Ordi narily it is a battlecry, or a cry to arouse the people 'to action. "Re member the Alamo" was the slogan of the Texans which kindled the en thusiasm that led to Texan Independence and later to Texas becoming one of the great sisterhood of slat* "Remember the Maine" Is well remembered as the slogan which led 'to the victories of the Spanish war and the liberation of Cuba. A d ogan for the people of a city would he a kind of trade-mark for that city, concise and expressive, popular to use, and Instantly recognized as pertaining to that city as "Whore the ocean breezes blow" nt once fixes the mind on Tybee Island. Hur-li a happy phrase coined and popularized by the people would become a standing advertisement of the greatest value for Augusta, in a distinctive and suggestive expression which would be all her own. Who will it be to make the suggestion of the many that are being made, that shall be pronounced the best by the judges? COTTON PICKING BY MACHINERY Commenting on the statement that a young man in Augusta has in vented a cotton picker, the Edgefield Advertiser does not take, a very optimistic view of it. That tho Invention is a practical machine it does not doubt, but the information that it, can tie placed on the market for SSOO or S6OO at, most kills its enthusiasm. ‘‘At that price,” says our con temporary, "only a few fanners in Edgefield can afford such a luxury.” This is a mistake. A practical cotton picking machine would not be a luxury. It would be a necessity. It would reduce the price of cotton picking and in this way soon pay its cost. Those farmers who had such a machine would be enabled to produce cotton cheaper than those who bad not. This would compel all progressive farmers to equip themselves with those machines, and. as in the case of wheat threshers, small farmers whom It would not i«jv to make such an investment would be served by enterprising men who operated cotton pickers for hire. Th> trouble with a cotton picking machine Is not its price. This might he depended on being reduced n> the lowest possible figure in a short time, since improvement would lead to Its simplification. When linotype machines were first invented the price was so high that only the big dailies were able to equip themselves with them, but subsequent Improvements have produced machines so reasonable in price that even the smaller weeklies now find them within their reach, and are rapidly supplying themselves with these labor-saving machines. So it would be with cotton picking maohlnes. Bur the trouble with such machines Is that they must do their work at one operation, and cotton does not all open at once That a machine can be constructed to pull cotton locks out of the bolls and deposit them In a wagon or other receptacle cannot be doubted. This Is a me chanlcnl operation which a machine can be constructed to perform, without a doubt, in fact many such machines, operating on different principles, have been Invented and found to be practical cotton pick ers. But no machine can be Invented to work at different times at the same time, and this is what would be required of a cotton picking machine to make it of practical value to the cotton grower. When cotton nitons In the boll it requires picking. If this is not done promptly a large part of it will be blown out by the wind, or drop of its own weight. Thousands of bales are lost annually on litis account, because the hands are not available to pick the cotton as fast as it opens. Granted that a machine has been invented which will pick all the cotton that is open on the stalkß, when shall It be used? if it be used when half the cotton Is open the remaining half would he practi cally deulroyid. for after a machine has been driven through n cotton field the stalks would he so broken that no machine except a thresher could work them over again. And if t.ne picking should be delayed un til all the cotton bolls had opened the best half of the rrep would be lying in the dirt and perhaps growing again. For this reason a cotton picking machine, to he of practical value, can never be invented Small hand picker* might he made, and many of various kinds have been made which pick separate bollß, but all these are very little if any Improvement upon expert fingers. And so for all time to come, unless a kind of cotton ran be produced which shall open nl! its bolls at the same time, human fingers will re main the only practicable cotton picking machines. A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE The foretelling of future events or conditions is called prophecy. Yet all such foretelling Is not prophecy. The astronomer who calcu lates the time of an eclipse of the sun or moon, and a year or longer before It occurs tells exactly the hour nnd duration as well as the lo cality from which this eclipse will be visible, is not a prophet. He (Uas not prophecy, In that there Is In the future event he foretells no element of doubt. He tells what 1* certain to happen, based on the cal culations lie has made, and which he has proven and found to be cor rect. The farmer who plants a fluid In cotton in Aprti can safely make his arrangements for picking cotton out of that field In August. This does not constitute him a prophet, for experience and reason teach him that this result Is absolutely certain So In various ways, with more or lea* certainty, future events or conditions niuv be foretold that par take not of the nature of prophecy, which Is foreknowledge by some supernatural channel, but by a conclusion reached by reasoning from known causes to their known effects. In this way taking a peep Into the future of this section, what doe.g It show ? A rich country, the home of teeming millions. Great cities where there are now small towns. The lands all cultivated like a continuous garden The tbwns connected by superb roads. Tim rivers and streams everywhere harnessed to industry, supplying the power for countless in dustrial plants, giving cm pi ymant to millions of busy workers. To sa\ that tills will lie the condition of the country around Augusta a hundred years hence is not prophecy. It is simply foreseeing what must surely coma to pass from causes which are in operation now. It Is foreseen that in another century our country will have n popu lation approaching near to a billion Of this there Is little doubt.. Where will they be sett kid? The North and West are now filled to a degree t||;rt in some part* ihe population Is crowded. The stream of immigration has already turned Southward. This stream will grow, un til this section too will be populated so densely thpt It will seem tilled. Out suit, can sustain a population ten times atl.t more ils present uujjihor And within a century, from these causes operating, the popu lation of the state n litoh ia at present about 2,500.000 "ill have in creased to 25 000.000 or perhaps 50,000.000. And people must work This t* the law of human existence. What work will those million; do? Till the soil Everywhere in the world It applies that the denser tile population, the more valuable the land and the more carefully t* it tilfsd With such a large population there "ill he no Idle land. No land allowed to lie waste and unimproved. Every acre will bo cultivated. In the effort to make it yield the most it may he made to yield. The farming population will he mauv times doubled. So also will be the Industrial population. In a hundred yuan the world will require annually a hundred million hales of cotton. The most of It will he grown tu our cotton belt. And the most of it will be manufactured here The mills to make tho cloth to clothe the world will be located In the South. ln addition to this there will be innumerable other Industries, de veloping our mineral and other resources And all this Industry will promot" trade So will there he employment for the millions whose home this section will be. This is not propheiv It Is not a fancy dream It is the cold rea soning from cause to effect, almost as conclusive as a mathematical demonstration And when this condition shall urriv. with the time that must bring It, what of Augusta' This fair city will still be here, for this is the place designed by nature ter ihe central city of this great valley which opens Into the Piedmont section r h<» river will have become a great highway of traffic. The city of 50.000 will have grown to a great me tropolis of many hundred thousands The business blocks will extend far into the present residence section. The suburbs will stretch for miles in every direction. City lots vrul command prices that now seem fabulous, while they arc so cheap. The yonng man who acquires city property now and holds It, will leave his children rich In landed wealth. This is what a peep into the future reveals. All can see this who will look. And the wise ones will look and profit by what they se<x THE AUGUSTA HERALD MORGANATIC MARRIAGES. The report that Mias Elkins is go ing abroad has revived the gossip concerning her engagement to the Duke of Abruzzi, and speculation as to whether this w-ill lead to a meeting and reconciliation between the cou ple and ultimate marriage. As the public understands, the i Duke met thr? lady in Italy, fell in | love with her, paid court to her and sought to win her for his wife. He j had wort her love and secured her | promise to marry him, when his rela | rives raised objections. The Duke | is of royal family, first cousin to the King of Italy, and it is regarded as a mesalliance and a disgrace for one of royal blood to marry other than a ! princess. The Duke, who appears ] to be a manly man despite the fact ! that-he is a prince, was disposed to disregard this barrier, bur in this he was over ruled by bis family. Tho dowager queen, his grandmother, as ’ well as the King’s and who rules the family in matters of etiquette, was firm in her opposition. The family council issued its emphatic veto on ! the proposed marriage, and if the Duke • married her under these con ditions i’t would moan the forfeiture j of all his birthrights as a royal prince of Italy. There have been royal princes who have paid thlß price for their love, ; but for reasons which appealed to i him , the Duke of Abruzzi did not choose to adopt this course. Perhaps ; the lady herself refused her con sent to 'this sacrifice. At any rate l it wasn't made. Instead he proposed a Morganatic marriage, which the | lady declined. And so the interesting | case stands, and as all the world loves I a lover so ail the world is interested to see the ending of this romance. There seems confusion in the minds lof many as to what constitutes a j Morganatic marriage. Such marriages are not uncommon in Europe, where they are consummated in cases like this. These are marriages between princes of royal blood and ladies of plebeian hirtli, in which in marriage the left hand, instead of the right is given, and for that reason they are also called left handed marriages. In such marriages the wife does not share her husband’s rank or station. Although the marriage is considered legitimate, the wife Is not recognized by 'the husband's family, and while he forfeits by such a marriage none of his rights as a royal prince, his wife does not share them nor do the children of such a union Inherit them. Of course the wife should share all the honors that may be her hus band’s by right of birth or achieve ment, and as an American girl the lady did rigli’t in refusing a marriage which did not include all this. Now what will he the further course of this true-love which has encountered such rare breakers? Will the old dowager queen relent, or will the Duke sacrifice family ties and high station as the price of his love? RETIRE THE GALLOWS On Friday las't there were tw-o exe cutions in Georgia. Two men, con victed after a fair trial of murder, paid the penalty of this crime as the law directs. This was hanging them by the neck until they were dead. In regard to capita! punishment there is a difference of opinion. Some people are opposed 'to it, and others believe that it is the only adequate mode of punishment for certain crimes. Those who oppose it do so from motives of humanity; they be lieve that the infliction of capital pnlshment is brtftal, cruel and de meruornltzing, and that some other mode of punishment could be adopted not open to these objections. Those who favor capital punishment for certain crimes do so because it is commanded in the Bible, and because they believe that this is the only mode of punishment, that provides adequate atonement for the crime committed, and adequate protection to society against the spread of such crimes. Much can be said on each side of this question, and it will probably re main an open one for generations to come. While agreement on this point is impossible, there is another on which advocatas and opponents of capital punishment would easily agree If ft should only be presented to them. This is that executions should be more humane If the execution of a death sentence he in the most hu mane maimer possible It would be the next thing 'to the abolishment of capital punishment, and the advocates of this would favor it. And since capi tal punishment contemplates only snuffing out the life of the criminal and this can be us effectively done in a more humane manner than by hanging, those who belteve in capital punishment cannot object to it. Hanging a matt by the neck is a horribly cruel and barbarous form of execution. I'nder the most favorable circumstances exceedingly revolt ing, aud sometimes it becomes posi tively fiendish ln Its details Of the two hangings In our state last Fri day one was of this character. The cotton rope that was used stretched to such an extent that the oonTict's feet touched the ground. This making strangulation impossible IN THE LAND OF PLENTY Providence has smiled upon he farmers of this section this year. The seasons have been all that could have been desired. There were no late killing frosts in the spring. A dry May gave splendid oppor tunity for working out the young crops. And since tho latter part of May there have come a succession of generous rains which have made the grass grow, to be sure, but which have also made the crops grow in a way to delight, the hearts of the farmers. And so we have reached nearly the middle of July, with beautiful sunshine tempered by cooling breezes succeeding another general rain. The corn crop is made, except the latest plantings. And such a corn crop as is now r ripening its grains in the fields of this section has per haps never before been known. Fortunately the acreage also is large, a result of the low- price of cotto n and the high price of grain at plant ing time, and so the yield of corn this year will be far beyond the aver age and greater than the best previous yield. Not only the corn but the forage crops are exceedingly fine. The yield of hay of various kinds this year will be extraordinarily large, and since after all these early summer rains a dry latter summer may be expected, the prospect for curing it in fine condition is good. This will mean an abundance of feed on every farm, and full corn cribs and barns make the farmer independent. The cotton crop also is very promising at this time. Although not as far advanced as the corn crop, it is all that it could be desired to be at this season. The plants have had no setback and are fruiting splen didly. It was the hot dry- weather about this time last which biighted the cotton prospect, just as the hot winds (despite the fun made by politicians about Governor Smith’s declaration to this effect) cut short Georgia’s prospect for a two million bale crop two years ago. But this year we have had the hot spell, and r.assed it without injury to cotton, and all indications are that the weather conditions will remain favorable, assuring a top crop as well as a bottom crop for the first time in several years. The largest cotton crop for this section is now' in sight. And prices are high. Spot cotton is selling at 12% cents, and the tendency is upward. Some of our farmers are now selling their cotton for 12 cents for future delivery, and others are holding off, believing that the price wili be still higher. There will be the rare combination next fall of a good crop coupled with good prices, Add to this full corn cribs and barns, with the smoke house ac companiment, and peas, potatoes, cane and other by-crops which all promise well, and it appears that this section will be truly a Land of Plenty next fail. The fanners will have more money than they ever had before, and besides will have more supplies at home than they ever had before. The plenty of the farms will overflow' into the towms, and prosperity will smile upon this entire section her most contentment and joy-giving smile. It will be prosperity with a big p, after two years of leanness. ARE OUR PEOPLE “OVERCHURCHED” This is a question that is now being discussed. The Charleston Post, speaking for that city, is inclined to think that they are not. It reasons that seventy churches, lhe number credited to that city, is not too much, since that would give an average membership of 1.000 to each church. Even with less than 20 per cent of the population church members or church attendants, bringing the average down to 150, it does not think that the city is overchurched. Augusta has proportionately still more churches than Charleston. Just how many churches there are In Augusta nobody seems able to say with the assurance that the number is right. But that churches are very numerous is a fact that is patent to all. Two o n one city block is by no means a rarity, and they are found on almost every street. Greene street is studded with them. In the heart of the cotion sec tion stands the church. Among the busy provision warehouses the church is sandwiched. On the main streets and on the side streets, in the older parts of the city and in the newer parts and out in the sub urbs as well, everywhere are churches. If the number of churches be a measure of the goodness of the people this would be an excellent showing for Augusta, since it would prove that we were far advanced towards the angelic stage. This claim cannot be made. Still it may be reasoned that a very large number of churches is a good thing, since churches are uplifting agencies and of these the more the better. But there is another view to take of this matter. The better a church can he supported the greater is the amount of good it can do. And since the support, of a church must come from its membership, as a general proposition it must apply that the larger the membership the better the support of the church. This being true, why should churches be multiplied, when there are enough? The complaint of al most ali pastors is concerning empty pews, and it is only on the rarest occasions that any church is crowded. Yet the church building con tinues, and principally of those denominations which are already amply provided with church accommodations, with the inevitable result that many of these churches are starved, and very few get as strong support as they need. What would he sufficient to constitute one strong church, equipped to enter fully into ali modern church activities in a way to accomplish the best results, if divided among several churches, would meat; a number barely able to keep tp the appearance of life. And the very appearance of sofne of our many churches is proof that this is the case. If this is true ,are we not overchurched? Would the cause of re ligion not be better served if the number of our churches were smaller, which would mean churches better equipped to fulfill their mission? THE PROGRESS IN NAVIGATION Next fall it is planned to have a grand Hudson-Fulton celebration, In honor of the discoverer of the Hudson river and of the inventor of the steamboat which made its first trial trip on that river, from New -York to Albany. A feature of that celebration will be a parade up this river, ln which the central figures will be reproductions of the two original vessels, accompanied by a fleet of modern craft of all descriptions. ‘‘De Halve Maen” —The Half Moon —is now' being built in Holland, an exact counterpart of Henrik Hudson’s vessel on which he discovered the Hudson river and sailed up the stream for a considerable distance, in 1609. As nearly as possible, from old drawings and descriptions, the ship is being built and fitted up in every detail to be just like the ship commanded by the Dutch navigator. The ship, when completed, will be placed on the deck of a trans-Atlantic liner to be brought to New York, for the great ships of 300 years ago were such toys, compared to mod erns ships, that it is not deemed wise to attempt to sail it across the ocean. Simultaneously a duplicate of the Clermont is being built on Staten Island. This was the name of Fulton’s steamboat, although the popular name given it while it was building was Fulton’s Folly. But it is his tory now- how on August 17, 1807, almost exactly 200 years after Henrik Hudson had first sailed up the river which now bears his name, the little steamship built hv Robert Fulton sailed over the same course at the then wonderful speed of four miles an hour. In strange contrast with these two spirits of the past will appear Ihe modern ships, for there will be present, to join in this parade some of the finest warships of various nations, as well as ocean and river craft of all descriptions. It will present an impressive and striking ob ject lesson of the progress that has been made in navigation within the past three hundred years. Instead of the little sloop, so small teat it could not now be trusted to sail across the ocean, there are the great 20.000-to n ocean liners and battleships, and 20.000-ton sailing vessels like the great ship Preussen now sailing in the Pacific ocean, and instead of the 4-miles-an-hour baby steamboats there are ocean greyhounds which cross the Atlantic in four days. And with this object lesson in the progress in water navigation will come the thought of aerial navigation. Just one hundred years after the first steamboat was navigated the first flying machine successfully sailed the air. It is true this was only a trial test, and not so much of a flight after all. But the same applies to Hudson's first attempt. And just as fro m the little Clermont has evolved the Mauretania, so out of the little Wright aeroplane, (which demonstrated the possibility of aerial navigation as Fulton's steamboat demonstrated the feasibility of steam water navigation! what may not be expected to follow; If a century hence a celebration in honor of the first flight of an airship be held, as this Hudson-Fulton celebration is to be held this fall, what sort of airships will acc impany the little aeroplane that shall be built in Imitation of the Wright machine? the rope was cut, and the victim, with blood flowing from his mouth and piteously begging for water in his dared condition, was again carried upon the scaffold, and suspended by the neck until death ensued from strangulation after fifteen minutes of torture. This horrible experience should be the weight to turn the scales to de cide the abolishment of the gallows, and the adoption of a more humane method of Inflicting capital punish ment. Several stakes have adopted electrocution, but this is, if anything. more cruel and revolting than hang ing. The electric chair is worse in every respect than the gallows. Death can be brought about by other means, unattended by any revolting circum stances. Such a method should be adopted as the prescribed way of in flloting capital punishment. It has been recommended by Gen. C. A. Evans, one of the state's prison commissioners and one of the most humane of men. Why should not his motion be heartily seconded from all sides? Why should not the plan he suggested be adopted and made the StrWDAT, JULY It.
