A recent editorial on dispensaries and the coni ine election In relation thereto was the cause for this letter. ADd it showed that our correspondent fa!ls to appreciate The Herald's posi tion, Just as he misunderstood the editorial with which he does not agree. A.k to The Herald It is true that It Is published in Augusta, which la located on the Georgia side of the river that forms the dividing line betw.en the two states. And for this reason geographically and techni cally Augusta is a Georgia city. But in fact Augusta is a Georgia-Caro llna city. From the earliest times the population of Augusta has been composed of the people of both states in apparently equal proportion. This condition continues until now. Among our business men are as many Carolinians us Georgians. In our shops and mills as many of the workers are from one,side of the river as from the other. The judge of our.superior court, the mayor of our city and others of our officials are Carolina sons of Augusta. The Herald staff Is composed in part of South Carolinians. There isn't anything in Augusta which doesn’t bear the stamp of South Carolina beside the stamp of Georgia. Augu3t.a is In dei d and in truth a Georgia Ca roilria city, even disregarding the river harrier and extending its growth on Carolina soil In the beautiful und progrt .-live suburb wltft which site has shared her name. And The Herald Is a Georgia C nrolina paper. It devotes as much space to news of one state as it does to The other. it tries by every means in its power to promote the interests of South Carolina as it docs of Georgia. It has as extensive circulation id Carolina as it has In Georgia, am! there are but few papers published within the state which have as large circulation in South Carolina as The Herald. Now as lo lhal editorial on the dispensary and the approaching election. It did not coincide with the views pf our correspondent, who is a prohibit ion Ist, and opposed to dispensaries, and therefore he con demns it. Hut every question has two sides to it, and some of them more, ami before a question is decided it should first he carefully con abb r-d from every standpoint, tor no question fa finally settled* until It is settled right. The prohibition question or how to regulate the liquor traffic is a question that is now engaging the attention ot nearly every state. Laws In relation to it are passed at almost every session of every legislature, and (hey are all different. In some particulars each varies from the rest, which goes to show that, the right way Is not certainly apparent, and there is a probing for It in the dark, as It were. This being true, should not tin qu* slum lie disciished und considered from every standpoint, when tile voters of the various counties are to act on it in a few days? The prohibitionists are good people who sincerely believe that pro hibition is tin proper solution of ihe liquor question. Hut shall not men who believe that dispensaries is the bestt way be given credit for equal sincerity? Where each side is fairly presented for an intelli gent electorate to make decision, that decision may be accepted us the right one. And the right is what we all seek, and which we all desire to prevail. THE DOCTORS DISAGREE. Humiliating on the progress In the world which lie has noticed, probably every mail has some time thought tbut he would like to revisit the earth a hundred years or a thousand years from now, Just to see the chuuges that will have been pro deiced. Of course. Wo think that all changes will be fur the better. Hut if a French, savant, be right hi the Helentllie deductions he has made and just published, that all the chuuges will be for the better Is a mistake, and one change at leaat that is to come will he ,-v> fur from It thut it wi.i tillly reconcile all men now liv lug to the fact thut. they shall not then bo living on the earth. This is that women wtil bo bait beaded. Says this French savant: "It Is one of the laws of nature to discard that for which there Is no use. We were given hair because we needed It. Excepting 'those who lived In caves, men had no roofs. Wo had no hats, and hair was necessary to protect the head Hut now tliHt we have roots and warm houses and hats and cups, hair Is unnecessary. The Increase In baldness cannot be checked. Mankind Is becoming bald In a natural process. Just as the horse dropped all its toes except one becau " it needed only one, so is mttu losing all his heir because he does not need it. The time is near, near front Helene*'* viewpoint of time, when a man with hair will be as rare us a woman with whiskers; mid in a few centuries alter that, the women will bo as bald as the men." Fancy, if you can, what life will be like then" The hutpln will Iran' gone out of style, tor with a head as bald and smooth ns a billiard Lull the dear crctttui'cs would have nothing tu wlnct ro CfWcli a held with these hut holders. If this were all the coming change wouldn't bo so bad, especially as it would muho impossible such fearful work of the milliner's art as the Merry Widow and Teach Basket hula. Also the mw> of tats” would be come obsolete, since there would bo noue of nature's covering for these non tod out monstrosities, and the abominations which obstruct the vi*« of the st ago or rostrum, in appear mice like unto a gram bundle ot traced ami bwtM rope and tow on some sweet gigi's h««d, would be ab sent. This also would be a redeem ing feature. But none of this, nor all of it, would be compensation for the lo** to tuan of the pleasure of ruuumft his tituccu s enough Ids lady love s hair. The 1 love-lorn swain ot that day uuwt be content with *ittlnK beside his Ukiinoratu. and with his arm around her watiw and her head resting against-his shoulder, give veut la bis tjivuou by stroking her bald pate, as b.ve of fur? as the top of a china to* pot. it t« a condition to make one glad that it wa* his tutu to play ltia linn role ou the world's stage now, uud pity his successors whose cue is not to be tflven until that tttue. But pe:' ap» it may not be so bad For almost simultaneously with this From b savaut cotues a German scientist who asserts this is all bosh, and that instead of baldness increas ing it will diminish "There has never been a ttuie." says he. "when iher,- were no bald men, but tile day ts near when baldness will be rare. Scl'M'Hsts have not paid a great deal .01 atteutioji to Investigation of bald- news, jirlncipally because they had not reached the point where they could Investigate intelligently, hut they have now reached thut point and are turning to the subject. fit less than one hundred years from today peo ple will look at a bald head as though It were afreak of nature." Bo there you aro, and who shall decide when doctors disagree? You may pay your money and take your choice. But for the sake of those w'ho are to live then let us hope that, the Frenchman slipped a cog in mak ing Lis deduction, and that the Ger man did not. THE BABY CROP. It apjieurs that Curroilfon is to have a baby show, concerning which the Carrollton Press say*: We believe there will bo many entries lor the finest baby prem iums. Carroll is justly proud of her crop of babies, —us promis ing a crop as can be iouud any where. And the beauty of it all Is. thul continued raius do not at all interfere with the crop. This crop foretokens much so. the fu ture prosperity of the county. Baby shows aro by no mean* rare, and if there, were still more of them it would he even better. We have exhibits of everything that we raise, and in which we take a pride. We have poultry and stock Bbows, agri cultural and industrial exhibits, and these all prove invariably interesting. So also we have baby shows, which are also Interesting especially to mothers, and more to thorn should be held. The baby crop is really the most Important crop raised iu any coun try, and there is a ilauger that iu the pride we take in other crops we will fuil to place the proper value upon the most important. That in which a man takes greatest interest he will try to develop most highly. Notice the chicken fuucier, the man who lias the blue ribbon towls at the chickvu show. Not only does he prepare his fowls with the greatest care for the exhibition, but he cares for them con stantly with imelligoot solicitude, looks after their feed, their roosting place* and everything that concerns them, that they may thrive and bo most perfectly developed. Our baby crop is our most import ant crop. It is the children of a country which constitute its most important asset. They are the hope, of the country; and the greater the number of Hue healthy babies, and the more carefully these an? reared and developed into tbe highest type of mauhood and womanhood, the greater strides forward will tile country make in all things. Everybody recognlaes this, and for this reason a baby show is so attrac tive. What a possibility is opened to the iuiud s eye by a great collection of healthy, bouucmg babies, neaUy dressed by doting mothers, and crow big with iutautiie pleasure! But alas, too much often are these babies neg lected when once they cease to bo babies and enter that stage where they become troublesome chiidreu. It is then that they need greater care than even iu Infancy, if tlie pur pose tie lo dew lop most fully all (ho good qualities that are tu them, and too often is this neglected tti the greater care given to other and less important things. 1h« baby crop Is the most import ant crop of a country, and it should o« most carefully looked a fie:, unit! it la fully matured. THE AUGUSTA HEKALD THE DECKS CLEARED FOR ACTION Abounding Prosperity Seems Assured—Success in Greatest Measure To Him Who is Making Ready. The tariff Is behind us. In many respects it is imperfect, but the agita tion is out of the way and the Am erican people will now adjust them selves to conditions as they exist. That we are entering upon a period of vast business expansion seems to b< beyond question. Consider for a moment the fundamental conditions in the fundamental business —that of agriculture. Unless present crop con ditions materially change it is quite probable that the total value of agri cultural products for 1909 will aggre gate *8,300,000,000 or in the neighbor hood of *500,000,000 more than the lotal of 1908, which was nearly $400,- 000,000 greater than the preceding year. The most remarkable fact iti our business history is this amazing progress in agriculture. The farm ers of this country are enjoying great er prosperity than was ever known before by the agricultural interests of this or any other laud. The value of farm products in 1880, 1890 and 1900, and for each year since 1905 have tfeen as follows: 1880 $2,212,000,000 1890 2,466,000,000 1900 4,717.000,000 1905 6,415,000,000 1906 6,794,000,000 1907 7,412,000,000 1908 7,800,000,000 1909 (estimated) .. 8,300,000,000 In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 the increase in the value of farm pro ducts was so tritiingly small that it only one per cent, a year, or *250,000,000 for ten years, hardly one-half of what the increase in the present year will be over last year. EFFECTS OF GEORGIA'S NON ACTION The New York Tribune is encour aged in its opposition to the sixteenth amendment by the dilatory action of the Georgia senate. The Georgia legislature will adjourn tomorrow without delay and it is plain that if it adjourns without ratifying the amendment the opponents of ratifica tion will be greatly encouraged. The Tribune says the legislatures of the middle and eastern states will meet, as a rule, next January and they will have actod before a western and southern groundswell will be felt. The democrats of Georgia should not lend encouragement to the tax dodgers of the effete east b Y refus ing to act this week on the proposi tion. No one anticipates negative ac tion in Georgia when the matter is taken up, but mere delay will oper ate to strengthen the opponents of a just taxation of the wealth of the country. The newspapers from Maryland to Maine will magnify any delay on the part of ueorgia. They have already begun to predict the defeat of the proposition, citing the non-action in Georgia iu support of their position. A national platform will not stand for much in Georgia is the legislature refuses to ratify the pending propo sition. for the Denver platform says: "We favor an income tax as part of oar revenue system, and wo urge the submission of a constitutioual amend ment specifically authorizing congress to levy and collect a tax upon indi vidual and corporate incomes to the end that wealth may bear Its propor tionate share of the burdens of the federal government” The pending sixteenth amendment meets this par ty demand exactly, and no democrat cipi consistently vote to the contrary, and any delay iu action would be tan tamount to a violation ot this sacred pledge of the party —Birmingham Age- Ilerald. HERALD ECHOES To Convince the Hardheads. The Augusta Herald is certain Georgia is entitled to a little rest from political activity, and then pro ceeds to write a half column political editorial to prove it —Savannah Press. He Did a Plenty Then. According to the Augusta Herald, "Kveu Patten could not hold up the price of flour when the new crop of wheat began to coiue in." But The Herald will admit that Patten suc cessfully held up the consumers of flour until the new wheat crop was harvested.—Jacksonville Times-Union. Keep Scratching; It Pays. A hen in New Jersey the other day Is said to have scratched up SII,OOO worth of jewete. Here is another convincing argument to prove that there it money in keeping hens.—Au gusta Herald. it also proves that it pays to keep scratching.—Anderson Mail. And There Are Others. The Augusta Herald is not favor ably impressed with Georgia's pro hibitory legislation, especially when the same includes wet goods.—Fatr buru News. Good Advice Is Cheap. The esteemed Augusta Herald Bewins disposed to take humorous matters seriously. The Herald should cheer up.—Columbus Enquirer. The Red Shirts and Tillman. "When the Ked Shirts were organ-' Hod. such men as Tillman were their leaders." The Augusta Herald. If our contemporary is referring to Senior Senator B. R. Tillman it had better get some accurate information on the subject.—Columbia State. A Very Good Job. Says the Augusta Herald: "The ex- Shah of Persia is to draw an annual \ pension of $25,000, and he don't have | to dodge bomb throwers. This makes j the Job of ex-3htth decidedly prefer j able to »..c job of Shah."—Savannah I Press. ' I In words, the increase in the value of farm products in one year is | now twice as great as the increase in ten years between 1880 and 1890. Be tween 1890 and 1896 there was very lit’tle progress, but then began a mar velous advance which has continued without abatement ever since; by 1900 the total value was $4,717,000,- 000. Since then the momentum has continued until in the last three years, estimating 1909, the aggregate value of farm products is about $23,- 500,000,000. This is more than twenty tinTes as much as the combined capital of all the national banks in the United States. To this wonderful advance, this amazing growth in wealth. is largely due the quick revival of business from the panic of 1907. It was this con dition that saved us from a long pe riod of great industrial depression, and It is this fundamental condition for marvellous development which as sures an expansion of business much greater than our country has yet seen. Present indications point to the possibility of a corn crop of over 3,- 000,000,000 bushels, possibly 500,000, 000 bushels more than last year. With the high prices ruling for wheat, corn and cotton, abounding prosperity seems to be assured. Wi’th the tariff out of the way; with magnificent crops some harvested and some prac tically assured, the decks have been cleared for action. The winner of the battle for success will be the one who is ready to do business; who makes his readiness known far and wide. The way to do this is to ad vertise, —Manufacturers' Record. NEWS AND VIEWS Selling Cotton for Future Delivery. Now that the cotton farmers are fulling into tHe practice of selling their cotton for future delivery, the opening of the cotton season finds prices well sustained. The Madison Madisonian "says; “Cotton is now nearly 13 cents a pound. Over six thousand bales have already been sold here for faTT delivery at prices rang ing from ten to twelve cents. Much of it sold for 10 cents. Thousands of bales have been sold at other markets of thG country at prices much below the presenj, pfioe.”—BJ acon News. TaVThg Bagging and Ties. We heard a man trying to justify the taxing of the bagging and ties used by our farmers by saying that the tax did not amount to more than 10 cents on a bale of cotton.
