CITY SNUBBED ONE PRESIDENT
HONORED BY TAFT-DIAZ MEET
City Just Across Border
From El Paso for Second
Time Temporary Capital
of Mexico—But Under
Widely Different Cir
cumstances.
CIUDAD JUAREZ—This ig the
second time in history that Ciudad
Juarez has been the temporary capi
tal of the Republic of Mexico, but
under widely different circumstances.
President Unheralded.
In 1866 w'hen Bonito Juarez, consti
tutional president of Mexico, was
driven in defeat before the troops of
Maximillian, self appointed Emperor
of the Mexican people, he took refuge
and established his capital in the lit
tle city that lies across the inter
national boundary stream from Eli
Paso. For almost a year, surrounded
by a small band of half starved, poor
ly clad and almost defenseless pat
riot soldiers, the president of the
Mexican republic waited and hoped
and watched for tne aid that he ex
pected from the United States; there,
after wearying waiting, he finally ral
lied his forces and set out on the
return march to the City of Mexico
that finally resulted in a brilliant
victory at Quaretaro over the emper
or and his foreign troops; the exe
cution of the emperor and the re
establishment of the Mexican repub
lic.
There was no preparation for the
coming of the first president who
made Ciudad Juarez the temporary
capital of Mexico; unheralded and
heartsore from his long journey and
frequent defeats. Bonito Juarez rode
into the little adebe village that was
then known as Paso del Norte, on a
mule. Through its narrow dusty
streets, between low mud houses, the
patriot’ president rode into the little
city and settled down on Plaza Gau
dalupe Hidalgo in the shadow of the
ancient church of the Guadalupe, in
a long, low adobe house, to establish
the capital of what was left of the
Mexican republic.
Ready for Diaz.
It is different today. For months
the preparations have been in pro
gress for the coming President Diaz.
Troops have been arriving daily for
weeks to police the city and serve
as a proper military escort for the
president and his distinguished guest,
the president of the United States.
Emissarios have been arriving from
Mexico City to complete every detail
for the comfort of the president. Ar
chitects decorators, florists, cooks of
reputation, and secret service men
have thronged the little city for
weeks and days, $50,000 alone has
been spent rebuilding the Juarez cus
tom house as a reception room and
banquet hall for the meeting of the
two presidents; a large sum was
spent in the erection of the Grecian
columns down the side of the streets
that the two presidents were to tra
verse; streets were paved, sidewalks
were laid and finally seven florists
from Mexico City, using up a car
load of flowers, put on the last deco
rations a few minutes before the
presidential special train rolled into
the station and the president arrived.
President Diaz on his present visit,
while he is not making his capital
in the same building oocupied by Gen.
Juarez, was a visitor to the old adobe
structure on Commercio street today
and in fact, in company with Presi
dent Taft, he addressed the people of
the border in front of the one time
capital. The building has been re
modeled now and has a new front of
brick. Inside, the mails to and from
the United States are distributed and
workea for it is the post office of
Ciudad Juarez. In front is the same
old cathedral'Of Guadalipe that stood
there when Bonita Juarez rose each
morning and went to mass; the same
old cathedral that was erected in 1549
by the Friars in their march north
ward on their mission for the cross;
as substantial and imposing today as
when erected by those master build
ers over three and one half centuries
ago. This building was also the ob
ject of the visit today of General
Diaz and President Taft.
Banquet Elaborate.
As a fitting culmination of the ex
change of visits between the two
presidents today and in distinct con
trast to the social functions which
attended the stay of President Juarez
In Mexico, when com cake was the
principle article of food for the presi
dential table, is the banquet tonight
in the custom house In Jaurez. For
the preparation of the delicacies for
the occasion. President Diaz sent his
chief steward and chief from Chepul
tepec castle, a man who formerly
served in the same capacity in the
palace of King Alfonso of Spain. The
silver for the occasion is also from
Chepultepec and was brought to
Juarez under special guard. The flow
ers for the decorations came in a
special express car from the City of
Guadalajara and the decorators came
from Mexico City. The carriage in
which the Mexican president and par
ty paid a call on the president of the
United States and in which Mr. Taft
and party returned the visit to Gen
eral Diaz, were shipped from the pres
dentlal stables at Mexico City.
One of the leading features of the
visit of General Diaz to the border,
besides the significance of the ex
change of visits with President Taft
was the laying -V the cornerstone by
the president for the monument
which a grateful nation is erecting
in the border city to Juarez, the pat

MUCH PELLAGRA
EXISTS II COUTH
WASHINGTON.—The extent to
which pellagra exists in the South
is indicated in reports to the public
health and marine hospital service.
The reports, which embrace the
states of North and South Carolina
and Florida, cover in one instance a
period of five years.
A marked increase of pellagra over
the previous years is shown by a re
port from Wilmington, N. C.. but the
type of the disease is much milder
than in former years, three or four
deaths reported as being due to this
cause.
Eight cases of the disease, all of
them fatal, are reported from Beau
fort, S. C.
Surgeon Moorer, at Georgetown, S.
C., reports during the past five years
six cases have come under his ob
servation.
The majority of these cases are ne
groes.
From Jacksonville, Fla., Surgeon
McGinnes reports he finds one case
of suspected pellagra at present in
that city. The patient is from At
lanta, Ga.
No cases are known to have oc
curred this year in Florida.
HU mm BLACK 131
BEGINS II THIS STATE MONDAY
Experts Will Explain Me
thods of Extermination
To Farmers.
(Herald Bureau, Candler Building.)
ATLANTA. —Georgia’s campaign to
eradicate the black root or wilt dis
ease from this state will be undertak
en on Monday, at Eastman, Dodge
county, and will be conducted daily
for forty-six middle Georgia counties
within the next two months. In
speaking of this campaign, Prof. E. L.
Worsham, state entomologist, said:
“We have discovered how it can be
successfully controlled, but this dis
covery will be of little practical value
unless we can get in close touch with
those who are Interested and oStline
In detail methods which they will
have to pursue.
“The last legislature appropriated
SIO,OOO for black root of cotton, and
we want the names of all cotton grow
ers in Georgia whose lands are af
fected with this disease, in order that
we can supply them with some of'the
seed which w« have developed to the
point where they are resistant to
Black Root. If they will co-operate
with us, we can eventually eliminate
black root from Georgia.
"The Mexican cotton bool weevil
will be in Georgia within four to five
years, and it is very necessary for us
to get this disease under control be
fore that time; for two such severe
pests at one time will render cotton
growing unprofitable.
“Speakers at these meetings will
be, Hon. J. L. Lee, president of the
State Farmers’ Union; E. L. Worsham,
state entomologist; Hon. T. G. Hud
son, commissioner of agriculture; R.
L. Nixon, State College of Agriculture,
and we will have with us from time to
time, Hon. Martin Calvin, director of
the Georgia experiment station; E.
Gentry, U. S. department of agricul
ture; Dr. A. N. Soule, president State
Agricultural College; A. C. Lewis, as
sistant state entomologist, and others.
We want every farmer and every one
who is willing to co-operate with us
in this work to be present at these
meetings."
Prof. Worsham estimates the dam
age to the Georgia cotton crop from
this disease this year at over a mil
lion dollars. Not only is the lint de
stroyed, but that most valuable por
tion of the cotton crop, the cotton
seed, is lost. At present the cotton
oil mills are busily engaged in crush
ing the seed, and transforming that
former waste product into cotton seed
oil, which is being used generally for
all table and cooking uses, and into
cotton seed meal, the recognized
cheapest and best cattle feed on the
market today.
The dates for the first division of
these campaign rallies are announced
as follows: Oct. 18, Eastman; 19, Mc-
Rae; 29, Hazleton; 21, Baxley; 22,
Blackshear; 25, Valdosta; 26, Quit
man; 27, Nashville; 28, Tifton; 29,
Fitzgerald and Ocilla; 30, Abeviile and

subscriptions, headed by SIO,OOO by
President Diaz. Appropriately, It is
being erected in the city where the
president rallied his shattered army

the border and almost forced to
flee to the United States aH an asylum

SHERLOCK HOLMES, JF!„ EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE HERE IT MY NOW
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Jr., is ex
pected to arrive in Augusta any day
now and it is safe to predict that
by Monday anyway, the man of mys
tery will be going about freely among
the people, and from then to the fin
ish he will give everyone an equal
chance to win the handsome prize of
$35.00. The exact day of arrival will
be announced by the Augusta Herald,
but Mr. Holmes’ manager states posi
tively that he will not be later than
Monday with a possibility of arrival
some time Sunday. This statement is
based upon the following statement
in a letter from Mr. Holmes to his
manager received today:
“It is my intention to arrive in Au
gusta either Sunday or Monday, but
the chances are that I will not be
able to get to that city before the lat
ter day. Since you have promised
L to announce the day of my arrival, if
necessary, I will telegraph you in
time to have same in paper at least,
the day I arrive; but please, under
no circumstances, announce upon
what road or at what time I will ar
rive or give any other information
that will in anyway be liable to con
flict with my making a proper
‘start.’
“I am enjoying my rest to the
fullest and will be all ready for the
strenuous time you predict is ahead
of me.”
Unless Mr. Holmes finds that he
has been unavoidably delayed The
Herald feels sure of being able to an
nounce his arrival either Sunday or
Monday.
Interest is growing in the man of
mystery, and already Sherlock
Holmes, Jr., is being discussed in
the hotel lobbies and public places
of resort one popular hotel man say
ing that 'he expects to walk off with
that $35.00 twenty-four hours after
the arrival of Mr. Holmes.
BISHOP HENDRIX
HIVES TODAY
Will Re Guest of Presid
ing Elder Fraser. Will
Preach At St. James’and
St. John’s Sunday.
Coming from Savannah where he
has been engaged in Episcopal duties,
the Rev. E. R. Hendrix, the Meth
odist Episcopal bishop who was re
cently appointed to the North Geor
gia conference, will arrive in Augus
ta Saturday afternoon. Bishop Hen
drix is reported to be one of the
greatest preachers in the country,
and while in Augusta he will deliver
two sermons, one at St. James Sun
day morning and the other in the
evening at St. John church. The
two congregations will unite at both
of the services. Tne bishop is to be
entertained while in the city at the
residence of the Rev. B. F. Fraser,
tne presiding elder of this district.
From Augusta where he will look
over the matters of the Methodist
church, Dr. Hendrix will proceed to
other places In the conference and
will later preside at the conference,
which is to be held In Atlanta.
IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE.
ORANGEBURG, S. C—An announce
ment has been received in this city
from Washington stating that the mail
service on the shoo fly train that
leaves here every morning a little be
fore eight will be extended. Hereto
fore the mail car only went as far
as Lanes but now, under the new ar
rangement, It Is to go on through to
Florence and will materially aid the
mail facilities .here for the North.
This change will necessitate the ad
dition of another mall clerk. Mr. J.
T. Dickson has been the efficient mail
clerk ever since the run was inaugur
ated several years ago. Mr. J. R,
Meggs is to be the new clerk.
A good many questions have been
asked in regard to the proper manner
to catch the man of mystery, and
what is meant by the “last issue of
the Augusta Herald.”
To properly catch Mr. Holmes, any
issue of the Augusta Herald of the
day Mr. Holmes is caught will answer
the purpose, and not necessartally
the “last issue.” If Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., Is properly approached, say, on
a Wednesday, he will not acknowl
edge his Identity unless the person
addressing him holds In his or her
hand the Issue of the Augusta Herald
for that day—Wednesday. Not neces
sarially the last issue, put any issue
for that day.
“You are the mysterious Mr. Sher
lock Holmes, Jr., of the Augusta
Herald.”
That Is the phrase and those words
and those only. Just as they are given
there.
Remember This.
Should Sherlock Holmes, Jr., go
the liimt of time without ’identifica
tion, his photograph, previously un
der seal in the bank vault, will bo
posted upon the bank window while
Mr. Holmes is at large upon the
street, and the first man, woman or
child reaching him after seeing his
picture will be awarded the prize of
$35.00.
As before Btated, the money will
positively be given to some one be
fore Mr. Holmes leaves Augusta.
Many questions are being asked by
those anxious for more information in
regard to Mr. Holmes, but nothing
can be told that will in even the
slightest degree aid anyone in cap
turing the prize. The utmost secrecy
will be observed by the business
manager of the Augusta Herald and
this contest will be equally fair for
all.
Sherlock Holmes, Jr., will soon be
with you.

wise permitted the American military to
escort President Taft to the Mexican end
of the bridge.
President Diaz was saluted with 21
guns upon his arrival upon American soil.
President Taft wore a black frock coat,
while President Diaz was garbed in a full
gold-bedecked uniform. President Taft re

TALKS ON ADVERTISING
NO. SEVENTEEN
Teamwork—A Sales Manager to his Salesmen
(BY H. M. POST.)
Fiver sit on the bleachers or In the]
grand stand and think what makes a ball
game Interesting?
Ever notice what the fellows around
you talk about most?
Ty Cobb’s average? Johnny Kllng’s
throw to second? Mordecat Brown’s
great lnshoot? Malty's superb pitching?
They’re all discussed; but when the game
ts on there Is Just one thing they all talk
about TBAMWOHK.
A man with a hatting average of .509
couldn’t win the game ALONE, and peer
less pitching Isn’t going to win a game
without SUPPORT, for It's In the records
where a man who pitched a "no-hlt” t
game hait out on a daisy clipper fumbled
by the second baseman.
They're spectacular, these .1153 hatting
averages, and nipping throws to second,
but they don’t win games ALONE.
It’s TEAMWORK that wins on the
baseball diamond and It’s TEAMWORK
that wins In selling anything
It’s the men who know how to play the
game together who carry away the pen
nants, every time.
It’s teamwork wo have to have right
here In this house. Kt.nr players are nil
right. We have a lot of them, and we’re
proud of them. But the stars alone don’t
win In the athletic world, and they don’t
win In the commercial world.
They must be backed up all the time
by everyone In the house.
Tills wins.
It doesn’t make any difference what
you are -salesman or stockman, packer
or department head—you’re In the game.
That’s the point. And If you're In It
with determination, and grit, and enthus.
lasm, nnd take half as much Interest In
It. as you do In Wagner's hatting aver
age, the teamwork of our company Is
going to be Just that much nearer tht
winning point.

PinSBBTG HAS
CHOIS IN CUTES
Thirty Thousand Del
egates Attend Big Chris
tian Church Convention.
(By Rev. P. H. Mears.)
PITTSBURG, Pa.—The national
convention of the Christian church,
being held in Pittsburg this week, Is
perhaps the largest religious gathering
of modern times.
Tuesday night it vjis announced at
one of the meetings in the Carnegie
music hall that already more than 20,-
000 delegates had arrived, and they
are still coming by tho thousands. It
is believed that the delegation will
reach 30,000 or more by the end of the
week.
This Is a great week in Pittsburg,
all around. The Christian convention
baseball, the I’ittsbirg District Fair
and Italian celebration are the main
attractions.
Il Is said that this city, with her
600,000 people, has never before had
a greater week, but the convention is
bringing more people from afar than
all the other atractlons. Our God la
being honored as perhaps never be
fore on a like occasion.
SMALL FIRE ON
HOPKINS STREET
A small fire occurred at 11 o’clock
Saturday morning at No. 955 Hopkins
street. The fire was caused by
sparks on the shingle room and dam
aged the property to the extent of
about five dollars. The house was
owned by Mr. Jerry Flynn and was
occupied by Mattie Brown, colored.
What Is teamwork?
It’s pulling together every minute.
That's all.
i
It’s not only knowing what will ad
vance the score hut it’s doing It, and lt'e
doing It In u big, wholehearted, enthusi
astic way. It’s well, it's being on the
Job every minute. It’s knowing what to
do and how to do It, and most of all it’s
feeling certain that, the other follows In
(the team nre Just as enthusiastic. Just
as confident and Just as capable of com
pleting the play you start.
And here’s another point :
You want to remember that nlnth-ln
nlng rallies have won many a game. If
] another fellow has spoiled a sale, or crat
ed the goods wrongly, and the manager
sends you In to save the day, do the best
you ran. Just grit your teeth and say to
jyourself that you're going to stick until
the last ’’out" Is made. It’s wonderful
what It will do. It’s wonderful the games
It wins.
And how Important every player IS
the game Is. even to the hat boy. That’s
where a lot of us fall down. We forget
lhat we are absolutely necessary to the
teamwork—as essential as the star first
baseman.
Now about the error column:
A team to ho a winner has to have a
