J. 0. T.’S MEETING
ON SATURDAY NIGHT
Interesting’ Session and Talk
Made by Secretary Farrell of
le Chamber of Commerce.
The regular meeting of Council 312,
United Commercial Travelers, was
teld in their lodge rooms on the cor
'd' of Ellis and Jackson streets Sat
urday night. There was a good at
ttdance at the meeting and besides
a short talk from Secretary J. j. Far
rdl of the Chamber of Commerce, and
tie other from a Baltimore traveling
rtan, nothing but routine business
vas transacted.
Mr. Farrell spoke for about ten min
,ues, inviting the IT. C. T.’s to thor
oughly co-operate with the Chamber
o’ Commerce. The T. P. A.’s of this
ctv have agreed to do anything in
their power to help boost Augusta and
it is thought by Mr. Farrell that the
members of the order he addressed
Saturday night will do their share,
too. Mr. Farrell told those present
that they and their lodge as a whole
could he of valuable use to the Cham
ber of Commerce in helping to de
velop .the city. Hi s little talk was re
ceived with much interest. In addi
tion to Mr. Farrell’s talk the gentle
nun from Baltimore said that as he
mast heartily favored the spirit of the
many citizens here m trying to ad
vance t.ie good of the town, but that
as long as he had been doing business
in Augusta he always had the mer
chants to tell him to send their goods
by rail, and never did they say to
ship it by water. The speaker asked
how could the good river Augusta has
at her hand be developed if traffic
on it wasn’t encouraged. His address
was short, but to the point, and it
created some little thought among
the members.

The Above Plans Show a Typical Bed Room Floor in Hotel Estes. The Entire Third, Fourth and Fifth Floors Will be Like the One Above Shown. The
Half of the Second Floor Near to Reynolds Street will also Be of This Type—the Half Near to Broad Street Being Taken Up With the Social Apart
ments For the Lady Guests in the Shape of General and Private Parlors With a Private Dining Room or Two to Accommodate Small Meetings of La
dies Societies and Any Dinings or Other Functions Desired. The Arrangements of the Ground Floor Will Depend Largely On the Wishes of the Lessees.
Mr, Goodrich has prepared plans for This Floor Also, But, of Course, They Are Subject to Change. The First Floor Will Naturally be Taken up With
Lobby, Reading Room, Dining Room, Hotel Offices and the Lower End of the Floor With Offices For Commercial Purposes. It Will be Noticed In the
Above That Every Room is an Outside One, and That Every Room is Also Accessible to a Bath Room. The Rooms Are All Large and Commodious and
Each One Contains a Clothes Closet to Keep the Floor Space From Being Taken up With a Wardrobe and Other Such Furniture, as is the Case in Hotels
of Less Modern Construction Than Hotel Estes Will be.
‘Oyez, Oyez,” Opening of Court
Cry Dates Back to the Conquerer
Heard Every Day in Court in
Augusta but Few Know
Meaning or Where it Origi
nated.
There are a number of quaint ex
pressions in the law. In fact the ex
pressions are little changed from the
old English terms, and there remains
today any number of the Norman
French terms which were used in the
English courts.
It is not known when the first courts
were organized. No more is tt known
when the first trial by jury took place.
Those matters have come down to the
present day by myths and engravings,
but through no certain historical pub
lication which could definitely settle
the question.
From the time, of the coming of
William the Conqueror, 1066, until
comparatively recent days, Norman
French was the language of the courts
In this way has come the court criers'
expression: "Oyez. Oyez.” That term
is used every day in hundreds of
places, only it is generally corrupted
into: “O yes, O yes,” and the crier
believes he is saying “O yes” or some
thing of that effect. Ninety-nine out
of every 100 criers who use the term
are ignorant of its meaning, perhaps
tile same proportion of lawyers Who
hear the term day after day, are
just as ignorant or Its meaning.
Droning voices sound the term, ears
accustomed to the droning voices re
ceive the phrase Bouviers have writ
ten law dictionaries, other eminent
legal authorities have mentioned the
court crier, but the fund of informa
tion as to its origin and first use is
scant. Blackstone only mentions the
criers term in a footnote.
“yez,” meaning hear; do you hear,
comes from the Norman French
“Oyer,” hearing, which verb is a cor
ruption of the Latin verb, Oudire to
hear. With William, the Conqueror,
came his language, hence the presence
of Norman French in the English
courts. Bouvier says: “In order to
attract attention immediately before
he makes proclamation, -the cryer of
the court cries: "Oyez, Oyez,” which is
gem rally pronounced O yes. The
term has simply come down to the Am
erican courts from the English, and
is nothing more nor less than words
used to attract attention. "Attenion
all” would serve he same purpose.
"Oyez” has been used since 1066 and
before, and will continue to be in use
for time to come.
The expression is heard in Augusta
every day in the opening of recorder's
court. It is also used In all the other
courts.

A Good Road to Augusta; Savannah
Wants and Should Have One
Says the Morning News:
The way is open for our county
comlnissioners to help greatly in get
ting a good road to Augusta. Many
of our automobllists, together with
automobilists from other nearby coun
ties, met at Jenks bridge on Wednes
day and talked good roads. It. is un
necessary to say that sentiment was
all one way, namely, In favor of good
roads.
In his speech Mr. Bacon, one of the
commissioners of this county, said
that he was in favor of accepting the
proposition made to the commission
ers of Chatham county some time ago
by the commissioners of Effingham
county, namely, to bear all expenses
of maintenance If the Chatham coun
ty commissioners would, with their
convict force, make a good road
through their c<Hii«*y from cnatham
county line to Jenks bridge. Cannot
Commissioner Bacon convert the other
commissioners of this county to his
views in respect to this matter? If
he can he ought to undertake to do so
at once. With a good road all the
way from Savannah to Jenks bridge
a big beginning will have been made
towards a first class road between Sa
vanah and Augusta.
It ts our understanding that, our
county commissioners turned down
the Effingham proposition some time
ago—-at least they couldn’t see their
way clear then to accept it—but con
dllions may be different now, or at
least may he in the near future. There
fore wouldn’t It be advisable for Com
missioner Bacon to bring the Effing
ham proposition to the attention of his
fellow commissioners again?
As we understand It, if the road
from Chatham county line to Jenks
bridge were paved there would he
only 66 miles of unpaved roads be
tween Savannah and Augusta, and
there would be 7!) miles of paved
roads. Between Jenks bridge and Au
gusta there are sections of paved road.
Between those sections are the tin
paved roads, but if we could get, a
complete paved road from Savannah
to Jenks bridge it would be much
easier to get the unpaved parts of the
road between Jenks bridge and Au
gusta paved.
This matter Is so Important that. It
Is well worth an effort on Commis
sioner Bacon’s part, to get the other
commissioners of this count, to ac
cept the proposition of the commis
sioners of Effingham county. It Is
doubtless true that Chatham’s com
missioners have work enough to keep
the counlys convict force employed
all the time, but in view of the good

tiiat will be done by having good roads
leading out of Savanna., to other
cities and the further fact that the
Effingham proposition will cost this
county nothing except the loss of ts«
mou. of a number of convicts for a
few weeks, it would seem to be the
wise thing to do to accept the proposi
tion of the Effingham county commis
sioners.
