THE HERALD’S PARTY WILL TOUR EUROPE
THIS SUMMER AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF
INTEREST TO YOU
The Herald makes an interesting announce
ment in this issue—an announcement that we hope
will be of great personal interest to you. The an
nouncement speaks for itself and we want you to
read every word of it.
The Herald proposes to send a party of 15 of its
lady readers on an Kuropean tour this summer, with
all expenses paid, and every detail arranged tor
their comfort:. In addition there will be a special
chaperone for the party to lie selected by the mem
bers themselves, and while abroad tin* party will
have the special service of an experienced and re
liable guide who will travel with the party and per
sonally conduct The Herald’s tour and look after the
comfort of The Herald's guests.
We call your special attention to the letter of
Took & Son, acknowledging receipt of The Heralds
contract and cheque covering the tour, specifying the
boats and sailing points and making steamer reserva
tions of outside staterooms for the use of The Her
ald party. They also state that one of' their most re
liable and experienced guides will be assigned to
travel with The Herald’s party and that every
courtesy and accommodation that long experience
and extensive facilities afford will be extended The
Herald’s guests.
Frankly, we hope this announcement will inter
est a great many of The Herald’s readers. It of
fers a chance, possibly the only chance of a life
time to many Herald readers to see six countries of
the old world, to see many historic cities. The Her
ald’s tour will mean the Host and cheapest and yet
most worth while summer vacation you ever spent.
Head carefully the details of this great offer and an
nouncement of Tin* Herald’s and see if you do not
agree with us that it will be worth while to take
such a trip this summer. We know the trip is worth
while to any Herald reader, from an educational
standpoint, from the standpoint of rest and recrea
tion and travel. We would like to send every reader
of The Herald on such a trip for the good it would
do them, and the good it would do the community
in whicli they live. To live better, to do better, to
work better, we must learn more, improve ourselves;
wo must read and travel.
With every detail arranged, with the tour prop
erly chaperoned, and with a reliable and experienced
guide to travel with The Herald party, there is
nothing for the members of The Herald party to do
but to devote themselves to the pleasures of the
trip.‘Every detail and care and worry usually in
cident to such a trip will he taken off the mindsand
hands of The Herald party and will be handled by
capable and competent people.
If you want a vacation and rest this summer that
is both worth while and without financial expense
to you, make up your mind to he a member of The
Herald’s party. The Herald will lie glad to have you
go as its guest. And the beauty of tho whole mat
ter lies in tho fact that von can go if you want to go.
There will he 15 in the party.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN REAL ESTATE?
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT
SUGGESTIONS
The Herald Ims asked a number of the real es
tate men of Augusta for a frank expression of the
real estate situation of the city. Here are some of
the suggestions brought out by men who are dealing
in real estate and who know the situation.
One of Augusta’s most prominent agents says:
hi my opinion the most important thing in the
real estate situation in Augusta is the uniting of Au
gusta and Summerville. ’This union of the two places
is very important for the development of suburban
property, where the people will more and more wish
to live. It will enable streets to ho opened up and
connected, bring about a comprehensive system of
sewerage, water mains, etc., and make desirable for
residence purposes a great deal of land that is not
now available, besides enhancing the value of all
Summerville and Monte Sano real estate.
Secondly, it is important to discuss and bring
about an extension of the street car system into ter
ritory which needs car service and doesn’t have it.
The city is suffering greatly for the lack of adequate
lines and real estate development is being hurt for
the lack of them. An improvement of the present
service, giving better cars, prompter schedules, etc.,
would help everything in the city as well as real es
tate.
Thirdly, the contemplated boulevard, or a well
planned boulevard, would help real estate and ex
tend the limits to which people would go for residence
purposes. This would help the city generally, giving
to home people and strangers an attractive drive of
good lenth. When it is built, though, it should he
located by a good engineer without regal'd to private
interests.
Fourthly, we should discuss a street revision
commission. General Oglethorpe laid out beautifully
the older portion of Augusta—it is a monument to
him and tho admiration of visitors. But the newer
portion of Augusta is mostly horribly ugly. New
streets have been cut, to a large extent regardless of
any attractiveness in plan, being generally narrow,
crooked and short. These narrow streets should be
broadened as soon as possible, while land is cheap iu
THE AUGUSTA HERAL.Q, AUGUSTA, GA.
the newer section; the crooked streets should be
straightened as far as practicable, and the short
streets, that from nowhere and run nowhere,
you may say, should be extended. All that portion
of the city will be an important part some day and
now is the time to plan it properly, as Hen. Ogle
thorpe did for us a hundred and fifty years ago.
What do you think about these ideas? The Her
ald will he glad to know and to print your views. We
believe that these suggestions are vital and.. im
portant.
AUGUSTA MUST DEVELOP ITS RIVER TRAF
FIG
With his Usual characteristic energy, Mr. Weems
A. Smith has taken hold of the boat line on the river
and has already made wonderful progress toward
getting it upon a paying basis. But to accomplish
the desired end he needs mone business more
freight in and out of Augusta.
And this is written with the intention of calling
the attention of all Augustans to what the develop
ment of the river traffic means to Augusta. For, as
matters stand, the city has the worst of the situation
in regard to rates, when comparison is made with
flic ports. The railroads are not blamed for the con
ditions have grown out of a competition for business
by them in a perfectly legitimate and proper way.
But in .the resultant fixing of rates Augusta has suf
fered.
For instance, the rate on sugar from Charleston
to Tennille is the same as from Augusta to Tennille.
though we are fnanv miles closer. Again, the rate on
compound lard from Savannah to McCormick is very
little more than from Augusta to McCormick. These
are two instances of many that show the necessity of
doing something that vill bring about lower rates.
And that something is to develop river traffic to the
point where the boats will have to be increased in
number and the business made to pay. Mr. Smith is
not receiving any compensation and is serving as
president of the company in a patriotic manner. For
this reason, as well as for his well known ability and
business acumen, it is incumbent upon our business
men to give him a hearing, and careful consideration
to what he has to say.
The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
after nearly two months tenure of office, is of the
opinion and even eonvietion that it will not be pos
sible to do much toward bringing new industries here
until better rates are secured.
And the river is the logical lever for moving the
mountain of difficulty that stands in the way of
civic progress. With coal rates and freight rates at
their present altitude, say these gentlemen, but very
little can be accomplished. The development of the
river is the first big work to be done by the 1920
Club.
Aud the whole matter can be worked out with
out trouble to the citizens generally if only the large
shippers and receivers of freights will use the boat
line. Send all your freight by the boats and order all
that you get sent that way where possible. M r. Smith
is not only desirous of getting enough for his pres
ent boats to handle, but enough for half a dozen
more boats. He has arranged for the handling
profitably of all freights entrusted to his line, even
though it exceed present carrying capacity, so there
need be no fear of delay.
It is asked that you think this over: By helping
the boat line, you lose nothing at present and ulti
mately will gain much through lower rates secured
through the instrumentality of the river.
If you are not convinced, write, phone, or call
upon President Smith. lie has a mass of data that
will convince fair-minded men. Talk it over with him.
THE DEATH OF CAPtTbILLY THOMPSON
The death of Capt. Billy Thompson, who was
shot and killed by a couple of negroes while on duty
as conductor on the Georgia railroad early Friday
morning, will bring wide-felt sorrow to many thous
ands of people in Augusta, alon’g the line of the
Georgia railroad and throughout the state of Geor
gia. There were few, if any, more conscientious,
hard-working, fearless men in the employ of any
public service corporation than the late Capt. W. W.
Thompson, and his record of over a quarter of a
century of active and satisfactory service in the em
ploy of the Georgia railroad is one that any man
should feel proud of.
In his duty to the railroad and in his care of his
passengers and the traveling public, Capt. Thompson
was equally zealous. For years the night express on
the Georgia road, leaving Augusta and Atlanta
about mid-night, had a bad reputation. Drunks and
disorder and danger marked these runs. Capt.
Thompson and the other conductors on these runs
did a brave and fearless work night after night in
the protection of the lives of the traveling public. It
is particularly sad that after all these years of
brave and fearless work, and when in large measure
his work had been so faithfully done that he
should have been shot down by negro criminals.
Peace bath her heroes, no less than war, and
for many years Billy Thompson has done a man's
work in a quiet, brave and fearless way in the life
of the people of this state. And his death, sad and
sudden and regrettable as it was, caused by drunken
or criminal negroes, yet occurred in the line of
his duty to his company and to the public.
Georgians who knew him and who knew of his
work will not fail to speak a kindly word and pay
tribute to the memory of Billy Thompson.
