Augusta Unions Demand Removal of
Police?Aiken-Augusta Trolley
Strike Threatening.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 25.?A commit
tee, composed 01 one representative ui
each organized crafi affiliated with the
Augusta Federation of Trades, was
named at an open meeting of the Federation
tonight to call on Mayor BarTett
and Chief of Police Elliott tomorrow
and demand that the policemen
f detailed on the street cars being operated
toy the Augusta-Aiken Railway
and Electric Corporation be taken off.
In a packed meeting the labor people
^oted unanimously to declare a general
sympathetic strike throughout the
city the following day if the municipal
authorities decline to remove the policemen;
provided the several locals
vote to sustain the action of the Federation.
That this will be done is
hardly to be questioned after the meeting
tonight.
Immediately following the labor
meeting there was a demonstration
down Broad street and back, in tne
shape of a march of the strike sym1
pathizers.
Mayor Barrett stated tonight, when
informed of the action of the labor
meeting, that, while he deplored the
situation, he could but reassert his
. former position, that it is the duty of
the city of Augusta to protect life and
property of its citizens and enter
prises. This clearly means that the
policemen are not to be taken from the
cars.
Rlease to Help End Strike.
Columbia, Sept. 25.?Mr. R. H. Welch
p held a conference here this afternoon
> with Governor Blease, on the strike of
the Aiken-Augusta trolley men. When
! asked tonight about the matter the
governor said that no request had
been made on him for protection by
the Aiken-Augusta officials, but that
Mr. Welch held the conference with
him simply to talk over the matter
and to get the governor to use his influence
towards bringing the strike to
an end. The governor did not take
any action as governor, but wired
some of his friends along the line at
Bath and Langley and .other places on
the road, and asked them to use their
influence to bring the matter to an
end and to get xhe trouble settled.
Governor Blease telegraphed the
sheriff of Aiken county to do what he
could to end the strike without taking
sides m the matter, and to see "that
lives and property were protected.
The governor is using his influence to
bring about a peaceable adjustment of

that the people along the line of this
road are law-abiding citizens and he
feels assured that there -will be no
acts of violence or disorder, but that
he is using his individual and personal
influence to end the trouble.

eighth additional day known as the
Eighth Day of "Conclusion, 'SuceothY'
? the Jewish "Festival of Tabernacles,"
described in the Bible also as the
"Hag Haasiph," "Festival of Ingathering,"
will be observed.
Both these names are significant as
suggestive of the dual character and
meaning of the Festival?the one as
historic, recalling the type of struc
ture, the portable booth or tabernacle,
hastily constructed of the twiggs
and branches of trees, in which the
ancient Israelites dwelt in their wanderings
through the wilderness after
the exodus from Egypt, and the other,
plainly agricultural, carrying with it
> the thought of the harvest and all the
sentiment of joy and thankfulness associated
therewith. In either name or
meaning, however, the idea remains
prominent to the Jewish mind of the
providence and protection of God. The
tabernacle is the symbol of protection.
Sheltered in tabernacles in those early
days as Israel was, so the members
of the faith are today reminded of the
watchful care of God through all try>
ing and difficult experiences.

THE NEW MAIN FAIR BUILDING j
GROUNDS WILL BE A GREAT
MENTS WILL BE LA f
i
When the thousands of patrons of
the Georgia-Carolina fair come to Augusta
next November they will witness
quite a different looking place.
! Instead of the present familiar main
! 'building with a United States flag
j floating proudly from a staff on the
| top, it being seen first, they will see
: a new and modem main building directly
in front of, or, to the south of
the present one.
The tremendous growth in popularity
of the Georgia-Carolina fair during
the past few years is the cause of the
new main building being decided upon.
The fair has simply outgrown its
I quarters ana tne Doaru ui m.cuuio
I saw that the only thing to do was
j to enlarge them. This new exhibition
Hail is being duiii aiong nu.es proposed
by President James U. Jackson
; who conceived the idea of having a
main fair building and auditorium all
| in one. When not used as a place
I to exhibit agriculture, horticulture,
! mechanical devices, etc., during a
i fair, the building will be used for conI
vention purposes and will have a
| much larger seating capacity than
I any other building in this city or
j section.
{ Among the many improvements
being made is a handsome new entrance
to the grounds where the secretary's
office, committee rooms and
waiting room, will be located. The
grounds are being beautified in every
wav and the midways which will af
ford the best accommodations will be
built between the main and live stock
| buildings; in fact, all other improve!
-ments for the convenience and pleasI
ure of our fair patrons are being
j made. The grounds and entrance
I will be elaborately illuminated with
i electric lights, an attraction in itself.

New York, September 25.?Before a

the Giant's baseball team, rooters for
both the National and American Leagwes
and regular attendants of his
church, the Rev Reisner, pastor of
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
West 104th street, near Broadway,
Sunday declared that were St Paul alive
to-day he would be a baseball fan.
Dr Reisner said St Paul was interested
in all the athletic sports of his day
and used them as illustrations to, carry
hig truth.
Dr Reisner, who is an ardent basehall
enthusiast, mixed baseball phrases
with passages from the Bible, and
the ball players present were convinced
that something like baseball must
have been played in St Paul's time.
"Joe Tinker, the Cubs' famous shortstop,

Method for Determining Yield on Boys'
Corn Club Acres.
Each year about time to gather corn,
quite a number of the boys of the Boys
Corn club write to this office for information
as to the method to be used in j
measuring their land and corn. Many
boys who do not write go ahead and
gather their corn, but make very inaccurate
measurements of both corn
and land. The method used is as follows:
Weigh every bit of the corn in
the shuck. After the total weight is
found weigh two lots of 100 pounds
each from different parts of the total.
Shuck and shell these two lots and
weigh the shelled corn m oraer to nna
the average percentage of shelled
corn. Multiply the total weight by this
percentage and divide by 56 in order
to get the total number of bushels.

necessary to uave uic kwu
