Forget Had Given 1T Up.

Even as late as Monday afternoon the
French line agent. MIR. Forget. 10 his in
timate friends had given up the last YES
tige of hope he had concerning Ia Gas
cogne. But three hours later there came
a rift in the black cloud of despair, and
the brief message that La Gascogne was
sighted off Fire Island sent thrill of joy
through every heart in New York The
bulletins told the story with exasperating
trieiness and Lack of detail. But il was
the fact of safety alone that the people
crayed. and this made all rejoice Agent
Forget for Il moment WAS rendered
speechless which evidenced how anxious
he had been for the safety of la Gas
cognc. Then he regained himself and
became wildly hilarious. He shouted.
ran here and there. grasping the hand of
this one and that one. and fairly jumped
up and down over the floor in the excite
ment of the moment. Then he put on his
coat and started for the French line pier
at the foot of Morton street. where n tug
had been in readiness for days to take
hm to meet La Gascogne should il be
sighted.
The story of the captains of the two
steamers that had ovcrhauled La Gas
cogHe off the Long Island coast added
nothing 10 the sum of knowledge of the
awful voyage of the Frenchman The
Washington is tank steamer of the
Rotterdam Tank Line. The Frenchman.
the Captain says, was moving at about
eight knots an hour. The Washington.
itself slow steamer, came opposite La
Gascognc. but as no signals were dis
played. and having no knowledge that il
was overdue he staid on his course like
any good skipper would bound for New
York in such weather and after such
gales.
Can Get i'm Alone.
a couple of hours later up came the Ro-
livia of the Anchor line from Gibraltar.
Jan. 23, itself with a long and tedious
passage to its credit, and it also gave n
critical eye TO the slowgoin express
steamer Then La Gascogne was near
enough TO Fire Island TO make itself
known. and had up its flag numbers and
three red balls as well. The Boliyia's
captain saw at glance his services were
not needed. The signal was to tell the
observer at Fire Island that the machin-
cry was disabled. but that the steamer
needed no Assistance.

Y. M. C. A. Meetinqs.

To one who has attended some of the
meetings held in our city during the
past weeks, it seems that they are worthy
of more than the regular notice
In the past, efforts have been made for
special religious services in Augusta
sometimes at the Y. M c. A. rooms, again
at the Methodist church, and during the
past year at the Baptist church, Friends
chapel. Always an interest has been
awakened and some conversions have
occurred The meetings now in progress
are different in conception, in develop
ment, and we believe are to be in consum-
nation from any that our city has ever
known. With no formal agreement,
church members Of all denominations are
interested and constantly growing more
So as the meetings continue
No noted singer or singers are adver-
tised, but from all the churches those
whose hearts are so full Of Gods love that
they can not help singing about 1t, rally

with the spirit and with the understand

And what of the preacher! Words fail
us. oh, that every one in our city, men,
women and children might listen to the
voice of this one, so manifestly sent OF
| God to us. Praise is mockery. Flattery
| or adulation of such a person would be
sickcning and annoying indeed.

victiou, increasing at every service IN al

two weeks sgo-now well beloved by
hundreds His acquaintance, however,
can not be made part from the meet
ings, for, refusing all invitations by his
friends to entertain, he spends the time
between meetings alone with his God.
Yet he is in the truest sense II man
among men, gentle, courteous, strong
and brotherly. With no attempt at argu-
ment or the putting forward of his own
opinions, he takes simply the word of
God as it reads, and tenderly but posi-
lively, carefully but convincingly, sends
home the truth to the hearts of his
hearers.

our own law makers, city noted for its
social distinctions and men Of nobility Is

sage from the great law giver, in the
person of this evangelist.
On Sunday afternoon every man and
woman in our city may hear it. Today
is ours. Tomorrow may never come; life
is short; eternity is long. Is the Bible
true? If so where will you spend eternity?
This opportunity must be the turning
point in many lives in Augusta. IF they

on earth, much more shall not we escape
if we refuse him that speaketh from

ger to us now.

A Beverage for Wheelmen

Next to being lost at sea there is nothing
that brings on the pangs of thirst quicker
than bicycle riding. The hot sun and the
constant inhalation of dust quickly parches
the throat and makes the biker long for
the next stop for refreshments. The wise
rider avoids ice water, well knowing its
danger. Alcoholic beverages are likewise
tabooed because of their heating propensities
and there is little satisfaction in wishy-washy
stuff sold under the broad classilcati of
"soft drinks" a well known wheemap, in
speaking of this, said
"What is to drink is no easy problem to
man on a long hot run. The only drink l
know fit for bicycler rider is Hires Rootbeer
carbonated. There are but few places now
at which it cannot be had. and I tell you it
braces one right up, seems to 60 right down
to the bottom of your pedal workers. 1t is
cooling and refreshing, quickly lowering
your temperature and fully satisfying your
thirst | tell you there's nothing like ii,
and I've sworn Off all other drinks when on
the road" Hires Rootbeer, carbonated, is
made from the famous Hires Rootbeer
extract by the same formula, without adulter-
alton of any kind. Besides being delicious it
possesses many medicinal qualities, make it
as popular with wheelmee and pedestrians as
the good home made Hires Rootbeer is with
the folks at home.
