And the curbstone orators had their

And the curbstone orators had their
innings yesterday.
The shoppers had their time.
The orators and the shoppers were
all one, for they were attracted into
the city by the First Annual Chal-
lenge Sale of Augusta.
The oratory was caused by men and
women who discussed among tnem-
selves the merits OF various window
displays. After settling the matler TO
then own satisfaction, they deposited
their ballots III the Lnamuer OIL Com
merce ballot boxes with the firm con-
vlcLIon tnat they knew which was
the most original advertising window
and which one ought to be awarded
the Chamber of Commerce cup for
lnat reason.
This uniquely conducted contest
will end when the stores ciose this al
ternoon. Every shopper has the right
to one vote to decide, or help decide,
which is the most original advertising
window in the city. TO the lirm or in
dividual that receives the largest
number of votes will be awarded the
silver cup.
There were more people on the
streets of Augusta yesterday, for all
1t is an off season" for shopping,
than have been seen here in many,
many days They were attracted by
the unusually good bargains offered
for the Challenge Sale. But the num-
Der here yesterday will be only a
small portion of the hundreds that
will come into town today. Some of
the merchants ran out of their par
| ticular kinds of goods and sent in hur-
ried orders for more that will be re-
ceived in time for the sale today One
man said: We've got more than we
can attend to-
In some of the stores, the crowds
were so great that it seemed as if the
doors might have to be closed to al
upon. All the merchants reported a
1ourishing business.
But the best feature of all noticed
about the first day of the Challenge
sale was the camaradie of the shop
pers. Everyone was good natured and
acquaintance were renewed after
several months of parting. Women
with bundles, men with bundles and
children with bundles were thronging
the streets. Some men fairly groaned
under the load of goods they carried.
Yet nobody had a word of regret or
complaint to offer, for the bargains
were such good ones that everybody
was ''tickled pink to think that the
merchants of the city and the Au-
gusta Chamber of Commerce had Civ
en- them this opportunity to get ac-
quainted with the city and what it
has to offer.
Today, Opportunity Day, will be the
last of the sale, but it will be followed
by number of Saturday special Of
ferings that will bring additional REQ
pie into town. If the remarkable
weather of yesterday continues to
hold, then today will see the streets
so damned that it will seem as if the
holidays have returned.

SIM FEN CABINET
MEETS TODAY

Dublin. Dec. S.-The first SHOW
down" on the Anglo-lrlsh peace treaty
came today when the Sim Fein cab
!ret met here to consider ratification
of the agreement.
There were hints of opposition by
Sim Fein irreconcilables who demand
republic and absolute separation
from the British Empire, but cabinet
members said they expected final
agreement on the pact.
The general attitude Of the common
people in Ireland is one of resignation.
They believe the matter is in the
hands of the Dali Eireann and the
British Parliament and they are con-
tent to await the decision of the two
bodies.
