badly burned on both legs, which
were so drawn out of shape that
he could not even crawl. I tried
many remedies without relief, but
finally Hamlins Wizard Oil made
a perfect cure, and he can now

is an assured tact that the Grand

Jones" by its long run of 22 weeks
in New York and over three months
in Chicago, with the important en
gagements in Boston. Philadelphia,
Washington, Baltimore and St. Louis,
and all the leading cities last season,
firmly established itself as one of the
most notable attractions in America.
It is described as one of the crispest,
snappiest and brightest musical com
edies this country has witnessed for
several years. It is said to be su-
I erlor to the majority of its kind in
that it has more of a story than have
'they. There is quite a hint of m’l>
drama in certain of the situations
and these moments of seriousness, but
heighten the effectiveness of the
breezy comedy that follows. The 20
musical numbers composed by the au
thor of the play, George M. Cohan,
grew out. of the situations. Thus the
play takes on a consistency and unity
which are usually wanting in the av
erage musical comedy. The produc
tion is sumptuously mounted, while
the cast and chorus numbers over
60 people and is one of the largest
and most expensive organizations on
tour this season.

Augusta Girl in “School Girl."
Manager Comstock, of “The School
Girl," the big 1-aindon-New York mu
sical comedy, has as many troubles as
the average impressario of famous
divas. He Is .lust now In the throe*
of an argument with two young laflv
members of "The School Girl” chorus,
who have not as yet progressed' so
far in their stage ambitions as to
warrant a place in the spot-light, all
by themselves. The young ladies in
question hail from Atlanta and Au
gusta. respectively, but because of
their family connections twho are bp
posed to the stage as a career for
the young ladies) they want to pass
into temporary retirement until "The
School Girl" company passes thfough
the cities of Atlanta and Augusta
This the management declined to per
mit. notwithstanding the fart that the
young ladles threatened to hand in
their resignation in the event they
were not allowed to do so.
Aecording to a wire received here
last night by Agent Frank O. Miller,
of “The School Girl" company, the
matter has been adjusted by com
promise. The ladies in question are
to appear in one of the rear rows of
the chorus, hut their names are not
to he used in the newspapers or on
the program. A perplexing situation
would arise should Miss Carrie Ftey.
nolds. the prims donna, suddenly take
sick, as the Augusta young lady is the
understudy for the role and would he
forced to appear under those clrcum
stances. The matter, however, re
solves itself into a guessing eontest,
with the identity of the young lady
from Augusta as the perplexing prob
lem.
"The School Girl" will be at the
Grand January 24. Prices, $1.50 to
25 cents.

will be seen at the Grand next Thurs

acteristic opera abounds in pictures
que scenes, the Texas locale giving
abundant opportunity for richness of
coloring in thp costuming of the Mex
icans and senoritas, the rangers and
cowboys and girls, and the seminary
visitors. The music Is swinging and
tuneful, while the comedy is of a
variety that has caused critics to call
“The Tenderfoot” the funniest of all
comic operas. Mr. Flgman in the title
role is said to be delightful, with
his quaint humor, and dancing. Miss

The Play Last Night
When an amateur play la good. It lai
thorough!' - good In fact, there ia
nothing else to compare with it.
Now Augusta la eo fortunate tn
nothing clae aa in her wealth of atna -j
teur talent, and thla waa moat de
lightfully combined, last night, to pro
dure a charming performance, onr
that was moat enthusiastically re
ceived by a tremendous audience.
The enacmhlc was fine, as Indeed
| it could not. help being with a wall
trained chorus of a hundred odd
/voices, and with acveral hundred I
magnificently drilled children. It was
because everything waa ao well demw
as well as because there was the
question of the principals' personality
that It was pronounced the moat In- •
terestlng amateur performance that
| had been given here In a number of
years.
The name part' was most admir
ably sustained by Mr. Jack Young,
who is winning quite an enviable
reputation as an Impersonator of ec
centric roles, and who is always ac
corded an enthusiastic reception.
It. goes without saying that Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Plnt.t, to whom belongs
the credit for the success of more
than one production of this kind, were
excellent In their respective roles of
the “Wizard" and "Madame De Wil
lard." The effort of these gifted sing
ers and actors were ably seconded
by those of Mr. Henry Raworth as
"Santbo," Mr. Matthews as “Profes
sor Phiz." Mr. Joe Mulherin as "Rich
nrd" and Mr. Pendleton as "Captain
Murray. ”
The women, as usual, came In for
a big share of the praise. Miss Ella
Jowett was a winning little country
girl, and Miss Elizabeth Yarborough
was graceful and pretty as the fav
orite school girl, while Miss Alma
Broadhurst won most glowing praise
for her rendition of the part of "He
len." Miss Mena Mtilherin's lovely
voice was heard to good effect in the
songs of the Indian maiden.
Miss Alice Doyle, who presided at
the piano, displayed much skill and
has received many compliments on
her musical ability. Miss Doyle is an
accomplished musician.
The whole performance gave such
thorough satisfaction that there is
every reason to expect a big house to
night, and another for tomorrow’s
matinee, and still greater reason to
congratulate the Knights of Columbus
under whose auspices the musical ex
travaganza was given, upon its un
doubtedly brilliant financial success.

cents.

for the purpose of considering com

much annoyance to the loeal trade.
A resolution was passed requiring

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. IS.—
Chief Engineer of Construction Wells,
of the Southern railway, awnrded a
contract here today for the construc
tion of the Johnson City railroad, a
coal road, which will run from Em
breevllle. Tenn., to Marion, N. C.
The Southern has been practically
forced to build tills line proposed by ,
the construction of the South sndj
Western railroad along the WaiUa'ig.ii
river into the Carollnas. The iiaw
road will he about 00 miles long and
will have many tunnels It will save
the Southern a hauling of about 70
miles, the road now hauling all cos; 1
finm the Virglna fields Into the Caro ,
llnas by way of Morristown.
Thp growth of the south is prohabrv
in no way better Illustrated that by
statistics of the railroad business of
that section. Taking the ton mileage
of the United States for a period of
years, we have the following
1882—United States, 39,302,209,249
tonß; South Atlantic States, 1.152,201,
588 tons; Gulf and Mississippi Val
ley States. 894,181,.792 tons
1890 United States, 79,192,985,125
tons; South Atlantic States, 7.921,
778,157 tons; Gulf and Mississippi
Valley States, 7,618.298,877 tons
1900 United States, 111.102.109.41 ft
tons; South Atlantic States, 10,598,-
790.262 tons; Gulf and Mississippi
Valley States. 5,709,012,878
1904 United States, 177,017,762.170
tons; South Atlantic States, 17,904,-
627,677 tons; Gulf and Mississippi
Valley States, 7.626,176,159 tons
Compsrlng the total for the South
during these years with the rest of
the United States, the figures are as
follows;
1882 Southern States, 2.046.446,980
tons; United States, not Including
South. 152,02.969,398 lons
1890- Southern States, 7.640,077,034
tons; United States, not Including the
South, 71,862.908,091 tons.
1900 —Southern States, 16,308,409,-
100 tons; United States, not Including
the South, 121,853,700,313 tons
1904 -Southern States, 21.590,802.-
732 tons; United States, not Including
the South. 162,022.959,398 tons.
in 1882 the South had less than
one-eighteenth as much as the rest of
the country, In 1890 a fraction over
one-tenth, In 1900 a little less than
one-eighth and In 1904 nearly one-
Heventh . These figures show that
while the total mite-tons of the rail
roads of the United States of 1904
was about four and a half times as
great as In 1882, the mile-tom: of the
South In 1904 was greater,
“You may say that George M. Brin-!
son still owns the Btlllmore Air Line,”
stated Mr. George M. Brinson, ureal -1
dent of the St.lllmore Air Line yester-i
day, when questioned upon the owner
ship of thm road concerning which
some uncertainty In the public mind,
has been present for the last few
months.
Mr. Brinson’s statement should set
tie the matter for a time, at least
"That question," continued Mr. Brin-1
son, "has been like unto the query as.
to the whereabouts of Moses when
'he light went out, or that as to the 1
Identity of the Individual who struck
Billy Patterson. I have been called
upon numberless times to answer it;
it. has met me at. every turn.
"I do not say there is not money
enough to buy the Stillmore Air Line,
but 1 can state with posltlvencss that.
It has not yet been sold. It Is a good
paying piece of property and ft Isn't,
being hawked about as being for sale

more Air Line has grown from a mod
est Iratn road to a line fifty-four miles
In length, traversing the boHt section
of Georgia. Ii Is developing fast and
the revenue of Ihe road Is growing
with it."
Mr. Brinson slated thai the industry
of growing cantaloupes is being pur
sued with considerable Interest along
the route of the road. Preparations
are In progress for tin- coming crop,
and he estimates that at least find
acres will be planted in melons the
coming season. The planters were very
successful last year. They were as
sisted In the satisfactory marketing of
the melons by having the advantage
of an Ice plant at Slillmore which
was established for that special pur
pose.
Mr. Brinson predicts a roseate fu
ture for that section of the state. He
sa>s it has the finest farming soil to,
lie found, and all that, la needed to
ntak It blossom Into prosperity Is the
Intelligent work of a desirable class
of Immigrant farmers.
Asked If the Central of Georgia Rail
way company Is not contemplating the
purchase of Hit' Rtlllmorc Air Lin**,
Mr. Brinson replied:
"That Is a leading question which 1
do not care to answer.” Savannah

TIED UP WALL STREET.
Postal Messengers Fought New Rule
of Company.
Thp New York Herald prints the
following intorestlng story of a juve
nile strike which locked the wheel*
of progress on Wall street:
Wall street all yesterday ninrntng
rang for Postal Telegraph messeng
ers In vnln. One hundred of tha
youngsters were on strike.
"Noodles” Sweeney, their lender,
told their grievances thus:
"OHt.rum —dat's our manager—tells
us dat hereafter. Instead of our gltttn'
twenty-five messages a day to deliver,
we'd only git ten apiece. Up t' today
we could make two cents on each
message—shout sixty cents dat is,
not countin' graft. Accordin' to dls
new rule we kids 'd only be makln'
about twenty cents."
At noon the messengers didn't have
their usual six rents for milk and a
doughnut and sent a committee Into
the postal office to arbitrate, hut ‘n
vain. Later thirty lads said they
could not hold out longer and re
turned to work. To fill the others*
plares Mr. Ostrurfi got a squad from
the Broadway offlre and. reinforced
by newsboys, restored a fairly good
service In spite of strikers' attacks on
the newcomers.
Led by "Abey" Solomon, the strlk
ers made a demonstration In front of
the Htork Exrhange and were scat
tered by the police. “Abey" hit Po
liceman O'Brien on thp nose and was
put In a cell At 230 o’clock In th*
afternoon twenty-five hoys In the Cot
ton Exchange Postal office and twen
ty five more In the Front street of
fice went out on a sympathetic strike.
M Is alleged the company received
complaints from several brokers re
garding the tardy delivery of mes
sages, which led to establishing th*
new rule.
