THE ELITE THEATER PBESENTS HIGE-CLASS PICTURE JANUARY 61H Mary Pickford “In the Bishop’s Car- ure.” which will be shown at the ne, Athens’ most popular and pp- date movie, next Tuesday, January will no doubt prove one of the fin est attractions of this character ever brought to this city. Following is a synopsis of the play: •a a= not altogether Nance Olden’s t that she was an inmate of the rity House; neither was she to ie for being forced to escape, ely accused of theft, and cruelly punished, she decides to rid herself »ver of the matron’s persecution, sued by the police, 3he .takes ref in the room of Tom Uorgan, the rook, where later he finds her. Both L r ees from a doubtful justice, their •immon lot inspires them to establish partnership in crime. After a dar- theft of jewels, the loss of which almost imemdiately discovered, nee, in terrified despair, eludes the police by jumping into “the bishop’s 17*.” From this incident a chain •illing adventures progress, until Nance is again rescued from the po- by the time intervention of Ober- muller, a theatrical* manager, who is npressed with her mimic talent and ■vho offers her a position on the stage 2nd a chance to trsrel the straight mad. Now occurs a bitter contest between Dorgan and Obermuller for the loyalty of Nance, whi'h is culmi nated by the arrest and conviction of Tom. Nance’s admiration for Ober muller ripens into requited love, and she attains fame and fortune as an irtress. And then a 3hado<w of the croses her path; Tom escapes id returns to claim her; but his pur- is defeated by Obermuller. Only once more is she tempted by he old fascination; only once more he steals—steals an illegal contract ’rom the theatrical syndicate that is ittempting to crush Obermuller—and hen she really conquers the preying Weakness, marries Obermuller and Irinks the sweets of n righteous ex igence. It OBJECTED TO THE VIOLIN AND GOT VERY VIOLENT T A OMAN’S MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

All adies interested in the advancement »f (iod’s kingdom are invited to meet v « th them every afterxioon at 4 p. m. A Very Amusing Case in the four* of Mayor Rowe Today. Trouble at the Busy Bee Cafe, in Which a Musical Instru ment and a Catsup Bottle Were the “Properties” in the Play. “If music be the food of Love Flay on." —Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.’’ He had tried to play on, but had got no farther than the tuning of his violin when the trouble began, all of which is a prelude to a police court case tried today by Mayor Rowe. ’Tis said that “music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,” etc., but there was a case at the morning mati nee of His Honor Rowe that did not work out according to the poet, and in fact was the first cause of a row in which a violin and a catsup bottle were the “properties.” The scene is laid in the Busy Bee Cafe. We find Martin Payne at a table. We notice in another part of the cafe one Ed Flournoy. Payne has a violin, and someone asks him to play a tune. He is agreeable and, tuning up the instrument that “gets the goat” of Flournoy (according to the evidence brought out in police court today), and he cries to Payne to desist. Evidently Mr. Flournoy does not like melody. Payne goes tuning up the violin, and the next thing we see is Flournoy picking up a catsup bottle and threatening the sician. Some say it was a salt cel lar, not a bottle, but that’s immaterial. The proprietor takes a hand, and grabs the bottle (or cellar), and tells Flournoy to depart. He makeiL his exit. The scene changes. It is on Col lege avenue. We see Flournoy, and he is being followed by the Greek and the violinist. Flournoy calls a cop, and has u case made against Payne. Now the aoene .shiiU»jq police court this morning. The witnesses tell their versions; the defendant makes his spiel, and his honor says: “Five dollars or ten days, Mr. Payne.” DO FIGURES LIE Oil W, W, NEIGHBOUR TO SPECIAL NOTICE Beginning with the New Year, 'anuary 1st, the Adams Market will sell for cash only—abso lutely cash to everybody—and it a saving of 10 to 20 per cent below the ordinary 30-day pric es.

There is an old saw that goes “fig ures can’t lie.” That’s all well and good but how about an adding machine giving a wrong total to a column of figures simply because an expert manipulator can disseminate the type, all of which wa3 the topic in Judge Brand's court today and the case is still being heard in chambers as The Herald goes to prass. A case celebre concerning a Wales adding machine, the property of the defendant was heard by Judge Brand in chambers at noon today, and proved rather interesting. It seems that the machine had been broken by Mr. Adams, and it was alleged that the breaking was not an accident, but had been done by the party operating it at the time in an effort to break the adder, to demonstrate that it could easily get out of order and that it should be replaced by a machine of a competiting firm, which the party who broke the machine represented. It was alleged that the idea was to get the firm dissatisfied with the Wales machine and them to buy a Bur rows adding machine. The Wales peo ple declare that rough use had been given the Wales. The other side, of course, contend* that it was a “put up job” to put the Wales to the bad, so as they would buy another brand of adder. Two machines, the broken one and a perfect one were in the Judge’3 office, and a demonstration was given of how the injured machine failed to add correctly and the perfect one vis»- versa. Making Machine Lie. It was stated that one who had a knowledge of the iqechanism of the machines could melee the machine add|. wrong, yet the machinery be not real ly out of order, a trick of an expert so to speak, used by competitive sales men, to decry their competitors’ goods.

Augusta, Ga., January 3.—The in dications are that the street car situ ation here will go to arbitration. Following the meeting of the medi ation board Wednesday afternoon the announcement was made that the only questions at issue were those wages and hours; all other points of controversy having been voluntarily eliminated by the carmen. It was agreed at that meeting that the com pany’s officials and the executive com mittee of the carmen would meet at once and undertake to amicably settle the question of wages and hours by mutual agreement. Failing in this, it was further agreed that the matter was to be left to arbitration by a board of five arbitrators, to be se lected as before, that is, that the company select two, the men select two and these four select a fifth. The only development the situa tion yesterday was a letter to trainmen from General Manager Deal, proposing that the contract made with the mediation board October, 1912, be renewed and the change in wages and hours not be made until next year. mrs,1een1o THIS; MORNING Mrs. Mary Frances Green Dies at Home of Her Daughter, Mrs. Deupree. , „ Thi, morning at 6:16 occurred the “THE AVERAGE MAN Tl UNIVERSITY TO START TERM MONDAY MORNING Prospects Excellent For a Ban ner Year—Boys Beginning to Arrive—Up to Date Present Scholastic Year Has Been Most Successful in the History of Institution—Cotton School Opens Monday. The University of Georgia will open its doors for the winter term Monday morning with exceedingly bright prospects. Up to date the session has been the greatest in its history and from all indications, this promises to continue throughout the collegiate year.

Pound Will Deliver Address to Men at Colonial Tomorrow Afternoon. “The Average Man and The King dom,” will be the subject for the ad dress tomorrow Sunday afternoon to be held at the Colonial opera house. Mr. Jerre M. Pound, the president of the State Normal College will be the speaker for the service. He has uelected this subject to discuss at this time, it being the first of the new year to bring to the attention of many laymen, the fact that they have a place of service in the work of God. The church today is being held back in her ministrations to the needs of the world because she has not enough men in the rank3 who are willing to do their part. The church today has leaders, many capable men who arc willing to go forth to battle, who are well prepared to stand the conflict, but the rank and file are few and un willing because of the pressure of daily living and fear that they are not capable to perform their tasks. Pres ident Pound will bring several truths clearly to light that the man in the ranks can do his part, and that he is now suffering because of his failure to discharge hU duties. This address should prove to be one of the most interesting yet de livered as the speaker is a man of note and ability. Walter's orchestra will render their u«ual half-hour’s musical concert be ginning at 3:30 o'clock and lasting until four, when the address begins. The theater will be well warmed, as it was last Sunday. AH men are ex tended a most cordial invitation to be present come in, quite a few being in the city already but tomorrow every train that rolls into Athens will bear scores of students who are ready to take up their studies once more. No real work will be done until Tuesday, Monday being taken up en tirely with registration.

W. Reed, later than 11 o’clock Monday evening will be compelled to pay an extra fee of $2.50. The short courses of the 3tate Col lege of Agriculture all begin Monday and many farmers will thus be brought to the city. These courses are r.nt only of considerable benefit to the farmers throughout the entire state but to the city of Athens as weii. The citizens of Athens hail with de light the opening of the institution and are glad to have the college boys back with them.
