DELIGHTFUL COMEDY
NEXT SATURDAY
Oscar Figman in “The
Lightning Conductor."
Those, who are prone to enjoy
-i good laugh, quickly followed by an
other, before an effervescing farce
comedy, are almost sure of greet
ing the offering at Glover's Opera
House on Saturday matinee and
■night, when Oscar Figman will he
3een in "The Lightning Conductor.”
This play is one of up-to-date sport,
manners and love-making, and has
been most capitally adapted from C.
JN. & A. M. Williamson’s famous nov
«1, "The Lightning Conductor," into
. a brisk and lively comedy of ro
mance and adventure by Harry B.
Smith, he of comic opera fame.
The story has not been lost in the
handling by Mr. Smith, and relates
to the romance of an American girl
trying to tour France in an antiquat
ed motor car. Her chaffeur deserts
-on a lonely roadway in France. In
leaving her with the disabled car in
t this predicament she and the chaper
oning Aunt are discovered by the
Hon. John Winston, an English gen
tleman, who enchanted by the girl’s
beauty, plays knight errant and
succors her from her unpleasant sit
uation.
In order to prolong an acquaintance
so unconventionally begun, he repre
jsents himself to he a chaffeur in
search of employment. He is en
gaged qnder the Cognomen of his
.own mechanician, James Brown,
and from this change in identity all
manner of awkward and embarrass
ing situations arise. Difficulties are
augmented by one Talleyrand, who
is pursuing Molly Randolph because
she is reputed to be very rich. He
hates the gentlemanly chaffeur and
soon establishes sufficient incriminat
ing evidence to convict Brown of the
iimrder of his supposed master, the
Hon. John Winston. Meanwhile Mol
ly is much disgusted with herself for
having become interested in the ple
bian person of her chaffeur, but she
- again changes her opinion and sees
that her interest has not been mis
placed.
The audience never caught in
the snarl and intringe that surrounds
the supposed James Brown, as it is
always privy to the fact that he is
. John Winston and the suspense is
■•created in trying to conjecture how
the masquerading baronet will ex
• cut pate himself from all of the crimes
i charged up against him. This, of
course, he does to the satisfaction of
everyone in a simple manner in the
last act.
E. A. Weil has surrounded Mr. Fig
man with a most pleasing cast of
players and has given “The Light
, ning Conductor” a most satisfactory
stage setting, among other features
being the thrilling auto scene.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
DEAL A MONTH OLD
To Be Delivered to Harri
man in February.
SAVANNAH, GA„ Nov. 4.—(Special)
i —News has been received here from
| New York that the Central of Georgia
I was sold to E. H. Harriman a month
! ago, with the agreement that the
stock of the road was to he delivered
in February. It is understood that
Harriman has already made a sub
stantial advance on the purchase fig
ure, which believed to be a con
siderable advance on the figures at
which Messrs. Perry and Thorne ob
tained it. Their purchase price was
$15,600,000 for the $5,000,000 capital
stock.
Considerable speculation is in
dulged in as to the outcome if
1 Fish secures control of the Illinois
j Central, with which the Central of
Georgia is supposed to work out of
Birmingham if the latter road is un
der the control of Harriman. The
Central of Georgia will in any event
he operated as a separate corporation.
In case Fish beats Harriman for the
I. C., the Central of Georgia could
no doubt he sold profitably. At
the time it was bought by Harriman
it is said that The Rock Island and*
the New’ York, New Haven & Hart
ford road were also bidders for the
property.
A Hard Debt to Pay.
“I owe a debt of gratitude that can
never be paid off,” writes G. S. Clark,

from death, by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. Both lungs were so seriously
affected that death seemed eminent
when I commenced taking New Dis
covery. The ominous dry, hacking
cough quit before the first bottle was
used, and two more bottles made a
complete cure.” Nothing has ever
equaled New Discovery for coughs,

plaints. Guaranteed by Eldridge Drug

PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
UP FOR CONSIDERATION
Rev. J. L. Irvin Leaves To

Rev. J. L. Irvin, pasto* of the Pres
byterian church, will leave today for
Macon, where he goes to attend the
annual meeting of the Presbyterian
Synod of Georgia. The Synod will be
in session until Friday.
Outside of the regular routine, the
chief question before the Synod will
be the matter of establishing a Pres
byterian Synodical College in Geor
gia. The college will be located at
the point which offers the most sub
stantial inducements. So far the
bidding has not been satisfactory and
it is probable that the final disposi
tion of the proposition will be de
ferred.
There will be the usual discussion
of the missionary work and other ac

COUNTY IS WILLING TO
HELP THE MILITARY
Assistance is Given By
Commission.
At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners yesterday a re
quest for assistance for the local mil

action thereupon taken. Captain
John A Cobb, for the Light Infantry,
appeared before the county commis
sioners and in a strong address set
forth the pressing financial needs of
the company and at the same time
emphasizing the vital, imperative
need for maintaining that organiza
tion. The commissioners took the
same view as did Captain Cobb and,
despite recent heavy and unusual
drafts upon the county treasury, made
a conditional donation of $75, at the
same time expressing the hope of
doing much more «for the Light In
fantry in January. This assistance
will be appreciated by the military,
and citizens and the city council will
provide the remaining funds required
for paying the indebtedness of the
company.
