PAGE EIGHT Beauty Doctor in the Summer; lootball Player in the Winter ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 22.—Dr. Percy Rhyne, beauty doctor, and “Hard-Boiled” Rhyne, the most promising candidate for center on the varsity football team at the Uni versity of Georgia here, are one and the same. The hands with which Percy Rhyne massages the soft cheeks of his customers in the beauty parlor are the same taped and brawny paws with which he manhandles op- j ponents on the gridiron. He is the world’s only beauty doc-' tor who plays football and he plays 1 it rough. Or, to turn the thing around, he is the only world’s football player AFTER LEAVING THEHOSPITAL Wat Weak and Miserable. Lydia E.

J.-J~" _________■ H | CHAPPELL MACHINERY COMPANY twc MirDnnrir THE MOHAWK who pays his college expenses by giving facials and permanents. Percy Rhyne, 22 and member of the sophomore class at the Univers ity of Georgia, was brought up in a beauty parlor. “My aunt, Mrs. Sarah Clayton Blake, is proprietor of a beauty shop in Atlanta,” he says, “and I was one of her regular employees. So you see there isn’t much about this beauty stuff that I don’t know. Permanents, facials, henna washes —they’re all one to me. “When I left the shop for college I still had to eat three times a day, so I hunted up a beauty parlor near r the campus and there I earn the ! where-with-all to pay my expenses. I “As for football, I’ve always lov ed it, and I’ve played the game, or tried to play it. ever since I was a kid. There isn’t anything like it.” I Perhaps Percy Rhyne loves foot> ball because he is the he-man type, r and has pitched by Fate into sem i mine work of the beauty shop as a ! ' means of livelihood. He gets fed I up on beauty culture and longs for the rough stuff of the gridiron. I Off the football field Percy j Rhyne is a quiet chap. On the grid i iron he is a personfied tiger. He is about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weigh ing about 170 pounds, and charges like a load of dynamite. But with jail his fighting spirit, he keeps his jhead and plays a brainy game. “That’s because he was brought up in a beauty parlor,” says his i aunt, Mrs. Blake, for whom he worked five years. "You’ve got to : have poise and perseverance in ! beaut yparlor work, and I beliieve t , those are the two things you need i most in football. Giving beauty I treatments has helped Percy as much as anything else to become a good football player.” Percy Rhyne’s sister, Mrs. Perry Hoke Walker of Atlanta, also work-; ed her way through college via the beauty shop. Percy was a humdinger last year as center on the freshman team at the University of Georgia. Critics say he is going to make Georgia Tech and other southern colleges j think they are being massaged by a steam roller this year. They predict he will give his grid iron opponents more kinds of fa cials and permanents than, they ever had before.

To begin with, Ireland won’t ad mit that there is such a thing as a “bad” boy Misunderstood boys, un healthy boys, neglected boys—but not bad ones. “There is away to every boy’s z , heart,” he says—remember, he isn’t , s muph more than a boy himself. There’s plenty of goodness in every e boy here, and it’s my job to bring ~ out what’s best in them. r “Some of the boys reach here ex-1 e pecting to find guards set to watch I them, and some even think they will I . have to wear a ball and chain. But , we don’t guard them. The feeling of being watched don’t do a boy ’ any good. We put them on their honor, at least partly so,\from the , start, and we find that they always respond to such treatment. “Each boy<on his arrival is charged with a certain number of I demerits, and as he works them off I is given more and more privileges. * 1 At first he is allowed to go into town to church or to wholesome ’ amusements, and finally he reaches £ the senior classs where he is placed s wholly on his honor, and at last he goes out into the world a respecct- ' able citizen. f I “We have a student council of nine boys to deal with offenders 1 and various school problems, and you would be surprised how strict * they are. No petty act goes tin- * punished, but every chap gets just- ’ ice at their hands.” « Occasionally some lad runs away. I No guard is sent after him. Two of r his fellows go and find him winding up by asking him to return of his 1 own free will. And so far every single one has done so! ; “The thing we need most is more s equipment for vocational training,” 1 says Ireland. “Iwant to arrange ; things so that every boy who goes i out of here will know a trade that ] will enable him to earn a good liv ing.” i j The boys work one day and go to school the next. They do all the < work about the place, even to the I AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Desperado ; .A J, t i t •>' X 3 3 ’Bk 1 1 J4SB y ' W* ! > I Here is Kinnie Wagner, 20, con fessed uajer of three officers, for ■ whose arrest rewards totaling $2,- 750 have been offered.

They cultivate a 450- acre farm, operate a blacksmith and carpenter repair shops and have built a canning factory, where they will put up the fruits grown on the farm.

Richey, nationally I famous revivalist, whom thousands claim have cured them of nearly every known disease, will hold a special revival meeting in Haale hurst, Georgia from October 4th to 18th, according to word just re ceived from his Texas headquarters.

At that Revival the two rail roads ran special trains to take care of the tremendous crowds that “This Karnak Is Great”, Declares Augusta Man “It’s the Best Medicine Ever Put In a Bottle,” Says Switch man A. F. Binion of Ga. Rail road. A. F. Binion, of 421 Walker St., Augusta, Ga., well known switch man for the Georgia R. R., now comes forward with his unqualified indorsement of Karnak and deca Ire that it is by far the best medicine ever put in a bottle. “Yes sir, I’m always telling my friends about this Karnak and what it’s done for me,” says Mr. Binion. “It’s by far the best medicine ever put in a bottle. “Now just listen at what this medicine has done for me. For at least ten years I’ve had the worst kind of indigestion and suffered with a sour gaseous stomach. Why after eating, so much gas would form on my stomach that the pres sure would cause an awful soreness in the upper part of my stomach and in my chest around my heart. “I picked my food and was very careful of what I ate, but even with flocked from all over the Peach-' Tree State to hear him, and the city had to employ special traffic policemen to handle the thousands , of visitors. AIKEN CHIEF SLAIN IN GUN DUEL SUNDAY AIKEN, S. C., Sept. 21.—Michael Knotts, chief of police of Wagner, S'. C., Aiken county, was shot and instantly killed Sunday afternoon by Elliott “Rabbit” Gannt in a pis tol duel between the two men on the streets of Wagner. Gannt who escaped from the af fray without wounds, after he had killed the police chief, motored to Aiken, accompanied by two friends George Miller and Julian G. Gannt, and surrendered at the Aiken coun ty jail. An inquest will be held at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, it was announced tonight in Aiken. this I suffered continuously with attacks of indigestion and awful gas pains. I would just bloat up as tight as a drum with gas, and this condition sapped me of my strength and energy until a lot of days I just didn’t feel I could hold out to do a day’s work. Well sir, my brother knowing my condition sent me some Karnak from Atlanta before it was put on sale here in Augusta. I tell you it didn’t take' this medicine long to show an improvement in my condi tion. I began to eat food that I didn’t dare eat before, and now I eat just about as I please. “I’m on my fourth bottle of Kar nak now it has knocked those indi gestion and gas pains right out. My food is giving me strength and do ing me the good it should do now. and I simply feel like a new man. It’s a real pleasure to tell every body about Karknak, for it’s a medicine that’s bound to do them good.”
