Mr. Gore was interviewed yesterday
inorplm shortly after the arrive' of
the Chicago “special" by a Herald ret
reneiiulhe. lm manes u.c Polo
tnent that he believes that the South
-the greatest agricultural section ot
the country —ls capable of making
crops double what they are today.
Mr. Gore alao mentioned the grent
ini; ortance of crop rotation. He save
Just as soon as one crop Is gathered
sow another, in other words utilize
the laud every possible day in the
year.
Another interesting point Mr, Gore
makes and one that will l>e worthy of
consideration in certain parts of the
South, ia that farmers down here do
not plow deep enough. He venture 1
to say that he believes that on some
farms a plow lias not been ten inches
under the surface of the ground, lie
says if the farmers haven’t the proper
implements It would pay them to get
them In order to thoroughly plow their
farmlands and not merely skim over
the edges
In touching on the business enter
prise of a town Mr. Gore said that
there is nothing that stands ns strong
toward making good the credit of the
individual business man like the city
from where he comes having a repu
tation of being a thrifty, progtessive
place. While he had not been here
more than a Tew hours he said that
ho felt assured Trom what had already
been told him of Augusta that this
town is now hustling and getting
somewhere.
The following are some additional
expressions of Chicago business men,
written after reaching Augusta yester
day.
Mr. Glen Frank.
“We looked forward to Augusta as
the week-end rest of our trip. Your
citizens are giving just the kind of
welcome that delights our hearts.
You have put yourselves at our ser
vice and have given us just enough
liberty to really rest. We have long
heard of the easy grace and hospital
ity of the fair South; it is all here;
but we have been amazed at the new
spirit that has entered into your com
mercial life. The new South is no
myth. On the ashes of the old you
are building the new progressive
South. The physical frontier is no
more and the real frontiers are now
economic frontiers where men are
bringing new methods of intensive
agriculture and business to bear on
old conditions.
“We are glad to be strangers with
in your gates for a week-end.

‘‘l have always wondered iT the
reputation for beauty among Southern
women did not rest largely on their
ability to so combine dress fabrics a 3
to materially heighten the effect upon
observers,” s<tid Colby Davies. “On
this trip, therefore. I have made a
particular study of the costuming of
your feminine population. 1 believe,
now. that my theory is based upon
fact and is subject of demonstration,
for I have never seen women ny
where who appeared to such advan
tge and who showed such taste in
their costuming as in Augusta and
other Southern cities.”

Mr. W. A. Lockwood.
“Today is one of the days of our
Southeastern invasion that I person

menced.
I feel that so far on our journey
in pulling into Augusta this morning
we had reached the pivotal point in
our trip. Your beautiful city, with all
its possibilities opened its doors of
welcome to us when your committee
extended us their cordial greetings
and bid us to entrance, and It is our
intention to accept of this hospitality

A musical comedy witli a real plot

musical play which comes to the

ing, with the endorsement of every
critic without exception in New York,
San Francisco and Los Angeles, which
are the only large cities that have had
the opportunity of seeing the French
operetta.
“Adele” is a rarity in the theatrical
world, a musical comedy with a real
plot, a logical and interesting story,
which develops rationall. act by act.
More than that, it has sparkling lines,
clever comedy and splendid music.
I! has no star, hut the members of
the cast stand out with particular
prominence, for the absence of a star
gives every individual member of
this competent company the greatest
opportunity to display his or her abil

“Adele" is from the French. Paid

contributed to the American stage the
greatest and most successful opera
ever produced in this country, Kr

lightness and c leverness which we are
accustomed to associate with French
entertainments, with none of the
doubtful situations or double mean
Ings which sometimes mar the dra
matic output of that nationality. Al
though everything about the perform
ance is delightful, the music will no
doubt be credited with being Its chief
charm. A waltz which hears the

This Is the play which lias created

duction in America, at the Fulton
Theater, New York, on March It.
li>l3, than any other drama of modern
times. As the New York Times has
said, it "Initiates a new epoch of civ
dilation," an epoch which seems des
lined to establish s new outlook upon
llle, and an epoch which will mean
the correction oT a great soeial evil.
The play Is based upon the Ignor
ance and blindness with which men
and women of today assume the most
sacred obligations of parenthood.
The central character in the pta.v Is
a young man wiio is physically unfit
to marry and who is so udvlsed o(
the fact by his physician, but who
because Ills word is given and be
cause he fears to violate the "cus
tom" of engagements, he marries an
innocent young girl.
The second act takes place eighteen
months after the first act, and the
young married people are bouyantly
happy In their home and jubilant
over the birth of a (laughter. But
in the midst of thiH happiness there
stalks the dread spectre of hereditary
disease The sins of the father have
been visited upon the child and all
the happiness becomes as the ashes
of Dead Sea applet upon the Ups of
father and mother.
The third uct concerns the efforts
of the father of the young wife and
the family physician to construct a
new life for the young people on the
crumbled foundation of the old.

The Kimball player piano is the nearest, ap
proach to the human touch that it is possible for
tin* inventive genius to devise. When properly
played it is impossible to distinguish it. from
pieces rendered by skilled artists playing by
hand, or manually.
You may have heard in some homes player
pianos which wore not satisfactory that, failed
to give the proper expression apd feeling. Don’t
make the mistake of assuming that all player pi
anos are alike. It would pay you to investigate
tin* merits of Kimball players, and an hour spent
in our player room will convince you that there
is nothing mechanical about this flexible instru
ment. /
Kimball instruments Plnver Pianoft, Up

Our one, absolutely one, priee at which our
