BIJOU ALL OF NEXT WEEK
Lew Miller, Marjorie Lake and
Others Are Featured in This
Tabloid.
The following announcement was
made last night by the management of
the Bijou Theater concerning the re
turn engagement of The Country
rjirl” with added features:
•‘Productions in musical tabloids that
are breaking records are coming neai
the class of attractions that please the
public otherwise they would not he
doing it. ‘The Country Girl, which
opens a week's engagement at the
Bijou Theater, commencing next Mon
day matinee, came within a few dollars
of bracking the house records on its
last engagement here. The ta sj
tures Uew Miller, premiere Rube co
median’ of the circuit, as Hiram Green,
the show contains eighteen people,
with competent principals and a chor
us of pretty girls, beautifully costum
ed The music is the kind uou hum
when you leave for home. There are a
number of up-to-date song hits intro
duced and the situations are so full of
comedv that it is certain that no one
will attend this performance without
retting their money’s worth of laughs.
In addition to the big act, there will be,
three smaller ones, but although short,
ere xceptionally good. The first, Ine
Carlton Sisters.’ better Known as
'Those Happy School Kids,' a L e A. cou j
pie of joy dispensers, whose light and
ioyful merriment will take, it is claim
ed, the house by storm. Their stunt
is clover singing and dancing, with a
lot of witty sayings guaranteed to
bring smiles to the face of a chrome
dyspeptic grouch. The second, Bert
Kyerstedt and his violin, promises to
be a very entertaining act, and should
appeal to those lovers of music who
like the violin. »The third is Miss Mar
jorie Lake. America’s greatest lady
baritone. Miss Lake has appeared in
Augusta before, and has a host of ad
mirers. This new act of hers she has
dubbed ‘From Grand Opera to Rag
time,’ and if the title of her act means
just what it Says, it is assured that
there is no other on the vaudeville
stage who can play the part better.
The bill for this coming week prom
ises to be an excellent one. There will
he the three regular performances
every day during the week.”
LETTERS FROM TOE PEOPLE |
Augusta, Ga., June 4th, 1914.
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir: —X have one suggestion to make
along the line of certain reforms ar.d
in this I am backed up by all good
citizens and taxpayers. I refer to the
old-style Justice courts in cities
These courts are nearest the people
and are used to a greater or less ex
tent, hampering the people—the poor
in chief, as they are afraid of the man
higher up it seems. While the com
mittee on Judicial reform will meet
at Tybee on .Tune ISth to press reform
measures, we good citizens must co
operate with them and see that thl*
reform comes
Ijel us recommend to our legisla
ture municipal courts or else amend
the present laws to make lawyer
judges of these courts. It Is a tm\
estv on Justice to have Judges who
are not lawyers administering the law
and have so much power as th‘
courts. 1 noticed In my travels around
all of the lawyers are considering
these nuisances and as a general rule
shun practice therein for J. P. seems
to mean to them—" Judgment for the
plaintiff.”
All these courts make cases on 20
per cent basis and I find from my
experience with them that two and a
half dollars will buy a warrant for
any of us rood citizens In these courts
and our arrest by irresponsible con
stables and even the sacred precincts
of our homes Invaded by these peste
for a trifle and all, as I say, without
much notice to us. What do they
care about the constitution? What do
they care about homestead exemption"
It is costs with them and they don't
care how mJeh It comes. This might
do In backwoods but not In enlight
ened cities. The time hss come for
the change. 1 am glad such gentle
men as Hon. H. B. King and others
welcome reform along this line. If
Is a pity to call these course "Justice
courts” when their machinery teems
with Injustice. I.*t us get this re
form offered by the committee and
truly Augusta will be the Empire
City of the South.
, Respectfully.
& S M. DEVANEI'.

Dashed to Death.
Atlanta—W. O. Childers, once a not
ed soldier of fortune, but recently in
reduced circumstances, was dashed to
his death from a hotel window on
Walton street yesterday. The coroner
is making every effort to ascertain
whether the death was suicide or acci
dent.
Childers was once an expert civil en
gineer and is said to have done im
portant government work in Central
America.
Some light on the possible manner
of his decease is shed by friends, who
declare that when drinking, Childers
had a mania for sitting in open win
dow's, and that once betore, some years
ago, he was almost miraculously saved
from falling out of a window in the
Grant building.
Ben is Lem’s Chauffeur.
Atlanta. —Ben F. .Perry, prominent
Georgia newspaper man, and a w'ell
known figure at the capitol, is mak
ing his bow as chauffeur of the auto
mobile in which Lem M. Park is ’’run
ning" for state treasurer.
Mr. Perry, who was chief clerk when
Captain Robert E. Park was state
treasurer, will be assistant treasurer
in the event Lem Park is elected. That
accounts for the fact that Lem and
Ben are scouting around the state
with Ren at the steering wheel.
Their friends say that Mr. Perry
has not only become an expert driver,
but has learned so much about the “in
nards” of the critter he Is driving, that
they cat/ venture into the sparsely set
tled rural districts sure that they will

Some Peach Trees.
Atlanta. — A fairy-tale peachtree that
sprung up out of the ground without
being planted, and that bears luscious
fruit a full month before other peach
trees give any yield, is being viewed
today as an eight-day wonder in the
hack yard of Mrs. M. A. Chambers on
Central avenue.
The tree is laden with ripe and beau
tiful fruit, already touched to the red
and gilden tones which are ordinarily
not seen until July. It is supply in
the whole neighborhood with a variety
of peach which Is unknown to the
nursery men, but which is said to rt

The neighbors are all saving the seed
from the tree, planning to plant them
this year. Mrs. Chambers takes no
