WHAT IS ELEGANCE.
“Elegance is native, it does not rest
on the form of a skirt or the cut of a
habit. We adorn or detract from our
clothes —we make them elegant or
vulgar.”
That is what Alphonse Daudet
thought of elegance—and of the way
women wore their clothes. He wap
referring to the Empress Eugene, a
v orran of supreme elegance, and as
the styles she helped to make famous
are the styles that some our clothes
follow today. Daudet’s words are
worth heeding. For surely the
clothes of the second French empire
are clothes that must be carefully
worn.
» Elegance is hardly a characteristic
Shat can he had for the asking. But
Jieither is It a characteristic that can
l(>e easily lost. So those of us who pos
se i it may rest content in the thought
that it is one of our greatest assets
and those of us who have it not, may
rest content in the knowledge that
clothes would not give it to us, even
ilf we could spend thousands of dol
lars a year for them.
For . as Daudet says, "we adorn or
detract from our clothes. We make
them elegant or vulgar.” 'They do not
make us.

The sub-committee of the high
school committee of the Board or
Education, consisting of Messrs. T. I.
Hickman, Chas. E. Whitney, Geo. C.
Schafele and Capt. Jas. I. Fleming,
ex-officio, apopinted for the purpose
of looking into the matter of select
inf a site for the new Tubman High
fc’chool, visited the Schuetzen Platz
property on Walton Way Friday. The
committee will not make its report
until the entire board meets in an
nual session next Saturday. At this
time, in all probability, something
definite will be in shape for an
nouncement regarding the new Tub
man.
The so gentlemen who visited
the property in behalf of the school
trustees will hold a meeting this
week to come to some conclusion as
to what their recommendations will
be to the board.
One of the members of the sub
committee seen yesteday would not
make a statement as to what was
thought of the Platz property for a
new Tubman, saying that nothing
could be told until the proposition Is
laid before the entire board.
Mr. T. H. Garrett, principal of the
Tubman, is very favorably impressed
The “Fourth” Produced But Very
Few Fights; None Were Serious
Skull of Luke Freeman, Negro, Fractured by Brickbat. G.
D. Brooks, Another Negro, Slashed With Knife in Back
in Alley Near Broad Street, 800 Block. Assailant in Jail.
Cutting scrapes and fights of a se
rious nature were comparatively few
yesterday for the Fourth of July. At
midnight a calm hung over the town,
from the police standpoint.
Among the few who were hurt in
fights were two negroes, Luke Free
man. who was hit on the head with a
■brickbat at the corner of Forsyth and
Telfair Streets by a negro who suc
ceeded in making his esca)pe, and G.
D. Brooks, who was severely cut
with- a knife In the left side and back.
Both negroes were taken to the La
mar Hospital. It was found that
Freeman had a fractured skull. An
operation was performed on Brooks,
and at a late hour last night it was
stated that his chances for recovery
were good.
Brooks was cut, say the police, by

The impressive, beautiful and solemn

the D. A. lt.’s Saturday afternoon weft

originally intended, bi t in the U. 1).
C. hail, in the basement df the CoiyJ
House building. The weather was un
certain while the preparations were
being made early In the afternoon and
it was decided to hold the exercises
indoors.
In the absence of the mayor of the
city, Hon. Llnwood Hayne, Mrs. Percy
Burum, the president of the Augusta
chapter of the D. A. R., presided over
the ceremonies.
A very large and especially repre
sentative gathering congregated at 6
o’clock, despite the somewhat doubtful
t ather, and the spirit of the meeting
was, it almost seemed, a flame re
kindled from the old fire of 1776. All
those quiet, reverent people, come to
gether to commemorate the birth of
their fatherland and to give thanks
for its preservation and survival
through all the past of tears and blood
■—ther was osmething In It that was
Inspiring. One saw, as It were, the
vision of the civil war, that wound
which It would seem no time could
heal and yet one felt there was an
other cause, older and above, a cause
before which even that paled, which
had survived the tragedy and the hate,
which bound Americans together yet
in the name of the Thirteen Colonies,
and which had floated out to them
over the years, like the shadow of the
flag.
Mrs. Burum opened the exercises
with a few well chosen and graceful
words of welcome, after which she in
troduced the Hon. W. E. Keener, who
read the original Declaration of Inde
pendence.
After this tnc St. James choir (Mrs.
C. N. Bowden, Miss L. H. Wilson, Mr.
Lester Tyce and Mr. W. L Ewing)
sang "America,” In which everytiody
joined enthusiastically. There Is noth
ing like in; plring music to arouse and
thrill patriotism in the hearts of a
crowd!
Mississippi Birds Won Over
North Carolina in Big Fight

Down Aboard Steamer. $2,000 Went to the Winners.
One of the biggest cocking mains
held In the Mouth in recent years was
pulled off down the fc’avannah River
below Augusta Saturday, when the
birds from Mississippi won over the
North Carolina gamecocks In a de
cisive manner. The winner secured
$2,000 In prizes, in addition to the
money he won by making bets. There
were seventeen birds matched and
those from Mississippi won nine of

match.

with the site. He says tht it is the
largest lot available that could at all
be used for the Tubman High School,
and in his opinion is very well locat
ed. He has ascertained from a large
map of the city of Augusta, by dotting
off the homes of the 218 girls who
attended Tubman last year, that there
are as present only a very few more
living closer to the present site than
the one proposed. Since the growth
of the town is extending in the direc
tion of the Platz property, it is be
lieved that in a tew years hence It
will be as near the center of the sec
tion In which students of Tubman re
side as practical.
No explanation need be gone into
concerning the great need Tor a girls’
high school In Augusta that will be
suflicently adequate In size to take
care of the continued Increase In girl
high school pupils here. Last year
It was only on account of the addition
of two class rooms to Tubman that
the great increase w'as taken care If.
This year there will be no more room
and many pupils will be turned away.

attention was attracted to the fight
by the screams of two negro women
who were present at the time. The
trouble happened just off Broad
Street in an alley running between
Broad and Kills Streeta on the 800
block.

Seals went to the scene of the cut

by the negro who had been nearly
slashed to death and was being ham

man, who was using his fists to a
telling degree. The negro was soon
after weak from the loss of blood and
was rushed to the hospital a« soon
as possible.
The cause of tire fight was vague
to the police.

Mrs. Burum Introduced the Hon. Lans
ing B. Lee, orator of the day.
Mr. Lee's Speech.
Mr. Lee, in a really masterly speech,
dwelt on many points of nation-wide
Interest. His was not a usual, ora
torical, “Fourth of July" speech, full
of bombastic to make
people applaud and to leave their
minds empty. After a brief reference
to the meaning of the "Fourth” he
went on to a discussion its the Amer
ican Idea of government, und thence
to a brief resume of the Mexican sit
uation, showing how the policy of the
present administration towards Mexico
coincided with the accepted ideals of
this nation’s foreign policy.
He went on to point out, in a fur
ther field, that the Ideals of Amer
ican freedom and democracy, of which
Americans are so proud and for which
every man and woman of us would no
doubt fight to the death, were Ideals
rather than facts, in 1776, he said,
our forefathers fought for freedom
against a peri! from without; but let
us not consider their victory our eman
cipation. We are now confronted with
no less serious perils from within. This
Is not the promised land of equal op
portunity. “The people of this country
may he sovereign and supreme, but
the voice of the sovereign has been
scarcely heard in the councils of the
nation.” We may have a revolution
yet to fight before we achieve that
state of liberty and equality of which
our ancestors dreamed and for which
they died. Let us combine to throw
off the yoke of the tariff and the
trusts. "The almighty dollar has been
esteemed more highly than human
safety and human life."
Mr ]s»e was applauded to the eeho.

New York. —With the major league
baseball clubs about to enter upon the
second half of theiV 1914 campaign a
comparison with the records of the last
two years develops some interesting
data regarding the strength and weak
ness of the teuniH In the National and
American circuits. In the senior or
ganization the New York (.Hunts led
their league on July Ist in both 1912 and
1919. Two years ago the Met lYawiti s
were making a runaway race of the
pennant contest, having won fifty and
lost eleven games for an average of .820.
Pittsburgh was second with thirty-seven
games won and twenty-five lost, giving
the Pirates a percentage of .597. (Chi
cago, with .567, was third, having lost
twenty-six games and won thirty-four.
Cincinnati completed the first division
with thirty-five victories and thirty-two
defeats, the Red’s percentage being .522.
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Routs and
Boston followed In the order named with
percentages of .423, 4<>7, .391 and ,30*J
respectively.
Last season’s standing showed seve
ral marked changes over this order, for
while the Giants were showing the way.
their lead was of the narrowest mar
gin for Philadelphia was In second place
and Brooklyn followed the Quakers
closely. In fact but .120 points separated
the first four teams against approxi
mately .300 jn 1912. The New Yoik club,
ultimate winners of the pennant, had
a percentage of .635 to Philadelphia's
.633. The Giants had won forty games
and lost twenty-three, while the Quak
ers score stood thlVty-elght games won
and twenty-two lost. Brooklyn, which
held sixth place In 1912, was but 76
points behind the second place club,
having won thirty-four games and lost
twenty-seven. Chicago completed the
list of first division teams with a per
centage of .615. The second half of the
league standing was occupied by Pitts
burgh, Ht. Louis, Boston and Cincinnati,
with respective percent.ig(*s of .461, .421,
.413 and .379.
In the American League the Philadel
phia Athletics were not pitying at top
speed In 1912 and held second place with
the Boston Red Sox showing the v r ay.
Chicago was third and Washington
fourth. The race was much closer, how
ever, than that In the National organi
sation, for Boston had hut 128 points
separating the fist and fourth teams,
the standing being: Boston, won 46, lost
21, percentage .687; Philadelphia, won
38,’ lost 25, percentage .602; Chicago,

Last season the Athletics held a lend

already beginning to concede the pen
nant to Connie Mack’s players. With
forty-eight games won and seventeen
lost, the Philadelphia club showed a per
centage of .738 aginst Cleveland's .600,
for forty-two games won and twenty
eight lost. Chicago was again in third
place with thirty-nine victories and
thirty-two defeats, giving the White Sox
.649. Washington, while not going as
strong as in 1912, still managed to hold
fourth place, thirteen points behind Chi
cago and five points ahead of Boston,
which In one year had dropped from
first to fifth place. Detroit St. Louis
and New York brought up in the rear
us they did In 1912.
POLICE HAS LIVELY TIME
ON THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
There was 11 hot time in the old
town hint night. The police had an
evening that reminded them of a really
feHtive Christmas Eve. Most of tho
cases brought in were plain drunks,
but there was enough variety to W*n I
Hpice. The battle royal that took
place at the lake between a crowd of
Harrisburg hoys and a small army of
Empire building employes was inter
esting. One of the employes claimed
that he was not being treated fairly
in being made to pay a second en
trance fee Into the dance pavilion
when he. had gone out only for a mo
ment. He emphasized Ills sentiments
by sailing Into the door keeper with
some violence. It was a lively scrap
for a few moments, till It was Joined
gradually by friends on both sides,
when it became a brisk engagement
almost a battle. A large number wns
brought In In the patrol wagon from
the scene of operations.
The guard room Is nearly full. Home
are cursing, some whistling gaily, oth
ers calling loudly for "Wafer! Water;”
others art* too drunk to know where
they are. The latter are the most to
be envied of the lot.
SEX ASSERTING IT9ELF
The woman teacher had a mixed class
of hoys and girls. "1 gave them a dic
tation lesson," she said, "to see how
they could manage words which are
