SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 NO ALUM IN ROYAL BAKING POWDER Confidence Increasing In All Lines of Construction Work Columbus, Ga.—The Industrial Index ®ays In its issue for this week: “There is perceptible improvement in business conditions in the Southeast. “There has been some gain in the volume of business. There has been a notable increase in confidence, which is even more important. The people of this section have gone earnestly about find ing a way out of the difficulties, and they are doing it. Their efforts and their growing success are encouraging them to a wonderful degree. “The Buya-aßale-of-Cotton movement is spreading throughout the South. It is helping to place more money in cir culation and to keep cotton out of a low pfrice market. This and other plans which are being placed in operation, in cluding the loaning of money on stored cotton, is adding materially to the vol ume of money in circulation —eventually to amount to millions. “It is notable that the reports for the week show much substantial activity and a substantial amount of construction work in the Southeast. There is a very considerable gain as compared with last w«ek. and this is a reliable indication of general conditions. “The Industrial Index publishes this ■week more official requests for bids for construction work of importance than it has carried in a number of weeks. This fs a cheerful reflection of actual condi tions. “Waterpower is to be developed, two factories established. Summer residences erected and an electric railway line con structed by two companies which have been organized in northern Alabama, capitalists of that state and of Pennsyl vania being interested. Speaking ... THE... Public Mind Poland’s Hopes. To The Herald: Should the czar of Russia with the aid of his present allies triumph in the present war of Europe, he will have a unique and magnificent opportunity of righting a fearful wrong by re establishing the ancient Kingdom of Poland, so cruelly and ferociously dismembered and partitioned out be tween Russia, Prussia and Austria du-lng the eigthteenth century. Should he do this, the czar will have earned the admiration of all true lovers of freedom and will have made very considerable atonement for the misdeeds of his ancestors in this and other matters, ENGLISH. A Canal Alarmist. To The Herald: England controls all important straits on the globe except the Pana ma Canal. As is well known, it has demanded that we shall not fortify this canal, probably because it hopes some day to get hold of it. We should fortify it so strongly that it will always be secure from English greed. There is no telling what might happen with England on one side of the canal and its ally Jajr.n on the other. H. E. C. No Sympathy for "Tourist." To The Herald: * I am sorry our good old Star-Span gled Banner gives protection to this animal who styles himself “Tourist." I am pleased to know that we have a secretary of state who looks after all classes alike —the so-called “common people,” as "Tourist” styled them, as well as the aristocrat. There are too many like "Tourist” in the United States, who get their wealth from the so-called common people and spend it in Europe. This class ought to get what is coming to them. It is too bad that our good people have to mix with such trash as “Tourist,” T. F. THE EAGLE 9 S MATE WITH MARY PICKFORD. In Five Rests of Motion Pictures. Cast of Characters i Anemone Breckenridge.

To The Herald: Did the workers of America, and particularly of Augusta, note that congress appropriated $2,000,000 for the relief of rich tourists caught by the war in Europe? It has also con tributed SOOO,OOO for the relief of the American workers who did not take their usual trip abroad this year on account of being thrown out of em playment as a result of the war. Already the workers of America are suffering from lack of the necessities of life, due to the high prices born of capitalist greed. The poor are cry ing for bread. The cry has been heard in Washington, and congress, with its usual promptness, has answered the cry in its usual capitalist way—it has ordered a£ investigation. The workers out of work can now have “investigation” pot-pie three times a day, and perhaps, if they are not all starved to death before No vember, some of them will be wise , enough to know that— With Republicans out and Democrats in, The worker has nothing to lose but his skin. With conditions reversed (and It’s of ten tried). The worker is certain of losing his hide. Then vote the Socialist party an In ning And banish forever the art of skin ning. C. L. L. Devote Revenue from Near-Beer Saloons to Work on Streets. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 18, 1914. To The Herald: I read In your column devoted to Speaking the Public Mind, an article signed “Long-Suffering,” about the bad condition of the streets in Au gusta Ga. It is time one is making a complaint for without an excep tion Augusta has the poorest kept streets of any city of its size I know of, and believe me 1 have visited a lot of them. Some of our citizens claim the near beer saloons do no good to the city, I therefore suggest that the good city council vote for the “surplus revenue” derived from this source in payment of licenses be expended in fixing up our streets and I think after they have spent the next eigthy-seven thous and dollars in this way we will all Ree a big change In the looks of our thoroughfares, The streets we have now are a dls and being repulsed by her, abducts her and carries her off to the Eagles’ Eyrie. Lancer and Anemone have met and have felt an irresistible at traction for each other. When Ane mone flndes Lancer at the Eyrie, she begs him to save her and send her back to the valley. But with the wild daring of his clan, Lancer tells her he intends to have her for himself, fights Fisher for her, and conquers. Anemone marries Lancer to have her aunt from paying the immense ran som Fisher would exact for her re turns, but tells Lancer she hates him —and finally convinces, him that she does. In anger, Lancer replies that he will never speak a word of love to her unUl she asks him to, and they live in the Eyrie as strangers. Fisher shoots Lancer and lays the crime on Anemone. The wounded Lancer de mands that Anemone be returned In safety to her aunt, declaring she Is Innocent. Anemone learns that the sheriff is leading a posse up to the Eyrie to attack the Mornes, who have been betrayed by the traitor, Fisher, and she returns to lead the clan against the representative of the law, for she has learned to hive Lancer and now longs to be hereelf considered an “Eagle." fihe reaches the clan in time to warn them, and the baffled posse returns. Anemone’s aunt, at the crucial moment loyal to the Mornes, comes to the Eyrie and shows them through the action of the traitor, Fisher, the folly of outlawry and Its inevitable end. Lancer, now the ac knowledged leader, through the sweet Influence of the noble little Anemone, recognizes the truth of his aunt’s words. The Mornes promise no lon ger to rebel against their state. Lan cer and his bride begin their honey moon in the Eyrie, and Anemone Is at last truly happy as the Eagle's mate. At the Grand Monday, matinee and evening.

HOMWTIE 1 ABOUT EVEN The Zeppelin Has Proven of Little Use Except in Bomb- Dropping---Service Highly Developed Paris,—The honors of the air are about even in the campaign so far. Per haps a little advantage lies with the Invaders. But the Zeppelin, the great German dirigibles, have proved of little use except in bomb-dropping. Tile English and FYench have learned a great deal about the enemies' move ments with their own dirigible balloons, although these have not been used for bomb throwing. The aeroplane service of both sides Is so highly developed that the surprise at tack has been practically eliminated from warfare. Sir John French in an official report, praises his aeroplane squadron and de clares that they have kept him con stantly Informed of tne movements of the Germans. The French fast mono planes make long journey* to Germany and the German Tabes Penetrate into the Interior of hVance. The war has proved one thing: That an aeroplane flying a mile high is prac tically safe from both rifles and artillery. Not one hit is made for five or ten thou sand shots, and when reaching its mark, the spent bullet usually Inflicts only mi nor damage. The German aeroplanes are many of them completely armored be low. Several battles in the air between aeroplanes have been reported. The story that Roland Garros in an aeroplane rammed a Zeppelin and brought the crew and himself to destruction has been denied, but such Incidents are to be ex pected because the French aviators have all taken an oath to dash into the first Zeppelin they sight. The most stirring incident so fur was the act of a Russian aviator to rt-ash into a German filer, bringing both to destruction. PROTEST WINE TAX. Washington,—More protests were lodged with the ways and means com mittee democrats today against the proposed tax on domestic wines in the war revenue bill. Chairman Under wood announced, however, there was no disposition to change the plan of taxing them, and the committee de cided to increase the tax on dry wines to fourteen cents a gallon, to equalize It with the 20 cents proposed for sweet wines.
