THE PHOTO-PLAY AT
THE GRAND LAST
NIGHT
Mary Pickford, playing the leading
part in “The Eagle's Mate,” a 5-reel
photo-play, presented by Daniel Froh
iran, simply captivated the entire
house at the Grand last evening—the
opening of Paramount Pictures in Au
gusta.'
The opening of the “movie" season at
the Grand was a perfect success from
every standpoint,
for all.
Manager Tant has received many
congratulations from his friends who
witnessed the pictures last night. One
gentleman, a prominent minister,
stated that the scheme was a novel
one, something entirely new to Au
gusta, and it pleased him Immensely.
The manner of exhibiting the pic
tures is entirely the idea of Manager
Tant, and it in Itself was the occas
ion of favorable comment on all sides.
Five men were required to put on
the picture Muqday night and every
detail,’ carefully planned ahead of
time, was worked out to perfection.
It will be recalled that not n moment
is lost in dropping the curtain at the
end of the act, thus not exposing for
a second the blank white screen, upon
which the pictures are shown.
- Then the idea of showing the pic
tures in three acts, giving two inter
missions, as was the case last night,
is a good one. It affords periods of
rest for the audience, Just as the in
termission in a regular play.
The Next Picture.
The next picture Manager Tant will
offer will be “The Only Son,” pre
sented by the well-known Jesse L.
J.asky, in which Thos. W. Ross takes
the leading role. This will be shown
here Thursday afternoon, matinee at
3:30 o’clock, and Thursday evening at
8:30, same prices. It is another high
class feature film, only a few weeks
out of the big theaters in New York.

A Few Lengthy Visits From
Jup. Pluvius Welcome Just
Now, Forecast “Fair”
The first forecast in several days
that has even as much as intimated
showers in this section of the state,
was issued by Forecaster E. D. Em
igh Tuesday morning.
It will be partly cloudy Tuesday
night, and according to the weather
man's “dope” the fair weather that
has now run since the middle of last
week will be broken Wednesday.
The amount of rain that did fall last
week was so precious little that thw
great deficiency—the absence of rain
in Augusta amounts to more than 13
inches since the first of the year—
was interfered with but very slightly.
Wince the first of September the defi
ciency in rainfall is 2 Inches.

one of the best delivered during the
series of meetings.
THREE MACON MEN
ARRESTED IN AUTO
Drove Down to Augusta Sun
day in Machine Alleged to
Belong to A. T. Harrison, of
Macon.
Early Monday night the Augusta po
lice force, assisted by the South Ca
rolina authorities, effected the arrest
of the three young men from Macon
who were reported as having an auto
mobile in their possession to which
thjy had no lawful claim. Yesterday
nfternoon's paper mentioned the fact
that they were being trailed.
Their names are J. M. Ray, J. M.
Mapp and C. C. Wilder.
Early Sunday morning a long dis
tance telephone call came to Lieuten
ant McArdle at police headquarters
from Mr. A. T. Harrison of the Coca-
Cola Bottling Works In Macon, who
reported that his machine, a five-pas
senger Hup, was missing, and describ
ed the three boys who he believed
had driven the machine away from
his place of business. He had reason
to believe they were on the way to
Augusta. Ho gave the number of the
car as 7138.
Orders were read out to the police
to arrest the three boys, and Monday
afternoon Policemen Mathews and
Blackwell caught the first one, J. M.
Ray, on an outgoing Aiken car.
' The South Carolina authorities were
informed to be on the look-out for the
other two, and early Monday night
telephoned from Langley that they had
J. M. Mapp and C. C. Wilder under
arrest.
The automobile was found later, with
box axles broken and other damage
amounting to some S3OO, on the side
of the road near Langley, S. C.
The two young men were brought to
Augusta Monday night on the 10
o’clock Aiken car and locked up In the
guard house with their colleague, Rrv
The three seemed to take their incar
ceration lightly and were only con
cerned to know when they would be
sent back to Macon.
The young man named Ray stated
to the police that he had taken tho
car because he got all “shot up" and
wanted some excitement. He met
Mapp and Wilder, he said, while driv
ing about the streets of Macon and tho
three decided to look over Augusta
together.
They were sent back to Macon on the
early Georgia Railroad train Tuesday
morning.

IN Gin COURT
Motion For Non-Suit in the
Case of Mrs. Jwofski Vs.
Riverside Mills Not Granted.
Mrs. John Jwofskl's damage suit
against the Riverside Mills Is still
occupying the city court.
Monday afternoon, when the last of
the six witnesses for the plaintiff had
been heard, the defense entered a mo
tion for a non-suit, contending that the
attorneys for the plaintiff had failed
to make out a case.
The motion was argued all Monday
afternoon, and the argument was car
ried on into Tuesday morning. At
about noon Judge Eve, however, re
fused to non-suit the case, and the
witnesses for the defense were called
to the stand, beginning with Mr. Geo.
R. Stearns, president of the Riverside
Mills.
Ho far the examination of witnesses
has dealt with nothing but the question
of the slipperiness and danger of the
floor over which the late Jwofski slip
ped, or stumbled, when he was thrown
into the moving belt that cut off his
head. Three witnesses for the defense
had been examined when the court ad
journed for the dinner-hour.

FEEDING MEN ON
THE EIDING LINE
Every Array Has Administra
tion Department Charged
With Distribution of Certain
Supplies
rt Is useless to collect together a
vast multitude of fighting men unless
they ean bo fed, for the human ma
chine requires fuel Just as ' certainly
oh any mechanical motor. Something
about tho preparations that must bo
taken in tills respect ds told in the
special war supplement, of the Scien
tific American of September sth, as
follows:
To provide for the wants of the
troops every army has one or more
administrative departments charged
with the procuration, custody, and
distribution of certain varieties of
supplies which are essential to keep
the troops In health and strength, and
which provide thorn nt nil times with
everything lliat Is Indispensable for
the furtherance of ths plun of cam
paign.
In forming a plan of supply for a
particular campaign the following
points must bo carefully considered:
the resources of the theater of war
and the facility stf utilising the same;
the time of climate; the na
j ture of the war, whether offensive or
' defensive; lire length of the lino of
communications; the rapidity of the
movements, the propinquity of the eno
my; and the temper of the inhabi
tants.
Supplies.
Tbe national country must provide
♦he supplies for Its armies. Tilts ts
particularly important now, hh it has
been held that provisions and food
stuffs of ordinarily Innocent use,
Which are usually only conditionally
contraband, rmiy become absolutely
contraband of war when actually and
especially destlried/for ihe military or
| naval forces of a belligerent.
The right, of armies io take from the
1 country all that they require for their
' sustenance Is indisputable, though we
i usually understand the expression
I “living upon tlie country" lias direct
application to an enemy’s country.
Military necessity, as understood tiy
all civilised nations, permits the en
forcement in an enemy's country of all
those measures which are Indispen
sable to facilitate and assist In the
conduct of tho war, and which are
lawful according to the modern law
and usages of war.
Study of Rssources.
The preparation, therefore, must
extend to an elaborate study of the
resources of the home country anil of
a probable theater of operations. In
some of the great powers this work Is
carried out through the co-operation
of the various civil authorities whose
duty It Is to make Instant report of
any change In Ihe supply situation In
their district. Statistical data imd
supply maps ar* prepared showing:
The principal production of Ihe
country; the distribution of the avail
able resources; the importance of the
last iiarvest; the amount of the ex
ports of same; the amount locally
consumed; the number and kind of
meat cattle; tho number, motive pow
er, dally capacity, and location of the
flour mills; tbe number and average

location of the abattoirs and meat
packing establishments; the number
of draft animals; the means of trans
portation, railways, steamboat, and

the number of the Inhabitants, urban
and rural; the character of the Im

AUGUSTA SHAKEN
BY EARTHQUAKE
At 2:10 a. m. a Distinct
Shiver Ran Through the
Ground East and West.
One of the most distinct earthquake
shocks which has been felt in Augus
ta for many years shook the city
Tuesday morning shortly after two
o’clock. The oxnct hour 1s given at 2.10 a.
m. by several citizens who were
awakened from sleep and noted the
time.
Tin' shook was sufficient to awaken
all light sleepers from East Boundary
to tho Arsenal. Home describe the
sensation as a severe Jolting which
shook the lied and rattled all the ar
ticles in (lie room. Others record a
great trembling and shuddering, like
that caused by the passing of a heavy
trunk In Ihe street. Some say that they
felt n distinct rocking sensation in a
direction running east and weßt. The
latter is noteworthy, since all earth
quakes noted here hitherto hav* tend
ed north and south.
The duration of the shock is given
as from five to eight seconds,—long
enough to lie disconcerting. There was
time' to wake up, to realise it was an
earthquake, and further to note that
it was still going on.
One gentleman thought It was Von
Kluck’s army trying to take the house
by nsnult. He had scarcely had time
to get Ids gun, however, when it quiet
ed down. The sensation was so vivid,
nevertheless, that he did not return to
bed until he had made a tour of In
spection, and only then yielded his
conviction owing to tho sarcasm of
his wife. This morning afler break
fast he was seen furtively loklng In
the shrubbery around the house.

REDUCTION ON
COTTON RATE
Inter State Commerce Com
mission Order in Effect
Henceforth. To Cause Much
More Cotton From Carolina
Points to Oome to Augusta.
The new rates made by the Inter
state Commerce Commission for ship
ments of cotton from South Carolina
points on the Southern Railway to Au
gusta should have gone Into effect
September let. However, according
to Augusta cotton men the Southern
has been charging the old rate, which
Is three cents per 100 pounds higher
than the new rate.
The Augusta Cotton Exchange of
ficers called on Mr. FI. G. Kulhflelsch,
their attorney, Tuesday morning and
l-formed hint that the new rates had
not been put on. Mr. Kalfhlelsch
took the matter up with the road and
was Informed that It had not been
put on through an oversight and that
the additional charge on each hale of
ootton since September Ist would ba
refunded.
AVhen ihe <ase was heard before tha
rnter-fitata Commerce Commission Mr.
Kalbflelsch. as attorney for the Cot
ton Exchange, charged that on Sep
tember 23rd, 190 ft, the Southern Rail
way arbitrarily raised the rate on cot
ton from Carolina points to Augusta
three cents per 100 pounds, thus dis
criminating against this city In favor
of Charleston and Savannah. The
commission decided the case In favor
of Hie Cotton Exchange and declared
that any rate In excess of that exist
ing prior to September 23rd, 1909, was
excessive
The reduction of the rate, or rather
the restoration of the rate existing
prior to September 23rd, 1909, is ex
pected to cause Augusta to get a great
deal more cotton from Carolina polnta
than for the pact four years.
