TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 XMLDIEi s S PM AT MHE HIT TUESDAY ON NEXT TUESDAY CHILDREN WILL BE ADMITTED FREE AT THE FAIR The Georgia-Carolina Fair Will Throw Open Its Gates to the Children of Georgia and South Carolina. Tuesday of next week will be “f'liil dron’s Day” at the Georgia-Carolina Fair, which will open Monday and close Friday. Superintendent of Schools Lawton B. Evans has just issued a general order providing for the dismissal of pupils in all of the city schools next Tuesday at 1 o'clock. This, he says, will give them ample time to spend at the fair. There has recently been some com plaint heard about the public school children in Augusta getting too maqv FEARLESS FRENCH LION TRAINER WITH LEON WASHBURN’S SHOWS Will be at the Georgia-Carolina Fair Next Week. It is Won derful How the Lions Warm up to Her and Become Docile. Madame Pauline, the fearless French trainer in the great Wild Animal Arena of the Leon Washburn Shows, which will be here as the feature of the fair of October 19th to 24th, chats most interestingly on the subjugation and education of her savage pupils. She has had years of experience with them and knows whereof she %peaks. “Animals, both wild and domestic,” she says, "have instinct or if you please call it intelligence. For in stance the most savage lion just out of the jungles of Africa, will go into a perfect frenzy when a man comes near his cage, but by leaving him alone, with a curtain around the cage, so the animal is practically in soli tary confinement, leave him without food or water for 24 hours and then let no one approach him but his train er with food and drink. It does not take him long to realize that the per son is his ‘meal ticket’ so to speak, and it is wonderful how li6 warms up to him and becomes docile. In the training of the animals it must he first considered that they do not know the meaning of one word from LAST CHANCE TO SEE MARY PICKFORD AT THE STRAND, FORMERLY BONITA The four words of the title voice the opinion of Augusta motion picture-goers, in regard to IVJary Pickford, tho charm ing little heroine of the production a# the Strand (formerly the Bonita). Words are practically inadequate to describe her, as she appears here, but both in the picture and in real life she is Just “Such a Little Queen.” But the picture, which is the product of the brain of Charming Pollock, does more than boast the presence of this little lady. It might be defined as a romantic comedy-drama, producing heartiest and enthusiastic laughs in scores of places, yet through all there is an und:rlying touch of romance, and al most of pity, on the spectators’ part, for her majesty, who is forced for po litical reasons to flee to America. Supporting the staV is Carlyle Black well, as the Bosnian prince, who for political reasons is also forced to flee his kingdom. Bussell Bassett, as the proud prime minister calls for many a roar of laughter, when he is placed in the same serio-hurnorous situation as his mistress. Harold Lockwood as a typical American business man, appears in a role well suited to him. Arthur Hoops as Prince Eugene, the only heavy of the piay, has a small part. The rest Many Rotary Dollars Did Good Work on “Pay a Debt Day” Rotary dollars began coming in on Monday morning, like the first robins of the season. As the day wore on, more and more appeared, until this morning the big flock swept down on The Herald office through the U. S Mail. Hike those same little birds, the Rotary dollars had been out in the world, nested, laid, hatched and accomplished the allotted task, and then flown home again to roost for the winter. They seem in some measure also to have carried out the Parable of the Rower. Some undoubtedly fell by the wayside. Dr. W. C. Ryle paid two to somebody who kept and guarded them NO MORE THE BONITA; IT’S NOW THE STRAND Prizes Awarded Yesterday. Takes Same Name a 3 Big Theater in New York, Where the Greatest Photo-Plays Are Shown. It is The Strand now, not the Bo nita! The Judges. Messrs. H. H. Morrle, C. B. Hanson and T. C. Bryan, chosen to select the best and most appropri ate name for the motion picture the atre on the seven hundred block of Broad street, formerly known as the Bonita, whose management has Just passed into the hands of Messrs. Sparks and Schrameek, announced their decision ip the matter at f< o'clock Monday afternoon. The decision was in favor of the "Isis," but the name "Strand" was preferred by the managers and has been adopted. The prize of $lO. how - ever. went to Sirs. J. W. Swinfortl. of 266 Broad street, who submitted the name decided upon by the Judges There were six people to send In the name "The ytrand" and the manage ment of the theater has awarded Co holidays. It is on this account, and the desire of Mr. Evans himself to see that there are not too many hol idays given, that the established cus tom of giving the school children a full holiday to attend the fair is broken. It is useless to say that there will be hundreds and hundreds of girls and boys at the fair next Tuesday. They won’t miss It. All school children on Tuesday will he admitted to the grounds free of charge. » another but simply recognize sounds. By that I mean that when you com mand a lion to lie down, he only does so because, he associates that sound with your action in making him lie down. If you said instead ‘Stand up' and then made him lie down, he would do so just as readily at the contrary order. Animals also respond to oues. For instance you can teach a lion to do any one act at a certain signal. Raising your hand or whip, etc. Ani mals also work their performances by routine and it is impossible to cut out one detail of that performance. The very minute you do the animal be comes confused and don’t know what to do. Many trainers are attacked by animals they are training by rea son of their impatience. The animal does not understand what is wanted of it and the trainer loses patience and gets brutal and a grand mix up is the result. The only thing to do when you find your savage pupil get ting cross and ugly is to get out of the cage and let him alone awhile. Then go hack and he will work most willingly.” of the cast enact their parts excellently, and together with the pricipals form a remarkably well balanced picture.

Bertha Kallch the international star, portrays the lead ing- role. Mme. Kalich is the latest star the Famous Players have recruited from the legitimate stage to the screen, in "Mar tha of the Lowlands” she makes her debut into th field of motion pictures, in a production that well deserves her fame and her remarkable histrionic ability. It has been a long time since a picture such as this has made its appearance. Perhaps in less skillful hands it might be offensive, as the story is very deli cate and lias to be dealt with in a cor responding manner, but it comes far from being offensive as it is told in this picture. carefully and returned them to the Herald unspotted and untarnished first thing Monday morning.

Altogether the dollars accomplish ed a great number of transactions, though not as many as ten apiece on an average as was hoped they might.

Resolutions of sympathy for Mr. Walter A Clark, camp historian, who is seriously 111, were adopted at the regular quarterly meeting of Camp 435, United Confederate Veterans, last night.

CAMPAIGN ON TO HELP TILL STATE II Enthusiastic Meeting of Augus ta Business Men Held at the Genesta Hotel Monday Night After Delightful Luncheon. Eighty-four of Augusta's business men met last night at the Hotel Ge nesta for a Dinner Conference on the Work of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The meeting was en thusiastic from the beginning. The after-dinner speakers were Mr. G. I. Walker of Atlanta, a member of the State Executive Committee; Mr. B. G. Alexander of Knoxville, Tenn., a member of the International Commit tee. who with Mr. J. V. Read, the state secretary, laid before the men the work of the association in Georgia and Florida. The facts as presented shCTced that the State Committee had in the past years not been able to cope with the work on account of the rapid growth, and that if the present policy was continued that the association already established might suffer for want of proper supervision, and that those places where new as sociations ought to he established, would not get the right kind of at tention. Force Inadequate. For the past ten years the State Committee has had but one man in the field, and he has not been able to properly take care of all the calls made on him for advice and assist ance. Last spring at a conference of the association men held at Macon, it was decided that a larger policy and plan for the state work should be put into effect, and it was then decided that a budget amounting to $16,000 should be raised in the two states and that two or three new additional men should he added to the state force. The plan called for a canvas of every city where associations are located, and that the amount should be in pro portion to the size and other condi tions. $1,200 From Augusta. The proportionate amount for Au gusta on this basis is $t,200 and by the following resolution, introduced by Mr. Jas. M. Hull, it was decided by those present to enter immediately into a canvas in Augusta to raise this amount: “Whereas, it is evident that the splendid work of the Young Men's Christian Association, now organized in our state needs additional strength ening in order to enable It to reach our young men and boys in larger numbers and with greater effect; and "Whereas, such strengthening in the case of many associations is not possible under present conditions, and perhaps never will he, except as done in a co-operative way through the state committee; and "Whereas, the young men and hoys in many unorganized cities should re ceive attention that is not now possi ble; therefore be it "Resolved, That we Indorse the po sition taken by the association leaders in the state last April, and, according ly, Join hands for a short campaign to at once secure subscriptions for the proportion of the enlarged state work budget allotted to our city.” HOTEL ARRIVALS Holbrau Hotel.

Public Mind To The Herald: I wish to call 'the attention of the proper authorities to a grade crossing on the Central Railroad several miles from the city. It should be fixed as any automobile in the world going over it often will be fit for the junk heap soon. It is on a road which runs from the Old Savannah to the. new Savannah road. This road goes off from the old Savannah about a mile beyond Mr. Dan Bowles’ place, right where Mr. Jacob l’hinlzy has built a new barn on a place he re cently purchased. I am sure that It is a public road. I do not know whether the county or the railroad should do the work but some one should. Going up the crossing an in cline of at least 45 to 50 degrees, one finds at the top a crossing which is ho rouph as to tear up any automo bile, buggy or other vehicle that strikes it. I hope that the proper authorities will take immediate action. RONG SUFFERING. HELP! PROTECTION! JUSTICE! To the Herald: Shame on you for letting somebody else write under my non-de-plume!

Sheriff Peter Crawford, of Columbia county, was In the city Tuesday and told a reporter of the shooting. Mr. Blanchard was shot In the leg, the arm and the shoulder. It is believed that he will recover. It seems that the two men lmd had some words the day before and Pearre took a pistol from one of his son-in law’s house and shot Mr. Blanchard when he passed by the blacksmith’s shop.

THE “ACME” PLAY AT THE GRAND LAST NIGHT “The Port of Mipsins Men,” which was presented to two full-sized houses yesterday afternoon and night at the Grand, is a film of a somewhat dif ferent typo than those previously pro duced by the Famous Players Film Company. Its setting is entirely for eign, and the film tells a tale of roy alty and plots to defraud the rightful heir to the throne that brings a new note into their work. The play l« full of action and should prove inter esting to the picture audience of the higher class. This film concern was exceedingly fortunate in obtaining the use of the Gould estate in Lakewood, N. J., for taking the exteriors. The grounds are beautiful and fit in with the tone of the story exceedingly well. In the chief role Arnold Daly, a prominent star of the legitimate stage, proves an attractive Armitage, a worthy friend of Frederick, the heir to the throne of Etruria. The claim of Frederick to the throne of Etruria is opposed by the Arch duchess in behalf of her illegitimate son. The story deal* with the at tempts of the Archduchess and her partners to defraud Frederick Augus tus. The Archduke, his son, and John Armitage, his friend, who 1h the son of the Prime Minister go to America, where they plan to wait until they are summoned by Emperor Augustus as a sign that he accepts their claims. Many exciting scenes follow, filled with attempted murders and love in terest, but. in the end, owing to the loyalty and bravery of John Armit age, Frederick Augustus is set upon the throne. As a. reward for his labors Armitage asks that he may be allowed to become a gentleman of private life and marry the American girl he has learned to love, Shirley Claiborne.—L Y. M. 0. A.

What the Plan of Mr. Festus J. Wade Really Is. President William Schwefgert of the Augusta (’leaping House Aossoclation, and Mr. K. A. Pendleton, cashier of the National Exchange Hank, left Tuesday afternoon for Atlanta to attend a con ference of the leading bankers of tin* South on the proposed $150,000,000 cot ton pool which has been projected by Festus J. Wade, president of the Mer cantile Trust Company of St. T,ouis and other prominent hankers. Under this plan $150,000,000 is to be subscribed by the hanks of lids country and one-third of the money is to he subscribed in the South. It is planned to lend six cents per pound, or SBO per hale, on 5.000,000 bales ol cotton for one year at seven per cent. Each subscriber to the fund in the South will got in return thtee times as much us the subscription. For In stance, If Augusta should subscribe sl,- 500,000 she would get back $4,500,000. However, Mr. Schweigert recently wired Mr. Festus J. Wade, In regard to Augusta subscribing to the fund, that tills city was tlie second largest Inland cotton mavket in the world and that the hanks of tills eity'should he the recelp lents of aid from the $150,000,000 pool and not a contributor thereto. As President of the Union Savings Bank, which does no cotton business, Mr. Schweigert did not go to Atlanta, but he has gone as a president o»f the Clearing House Association, representing all of the banka. The hanks of Augusta have plenty of money for legitimate business, but none for speculation, so the reporters glean from conversations with Augusta bank ers. .lust what will be the outcome of the conference In Atlanta, with regard to Augusta becoming a beneficiary of the money to bo raised by the pool can not be forecasted. mm f 7 f £ At Strand (Formerly Bonita) Mary Pickford, in “Such a Little Queen.” Oo you know of any other improvement you can make to your homo that will add so much to its intrinaio value at having it wired for aloe tricity 7 A PARAMOUNT PLAY AT THE STRAND TODAY Continuous After 10:S0 a. m.
