The Local Football Season Opens
Friday When Academy 11 Goes
lip Against Warrenton Gamecocks
The Gamecocks Are a Light But Scrappy Bunch and Are Ex
pected to Give a Good Account of Themselves---Absence
of “White” Davis and Rupert Will Cause Some Shifts in
the Cadets’ Line-Up.
The local football season will open to
morrow afternoon when the Richmond
Academy eleven goes up against the
Waived ton Gamecocks, the battle being
staged at Warren Park and scheduled to
begin at 3:30 o'clock.
Tile two teams met last Monday in
Warrenton and while the score was
rather one-sided, in favor of the A. R.
C., the game, from all accounts, was
most interesting. The Warrenton bunch
is light but scrappy; every man has
the do-or-die spirit. Then, too, they
will be greatly strengthened by the re
turn of their quarterback and captain
to the game. On the other hand, the
A. R. C. aggregation will be greatly
weakened by the absence of Captain
‘•White" Davis and possibly, Rupert.
Davie Injured,
Davis was injured in Monday’s game
and Coach Wilson is afraid to take the
risk of letting him play tomortw. Ru
pert lias a bad eye and will most likely,
stay out. The coaches do not intend
to take any chances on having any of
the regulars laid up at the time of tile
Riverside game.
Changes In Line-up.
Kennedy, who has played on the
ONE NIK WHO HAD
HOT HEARD OF MO
Said it Would Not Make Much
Difference to Him
Anyway
Speaking of the wealth, Intelligence
and aristocracy of our great and glor
ious country, a public speaker recently
told an almost unbelievable story of
an incident that occurred in an ad
joining state.
A farmer drove into town a lumber
wagon, with his family seated in the
rear. Counting the new member In
the arms of the buxom mother, the
total numbered an even dozen. After
leaving the oldest boy in charge of the
mule team, the father entered the
nearest store, followed by the
other members of the family While
explaining the cause of the in
creased price of some commodity call
ed for, the salesman 'mentioned the
war.
"War,'* replied the farmer, "why
what war?"
When told about the great European
conflict he said that he had not heard
of It, and he believed that he and his
wife and their ten children would live
Just as long if they never heard any
more about it. Anyway, he was not
interested in it, and if it was so far
away as Europe it would not cause
him any alarm.
Those who do not read the daily
newspapers cannot be expected to
keep up with the times. The Herald
is now making the most timely offer
ever presented to readers. It Is called
“The Nations at War" and is issued in
parts every two weeks. The entire
series will contain the complete story
of the great conflict in Europe, and
readers should not fall to get Part One
which is now ready. The coupon print
ed elsewhere In this issue explains the
plan of presentation.
ADDRESS OF MR. ROWLAND
HAS BEEN POSTPONED
The Augusta Presbytry to Ad
journ on Account of the In
clement Weather.
The address of Mr. C'. A. Rowland
of Athens, Ua., which was to be de
livered tonight at the Reid Memorial
church on the Hill has been postponed
on account of the Inclement weather.
This address was to be from Mr. Row
land's recent trip to the Orient In in
terest of foreign missions. The desire
,of Augusta presbytery, who Invited
Mr. Rowland to make this address
was that It should be heard by a large
nuniber of people to whom It would
have been of great Interest. For this
reason It was deferred until a more
convenient time as to weather condi
tions.
Due to the deferring of thle address
Augusta presbytery will adjourn this
afternoon, having been In session since
Tuesday evening.
• The next meeting will take plec?
in May at M< .lttcello, Ua.
the Richmond Academy will be played.
On Friday of fair week there will be
excellent automobile races.
The amusement feature of the fair
will be better taken care of than ever
before.
Don’t forget that there will be cheap
rates on all railroads to the Georgia-
Carolina Fair next week. The attend
ance should be magnificent and from
all over this section of Georgia and
South Carolina there will be thous
ands of people to come.
Epsilon Pill team for the past two or
three years, has come out for the team
and may be in condition to work out to
morrow. Though light, Kennedy is tin
experienced player and will add strength
to the team. He plays either at end
or in the backfield.
The absence from the game of Davis
and Rupert will cause some shifts in
the line-up. Martin will he brought back
from left tackle to take Davis’ place,
DeVaughn will probably take left tackle,
and Field will likely tike Rupert’s place
at left guard, Armentrnut will be hack
at left end. It is likely that every
available man on the squad will be given
a tryout.
Admission Prices.
Price of admission will he 50 cents for
men, 25 cents for ladies and boys. The
playing field will be Imped off and the
side line spectators will lie on the far
side of the field. This makes u pos
sible for those who so desire to sit in
the stands and enjoy an uninterrupted
view of the game.
Every sport-loving person In Augusta
is deeply interested in Academy athletics
and no doubt an unusually large num
ber will be on hand to size up the 1914
football team.

1. WALTER A.
CLAIMED ON
THURSDAY A. Nl.
One of Richmond County’s
Most Highly Esteemed Gentle
men Passed Away---A Con
federate Veteran and An Au
thor---Funeral Friday.
Tributes to Mr. Walter A. Clark.
"No braver soldier ever shoul
dered a musket, no nobler man
ever trod the soil of Georgia. I
have never heard a man speak
aught but good of Walter Clark,
Some one asked me if he left his
family any mpney and I replied
that 1 didn't suppose he did, but
that he left something infinitely
better,—a good name."—Captain
Geo. F. Lamback, Commander,
Camp 436, United Confederate
Veterans.
"He was the most cultured man,
excepting none, connected with
Richmond county’s government.
He was modest, retiring and never
self-assertive. No belter man ever
lived."—Judge Wm. F. Eve.
“He was the whitest man in the
state of Georgia."—Mr. A, B.
Saxon.
In the death of Mr. Walter A. Clark
at his residence on Telfair street at
2:15 o’clock Thursday morning Augus
ta and Richmond county lose one of
the most sterling citizens that ever a
community was blessed with. For
years Mr. Clark had been in none too
robust health, and he was never physi
cally strong, but for the past five
mouths his remaining vitality has been
gradually ebbing until the end came
at an early hour Thursday. He was
surrounded by members of his family
who lavished on him the tender care
that he so richly deserved. No better
diagnosis of his case could be pro
nounced than to say he was Just “worn
out," the fragile body had carried a
buoyant nature for 72 years and re
fused to carry It longer and now the
gentle, kindly old man is at rest.
The above expressions from com
rades of Mr. Clark In Camp 435 of the
United Confederate veterans of Au
gusta are of such a beautiful nature
that no extended eulogy by a reporter
could begin to express Just what these
gentlemen have said in a few short
sentences. However, may this asser
tion be ventured that no sweeter, gen
tler spirit ever abided in a man.
Born at Brothersvillo,
Mr. Clark was born at Brothersville,
near Hephzibah, 72 years ago, the son
of a prominent citizen of that com
munity. When prepared for college he
entered Emory at Oxford, Ga., gradu
ating with first honor. Indeed, It is
said of him that he was ready to grarl
date so young that the faculty induced
his parents to let him remain another
year.
When the war between the states
broke out Mr. Clark enlisted as a
member of Company A (Oglethorpes),
of the Third Georgia Regiment. Ho
fought for four years and there war
no better soldier in the Southern Con
federacy's armies than he.
Mr. Clara was a member of the
Georgia legislature from Richmond
county between 1870 and 1875. After
retiring from his position as a legisla
tor he taught school for several years
at Pine Hill, in Richmond county.
Superintendent of County Roads.
Judge W. F. Eve, soon after be
coming judge of the city court and
commissioner of roads and revenues,
appointed Mr. Clnrk superintendent of.
county roads. After serving in this
capacity satisfactorily he was made
superintendent of the county home,
then coroner and when Judge W. M.
Dunbar was appointed postmaster Mr.
Clark was made assitant. He held
that position for four years.
More than 17 years ago he was ap
pointed by Jud&a Eve to be treasurer
of Richmond county, when there war
a vacancy In the office, and he has
been regularly elected to that position
ever since.
Mr. Clark was an author of distin
guished ability and had he directed hts
efforts toward the literary field to a
greater extent he could no doubt have
had an Independent income. He was
the author of "The Stare and Bars,”
“The Lost Arcadia,” poems and prose
miscellanies of various characters.
His sense of humor was cultivated co
the highest degree, yet his shafts were
so softened as to never leave a sting
Mr. Clark ia survived by his wlfa,
who wan Miss Bailie Rheney, and one
son and two daughters. Mr. Walter
E. Clark is his son and his daughters
are Mrs. G. B. Duke, Jr„ and Mrs. E.
B. Peacock, lie is also survived by
a brother, Mr Sarauel R. Clark, of
Hephslbah, and one slater, Miss El’a
Clark, also of Hephzlbuh.
The funeral services will be held
from the Ht. John Methodist churen
Friday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Mr.
H. P. Wiggins will officiate. Mr. Clark
was a devoted member of that church
and a Christian gentleman. The In

Read It, Then See It This Evening
Mme. Bertha Kallch, the celebrated
international star, is being geen at Tho
Strand today and tonight in "Marta
of the Lowlands," a production of
Charles Frohman,
It Is a PARAMOUNT PICTURE of
five reels and is a powerful and sym
pathetic drama of tragic human ex
periences.
Here Is a synopsis of the story;
read it, then go to Tho Htrnnd this
evening without fail and see this re
markable production:
In “Marta of the Lowlands,” Mme.
Kallch’s supreme dramatic triumph,
that gifted emotional actress portrays
a role that will live forever ns one of
the greatest demonstrations of panto
mimic art ever recorded on tho screen.
There is something stately, austere,
terribly beautiful about her attitude
throughout th» role. The play was
written by Angel Gulmera, the dis
tinguished Spanish author, and, be
sides Its powerful dramatic qualities,
Is full of the poetry and color which
permeate the emotions and tho very
existence of mountain people.
Marta Is a beggar child, who is
adopted by Sebastian, the wealthy
land-owner. Sebastian makes Marta
his victim. He wishes to marry n
wealthy woman, but at the game time
retain his Influence over Marta. Ho
therefore arrange* through Tomas, the

the .Savannah River water shed above
Augusta, and, according to Forecaster
Ernlgh, Indicate a sufficient precipi
tation up the river to cause a rise of
Hix or seven feet in the stage here by
Friday morning.
These are glad tidings to the power
and navigation Interests of this sec

low to operate boats below Augusta,
and there has not been enough flow
for the mills to have water power,

It is possible that the present cloudy,
rainy, disagreeable weather marks the
change of seasons; that there will be
cooler weather from now on into the
winter. Although the weather rnj.n
doesn’t say that, he does admit that
probably cool weather will prevail af
ter the rain.
The forecast is for "rein and cooler
weather tontght; Friday partly
cloudy.”
The average dally temperature for
the past few weeks has been several
degrees above the normal. Thursday
It was practically stationery on ac
count of cloudiness. The mercury
hung lazily around the sixties and
seventies.
The rainfall In Augusta from 8 a. m.

Mme. Kallch makes Marta a patient

by the ruthless "master.'' We witness

Mr. William Hchweigert, president of

of the National Exchange llank, have
returned from Atlanta, where they at
tended on Wednesday the conference
of Georgia bankers regarding the
1160,000,000 pool. The bankers of
Georgia decided to go Into th pool.
However, on Thursday morning Mr.
Hchweigert received a telegram from
Mr. I'Vfitus J. Wade, president of tfie
Mercantile Trust Company of Bt.

In which a number of changes are
made In the conditions.
It Is believed that the changes will
be for the better and the weak spots
In the original plan which were not
as strong as they could have been
made, were strengthened. At least
this is the opinion of Augusta bank

Whether or not another conference

be held to consider the new condi

DEEP SIGNIFICANCE ATTACHED
TO THE VISIT OF MEMBERS OF
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAVANNAH
Entertained By the Augusta
Club With Barbecue at Car
michael’s and Dinner of
Sixty-Five Covers at the Al
bion
ARRIVED ON NOON TRAIN IN
SPECIAL CAR, LEAVING
AT 9:40
Col. J. Rice Smith, the Speaker
of the Evening, Was Invited
By the Savannah Delegation
to Be Speaker When the Au
gusta Club Goes to Savannah
on Thanksgiving Day
Wednesday at 12:30 the Rotary Club
of Augusta gathered in a body at the
union station to meet the members of
the Savannah Club, who came up in
a special car, under the wing of Bill
Huckett of the Central of Georgia Rail
road, lo be present at 'Rally Day."
The delegation was invited lo Augusta
In a measure to "initiate” the newly
formed Augusta club, which la the
newest (the "baby") club In the Inter
national Association of Rotary Clubs.
Until tho special car left with them on
the 9:40 train, the day was devoted to
feasting and sight-seeing, In a way
peculiar to the Itotary Club, which Is
able to combine business with plea
sure.
Each member of the Savannah club
wore a. large round badge, on which
were printed his name and occupation,
besides a broad red ribbon on hia
sleeve inscribed "Savannah.” Intro
ductions urn superfluous among Ro
turluns. They nil know each other
fairly well before they ever meet.
Consequently, as Boon as (he party ar
rived, it was absorbed into the Au
gusta crowd with no formality what
ever and tucked into the waiting auto
mobiles to be driven about the city.
Twenty-three members of the Sa
vannah club accepted the invitation;
President John Banks, Bob, his broth
er; Bob Young, Walter Kassel, Pierce
Wheeiess, Charles Hippie, Willard Van
Ness, I. Hlatrr Call, Walter Metzer,
John Bluiu, Frank Bloat, Charles Rich
ards, Wilbur Coney, Leslie Fowler,
Cornelius Snedeker, Charles Beck, Ju
lius Kaufman, George ButlcV, Frank
Dasher, John Hutton, Wllllngton Btarr,
Bob Eaton and Bam Payne.
The first sight which the visitors
were shown was the new inedh-al de
partment and the hospitals, through
which the whole crowd was conducted
by Drs. Wilfred Lyle and Hugh Page.
It was a revelation as much to most
of the Augusta men as to the visitors.
Not one who had not previously been
through the enormous institution hud
the remotest idea of its magnitude Hiui
wonderful equipment. A gnat many
expressed themselves astounded "that
such an Institution existed In the state
of Georgia, or in the whole Houth.”
More than an hour was consumed In
going through the great property.
The party then repaired, by devious
ways, to Carmichael's Club (for the
direct road la in the ruthless hands of
the chain gang at the moment) and
arrived there with very few casualties,
considering the skldsomeness of thn
said devious ways. The ruin, however,
did not Interfere materially with the
plans of the day. A barbecue was
served at 2:30, under the direction of
George Claussen, chairman of the en
tertainment committee, which was
probably the most elaborate spread
ever put up nt Carmichael’s; the menu
looked like the Index to a cook-book.
Everybody was practically incapaci
tated afterwards, but purring. It is
safe to say that there has never been
a better 'cue. Fifty odd partook of
It.
Afterwards the party split up and
went sight-seeing again. Home were
taken through the Brewery by Am
brose Hchweers, others to the new
plant of the Southern Rubber and Tire
Works, tlie latter conducted by Weems
Smith. A few motorsful went driving
about the Hill, to the Country Club,
etc.
Dinner at the Albion whs booked
for 7 o’clock, however, and there was
not much time.
Protesting against having to eat
again, and vowing that it would be
Impossible, the gentlemen from Sav
annah were seated to a second ban
quet around the Rotary table at the
Albion and the formal meeting of the
day was opened by President James
M. Hull, Jr. There were 85 Rotarlans
present.
Various members from both cities
were heard from, among whom was
President John Ranks, of Kavannah,
who expressed the thanks of the vis
itors for their hospitable reception,
and Invited the Augusta Club to bo
their guests on Thanksgiving He
also presented, in the name of the
Bavannah delegation, a beautiful lit
tle gold pin in the form of a wheel,
the national emblem of the Rotary
Club, designed for Mrs. James M.
Hull, Jr.
At length- the time came for which
all the Augusta men were waiting,
the speech of the evening by Colonel
J. Rice Bmltb, He made, as usual, a
truly splendid talk, witty, humorous
and brilliantly eloquent. He so en
tirely took his audience by storm, that
the Bavannah men, with one accord,
urged him to be the speaker of the
occasion for the Thanksgiving Day
gathering.
Altogether the day was a great and
remarkable success, and the signifi
cance of it is untold.
To see sixty-five active and hard
working business men take an entire
day off and devoto it to the promo
tion of a scheme, especially when
these sixty-five are chosen from the
most active and the hardest-working
men of two cities, and wtien twenty
three of their number have traveled
four hours in order to take the day
off and four houra back again; to see
each man stop everything, leaves his
office, bis business or Ills practlc i,
and give up the whole day to thla pur
pose, gives one n convincing Idea of
the weight which the scheme must
carry.
The spirit pervading the Rotary
movement is one which every man
SEVEN
can feel, none can express It. And
yet it is as definite as It Is Intangible.
It Is shown rather In actions than In
words. To say that the object of a
Rotary Club Is to promote trust and
co-operation among the inhabitants of
a city, to foster civic improvement,
to pull together for the general wel
fare, etc., etc., becomes In print a mere
succession of slock phrases, which, ov
the very frequency with which the like
have been repeated in various connec
tions, leave the brain unconvinced.
Tho Importance and real underlying
strength of the Rotary movement will
be made manifest In deeds, and until
then it is of no avail to oppress with
much talk. By your works shall ye
be Judged,
AT THE BIJOU
The new Keith vaudeville bill at the
Bijou went into effect with the mati
nee at 3:30 o'clock today. The next
shows will begin at 7:30 and 9:30 p.
m. Patrons coming In late for the
first show may wait and see the parts
missed in the second night’s perform
ance.
The headliner for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Is Rey Monde? Is “It”
a man or a woman? There have been
men Impersonators of women and wo
men impersonators of men. but he (or
she) has them all backed off the
map.
A clear idea of this act may be
gleaned from the following press no
tice: "First In point of merit on the
bill is Roy Monde? The question mark
Ik well used, for Rey Monde keeps
you guessing right to the finish of
the act whether a male or female per
son Is performing. A duet sung by
the one person in which both high
soprano ami deep baritone voices are
used, adds to the mystery.
Then besides Ray Monde, which act
In Itself Is worth the wholo price of
admission, there are two other fea
tures on the program which have been
playing the largest vaudeville house*
In tills part of the country.
Howard and Linder do a comedy
skit, “As Father Used to Say," that Is
Side-Splitting, It Is so laughable.
Harold Yates Is seen In "A Minia
ture Vaudeville Show.”
Tho pictures projected by the Bijou
scopo are really the best that have
been shown at the Bijou in some time.

lending role in the stage production
here several years ago, will be seen
in the leading part In "The Man of*
the Hour” at the Grand In the next
"Acme" play, which comes for mati
nee and evening on Wednesday, Oc
tober 21st.
The film is only two days old, and
fin account of its freshness and lack
of use should be unusually clear and
filckerless. Usually a film before
reaching Augusta ia from 80 to $0 days

There will he no “Acme" play at the
Grand on next Monday, a regular
"Acme” day, due to the fact that a .
regular traveling attraction is being j
shown Instead.
