SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24. m, Iffl &AKIM e POWDER Absolutely Pure Made from Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM GEORGIAN TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF AT GREENVILLE Greenville, S. C. —Despondent over personal and financial troubles, Bur ton S. Rowe, who claims Columbus, Ga„ as his home, today attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the breast. Walking to a closet in the rear of a local pawnshop, he fired two shots, the bullets perforating his left lung. He admitted the act and asked for Divine forgiveness. /' Search of his person revealed a note (directing that in case of accident, Mrs. M. M. Rowe and Miss Vivian Hayes, both of Columbus, be notified. He is in a precarious condition at the City Hospital. UGH! A DOSE OF NASTY CALOMEL It salivates!

Ask your druggist for a 50 cent botle of Dod son’s Liver Tone and take a spoon ful tonight. If it doesn’t straighten you right up better than calomel and without griping or making you sick I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Take calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak and sick and nau seated. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great.

There Won’t Be Many New Cogs In McGraw’s 1915 Giant Machine; This Year’s Model To Be Intact New York. —Those who are looking for John McGraw to bust up the 1914 Giant machine and heave it into the scrap heap are due for a disappoint ment. John may do a little tinkering here and there but when the Giant ma chine of 1915 gets into motion there won't be very many new cogs in its makeup. There are two reasons why the Giants won t be reassembled entirely. One is that McGraw feels that his 1914 outfit is good enough to grab a pen nant if a few weak cogs are removed and some new ones substituted. The other reason is that the most of the 1914 regulars are hooked up by iron clad three-year contracts. McGraw couldn't put his old stars on the market and get value reecived for them. He couldn’t offer them for sale and find many ready buyers because those who are in the market for play ers don't w r ant to pay a fancy price for the men and also pay fancy salaries to the players for the 1915 and 1910 sea son as would be the case if they bonght some of the Giants. Pitching Staff. The Giants pitching staff in 1915 won’t look much different than it did in 1914. Mathewson. Tesreau, Mar quard and Demaree are attached to the club by contracts that still have two years to run. McGraw wouldn’t let Tesreau or Matty go no matter what offer was made. We will keep Demaree because “Steamer Al” looks like a real pitcher and he will keep Marquard unless some other chib makes him a most tempting offer for the eccentric left-hander. Contrary to the general belief, Mc- Graw isn’t anxious to let Marquard go. He figures that 1914 wms “Rube’s’’ off year. He recalls the fact that nearly a dozen of the games that “Rube” lost was not through any real fault of “Rube's” but because the Giants’ time and again failed to hit behind him. A half dozen of “Rube's” defeats were 1 to 0 or 2 to 1 affairs. "When a pitcher losses games of that kind it doesn’t reflect on his ability —it reflects on the lack of batting power behind him,” declared McGraw. Fans, "Canned.” Ever since the middle of July the rank and file of fans have been "can ning" Merkle. the Giant’s first sack er. Firing Merkle seems to be one of the annual ways the fans have of entertaining themselves, but unless McGraw finds some star of the first water among his first basing recruits next spring Merkle will be back at his old station. McGraw thinks a lot of Merkle's ability. Doyle will be back at second next year. He slumped badly this year, both in fielding and hitting, but Doyle normally is a steady fielder and a slugger. Probably he will do a come back in 1915. Fletcher will be at short again. Out side of Maranvllle of the Braves, there is no better fielding shorstop in the National League. Fletcher is a time ly hitter and fast on the paths. Mc- Graw regards him as one of the most valuable players he ever had. A stranger may be stationed at third when the 1915 season opens. Stock, the 1914 regular, is a good fielder but weak with the stick. Ed die Grant, the alternate, is going back and cannot be looked upon to hold down the Job in regular fashion. Mc- Graw has a number of recruits who are candidates for the job, but he wants to get a seasoned player and may put through some trade this win / I fin H 'lff H rtSi jig' Jsfr U > 9n |Mt --J / nil jfjf'| Jj X Jpp^rW^uk A *2 THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. ter that may land a third sacker for him. Little Worry. The outfield will cause but little worry. Burns will be back in left— that’s certain. Snodgrass most likely will be in center. For the right field job. McGraw can make his choice front a flock of recruits, in addition to Robertson, Thorpe, Murray and Besch er. Murray and Bescher are nearly through as big leaguers, but may show a reversal of form next spring that will entitle them to Jobs. Behind the bat, Meyers, McLean and Smith, will do the bulk of the work. Meyers had a bad year, but McGraw doesn't think the Indian is all in—he thinks that he simply slumped and will come back, McLean is steady and reliable. Smith, a youngster brought up from the Southern League, showed great style during the last few games of the season and may blossom into one of the best, catchers in the league. McGraw has about 15 young pltch ers—and some old ones—to chose from to select the quarter of twirlers who will act as “second string" men to Matty, Tesreau, Demaree and Mar quard. So, John, despite reports to the con trary, isn’t worrying much about 1915. “MY OFFICIAL WIFE” AT STRAND TODAY AND TONIGHT “My Official Wife,” a five-part fea ture photo-play, is being shown at the Strand today and tonight only.

Theatricaj Notes ol Interest | j “FINE FEATHERS." “Fin* Feathers" which delighted a capacity audience In Augusta last sea sen, will again be seen at the Grand tonight. Eugene Walter's play which has been declared hy critics all over the American map to be one of the best plays ever written by an Ameri can dramatist, will have an entirely different cast for this engagement, being composed of the principal mem bers that appeared in the play during Its phenomenal run at the Cort Thea ter, Chicago, and a number of the players' reputations having also been won In other notable offerings, among them being Merlse Naughton, formerly leading woman with J. K. Haokett and ICyrfa Bellew. Allen Lalbler, the original “Man from Mis sissippi." Robert E. Lee Hill, for two seasons with Blanch Walsh in "The Test, Thurlow White, who created a sensation in “The Man rom Home." Maggie Maxwell, of “Madam Sherry" fame, and E. Agnes Elliott, formerly of Henry W. Savage's forces, and a great hit in “The Butterfly on the Wheel." In “Fine Feathers" the playwright I*as struck out along new channels. In his story the sex problem does not obtrude Itself, not even by sugges tion. There are no lovers except the husband and wife, and their love Is of the human, every-day sort, which stumbles over the small things as well as the big things of life, and far re moved from the perfect romance and exstatic bliss of the erstwhile drama But the most significant feature of this play, In so far as It marks a new departure In playwriting, lies In the author's treatment of the leading fem inine* role. Hers la not one of love making. She Is neither lover or be. loved. She Is Just a woman—the sort one encounters every day, with her faults and frailties, and her great strength In the hour of need. It Is a sure sign of the times. A generation •go, a woman's only place was the home and the fireside- her only mis sion to love and be loved- nad thus •he was pictured on the stage. In "Fine Feathers” Eugene Walter employs human beings for his char acters—they err and are punished.

TO THE OWNERS OF WHITE TRUCKS THIS LEADERSHIP proves the correctness of your judgment in selecting your motor truck equipment. It shows that you have chosen the same motor truck that the majority of truck users in America have selected. In practically every case, this selection has been the result of a process of rigid experimentation and elimination, in which White Trucks have proved their superiority over all others. This preference for White Trucks by the largest users of motor trucks as well as by the majority of motor truck users guarantees that your investment is protected by a suc cessful, well established manufacturer, having a superior organization for rendering Eermanent and efficient service during the ie-time of the trucks. WHITE TRUCKS ARE MOST ECONOMICAL TO OWN That White Trucks are slightly higher in price, makes White leadership in the truck industry even more complete. It is plain evidence that White construction is so superior that the higher first cost of a White Truck is economy in the long run— proof that White Trucks last longer ami cost less to operate and maintain, making them the most economical trucks to own.
