WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 Business Picking Up and Georgia Not To Ask To Take Oft Fast Trains Manager Chas. A. Wickersham Decides—Ap prizes Herald and M. & M. Association of Decision WANTS TO TAKE OFF SOME LOCAL TRAINS, HOWEVER Georgia Road Last of Roads in South to Ask to Discontinue Trains Because of Poor Busi ness, Says Mr. Wickersham. Genial Manager Chas. A. Wtcke.v sham of the Georgia railroad, has de cided that he will not ask the Georgia Rrailroad ■Commission, at least for the present, to allow his road to take off trains No. 5 and 6, the two fast trains between Augusta and Atlanta which were out on last May. Mr. Wicker sham Explains in a telegram to the Her ald that business has been a little bet ter for the past few days and he will only.,' ask the railroad commission Thursday, at the hearing which is to conte up then, to ta*ke off local trains. Augusta will affected by the pro posed taking off of the Buckhead spe cial which arrives here at 11 a. m. and leaves at 4:45 p. m. Mr. Wickersham explains, in a let ter to the managing editor of the Her ald K that poor business causes the Georgia road to request discontin uance of its local trains and he points out that the Georgia is the last road 'in the south to pray for relief. With regard to poor business because of the present financial conditions there have been widespread complaints and al most all of the roads have been taking off trains. Protest Was Made. Some days ago the managing editor of the Herald wrote to Wickersham, enclosing a clipping from the Herald of last Sunday a week ago signed "A Mere Citizen," in which protest was made that the road should request the railroad commission to allow' the dis continuance not only of the local trains hut of the two fast trains without some promise that these trains would he back on the road when normal condi tions return. The gentleman writing under the non plume of “A Mere Citizen" stated that he thought the M. & M. Association should investi gate the matter. As it subsequently develops the M. & M. Association had written Mr. Wickersham on the 30th of October relative to taking off the k Charming Person is Miss Eva Booth, Commander Salvation Army TJells Reporter of Her Early Work As a Child in the Slums of 4 New York-- She is Pleading Now For the Hospital Aid For the Soldiers in Europe. There is probably no more interesting /person in the country just now. or one '* who accomplishes more than does Eva Booth, a woman from Whose personality vemanates a strength of character that 'readily explains how it is that she Holds high position in an army that reaches all over the world, and that is just as active in its good works in A us: fa in as in New A’ork. Miss Booth, in speak ing to a Herald reporter last night, told of her early work In the army, which began when she was a little girl, of how she had gone to live in tlie slums of New Yolk so that she might see what the people needed —to be one of them as-it w'ere; of how she had dressed in rags and sold matches and flowers, of how she had tended the poor little sick babies of that squalid element; of how she had gone with her accordion to the worst dives and sang, receiving the pennies and nickles that were Klven In response to her call. When only 1- she had begun public speaking which she continued as she did her work in the slums until her health gave out and she was compelled to give it up it’ a while. Miss Booth is an English woman, al though she has lived in the States for many years. She has the full, rich voice, rounded and expressive, that is so characteristic of the English, arid as she speaks there is something most compelling In her tone that holds one s attention until she has finished. Slight of figure and rather tall, she wears her dark, close-fitting uniform with a grace ful dignity. A crimson silk blouse gives n vivid dash of color to the otherwise sombre gnrments and a mass of wavy, brown hßir framed in by the big poke Salvation Array bonnet gives a softened sweetness to the strong, serious face. Miss Booth’s hands are strong-looking ...and capable, and after seeing hrt- one can readily understand how It Is that she haa worked her way up to the posi tion of commander In this wonderful or ganization. And one has to work to get promotion in the Salvation Army. There Is no question of influence, pull, u! anything of that kind, and, despite the fHCt that she was General Booth’s daughter, she began in the lowest ranks and by sheer aint of work and ability was promoted from post to post until now she holds the position of command Troubled With t orpid Liver for Years Wm.

Tuesday afternoon, at the same timo he wired the Herald, to the effect that he had decided not to re quest permission to take off the two fast trains. Mr. Wickersham states also in his letter to the M. & M. that business has picked up a little during during the past ten days and that he would for the present at least, not con sider taking off the fast trains.

Since replying to your letter have concluded to continue trains five and six a while longer. Slight Improvement In passenger travel last few days. CHAS. A. WICKERSHAM. Mr, Wickersham’s Letter. The following letter by special de livery was received late yesterday af ternoon: « Atlanta, Ga., November 10, 1914. Mr. Thos. J. Hamlilton, Managing Editor, The Augusta Herald, Augusta, Ga. My Dear Mr. Hamilton: I thank you very much for your es teemed favor of Nov. 6th, which has Just reached me, on my return from the north, and have noted with inter est the clipping enclosed. The last ten days has shown a slight improvement in our passenger train earnings, and it looks now as though we may be able to see our way clear to withdraw our petitions to the com mission, asking the discontinuance of trains 5 and 6; at least for the pres ent, hoping the gradual improvement will continue. We will necessarily have to ask for some relief on our Ftrletly lo cal service, but we feel that It will not seriously inconvenience our patrons. I wish conditions were such that we could not only maintain our present schedules, hut add to the service; however, as you know, present busi ness conditions make it imperative for, not only the railroads, but other bus iness interests to retrench. I think the Georgia railroad has been the last road In the south to pray for relief, and we put off the evil day just as long as could, hoping for better times and that we would not be compelled to curtail our passenger service. I thank you cordially for sending me the clipping, as well as the many other courtesies received at your hands. Hope to have the pleasure of seeing you in Augusta the first of next week. With kindest personal regards, re main, Most sincerely, CHAS. A. WICKERSHAM. er in the army, one of the most complete organizations that can be found—one that reaches and helps everyone who asks, irrespective of creed or morals, irrespective of everything; simply you are needy and you are helped. What your past was. what your future is to lie matters not until your present wants are alleviated. Wants Aid for Soldiers. While Miss Booth's visit here, and in fact In the entire South, is for the pur pose of her lecture, she is yet doing an other thing that will be productive of wonderful good. She is asking the en tire South to help In the Salvation Army work of sending hospital aid to the ropean soldiers, In an “Old jJnen Cam paign” which she started a few weeks ago in New York and which has already succeeded so that there are now a full corps working dally In Me morial Hall, New York, sterilizing the old linen, cutting and rolling the band ages, getting spdhges and compresses ready for sending to Europe, in this work Miss Booth has met with a tre mendous response and the help of the New York physicians and nurses. Send Without Charge. The ocean steamers have volunteered to send anything across without charge if they bear the Salvation Army seal. Every bandage, compress or other medi cal aid is wrapped In sterilized paper and labeled with the Salvation Army seal, with the contents noted In all the foreign languages. Everything In regard to It has been attended to in the most systematic manner snd with due regard to red tape. She asks every woman In Augusta will contribute some old linen. Send It to Salvation Headquarters. The linen should be washed and boiled, no starch or blueing It will, when sent to New York, be sterilized and convert ed Into bandages. There have been con tributions sent from all over the States, the first response coming two days af ter her first newspaper appeal, when a Virginia woman sent her a lot of hand some old linen with a beautiful note telling how the linen had been port of her mother's bridal Unen, that the flax had been grown ort‘ her Southern plantation, and spun by hand, and that she was sending it In mem ory of her mother’s seventy-fifth birth day, and that surely If there was cura tive and healing power In any Unen it would be found in this. Miss Booth spoke most enthusiasti cally of the South, how she loved It and what splendid audiences site was hav ing. In Atlanta they were most anxious that she should speak again as all who heard her were even more charmed and entertained than they had expected. Miss Booth goes from here to Montgom ery and Birmingham. FILMS MADE IN AUGUBTA. ..Augusta, Ga., Nov, 10, 1914. The Augusta Herald, Live at Home Editor, Augusta, Ga.

Augusta Retail Merchants Ready and Willing to Handle Augusta-Made Goods in Pref erence to Others to Foster and Encourage Living at Home (Continued from Page One.) most enterprising concerns stand ready to do their share. The manufacturers, who possibly have given more attention in the past to developing a foreign mar ket for their goods, are ready now to do what may be necessary to take ad vantage and give the advantage of the home market. There is an unmistakable willing ness and readiness on the part of Au gusta merchants to handle In stock such articles and such goods as are manufactured and made in Augusta mills, shops and factories. All that is necessary now to get the Live at Home, Buy at Home, Made at Home motepient In full swing is that the Augusta buying public get the habit of palling for and insisting upon Augusta- made goods. It's up to the people of Augusta And everywhere throughout the city In hundreds of homes, on the streets. In the street cars, shops and stores the people of Augusta are talking about Live at Home, Buy at Home. Mode at Home Week. Live at Home, Buy at Home. Made at Home Week begins next Monday morning. It will be a week of demon stration —first to acquaint the buying public with what* goods and articles are made here, where they ran be found when they are needed; to bring the farmer and the city dweller to gether and establish diject trading relations between the producer and the consumer; to demonstrate what a great big undeveloped market there is right here at home in Augusta for Au gusta-manufactured goods and for country produce raised in the Augusta section. Merchants Welcome Movement. A representative of the Herald called upon half a dozen or more of the heads of leading retail business houses to day. These eoncems wore picked at random. The question was iput to one and all: “Are you willing to handle such goods as are in your line that are made in Augusta in preference to goods of the same kind made else where if the people want them.” Unreservedly and right off the bat, one and ail alike answered very em phatically—Y es. It Is. therefore, up to the people of Augusta. Augusta merchants are going to sup ply their customers with what their customers want, what they buying public demands. That Is a foregone conclusion. But in talking with these heads of Augusta business houses to day it was not that fact that stbod out, but the fact that these men have caught the spirit of Live at Home, Buv at Home, Made nt Home; that they would prefer to sell their Augus ta customers Augusta-made goods and articles in preference to the same kind of goods and articles made elsewhere. They know and appreciate, these men of business, how it will help, not only ■ their Individual businesses, but every 1 business, every manufactory, every in i lerest and every individual person In Augusta in the long run. A Whole-Hear'ed Endorsement. Mr. F. P. Gracey, trustee of the J. B. White & Company department store, said: •‘We not only endorse the movement which the Herald has been so enter prising and wide-awake as to inau gurate, but we are doing everything that lies tn our power to boost It along and to urge its adoption by the people of Augusta. It has wonderful possi bilities, this Live at Home, Buy at Home. Made at Home Movement. "This store is ready and willing to always give the preference to Augus ta-made goods and to carry tn stock these goods always, anything in our line, and even to add lines if our customers ask for goods made Sri Augusta that we do not now carry. "There are not very many things in cluded in the list of goods manufectu ed In Augusta as contained in the Hun day Herald that we could not earry and supply to the people of Augusta." A Splendid MovS. Andrews Brothers are of the opin ion, as expressed by them, that tha Live at Home, Buy at Home, Made at Home movement cannot be too highly praised. “It Is splendid It Is the very.klnd of co-operation that Augusta needs to erystalize and bring forward as a dominant factor in the civic life of the community an Augusta spirit. “There are goods of Just as fine quality made in Augusta factories as anywhere, certainly ns fine and as good as other manufacturers else where turn out. What Is made here In certainly good enough for us. W<- are willing to cooperate In any wav and in every possible way, not only to make Live at Home, Buy at Home. Made at Home Week a big success, but to instill the sentiment of co operation behind the movement Into our business and Into the whole town ” Will Benefit All Classes. “Nothing that has ever been Inau gurated In Augusta is or more Im portance to the people of all classes than the Live at Home, Buy at Home, Made at Home movement," declared Mr. Charles W. Wise of the Wise Dry Goods Company. “The surest way to bring more diversified manufactories to Augusta to swell the payrolls and to keep Augusta money at home Is to patronise home industry. We should always give Augusta-made goods the preference when we buy such articles as are manufactured here, for at pres ent there is enough that we must buy that Is not made here. This store is willing and ready to do Its part. We will not only give our customers and the buying public what they want but we shall be glad to sell Augusta-made goods In preference to any others.” Keep the Money et Home. Mr. von Karnp, of von Kamp, Vauhan A Gerald, end the members of that enterprising and progressive firm have fallen heartily and enthus iastically in with the Live at Home, Buy at Home, Made at Home move ment, “Underlying this Live at Hame movement I* the basic principle of splendid cooperation, cooperation of the kind that builds up cities anfl ac complishes great big things. "We believe In it. We endorse It not only in so far as buying Augusta made goods hut we shouljl extend this Live at Horne movement to Include the farmers of the Augusta section, buy their produce In preference to that shipped here from somewhere else, and whenever we ran, when we buv, first ascertain if the money we spend can be kept at home—if so, keep it at home. "Our firm is ready to cooperate in any practical way to popularize tlio Live at Home movement. We want to see it firmly and permanently estab lished.” Make It Permanent. “It is a splendid movement,” said Mr. C. H. Schneider, of C. H. Schneider A Brother. "We would like to see Live at Home Week continue all the time. We are willing to co operate In every possible way and \r,> want to see everybody get the habit of calling for Augusta-made goods” Cannot Be Too Highly Praised. Mr. J. Willie Levy does not think that the Live at Home, Buy nt Home, Made nt Home movement can he too highly praised. “A magnificent stroke of enterprise on the part of the Herald." said Mr. Levy, “but,” he added, "1 think now that the movement has been adopted by tlie public and does not belong ex clusively to the Herald any longer. I nm sure of It, because everybody seems to he talking about it. “We don’t know what we can do here in Augusta, hut this Live at Home movement, If it spreads like It should and is practiced, will make Augusta a much better and a much busier and a much livelier city. There's no doubt about that. Of course w'e are ready and willing and anxious to do out share." Eat Home-Killed Meats and Help the Farmer to Move Smokehouse From the West to His Own Farm (Continued from Page Onp). hotel and case, will have no other hut home-killed meats, and getting thfll habit next week of calling for home killed meats and insisting that the butchers supply what Is wanted, will thereafter continue demanding home killed meats, at least two important things will soon have been accom plished. One of these accomplishments will be that to help supply Augusta’s meat supply there will be more beef cattle raised in this section. The farmers of the Augusta trade district will reap Rome of the benefit and got some of the money which, spent for meat In Augusta, finds Its way Into the pockets of the farmers of the middle west who have been for so long a time the feeders of the South. AVlien he gets this money, for beef cattle or for hogs, the farmer living In Augus ta’s trade territory will spend It here or at a point so close to Augusta that It will be bound to come back here. When the money goes to the western farm or the chances are It Is gone for good. Another accomplishment will he thnt such an enterprise as the Au gusta Abattoir Company, which just now needs substantial encouragement, will receive the support it deserves. There has been a great deal said about the farmers of this section mov ing their smokehouses from the west to their own farms. Hereafter more of them than ever before are going to raise their own meat. It Is going to be Just as easy for the farmers to raise feedstuffs enough to fatten more hoge and cattle than they will need for their own consumption. Every time an Augustan goes Into a butcher shop and Insists upon having home killed meat in preference to western meat he will be helping the farmers Would You Trust A Man whose surrroundings, mode of life, and food drink, have combined to make him treacherous, indolent and unreliable?
