EIGHT Address oi Miss Booth on Life oi Her Late Father, Founder ot Ihe Salvation Army, Impressed Augusta The Grand Crowded Last Night to Hear Noted Woman Orator, Daughter of Late General William Booth PICTURES ACCORDED THE OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING TYPE OF MAN HE WAS Great Work of the Army, From Its Inception to the Present Day, Was Beautifully Pres ented. F?va Booth, conunander of th* Salvation Army and daughter of the late (ieneiaj William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, delivered at the Grand last night a. wonderfully impressive addreus on tin* life of her father and also a sketch of the army irotn the time of Its beginning to the present day, tilling of the hardships With which it met at first and the triumphs it gained in the end in every ; country on the face of the earth in which it has been instituted. The subject was “My Father" a ini was ac companied by motion pictures and beautifully colored slides to describe certain parts of the lecture. Opera House Crowded. The opera house was crowded to ca pacity, In the ha Iconics as well as in the parquet, and during the time Minn Booth spoke the interest manifested «*ii the faces in her audience and the clone attention paid spoke for the manner in which her address was re ceived. The Htjige was adorned with two huge flags, on#*, (hat of the Salvation Army, symbollic of bjood and fire; the other hung as curtains from the top of the stage and when drawn apart disclosed the white screen upon which the pictures were projec ted. Tribute to Adjutant and Mrs. Yates. The coming of Miss Booth to Au gusta, one of only two cities visited in Georgia on this her first Southern tour, is a distinct and glowing tribute to Adjutant and Mrs. Yates, who are in charge of the work of the Salvation j Army in this city. <\»l. Richard Holz, i'hiladelphlH, head of the Atlantic i Coast Division of the army, when in Augusta some time ago, stated when t peaking of the present commander, I ill an interview with The Herald, that he would endeavor to have Miss Booth \isit Augusta on her first coming to the South. Introduced By Mayor. Miss Booth was introduced last night by Mayor L. C. linyne. Standing on the stage at the time were Miss Booth, Colonel Hois, Brigadier Crawford, of Atlanta. Adjutant Yates and the mayor. Colonel Jiols responded to the icmarks of the mayor. The out-of town officers who were on the stage are accompanying Miss Booth in her tour through the Southland, where she is telling of the beautiful life of her lather, in a way in which doubtless* j no other one in the world could speak j of it the spirit of whose life was Ihe j inspiration of the Salvation Army, I doubtless the greatest practical re liff intis organization of today. "The Whole World Loved Him. m The flags were* drawn apart and a remarkable likeness, it is said, of the late General was flashed upon the screen, showing every line of Ids face as well as hla snowy white hair and beard. “The whole world loved him," began Miss Boot It softly, with every touch of pathos and sympathy In her clear, strong voice. Bhe spoke of the early life of her father, who was born in April, 1829, In Nottingham, England, started to preaching at the of 18 years and was ordained a minister when 19. General Booth conceived the idea of preaching to the poor In the streets of London, and thus the work of the Salvation Army was started, hts wife his aide helper. The movement spread, under adverse circumstances, end it was proposed to give the or ganization the name of The Volunteer Army, but this whs changed by Gen eral Booth himself to the Salvation Army as. so he hi.id. it was an army of workers for the salvation of others. Opposition at First. Mfas Booth told of how the Salva tion Army, at first, met with opposi tion In this country; how its mem bers were tortured In the alum* of cities where they went to minister tha gospc'L how its members were some- 1 times imprisoned, and of other mis- j treatment to which they were sun- , Jeeteri Not only In America, but In all countries the movement was at first misunderstood, said Miss Booth, and its purpose was not clear In each country—England, Switzerland. Hutted States, Germany, India. Dan tuark and others—the obstacles It met were mentioned, and pictures of mime of the incidents were shown. Other pictures, showing General Booth of later years In different countries where the army is now es tablished receiving welcomes from the people, were given, sll the while Miss Booth describing the scenes In s con tinuous lecture. Striking Pictures. One of the most striking of the mo Rabon Found Guilty Murder ot James, Gets Lite Term in the Penitentiary Jury Fouud Verdict at 8:48 0 Clock Tuesday Afternoon. Able Defense Put Up By Mr. Curry, But State’s Evidence Was Too Strong. Henry Rabon, chanted with the murder of John Jnmen, hi* brother in-law. w»* found guilty by a jury In the Richmond sup.rmr court, with h recommendation to the mercy of the court, and wa* gum a life term In j the penitentiary by Judge Hammond ! The Jury brought In it* verdtoi at • <i> o'clock Tueaday evening The caae had occupied Ihe entire day. AM of the testimony vvaa In hy the hour for noon adjournment and the afternoon wa* taken up with argu ment* by attorney*. The defense was mo*t ably repreecftted by Mr. \V. Inman Curry, who made a magniflcen. plea before the Jury. He pleaded **lf ‘Hon picture* shown wan that of a de monstration of the Salvationists from all over the world in parade in Lon don for the universal love of the late commander was that of the funeral procession when, it Was staled, that never before had London’s streets | been so thronged with humanity, high and low, as on that occasion. He was the poor's king, said Miss Booth—a friend to all classes and all sexes. She then went on to speak of the Salvation Army with regard to Its field today— an everlasting monument to Its great founder, her father. Miss Booth is thoroughly familiar with the work of the army. She slated that It now ha* reached out to help to a remarkable degree tl*h fal len men and women of the world. Hotels are conducted In many cities over the country where men and wo men may secure comfortable lodging for Ihe night for a mere pittance Those who have not food are fed and outcasts are taken care of. Every night these Salvation Army poor men’s hotels are sheltering 17,000 per sons, stated Miss Booth. Rescue Work. Rescue work Is carried on for (he children as well ua the. grown-ups and, according to Miss Booth, there arc now ■13,000 of these little ones be ing taken care of by the Salvation Army, which is moulding their Uvea as they should be. Miss Booth took up the problem of the criminal, asserting the contlct’a predicament after the law throws him in Jail for his sins and he Is finally set free after serving hla sentence • only to be looked upon with scorn by his fellow men. Many a ruan, Miss Booth said, who has been converted behind the steel liars of a prison, has, when freed, found only a cold, un welcome world awaiting him. Mias Booth spoke of it as a great and vital problem before the courts today. Adjutant and Mrs. Yates’ Long Ssrvics. At the conclusion of her address, Miss Booth conferred a great honor upon both Adjutant and Mrs. Yates, by pinning upon the uniforms of each of them a badge for long, constant and devoted service to the Salvation Army, Adjutant Yates having been associated with the work for the past 38 years. He and Mrs. Yates began their work In London. When Adjutant ami Mrs. Yates stepped to the front of the stage to receive their honor the entire audience brought forth long and vociferous ap plause, which bore testimony to the love Augusta holds for these two faithful leaders of Ihe work here.

PRESENTMENTS OF GRAND M Dives and Vice Resorts Con demned-- Work Urged on Old Roads-- Board of Education Highly Commended. w Among the presentments of the grand Jury, filed In superior court on Tuesday, November 10th, were a num ber of special recommendations of more than usual public Interest. The police authorities of the county and city are particularly urged to take action against "certain notorious dives and Joint* operated in and near the city of Augusta," In the belief that the strict restriction and regulation of these plases would tend greatly to lessen crime In the community. Strict enforcement of the vagrancy law la urged In this connection. The dives referred to are characterized as the loafing, places of all classes of crim inal*. It is recommended to Judge Henry C. Hammond and Judge Wil liam F. Eve to bring these places with in the law or to dose them. It Is recommended that there be two county policemen Instead of one, th t there he created a special place of detention for Juvenile prisoners; that action be taken by the county board of health In doing away with mosquito-breeding water pools; that all moving vehicles be required to carry lights In front and back at night and that the law on this question be more strictly enforced; that the law against throwing glass In the strep's be enforced; that the game law be enforced; and that a certified public accountant be employed to audit the county books. Though the grand Jury expresses every confidence In tha present system of bookkeeping, It suggests that the employment of a public accountant Is In line with the best business methods. Very Important among tha general recommendations Is one urging that "all the time and attention of tha county forces be devoted to the main tenance of the old established roads” and that during the winter months at, least all building of new roads shoul 1 be abandoned In this Interest. This point Is recommended as "urgently necessary" and the authorities are urged to resume work on the old roads "at the earliest possible moment.” The hiring out of convicts to other counties is disapproved; the building of concrete bridges Is encouraged; dan ger signs at certain points are re quested; the sanitary condition of the reformatory Is commented upon very unfavorably, but the condition is in great measure ascribed to the lack of funds. The Richmond academy and the work of the board of education Is lauded and commended In terms of the highest praise.
