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.
