“The Hateful God” Jonathan
Storm’s idea of God is that of a king
of wrath. He constantly holds this
idea before his two motherless daugh
ters, not allowing them the least
pleasures. Grace, the oldest daughter,
disobeys him, taking her younger sis
ter to a circus. The tent collapses
and the child is hurt. Storm tells the
girl that God has punished her for
disobedience. She rises in wrath and
declares that she hates God and that
she will not live with her father any
more. She goes to the city and is
helped by an institutional church. A
wealthy man is connected with the
church and is interested in her. He
appeals to her father. However, It is
not until the younger daughter, burst
ing into tears and asking the man to
take her away with him, that the
father decides to go to the city after
his daughter. Turning over the pages
of the Bible his eyes come to the
words God is love.
GEORGE PRIMROSE AND GEORGE
WILSON COMING.
George Primrose and George Wilson
are coming to the Grand Saturday, Nov.
28th, for a matinee and evening engage
ment. These two merry minstrel men
have made all America laugh, and are
still as delightfully clever as of, yore.
None have yet equalled for grace the
dancing of George Primrose. And who
Is it that has been Just so funny as
“"Waltz Me Again” George Wilson. Be
low is given a criticism from the Nor
folk Ledger-Dispatch, of the play, as
follows;
Shorn of all frills and fancies, and pre
serving accurately all the old traditons
of minstrelsy, the Primrose and Wilson
Minstrels made their appearance last
night at the New Wells and pleased a
crowd of minstrel enthusiasts. Headed
by those two veteran stars, George
Primrose and George Wilson, this clever
company of black-face artists provided
three hours of entertainment of that
character that has maintained minstrel
sy at the forefront of amusement en
terprises.
Minstrelsy of the old-fashioned kind,
presented in the “old timey” manner and
offered by the two oldest members of
this branch of the theatrical profession,
surely pleased those present last night,
judging from the continued and up
roarious applause that was bestowed.
There was hardly a dull moment during
the evening and if one little feature did
not please, it did not matter, as another
was coming In Its plact In rapld-flr»
fashion.
Despite the years which hang lightly
over him, George Primrose Is still the
most graceful dancer In minstrelsy, and
his soft shoe work last night was exe
cuted with that same finish and pre
cision which has marked his work for so
many years. The “man with the velvet
feet” was given a great reception la*t
night which was only rivaled by the re
ception tendered his veteran partner.
George Wilson.
Following Primrose’s dancing, George
Wilson's monologue kept the house in a
continuous uproar. He has changed his
jokes and jests, hut not his styie, which
is the same as it wag twenty or even
thirty-five years ago. "Waltz-Me Again’’
occupies a niche In the hearts of amuse
ments lovers that will not be filled by
another. Both the veteran stars work
ed hard last night, and their efforts were
cordially received.
“Over the Billowy Sea,” as rendered
by graceful Harry Kelvcra, was the best
of the musical numbers, and It was a
gem. “Trombone Man,” by Eddie Coe;
“When You Waltz With Me," by George
Primrose; “I've Found Some One to
Chase the Blues Away," by Jack Lam
bert, and “Father Put the Paper on the
Wall,” by Johnny Bliss, were other pop
ular numbers.
The Yap Quartette, Breve and Coe
musical team, the George Primrose
troupe of dancers and an old-fashioned
"after-piece" rounded out a program
that was smooth, pleasing and diverting

Scene from Acme Play---" Mystery of Edwin Drood,” at the Grand Friday---Ladiei
Free at Night.
Ball Players Winter League
New York.— There’s a good laugh
concealed in the charge that Clarke
Griffith, boss of the Senators, tipped
the Braves as to the weakness of the
Athletics, “and, as a result of Grif
fith’s traitorous actions, the Braves
were able to beat the American league
champions.”
A slight perusal of the records show
that Gris is Just as well qualified to
tip anyone on how to beat the Ath
letics as Jim Jeffries is qualified to
pass out tips on how to beat Jack
Johnson.
Gris’s team tackled the Athletics 20
times in 1913 and Grif's team was
beaten 13 times. In 1913 the Athletics
took 14 out of 22 games from the Sen
ators and In 1914 they won 13 out of
22.
In 66 whirls at the Mackian machine
over a three-year stretch Griffith has
been turned back 40 times. There’s
Grifs alibi.
Those who have seen George Stall
ings on the stage are loud in their
praise of Stallings as a baseball man
ager.
“What will happen if W. and J. asks
Yale for a game In 1915?" queries R.
L. H. The answer fs: The same
thing will happen as will happen when
Penn. State asks Harvard for a 1915
game.
Yale, Michigan, Harvard and a few
other large colleges are losing their
zest for practice games.
The great army of prize "fighters”
having been duly mobilized, is now ad
vancing rapidly toward New York,
where there are enough of those folks
that Barnum said were horn every
minute to keep the boxers in luxury
during the winter months.
When Stallings took charge of the
Braves in the spring of 1913 Houser
was on first, Jackson on second, Dev
lin at short and McDonald on third.
Miller, Campbell and Jackson consti
tuted the outfield. Johnny KUng was
the regular catcher. Dickson, Perdue,
Brown and Tyler were the main parts
of the pitching staff.
Of that team, only one man remains
—Tyler.
Kling has quit baseball; Brown Is
dead; Perdue Is with the Cardinals;
Miller with the Reds, Sweeney with
the Cubs and Dickson, Campbell and
McDonald have gone over to the Fed
erals. Houser and Jackson are in the
minors and Devlin Is playing on some
semi-ro team in and around New
York.
Barnwell to Banish Care and Forget
European War and Low Price Cotton
Gala,-Trade Week Begins Tuesday in South Carolina Town.
Splendid Exhibits to Be Made and Prominent Men to Be
Heard on Subjects Vital to Farmers. Plenty of Amusement
Features and Fun For Everybody.
Barnwell, S. C. —Next week the peo
ple of Barnwell and Barnwell county
are going to forget about the war In
Europe, banish dull care, eliminate
equal suffrage from their discussions,
and during Gala-Trade Week welcome
everybody except the pessimist. He
will find nothing In Barnwell to Inter
est him, no one with whom to discuss
the low price of cotton or what-are
we-all-golng-to-do-next-year?
Barnwell Is on the eve of a week of
fun and frolic, business and Instruc
tion, a mixture of the good things of
life. Great preparations have been
made and all Is in readiness for the
opening of the Gala-Trade week next
Tuesday morning l .
In the Barnwell county court house
exhibits are to be made by the Barn
well County Girls’ Tomato Club—the
same exhibit which won first prize
money at the State Fair in Columbus
recently. There will be exhibits of
corn by members of the Barnwell
County Boys’ Corn Club and some of
the farmers whom these boys have
taught how to raise corn that Is corn.
The Southern Railway will have an
exhibit as will also the Audubon So
ciety—the same which attracted so
much attention and proved so Inter
esting when displayed at the State Fair
last month. Prizes have been offered
for the best showings made In corn,
the corn exhibited to become the prop
erty of the fair association.
Good Speakers to be Heard.
During the week some of th? most
prominent’men In public life will make
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Heinie the Zim has been reported
as threatening dire things to the Cub
management unless his 1914 fines are
remitted. Th* Dear Public lias been
led to believe that Heinie has been
fined a few million kopecks this sea
son. That’s a bunk Impression. The
total fines levied upon Heinie is $125.
Heinie, yearning for a bit of exer
cise, soaked Johnny Evers and Rab
bit Maranville of the Braves Inst sum
mer before the rest of the Braves got
a chance to soak him. That cost
Heinie SIOO, the fine being assessed
by President Tener. The other $25 was
assessed by the Cult management.
Heinie paid both fines without any
kicks.
Dame Rumor certainly is a busy
little lady these days.
The world series concluded about
one month ago, yet none of the Ath
letics have rushed to the Yore with any
alibis, nor have they Sfttempted to
spoof the Bravet*’ victory. Which
speaks much for the sportsmanship of
the Philadelphians.
The theory that a fast ball when
hit by a batsman travels farther than
a slow hall was exploded this year.
Chris Mathewson of the Giants, whose
specialty is the fade-away ball and
who seldom resorts to speed, wns
touched up for 16 homers. Dick Ru
dolph, tho slow ball pitcher of the
Braves, was hit for nine homers. The
fast ball pitchors on the Graves’ and
Giants’ rosters were hit for fewer
homers.
