THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19. Two O'Connors Who Will Probably Face Each Other in Game Saturday TUB O’CONNOR, BENEDICTINE QUARTERBACK. Benedidine-Academy Game Saturday to Be Most Spectacular ot the Year Coach Wilson is Putting His Men Through Grilling Work. Benedictine Anxious to Make Better Showing Than Savan nah High. • 'Die gridiron battle .Saturday be tween Benedictine College of Savan nah, and Richmond Academy, gives promise of being the most spectacular of the local season. Judging from re ports, the B. C. eleven is mighty fast, while local followers of the game can vouch for the speed of the Acad emy machine. The Savannah men arc coming de termined to show to better advantage than the Savannah High. The rivalry between the Savannah High and Ben edictine Is as Intense as that between Georgia and Tech —their annual Thanksgiving game is the football event of the year down in the coast city. For the first time in several years B. C. appears to have the edge on their rivals. Savannah High held the locals to a 19-6 score, which means that the dope indicates that the Satur day. match will he close. Grilling Work for Locals. Coach Wilson it putting the locals through the most grilling sort of training in preparation for the hard games ahead. For the past two af ternoons strenuous scrimmage work ha,? been the order, the squad being divided intcf two nearly equally match ed teams. After three-quarters of an hour of scrimmage, the regulars put in a half hour or so of signal practice. Several new formations are being tried out, and it is expected that these will open the eyes of the Benedictines Strenuous Efforts For Retention of Early Morning Train Into Augusta, Say 40 People Depend on Picayune General Manager Wickersham to Be Asked Not to Take Off Early Morning Train Into Augusta---“ Let Picayune Come From Union Point and Call it Anything You Like; Just Keep a Train on That Arrives About 9 A. M.,” Say Those Who Patronize “Pic.” The patrons of the Picayune train on the Georgia Railroad are not letting any grass grow under their feet and will -make a vigorous protest to Gen eneral Manager Wickersham and the • ieorgia railroad commission for this train to be retained, or at least one train which will arive in the city about 9 o’clock each week-day moning. "We do not care whether it is called the Picayune, the Buckhead or the Union Point train.” said one gentle man in discussing the matter, ’all we want is a train. There are at least 40 people dependent upon the Picayune to reach Augusta each morning. This train has been operated for a great many years and many of us have pur chased homes long the Georgia road with the idea of coming to and going from- the city on the Picayune, and if the first train to arrive in Augusta comes at 11 o'clock we shall be so dis commoded that we may have to sac rifice our homes and come to the city to live. “We are not quarreling with the Georgia mad about its desire to take off at least two trains, that is one com ing Into the city each dav and one go DRINK HABIT Reliable Home Treatment.

Using their great speed, the locals will undoubtedly pull off a goodly number of spectacular plays. Personnel of the Squad. The following men are eligible to participate in the Benedictine game: Ends—Kennedy, Armentrout, Mor ris, Phinizy. Tackles —Muller, Martin, De. Vaughn. Guards—Field, Silver, O’Connor. Center—Rupert, Miller. Quarter —Saye, Miegel. Halfbacks—Davis, Philpot, Baynes. Full —Bryan. Coach Wilson has not decided upon his line-up for the first kick-off: it is whispered that he may spring a surprise or two in his selections. New Jerseys. The team will come out for the first time Saturday in their new jerseys. They were ordered in time for de livery before the Riverside game, but were unduly delayed. The jerseys are orange and black, but without the letters. Under the new ruling of the athletic association, the letter will he presented, at the close of the season, to all who have participated in two thirds of the games, excluding prac tice games. The players declare that the new jerseys will never be stained by de feat and are. preparing to demonstrate the truth of this declaration Satur day. ing out, for we realize that business is not good now, and we believe that General Manager Wickersham is sin cerely desirous of doing all that he can for the patrons of the road, but we be lieve that he will make a mistake in not giving the people along the road a train to come to Augusta on early in the morning. The Picayune can come from Union Point each morning and although the people will have to get up early in the morning to catch it, still that is no particular hardship to folks who come to the city once every two weeks or once a month. We believe that when we show the matter to Mr, Wickersham in the proper light he will agree with us that we ought to have some train on which to arrive in Augusta early in tire morning. We hope that the question will be settled soon and permanently and we are con fident that as soon soon as the gen eral manager fully appreciates the sit uation he will let us keep the morning train.” HOTEL ARRIVALS Hofbrau Hotel. —M.

AUGUSTA “TRY-OUTS” PASSED ON BY DUDLEY Future Augusta Manager Likes Selection Made By President Kalbfleisch. Good Prospects. President Kalbfleisch, of the Augus ta Baseballe Association, received a letter from Manager Dudley this morn ing stating that he, Dudley, had gone over the list of try-outs given him, taking each individual player in turn and as a result of his observations had decided that all were worthy of a "try." All on the list handed Dudley by Mr. Kalbfleisch are good men, taking it from Augusta’s future manager. Where the local association’s president re ceived his dope to get eleven good try-outs cinched can not be learned. All that is known, however, is that President Kalbfleisch connected with them, and “hit the nail on the head” In every case, that is. so far. Dudley also stated that he is not waiting until the last moment to build up his team but is using every method, and has been doing so since the sign ing of his contract. As a result, with the co-operation of the local president, he now has every thing mapped out tor the try-out period, the training season and then the opening game of the season —and last but not least, if things go through without a hitch, which they will no doubt do, for a team that will make a name for Itself during the 1515 season. Augusta created somewhat of a sensation last year. “Dud” says that he is not making any predictions, hut is willing to say that if its possible he’s going to have a set of thrillers for the coming season. Things are somewhat dead In base ball circles Just now in this burg, the only baseball "game’’ being talk of the future team. However, Judging from the enthusiastic talk, the local team is going to be well supported next year, jf so—Augusta will be prominent in that first division.

PRESENT DAY CONSPICUOUS NESS. Mrs. Deer How modestly she dress es and how sensibly I Mrs. Sneers Yes; that woman will do anything to attract attention! THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUS'A, UA. BUSINESS ASPECT NOTARY MEETING Mr. Tracy I. Hickman, Cotton Manufacturer, Advocates the Adoption of Khaki Uniforms. Condemns the “Buy-a-Bale” Movement. Tiie question of the adoption of khalci summer uniforms for officials of railroads, police and fire depart ments was taken up at the regular meeting of the Rotary Club of Au gusta on Wednesday, Nov. 18, in a wav which is calculated to bring re sults. The speaker of the day was Mr. Tracy I. Hickman, president of the American Cotton Manufacturers’ Association, who lent his hearty en dorsement to tlie plan, known as the Hudson Plan. Mr. Hickman pointed out the mani fold advantages of the aclieme as a solution of the "cotton consumption” problem. He laid particular stress on a point which has been clamorous In the minds of eotton men for a long tinne, —but which few of them have had the tem erity to voice,—and that Is the iniquity of the “buy-a-bale” movement. Doesn’t Solve Question. As Mr. Hickman pointed out, this buy a bale proposition does nothing towurcis solving the question of cotton consumption. Through it a certain amount of cotton will merely be held off the market for n certain length of time, to flood the market later. Tt is not a solution, only an expedient for postponing the evil hoc should he used, taken permanently oil the market, put into some form of value and, in short, consumed. In no way, Mr. Hickman said, couhl tills consumption be effected better than through the co-operation of the railroads, electric railways, and mu nicipal authorities in adopting cotton goods for officials’ summer uniforms. A khaki uniform, in the first place, can be procured for one fifth tlie price of the serge suits at present in use by conductors, motormen, police men and firemen. They could have five suits instead of one for the same Price. Secondly, hr called attention to the great benefits the. railroads, especially, derived from the cotton manufactories and the consequent support which they ought to lend lo the industry. From his own mills, Mr. Hickman said, where 60,000 spin dles were in operation, he paid an nually lo the railroads more than SOO,OOO in freight. What must they derive from tHe 30,000,000 spindles in the country? In Any Color. Khaki or similar material, may he obtained in any color desired. It Is more sanitary than wool, bring wash able. It Is more comfortable ns well as rpore appropriate for summer wear, and altogether there seems to be every reason for Its adoption, and no reason against. By using its own cotton, Mr. Hick man said, tlie South will lie helping to support itself, which is in the end the question of the most vital Im portance at the present time. For Its Adoption. A resolution was adopted by the Ro tary Club that the club, as a body, lend its weight to the support of the plan in inducing the authorities in this vicinity to adopt the khaki uni forms. Furthermore, a committee was appointed with Instructions to com municate with every Rotary Club in the country and enlist their co-opera tion in the movement, which may he spread to (he entire United States. Captain Hudson, the originator of tlie idea, was the guest of the dull at the luncheon and made, a few re marks. Air. Frank Rarrett, cotton factor, and Mr, George Wilman, cotton ex porter, also gave the club some views bearing on Ihe question. Roth gentle men heartily endorsed the movement as an excellent notion and expressed themselves In accord with Mr. Hick man’s views. Last Night’s Play "The Silent Voice" has a message for every ope. It is a play with a [im - pose and a punch. It is a. pity every Augustan couldn't see it, for Mr. Skinner delivers a lay sermon more powerful than any prelate, more lienu tiftil than the eloquence of pulpit ministers, bringing home so forcibly' the truth that the only happiness that is lasting consists in doing for others Otis Skinner improves with age. It would be hard to imagine how he could have ever been better than he is in "The Silent Voice.” In this great melo-drama he ban splendid oppor tunities for the display of his power ful talents, a vehicle, so to speak, by which this great actor can deliver a message to the world that is as old as Christianity itself, yet which every lime one tells it is sweeter than be | fore. A gospel of love for one's fellow man is preached by Otis Skinner, un accompanied by any forms or rere j monies. Mr. Skinner has surrounded him self with an able cast. Mrs. Skinner ias Mildred, portrays that type of old maid who makes the world sweeter | and better by her having lived. She was one of those noble women wno -had not been mated to any man as tier c< mpanlon for life, probably because I she had been overlooked by the, mas culine persuasion in their mad desire |to grab the wall flowers or the friv olous sort who never take life se- I riously and who are ill prepared to I assume the duties of wife and mother hood. Mildred and Montgomery Starr would have been well suited. Kach ! SAVE YOUR HAIR! IF FALLING OUT OR DANDRUFF—2S CENT UDINE Ladies! Men! Here’s the quick est, surest dandruff cure known.

The logical ending of the play wns for Marjorie to go to Bobby and Mildred to comfort Monty, hut the dramatist did not so decree. He brought Marjorie to the feet of her noble and generous Monty, over awed by hts all consuming love and unselfishness, and in tlie new Marjorie there was a regenerated, reconstruct ed woman. Miss Florence Fisher as Marjorie, was splendid. In fact, when every part was played as it was laHt night one does not criticise and can only adulate. In the first place, "The Silent Voice” demonstrates that it often requires some sorrow in one's life before he can come to himself. In Monty's case it was, first, the deprivation of the greatest gift thnt nature had endowed him with, added to the realization that his wife did not love him. only married him through a sense of grat itude and admiration for his noble qualities, ami an accidental view of the sufferings of others which made his own insignificant by comparison. Many a son never comes to him self until a gray haired mother’s heart Is broken; many a, drunken father; never reforms until a white hearse heads for the cemetery with a. little coffin In which lies that which waa nearest and dearest his heart. Monty went down Into the depths of sorrow, he drank bitter dregs of disappoint ment in love and in his art, but it took the former to bring out the real Monty. The mistake of one of middle ago taking to hlmHelf a mere child to he his lifetime companion has been preached upon nd Infinitum for countless years, and this was not the strongest point of the play anyway. The strongest feature was Monty’s sermon to men. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless angels mourn" is a truism which has rung down ttie centuries nnd indeed, it is a wonder that sor row isn't brought to Ihe door of more people that they might look through the lenses into mote parks in this great country and see and sympathise with the thousands who have been left homeless and stranded by a for tune they could not control. Again, the only real happiness in life is in making others happy and “The Silent Voice" strikes with pe culiar force now while thousands of unemployed men roam the streets In our cities, leaving other thousands of babes nnd mothers at heme without sufficient nourishment; while millions in war-torri Kurope are suffering the pangs of hunger nnd feeling the frost bite of winter, Insufficiently clad, homelesa, helplesa, almost hopeless. It would seem that those who have an abundance of worldly goods would get their chlefest pleasures from help ing others, in Augusta, in America, In Kqrqpe, everywhere, for 'Tnnsmueh as ye have done it unto on# of the least of these ye have done It unto me."
