“Pic” Patrons Hold Daily Meetings
on Train and Discuss Ways and Means
For Retention Time Honored Service
Believe That When Matter is Properly Presented to General
Manager Wickersham He Will Not Insist on Taking Off
Early Morning Train Into Augusta.
The patrons of the Georgia Rail
roads picayune train, which arrives in
Augusta each morning at 8:45 o'clock,
are holding meetings each day on the
train discussing ways and means for
the retention of this service which has
been on the Georgia road for many
years and which they have come to
regard as an institution. They, of
course, would like to see all of the
trains retained, but their efforts are
now being directed toward the reten
tion of a train which arrives about 9
o’clock in morning so that business
men may reach their work in time
and school boys and girls get to the
Tubman for the opening of school.
“We believe that we can get Gen
eral Manager Wickersham to see the
matter in our light," one of those in
terested said Friday, "and we arc not
going to be fussy about any other

HON. M. I. BRANCH SAYS ALL TRAINS

Take Its Medicine Like the Rest of the People.
Hon. M. I. Branch, of Berzelia. was
in Augusta Friday and he took occa

question of the Georgia Railroad tak

“I do not think any train should be

profit. I am just doing so that the
negroes may have some food and

... THE...
Public Mind
HAVE A NAME THAT
MEANS SOMETHING.
Tc The Herald.
Ir. yesterday's Herald Mr. F. G. Stev
ens says he wants a name for the new
cemetery that means something, and
that so far he agrees with Mr. Berry
Benson in his selection of Greenwood
Cemetery. Then he suggests the name
Graeeland. Now will Mr. Stevens
please tell us what Graeeland means?
How does the word and the meaning
of ‘'grace” connect Itself in. any way
with the word "land?"
I know what a graceful dancer
means, or a graceful bird, when flying,
or a graceful cat, but if you ask me
if 1 know what is meant by graceful
land, or Grace Rand, I don’t. It seems
to me a lot of people are proposing
names that have a catchy sound, and
don't mean anything. That was the
matter with Pantheon in the first
place. It sounded big, and that was
all there was to it. I haven't got
anything to propose. I haven’t got
brains enough. I can't lay an egg, but
I know a bad one, when I get hold
of it. R. W.
EMANUEL SUGGESTED.

How would the following names for
the new cemetery answer? —‘'Eman-

slighted the founder of our city In its
memorials. N OLD CITIZEN.
LET'S HAVE A PLAIN NAME.
To The Herald.
I see go much in the Public Mind
about naming the new cemetery. Now,
if all are willing, let's end It all by
naming it Pleasant View, or Oak View,
or Pine Forest, or let's just rail it The
Home Cemetery. Only some plain

To The Herald.
I notice that numerous names have
been suggested for the new cemetery.
I think the name "Falrmount Ceme

“I wrote the Merchants and Manu

in my letter inasmuch as they were

who made It possible for Augusta, to

ber of the upper house tYom Georgia.
Appropriation for Levee.
Mr. Hardwick stated emphatically
that he expected to get an appropria
tion through the next congress for Au
gusta’s levee. “The people from the
Mississippi Valley have been getting ap
propriations to build their levees and
Augusta must get some money to pv«>
teet herself from the Savannah,'’ said
Mr. Hardwick, and I shall hold up the
next rivers and harbors hill or include
in it an appropriation for the levee here.
I not only expert “to get enough money to
pave the levee hanks, but also to assist
In tlie actual building of the levee itself.”
As to the recent election -in Georgia
and throughout the countvy Mr. Hard
wick said that he was not surprised at
the vote of the so-called Progressives In
Georgia, that II amounted to Just about
as much as It did in 1910. “As for the
election throughout the country it was
very satisfactory.” he said. “We have
a majority of 3<> over all In the house
and increased our majority ip the
senate.
“It Is a mnttev of history that when
a party in power loses the control of
the house in an off-year it Is beaten in
the next presidential election. We have
retained sontroi of the house and will
win the presidency In 191k.’’
Mr. Hardwick, of course, believes that
President Wilson will he the democratic
candidate.
NEW PBESIDENT
FOR BESSIE TIFT
The Georgia Baptist Conven

From College and Keeping it
Out of Courts.
Carrollton, Ga.—Thr trustee** of
Heattlo Tift College Thursday unani
mously elected Dr. John I). Mell, of
Athens, as president to succeed Dr.
<\ H. S. Jackson, lie has not. agreed
to accept the place but lias taken it
under consideration.
])r. Mell is a son of Dr. I*. H. Mell,
for long years president of the South
ern Baptist convention, lie is presi
dent of the Georgia Baptist conven- j
tion and has the confidence of the en
tire bortherhood.
In the morning Dr. W. L. I’ickard, •
the new president of Mercer, made his
first address as such to the conven
tion. It was a great speech that
moved the brethren mightily.
Dr. C. H. S. Jackson, the retiring
president of Bessie Tift, made an im
passioned speech in telling of the
great burden that had rested upon him
and of the struggles through which
lie had passed in keeping up the col- j
lege. He rejoiced that lie had set the !
pace to make a great Baptist college
of the institution.
It was finally decided to project th€
campaign to raise SIOO,OOO for Bessie
Tift and to secure at least $25,000 of
it within the near future.
The convention is a unit on lifting
the debt from the college and thus i
keeping her out of the courts.
BIRDS SCARED BY
SHOTS MIGRATE TO
SWISS FORESTS
Geneva, —There Is a great migration
of game birds and wild alma is of all
sorts from the theatre of the war In the
direction of the Alps. Beared by the
thunder of the Mg guns and the ping
of the rifle shots, hundreds of these
animals have entered the Swiss
forests.
TMs new form of refugees include
wild hoars, deer of several kinds and
goats There are also wild fowl in
large quantities while iri the lower
Kngrtdlne even hears have entered
this Swiss Yellowstone Bark. The
Swiss lakes and rivers are overcrowed
with the feathered tribe, hut shoot
ing has been, strictly prohibited by
tiie Swiss authorities and the “strang
er refugees" are to he allowed to have
a rest before proeeedlng on their Jour
ney southward to sunnier climes.
There is no doubt that the war has
frightened away from Germany and
the north these denizens of the ani
mal and the bird creation, which are
to he seen in all their glory in the
Swiss forests and lakes. A large nnrn* j
her of wild briars from the Black For

Alsace-Borralno, passing through the
fighting armies without being noticed,
so Intent are the opposing forces on
