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 BIJOU OPENS MONDAY WITH NEW POLICY Under an entirely new policy, Messrs. Sparks and Schrameck will open the Bijou theatre Monday, No vember 23rd, changing the bill three times a week and giving a continuous show from 2:30 to 5 p. m. and from 7:30 to 10 p. m. The prices (note this) will be 10 cents for any seat in the entire house in the afternoon and 10 cents entire balcony and 20 cents en tire lower floor at night. The Bijou will open with “Southern Beauties" Monday and Tuesday, as HON. M. I. BRANCH SAYS ALL TRAINS ON GEORGIA SHOULD BE RETAINED Was Down From Berzelia Friday. Claims Georgia Road Should Take Its Medicine Like the Rest of the People. Hon. M. I. Branch, of Berzelia. was in Augusta Friday and he took occa sion to make his views known on the question of the Georgia Railroad tak ing off trains. “I do not think any train should be taken off," said Mr. Branch, "for 1 have to take my medicine and the railroad should take theirs and keep the service on. I am now having my negroes cut wood and haul it to the station for shipment to Augusta so that they may have something to live on, and I am not making a cent of profit. I am just doing so that the negroes may have some food and clothing. The Georgia Road should keep on its trains for the especial reason that new the worst has been seen and henceforth business conditions will improve. I do not think that either Speaking ... 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. To The Herald. How would the following names for the new cemetery answer? —‘'Eman- uel,” "Oglethorpe Heights.” We have 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 suggestions. By E. E. C... SUGGESTS FAIRMOUNT. To The Herald. I notice that numerous names have been suggested for the new cemetery. I think the name "Falrmount Ceme tery” Is very appropriate and the pret tiest name that I have noticed. M. D. W. AUGUSTA MINISTER OPENS BAPTIST CONVENTION 1915 Rev. Dr. M A, Jones, of the First Baptist Church of Augusa, will preach the introductory sermon at the next convention of the Georgia Baptists. Fitzgerald, Oa., has been decided upon as the next meeting place.

Martins. train. We know that the people be yond Camak and up to Union Point need a service into Augusta in the morning and if the train comes from Union Point instead of Camak it will be all right with us. Neither do we care what the train is called. We have gone out of Augusta and builded our homes along the line of the Georgia dependent upon the Picayune and we do not believe that it should be taken off. The early morning train service into Augusta has been operated on the Augusta Southern for a great many years and although this road has only two trains into the city a day they come in at the right time and two that leave go out at the right time. Now, if one train coming in and one going out is to be discontinued we hope and believe that it will be the Buckhead or Union Point train.” ternoon and night, offering “The Wid ow Green," one solid hour of fun and in addition three reels of motion pic tures; Wednesday and Thursday, "Up in a Ferris Wheel,” and Friday and Saturday, "The Bogus Bishop." With each change of program (three times weekly) the pictures will also be changed. Come any time between the hours mentioned and stay as long as you like. The music for the Bijou will be fur nished by Andonegui’s orchestra. the Buckhead or the Picayune should be taken off. “I wrote the Merchants and Manu facturers’ Association recently with regard to taking off trains and stated in my letter inasmuch as they were the guardians of Augusta’s commer cial interests to make the proper pro tests. I received a reply from the secretary stating that the Merchants and Manufacturers never let its plans be known in advance; that it accom plished results and then arpiounced them. They are not consistent be cause they advertised to the world sot two weeks in advance that hey were going to give a banquet to a baseball player. “I want all of the trains to stay on and I believe that the railroad should be game and take its losses like ttie rest of us." ARRESTS BY THE POLICE Wiley Berry, a negro, was arrested yesterday for forgery. He is charged with forging the name of Harry Wil liams, another negro, to orders on grocery stores, it seems that Wil liams had good credit with the stores and they readily filled orders pur porting to be signed by him. Chief of Detectives Whittle, stated that Berry gave as his reason for forging that he was cold and hungry. W. W. Devereaux, F. Perry and Benson Warren, three young white! men from Tennessee, enroute to Varn ville, S. C., to operate a saw mill, so they said, were arrested yesterday charged with larceny from the house. It is alleged that the young men took Mr. Sam Baron’s overcoat from Mr. J. J. Fitzgerald's saloon near tho depot. Detective Horne yesterday arrested David Griffith, the young son of Mayor Griffith, of Columbia, S. C„ upon receipt of Instructions from the young man’s father who had driven the mayor’s cat over to Augusta on a Joy ride.

EXPRESSES APPRECIATION FOR AUGUSTA’S SUPPORT Predicts Democratic Victory in 1916. Was Not Surprised at Vote of so Called Progresses in Georgia. I’nited States Senator-elect Thomas W. Hardwick, recently chosen by the Democrats of Georgia to serve the un oxplred term of the late Senator A. O. Bacon, arrived here from Atlanta Fri day morning, the prime motive of ids visit being to deliver the principal ad dress during the afternoon at the laying of the cornerstone of the new postoffice building. Senator Hardwick, looking hale and hearty after Ills strenuous campaign of the past summer, expressed his delight at once more being in Augusta and de clared that it was good to be "borne” again.

Hardwick, who is in Augus ta for this special occasion, having been invited by the Augusta Masons, delivered the principal address. On account of the severity of the weather the address was made in the Hall, In stead of at the site, as scheduled. It was indeed appropriate to have Mr. Hardwick, for it was he largely who made It possible for Augusta, to have a new government building, which when finished, will he one of the handsomest edifices of llh kind In the country. He worked unceasllngly for Augusta to get the necessary funds from congress, and had it nni been for his efforts ami Influence In the miatter, Augusta would today very likely, not he laying a corner stone to a new government building.

Augusta has always stood by me and 1 shall endeavor to live up to any tVust. that may he placed in me in the. future, looking to the. welfare of the municipality and Richmond county.” While in Atlanta Senator-elect Hard wick was In conference with Senator Hoke Smith and will return tl\ei’e for a further conference with the senior mem 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.

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 est have entered the Jura Alps across Alsace-Borralno, passing through the fighting armies without being noticed, so Intent are the opposing forces on killing each other.
