rousing talks from splendid out-of
town speakers, brought here under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League of

regular morning service having givejj
way to this meeting. In the evening

For High School Championship of State
Academy May Play Tech High School
Game to be Played in Augusta or Atlanta. Answer is Ex
pected Within 48 Hours to Message Asking for Game.
The Richmond Academy-Tech High
game, for the stattPhigh school cham
pionship, will, in all probability, be
played either December 4th or sth.
The Atlanta Constitution of Novem
ber loth carried a challenge from Tech
to the local*, basing their claim
on having defeated Savannah High the
day before. The Academy athletic au
thorities immediately addressed a re
ply to the Tech High School athletic
director, accepting the challenge and
suggesting terms.
The Atlanta man neglecting to take
up the matter, the following “day let
ter” was sent The Constitution yester
day:
“Richmond Academy challenges
Tech High for game to decide state
high school championship, game to be
played in Augusta bn afternoon of
Dec. 4 or In Atlanta on morning of
Carlisle-Auburn game. Terms, full ex
penses for sixteen men guaranteed by
team playing at home. Answer ex
pected within forty-eight hours."
It is now strictly up to Tech High.
The Atlantans, it is believed, will ac
cept the challenge wnich means that
there is a possibility of local fans see
ing the “classiest” contest of the year
in prep balldom.
BRITISH AND GERMAN SALVATIONISTS
MEET IN BAYONET CHARGE ON BAT
TLEFIELD—A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Adjutant James Yates of the local
corps of the Salvation Army is a
regular subscriber to the British War
Cry. He receives every week a copy
of this Salvation Army paper from
London.
The following appeared in the last
issue
“ Jesus, safe with Jesus.”
The words were uttered by a mor

soldier, who was carried to an am
bulance wagon by Leaguer John
Coombs of the Ist Gloucester Regi

Writing to his wife, Coombs, who
is a Salvationist, says:
“The battle of was in prog

raked by the enemy’s fire. We were
expecting any moment to be told that
the German guns would have to be
silenced, and presently along the line
came the order, ‘Charge.’ We scram

300 Mode Members.
As a result of the meetings of the
Anri-Saloon League here Sunday, It Is
estimated that fully three hundred
were added to the membership of the
organization in Augusta, and in lildi
tion a stronger spirit and enthusiasm
in favor of the work.
Besides the speakers mentioned
above the following visitors were
heard.: Rev: J. B. Holley, of Ma
con, who spoke yesterday morning at
the St. James' Methodist church, and
last night at the Second Baptist
church, Mr. C. R. Williams, president
of the Exchange Bank of Dublin, Ga ,

at the morning service and at Craw
ford Avenue Baptist church in the

lanta, who preached at the First
Christian church at the morning serv
ice and the Woodlawn Baptist in the
evening.
Otline of Work.
The work of the Anti-Saloon League
of Georgia for the year was outlined
at each of the ‘meetings Sunday/Ss fol
lows:
First—To perfect an organization in
every county in the state, in order that
strong pressure might be brought to
hear upon the state legislature in
whatever direction the league might
see fit to proceed in the attainment of
the desired end.
Second —To scatter prohibition lit
erature broadcast over the state, in
forming the public of the work, and
also to offset the large amount of lit
erature that is disseminated by the
various liquor agencies of adjoining
Third —To see that the prohibition
and other laws are enforced in every
community in the state. #
. Outline of Work.
It is understood that the Anti-Sa
loon League has employed four secret
service men to work in Georgia and
that they are making cases as rapidly
as they secure the evidence. They
will come to Augusta sooner or later,
it was said, at a time when they are
least expected.
Locals in Charleston Thanksgiving.
The Academy squad will leavo Wed

strong Porter Military Academy ag

ponent. Porter is far superior to the
other Carolina prep teams and the lo
cals will have the stiffest sort of fight
on their hands. The Wilsonitcs, how
ever, seem to have the winning habit
and it would occasion no gTeat sur

The second team, Coach Danforth in
charge, left at 2:30 for Waynesboro

emy. I cannot write of what hap
pened then. The killing of men is a
ghastly business.
On the way back to the trenches
I saw a poor German soldier trying to
get to his water bottle. He was in a
fearful condition. I knelt down by his
side. Finding his own water bottle
was empty, I gave him water from
mine. Somewhat revived, he opened
his eyes saw my Salvation Army
Leaguer's button. His drawn face lit
up with a smile, and he whispered In
broken English 'Salvation Army.? I
also am a Salvation Army soldier.’
Then he felt for his Salvation Army
badge. It was still pinned to his coat,
though bespattered with blood.
“I think wo both shed a few tears,
and then I picked him up and with
as much tenderness as possible, for the
terrible hall of death was beginning
again, I carried him to the ambulance.
But he was beyond human aid. When
I placed him on th* wagon he gave
a gentle tug at my coat, thinking he
wanted to say something I bent low
and listened, and he whispered ‘Jesua,
Safo with Jesus.'"
the paper for the future, Mr. Cheat
ham intimates that tt may not be at
a far distant date when The Chronicle
will be issued semi-weekly.

AT THE STRAND
Hobart Bosworth, the well-known
producer of feature photo-plays, is
taking the leading part In the "Odys
sey of the North,”/at the Strand today
and tliis evening, continuously. Crowds
are attending.
Peter Milne, in the Motion Picture
News, in reviewing this picture, says,
In part:
"Naass, the central figure of the
tale, Is possessed with an exception
ally peculiar character. At times he
may be pitied and then again con
demned. Throughout the picture he
is continually in pursuit of the man
who stole his wife, and in his long
searches, wanderings and the misfor
tunes that befall him, one's heart
warms out to him.
But then <when he at last finds his
wife who has grown to love her new
husband, and when he leaves them
alone to perish from starvation and
cold In the frozen north, not much
sympathy is extended to him.
Rhea Haines plays the part of Un
ga, the woman who Naass loves with
all his savage heart, and Gordon Shek
ville appears ae Axel Bunderson, the
man who stole her from him and who
suceeded In making her love him. A
number of others appear In the cast,
but they play small parts, as in most
of the scenes these three are the only
ones that take part.
The sub-titles are all In the first
person, as the story is told by Naass
to two of his friends. He is the last
of a family of hardy northern sailors,
who has been brought up with a tribe
of Alaskan Indians, of which Unga is
the last.
He travels for many miles and Is at
one time made a prisoner In the Si
berian salt mines, where he receives
many a oruel beating, but his search
is renewed, and his chance for re
venge comes, which he unhesitatingly
grasps. Whether or not his action is
iustlfied must be determined by seeing
the picture.
"The Ring and the Man,” is the
Strand’s offering for tomorrow; Wed
nesday, Mary Plckford comes in
“Bishop's Carriage”; Thursday, "The
Man from Mexico”; Friday “The Plum
Tree", “The School-Girl Lark” and the
Strand War Series, and Saturday,
“Sport and Travel in Central Africa.”

It’s Big Stock of Cotton Being
Financed by Out of Town
Money. Local Banks Lend
Little Money to Store Cotton.
A Reply to Bankers Advice
to Sell Cotton at the Present
Prices.
In reply to the interview of "a prom
inent banker” in yesterday’s Herald,
hero is the other point of view as
furnished by a student of the pres
ent situation,
FARMERS WHO CAN HOLD THEIR
COTTON ARE FOOLS TO SELL IT
AT THE PRESENT PRICE,
"The prominent banker who in yes
terday’s Herald urges the farmers to
sell their cotton at the present price
is half right and half wrong,” said
this gentleman. “Farmers or any one
else who ovvo debts owe their credit
ors a reasonable and prompt settle
ment. If they are unwilling lo do this
lliey should be forced to do it. Un
less they do this, they will find their
credit destroyed for the future. The
prominent banker who In yesterday's
Herald uttered these platitudes con
tributed nothing to\ the situation.
"Here arc the points on which the
present cotton situation swings. They
are worth serious consideration from
tiie farmers, bankers and merchants
of the South:
"Ist.—-The South must carry over
n large surplus of this year’s crop—
absolutely must carry 4t. over for there
is no market sufficient to consume all
of this year's crop of cotton. There
will be at least 6,000,000 bales of cot
ton for the South to carry over, for
which there Is absolutely no market
at any reasonable price.
"2nd.- To attempt to Hell every hale
of this year's crop of cotton would i
he suicidal and futile. It couldn’t he !
sold within the usual time at 4 cents
a pound.
"3rd.—The loss to tiie South on 7
cents cotton Ih a big one. It will ho
almost doubled if the entire crop is
to be sacrificed within (lie next few
months at whatever it will bring un
der present war conditions.
“4th. —Most of the 150,000 hales of |
cotton that AugUHta is storing and .
Helling gradually ts financed with mon
ey outside of Augusta. Many of the
hanks of Augusta lend little or no
money to the factors or advance little j
or no money for tho purpose of storing I
and holding cotton.
"sth.—Augusta factors have shown
their ability to secure the money to
make reasonable advances on theae
150,000 bales of cotton, and they are
going to make a profit out of tho
transaction. Augusta iH going to
make more money out of the cotton
trade this year Ilian ever before.
"fith. The distress cotton of tho
South this year as always will have lo
ho sold at any price It will bring in
the open market, but the farmers who
have credit and resources and ample
security are not fools enough to sell
their cotton for less than It cost them
to raise it and on the face of that
turn round and raise another crop.
They figure It Is cheaper to hold cot
ton at. tho present, prices to hold cot
it. Some of them figure 1t is cheaper
to buy cotton at the present pries
than to raise It next year and a good
many of them are going to do this
very thing.
"7th. —The demand Is quickening ev
ery day for the cotton of the South
and the salvation of tho South Is to
market the crop gradually and at the
same time to make up Its mind to
curry over a surplus of 6,000,000 hales. .
"Bth. —Uotton Is going up Just as
soon ns tho world understands that
the South Is going to cut the acreage
in half. If the South Is fool enough
to plant anywhere near the present
acreage, cotton will be worth about 3
cents a pound next year.
“9th.—lnstead rtf advising the farm
ers to cell their cotton at the pres
ent prices, the best advice the mer
chants and bankers and cotton factors
can give them Is to hold what cot
ton Is honestly theirs, to pay theft
debts with the rest of their cotton,
or to further secure their creditors
with other collateral, and to get busy
with other farming operations that will
feed and clothe them for the comint
year.
"10th. —if the South will diversify
Its crops and cut down the acreage
in cotton, the 6,000,000 hales surplus
that will have to be carried over will
prove In tho end the best Investment
the South ever made.
"11th. —The farmers must hear their
share of the burden —they raised the
cotton—some of It at least belongs to
them free of debt. They will he wise
to hold tills part of the crop. The
banks of the Routh, the merchants
and the cotton factors, must also bear
their share of the burden.
"12th. —In conclusion, no general
rule or general advice will cover the
entire situation. Farmers who owe
debts and cannot arrange with their
creditors for an extension will have
to sell their cotton for what it will |
wring. They always have had to do
this very thing. Farmers who own
their own cotton or can make satis
factory arrangements with their far
tors and creditors are going to use
their own Judgment, as to when to sell
their cotton. They always have und
always will.
"The Mouth Is In splendid shape both
to diversify Its crops and to hold a
considerable proportion of its cotton.
The better this program ts carried out
the richer the Mouth Is going to he
In the near future.”
