FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27. Case Where Only Charity Asked is Work So That Hungry Mouths May Be Filled v and Shivering Bodies May Be Clothed Man, Wife and Three Children at Starvation’s Door and Say They Can’t Get Work---While the Irresistible Appeals of Charity Are Being Made, Will Not Some Cotton Mill Man Hearken to This? Eighteen miles from Augusta in an adjoining county lives —or rather ex ists—a family of five, husband, wife and three children, in destitute circum stances. They made only four bales of cotton, much less than was re quired to pay their debts, and now with a rigorous winter only in its incip iency this family faces starvation and with insufficient clothing to keep their bodies warm. Now this is a case for charity and yet it is peculiar in that it is only desired that the charity extend to giv ing these people some work to do. The husband and father is unable to per form manual labor very well because of physical inabilities and that is one reason why only four bales of cotton . were made on a one-horse farm, but the wife and mother and one daugh ter —the latter about eighteen years of age—are strong and willing to work. They say that they have made trips to Augusta in search of work in the cotton mills but cannot get any and the neighbors, all of them hard hit by the low price of cotton and responding to frequent calls from the totally help less members of the community—do not feel able to support this family throughout the winter. It does seem that the case in ques tion is one which will appeal to Au gusta mill presidents or superintend ents. Poorly clad, without proper nourishment these people are every bit as worthy of the assistance of Au gustans as any people anywhere. TO SHOW “SCENES BEHIND THE SCENES” AT THE BIJOU Biggest Novelty Bijou Manage ment Has Ever Arranged Be Seen Saturday Night at 8:00. The biggest novelty that the Bijou management has ever arranged will be given immediately before the first show Saturday night. It is known as ‘‘Scenes Behind the Scenes.’ The entire stage will be bare of all scenery, the front curtain will be up. Then the audience in full view W'ill witness what countless thousands have desired, and expressed themselves of their de sire, “What Happens Behind the Big Front Curtain.” All the members of the company will be seen as they en ter the stage, preparatory for getting ready for the giving of the show. You will see them in the dressing rooms "making up” and can get acquainted with just how they make ready for the production. After this is done then, in full view of the audience, the stage manager will “make his staga set" and show you just how the scen ery is lashed together and finally the front curtain will drop in perfect readiness for the show as you usually see it from the theatre’s auditorium. It is necessary that all who wish to enjoy this unusual treat be in the thea tre as early as possible, not later than 8:00. The ideas was gotten from the pic ture “Behind the Scenes” In whicn lit tle Mary Pickford recently starred at the Strand. THANKSGIVING GOLF CUP WON BY MR. F. S.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP MEETING POSTPONED The meeting which was announced at the court house last Sunday to be held at Curtis Baptist Church next Sunday evening has been postponed until aome further plans can he work ed out to be present to the confer ence. While the people of Augusta are re sponding to the appeals of the strick en Belgians, while they are contribut ing to the Associated Charities and while, as the Yuletide approaches, the heart beats in sympathy with the pov erty-stricken, it seems that a case like the on recited would appeal—es pecially because no charity is asked other than work. Tt ought to be easy in Augusta to get food and clothing it) return for work. The appeal of this family should meet with instantan eous and hearty response. It isn’t like the beggar’s appeal for alms and no one runs the risk of giving to un worthy charity. This is a case where nine or ten hours work per day will be given in return for a day’s wage so that bodies may be clothed and food placed in hungry mouths. The landlord on whose place these people live w’ill lose a considerable sum because they can’t pay him, but he offers to cancel the debt and move them to any place In Augusta without charge if some one will give them work, preferably in a cotton mill, and they wall not try to dictate terms. Will not some Augusta mill president or superintendent give these people something to do? In all this city there are none more destitute. As the Christ mas season approaches the words of the man of Nazareth will make more forcible appeal than ever, “Inasmuch as yet have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.” AT THE STRAND Francis X. Bushman, in "The Plumb Tree” is being shown at the Strand today and this evening, continuously, and in addition to this feature photo play, the management is presenting ‘‘The School Girl Lark,” a picture which not a school boy or girl in Augusta should miss, and the fifth of the Strand wat series. Altogether it is a big program —all for the same price of admission, 5 and 10 cents, anytime the theater is open. T omorrow. Tomorrow, Saturday, a Pathe photo play masterpiece, "Sport and Travel in Central Africa," truly a wonderful pic ture, will he shown. Something of how the picture was made and what it exhibits may be glean ed from the following: “Captain Machin, in charge of the Pathe expedition to the African Jungle, with his staff of. camera men, guides and sharp shooters, set salt from Marseilles and arrived at Alexandria, Egypt, five days later. From there they journeyed by easy stages to the Nile, then met the first tribe of African natives, the Su danese. “The first catastrophe of ttie trip oc curred with the death of the expedition's goat, which wandered to a river and suddenly disappeared down the throat of an alligator. The disaster served to inform the explorers that there was hunting at hand, and ih a very short white they had bagged a choice collec tion of ttie monster alligators. Travel ing inland, the explorers passed the spot, marked by monuments, where Lord Kitchener met the Marchand expedition In 1898. “They came to a village south of Ko dok, inhabited by the Shilluks, a war like race, who live in huts of earth and straw. Here they captured a junior monkey. They christened him Coco, and he proved an amusing companion during tiie Vest of the expedition “Leaving the Shilluks, the explorers came to Tongo, and from there plunged into the wild jungle, which was to af ford them many fine pictures, many tliriils end innumerable narrow escapes from death. "Leopards, monkeys, lions and other wild creatures peculiar to the region un knowingly posed before the camera.” DEATHS DOOLLY, MRS. FRANCES E.—The widow of the late Mr. Patrick Doolly, died this morning at the residence, 1242 Walker street, at 3 after an illness of one week. The funeral services will be conducted tomorrow morning at the resi dence, at 10 o’clock, Rev. Thomas Walker officiating and the inter ment will follow In the West View cemetery.

A great many of those mi nor mysteries will be cleared up today. If you have been following this serial it wont do to miss this episode. Besides the “5” Mystery there is an other one of those popular laugh-mak ing Keystone comedies, “Fatty’s Wine Party." And you can take it from one who has seen the show.

She is said to be even better than many grown-ups, Kind in her every movement is grace it self. The show at the Bijou tomorrow by all means shouldn’t be passed lip. BE BIJOU—BOUND. PORTER WON A GOOD GAME FROM A. R. C. Locals Went Down to Defeat By the Score of 12 to 0. Academy Ends Second in “Prep” League. In one of the hardest fought games ever witnessed on a Charleston grid iron the Richmond academy eleven was defeated by the Porter Military acad emy machine by the score of 12 to 0. Porter managed to get an early start, scoring two touchdowns before the lo cal outfit could grasp their method of play. It seems that Porter had an advan tage of weight of approximately ten pounds to the man over the locals and thus were enabled to make long gains on line plays. The ball was kept in Porter territory during the second half, the locals coming back then and putting up such a good variety of ball that the enemy was played off their l'cet. However, with it all, no score could be registered. Telling penalties placed on the Au gusta representatives caused them to lose many a good opportunity to score. Davis, Saye and Martin starred for Richmond, while Hawes, Smith and Simmons featured for Porter. Fifteen minute quarters were played. This game with Porter did not count officially in the prep school football league, thus the academy finished sec ond for the 1914 season. Athletic Di rector Wilson and Coach learned are due a great deal of praise for build ing up a team that now represents Augusta. Now that the pigskin season has closed preparations will be made in respect to the team of 1915. SPLENDID SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AT BATH, GA. Henry S. Jones Chosen Presi dent.

We, as master plumbers, ask the privilege of replying through your col umns to the attack made on us by the Plumbers' union. The members of the Master Plumbers' association were up to June 1, 1914, on friendly terms with the numbers’ union and employed union labor. On the above date their union made a. demand on the master plumbers that they were unable to meet, for the reason that if we signed their agreement that would give the Plumbers’ union tho authority to take possession of the business and conduct It In any way they deemed fit. Their demands were rejected and since that time they have been out on Htrike. From time to time they have made overtures for recogni tion by the master plumbers, which on each and every occasion has been declined. On the night of November 17, under cover of darkness, they scat tered broadcast over tlio city of Au gusta handbills with the names of the master plumbers who are unfriendly, or rather stated “unfair to union la bor."
