lo Go Into Bankruptcy Means Loss
ot Job at Georgia Railroad Now
General Manager Wickersham Addresses Letter to Employes.
Road Does'nt Want People Lacking in Respect For Obliga
tions, But Will Not Permit Rule to Oppress Honest Em
ployes Who Maybe Victims of Loan Sharks or Inevitable
Misfortune.
/
1 General Manager Charles A. Wick
ershatn has had posted a notice for all
ei; ployes of the Georgia Railroad war
ning them against repeated garnish
ments of salary, bankruptcy, etc. Mr.
Wickersham will have no Georgia
Railroad employe avoid paying his
honest debts by going into bankruptcy.
To do so means instantaneous dis
charge. If it can be shown that the
employe is the victim of loan sharks
or is temporarily Involved in inevi
table misfortune, exceptions may be
made to the rule.
Here is Mr. VV’ickersham’s letter, ad
dressed to Georgia Railroad employes:
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 25, 1914.
To AH Employes:
There seems to be some confusion
in the minds of our employes as to
the rules governing the matter of gar
nishment, assignments, bankruptcies,
and non-payment of debts, and, there
fore, to make the matter clear, the
following will be our policy on and
after December Ist, 1914:
In the first place, the railroad does
not need and does not desire to retain
in Its service any employes who are
lacking in the proper sense and honor
and respect for their financial obliga
tions, and is not disposed to put up
with any annoyance in the way of
complaints from the public, garnish
ments or other legal procedure to force
the payment of just obligations.
Therefore, it will be the general rule
to suspend or dispense with the serv
ices of any employe who involves us
Augusta People Purchase Stamps
in Readiness For the War Taxes
Measure is Effective Next Tuesday, December Ist, and Pen*
alty is Imposed For Those Not Complying With the New
Tax Act---Those Who Must Pay For Germany’s War.
Many Augusta merchants, dealers
and individuals will be directly affect
ed by the “war tax” measure effective
December Ist, next Tuesday, which is
imposed as the result of the German’s
war against Europe, which has had
the effect of reducing internal reve
nues here to the extent that additional
taxes must be imposed to meet the
deficit. Many lines of business will
be affected, and the tax measure may
contain a long while as the direct re
sult of the war.
The list of “those who pay” fills
many pages, and The Herald gives
herewith many lines of business in
Augusta and vicinity thus affected by
the atx.
Where the Axe Falls.
Proprietors of theaters, moving pic
ture shows, meseums, concert halls,
etc., are to pay tax in proportion to
the seating capacity of their houses;
proprietors of pool and billiard rooms
and bowling alleys are to pay tax at
the rate of $5.00 per annum for each
table or alley, or $3.34 on each table
or alley, from November Ist, 1914, to
June 30th, 1915.
The "war tax act” includes all to
bacco dealers whose receipts from
their cigars, cigarettes, tobacco of all
kinds, snuff, etc., amount to S2OO per
year, or to pay tax at the rate of $4.80
annually or $3.20 from November Ist,
1914, to June 30th, 1915, on each place
operated by them. Cigar manufactur
ers’ taxes are based on their produc
tions and sales for the fiscal year end
ed June 30th, 1914.
On and after December Ist, 1914,
stamps are to be affixed to all docu
ments as follows: 1 cent upon each
sale or agreement to sell any prod
ucts or merchandise of each SIOO in
value at any exchange or board of
trade or similar place; 2 cents on
each promissory note for a sum not
exceeding SIOO, and for each addi
tional SIOO, or fractional part thereof,
S cents.
All Along the Firing Line.
1 cent on each bill of lading or ex
press receipt, 1 cent on each tele
gram or telephone message where a
charge of 15 cents or more Is Impos
ed for transmitting the same; 50 cents
op bonds; certificates of profita, x
eenta for each SIOO, or fractional part;
SO cents on each deed where the value
of the property conveyed Is more than
SIOO and less than SSOO, and 50 cents
for each additional SSOO or value or
fractional part.
It is unlawful for a recording offi
cer to record or register any instru
ment, paper or document required by
law to be stamped, unless a stamp or
•tamps of the proper amount shall
have been affixed andVancelled In the
manner prescribed by law
On fire and casualty Insurance pol
icies, stamps of the value of <4 or 1
cent for each dollar of premium are
required, but co-operative apd mutual
companies are excepted.
10 cents on powers of attorney or
proxies for voting at any election for
Dope on the Game.
The dope gives neither team the edge.
Tech High defeated Savannah High by
one less touchdown than Richmond and
lost to Boys' High by a field goal. Re
ports indicate that the two elevens will
stack up about the same* in weight—and
there are many who assert that the lo
cals can defeat any team of their
weight. The Atlantans are reputed to
be fast and tricky—newspaper accounts
of theiv Thanksgiving game are to the
effect that they worked fake after fake.
From this angle it appears that the win
ner will be the team that gets the
jump and fights all the way through.
At any rate, the best prep game of the
year is going to be staged right here in
Auguste and every person who has ever
seen a football game is going to make
arrangements to be there.
in as many as three complaints for
non-payinent of debts; or two gar
nishment proceedings; or two com
plaints and one garnishment proceed
ing; or one assignment of salary or
one bankruptcy.
With the exception that the railroad
does not propose to permit this rule
to operate for the oppression of its
honorable employes by money lenders
or by unscrupulous and unjust per
sons, nor to add to the embarrassment
of those of previous good record, who
may have been temporarily involved
by inevitable misfortune.
In every case of complaint for non
payment of debt, of garnishment, sal
ary assignment or bankruptcy the
head of the department by whom the
man is employed will hear any de
fense which the party Involved may
care to offer, and if it Appears that
the trouble is due to genuine unpre
ventable misfortune, or the claim is
unjust, or that the employe has be
come an unwilling victim of the money
sharks, the head of the department
may recommend the suspension of the
rule in meritorious cases.
And, during the present war strin
gency at least, an effort will be made
by the head of each department to
assist the honest employe out of his
difficulties (as far as may be consis
tent without committing the railroad
to any obligations) by advising with
him sympathetically as to the best
course to pursue to that end.

The day before Thanksgiving is an
interesting one at the John Milledge
schol. Beginning with the little peo
ple of the kindergarten and extending
through the eighth grade, each child
feels and takes a part in the historical
celebration.
The kindergarten had a regular
feast. The girls, with their dainty
pumpkin caps, and the boys, with their
Indian feathers, made quite a plctur

On the beautifully arranged tables
were fruits of all kinds, candy, cakes
and even roast goose with cranberry
sauce. Wh*n the wee tots bowed their
heads and sang their thanks nothing
sweeter could be pictured.
The Thanksgiving offerings of the
children at John Milledge were gen

and $5.95 donated.

ANDERSON ILL
FACE TRIAL
ON TOMORROW
I
Charged With the Murder of
John Green, Brother of Walker
Green. Many Oases in the
Superior Court.
Superior court will begin a week of
criminal business tomorrow. The
first case set for trial is that of the
State vs. Vernon E. Anderson, charg
ed with murder. Anderson is to face
a jury of 12 men to explain why he
killed John Green, brother of his step
father, Walker Green, who was killed
several months before by Sam Rhodes.
Rhodes is now under sentence to hang,
having been found guilty by a jury at
the recent session of the superior
court
It was on the 12th of October that
Anderson and John Green, who was
living in the home with Anderson and
his mother, went home from the cir
cus in Augusta. It seems that they
quarreled and, according to the in
formation obtained at the, time, An
derson shot Green through the back
while the latter was sitting on the
back porch of the home. Just what
defense will be offered is not known.
Anderson is under 20 years of age.
He will be represented by Mr. W. In
man Curry, Messrs. Pierce Brothers
and C. H. and R. S. Cohen, who will
put up a strong fight for him.
Berry Simpkins, a negro, will be
tried this week also on the charge of
murder.
A large number of cases are on the
docket and it is doubtful if Judge
Hammond will be able to clear the
docket during the week.

Police and Fire Departments Lived
Within Appropriations For 1914
President Wright, of Civil Service Board, Says Not Only Did
the Departments Stay Within Appropriations, But Have a
Little Money Left---Considers Year Very Economical One.
On December first the fiscal year for
the fire and police department of the
city of Augusta will come to an end.,Mr.
George W. Wright, president of the civil
service board, which has in charge
these two departments, announces that
they will live within their appropria
tions and have a little motiev left over.
U will be recalled that tile police de
partment was given snr>,ooo, and the fife
department, $75.1X10, which was less than
these two departments spent the year
before. The fact that they have lived
Augusta’s Chief Pood Inspector Tells
farmers how to Slaughter Hogs That
They Wish to Sell in This Market
Is a Mistaken Idea That Augusta Doesn’t Welcome Dressed
Hogs For Sale, Says Dr. Haggerty---Comply wijh Board of
Health Regulations and will Be No Trouble.
Thre is a belief current in this sec
tion of Georgia and South Carolina that
a farmer la not permitted to slaughter
hogs and bring them to Augusta end
sell them. This is a mistake for Au
gusta welcomes meat that Is pvoperly
butchered and brought here lor the mar
ket.
Dr. A. L. Haggerty, chief food in
spector of Augusta, was asked for a
statement regarding this question and lie
said:
“It has become generally understood
through the county that the city of Au
gusta does not allow tlie faVrner to bring
Into the city dressed hogs. Therefore In
justice to the farmer and city lot me
state that this is not the case. We
do not wish to hamper the sale of farm
er-dressed hogs as lias generally become
known, but on the other hand we are
compelled to protect the public. There
fore we demand that all dressed hogs
brought into Augusta shall undergo a
rigid inspection. The city'law require*
that all farmer-dressed hogs shall he
brought to this city with the heart,
liver, and lungs in their natural at
tachments, that is they must not be
taken out of the hog when he is dress
ed. These organs are required to he
left In the carcasses that they may bo
given the required inspection, for if these
are taken out Its almost impossi
ble to tel! whether a hog Is afflicted
with tuberculosis or not, and on this ac
count we are compelled to turn down all
carcasses that do not contain these or
gans.
President Wilson Commends Young
Switchman, Former Augustan, Who
Risked His Lile to Save a Woman
Hero Was W. A. Holley, of Greenville Tex., Son of S. H. Hol
ley, 1555 Walton Way, Augusta, Ga. Awarded Medal and
Thousand Dollars By Carnegie Hero Fund Commission
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, In a
recent issue, gives an account, dated
Greenville, Tex., of an act of unusual
daring on the part of W. A. Holley, of
Greenville, a railroad switchman, who
risked his own life to save that of a
cripple, an elderly lady, whom he had
never* seen before, nor, it la said, has
he ever seen since.
Mr. Holley is a son of Mr. S. H. Hol
ley, of 1665 Walton Way, and is him
self a former resident of this city, He
went from here to Greenville ten years
ago, and was engaged In the railroad
business even before he left Augusta.
While residing here he ran between
Augusta and Charleston on the South
ern.
Gets Carnegie Medal.
Accompanying the story in the Post-
Dispatch Is a. copy of a letter written
Mr, Holley by President Woodrow
Wilson, congratulating him for his act
of heroism and conveying to him a
Carnegie Hero Medal; a pen sketch of
the daring act showing the trainman
leaping from In front of an on-coming
locomotive carrying the woman In his
arms, and a photograph of W. A. Hol
ley and Mrs. S. A. Griffin, whose life
he saved.
In addition to the Carnegie medal,
Mr. Holley was also awarded SI,OOO by

The President’s Letter.
Following Is a copy of the president's
letter:
The White House.
Washington, Oct. 20, 1914.
My Dear Mr, Holley:
Pursuant to the provisions of the
Act of Congress Feb. 23, 1905, an
act to promote the security of
travel upon railroads engaged In
Inter-state commerce, and to en
courage the saving of life, you have
been duly awarded a medal for ex
treme daring, whereby, on Jan 2J,
1914, you imperiled your life in sav
ing the life of another.
Cured His RUPTURE
I was'badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure wae an operation.
Trusses did me no good Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com
pletely cured me. Years have passed
and the rupture has never returned, al
though I am doing hard work as a car
penter. There was no operation, no lost
time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell,
but will give full Information about how
you may And a complete cure without
operation. If you write to me. Eugene M.
Pullen, Carpenter, 48-A Marcellui Ave
nue. Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out
this notice and show It to nny others who
are t uptured—you may save a life or at
louat stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an operation.
within the appropriation allotted and
have a little left over Is considered by
Mr. Wright as somewhat of an achieve
ment. It is expected that the same
appropriations, practically, will be asked
for the two departments in 19 1 r» -cer
tainly not any more will be asked.
Mr. Wright said that the fines In re
corder's <*ourt. amounting to between
SH>,OOO and $12,000 annually, go into the
city treasury and if the police depart
ment was given credit for them the cost
of maintenance would not be over $83,000
to $85,000.
Filthy Carcasses.
"Another thing that we are some
times compelled to do is to turn down
carcasses that contains the organs but
are brought Into the city In such a filthy
condition we cannot allow them to be
sold to the public. Therei >re all farm
ers should remember when dressing a
bog to give it a good thorough cleaning
and when its hung up to cool out to
give it a good washing with clean boil
ing hot water, and after cooling wrap
the carcass In clean white cloth and
then heavy burlaps as this keeps It in
nice clean condition when being ship
ped to the city. All carcasses that
come by express are inspected at the
express office. All farmers bringing
hogs by wagon shall make application
to the office of the department of health
for Inspection.
"There Is no possible rensou why any
farmer should have any kick In follow
ing out the regulations of this depart
ment for there is no expense attached
to the inspection whatsoever. .Simply
comply with the law.
"We do not allow farmers to bring In
dressed cattle, hut he may bring in
calves by following out the above re
quirements with the addition that It
must hear the spleen and hide on the
carcass.
"Anyone wishing to have a copy of the
law. one will he gludly mailed upon
request with proper address of person
requiring the same."
I am pleased to convey to you
herewith this medal as a testimon
ial of the nation's appreciation of
your courageous end praiseworthy
act. Soncerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

Rex, May He
Rest in Peace!
Mr. Jacob Phinizy Is mourning the
death of his thoroughbred English bull
dog, Rex, who died Nov. 12th, last, af
ter a short Illness. The dog was ns
fine a specimen as has ever been seen
In this country and was highly prized
by bis owner. In fact, It la doubtful
if Mr. Fhlnlzy would have placed a
price on him, as any attempt to sepa
rate him from Rex after the seven or
eight years of their companionship
wSuld have been futile. Rex was an
English bull of miniature size and
came from one of the beat kennels in
the world. A simple stone marks the
grave of the faithful unimal.
Wherever Mr. Phinizy went in Au
gusta Rex usually accompanied him.
He had remarkable intelligence. He
was not useful as a watch dog arid,
In fact, he was not built for use, be
ing a gentleman among the canine
race, on.e who was not horn for labor
or toil. He was Just ft pot. and a very
lovable pet lie was, despite his ugli
ness. He loved bis master and his
master loved hlrn.
When the summing-up day comes at
the end of all things and the friends
of man are measured, the dog will
rank first. Man shows inhumanity to
ward man, but a dog never.
Whether he be an Eskimo dog In
the country “North of 53.” whether he
be a. Ht. Bernard life saver in the
perilous Alpine mountain region,
whether he be treking with bis mas
ter ucrotts the; pltilesß sands of Sa
hara, or just a plain matter of fact
canine of our own temperate land, ho
Is faithful Just the snme. As Sena
tor Vest, the late lamented states
man from Missouri, well said In his
eulogy on a dog, he is an animal that
will lick the hand that has no foou,
he will share with his master the
most terrible hardships without a
whine or whimper and he Is faithful
unto death, and even thereafter, for
many a dog has followed the corpse
of his master to the grave and pined
away In ceaseless vigil over an earthen
mound until he died of a broken heart.
What other living being In the hu
man or animal kingdom will stand for
Hie caprices, the tempers, the Irasci
bilities of man and go on being hi*
friend Just the same, and. In fact,
seem to love him the more for them!
The pleasure of the master Is law unto
the dog. He rnay be mistreated one
moment by a heartless master and
fly to the throat of that master’s en
emy the next moment.
A volume might be written about
the love of the faithful canine for
man and the story would not then be
told.
As for Rex, his owner did not claim
for him a vast superiority over oHter
dogs of his dny and generation, but
he was a good dog, on Intelligent dog
and a faithful dog. May Hex rest in
peace.
With Arrival of Equipment Fop
New Station on Hill, Will
Have to Be Increased Ap
propriation Unless No. 5 is
Abolished
CIVIL SERVICE BOARD
WANTS NO. 5 STATION
ABOLISHED
Original Plan When Fire
Station on Hill Was Decided
on Was For to Eliminate No.
5 and Motorize No. 2.
The Sixth ward fire station at Troup#
street and (’mitral avenue has been fin
ished for some tima and early in Jan
miry, probably, the new motor fire ap
paratus which has been ordered from th*
SertKravos Company, will be installed.
Then will come the question, shall No.
5 on Gwinnett street be abandoned?
When the plan* to put a fire enirlno
house on the Mill were first formulated
it wa« the consensus of opinion that
the city could dispense with the one on
Mwinnett Ktreet. It was planned at
that time to abandon No. 5, motorize N#w
-• which is on Ninth street, and let th«
companies from No. 2 and No. 6—th«
latter ai Fifteenth street nnd May ave
nue which Is equipped with motor ap
paVntua, look after the territory in th«
southern section of the city.
The position of the civil service bosnt** l
on tills matter was made known to coun
cil a year ago nnd this hoard still main
tains that the best plan is to abolish No.
5. Unless this is done the city will
hnve to put on an extra company, which
will cost over Iti/QOO per year.
The question of what will be done
with No. 5 is bound to rorne up when
the fire station on the Hill is equipped,
for if the station on OwMnnett street I*
to continue an additional appropriation
will have to he asked.
