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.

JOHN MUM SAVE Burn 10 FOOD Were 662 Thanksgiving’ Offer ings From Pupils---Day Be fore Thanksgiving An Inter esting One, 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 l esque scene. 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 erous and well selected. Six hundred and slxty-two contributions were made and $5.95 donated. Many hearts were made happy on Thanksgiving Day by the generosity and thoughtfulness of these pupil* 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.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA 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.

In. saving the woman's life, Holley was struck by the engine and slightly Injured, although this was not known until Home time after. After displaying such bravery he left the ex cited crowd at the llttlo railway sta tion and it was some time later before he was identified. 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.

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. Mr. W. A.

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.
