In case the locals win, their stand ing so; the year will be first place among the high schools and third place among all preps of the state, Gordon and Riverside alone outrank ing them. In case they lose—well, we refuse to even consider such a pos sibility Enthusiasm Running High. Never before has enthu iasm over a football game reached such a high pitch. Every man in town who has ever seen a game is making arrange ments to be there —there are hundreds of others who, enthused over the great showing made by the local institution this season, are coming out to show their appreciation of the efforts of the Academy athletic authorities to make this a real football town. It would not be at all surprising to see a crowd of two thousand or more. Certain it is that the largest crowd of the season will be on hand when Kefere Caswell blows his whistle. The Academy cadets are pledged to attend in a body. Incidentally, if you want to hear some real live “root ing” come out and listen to these boys cheer on the team that is representing them.

FORBIDS CHINESE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN FRANCE Peking.—The ministry of the inte rior has circulated an order to the various provinces prohibiting the cir culation of the ‘Shao-nien-shen-pao’’ and another Chinese periodical pub lished in San Francisco by Chinese residents there. The order to the pro vincial authorities states that as these two papers are published with the sole purpose of attacking the Chinese gov ernment and supporting the revolu tionary cause they should be dealt with according to the press law. ? j^HHhnJHMflHtor * > Scene from "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," at the Grand This Evening. TWO ACADEMY STARS IN TOMORROW’S GAME ... A I RUPERT, CENTER. CUT OUT THE FIREWORKS; TOO MUCH COTTON STORED Southern towns are filled with cot ton and the fire hazard this Xmas will be greater than ever in the cotton dis tricts. Here’s one town that is go ing to cut out the fireworks and take no chances on a cotton fire; TOWN FULL OF COTTON, PUTS BAN ON FIREWORKS Montezuma.—Mayor Yancy Hill, of Montezuma, has issued a proc lamation forbidding the sale of fireworks in Montezuma this Police Department’s Charges and Hie Answer ot Recorder’s Friends Officers of Department Ap peared Before Police Commit tee Yesterday and Gave Evidence on Recorder W. D. Irvin FRIENDS OF MR. IRVIN SAY POLICE ARE MAD BECAUSE HE IS A “REAL RECORDER” Claim That Because Depart ment of Police Cannot Dictate Want to Eliminate Him---De partment Says Irvin Will Not Impose Fines---His Friends Say He Was Not Employed to Persecute. For several days it has been known that an investigation was to be made by the police committee of council with regard to the official acts of Recorder W. D. Irvin. This commit tee had a meeting yesterday after noon and one side of the case was presented, that is the police depart ment’s side, while the recorder will be allowed to make a presentation of his side of the affair on next Wednes day. Yesterday’s hearing was purely ex parte. Statements were requested after the meeting of the committee from Chair man T. W. Pilcher and Mayor L. C. Hayne, but neither had any statement to make. Recorder Irvin was also asked for a statement and he said that he did not think it proper to make one. The police committee Is composed of Messrs. Pilcher, Martin, Cuthbert, McDonald, Jones and Woodward with Mayor Hayne a member ex-officio. Although, a:, stated, no statements would be made by any of the parties at interest, still enough has leaked out for the reporters to gather a rather clear idea of the trouble. PHILPOT, LEFT END. Christmas season. This step was made necessary because of the great amount of cotton that is stored in warehouses and other places here. Two new warehouses have been built here this season. These, in addition to the two old ones, and all other vacant houses, have been stocked to the rafters with cotton. Be sides, vacant lots and the sides of streets are filling fast now. Shooting of any fireworks here would be dangerous. Is Now an Investigation. The police department seems to be acting as prosecutor in the matter, although charges have not yet been actually preferred. If the police com mittee, after an investigation, decides that charges shall be preferred the matter will be brought before the en tire council and Mr. Irvin put on trial before the same body that elected him to the position. Testimony against the recorder was given by Patrolmen Tinley, Newsome, Ray and Dunn, while Chief Elliott and Captain Grubbs also offered tes timony. The exact nature of the tes timony is not known. The Charges. The police department charges, it is understood, that the recorder re fuses to sentence persons brought up charged with violating Section 686 of the city code, which says that "police men shall arrest persons on the street after 10 o’clock at night who are not ing suspiciously and are unknown to the policemen.’’ The recorder, so the charges run, also, refuses to send peo ple who are charged with loitering and idling to the stockade, even after suf ficient evidence has been brought out against them. The department also charges that the recorder asks the advice of peo ple in his court as to what disposi tion he shall make of certain cases that are brought before him. Another charge is that he suspend ed sentence on a man whom Police man Dunn says pulled a pistol on that officer when he was arresting him. The Tinley charge is based on the alleged fact that the recorder did not fine the Georgia Railroad for block ing a street when that officer had re ported a blockade for a certain num ber of minutes. The friends of the recorder, asked about these charges, say that the en tire matter resolves itself into a ques tion of who shall run the recorder’s court, the police department or the recorder himself. Say Chief Wants to Run Court. They make answer to each and every one of the charges, if they may be called charges, and say that the chief of police and some of his of feers are trying to run the court and are mad because Mr. Irvin will not allow them to do it. As for the Tinley matter, they say that Tinley watched the train block a crossing without a word of warning to THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. the members of the crew that they were about to violate a law and stood with watch in hand waiting for them to violate the law. The recorder told Tinley that lie should have warned tlie crew and when he dismissed the case, or suspended sentence, Tinley laughed at him. The recorder told Tinley a repetition of the offense would mean ten days in jail for him for contempt of court. As for the Dunn charge, the re corder suspended sentence on a man whom Dunn said drew a pistol on him, although there was a large crowd around and no one saw the pistol ex cept Dunn. Not Employed to Persecute. As for the recorder’s refusal to sen tence people charged with acting "suspiciously or are unknown” to the officers the recorder’s friends assert that he was not employed by the city to persecute and the police officers must make out proper cases If they wish the recorder to fine or imprison people. Wherever there is a ease properly made out the recorder takes due cognizance and imposes sentence, but he refuses to lot policemen will) reputations for making large num bers of arrests and who pride them selves in the number they bring be fore the recorder, get a sort of ghoul ish glee in seeing poor unfortunate white people and negroes go to the stockade. The recorder freely admits that he asks the advice of people as to what he shall do with certain defendants. He asks Captain Grubbs, Clerk Daly, Sergeant Hennies and other officials of the court for their adviee often times because of their association with offenders for years and that such actions, instead of being the bases for charges, are commendable. Say Department Has Planned “to Get” Recorder. That the police department has long since planned “to get” the recorder Is freely asserted by the latter's friends. They say that unless a recorder sub mits to the dictations of the police department he will travel a rocky l road. They stand by Judge Irvin’s official record as recorder and say he has done nothing in that position of W’hich he is ashamed. He has tried to be fair, he has searched to the bot tom of cases, he has made mistakes of lodgment probably in some cases, but no one is infallible, and be is go ing to be recorder while he is in the position. The above are the contentions of Mr. Irvin's friends. In this story has also been mentioned, insofar as they could be secured, the allegations against him by the police department. The outcome will be watched with In tense interest. AT THE BIJOU If you're going where the crowds go these days, you're going to the Bijou where, for the last hall of ibis week, one of the best Keith vaudeville shows, the funniest comedians and the slick est artists in acrobatic tricks, etc... aro entertaining audiences that tit times simply almost split tlieir sides laugh ing. They are real laughs, not strained in the least. To begin with, the patrons of the theatre last night seemed exception ally pleased with the act of Irving Lewie —the Dutch nut. Now, besides, there are three other big acts of the Keith standard. They arc Stanley, O’Brien and Brodle, a comedy skit; Maddock, bounding wire and hand balancer; and The Rosellos, a real high class musical act. Andonegui’s orchestra plays at ev ery show, continuously from 2:30 to 10:30, and there are three reels of moving pictures, one of which is A Father's Crime,” an especially good film. FOLLOWS MOTION PICTURE BUSINESS INSTEAD OF LAW Frank Salley, of Augusta, Graduate Law Department of University of Georgia, is at High Point. Friends of Mr. Frank W. Salley, a son of Dr. O. B. Salley of this city, will be interested to know that he has recently opened a motion picture the atre of his own in High Point, N. 0., and has named 1t the Dreamland, after the Dreamland of Augusa. Strangely enough Mr. Halley, after attending the Richmond Academy In this city, took a course in law at the University of Georgia and was gradu ated. It was while he was attending the university and studying law that he took a fancy to the motion picture business and helped defray his ex penses at college by working with on-; of the theatres in Athens. He was later associated with one of the local houses. He has now dropped his law and Is said to he doing well In hls new field. The Host —It's beginning to rain; you’d better stay to dinner.

Between sixty and seventy of Tha Herald’s news carriers Thursday night wqre guests of Messrs. Sparks and Shrameck at the Htrand and also at the Bijou. It is needless to sny that the boys enjoyed themselves—they al ways do at functions like these. The entertainment was a treat from the management of the Htrand and Bi jou Theaters, and at the latter, in ad dition to the moving pictures, the youngsters witnessed a big four-act Keith Vaudeville show, that pleased every one of them. AUSTRIAN rIeGIMEN-TgIVEN COMMANDS IN ENGLISH Berlin,—The English are not the only soldiers in the present war who are hearing their commands in tha English language. According to a let ter from an Austrian lieutenant, serv ing in Galicia, there are In his regi ment a number of Ruthentans who re turned to Austria from the United Htates to fight. And as these men understand almost no German, he says, the commands are given in English. Tuxedo— the Most Enjoyable and the Most Healthful Smoke nHHE most enjoyable smoke is a pipe. But -*• many men deny themselves this pleasure because they have had unhappy experiences with pipe tobaccos. Likely you have paid 35 cents to 50 cents for a tin of “fancy mixture,” and it burned your mouth or throat, or was unpleasantly strong. Too bad—but you got the wrong tobacco. The hundreds of thousands of men who have tried ThePerfaet TaSaceo for Pipe ard Cigarette have found the answer to their smoke prob lems. Tuxedo is the mildest tobacco made. It cannot bite the tongue or dry the throat. And it’s economical. There arc 40 pipe fuls in a ten-cent tin. You can’t get any better tobacco because nothing better grows than the mellow, perfectly aged Burley leaf used in Tuxedo. If you try Tuxedo for a month and cut out other smokes, you will not only have had the best month of smoking you have ever had in your life, hut you will have made a mighty big saving in your pocket- - money 1 YOU CAN BUY TUXEDO EVERYWHERE Famous green tin with gold let- 1 A tering, curved to fit the pocket lUC Convenient pouch, innmr-lined f with moisture-proof paper . .
