... THE...
Public Mind
(The Herald welcomes contributions
to the “Public Mind” column. In fact
it is a column for the people to speak
their mind on every question of pub
lic interest. However, the editor of
this column -equests that contributors
make their communications io the
point. A half dozen short communi
cations are worth a great deal more
jnyway than one a column in length.
Jine can say a great deal in a dozen
or more lines and in a quarter of a
column can almost write a history.

STREET SIGNS.
To the Herald:
Allow me space in s’our Speak the
Public Mind column to write a few
lines in regard to our street signs. The
city has gone to the expense on two
occasions to my knowledge and gotten
out nice street signs to mark our
streets with but instead of placing
them on posts on the corners, made
suitable for them, they have been nail
ed to buildings, fastened to fence cor
ners low down where children and
mischievous boys can hammer on and
scratch and deface them so they can
not be read. Some of them have been
destroyed and thrown away. I have
noticed on several occasions where
mischievous boys or some one has
changed the signs from one street to
another, which no doubt would mis
lead strangers. The writer on one oc
casion tore down an old corner build
ing on which the street signs were
fastened and as there was not any
place to put them" I turned them over
to one of our council members who
lived nearby. I also know of other
buildings which have been torn down
on which the street signs were at
tached. It seems to me that it would
1 e less expensive to the city to have
the street signs placed on iron posts
near the curb on the corners, out of
reach of mischievous boys. T would
like for some one else to write their
opinion on a better way to mark our
beautiful streets than the one in use
at the present time.
AN INTERESTED PARTY.
THE WIFE SHINING SHOES.
To the Herald:
We are very much interested in
what has been written concerning the
wife, love—and—shining shoes.
Poor Mr. Bachelor! What must his
conception of love be? No wonder he
is a bachelor.
For our part we think that if the
man really loves his wife he will not
ask her to shine his shoes or either
leave his clothes to be picked up by
her. We think as the “Augusta Girl"
thinks. That is, that a man should not
marry a girl unless he can care for
her as he is cared for at home. But if
it’s true that "when muddy shoes come
in the door loves flies out the win
dow” love must be flying quite a bit
at present on account of the rather
wet weather we are having now.
TWO BACHELOR GIRLS.
FIRECRACKER QUESTION.
To the Herald:
To the good citizens of this city. I
have studied this matter of shooting
fire works on the coming Christmas,
and I think it is a shame not to let the
citizens have some pleasure at least
one day out of a year. I think that
the city council did a wrong thing
when they made a rule for ruling out
fire works in this city this year. If
anything was to be ruled out of this
city it ought to be whiskey. Fire works
do not cause accidents of any kind of
ten, and whiskey causes accidents ev
ery day, whiskey is the cause of the
poor and needy children who wish to
have Santa Claus visit their home and
who are looking on the good citizens
of this city to give them their Santa
Claus and keep them in food and cloth
ing the whole year round. I do hon
estly think that instead of stopping
fire works shooting at Christmas they
ought to stop the sale of whiskey in
this city, and stop these gambling
houses that are being run day and
night. Instead of stopping the sale of
whiskey and beer, the city council de
creases the taxes from SI,OOO to $750.
I do honestly think that this is a

shame and disgrace to this city and
its good citizens. If whiskey is stopped
there are more children that can go,
to school. I have went to school bare
footed and half-clothed to get an ed
ucation. This was caused by whiskey,
beer and gambling. Why not stop
these places from being run first
before stopping fire works and other
entertaining things for children and
grown ups? Whiskey is not an enter
tainment for no one, but it is a dis
grace to all. I think that in the next
election the voters ought to vote out
whiskey and beer. I hope that all
Christian people of this city will con

and will surely agree with me. Thank

KOLEHMANINEN WON
NATIONAL SENIOR
CROSS-COUNTRY RUN
New York.—Hannes Kolehmainen,
wearing the colors of the Irlsh-Amerl
can Athletic Club, won the national
cross-country six-mile run of the
Amateur Athletic Union today In 38:36
a new record for the Van Cortlandt
courses.
“The course Is laid out over stiff
hills and dale country. Among other
obstacles was a formidable water
jump, where each of the contestants
got an Ice-cold mud bath. Kolehmai
nen led all the way, winning by about
sixty yards from Arthur J. Fogel of
the Irish-Amerlcan Athletic Club, who
finished thirty yards ahead of hlfv
clubmate, Thomas Barden. Fogel'*
time was 33.49.
The team prize was won by the
Irish-Amerlcan Athletic Club with 16
points. The New York Athletic Club
was second with 49, and Mercury Ath
letic Club, Philadelphia, third, with 60
points. There were twenty-one
starters.
NEW REVENUE CUTTERS.

fear she wandered away during a
peried of mental depression.
Tubman Girls Found Their Match In
Thomson’s Basketball Team Friday
Game Went to Augustans By Score of 20 to 15, and Contest
Was One of Most Exciting Ever on Tubman High School’s
Court---Playing of Miss Sara Morris, For Tubman, Was a
Feature.
The Tubman High School basket
ball team bears the unique distinction
of not having lost but one game in the
past two years, and in these two years
of victories it probably never had to
play as hard to win a game as Friday
afternoon ■when they were met by the
fast aggregation of the Thomson High
School on Tubman’s court.
The score—2o to 15—In a great
measure tells the story, as far as the
two teams as a whole are concerned.
It is safe to say It was as close a game
as Tubman cares to play. At one time
there was not but two points dif
ference in the score, but the Augusta
girls managed to keep the difference
in their favor all the while.
Credit to Miss Morris.
Too much credit can not be given
Miss Eara Morris, one of the centers
for Tubman. She is an excellent
player—fast, nimble and accurate —•
and knows the game thoroughly, but
on this occasion she out-classed her
playing in any previous game.
Miss Hazel Murray, Tubman's stnr
goal thrower, scored 19 out of the 20
points for her team, and it was largely
due to the other center, that these
chances were given Miss Murray to
throw the goals. Unlike the boys’
game, the girls are required to re
main in a restricted area on the court
during the playing. Therefore, no
single player can possibly win the
game unassisted.
For the Thomson team Miss Mad
lock was the star. The coolness and
accuracy with which she would throw
the goals for her side simply amazed
the spectators. On several occasions
she threw foul goals that were per
fect, If there are such things as “per
fect” foul goals.

BT MOT
Each Also Given 12 Months on
Public Works, But That Por
tion Was Suspended on Con
dition That They Not Operate
Saloons
On Saturday, December 13th, Judge
Wm. F. Eve passed sentence on the
cases of .1. A. Stewart, convicted of
running a disorderly house, and of
Clarence Epps and Tom Ray, who
pleaded guilty to the same offense,
all three being conected with the
I place formerly known as "The Dip.”
In passing sentence Judge Eve said:
“Realizing that the object and pur
'pose of our penal laws is the mainte
nance of the good order, peace and
dignity of the community and not the
making of victims of the wreaking of
vengeance on those who violate the
law; that the real object Is primarily
the suppression of crime and the pre
vention of violations of the law, with,
if possible, the ultimate reformation
of the offender, which object should
he kept in view by the court adminis
tering the law; I do not propose to
pass such a sentence upon these de
fendants as some, perhaps, would wish
who desire to see the defendants in
stripes upon the public roads. I am
endeavoring to administer Justice, but
at the same time to do it with as much
mercy and with as much moderation
as the circumstances will permit;
keeping, as 1 have said, in view the
stopping of the violation of the law
and the reformation of the convicted
parties.”
Judge Eve then sentenced J. A.
Stewart to pay S3OO and serve twelve
months on the public roads. Clarence
Epps and Tom Ray he sentenced to
pay SIOO each and serve twelve
months. All three sentences on the
public works he suspended during
good behavior, putting the defendants
on parole to report weekly to Judge
Guy Sturgis, the County Probation Of
ficer. None of them shall ever again
open or operate a public house, or
sell or cause to be sold any Intoxicat
ing beverage. Should any of the con
ditions be violated the sentences will
take effect automatically.
