SATURDAY NIGHT
FORECAST
Mercury Has Constantly Trav
eled Downward Since Friday.
Will Be Fair Weather Sunday.
The weather man has arranged for
a little cold weather to follow the dis
agreeable rain of yesterday. In the
afternoon the mercury started on its
downward journey, reaching 46 at 8
o’clock and 41 at midnight. Encour
aged by this success, the silvery metal
"girded up its loins" in a manner of
speaking, and raced down to the 34th
degree, reaching this point at 8 o’clock
this morning. Later reports indicate
that the traveling is still good. Mr.
Emigh, official starter, states that the
journey will continue, at a somewhat
decreased speed, throughout the day,
the final stop probably being made at
Station 25 Saturday night or early
Sunday.
The weather will continue cloudy
during the day. Tomorrow will bn
fair.

THOUGHT 'PIS
WINE
In Consequence of Mistake Lee
Martin, Young White Man, in
Serious Condition.
Drinking half of the contents of a
bottle of bromo-chloral, Lee Martin,
a young white man, is in a very se
rious condition at the home of his
father-in?law, about ten miles from
Augusta on the Wrightsboro Road.
Martin was being joked by several
young men, they charging him with
being hen-pecked. They dared him to
drink the bromo-choral, telling him
that it was wine. The young man
also thought that the bottle contained
wine and he drank about half of it
before discovering his mistake, al
though the fact that bromo-choral and
wine do not taste alike should have
stopped him before he drank so much,
so it would seem.
Dr. G. V. Baxley, of Grovetown, was
sent for Friday about 1 o’clock and
worked with Martin until 9 o’clock
Friday night. Dr. Baxley stated Sat
urday that he thought the young man
had a good chance to recover. Martin
is said to live in Augusta but his home
does not appear in the city directory.

TWO CELEBRATIONS
“ftw, Gome On; Be a Lave One 199l 99
WEATHER HAD FOR
CHRISTMAS CAROLS
Disagreeable Weather Marred
Event-- Large Crowd Present
in Spite of Rain.
Quite a large number enjoyed the
Christmas carols at Barrett Plaza last
evening, in spite of the bad weather.
On account of the rain which ad fallen
steadily throughout the day, the Wo
man's Club, which fiad the affair in
charge, had cancelled their plans for
the occasion, these plans including en
tertainment by a band and the illu
mination of the Christmas tree which
had been Bet up on the vacant lot im
mediately north of the Plaza Hotel.
However, at the appointed hour, 6
o'clock, the members of St. Paul’s Sun
day school gathered at the Plaza, and,
in addition, there were a number of
others drawn by the desire to hear
the beautiful Christmas music.
Meeting at St. Paul’s church short
ly before 6 o'clock, the members
marched through the streets to tin-
Plaza, each one carrying a candle and
all singing hymns appropriate to the
occasion. After gathering at the tree,
Dr. Howard T. Cree made a short talk
appropriate to the Christmas season,
after which the singers delighted the
audience with a number of carols. Dr.
G. Sherwood Whitney closed the pro
gram with a short prayer and bene
rltctlon. The singers then marched
through the streets to the Widows’
Home, the hospital, and the Jail and
charmed the inmates with their beau
tiful songs.
It was conclusively demonstrated
that this is one of the best of ways
to celebrate Christmas and next year
the Woman’s Club will, undoubtedly,
proceed with plans to make the oc
casion even more enjoyable.

FRENCH RECRUIT CLASS OF
1914 IS READY FOR DUTY
Paris.—The class of 1914 recruits
called out two months In advance of
its time, has now had three months
of training and is reported by its
commanding officers and Instructors
to be ready for action.
This, it 1h said may seem a re
markably short time In which to whip
Into shape, discipline and aecustotn
to the hard duties of a campaign, an
army of 250,000 21 year old men, but
it Is explained, however, that the ma
terial was excellent. Their fine phys
ical condition is attributed largely to
the development of sport. There tiro
many indications that tliene young
soldiers are now near the fighting
lino.
The recruits of 1915, called out ono
year before their time, have Just pass
ed the medical examination hut the
year's difference In age does not show
the anticipated difference in physical
fitness. The proportion of accepted
men will not fall far short of the pro
portion of the class of 1914. These
soldiers will shortly leave to take the
place of the preceding class In the
instruction camps, and It Is expected
that they will he reudy for active ser
vice by March.
The class of 1915 will be Increased
by a largo number of men exempted
In recent years and probably amount
to about 350,000 men.
