Negro “Deputy Sheriff” From Carolina
Took Shot at Man He Had in Custody
Aiken County Authorities Come Over For Bolden Brown, Who
Was Really Commissioned to Arrest a North Augusta Negro,
But He Shot the Negro After He Was Put Under Arrest.
Bolden Brown, the colored Carolina
constable (Bolden insisted ttjat the ti
tle of "deputy sheriff was rightfully
his) Is in the toils. It will be recall
ed that Bolden was deprived of his
liberty by a "heartless officer" be
cause ho was strolling along Center
street about 1 o’clock Sunday morning
keeping company with a pistol and a
pair of hand cuffs. His claim that he
was a deputy from Carolina didn't ex
actly satisfy the officer.
It now develops that Bolden really
had been commissioned by an Aiken
county magistrate to arrest a. North
Augusta negro. Evidently feeling that
his commission put him beyond the
pale of any law that might apply to
his own wrongdoing, Bolden took the
opportunity to take a pot shot at his
man, seemingly without any provoca
tion whatever. Unfortunately for all
parties concerned, he hit the man. He
was not wounded seriously.
The realization then came to Bolden
that, perhaps, he had been a little too
hasty, hence his side trip to Augusta.

Public Mind
RETAIL AND WHOLESALE
MERCHANTS.
To The Herald:
Are wholesale merchants treating re
tail merchants right?
I mean this: Is it right for wholesale
merchants to sell to consumers? The
retail man has to buy his goods from
the wholesale man. He pays the mar
ket price, hauls his goods to his store,
only to have a customer come in and
compare wholesale prices with his.
Possibly from the merchant, he has
just bought from.
How do you wholesale fellows feel
when a jobber sells direct to a re
tailer? You feel awful, don’t you.
Now is it right for them to ignore the
wholesale man? Certainly not. It has
to come through one of you fellows.
Why? Because you get a percentage,
and if it doesn't, you kick like thund
er. Then why ignore the retail man?
Yet the leading retail .grocery store
in Augusta can have a price of $5.60
per hundred on sugar and some of you
wholesale fellows will sell just a few
cents cheaper, in order to make the
sale. There are also two or three
packing houses in Augusta who will
sell as little as one 20-pound bucket
of lard and two hams to a consumer.
The wholesale houses expect the re
tail merchants to buy" from them.
Then -why don’t the wholesale houses
protect the retail merchants. . Is it
right for a wholesale house to sell the
consumer 1-4-sack flour, 7-pounds
meat and a variety of can goods? Just
60 per cent higher than he sells them
to the retailer? Now can the whole
sale men of Augusta expect the retail
merchants to do the amount of busi
ness he would otherwise? When they
sell to the consumer the same as to
the retail merchant.
This war of doing business hurts
both large and small merchants. Be
cause for three years I -was a sales
man in one of the leading grocery
stores of Augusta. And while there,
a day seldom passed in which a cus
tomer didn’t come in, and say what he
could buy at such and such a price, at
this or that wholesale house. Of course
he would always go out, thinking we
were charging too much. Could you
blame him? Could you expect him to
buy? Of course you couldn't. Yet
you expect us to buy from you, don’t
you? And for the sake of a few dol
lars, you cause the retail man no end
of trouble. Competition between re
tail merchants is great enough, with
out competing with you wholesale fel
lows and just for the sake of a few
dollars which rightfully belongs to the
retail man, tho he he large or small.
We have to buy our goods from you,
then why not protect us? You will
make your profit just the same and
we can make ours.
Just an hour ago, a consumer come
in, said he bought his goods at a cer
tain wholesale house in Augusta, every
two weeks, (about $7.00 or $8.00). But
wanted me to credit him for some
kerosene oil and a little meat, “till he
drew his money.” Well, I couldn’t
tell this man what I wanted to. I
simply had to be polite, yet refuse him
in such a way that he would always
feel welcome in my store.
Now in my vicinity, “and I think its
the same in others,’’ about $10,000.00
per year goes to Augusta merchants,
’’for groceries.” About $8,000.00 of
that goes to wholesale houses of Au
gusta Now doesn't that $8,000.00 right
fully belong to retail merchants in my
vicinity?
But the retail merchants of Augusta
are bothered just as much "in that re
spect’ as I am. So those of you who
are Interested, offer some suggestion
by which business will be better for
the retail merchant, and equally as
good for the wholesale man.
Hoping the retail men of Augusta,
and near-by towns will, "In the future,"
be shown more consideration by whole
sale merchants. I am,
Yours, very truly.
"A RETAILER.”

DIED, HOSPITAL
Harlem Man Who Was Shot
Accidentally By His 13-Year-
Old Cousin Passed Away at 3
O’clock Wednesday.
Mr. John F. Whitaker, of Harlem,
who was accidentally shot by his
cousin near Harlem on Monday, died
in the city hospital this morning at 3
o’clock. Mr. Whitaker was shut while
hunting with a crowd of men and
boys. The load of shot entered his
right side, breaking several ribs and
piercing the kidney. He was brought
to the hospital here immediately.
Information from the hospital yes
terday was to the effect that Mr.
Whitaker’s condition was not neces
sarily serious and that, barring com
plications, he should be out in a few
claps. Hence the news of his sudden
death this morning comes as quite a
shock. The immediate reason, for
death was the failure of the left kid
ney to perform the kidney functions.
The hospital authorities, in stating
that Mr. Whitaker’s condition was not
so serious, believed that these func
tions would he properly taken care of
by the kidney that was not injured.
Normally this would have been true.
Mr. Whitaker was 42 years of age.
A wife and five children survive him.
He will be buried tomorrow morning
at Linwood, near Harlem.
FUNERAL LITTLE HAROLD
HENNING HAYNIE TODAY
Was Held From the Residence
at 3 O’clock This Afternoon.
Interment in City Cemetery.
The funeral services over the re
mains of little Harold Henning Haynie
were held from the residence at three
o’clock this afternoon and the inter
ment was in the city cemetery. There
was a large number of friends present
and the funeral was one of the saddest
ever held in this community.
The tragic manner in which the lit
tle fellow met his death only added to
the sadness of the affair and the grief
stricken parents have not yet realized
their loss. They are in a dazed con
dition, not having been able to fully
grasp the solemn truth.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. (}. D. Stone, assisted by
Rev. W. T. Hamby, the former pastor
of the Woodlawn Methodist church and
the latter presiding elder of the Au
gusta district.
The floral tributes were among the
most beautiful ever at a funeral in
Augusta and they attested the great
esteem in which the family is held.
The sincere sympathy of hundreds
of people is extended to the be

"Polly of tho Circus.”
Miss Elsie St. Leon, in the role of
Polly, the little circus girl in Margaret
Mayo’s remarkable domestic comedy
drama, produced originally by Frederic
Thompson, which conies to the Grand
New Year's Day-, matinee and evening,
is the first really grown-up part that
Elsie St. Leon lias played. At that.
It is not so very much grown-up. The
little equestrienne is supposed to ho
18 years old and that is Miss St. Leon's
age to a month. “Polly of the Cir
cfls,” besides being one of the largest
productions ever made, is intricate and
difficult to handle. For the circus
scene of the last act, it is necessary
to so arrange a network of ropes that
the tent can he erected and cleared
away in an almost Incredibly brief
time. One scene is that of an actual
ring performance with acrobats, jug
glers and a dozen animals all in ac
tion. The next scene is that of a va
cant lot. To preclude any possibility
of impatience on the part of the audi
ence, it is necessary to make a com
plete change in less than fifty sec
onds.
The company which supports Miss
St. Leon is one of unusual strength.
It numbers a great many members of
the original "Polly of the Circus” cast
and others chosen for their respective
parts, including George St. Leon, the
famous acrobat and bareback rider,
ami his beautiful horses.
Seats arc now selling.
Miss Maude Adams.
"The Legend of Leonora,” the work
which Maude Adams is making her
piece de resistance this season, and
in which she is to come forward at
the Grand next Tuesday evening only,
is the first long play that J. M. Barrie
has turned out since “What Every Wo
man Knows.” It is also the fifth of
his plays that the actress has made
known in this country. One cannot
help thinking of how useful Barrie and
Miss Adams have been to one another.
The author’s first big success came
In the dramatization of “The Little
Minister” for Miss Adams and in which
she made her bow as a star. "Quality
Street" followed to be succeeded ha
turn by “Peter Pan’’ of pleasant mem
ory, and “What Every Woman Knows."
It is felt'that all of these plays will
hear revival by Miss Adams such are
their lasting anil agreeable qualities.
If Miss Adams were not ambitious
to be seen in new roles, it Is said that
she could keep on presenting “Peter
Pan" until the end of the chapter. "The
Legend of Leonora" treats of a most
fascinating creature who had the te
merity to push a brute of a man from
a moving train thereby causing him
to fall to his death. Such is Leonora
and despite her rash act she finds not
the slightest difficulty in getting
strong men to rush to her assistance
and declare that what she did was
within reason. Such is the power of
fascinating woman. The role is a blend
of many women and one of the best
that the author has given the actress
to interpret. The shorter play, “The
Ladles’ Shakespeare,” which is also to
be given, is said to be delightful in
every way.

SEVEN REELS OF PHOTO
PLAY AT MODJESKA TODAY
Seven good and interesting reels are
being shown today and evening at the
Modjeska theatre. The fifth episode
of the great and mystifying serial,
"Zudora,” entitled "The Case of the
Perpetual Glare,” is the leader-off of
the marvelous program. Then there
are two comedies, a Keystone and an
Essanay, the former entitled, “Wild
West Love" and the latter, “Snake
ville’s Reform Wave,” “In Fear of His
Fast,” a Majestic feature in two parts
is also enhancing in interest, and is
thrilling throughout. The Vitagraph
play, “Everything Against Him,” is
another notable event on the program.
. The story of today, Zudora, opens in
the mystic room where Hassam All
evokes evil spirits. The success of
Zudora in solving the mysteries given,
more as a penace than in the hope of
her success, Hassam Ali decides to
trick her. He arranges for two old
men, twins, to come to him and seek
his aid in finding a wonderful stone#
Kooh-I-Noor, of matchless brilliance.
Zudora is called in and given thiH
case, little realizing that she is being
tricked. In reality these two gen
tlemen aro possessors of a wonderful
invention that can throw a ray of light
that will set an object on fire miles
away. She goes to the home of the
twins and they tell her that the Jewels
have the strength of an eternal fire.
She almost at once comes in con
tact with the rays of the object she
seeks. Her hat catches on fire, then
a book. She Jumps on a load of hay,
and that catches fire. Frightened, she
seeks the aid of her sweetheart, John
Storm. Meanwhile Storm has made an
Investigation of Hassam, accusing
him of the trick, and in the dim cham
ber of the mystic room they struggle.
Storm goer, out after his sweetheart,
and he and Zudora are found by the
twins. They desire their invention to
startle the world, not to be used in
the evil way of Hassam All.
Storm gnaws his way through the
ropes and fres Zudora. Zudora In
tends to abandon the solving of the
mystery. Storm and his sweetheart
return to 'he twins' abode, and it is he
who realty finds the twins’ secret. Ho
attempts to destroy the arrangement.
Hassam is still active and employs
ruffians to destroy the place. Zudora
gets Storm out Just os the place Is
blown Into the air.

won’t regret it.
