Half Holiday for the Kiddies. Is First Time in History That
Not a Full Holiday Has Been Given School Children.
New Rules Recently Made Governing All Holidays.
tor the first time in the history of
the public schools of Augusta, the an
niversary -of the birth of General Robt.
E. Lee will not be celebrated this
year with the full holiday in the pub
lic schools. According to new rules
adopted at the meeting of the Board
of Education of this county held
shortly before Christmas, Lee’s birth
day was named as one of the days on
which only a half holiday shall be
declared instead of a whole day, as
in the past.
The schools of Augusta and Rich

Cotton Readies the 81-8 Cents For
Middling, Which is 1-8 Advance
Market Again Goes up and Spirits of the People Are Boosted
in Proportion. Georgia Railroad & Banking Company Pays
Quarterly Dividend of $126,000.
Middling cotton was quoted Monday
at x 1-8 cents a pound. This is one
eighth of a cent per pound greater
than Saturday. The rise in the price
of cotton has made Augusta business
men and the people generally in this
city and throughout this section feel
much better.
Cotton has gone up over a cent in
about a month. Some cotton men are
selling at eight and eight and one
eighth cents, but many are holding
HOSPITAL WORK
Mm HAZARDOUS
Along the Rivers and Canals of
the North Since Hostilities
Have Settled Down to a Siege
Paris—Since hostilities settled down
to a siege along the rivers and canals
of the north, the average number of
casualties per day seems to have les
sened. But the work of the ambu
lance department, is all the more haz
ardous. Men who fell In pitched bat
tles were often lost In concealed
places, but what is worse now is that
they often lie in plain sight obliged to
wait for hours, sometimes for days
before it is possible for their com
rades to pick them up. It is often too
late.
When a man is wounded in the
trenches he is able to get back to the
field hospital, if he can walk; if not
he must wait until night because the
trenches are so narrow that the
stretcher bearers cannot carry a
wounded man through them; he must
be lifted out and carried back above
ground.
When a charge is made between the
lines of trenches and proves to bp un
successful, the wounded of Course
must be left; in too many cases they
are actually sacrificed and their com
rades obliged to see them lying help
lessly between two fires. Sometimes
they see them raise a hand and occa
sionally thy hear their despairing
cries, but to attempt to save them is
out of the question.
Cases have been reported In which
men charging against barbed-wire de
fenses and wounded In the attempt
have been left for days hanging in
the tangled wires.
The chaplain of a French regiment,
describing the work of the ambulance
corps after a great battle, says:
Long Tour.
“We had a long evening tour to
make as we were obliged to visit tho
advance posts of Rozolieres, Remen
nnville and Gerbvillers. Without lan
terns, In order not to betray our po
sition we advanced silently over roads
gashed by shells and deeply rutted by
heavy artillery. From the hill tops
we saw a ruddy glow from burning
villages.
"Here and there were flashes of
light, followed by the explosions of
shells and through the sky veritable
furrows of fire. It was all that re
vealed the sinister presence of hostile
armies. The silence was impressive
at times; cut only. by the cawing of
crows and the reports of artillerv.
"We found Rozelieres; deserted,
ruined; only a few houses still stand
ing and they were burning. Itenon
vllle was unrecognizable. We found
thirty wounded but we could take only
ten of the worst. ,
"The road to Gerbevillers, bordered
by tall poplars, runs along the Prus
sian lines; in daylight we should have
been wiped out.
"It was nearly midnight when we
reached the entrance to the village—
the theater of deadly conflicts for ten
days.
"The little hospital there seemed
asylum in hell; alone It stood in the
midst of the collapsed town, saved
♦hanks to the presence of woufided
Germans. Built to accommodate 30,
it sheltered 130 and reeked with the
odor of blood, powder and drugs; we
could take only 30 of the most serious
cases. The task of sorting them out
was heartrending, they were all in
such sore need. As we started out
the shells began to fall again thick
and fast all around us and between
the roaring crashes we heard the
groans and supplications of the
wounded In the ambulance behind;
one crying constantly for 'mother.'"

doing so exercises appropriate of the

of the public schools by order of Sup

It is the contention of the board of
education, as shown by the results of
its meeting in December, that it is
better to lose less time from school

ROUBAIX UNDER
IN ill NANO
Wife of Manufacturer of That
Once Prosperous City Es
caped and Tells Tale of Rav
ages There.
Paris.—Madame Dufour, wife of a
manufacturer at Roubaix, who ha 3
managed to escape from that once
prosperous commercial city, gave to
day a very interesting account of what
has been happening there since the
German occupation.
More fortunate than its neighbor,
Idlle, Roubaix seems so far to have
escaped bombardment. But times have
not been very cheerful for the Rou
baisians all the same. As soon as the
Germans occupied the city, they, as
usual, took a dozen hostages, among
them the mayor, M. Bellas. They,
then, by proclamation, gave three days'
grace to the manufacturers and pro
prietors In tvhieh to deliver all the
merchandise, and especially the met
als, they had in their possession. As
the goods were delivered they were
despatched to Germany, except such
of them as took the fancy of the Ger
man officers and non-commissioner
officers.
Roubaix is a center of the furriers'
industry, and the weather was cold
enough to make furs very welcome
So there was seen the curious spec
tacle of mounted officers with ladles'
fur around their neck. The non-com
missioned officers had to content them
selves, as befitted their inferior rank,
with cashmere shawls.
War Indemnity.
As soon as they had occupied the
town the Invaders levied a war indem
nity of $1,000,000, and suppressed all
the local newspapers, publishing a
sheet of their own, which contained
nothing but the news of French and
Russian defeats.
Madame Dufour says that the Ger
man engineers have mined the railway
stations, the Mairie, three bridges, and
several streets of the town. About a
month ago 60,000 troops were taken
from the army of occupation and sent
to fight on the Yser. Only 20,000 re
turned a fortnight later. The rest
were killed, wounded, or prisoners.
The Germans are continually re
peating to the Rouhaisians that Bel
gium and Northern France now form
a part of the German empire. The
troops are also being taught to sing
the "Marseillaise” in French, and
these singing lessons are not very
pleasant hearing for the Invaded pop
ulation, especially as it is known that
they are designed to enable the Ger
mans to deceive the Allies on the bat
tlefield.
There are signs that the Germans
mean to make a fierce stand at Lille.
They have sent machine guns In the
station square, on the Grand-place,
und even at the windows of private
houses.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON’T USE SOAP
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very Injurious, as It dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Just plain
mulslfled eocoanut oil, for this Is
pure and entirely greaseless. It’s
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole fam
ily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and nib It In, about a teaspoon
ful la all that Is required. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath
er. cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and Is soft, fresh look
ing. bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust,

MINISTER SITS
REFORMATORY IS
A ‘REFORMATORY’
Rev. Mr. Wiggins Pictures
Conditions as Deplorable.
“We Cannot Do Much Better
Unless We Get Money," Says
Member Reformatory Board.
Rev. S. P. Wiggins, pastor of St.
John Methodist church, in his sermon
Sunday morning, made an attack on
the manner in which the Richmond
County Reformatory Institute is con
ducted. Mr. Wiggins stated to a re
porter Monday morning that he visited
the reformatory late in December and
that he found conditions deplorable.
That portion of the sermon which
referred to the reformatory specifi
cally was as follows:
‘I have visited all kinds of pris
ons, city and county Jails, penitenti
aries and i haingangs, but I have never
yet seen anything to compare with
our ’county reformatory.’ It is a veri
table cesspool of uncleannoss and of
evil. There is manifest not the slight
est pretense of sanitation, and we were
told that the only moral or religious
instruction received is given by an old
and ignorant negro preacher, who
comes once a month and talks to the
boys—negroes and whites together.
"This is a disgrace to our county,
and an indictment of our Christian
civilization! Somebody is going to
have to give an account —if not to the
people of this county, then surely to
Almighty God—for tills crime against
youth, against public decency, against
the state and against God.
“Surely if the church had been faith
ful in her obligation to instruct and
form the ’social consciousness’ of our
city and county, no such degenerating
institution, posing under the euphoni
ous name of ‘reformatory,’ could exist.
We get a picture of how far short the
church has fallen in her solemn duty
of fashioning the social consciousness
when the authorities in charge of this
institution, forgetting their compact
with the state, with parents, and with
the court, seem to have only one pur
pose in view, and that is to make mon
ey out of it —to make money out of
wayward, delinquent boys. What a
monstrosity of evil! W’hat a miscar
riage of justice! What a mockery of
the law!”
A member of the reformatory board
stated Monday that Mr. Wiggins was
incorrect with reference to the reform
atory being a money-making institu
tion; that not only was no money
made, but that the institution is not
self-sustaining.
’’Up until five years ago the county
gave us an appropriation each year,”
said this gentleman, “but since that
time we have not received a penny of
aid from the county treasury. It was
usually on the recommendation of the
grand jury that we received money,—
about $3,000 per year—hut we get no
money now, even though grand Juries
recommend it. Unless we get some
assistance we cannot Improve condi
tions much. We have an antiquated
building with no waterworks system
and the sanitary conditions aro not
bad when it is taken into consider
ation that between thirty and forty
boys are kept there. As to the negro
preacher preaching to both white and
negro hoys, I think Mr. Wiggins has
not been Informed correctly.
"We need a new building and a great
many other things, but we haven't the
money and we must get money In or
der to help conditions very materially.
As to the lack of sanitation, the por
tion of the building to which Mr. Wig
gins probably refers is where the ne
gro boys are kept. The white hoys
stay in the portion of the buildings
occupied by the superintendent, and I
know It Is kept clean.”

of Waynesboro, at the time lie was
cashier of that bank, was brought to
Augusta Saturdny lind turned over to
the federal authorities, his Imndsmen,
Preston B. Buxton and .Jno. W. Mears,

$7,500 bond In the embezzlement case
for some time.
Last week Buxton was arrested for
attempting to rob the First National
Bank of Waynesboro. Later he con

to do with this latter case, however.
Buxton claims to have cleared him

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
ASSAILANT IS
YET AT LANGE
Policeman Smoak’s Condition
; Better. Cynthia Wilkerson,
! Negress, Whom Police Say
Knows Who Did the Shooting
Being Detained.
It was reported at the City Hospital
shortly before noon today that soma
Improvement had been noted in the
condition of Officer J. A. W. Smoak
I and that he was resting easy. The
[ chances now for his recovery are more
i favorable.
Smoak’s assailant is still at large.
Although the police are detaining
Cynthia Wilkerson, whoso house was
reported being burglarized Saturday
night and from wiiose house, the police
say, the negro who shot the officer
came out, it was stated by Chief El
liott this morning that ho is no nearer
finding out who the guilty one is than
he was Saturday night. He and the
detectives are exerting every effort to
ascertain the name of the man they
want, but just how soon Cynthia will
talk, if she does talk, is a matter no
one knows.
Up to noon Monday the negro wo
man had refused to tell anything that
could in any way help the police. The
chief states that he has never, in all
his career with the police department
here, ever seen any person who can
prevaricate, to put it rnidly, ilka
Cynthia.
Already, according to the chief, she
has made four or five different state
ments regarding the shooting in tho
rear of her house. Officer William
son. who went to the Wilkerson house
with Officer Smoak when they were
told by a negro boy that a burglar
was in the house, is said to have seen
Cynthia put her head out the window,
ns if she was looking for someone after
the shots were fired. Despite the fact
that tho officer saw her himself Cyn
thia made the statement to the chief
that she was not in the house when
the shots wore fired. The police here
have had similar dealings with her.
Once before It required three days to
extract information in a murder case,
which, if tho police could have ob
tained earlier, would probably have
led to the arrest of the guilty party.

“THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS.”
Harold Bell Wright, the author of
“The .Shepherd of tho Hills,” "The
Winning of Barbara Worth,” “The
Calling of Dan Matthews,” and “That
I’rintcr of Udells,” has mado, in col
laboration with Fishery W. Reynolds,
a dramatization of his most popular
story, "The Shepherd of the Hills.”
The play has received an excellent
production from GnsklU and Mac-
Vltty. It will ho presented at the
Grand tomorrow, matinee and even

"The Shepherd of tho Hills” Is a
splendid story of real life among the
Ozark Hills of Missouri and Arkan
sas. If you go there, you will easily
find a Mutton Hollow, a hill like
Dewey Bald, and people like Hammy
Lane, Young Malt, Mad Howard and
Father Wowltt. Clinging to tho beau
tiful story simply told, is the very
atmosphere of the life of the pictur
