A. R. C. Grid Schedule Is
Announced; Most oi Games
to Be Played In Augusta
The athletic management of
Richmond Academy, announces be.
low the football schedule for the
coming season. It will be noted
that the great majority of games
are to be played in Augusta; also
that the days on which these games
are scheduled are about equally di
vided between Fridays and Satur
days. This was done in an effort
to accomodate both groups of
fans who can best attend on these
respective days.
In bringing most of the games to
Augusta the management hopes to
encourage the growing football
spirit which has been more and
more manifest in and around Au
gusta during the past two or three
years. TKe possibilities of the team
and this spirit of interest on the
part of the supporting public, grow
simultaneously. The growth and de
velopment of this spirit will be an
asset to Augusta and the surround
ing community. Jjio the manage
ment is calling upon the town to
rally to the Support of our team
this season as was done so splen
didly last year. We make no pre
dictions about the kind of football
machine our coaches will turn out.
But we have the utmost confidence
in our .coaches and in the teams
they develop.
It is the purpose of the manage
ment to place on sale season tic
kets for the football games to be
played in Augusta this year. Any
changes from the schedule given
below will not effect the value of
ticket, as it is our purpose to play
the seven games here whether or
not a change may subsequently
be made in the team we will play.
The price of the season ticket will
be $3.50. The general charges for
the games will be 75c. for men
and 50c. for ladies and children. For
(he Riverside game on Thanksgiv
ing, the charges will be $1 straight
for everybody except the Academy
cadets, to whom a concession of
price will be granted as already
explained to them. With the plac
ing of a new field, or gridiron, at
Warren Park and the erection there
of sideline seats on both sides of

NEGRO VIEWS DEATH
WHEN GREAT GOB OF
PLASTERING FALLS
Quite a furore was created at
City Hall during the early part of
Tuesday, when nearly every city
employee in the building became
frightened by a terrible crash and
roar, as if a big bomb had been set
off. Several of them say they
thought an anarchist's work was
getting in its deadly effect.
A horror-stricken yell was heard
issuing from the throat of one of
the colored janitors, who came
rushing out of the smaller rooms
covered from head to foot with a
whitish powder, in the throes of an
awful terror. His face was the pic
ture of extreme fear an® his voice
was raised in cry after cry, higher
and higher in pitch..
When the officials and clerks
were finally ab)e to collect them
selves they set about trying to col
lect the panic-stricken janitor,
which feat was not accomplished
until the cause of the panic was dis
covered.
Entering the little room the ne
gro had emerged from, one of the
officials found thaht a big piece of
plastering, about fifteen feet square,
had fallen.
Then, and only then, was it pos
sible to make the negro believe he
was not killed.

at the March term, 1918, of the su
perior court of Richmond county for
the killing of his wife nt her resi
dence on Twelfth street, nnd sen
tenced to life in the Georgia peni
tentiary, was parold Monduy by or
der of Governor Clifford Walker.
His application for parole was

Donald and was endorsed by Judge
Henry G. Hammond, trial Judge,
and Judge A. L. Franklin, who was
at the time of the trial solicitor
general of the Augusta circuit, and
eleven of the trial Jurors. The ap
plication for pnrole was based on
the fact that Kelly was denied the
testimony of several soldier wit
nesses who would have testified in
his favor at the trial, hut they were
sent to France before the easo
charging him with murder was call
ed in court.
Kelley was well known ad quite
active in politics in this city nt one

fession, and lived with his wife
prior to the time the couple were
divorced, at 718 Twelfth street, this
city. On the night of the killing
Kelley paid a visit to his former
wife at her residence, and finding
her in company of a man by the
name of Tom J. Smith, he fired at
Smith, the bullet passing through
the man's arm and fatally wounding
the woman. As a result Kelly was
convicted at his trial on the charge
of murder and sentenced to a term of
life imprisonment in the Georgia
penitentlay. He was serving time
at the state farm at the time he
was paroled by Governor Clifford
Walker nnd had been Imprisoned for

NERVOUSNESS
Chronic Nervousness is deep-seated and seems to want to hold on
tenaciously. If it continues long, other disorders crop out. Very
nervous folks usually have indigestion and are troubled with constipa
tion.
To overcome these body deficiencies people resort to methods
which afford but temporary relief at best. To be well from such
troubles the nervous circuit must be cleared of its obstructions.
When the Vital Force flows unretarded and in proper quantity from
the brain to all parts of the body over the nerves, the body will be
well.
The reason it does not so flow in cases where health is less than
normal is that Borne one or more of the vertebrae (small bones) of the
spinal column are out of position. Being a little out of position means,
most likely, comnaratively little trouble. But trouble of this kind will
grow in proportion as these vertebrae continue to become displaced
in degree.
Chronic Nervousness can be overcome by Chiropractic Adjust
ments.
Chiropractic Adjustments are the best life insurance poaaible for
the ill and broken down.

On Hike From Boston to Texas,
Three Pretty Girls Spend
Day and Night Here
There are three of them, nnd they
are on a hike from Itoston, Mass., to
San Antonio, Tex.
The Herald office experienced a
pleasant. Invasion Monday afternoon
by three bright countenanced und
happy young women who are making
a leisurely hiking jaunt through aec
tioriH of the south on their way to
far off San Antonio, thn home of the
eldest of the trio. They left Boston
June 21st, of this year, and calculate
to arrive at their destination on or
before the coming New Year day.
Two of them are southern glrla and
t lie third Ih a New Yorker. Drenspil
in ltliakl knickers, wearing Texas
sombreros, and with healthy nppear
nnco that betokened their life In (he
open, the three girls presented on at
tractive appearance ns they entered
thn Herald sanctum and caused an
upset of tlie sporting editor's usual
complacency when they called for him
by name.
In the party are Mlaa Kay Mack,
21 yeura old, horn In Sydney, Austra
lia. Her home is now San Antonio,
Tex., with her father. She ip a gradu
uate of the Rosa Physical Education
School, Huntington Ave., Huston,
where she has attended since leaving
her Texas borne about blx years ago.
Miss Mink went from lief homo to
Jacksonville, and from there bv boat
to Norfolk, Vs. From Norfolk «ho
hiked It to Boston accompanied by
three other girls, one of whom was
suffering with pulmonary trouble nt
the time. The sick girl gained 27
pounds In weight during the hike to
Owiton and regained her health.
Miss Mack Is a vivacious young wom
an, with expressive brown eyes, dark
brown hair- bobbed of course and a
drawl 111 her speaking that has lost
none of Its Texas born music through
I absorbing lonoa from the northern
brogue. blender of build, as she Is,
she shows the graee and agility of a
dyer and a like hardiness.
Miss Kula Foxworthy, one of the
trio of hikers. Is 20 years old, native
of New York, nnd a sprightly miss of
charming wavs. With sparkling black
eyes nnd hah bobbed, of rourse—to
mntch she exhibits a magnetism of
personality that Is alluring She Is
making the hike wtlh the other two
girls "Just for the fun of It: and we
do have lots of fun along the way,"
classes. A great number of hounds
and other sporting dogs have al
ready been entered within the 100
mile radius, known In the rules as
loral territory. But there have been
comparatively few poodles and oth
er toy types. Officials are going out
after these, realizing that there are
some fine blooded poodles in Au
gusta nnd surrounding country, and
feeling sure that there must besotho
prize winners among them.
SEVEN
said Mlsa Foxworthy. "I enjoy every
minute of it," she continued.
Mlsa Gladys J. Williams is the baby
of the party, Just now rounding her
nineteenth year; but she ilka the
other two, is ' ill of pep and getting
a Jolly time out of the hike. A de
cided blonde with light blue eyes, und
light brown hail —bobbed, of course—
ami dimples In her cheeks that give
an added touch to her pretty lace
when sho smiles. Her home is in
New Orleans, to where she will re
turn following her visit at the home
of Miss Mack in Texas. Miss Wil
liams says that, although site is en
joying the leisurely travel a la hike
through the country, she is anxious
ly looking forward to the day when
she will get to her home and be able
to "wear dresses like other folks" and
let her hnlr grow long again. 1 want
to get home, settle down, get married
and plan for a home that I can
call all my home, and ," and
here, with u dreamy look In her eyes
that seemed to vision a future of hap
piness, the girl voiced some of the
more Intlmnte hopes that she holds
for the years to come In making that
homp.
The girls travel only by day. stop
ping at some farm house for the
night when they happen to be in the
vicinity of one, and in the cities and
towns stopping some time for a day
or two. They "travel light” as to
baggage, only carrying such neces
sary articles for toilet usage as they
can conveniently and without weari
ness puck along the road. They say
that, they liavu varied experiences in
their journeylngs, but none of them
unpleasant. And especially through
thin section of the country have they
inet with courteous and cordial
treatment. They are paying their
way as they go soliciting subscrip
tions for publications of a New York
publishing house. Ho far they have
met with no embarrassments finan
cially, they said, and should such oc
cur they could be well provided for
by sending word to the home folks
They have visited all the larger cities
on their way through the Virginias
and the Carolines and have met with
cordial reception wherever they have
stopped. The hike Is taken by them
"for the fun. of the thing." and It Is
probable that after spending a short
while at the Texan home of Miss
Mack the young women will s»t out
on another Journey. All three of them
express desire to make a trip Into
Florida, hut as yet their plans do not
contemplate any definite objective.
"After we have rested up a bit at.
Dad's I guess we’ll set out again; frr
l have the Wanderlust Just awful at
times," said Miss Mack.
The young women evidence culture
and refinement. They left Augusta
Tuesday afternoon, and will make
their way to Atlanta where they ex
pect to call on the governor.
