Newspaper Page TextSUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 AUGUSTA-HER INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE CROWDS TO SWARM BROAD STREET TO SEE WHITE WAY i (Continued from page 5.) name, and we Augustans feel just feel as close to the Oarollnlaim as we do to the natives of Georgia. Augusta even now Is about fifty fifty between Georgians and Caro linians In the matter of population. Of course we want Governor Mc- Leod with us on this great occa sion ” The people In the section around Augusta, on both sides of the Sa vannah River, spend a great deal of their time, ordinarily in Augusta, and are quite familiar with every thing that is being done here: con sequently, they will be deeply in terested in the new white way. A few remarks as to the white way, though it may be a matter of re petition to a certain extent, would hardly go amiss here. City Elec trician D. R. Snider thinks. BROAD STREET WILL BE SEVEN TIMES BRIGHTER When the lights of the magnifi cent system are thrown on at six o’clock on the evening of Decem ber 8, according to Mr, Snider, it will be seven times brighter on Broad Street than it is now. It will be almost as bright. a<t day. Friday nlgiht. when the lights were turned on from Fifth to Ninth Street, it is said by people who saw it. that in standing on the corner of Broad and Eighth, it was a sim ple matter to recognize a man a block away! It was with all ease that the names in gold leaf on the front windows of the Lamar Build ing could be read from the oppo site side of the street! It was pos sible to distinguish anything that could be distinguished at a given distance In the daytime! The mW dle of Broad Street, declared one citizen, was as bright as it is under the brilliant marques of the Mod jeska theatre (that's going some!) It will be possible to stand In the middle of Broad Street at mid night on a cloudy night, Mr. Sni der claims, end read a newspaper, without any strain whatever on the eyes! Something els* about it: This type of street lighting is the latest and the most efficient known to all of the great national authorities on scientific lighting systems. It is not only the greatest system in the South, It Is the greatest east of the Rocky Mountains. Los Ange les, Cal., and Salt Jjake City, Utah, alone stand as the only other cities In the world with such lighting systems! Augusta will rank as one of the three only cities with It. THE NEW SYSTEM COST $45,000 The great system cost something more than $45,000. this amount being borne equally by the City Council of Augusta, the property owners and business men In the area affected and the Augusta- Aiken Railway & Electric Corpora tion. The big idea was conceived by City Electrician D. R. Snider, who, on conference with city officials, found that for the city to do it without help was entirely imprac ticable. He appealed to the Presi dents’ Club, and this organization started the organizing ball to roll ing by lining the Real Estate Board and the Board of Commerce up with them. These three represen tative bodies went to work together with Mr. Snider and worked out the plan of soliciting the aid of the pro perty owners and the Augusta- Aiken, after which they put the proposition up to the city. They worked on the property owners un til they raised the money and their first objective was reached. The Augusta-Aiken needed little urg ing to fall In line and City Council soon "saw the light," and this com pleted the drive. SWITCH WILL BE THROWN BY MAYOR Included In the general program of events for the night of the open ing is to have the mayor officially throw the switch for the first time.

Chairman Culley urges every merchant on Broad Street within the limits to give the white way every possible bit of advertising and publicity. He suggests also that they give particular stress to the date of the opening and the celebration that is to be presented at that time.

George T. Jackson, prominent North Augusta attorney and a member of Grace Church, will de liver the Thanksgiving address, due to the absence of Rev. T. C.

Murrah, well-known farmer of Edgefield county, living about eight miles from Augusta, went out into his garden the other day to dig the tubers from a volunteer sweet potato vine. It took him a long time to finish the work. The more he dug the more he found. Finally, when upon the upturning of the earth brought no new “sweet spuds” to light, he discover ed that the vine had pro duced 68 pounds eight pounds ovei* the bushel mark. Mr. Murrah brought the potatoes to the Herald office Friday afternoon, explaining that he believed the produc tion was a new high record for a single vine. The potatoes are of the Porto Rican variety, and the largest one weighs over ten pound. A volunteer vine Jn the same garden produced 41 pounds last year, he stated. MEAT A NECESSITY On the Table As a Strength Builder Fresh, wholesome meat Is the best known food for supplying necessary elements to strength building. Scientific search for cen turies has failed to find a sub stitute for meat that will fill the double bill of being just as good to the taste as well as just as nourish ing. No meal is complete without it and every member of the family eats it in some form or other, But meat can do the system vast harm if improperly handle!) before It goes on the table. Strict rules of sanitation must be followed in pre paring it and in selling it to the housekeeper. The Plaza Market carries a line of every kind of meat to be desired, beef, pork, lamb, mutton, sausage, bacon and every conceivable va riety of sea-food. Their phone num ber Is 1845 and they are located at 312 Ninth street. LITTLE JESSIE JAMES It Ain’t So Good and it Ain’t So Bad “Little Jessie James” is a good show—potentially. As one thea tregoer described it, “It is a good show appearing in Augusta with out a cast." This statement is made with due apologies to little Miss Gilda Kreegan, who appeared as Jessie Jamieson, and "did her bit” for the show in a most clever manner. Her voice, though, is me diocre. Mildren Kent as "Juliet” is a better actress “dead” than “alive”, while Edward Neelan, who figures conspicuously in the show, is far from being the worst comedian wo have ever seen. If the show had a chorus, more scenery, some dancers, and the chorus more than twa costumes, the plot, with the aid of the clever leading lady, would put it across in big shape. The tunefulness of "I Love You" sent quite a few away humming its refrain, but some of them went away humming it before the show was over. We like to have forgot S. Block, a quasi comedian, and Robert Burns, the vlllian of the show. They are not bad. And then, too, there is the Paul Whiteman Band, directed by Sol Kosarin, which re ceived more applause than the show. —M. O. FACTORY MEN Place Their 0. K. on Local Shop The White Company, manufact urers of the celebrated White trucks, recently inspected the plant of Whitton & Phitchard, with a view to determining whether or not this shop was maintaining serv ice for White trucks up to the high standards required by the factory. The verdict of the inspectors was that Whitton & Pritchard is ideally equipped for such work and there by gave a distinct boost to to Au gusta. This enterprising firm has built up an immense business intruck service. Every truck owner in the city, and many of Uiem in nearby towns, know them and know the kind of work they do.

Music, Dancing The annual meeting of the Au gusta Forest, No. 87, Tall Cedars of Lebanon, will be held Tuesday evening, at the Masonic Hall at 8 o’clock. All members in good standing are urged to be present promptly as the business session will last only thirty minutes. At 8:30 p. m. an oyster supper “with trimmings" will be served the Cedars and their lady friends in the banquet hall and immediate ly following there will be a dance for which one of the best seven piece orchestras in the city has been engaged. It goes without saying that all who attend are promised a most enjoyable evening from start to finish. The entertainments of the Tall Cedars have won the reputa tion of always being top-notchers. “What ever they do they do well,” to use the words of one of the In itiates at the last ceremonial. George I. Paquette, Grand Tall Cedar of the Augusta Forest, says that a big surprise will be “pulled” during the intermission and ad vises all members to wear their Pyramids. Take heed and act ac cordingly, he says, whatever that means. SPANISH MOROCCO MADRID. Storms along the northern African coast virtually have isolated Spanish Morocco and Premier Primo Rivera, who is in Morocco, has been unable to con tinuehis daily telegraphic confer- Elks Sign an Agreement For 1925 Minstrel Show Imperial Theatre Secured for Three Performances In April Staff of Miller Com pany, Directed by Charles Gaa, to Again Have Charge Announcement has been made that a triangle agreement has been made by Exalted Ruler William T. Gary, of Augusta Lodge of Elks the Famous Players-Lasky Corp oration, lessees of the Imperial Theater, and a representative of the Harry Miller Company of ew York City, for the presentation of the Elks’ Minstrel Frolic of 1925 at the Imperial Theater on the 15th, 16th. and 17th. of next April. Committees will be selected from the membership of the Elks to take charge of the various details of the production, which is destined to surpass anything in the realms of minstrelsy, either professional or local talent, ever presented be fore an Augusta audience. It is doubtful that any profes sional minstrel organization touring the country today can boast of talent equal to that at the disposal of the Elks. There may be in dividual stars whose brilliancy in the black-face firmament may out shine some of the Elks’ performers, but if the minstrel shows that have appeared in Augusta thus far this season are typical it is certain that a show such as was put on by the Elks last April is of far superior quality to the offerings of the pro fessional aggregations. Augusta is especially favored in having among her citizens many who possess magnificent voices and many who have attained enviable reputations as fun-makers and dancers, and it is the very creanj of the local talent that comprises the Elks’ Minstrel organization. All of the old favorites will be a part of the coming presentation, and there is a wealth of new ma terial available. The fact that Charles Gaa, the leading director on the staff of the Miller Company, will direct the re hearsals is guarantee of its worth. Mr. Gaa made a most favorable im pression here last spring, when he clearly demonstrated that he is a director without a peer. Augusta is extremely fortunate in being able to secure his services, as It is not th custom of the Miller Company to assign their stellar director to productions outside of the larger cities of the north and east. Special scenery for the entire production will be prepared in the studios of New York's most cele brated artists, and in this respect the 1925 show will be away ahead of its illustrious predecessors. The very latest and most tuneful musical numbers will be introduced during the performance, which will be replete with sparkling up-to-the minute comedy and snappy dancing. Further interesting announce ments regarding the production will be made later. W. C. Ivey Coal Co. Coal, Coke and Wood. PHONE 780 Roberts St. and Railroad Ave. a Frank J.

All are seriously injured and Miss Julia Cade is uncon scious. Mr. Cade suffered a frac tured left arm and leg and is also severely bruised about the head and chest. Mrs. Cade sustained severe bruises about the head, shoulders and back.

FIVE BOXERS Stand Out in Feather Tour ney at Brooklyn NEW YORK—Five, instead of three, featherweights stand out Sat urday in the elimination tourna ments held under the auspices of the state athletic commission to choose a successor to the crown re nounced by Johnny Dundee. Although three men, Louis (Kid) Kaplan, of Meriden, Conn.; Danny Kramer, of Philadelphia, and Jose Lombardo, of Panama, were de clared winners of their bouts in the opening tournament in Madison Square Garden Friday night, the showings made by two of the re maining opponents were so Im pressive that the athletic commis sion ordered that they be added to the contenders list in the next elimi naion test, three weeks from now.
