subj" explained the goats mahout.
From "Dan'l the Bulldog in the
Times.
"When I read it," the letter says,
"I recognized with a thrill that the
right word had been found at last
mahout. The mobile, that majestic
devil, that impressive devil, is our ell
ephant, he is in class by himself,
like the jungle monarch; to be his
master, pilot, and compeller is a post
of solemn and awful dignity and dan
ger, and it does seem to me that
measly word chauffeur does not
properly fit the occupant Of it.
Chauffeur is a good enough word
when strictly confined to it's modest
and rightfufl place-as you will see
by what Littre says about it. I
translate: "A Chauffeur is the frer-
up on the street corner, peanut roast
er; in English, stoker.' A good
enough word you see, in its own
place, but when we come to apply it
to the admiral of the thunderous
mobile or of the mighty elephant we
realize that it is inadequate. No,
stoker is not the thing, chauffeur is
not the thing, mahout is the thing
mahout is the word we need. Be
sides, there is only one way Of say
ing mahout, whereas, there are nine
ways of saying chauffeur, and none
Of them are right. With ever in
creasing respect, dear sir, as the ages
roll on, am yours,

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Gennett.

Large audiences have witnessed
every performance at the Gennett
this week and all patrons have been
unusually well entertained. Tomor-
row afternoon will be bargain after
noon and the women and children
will be admitted at half the usual
price This weeks bill is unques-
tionably one of the best ever shown
at this house and is we'll deserving
the unlimited patronage it is receiv-
ing. On account of the Uncle Tom
Cabin company appearing at the Gen
nett this afternoon and tonight there
viii be no vaudeville The bill will
be resumed tomorrow afternoon,
however, and continued throughout
the remainder of the week. There
will be vaudeville at this house next
week and Manager Swisher is pre-
pairing an excellent bill.
He Believes in Vaudeville.
~ am so confident that vaudeville
has come to Richmond to stay and
that it will prove popular everywhere
for years to come that am making
investments along this line at vari-
Gus places,' said Manager Murray
of the New Phillips, to the Palladium
last night. "The truth Isl" he con-
tinued, "that many of the best peo-
pie Of the stage have found it advan-
tageous to go into vaudeville and
they are being paid fabulous sums in
order to induce them to do so. Some
of the stars have been paid $4,000
week for short time contracts. Of
course, in the smaller cities no such
salaries can be paid but it is true
that good talent is secured and that
it is being constantly improved as
the managers have chance to weed
out the performers who are not up
to the Standard
Manager Murray believes those
who have not yet seen the bill that is
being presented at the New Phillips
this week should do so before the
week is over. There is many times
the value of the price of admission
in the Offering and those who enjoy
character limitations and delineations
would be especially pleased with the
bill, as would also those who delight
in the illustrated songs and motion
pictures. Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Hughes
and Miss Annie Goldie, with all the
others, are doing their very best to
entertain and that they are succeed
ing is evidenced by the liberal pat
ronage despite the discouraging han
dicap of the weather that was en-
countered on Monday and Tuesday.
The Gennett theatre, matinee and
night, Thursday, Jan. 18th, should
prove bidder for public patronage,
as it's attraction is to be Harriet Bee
cher Stoves great story, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" Although as a result
of the many cheap productions tour
ing the country, this famous play has
become the ridicule of many, still
this fine old drama will, under capa-
BILE, conscientious management, ever
have the power to make its auditors
feel the beauty and pathos Of its lines
when presented in a manner worthy
of the book and interpreted by Leon
w. Washburn organization, and
known for years to the public as
"Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin Co"
1t has two bands, two Topsies, two
Marks, the finest pack Of Siberian
bloodhounds in the world, lot of
beautiful Shetland ponies, fifty men,
women and children. A grand spec
tacular parade will be given at noon,
and will be worth going to see.

Applies To Toys.

State Auditor T. M. Henry in dis
cussing the privilege tax of $25 plac-
ed ON the sale of air guns, Flobert RI
fles and such like weapons fixed by
the Legislature at its recent session,
stated: "The kind of guns the lcgis-
lature was trying to minimize or cur
tail the sale of entirely by imposing
$25 privilege tax are those primer
pally sold to small boys for shooting
on the streets, and which endanger
eye, life and limb. They are the kild
usually found in the toy stores. | do
not think the legislature intended to
include the regular 22-calibfe rife
in that category, and believe that they
can be sold under the merchandise IL
ceuse, as can shot-guns and rifles of
other calibre." The above in sub
stance is what Mr.. Henry had written
to a collector who had applied for
specific information on the point, but
may be of interest to others and to
the general public as we'll.

MI Wilson in Chicago.

Chicago. Secretary James Wilson
arrived here. He refuses to discuss
his presence here at his time, but it,
is reported that conference has
been called at which those interested
in closer quarantine regulations and
inspection of cattle at points OF ship
ment will be presented. According
to the secretary the president does
not deem the new meat inspection
law water tight, as some laxlty has
existed Ia passing on diseased cattle
by inspecors. 1t is said Secretary
Wilson wishes to get uniformity OF
action. If more rigid examination
is. made before the cattle shipped are
offered for sale, much of the loss
would not fall on packers. The breed
ers and raisers of the better grades
of cattle are anxious to have the
quarantine regulations more thorough
ly enforced also, and it is said the
proposed meeting has this double pur-
pose up for consideration.

Want Drainage.

Chancellor Garland Lyell received
4 petition from citizens of Lefore
county who wish to organize a drain
age district under the provisions of
the Alcorn district drainage law
which was passed at the last leg
islative session, and the 1st of Sep
tember has been appointed for the
hearing, to take place at Greenwood
The petition was referred to Chan
cellor Lyell owing to the fact that
Chancellor Percy Bell of the SeventE
district, in whose jurisdiction Lefor5
county is located, is absent from the
state, and Chancellor Lyell is look
ing after all matters coming up in va
cation in that district. This is the
first movement launched for the or
ganization of drainage district
since the Alcorn law was passed.

ASSEMBLY PASSES BILL
Senate Approved Measure by Vote Of
SO to 3-New Law Will Go Into
Effect on the First Day
of January Next.

The Boykin antibucket shop bill
passed the Georgia senate Thursday
by vote of 38 to 8. The Wheatley
substitute was lost by vote of 29
to A. With the enactment of the Boy
kin measure passes out of business
in Georgia all bucket shops and So
called legitimate exchanges.
On announcement of the result OF
the aye and nay call by Reading
Clerk Hansell, there was hush and
then loud applause. 1t required sew
eral raps of the gavel before Pres
ident West could restore order. All
DUNG the debate, which lasted fol
three hours, the senate gallery, for the
first time this session, was crowded
with spectators, as was the lobby
AS soon as it was announced that
bucket shops and exchanges had been
put out of business in Georgia, Rep
resentative Boylxin, father OF the
measure, who was on the floor, was
almost suffocated by the statesmen
and supporters of the bill who wish
ed to congratulate him.
Senators Miller and Steed made a
hard fight against the enactment OF
the measure. Senator Bum also op-
posed it, Those who spoke for it
were Senators O. A. Blalock and
Gambler. This measure had re.
ceiyed an adverse report few days
ago at the hands of the agricultural
committee, but a minority report was
made by Senators Williams, Ware,
Furr, Parker and Walker.
Senator Blalock, who opened the
morning session of the debate, ar
gued that even if men did gamble
under the Boykin bill, as was claim
ed by Senator Wheatley, he was i'll
favor of enacting bill that would
wine out as much of it as possible.
Senator Gamblers remarks were along
the same line.
Senator Bum stated that he look
ed at the matter in fair and int
partial manner, and could see no rea-
son for adopting the Boykin bill.
Senator Steed made an able speech.
His most striking argument was that
If all exchanges dealing in cotton
futures are abolished in all the states
of the union, the prices of all prod
ucts will be regulated by Liverpool
and Bremen, and Europe will dictate
absolutely all prices OF American
farm products.
The bill will become law as soon
as the governor aff1xes his signature,
and will take effect January l, 1917.

Result of Failure.

Chicago. THE first step in the dis
solution of outside companies with
which Paul 0. Stensland, the missing
president of the Milwaukee Avenue
State Bank is identified, was taken,
when a petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy was filed against the Milwau-

The petition was filed before Judge
Bethea and arrangements were made
by him to appoint receiver under

.Iohn D. Rockefeller.

London. john D. Rockefeller has
furnished funds for railroad devel-
opment in Tanganyka, Africa. This
led to the recent rise in Tanganyka
shares and Rhodesians generally. In
its financial article the Times says
the development of Tanganyka com
panies' potential resources have bean
checked by the difficulty of raising
capital for the completion of railroad
communication. Although no official
announcements have been maize, /
