Amendment Nine, the last one
ON the ballot has been fully ex-
planned in the press of the state
and the benefits it will confer
should be well known to all
readers of the papers. No one
can deny that more money is
needed to aid weak rural dis
tricts, to foster the teaching of
agriculture, manual training
and domestic science, to pro
mote rural high schools, to en-
courage sanitation, better Ii
braries ami equipment. Nor does
anyone fear that the Legislature
cannot be safely trusted to make
a wise distribution Of the money
created by such a fund as pro-
vided in this last amendment on
the ballot. Then be sure to
vote Yes and scratch No on the
ballot when you come to the
9th amendment, the very last
one on the ballot.

Gentlemen Gamblers Create Panic
FIERCE~FIGHT ON OLYMPIC

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-It was an eX-
cited and garrulous throng of passen-
gers that poured down the gang plank
when the White Star liner Olympic ar
rived here today one day late. They
were still discussing an exciting battle
over a card game that occurred when
three days out of Queenstown. 1t arose
out of charges that one of the first
cabin passengers was a professional
gambler. H. c. Alder, an American
now residing in Paris, had been invited
to take hand at poker with T. L. Cur
tbs, an Oregon lumber dealer and sew
eral of Curtis friends. Alder lost con-
siderable money and later he was re-
ported to have said that Curtis, who
had been the heaviest winner, was mot
on the square" as a poker player.

This report reached Curtis and he
started in search of Alder, whom he

The screams of women passengers
brought what is known on the Olympic
as the strong arm squad" of stewards,
whose duty it is to interfere in such
Fimpromptu encounters.
Alder and Curtis both seemed to re-
sent the interference of the stewards
and ceasing their efforts to maui each
ether, made common cause against the

AT THE THEATERS
FORSYTH BILL PLEASES
BIG AUDIENCES DAILY

Vaudeville at the Forsyth this week
is up to the standard. That means that
the bill is of that quality that attracts
and the result is plain, for the theater
has been crowded to it's limit of ca,
paCity at six performances, and the box
office men have been constantly busy
serving patrons who are making ad-
vance reservations for the six remain
ing performances.
The seven acts represent the best
class of vaudeville that is possible right
now to secure. There are acts that
command the highest salaries paid to
theatrical people, and that blend per-
fectly. making an entertainment that is
worth time and money.
Gertrude Vanderbilt, with the help of
George Moore, has scored the biggest
hit any headline feature has ever reg
istered at the busy theater. The pretty
singing and dancing Coincidence has
eclipsed all the success that has been
registered by condolences at the For
syth, and is about the most popular lit.

theatergoers.

Popular vaudeville is to be introduced
at the Forsyth next week. There will
be five Keith acts at every perform
ance, helped along with a selection of
splendid motion pictures. There will be
daily matinees and two performances
each night. This policy has been in
dorsed by the best class of people in
Richmond. Norfolk Nashville, Savan-

Chairman of Steel ProberS Tells
How Aid Was Given This

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Theodore
vester trust fame and the Federal bu-
reau of corporations were Jointly as
sailed by Chairman Stanley, of the
steel investigating committee. in
the house for aiding in the protection
of the United States Steel Corporation
and accepting any means to prevent
the power of this monopoly from being
lessened
The government by commissions as
conducted by the bureau of corpora
tions," said Mr.. Stanley, rs more than
pleasing to the interests and they are
today more enthusiastic than ever IN
their advocacy of an extension or the
same. For several years the chief in
termediary between big business and
those intrusted bv the government with
the DUTY of investigating has been
gentleman by the name of George W.
Perkins To pry into the secrets or the
bureau and to keep the interests most
concerned advised is to the progress or
the assumably secret inspection, was
the task for which Mr.. Perkins Showed
his peculiar fitness"
Describing the manner in which a
$4,000 donation was given Mr.. Roose-
welt by George w. Perkins, Mr.. Stanley
said:
"Pocketed Insurance Money"
mfr. Perkins gave his personal check
to Mr.. Bliss and was reimbursed by
check of the New York Life Insurance
Company, payable to J. P. Morgan &
Co. The proceeds of this check were
traced to the pocketbook of Mr.. Per
kins and for this eminent service he
was arrested under a warrant Charg-
ing him with grand larceny. AS Chief
Justice Cullen, who tried the case,
says, Perkins knew that this money
was drawn from a life insurance policy
without the policy holders consent.
This man (Perkins) escaped the
prison cell by the skin of his teeth for
having picked the pocket Of shroud
for the use and benefit Of the Republi-
can party"
Referring to the assimilation of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company dur
ing Roosevelt's administration, the
speaker continued:
The severest critic of Roosevelt can
scarcely conceive that he would in
twenty minutes have commissioned the
Steel Corporation to squash its last
competitor. Had he possessed one
tenth of the information which the
commissioner of corporations after
ward admitted having, he probably
never would been guilty of this act"

EASTER AT KILN.

Kiln. Miss, April 18th, 1912.
Easter services at the Catholic Church
of the Annunciation of the Kiln were
celebrated with impressiveness and
majesty. The beautiful little church
had been tastefully decorated. The ele-
cant altars were decked with natural
flowers and palms and ferns, intermin-
gled with lights of different colors. Pa
pal and American flags were conspicu-
Gus and contributed greatly to enhance
the majesty of the whole.
The attendance was very large, so
much so, because it was the first oppor-
tunity given the people to welcome their
esteemed pastor, who has just come
back from Montreal, Canada, where he
spent four months in visiting his old
parents and relatives and rested him.
self from twelve years of hard mission
ary work. n
The choir, under the direction of the
Young ladies of the parish, rendered the
beautiful mass of the sHoly Rosary
with perfect correctness, informing led
with many other beautiful hymns.
The sermon was appropriate, the
lowing: $40! this,is our God d...... and
He will save us. lisa. Here is syn
optical sketch of that sersS i. The
Resurrection the proof Of the Divinity
Christ. 2. His victory was over death
over sin; over the tremendous powers
of the world; over the hearts of men.
l3. The church continues the victory
over death b, transferring our souls to
the Church triumphant in Heaven; over
sin by absolution; over the world by it's
vitality; over the hearts of men, as the
Easter Communion proves.
The comparison was most beautiful
in encouraging, and very apt to
strengthen, the Christian in his faith !;
encourage him in his hope; and, abov e
all, to console him in this world of exile
