He breathed ten more easy breaths

He made several friends during

birmingham, who sincerely re-
greet to see one so young and strong
taken so suddenly. Mr.. Dykes

The Rosary Pleases
A Large Audience

The local theatre season was
opened last night with the pre-
sentation of The Rosary, by Ed.
Rowland and Edwin Clifford. This
is the first big play that has been
given IN the new Grand Opera
House since it's completion last
Spring.
The house was full, and THE
Rosary measured up ia every re-
spect to the expectations of the
immense audience. characterized
by a deep human interest and
skillfully performed by the excel
lent company, there was not a
weary moment for the eager list
eners. The cast of characters of
The Rosary is very strong, only
finished artists being members of
the company, and their interpre-
! tation of Edward E. Roses story
was indeed such as he had intend
ed it. The scenic effects we're also
splendid. The role of the Rev.
Brian Kelley was skillfullv carried
by Mr.. Harry Nelson, while Miss
Virginia Lewis, playing the dual
part of Vera Wilton and her twin
sister, Alice Marsh, made most
! favorable impression on the audi
ence. Her rendition of the beauti-
full solo, 'The Rosary" in the
last act proved her a vocalist Of
rare talent, and at this crucial
moment in the chapel where the
william confesses his guilt, the i'm
pressiveness of the C c n
brought tears to the eyes of many.
The part of Bruce Wilton was
played by Mr.. Thornton j. Baston,
ard George j. Clark was good as
Kenward Wright. The melancholy
feature of the play was effectively
relieved by Henry Garron, play
ing the part of Lee Martin (Skee-
ters) who wouldn't let things get
too sad.
As whole the play was fine and
was greatly enjoyed by all who at
tended. The next Attraction at
the Grand will be "Forty-fve
Minutes from Broadway" Saturday
night, Nov. End.

row, The Georgia laws are strict
against children being reared into
vice and crime on account of these
things, but the law is not often
observed without aggressive ac-
ton on the part of such an agency
as the children's Home Society.
The Georgia Chiidren's Home
Society was organized and incor-
porated last year with Ex-'1over-
nor Northern of Atlanta as presi-
dent. The Association was form
ed to supplement the work of the
orphan asylums which are crowd
ed to their doors and have to turn
away so many homeless children
for want of room.
''The family home is the better
place to rear Child" said Mr..
McCord. eve must all admit
this, if we believe the Lord knew
, what he was doing when he pro-
vided that children be served
these. The only question is wheth-
err there are sufficient number OF
childless family homes in Georgia
to take the homeless children and
rear them as they should be rear
ed. This is no longer question
however, for we are bringing
children to some of the best homes
| in the state where they are receiv.
ed with open arms and the work
is only IN getting the child fittec
to the home.
The Children's Home Society,
through its agents, continue tc
exercise watchcare ever the chic
after it is placed with Ia family.
This is done by visits every few
months to the homes IN which the
child is being reared.
Mr.. McCord expects to be al
the New Aldine hotel for few
days and would be glad to see any
one who might possibly take one
of the society's children into his
home to fill the vacant place, and
he would also like to know of any
child in need of care such as the
society can render.
The offices of the Society are at
ITO Gould Bldg, Atlanta and the
City Hall Savannah. Letters adj
dressed to either Office will have
prompt attention.

O'NEAL ORDERS SIX
 CLERKS BE DROPPED
Governor Writes to Heads
 of Six Departments
SAVE sSOOO ANNUALLY
Reason Given for Retrenchment by Governor Is Depleted Condition of the Treasury-No Criticism
 Heard Regarding Order

Montgomery october 15-(Special. )-In pursuance with his policy of retrench- ment and on account of the depleted condition of the state treasury, Governor OsNeal has written to the heads of six state departments ordering that one clerk in each of these departments be dropped.
 The departments affected by the gov ernor's order are: The state banking de- partment, the educational department, the state tax commission. the prison inspec- ton, archives and history and the court of appeals.
 It is estimated that the governors or der will result in an annual saving to the state of s70O0 or $soOo, which the ex- in view of the financial condition of the treasury
 The governors letter to the six heads of departments was as follows:
 Dear Sir--On account of the very depleted condition of the treasury I am compelled to use every possible econ omy. You are, therefore. notified that the order heretofore issued by me au- thorizing an additional clerk in your department is hereby revoked such re- vocation to take effect on the first day of November, 1912"
 The action of Governor ONeal in issuing an order to cut off some of the clerks at the capitol was not unex- pected, though it occasioned consider able comment in official circles Tues day. 4
 Some of the heads of departments af- fected by the order maintain that the order of the governor while rendered necessary by the depleted condition of the treasury, will nevertheless work some hardship, as it will increase the work to be done by the other clerks in their departments. There was no crti- cism heard with reference to the gov ernor's order, though considerable re- gret was expressed that the low financial condition of the state rendered such an order necessary.
 The governor issued the order before leaving for Pennsylvania last Saturday afternoon. but it was not received by the departments until this morning. The order will go into effect on the first Of November.

LANE WILL BE IN RAJ OR
 AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER

Montgomery, October 15.-(SpeciaL)- Hector D. Lane, assistant clerk in the agricultural department, announced to- day that he had no intention of giving up his purpose of running for commissioner of agriculture and industries in 1914 MT. Lane confirmed the report that he will resign his present position with the agri- cultural department, but declared emphat- ically that he had every intention in the world of running for commissioner at the next general election for state off, ficers.
 Had I not intended running for this office I would never have accepted my present position," said MT. Lane "It has been my purpose for several years to run for commissioner of agriculture. It is a matter of sentiment with me largely, for my father was at one time commis- sioner of agriculture. Please announce that I shall be in the race"
 Mr. Lane seemed aggrieved that the report had gotten out that he would not
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-16

run for commissioner of agriculture, and declared that the story which was pub lished in a Birmingham paper to that effect was wholly unauthorized and with out any particle of truth
 Regarding the rumor that he has also severed his connection with the legislature, MT. Lane declared that this was also untrue. He said that under the law he was disqualified to serve as member of the legislature while hold ing a position in the department of agriculture, but declared that he had never resigned as member of the legislature, and referred to an opinion of the attorney general in which the latter had held that he was a member of that body, although he became con- nected with the agricultural depart ment after the adjournment of the last legislature. The attorney general held that should Mir. Lane resign his posi- tion with the state department he would be eligible to resume his seat in the legislature.
 MT Lane reached Montgomery this morning from his home in Athens. where he went last week to spend few days.
