The Lion

The feature of the bill for We'd nesday and Thursday is a three reel Flying-A production. "Destinies Full filed a tale of the mountains full of tense heart interest, primitive mo- tives and excitement. The story an tedates the civil war and leads up to the awful days following that na- tiOnal disaster, with feudal spirit running rife and each man his own law It is a great story carefully worked out amid exquisite settings. The closer of this bill is a split-reel Keystone "A Misplaced Foot'-in which Mabel Normand indulges in a fiitrtion with her feet under the table, and "A Glimpse of the City of Los Angeles" a scenic offering of real merit showing numerous his toric spots, the fine parks and other points of interest, all combining to make an excellent offering.

It may not be the highest kind of rule of conduct, but it's a simple and easily remembered. Above all, it IS practical and that amounts to good deal in this matter fact world In the end believe it will outweigh all the essays and ethics of the rcformcrs. and do more than anything else to bring about the millennium of advertising.

 Every day the publisher is being and more convinced that the cleaner his advertising columns arc the more money he can make out of them, and when this knowledge becomes general the vicious ad will go of business To the credit of publishers be il said that most of them clean house. because they believe it Is right, but the time Is coming when 1t will be done matter of pure business policy. Take the case Of the PhTnix Arz., Republican. paper that about year ago decided 10 eliminate objectionable adverts- ing and in its own words, expected no other reward than satisfied conscience" Note the result described in recent editorial in that paper:
 The RepubLlcan has found other reward than the approval Ol its conscience. he eliminated advertising has been followed by considerably increased volume of decent advertising The patent medicine people used to be yrannical when the paprS we're clamoring for their business They not only insisted upon the best positions, but designated the kind of matter that should appear next to their adver tscments, and prescribed certain other kinds of advertisinAon on the same page.

BATTLIN GARMIES ARE ONLY
A FEW YARDS SEPARATEI

PARIS, Sept. 28.-Prolongation Of
the tension on the long lines of fire
and death facing each other on the
Aisne must have become very insup-
portable to the Germans since reports
indicate they have changed their ia :
tics and attacked with the bayonet.
The opinion is expressed here thot
General Joffres master hand is shown
in this, as it is believed he has sut-
ceeded in pushing his lines inside tn :
range of the deadly heavy German
guns and forced the enemy to hand
to hand fighting.
Since the attacks have been re-
pulsed over the whole line, according
to the officials, the military experts
here cannot see now what resources
the German emperor's generals can
call on to retrieve their fortunes. The
Matin expresses the opinion that the
new troops the allies found fronting
them on the left were not from the
German left wing, but are part of t1e
forces detached from Charleroi and
sent to East Prussia hut nou, broru,t
back in haste.
The general opinion is that the
battle has reached the most critical
as we'll as the most violent phase, and
that the issue cannot be delayed much
longer.
The losses of the last few days on
both sides are said to exceed all other
engagements of the war.

emplary conduct during the period
that American forces have occupied
that port" says the department E
statement. "It would be difficult 10
cite an instance wherein the people
of city occupied by foreign army
have accepted a situation of this kind
with such evidence of patience and
good will.
Although the city was occupied
by foreign army differing in race
and language from it's inhabitants
and was governed under the strictest
form of martial law Ga condition
that would ordinarily be expected to
result in friction) none of the Incl

Cured. No attempt at assassination
has been made and not a sing e
crime of violence of any Importance
has been committed against alv
members of the forces occupying
Vera Cruz.
"The orders given by the mill
tary authorities were all carried out
without question and the attitude Of
the people has been found to be gen
orally helpful. The officers and en-
listed men could go anywhere with
out the slightest fear and without tn :
necessity of being armed"

PRES. GRIMSHAW
PRESENTED VERY
HANDSOME jewel
AS A TOKEN OF ESTEEM
Occasion of Interest Here
Sunday Last

General Manager Harry B. Grim
shaw, of the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah railway, was made the central
figure in a most interesting occasion
upon his coming here from Macon, his
present headquarters Sunday after
noon. He came to Americus to look
after a Jewel" all right-a priceless
gem, and while he did not get that one
(yeD he did, however, receive an
other of different kind, but to be very
greatly appreciated.
Mr.. Grimshaw was met at the Cen
trail station by a committee of engi-
neers of the Seaboard and carried, un-
resisting, to the armory of the Amer
icus Light Infantry, where to his sur
Prise, he found an assemblage of 800
or 400 people, made up of employees
of the Georgia-Alabama division Cf
the Seaboard system, of which he was
for long time superintendent, prior
to assuming his present position in
Macon, with another system.
Following the extending of greet
ings and fluctuations. Mr.. E. A. Nisbet,
in an address of characteristic elo-
quence, presented to Mr.. Grimshaw an
exquisitely wrought Masonic emblem,
diamond-studded watch charm rep
.resenting the Scottish Rite or 32nd
degree, Of the order, there being only
one higher degree attainable in the
United States.
Mr.. Grimshaw could, with difficulty
only, find words wherewith to express
appreciation for this splendid testi-
monial of esteem, which came from
employees in every department of ser
vice on this division. They were the
men with whom Mr.. Grimshaw had
been so long and so pleasantly asso-
ciated in the capacity of division sup
erintendent, and very many of whom
he has esteemed as personal friends
during a long period of years.

ALLIES REPULSE CONTINUED ATTACKS OF GERMANS

General Rennenkampf. Petrograd be-
lieves that this moN~4nent because of
its limited front, is a diversion to re-
lieve the threatened German line from
Kalisz to Cracow.
The Austrian forces still are retir-
ing on Cracow, al besides having
taken some of the forts around Prem
ysl, the Russian cavalry is said to
be pouring through the Carpathians
onto the plains of Hungary. Al
though the success of that movement
is officially denied from Budapest,
which announces that the repeated at
tempts of the Russian cavalry to enter
the country have been repulsed, hur-
ried efforts are being made along the
Austrian frontier to strengthen fort
ress. garrisons.
Electric currents are a marked fea-
ture of the defensive arrangements.
Wires have been laid over all the
strategic points on the frontier, and
these connect with a powerful power
station at Riva.

WEBSTER COUNTY COURTHOUSE BURNED
SUNDAY EVENING; Loss COMPLETE
Historic Old Building Smodering Ash ReapB Blaze Sarea
otL O'Clock Sunday Night, And May Hare Been of
Incendiary Ongn-P Practically All County Records Lost
In The Flanes-Only S., 900 Insurance.

In the destruction by fire of the
Webster county courthouse that plucky
little county sustains not only a seve ,e
monetary loss, but an irreparable one
in the well-nigh complete destruction
of all official records and county docu-
ments Of every kind which, with the
historic old building, crumbled into
ashes at late hour Sunday night. The
flames had burst with alarming sud-
dennes3 upon the sleeping town, and IN
an incredibly brief time the Webster
county courthouse was in ruins.
Practically nothing ia the way Of
county property, deeds, documents or
court records were saved, so rapidly
did the fire spread over the doomed
building.
The fire, which may have been Of in
cendiary origin, or the result of pos
sible accident, as yet undetermined,
was discovered at 1O:45 o'clock. Few
people were up at that hour, and no.
of these had seen any one about the
building. The courthouse occupied 4
square in the center of the little town,
remote from other buildings.
Started Foot of Stairway.
The flames had their origin at the
foot of the double stairway leading to
the superior courtroom above. -Four
doors, opening upon cross halls below,
afforded a draught which quickly
spread the fire in all directions, maxi
ing it impossible for those first upon
the scene to save any of the records.
The few county books inrthe safe in
the office of Judge J. r. Stapleton, OF
of the court of ordinary, were saved in
a damaged condition. All other re-
cords, it is understood were destroyed
The loss to the county in this respect
