EVANS AND JOLLY.
MINISTRIES SET
LAUGH RECORD
Lovers of Burnt Cork Humor
Have Real 0Id-Time Jubilee
at the Atlanta Theater.
BY TARLEToN COLLIER.

A chubby black bandmaster who
looks as if he hasn't smiled since wa
termelons went out of season claims
your first laugh at George Evans
minstrel show at the Atlanta. He's
the first of the lot that you see. If
ever the personality of niger who
is overburdened with responsibilities
was reincarnated in a burnt cork min
strel, then this musical director has
1t. Having seen him, you settle down
to enjoyment of the show And when
Honey Boy" Evans comes out you
are ready to swear that he is one of
the funniest men alive.
AS a matter of fact, few men Will
dispute George Evans claim to COM
edy; certainly none of those who saw
him at the Atlanta Theater Monday
night. AS monologist with fresh
and funny monologue he had his au-
dience in a roar throughout the time
he was on the stage.
Mayor Gives Loving Cup.
An incident not on the program was
the appearance of Mayor Woodward,
who mounted the stage to present the
loving cup which George Evans had
offered to the best batter in the South
ern League last season. Harry Wei
chonce, Atlanta's center fielder, was
the winner, and in mis- absence the
trophy was received by Manager Bill
ly Smith OF course, it couldn't be so,
but If George Evans could only sign
them up for the same performance
every night! 1t was really a right
pleasant occasion.
Evans does not appear in the first
part of the show, and, speaking well
for the excellence of his company,
they get along very nicely without
him Vaughn Comfort is a volatile
interlocutor, and there are a dozen
good voices among the singers.
Never a song but had it's encore,
the boy yodler, come back half dozen
times
Dancing Is Excellent.
Joseph Gillespie, James Meehan and
William Thompson were others who
won the audience with their singing.
AS for the dancing, that other sine
que non of good niger Ministries, the
Evans company displayed an amazing
variety, beyond that of any other min
strel show that has come into these
parts lately Rags" Leighton, Tom
my Hyde and Willie NeWsom won
laurels here.
The travesty which always com
pletes a minstrel show was one of the
best things of the Evans perform
ance. 1t might have been a bit too
long, and under other conditions
would have seemed monotonous. But
with Honey Boy Evans the central
figure and with Eldon Durand, an ex-
ceptional female ,mpersonator, it be-
came a delectable bit.

Advice on Cotton.

H. w. Orvis, of the firm of George
III. McFadden & Brothers of New
York, a cotton expert well known
throughout the cotton growing states,
is paying his first visit to this coast.
81 came here primarily to inspect
the cotton area in the Imperial Val
ley," he said yesterday, "but, lured
by your delightful climate, / have
fingered longer than | expected.
There is piece of advice that l can
give the Imperial Valley growers,
which may save them many thousands
of dollars later on. noticed down
there in not a few instances that
the growers had planted long staple
and short staple cotton in immediate
proximity to one another.
"This is a radical mistake. l shall
explain why. The bees which fer
Imperial Valley press., 1914-05-05

tilize the cotton blossoms will inevl-
tably mix the pollen of the two varl-
cites, and the resultant cotton will
be neither long nor short staple, but
mixed. Stated in dollars and cents,
the farmers are now receiving 20
cents a pound for long staple, or more
than cents above the current mar
ket price for standard spot cotton.
"For short staple these growers
have been receiving IA cents, or about
half cent a pound above the mar
ket. Mixed staple is practically un~
saleable save at heavy rebate from
the Iharket price for standard, be-
cause the mills cannot spin mixed sta
pie cotton, the rolls being set for
either long or short staple"

Confederate Veterans Meet

that that city will be in the fight
also.
The champions of Richmond have
as one of their best campaign cards
the fact that the Confederate Memor
ial Institute, of Battle Abbey, will
be ready for dedication during next
year, and they are urging that the
dedicatory ceremonies be held during
the Confederate Reunion.
The calling together of the United
Confederate Veterans is the signal
for the mobilization of all the fairest
daughters of Dixieland.
Along with the Confederate Veter-
ans will come sponsors and maids OF
honor from all parts of the South.
The reunion of the veterans has
turned into great social occasion.
The bellies of Dixie will be out in
force.
The sponsors and maids of honor
are the official ladies of the meet
ing and are entertained as such. The
entire South unites to do honor to
them when they come.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 5.-The
twenty-fourth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, Sons
of the Confederate Veterans and all
the allied organizations, will start
here tomorrow and continue three
days.
The first feature of the reunion will
be parade exclusively for the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, their spon-
sors, maids of honor and chaperons.
This parade will be given the first
day of the reunion. Next day there
will be parade for maids and spon-
sors, in flower-covered automobiles.
The plan is to decorate the autos with
red and white native flowers to rep
resent the colors of the Confeder-
acy.
The veterans parade will be given
the third and last day oof the reunion.
1t will be exclusively for the veter-
ans and official ladies. As many OF
the veterans who care to ride in au-
tomobiles will be accommodated that
way. Others will be on foot and
horseback.
Extensive preparations have been
made by the state committee on nurs-
ing service for the American Ma
tional Red Cross to handle all of the
medical relief work during the union.
The committee has established
five medical relief and emergency sta
tions in various parts of the city.
The stations will be in charge of
experienced physicians and nurses.
In addition to local nurses, twenty
nures of the American Red Cross
Society will also be here to assist in
the work.
1t is known that with the city
crowded to the utmost, the import
ance of such work is by no means
small. On the contrary, the estab-
lishment of such stations and the
presence of the Red Cross workers
is powerful safeguard to the lives
of the aged and infrm veterans.
A prominent entertainment feature
of the week will be May Day des-
tivities of public school children in
one of the large parks of the city.
Jacksonville will be brilliantly
lighted with thousands of electric
lights and many electric novelties.
The indications now are that three
strong delegations will be in Jack
sonville to compete for the next re-
union of the Confederates. Rich
mond, Va, and New Orleans are al
ready organizing their forces for
the contest, and letters have been
received from Waco, Tex, indicating
Imperial Valley press., 1914-05-05

of jefferson Davis, sponsor at a
reunion. Miss Davis, in turn, ap-
pointed couple of her young friends
to be her maids of honor.
This incident, intended at the time
as a temporary honor for Nle fam
lily of jefferson Davis, because GUS
tom, and now every organization in
the United Confederate Veterans As
sociat;on appoints sponsors AMI
maids of honor. The young ladies
must have an older female along with
them and each organic alton appoints
g. chaperon and matron of honor
The Sons of Confederate Veterans,
following in the footsteps of their
fathers, Maintain organizations IN
every southern state and hold their
reunions on the same dates. They
appoint sponsors and maids Of honor.
The two organizations, closely allied,
therefore send to each Confederate
reunion several hundred official Ia
dies selected from the best families
in the South.
Nothing to equal the annual re-
union ball in splendor can be seen
in the United States, unless it be the
inauguration ball at the national cap
ital, now fallen into social desuetude.

KAISER BILL TEN MILES
FROM THE BRITISH LINES
Dashes From Camp to Camp ExhOrting
Men in Ranks.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-A London ca
BILE to the World quotes from the Stan
dard that the Germans continue to
bring up reinforcements near Ypres,
and the Kaiser in his gray motor car,
with worn and set face, cloaked in
gray like Napoleon, is constantly pass
ing from one German camp to another
always within ten miles or so of the
Allies lines, exhorting his troops.
A brilliant feat, characteristic of
French smartness, is reported by
Capt Gason, whose advancing squad
ron was to GUST, if possible, German
forces from a position inconveniently
commanding the French trenches
The French force was observed from
a Taube, which fastened to report
the move to the enemy
Capt. Gason caused a number of
horses to be so loaded up with hay
that grouped together they resembled
a veritable haystack. These were de-
spatched along the road toward the
Germans. When the enemy saw the
amazing monster emerging through
haze by the river User, they were
bewildered and fired.
The horses separated and were
charged by the German cavalry, who
could not believe them riderless. With
sabres they slashed at the haycocks
on the horses backs and there was
strange tumult in the midst of which
Capt. Gason and his men took the
German position in the rear and
charged so effectively that the Ger
mans fed in disorder, abandoning ev-
erything, including guns.

IODY THE SPY EXECUTED
WHERE LADY JANE GREY
AND ANNE BOLEYN DIED

LONDON, Nov. 25.-At Z o'clock on
the foggy morning of Nov. 6, Carl
Hans Lody, the German naval lieuten-
ant whom the public had come to
know as "Lody, the Spy" sat in chair
in a courtyard of the old Tower of
London and faced firing squad. Con-
victed by courtmartial of communicat-
ing with German authorities to the
detriment of England he had been SEN
fenced to pay the death penalty.
AS the courtmartial was in London,
as remote in many respects from the
scene of fighting as New York, some
doubt was expressed at first whether
the extreme penalty would be inflicted.
1t was said even that certain members
of the cabinet favored life imprison-
ment. But Lord Kitchener, quick to
see the necessity for extreme action
with the spy menace so rampant, is
said to have insisted upon execution.
Ten seconds after Lody sat in the
chair in the Tower courtyard, with
eyes unshieled at his own request ne
toppled forward lifeless, with seven
bullets through his breast. Half an
hopr later an undertaker's wagon took
the body away for burial in pauper S
grave.
Execution First in Tower
Since 18th Century
The execution was the first in the
Tower since the middle Of the lotn
