EDITOR COMMENDS UN-
ION MEN FOR PEACEABLE-
NESS-From Triton Gazette


In Mr.. O. D. Germans adj
dress in behalf of the employees
of the Atlanta. Birmingham &
Atlantic Railway at Triton We'd
nesday, there was no more sig
nificant statement than that la
Dor will uphold the law, and if
any illegal act is committed, it
will not be on the part of union
men. This statement is borne
out by the fact than when the
first train operated by non-union
men moved out of Fitzgerald
that same day, there was no
overt act on the part of the
union men, A few days since the
Gazette stated that the real test
of the determination Of the strik-
ing men that there be no disor-
der would come with the opera
ton of trains by non-union men.
That time has come, and the first
day passed without incident, so
far as any disorder is concerned.
The union men stood the test.
and it is to their credit. They
have immeasurably strengthened
their case thereby. 1t was not
only good judgment and good

the world will not come to US and

out for ourselves, although we are at
liberty to adopt or improve upon
methods that are successfully util-

that the railroad shops be kept in
Fitzgerald. If they win the shops
are absolutely sure to remain
here because it is to the interest
of the Atlanta Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad that they do re-
main here. Even if Cordele could
do the impossible and raise two
million dollars and more to
GIVE to the road, the road could
not afford to accept.

| DO YOUR KISSING AT
HOME-The Leader reproduces
herewith an editorial from the
Rome Tribune-Herald which, I'M
less we miss out guess, concerns
DR.. Elan F. Dempsey, who writes
the daily Sermon to Live By for
Leader readers. 1t may difficult
to believe that a man who unus-
ually writes in so serious and
grave vein could get off as
smooth story as this one, but
DIR. Dempsey is most versatile
man. Says the Rome Tribune
Herald:
Do your work at home, exert
your energies in behalf of your
own people, buy at home, use
your talents whatever they may
be for yourself and your home
people.
Fhis point was very aptly IL
Illustrated by learned gentleman
OF the cloth at yesterdays meet
ing of the Kiwan1s Club. Upon
being called upon for a talk, this
gentleman, recent arrival in
Rome, not only created favora-
BILE impression, but won the
plaudits of his auditors, by the
followinb anecdote.
There was once very veal
thy man who was so fortunate as
to be married to very beautiful
girl early in life. He decided that
he would present her with a dol
lar every time he kissed her aad
under existing circumstances s
was necessarily quite often.
True to his promise, every time
he INDUCED in this pleasant pas
time he paid the forfeit.
AS the time went on, misfor-
tunes overwhelmed the husband,
his luck suddenly changed, he
sustained heavy losses in bust
ness, he went home bronen in
spirit and downcast, called in his
wife and tearfully told her the
truth. He declared he had lost
all and they would be forced tc
move out of their elegant resi-
dence the next day. Not at al
perturbed, the wife consoled him
as best she could, and proposed
that they take ride as they talk
ed matters over.
! Riding around the city, they
viewed the many beautiful houses
OF a splendid city, and after &
while drew up in front of par
ticularly well appointed and wei
constructed home. She asked
her husband how he liked it. He
replied, that it was most attrac-
tive, but that would never again
be able to live in such a place
The wife replied, =" This is ours
we will move in in the morning
paid for it with tine kissing
Money"
The husband was, of course
surprised and delighted, but on
the way back home, he again be-
came downcast and morose. His
wife was nonplused, she could not
fathom her husbands sudden
change in manner and eagerly
enquired the cause. After such
solicitation he brokenly replied
Honey, | just hate to think OF
how much we would have now
if | had done all my kissing at
home"
This man had unwittingly cast
bread upon the waters, which re-
turned after many days. But
there was a fly in the ointment
which it is to be sincerely hoped
did not destroy the after happi-
ness of the couple.
| The story however, illustrates
the value of doing your kissing al
home. In this particular instance
it paid. and paid we'll.

 The Holland Dockrill company. the feature act of the programme came last and held the audience in their seats until the final bow. Among the many good features of the act worthy of commendation are four horses rid den around the small ring abreast, stunt which has seldom been ac- compllshed on 8 vaudeville stage. The hcrses are exceedingly well trained and go through their work without single misstep. They have been trained entirely by Kindness" and not by whip" The act was well received.
 Harry and Lola Stevens opened the programme with a bit of soft shoe dancing interspersed with fancy and eccentric steps that brought them a good hand.
 Joe and Clara Nathan presented an amusing and entertaining offering, combining some good comedy dia- logs and songs with some rapid crayon cartooning that called them back to the footlights repeatedly. Gruet. Kramer and Gruet kept the ! audience in an uproar from start to | finish with a comedy skit of a cir GUS barker or "spieler.' The act was well put on and called for encore after encore.

"BLACI< BEAUTY'' GREAT PICTURE AT ALCAZAR

All lovers of Anna Sewel1's "Black Beauty" and of fine acting and good picture drama will enjoy this pro- duction at the Alcazar now. "Black Beauty" as you remember. Is the au- tobiography of a horse.
 But Vitagraph, with the aid of the busy Chesters. has invented a story about the human beings who owned Black Beauty. The counter plot is well devised. It might have stepped from any Victorian .novel and 1t fits into the atmosphere perfectly.
 The picture is Just about perfect in its details. The old English inns and the charming houses are delightfully."- reproduced. Moreover, Vitagraph shows us an old fashioned railroad train in action. The picture is a high tribute to the artistic abilities and the patience of its director, David Smith.

 The plan differs from that of other coal owning railroads in that 1t calls for no assessment from stockholders and involves no sacrifice of their equity in the properties.
 Opposition to the proposed plan was announced by the government soon after It's publication on three separate grounds;
 l. That it does not contemplate the disposition of the stock Of the coal company to persons not connected with or interested in the railroad company.
 2. That the plan to place the rail- road company's equity in it's subsidi-

WANDA HAWLEY AND WALTER HEIRS IN COMMERCIALLY

Wanda Hawley has different role
 In Her Sturdy Oak" at the Galax for the rest of the week She is a ciinging vine. Just the same Wanda comes forth with her usual fine per- fCrmance and makes the clinging vine
 who married a man whom she re-
 garded as her sturdy oak" as att tractive as most of the feminine leads she has portrayed. Those who saw
 Miss Hawley in "The Affairs of Ana
 tol now realize that she Is one of
 the rising stars of the screen and one of its real beauties. In this, her
 latest comedy, Miss Hawley displays
 the same real charm shown in her
 role in The Affairs of Anatol." Walter Hiers is naturally one of the most comical fellows on the screen and he acts the rather quiv-
 ering sturdy oak" husband in this clover comedy with a fun that Is contagious.
 Her Sturdy Oak is a comedy of newlyweds and their perplexities by Elmer Harris, talented writer of wit ty comedies. The pair are an ex- tremely impractical one and very soon they find the cold, cruel world even more so than it has been said to be. and poverty lands them in a torn down apartment until lucky | discovery. Then. presto! they. arc rich and live happily ever after.

On1ldren Cry
 FOR FLETCHER'S CA s TO RIA LISTEN ]!

Rob Adams has lived in Birming- ham for twenty years. He has al ways stood for the peoples rights in every matter that came up. He was sworn in as foreman of a grand jury here last year and charged with the monstrous task of investigating profiteering in house rents and other necessities of life, as well as general condi- tions of this great county. He did not flicker or finch from his duty to the people, but accom- plished one of the most thorough investigations ever made in this county. For this very act of hon esty and fearlessness, he is now be- ing stabbed in the back by those who preferred "whitewash" of conditions rather than have the light turned on so the people might see and know things.
 But will the good people of Bir- mingham allow him to be "snowed under in his race for City Commis- sioner for no greater crime than being honest? Surely not! If we do not need an honest man, and a man capable of doing things, and one that will turn on the light and show up conditions, and that stands always for the peoples rights, then what kind of man do we need? Adams is the only man in this race who offers any practical remedy for the relief of the people from the oppressive burdens of the unnecessary high cost of living. His plans for a readjustment of the present unfair license schedule will amply justify a great reduction in the prices of all the necessities of life. No one denies that, and the people want it and are entitled to it..
 Then again, he is the only candidate offering the people any protection for He proposes, if he is elected. that the city shall own pair of the very best bloodhounds obtainable for the purpose of running down and catching burglars, thieves and other criminals. The mere presence of these bloodhounds in the city will actually prevent many of the crimes now being committed here. and the city should by no means be without them. And now we call upon all lovers of justice and fair play. and those who feel that we should get out of the old rut at the City Hall. and come to the front as a great city should, to line up with us and help us make Rob Adams one of our City Com missioners.
