The Binging and comedy work of “Jolly” John Larkins has always been a source of unbounded delight to American theatre-goers since he first discovered his marvelous voice and comedy ability. It means a lot, there fore. to say that he has never done beLzer work than in the new big musi- comedy, “Royal Sam,” which will b^ presented at the Academy of Music, toruorrow afternoon and night. \pvertheless. Managers Morrow and Minilan are making this seemingly ex- t^avficrant claim for ’ Jolly” John. An- oxiior claim of the managers is that Lci"':ins has been surrounded by one of the most excellent singing companies of princirals and chorus that were e ■f'r brought together in this country, Hiiil they will be seen here just as they appeared during their New York run. '■Joll'^’" John Larkins has just finished & four years’ contract as co-star with Black Patti. “The Echo." There happened to be a billposters’ e>nko in Boston recently and In cqn- •oquence the lithographs advertising several theatrical attractions in that city were not on the billboards in sufR- ri .it numbers to please the various nil, nts. The men whose duty it «T:r to put pcFt?rs up would not touch the p:\^te brushes unless their hotirr ere short?ned and their wages Increased. , . . Some cf the show? submitted to the neglect, but not so "The Echo.” the big nusical comedy success of the Ne" York Globe Theatre which comes the Acndemy of Music.

Thir- company numbers sev- et"; 1 suifra^t'ttes in its cast. hen these ladies heard of the advertising predic-.menr in which their pet attrac tion vas plunged, the lines hardened ahrnt their fair, young mouths, hat- tins were withdrawn from Parisian headgear, and sleeves were rolled up until tbp dimples of fair white lauzhed right out in the faces of the »t--^'born men who refused to ric ures on the brick walls and bill- W)u.ds which adorn the city's thor- oii.-'-’*^res. • And so. with ppste-brush and paste- the feminine members of The ■E'cho" (''mi an' started out to do their 6vn posting.

Tseats for The Echo” are now on filile at Hawley's. “The Chocolate Soldier.” > Brimming with melody and efferves cent with the satiric humor of George Bernard Shaw, “The Chocolate Sol dier” will be presented at the Academy of Music next Monday evening by the Whitney Opera Company, including an orchestra of 25 players. The enter tainment has been uniformly brilliant ly successful on both sides of the At lantic. It is now in its second year in London. The opera has sent out widening ripples of harmony and thea tregoers are agog to see this work of Oscar Straus as accompanist to the brilliant story of George Bernard Shaw. In the language of the trained musi cian, “The Chocolate Soldier” is made up of tricky music whose note effects and tone themes change so rapidly to fit the humorous and warmly senti mental scenes that he who knows lit tle of music can laugh and revel in the melodA-; but the student sits in delight and amazement at the mystery of artistic brilliance on the part of Oscar Straus. The work is epoch- •making in bringing to the great favor of the theatregoers a true opera bouffe in which music tells the story as w’ell as d6es the dialogue, in which every member of the cast is funny some of the time, though there is no special comedian, and in, which a full storj is told without interpolated horse-play of anv kind. The influence of the work is already to be seen in the new oper ettas now coming before the public from London. Vienna and our Ameri can opera-makers. A voung Swiss gentleman forced in to the Servian army takes refuge in The house of Bulgarian colonel, and captivates his wife, her young cousin and also her daushtpv. The latter i? engaged to a Bulgarian major who pose? as a hero. The Swiss chap is an engaging fellow whose diet has been restricted to chocolate drops, but he is very vigorous in his love making and creates no end of complicaiions. The bogus Bulgarian hero is finallly ex posed and the Chocolate Soldier wins the hand of the Bulgarian maid after the difficulties have been ironed out. It develops that the real hero is the son of the leading hotel man in Swit:^- erland and able to overcome all the terrors of housekeeping. The produc tion is opera bouffe of a very high class with frequent humorous and sarcastic allusions.

Stealing into the metropolis quietly Afraid of Ghosts L Many people are afraid ef ^hottt. Few people ^ are afraid of |erm*. Yet the £host is f f^cy and the ierm is a fact. If the (erm could be niagmfied to a size frqual to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can’t be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the irater we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is a deficiency of vital fo.'ce, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, a hollow eye, vrben the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Gold en Mcdicsl Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the ■ystena of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom ach aad organa of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so ‘ that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed. "Golden Medical Discovery” contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum but a medicine of known COMPOSITION and with a record of 40 years •/ cures. Acccpt no •ubktitut«—tiicre is nothing “ just as good." Ask your neighbora. NOTARY PUBLIC During my 16 or 18 years’ experience as a PUBLIC NOTARY, I have represented bankers, lawvtrs and leading financiers In Charlotte, where a Notary Public was required in the final closing of big business deals. IT has ohen happened that the entire seltlement for all parties concerned, re 'resenting thousands ot dollars in money, checks, notes, etc., passed through my hands with me acting as “middle man” in the deal. There is a reason for this, 1. e.,—I glv« all business entrusted to me as a Notary Pub lic, prompt, courteous, confidential, and intelligent attention. If you hav® any such deals to be closed, give me your business, and you will be prop erly represented, and every detail of the matter, properly executed. I com mand business as a Notary Public on business merit, and handle all such matters on a strictly first-class high-toned business manner. ’Phone me any time you need a Notary Public. Incidentally—give me your businesa — My time is my own—^have horse and buggy, and -will go anywhere—an:* time—day or night—to act aa Notary. Office ‘Phone 243—Residence ’Phone 1270-J. FRANK F.

Unique Plan For Ga. Votets Atlanta, Sept..28.—A unique plan has •been suggested to let the people of Georgia vote this fall in their choice for democratic president of the Unit ed States. People in other states will not be voting on a new president until 1912. Senator William J. Harris, of Cedar- town has written the chairman of the state executive committee, Hon. Wm. C. Wright, of Newnan, suggesting that at the coming gubernatorial pri mary the people be given an oppor tunity to express their preference for a democratic candidate, and that the Georgia delegation to the national democratic convention, be , instructed to abide by the wishes of the people thereby expressed. Senator Harris is an enthusiastic Woodrow Wilson man, and believes the people of Georgia share his views, but that is neither here nor there. He wants the views expressed, wheth er they are for Wilson or Judson Har mon or whomsoever. If Senator Harris’ views are adopted by the state committee Georgia will have the interesting spectacle, in all probability, of a warm campaign con ducted this fall in Georgia alone, by the friends of'Harmon and Wilson on behalf of their respective candidacy for the presidency. If things get hot it might even be possible that one or both of those gentlemen would be in vited to speak in Georgia. Senator Harris’ letter has just been sent to Chairman Bright, and no reply has yet been receivefll. FRENCH SERVANTS FOR SOUTH. Atlanta, Sept. 28.—The declaration of the New York World that Southern women are beginning to import French servants to take the place of negro maids and cooks around the house is corroborated by investigatioij into Atlanta conditions. One Peachtree street matron recent ly returned from Europe with five French servants whom she has install ed—not the fancy frilled kind you see in the musical comedies, but real, com petent servants. Other Atlanta house wives are pursuing the same idea. NEW STATE SCHOOt AUDITOR. Atlanta, Sept. 28.—C. C.

C., Sept. 28.—With appropriate exercises the Ninety Nineteen Society, otherwise known as the scholarship fraternity of the college, held their annual initia tions Monday night in their hall in the Epworth building. Eleven men were admitted into the organization, and from the size of this number may be judged the excellent standing of the students of the class of 1913, from whose ranks came the greater part of the new men. The 9019 Society admits no member who do not attain unto a certain high degree of excellency in their studies, and it is one of the oldest organizations in the college. The Debate Council of Trinity Col lege met for the first time this year Monday afternoon and organized for the year. This body, which has in charge the general debating interests of the college, is composed of Profes sors Boyd, Flowers, and Glasson, and two representatives from each of the two literary societies of the qpllege. The first big athletic rally of the year was held in Craven IlaH Tuesday nig];it. The meeting was called for the l>url)()se of stimulating a much greater interest in the athletic sports that will come this fall, such as tennis, bas ket ball, and the track work. Enthusi- E.stic speeches were made by many of the students representing all the var- ous phases of sports conducted at Tiinity college. Geoigia Tech Campus Alive Atlanta, Sept. 28.—The campus of the Georgia school of Technology is one of the busiest places in Atlanta, and the enrollment of students this year is greater than ever before in the history of the institution. When the opening exercises were concluded last week it was found that there was room for the accommodation of only six more freshmen, and now the school is 'filled to its capacity. Tech started this year with 625 students enrolled, or over 125 more than last season. Although the aid giv en by the legislature by increased ap propriation this year will help meet the increased growth of the school, still further funds will be needed_ in the course of time, for the Geoi^ia Tech is out-growing even the proud est expectations of its founders and patrons. Part of the new shop building Is al ready in use, and numerous other im provements are visible on the campus. HAS MILLIONS OF FRIENDS.

Nature has op ened her sky-pictures page by page? Have you seen the lambent flame of dawn, leaping across the livid east; the red-stained, sulphurous islets float ing in the lakes of fire in the west; the ragged clouds at midnight, black as a raven’s wing, blotting out the shuddering moon?” “No, mum,” replied the rustic, short ly, “not since I give up drink.” That reminds us what Goldsmith said, in “The Vicar of Wakefleld,” “That the concatenation of self exist ence proceeding in a reciprocal du plicate ratio naturally produced a problematical dialogism.
