W hat Retailtrs Would Do.
The Board's report shows that it rr- j
qulred *IOO to distribute *316.79,0r about i
26 per tent.
IMall tmrehants will add 10 r* r cent |
to *346 79 and for the sum yielded sup
ply to the county the number of pounds
and packages of goods set out In th?
above statement.
It Is still the opinion of many that It |
is entirely practicable for th" Board I
cf Charitt-s to put out to reputable re
tail dealers filling of small orders from
the Charity B <4rd. This, as Is stat.rt to
T! Herald, would result in requiring
but one clerk for the Board.
However all this may be. retail mer- j
chan's emphatically deny the correct
ness nt any statement •• hlch get s to
show to th • people cf Augusta that
th y make 43Vi per cent* by reta.ong
meal, fleur, br.ccin, grits, rice, coff.-e.
susur and ten.
Grtr retailer told me this: "Js?t me
sa y this, too. that certainly a package
cf groceries from a retail grocer would
be better, at times anyhow, than a
package from the commissary. The rea
fi n la this. Thier-goc.ds at th • commis
sary are the ve*'y toughest and go to
the aprlicants In chunks.”
Anc/.het grocer said: "To put out the j
small orders to reputable grcc.irs would |
prove a benefit to the aopllcant from
th- that a number of th-m could
have the grads delivered to their doors.
In many instances the chatity seekers
arc sick and ill and can't carry even
the little supplies they got.
"Ceitainly the grocers could distrib
ute goods as cheaply as the board.”

Description.
The following description tolls all
i.boiu thi duties of Mi Ferguson and
his css.'stanta:
This Institution in our midst, t f
which cur citizens know very little,
and or.e which the public genera'.y and
railroad people In particular, are veiy
greatly benefited, was started one year
ago today, August 10, 1897.
When the Augusta and SummercUie
f;.:iti| lo get Its charter renewed, it l.e
came necessary that Ihc railroads in
Aligns'a should have some one to look
after the transfer business —that is,
err leads of freight to and from the va
rious roads to the various private side
tracks, which was formerly handled by
(be Augusta and Summerville railroad.
It was decided that they would es
tablish what was known as a transfer
office and to anpoint a transfer agent
whose business was to look after the
business above referred to and it was
also, of the same time, decided to work
the transfer office In such a manner
that the transfer agent, in ad
dition to the freight business to pri
vato siding !, should handle ail trains
of the different roads through the
Plrrots by "block system." the transfer
agent having absolute control of all
trains on tile s'.rec-tfi b°Uv.‘ :i the fol
lowing points: On Washington street,
between soutb'jside of Savauanh river
and Hall street: both sides of “Y” to

i twelve lo fourteen thousand freight
] .-era, loaded and empty, are handled
per month, to and 'rom roads and to
| and from various private side tracks.
Tha lh-nrflt of the "block system"
j will be ae-n from one feature alone and
I bat Is that before the system was !n
--ang irated there was not a week pass
! i tl that there was not one or l«vo of the
; roads before th- recorder for blocking
the streets and for which the fine of
one hundred dollars In each ease was
imposed.
Splendid Record.
Since August loth. 1897, (the day the
"block system" waa Inaugurated) there
has not been a single case made
against a single road for blocking
streets. It is Interesting to know how
the system is worked. When a train or
engine desires to come on the streets,
thr mnn In charge mils up the trans
fer cffice over the 'phone, gives num
her of the rnglne. where they want to
go find where from anil number of
ears in his trnin and If the track is
clear :r given permission to start and
when neceaenry, the regular meeting
points are made at various points on
the streets, same ns is done on a rail*
road under order system and by this
means (here is no such thing as hav
ing n block unless something breaks
down and In which case the transfer
agent or his assistants have full au
thority to move the trains In which
ever direction they sec fit In order lo
open any block that might from a
muse of this kind occur. All togeth
er the block system lias been n big
help to the railroads, railroad men and
the public and It Is a mystery how tV
roada got along without it aB long aa
they did.
