Superintendent Beaver
Calls on Augustans to aid

H. F. Beaver, superintendent of the
scavenger department of the Board
of Health, Is making an extra effort
to bring his work up to an extra high
standard of efficiency during the

NEGROESTHIOAT
SLASHED Bf
UZOH
Sunday morning at 2 o'clock eight
negro men. who were gambling in the
Turkish bath department in the
Harison building, got in a little fight
which ended with two of the number
being placed in the police station.
The bones were not going to suit
one portion of thi* crowd, so thoi
brought pistols and knives into (day.
The pistol did little damage except
to wake the inmates of the hotel,
but Pete Johnson had his neck bad
ly cut and an artery in his arm sev
ered, besides numerous cuts about
the back. His chances of recovery
are very slight.
Marion Carter was badly cut in the
back of his neck and head. Neither
of the negroes could stand when Dr.
Boh Eve, who had been called, ar
rived, The place and the negroes
were covered with blood.
Ernest Holmes, who works in th*
building, was the host at the little
party. After the trouble with his
guests he rushed to the Cabaniss Drug
company and called the physician.
He accuses Mose Anderson, who is
under arrest, with handling the knife
in one instance. Mose denies the
charge and states that Ernest fired
the pistol.
than in winter. Watermelon rinds,
fruit peels, etc., are thrown out In
quantities. For the summer
months, Supt. Beaver has only beep
provided with ttyo extra carts, hut
by careful attention to his duties and
hard work on the part of men in his
employ, they are keeping Ihe city
clean.
Many complaints have come to the
president of the hoard of health. Dr.
Eugene E. Murphey, some of them
just, some of them otherwise. He
says that much depends on the co
operation of the citizens of the city,
and that in many cases a careful ob
servance of the laws would obviate
the necessity of sending special re
quesis to the head of this depart
ment.
For instance, if the garbage cans
are. filled at the wrong time, their
contents must of necessity neraain
therein until the next return of the
scavenger carts. The men employed
by tliis department do not work on
Sunday, and unless trash is put out
before 8 o'clock Saturday morning,
it will not be removed until Mon
day. In this connection Superintend
ent Beaver urges every householder
to see that garbage cans are moved
from the curbing after the scavenger
carts have made their daily round.
If this is done he will he aide to
ascertain much more readily whether
or not his men have done their work
well. If a garbage can is left out
side, he must drive close up to find
out whether or not its contents have
been removed, whereas, if all are
taken in he will, by glancing down
' blocks of a cross street, detect
their absence, showing that carts
have already passed.
It is understood at the board of
health offices that several merchants
on lower Broad street are in the
habit of sweeping out their stores
late Saturday aiternoon. Trash is
therefore loft out in front of theif
places all day Sunday, causing the
thoroughfare to appear particularly
fLthv on the day when everything
should be bright and clean. Dr.
Murphev stated yestojay that if
these merchants persisted in thu*
violating a city law. cases would he

Ell! ILL BIIIS
10 BE OPENED
TUESDAY IT
NOON ;
Contract for New Munci
pal Home Will be
Awarded to Highest
Bidder
Bids for the construction of the new
city hall will be opened in the office
of Mayor Dunbar at noon Tuesday
and the contract for construction wiil
be awarded to the most acceptable
bidder.
Advertisements have been running
in the Augusta papers for about a
month and in addition to this it was
inserted in two of the leading trade
journals of the country, one in Chi
cago and the other in Baltimore.
As a result contractors from all
over the country have figured on the
proposition and it is quite certain
that a close estimate will be given
by the largest contractors in the
country.
The fact that construction material
is cheaper now than for many years
makes this an ideal time for building
the city hall and the structure can
now be put up many thousands of dol
lars cheaper than it could have been
a year ago.
As a resutl of such a state of af
fairs it is quite certain that the high
est grade material and the most ele
gant work will be put into th e struc
ture so that Augusta’s new building
will be one of the finest In the coun
try.

ed from Railroads in
Consequence of Recent
Decision of Judge Speer.
Augusta lumber dealers are now
receiving their share of money from
the railroads in Ihe famous two-cent
refund rase in which Judge Emory
Speer rendered his famous decision
several months ago.
The ease was stubbornly fought
throughout every branch of the judi
cial system and was finally won bv
the lumbermen. Augusta manufac
turers and dealers will receive quite
a large sum as this' is one of the
leading lumber centers of the coun
try .
The rate on which the refund was
obtained was on shipments beyond
the Mississippi and Ohio river
points and amount to a considerable
quantity on the whole to Georgia
saw mill men. many of whom have
head offices here.
