SONS' ORGANIZATION BUSY.
John W. Bale is meeting with great
success in organizing camps for the
Sons of Confederate Veterans in view
of the coming reunion. Mr, Bale is
holding the official position of adju-i
tand to Walter P. Andrews, com- |
mander of the Georgia division of
sons of Confederate Veterans, al
though his position has been that of
department commander of Tennessee
Sons of Veterans until he began the
work of building up the camps for
the reunion. Mr Bale has been a
member of the Georgia Legislature
for six years and is speaker pro tem.
of the House. He is a prominent
lawyer of Rome. |
“l have met with success.” said Mr. |
Bale, “in all the towns where 1 have
been. Last week I organized camps
in Dallas, LaGrange, Cedartown,
Buchanan and Carrollton. Next week
1 will organize camps in Athens, KEl
berton, Hartwell, Marietta, Blue
Ridge, Canton and Thomaston, ;
“I would like it made plain that
no son or grandson of a Counfederate
Veteran, however eligible he Is, can
take advantage of the one cent a mile
rates offered by the railroads unless
he is & member of some camp in good
standing., This is a ruling made by
the federal administration. The num
ber of men who can organize a camp
is ten. The camps get’ the benefit
of the peduction rates and the privi
lege of attending the two big balls
kiven during the reunion'” |
University Teachers Are. ‘
Given Salary Increase
Members of the board of trustees of
the Unlversity of Georgia, at a meet.
ing held in Atlanta Friday, voted to!
usge the bulk of the $20,000 increase in
the university appropriation whlchi
was granted by the Legislature this
year for a general increase In sala
ries of the teachers,
The increased appropriation goes
into effect the first of January, 1920,
Members of the unliversity * faculty
have lgng been in need of more pay
and several of the most valuable pro
fessors have been lost recently on this
account. University salaries are on
an average much lower than other
institutions in the State and South,
and it has only been through a love
of the school that a number of the
faculty have remained, The 191%
Legislature raised the appropriation
for the uniwersity from §75,000 to
$06,000 a year.

Col. Walter P. Andrews, general
chairman of the Confederate Reunion,
has issued a statement praising the
work accomplished by the men and
women in the reunion drive. He
added a plea to the people of Atlanta
to open their homes for veterans for
the four days of the reunion., |
His statement follows:
“When we finished our campaign
to raise the reunion fund of $60,000,
we breathed a sigh of relief and felt
deeply thankful to the people of At
lanta for supporting so liberally that
necessary phase of our reunion work.
“The finishing touches of that cam
paign were put on by the splendid
women who put our Confederate Flag
Day over the top. Mr. Willis, the
chairman of the finance commilttee,
had the active leadership of the
finance campaign and is due a world
of credit for his splendid work. How
ever, he heartily joins with me In
unstinted praise of the work of the
women and of the splendid publicity
the Atlanta papers gave to the cam
paign.
TO OPEN COMMISSARY.
“Immediately after the finish of
the finance campaign we jumped into
the equally important phase of our
work—that of housing the old vet
erans. After much thought and con
sideration and after conferring with
General Van Zandt, commander of
all the veterans, we decided upon the
plan of asking the people to take the
old men into their homes as guests,
furnishing them lodging and break
fast. It was the desire of the com
mittee to put as little burden as pos
gible upon the housekeepers of the
city, so they hit upon the plan of es
tablishing a commissary department
on Capital Hill, which fortunately is
within two short blocks of the Audi
torium, where all of the conventions
will be. This plan will enable them
to be together all day and will give
them an opportunity to renew old
acquaintances and discuss to their
hearts' content their old recollections
and experiences qf the war,
“The committee acknowledges with
many thanks the co-operation of the
governor in permitting the use of the
capitol grounds for this purpose,
without which we would have been at
considerable loss as to how to pro
ceed
VETS TO BE NO TROUBLE.
“While the old veterans will be
guests in the homes, we wiph to as
sure the housekeepers they will be
no trouble to them. They will not be
constantly with the fumlily, like the
nsual gues=t is, but they wiil be down
town, hobnobbing among themselves,
The family will not have to give
them any attention at all, and we say
this because we fear that many of
our people have been deterred from
angwering our call through the press
for volunteers to take these old men
in their homes on the ldea and theory
that they will be so much trouble,
nlthough nothing that we are saving
here ghould be construed as deter.
ring the family having old veterans
as guests from devoting such time
and entertainment to them ax they
may see fit. But the point we wish
to stress i# that they will not be a
burden to anyone,
“These old men, now feeble In
‘hnd.v, and unablo to resist discom
forts, we must remember in the six.
ties were young, stalwart, herole,
dauntless and self-sacrificing young
Southerners who stood between the
homes of our people and the In
vaders, Many of them stood between
the people of Atlanta of that day
and time and Sherman's army on its
march to the sea. None of us de-
Will You Entertain

A number of homes have alrea:

\
Drive Set for September 22 to 30,
Hospital Too Cramped for
City’s Needs.
The next thing Atlanta is to be
called on to do is to put the Grady
Hospital squarely on Its feet and in
shape to handle adequately the civic
hospital business of a great and
swiltly growing city., From Septem
ber 22 to 80, a campaign will be put
on to raise $150,000, The dates were
definitely settled at a meeting of a
commitiee from the board of trustees
and the medical board, |
The Grady Hospital has been
cramped and embarrassed by lack ot
funds for several years. One feature
has been particularly hampered—
quarters for the nurses—and Sutur-i
day the request of the hospital otfi
cials, asking the county for §575,000
for the completion of the new dormi
tory, was turned down.
It was explained by the coumy]
comniissioners that the refusal of
the request was unavoidabie, due to‘
a financial sitringency arising trom
the fuct that the county this year has
been compelled to pay for practically
all of the ¢ity improvements,
HOME FOR NUKSES.
The reason, of course, is proper; but
it doesn't go far toward providing a'
decent home for the nurses, The
dormitory has been huilding for near
ly tour years, and it will require the
amount stated to put it In shape for
oceupancy. \
This need is the principal one of the
drive. Statements from such men as
H. Y, McCord, T. C. kewin, Dr, T, D.'
Longino, Dr. Dunbar Roy, Dr. G. W,
Quillian and Dr, W. E. Campbell and
Superintendent Steve R. Johnson—
all members of the joint commitiee—
make It plain that the matier is ur
gent In the extreme, .
THE KITCHEN, *
One feature of the exigency-—the
kitchen of the hospital-—-may be set
torth in the words of Dr. Quillian:
“The hospital kitchen, lin which
food for more than 300 patients,
nurses and doctors Is prepared three
times daily, is in a dilapidated condi.
tion, and is in such a state ol decay
that sanitation is impossible, In fact,
ulmost every department of the insti
tution Is in urgent need of renovas
ton and repair” |
Of course, there is only one side to
the question-—that is granted by every
one concerned. Added to this siate
ment may be adduced an exitract
from one by Miss Martha Glitner, su
perintendent of nurses: ‘
“As superintendent of nurses of
Grady Hospital, | am writing you in
thelr behall;, not to complain or find
fault, but to present plain facts, The
number of nurses to give proper
nursing care to the patients Is en
tirely linadequate, They are much
overworked and are on duty loug
hours. As a result, there is a great
deal of sickness among them., On
Wednesday four wero off sick, two
on Thursday and a number are on
duty who should be off, ( ‘
NURSES OVERWORKED,
“The head nurses are equally uvvr-‘
worked, and have been, or are sick.
Four of them have resigned to take
much needed rests, after which they
are to take up outside work, as they
fedl the salury pauid them is not suffi.
clent when considering the hard work
they are required to do”
The committee {n its statement re
garding the drive considers the situa
/lon as #o urgent that “when the eit
‘wens of Atlanta are informed of the
merits of our appeal, there {8 no doubt
that an immediate and adequate re
sponse will be made”
By C. A. WOODS.
Maj. Gen. Edward Mann Lewis,
present commander of Camp Gordon,
has been decorated eleven times by
the allied nations and wears the
American Distinguished Service
Cross, but he wouldn't trade the high
opinion which his officers and men
have of him for the whole bunch!
And, there is a reason—every one of
the 3,500 officers and men now at
the camp as well as many of those
who gerved under him overseas and
are now in the hospital at Fort Mc-
Pherson, have dubbed him “The grand
old man.”
General Lewis is probably the most
decorated officer of the American
Army. He wears honor medals from
Montenegro, Belgium, France, Eng
land and Italy in addition to the one
conferred by fhis own country. In
addition to being decorated by the
British, the general was given an
order while in England and is now
known in that ewuntry as “Gen. Sir
Edward Mann Lewis.”
Although General Lewls was over
seas for about eighteen months he did
not break forth as a wonderful fight
er until as commander of the Third
Brigade of the Second Division he
took such an impeortant part in stop
ping the Hun at Chateau Thierry
Later he was transferred from the
brigade and given command of the
Thirtieth, “Old Hickory,” Division,
which won fame in the fighting
around Ypres and in breaking the
Hindenburg line at Belleau Court.
DOESN'T TALK TODAY.
General Lewis, according to officers
at headquarters, does not like to talk
about what he did while at the front.
He much prefers to give the credit to
the Yanks who remain in Flanders
fields and to those who are scattered
in the army hospitals over the coun
try.
“No matter what kind of leadership
out men had,” he is quoted as having
once remarked, “if they had not been
of the highest type of fighting man
they would never had stood the test
as they did and shed such glory on
