Friday and Saturday.
The baseball squad at Georgia Mil

have been at work for about two
weeks now and will be ready on Fri
day of this Week to show what they
have learned at the hands of “Whi-
tey” Davis, who is coaching the ca
dets this year. The strong team rep
resenting the Georgia University Re
serve will give battle to the cadets
in their initial games of the season
on Friday and Saturday, April 2nd
and 3rd. The cadets have only a few
of the old guard back. Among these
are Watson at third, Struppa and
Fitts in the outfield, Johnson and
Hafele filling infield and outfield po
sitions. There is a wealth of new ma
terial, however, and there is promise
of quite a bit of competition for all

At a meeting of the board of trus
tees of the Georgia Military College
held Friday afternoon Mr. Miller S.
Bell, chairman of the Barracks com
mittee, which is composed of himself
and Messrs. E. E. Bell and J. E. Kidd,
submitted a report showing the re
ceipts and disbursements of the ex
penditures in erecting the new Bar
racks building.
This building i# one of the largest
and best constructed in the city, and
required much time and thought on
the part of the committee, especially
positions, even including the berths j the chairman, who gave largely of his

glance that the cadet team has a
hard schedule to win every game of
the season. However, with Coach Da
vis at the head and the indomitable
fighting spirit that G. M, C. has al
ways-shown, we feel, sure that they
will give a good account of them
selves. There are several other games
for the last part of May that ar
rangements have not been completed
concerning. There is promise of at
least twenty-five or thirty games,
half to be played at home and half
away. The second team is also sched
uling some games this season and
they are developing ball players
there for next year now. There are
some open dates on their schedule
and any team communicating with
Major J. F. Muldrow can arrange
dates.
The spring athletics will be opened
at G. M. C. this year with the annual
track and field day held on the 1st
of April. In these events the winners
will be picked who will in all proba
bility repiesent the*school in an in
ter-school meet with another school has a building well worth double the
the paying of bills, etc., and it was
through his efforts that thg building
was erected as economically and at
the cost that it was.
The building is three stories and
a basement. It is 197 feet and four
inches in length and 38 feet wide. It
is built of best hard, red brick and
trimmed with cement plaster, the in
terior is finished of high grade mate
rial and is in pleasing style.
The architectural effect is impos
ing and attractive, and the building
is, no doubt, nearer fire-proof than
any in the city. It has concrete staii
case from basement to top floor; has
concrete flooi'3 in the bath room and
water closets; has 300 feet of fire
hose attached to water pipe (50 feet
and nozzle at each end of the three
floors) and is equipped with fire es
capes. *
The erection of the building was
actively superintended by Mr. It. W.
McMillan, who took mi unusual in
terest and pride in his work.
The building was completed at a
cost of $45,514.02, and the college
made by the battalion that he recom
mended the college as an honor
school.
There were only three schools in
the southeastern division recom
mended. They were the Citadel at
Charleston. S. C., the Virginia Mili
tary Institute and Cf M. C. This
shows the high class of the inspection
of the battalion.
Qn April 13th two army staff offi
cers and another officer will come to
the college for the purpose of making
an inspection with a view of deciding
whether the recommendation shall be
carried out.
The four companies have Been
placed in the hands of their respect
ive captains, and are drilling hard
and regularly for this inspection, and
the competitives drill during com
mencement.
The battalion is on their mettle
to bring this honor to their school.

amount, but for the personal atten
tion and time given to its erection
by the chairman of the committee in
purchasing under competitive bids,
and buying closely and economically
and making every cent count, it
would have cost a great deal more.
To do this it took largely of the time
and thought of Chairman Bell, but
he gave it freely and unstintingly,
and to him the college and city are
indebted for this magnificent build
ing.
The report of Mr. Bell was receiv
ed with thanks by the board, and at
his request, turned over to the finance
committee, to thoroughly audit the
vouchers, receipts, expenditures and
the work of the committee in full.

MRS. MARY M’MULLEN DIED
ON SATURDAY MORNING
Mrs. Mary J. McMullen, widow of
the late Mr. J. A. McMullen, died at
the home of her son, Mr. J. T. Mc
Mullen, in this city Saturday morn
ing at 2 o’clock.
Mr’s. McMullen had been in feeble
health for several years, having suf
fered a stroke of paralysis, and later
sustaining a fall that injured her.
Her passing away came as a sad blow
to her relatives and friends. The re^
mains were buried at Mt. Pleasant
Sun to afternoon, Rev. -J. C. Wilkitr-
•son officiating.
Before her marriage Mrs. McMul
len was Miss Mary J. Golden, and
was a native of Wilkinson county.
She was sixty-two years of age, and
was a mefaiber of the Baptist church,
being always faithful in the discharge
of the duties of life. She is survived
by two sons, Mr. J. T. McMullen of
this city, and Mr. I. W. McMullen
of Waycioss, and one daughter, Mrs.
H. Shelledy, of Washington, D. C.

The trustees of the Georgia Mili
tary College at a meeting held last
Friday afternoon appointed a com
mittee to employ an architect to draw
plans and specifications for the new
school building, which is to be erect
ed on the campus of G. M. C.
At the bond election held last June
the citizens of Milledgeville,' without
an opposing ballot, voted $47,000.00
bond issue to complete the barracks
and build a school building. The bar
racks has been completed, and there
remains about $23,500.00 for the
school building. There is also a large
amount of material left over from
the barracks building, which can lie
utilized in the school building.
This building Should be staged and
completed by the opening of the
school in September. The grade
rooms at the college are crowded,
and "it is impossible for the teachers
to do justice to their pupils. The chil
dren of Milledgeville are not being
given a fair chance, because the
teachers cannot give them the in
struction demanded. In some of the
rooms there are over fifty children,
which congests and crowds them so
that it is detrimental to the children
not only from an educational stand
point but from that of health.

Milledgeville and Baldwin county
escaped the fury of the terrific storm
that swept through sections of Geor
gia Sunday afternoon and evening.
There was, however, a downpour of
rain, accompanied by wind and light
ning and thunder, but the wind did
not reach such proportions as to do
any property damage. The streams
throughout the county overflowed
their banks, the Oconee river rising
over the roadway leading to tho
bridge from this city.
Communication to the outside
I world was greatly crippled on ac
count of the damage done the wires
in the path of the storm.
During Sunday afternoon and eve
ning there was great uneasiness felt
by the people of this section on ac
count of the atmospheric conditions.
All through the night the rain con
tinued, and the nerves of numbers
of citizens were kept at a tension
which prevented sleep.
The storm did great damage in
some sections of Georgia and other
sections of the country.
In Georgia the greatest damage
was done at LaGrange, West Point
and Macon. In LaGrange there were
