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 of the old men. | time in looking after the buying of The following is a copy of the | material through competitive bids, schedule, and one can see from e above . miUneement is receiv- ith the greatest pleasure by the e of Mil! dgeville and Baldwin it moans much to the life interest of the city during the er months. • follow • m information gives a rehensivi outline of the work of tssion; mine V.V -k, June 15th to June -chc Short Courses, June 15th uly 2d. ealth V. .

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. GUHG MB Committee From Board of Trustees Appointed to Secure Plans and Specifications as Early as Pos sible.

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. Below we publish the report of the finance committee: Milledgeville, Ga., March 27, 1920. (Continued on Last Page) 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. Those who have been bereaved • i.La iif t huh- 1*4*fej- nave me here and elsewhere. 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. The'people of Milledgeville are Sections of State and Country Visit* ed By Tornado Which Took Big Toll of Life and Property. 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 (Continued on Last Page) looking to the board of trustees to re lieve this situation by the opening of the college next year, and the board realizing the responsibility resting upon them will give this matter prompt attention, and commence the work at as early date as possible.
