NEW BUILDINGS
A»k UgUUtnre for $160,000 for
Dormitory ud Library. More
Room Needed, It Is Said.
The Georcia State Collette for
Women is asking the Georgia leg-
irlalnre to n.uke a building fund ap
propriation of $160,000 to be used
i the erection of a library and dor-
litory to take care of the much
,ei-ded room space at the college.
The officials of the college pointed
,ut thai hundreds of Georgia girls
iere being turned away each year
and that a new dormitory accomo
dating about 300 girls would re-
» this pressure on the institution.
Application for the coming year are
already sufficient to fill the available
i t-pace and many young ladies,
are anxious to take advantage
of ihe .--pU*ndid courses at the col-
4 egc, are having to be turned away.
The library problem is very im
portant. stated Dr. Beeson, acting
president. "A complete library is one
of the most important and essential
departments of a collgee,” stated the
school head. For several years the
college has housed its library in one
of the dormitory buildings and the
increase in books and equipment
ha-.* made the present room small
and the location has required arti
ficial light. “A building so located
and so built that it will afford eom-
f< rtable reading space and plenty of
sunlight it a real necessity at the
college for our library, and we hope
the legislature will see this important
factor in our educational machine
and give us the necessary money for
a modern library,” stated one of the
officials.
The college appeal for this fund
has been placed as the budget recom
mendations and will go before the
house appropriation committee for
commendation. The college officials
•e anxious that this money be pro
cured and believe the legislature
will see the wisdom in the expendi
ture of this mony.

Adopt Resolutions Urgini
tative McClanoy aad Soi
it to Amend Fortiliw
At a meeting of the Farmers’ Pro
gressive Club of Baldwin county
held at the home of Mr. George Hol-
linshead last Saturday the farm body
adopted resolutions commending Sen
ator Harris for his splendid work
in breaking the fertilizer trust and
calling upon Representative McClu
ney ar.d Sen. John Lewis to aid in
neacting laws that will better pro
tect the farmer in the matter of fer
tilizer. The following resolutions
were adopted:
"Realizing that the reduction
the cost of fertilizers, this year
due to the desolving of the the fer
tilizer trust, and that said dissolu
tion was largely due to the efforts
of Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia,
and also realizing that the fanners
of this state and the south, need
greater protection in the matter of
the grade of goody sold to them (in
as much as the state chemists re
port shows that over fifty per cent
of the goods sold in 1926
up to the requirements), and realiz
ing that our state laws neeed revis
ing a« to the matter of fertilizers.
Theiefore, befc it resolved by
the Pt ogreswie Farmers Club of
Baldwin county, That we thank
Senator Harris for his efforts al
ready made to secure protection for
the farmers through the United
States government, and we further
request him to use his best efforts
through the national government to
further protect the farmers of the
country in the matter of fertilizers.
And that we call on our represen
tative, Rev. J. F. McCluney and Sen
ator John Lewis for this district to
amend the state laws to the end that
we get better protection in this mat
ter of fertilizers, and that we call
on our local Chamber of Commerce,
and all other civic bodies in Georgia
to co-rperate with us in this matter.
Signed, T. TREANOR, Act. Sec

IN AHRETRAP
Cor. Hardman ia First Addrcu to
the Geacrai AiumMy to Stress
Needs of Imtitutioa.
Conditions at the Georgia State
Sanitarium at Milledgeville, where
nearly 5,000 insane patients are
crowded into quarters sufficient for
barely two-thirds that number, have
reached the point where “wometbing
must be done,” it is pointed out by
the trustees of the sanitarium, a
body of Georgia citizens serving
without pay, giving a great deal of
valuable time, and feeling a deep
sense cf responsibility to the public
and to the patients it. the sanitarium
and their families.
The sanitarium has grown into a
veritable ‘‘city of the insane" an the
population of Georgia has increased.
Patients, attendants and other <*m-
ployees now number nearly 6,000,
than the population of most
county seat towns in Georgia. Yet,
it is pointed out, the buildings and
equipment hardly have been increas
ed in many years. Patients are forc
ed to sleep on matresses placed
wherever floor space can be found.
Such congestion makes it almost im
possible to give the treatment de
mand and which will restore the in
to normalcy and return them
to their homes.
Governor Hardman will make this
subject one of the outstanding feat
ares of his firy. message to the gen
eral assembly, it is stated. He has
long been a trustee of the Sanitarium
and as a physician, a humanitarian
and a business man, is closely in
sympathy with the great need of
tensive physical improvements.
Unless something is done, it
pointed out, further admission to the
sanitarium will be impossible, and
many insane persons must* be
den to their families or a charge up
on their counties, besides being
possible menace to their communi
ties.
The trustees will recommend, ai
the most feasible step, the establish
ment of an entirely separate sanita
rium for negro patients, of whom
nearly 1,700 are kept
grounds ay the whites and in close
proximity, a condition which pre
sents many objections.
The fire protection system, too,
antiquated and in bad condition, and
the insane and women confined in
the ancient buildings are constantly
menaced by fire. A general conflagra
tion might easily cost hundreds of
lives of helpless men and women.
With Dr. Binion. From Au
Dr. John W. Mobley, Jr., physician j
and surgeon, who for the past year
has been assisting in the University
Hospital, will come to Milledgeville
eeks to prac
tice hi» profession being associated
ith Dr. Richard Binion.
Dr. Mobley graduated at the Med
ical College in Augusta a year ago,
and since that time has been in the
University Hospital assisting in
operations and caring for emergen
cy cases. He is recognized as one of
the most promising young doctors
leaving the college in several years
and associating physicians have been
very much impressed with the ability
and skill of the young doctor.
Dr. Mobley will come here about
the middle of July and will
offices of Dr. Binion assisting him
in hospital und general practice
work.
Mrs. Mobley and little John, Jr.,
11 come with Dr. Mobley, making
their residence on Jefferson street
with Mr. and Mm Heindel Mobley.
Dr. Mobley has many friends here
