Dr. Anderson in brief says this:
That the plant at the present is
producing Grade C water, made .*afc
only by the overwhelming use of
chlorine gas.
That the water is in constant
danger of contamination from State
Farm sewerage.
That the fire hydrant* are in the
majority connected to four inch
-main* which are too small.
democratic convention adjourned
from a group of women delegates
who had favored not only a bone-dry
plank in the platform, but bonedry
candidates to stand thereon. Several
of them announced that they were
going back home "to fight A1 Smith
to the last ditch."
Yet these same good women went
into the convention with the expecta
tion that if they succeeded in getting
the platform declaration and the
nominees they wanted, all democrat:

n the prohibition question is

and afterwards.
T! ** etymology of “democratic”
indicates ity meaning—“rule of the
people.” That rule can never be by
unanimity, therefore it must be by
majority. When we are of the ma
jority. we expect the minority to ac
quiesce, but when the majority is
against us. then we acquiesce.
The democratic party goes on, far
beyond 1928. We propose to go with
it.

The city affairs as they now are)
require as much time and thought if {
efficient management is to be had as*
any business in this Uwn.
What business man of Milledgeville
would think of leaving the affairs of
their business to move along without
•a conipt.ent head active every minute
of the day in their administration.
In centering the entire responsi
bility of the government of a city,
the cost would be more than saved.
The services of such a man, remem
bering that he is subject to the ,-tuper-
vision of a council, would bring Mil
ledgeville into a more healthy growth
and financial status.
In reviewing the affairs of cities
which .are operated under the city
manager plan, we find that all of
them are free of debt and at the
same time are making great strides
to the front. They are making ends
mee without borrowing money. They
get 100 cents of service for every
dollar expended.
The modern city ha.*’ grown to be
a big business und .a well trained
business manager is the greatest
need for the modern city.

A MODERN HOTEL NEEDED
Milledgeville needs a modern an
up-to-date hotel, one that will at
tract the traveling men to make a
trip longer in order that they might
reach Milledgeville to spend a longer
time; one that will attract tou
ns they are pawing to spend a day j
nnd night and longer. Milledgeville,
with its points of historical interest,
the institutions of learning, and state
institutions, is one of the most im
portant cities in Georgia. Its shade
trees, and paved streets enchance its
beauty and charm.
A modern hostelry has become an
absolute necessity for the further ad-
vancement of Milledgeville. There is
nothing that advertises a city and
>n Legion hn< made a
liberal contribution to the betterment
and advancement of healthful sports
.vhen the sand lot baseball league was
organized.
The local post has entered a tenm
in the Junior League to compete for
the national championship. The team
has been furnished with base balls
and other necessary articles that the
team may perfect itself in the art.
The hoys on the team, under the
direction of Sgt. Wootten, have enter
ed into the practices with much en
thusiasm and determination. They
are to compete for the National
Championship with a trip to
World Series as their prize and their
ei/hur'insm is indeed encouraging.
The team after its preperntions has
no where to really play wher will
benefit itself sufficiently to compete
with the other teams who have enter
ed the league.
We believe that the city officials
can make no better contribution to a
more worthier cause than to prepare
a diamond for the boys. Very
tie time will be necessary to put a
field in playing shape and the 1
couragement and happiness that
will give to our youth will be wo
the expense.
