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: . . . . ... . i would accept the convention’s verdict.

We nmtse no principle. Our po*i- n the prohibition question is unchanged, and we sliull continue o maintain that position, as a democrat within the party, during the campaign 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. There wat* a large crowd in the city Saturday night thei 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. MILLEDGEVILLE’S SAND TEAM Healthful sports for the yot the nation is one of the best i ments .a country can make, a i expression of President Calvin idge. LOT The 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. Milledgeville up-to-date ho'.ei.

(Dalton Citizen) Under the above heading the Al bany Herald, in fine spirit and fine sport-nvinship, tells just how it will go with reference to the presidential race. It goes with democracy.
