CADETS DRILL
FOR FIRST GAME
C<Mdi Butts PBit in ( Charges
Thraagh Intensive Saw—fe
Drill* far Oglethorpe Cane.
Coach Wallace Butts began put
ting his G. M. C. cadets through
their laird week of practice Monday
with an intensive passing drill. Af
ter working two weeks on funda
mentals, the cadets have about
smoothed out the kinks which all
football teams have to contend with
during the first days of practice.
Beginning this week Coach Butts
will give his charges their first dose
of steady scrimmaging. New plays
will be turned over to the quarter
back and the team will bend their
efforts; toward getting the co-ordina
tion and timing of these plays
near perfection as possible.
In Monday's passing drill Coach
Butts could heave a qigh of relief
because for the first time in several
years there is a lad trodding Daven
port field who can actually throw
a pass. Last year the G. M. C. team
was hand : capped by the lack of
passer. Thiq year Henry Ricd, a
Gainesville, Ga., hoy, will do the
passing and he handles the ball like
a veteran. Reid has distance and
accuracy and this is what a good
passer needs. With Reid handling
the ball, G. M. C. should have a
formidable passing attack this year.
Much of the present cadet ma
terial is green, but Coach Butts is
■utting them through the paces and
should have them on a par with last
year’s championship team by mid
season. Those boys who are showing
good form are, Re : d, Cook, Rober
son, Ferraria. and Hartman, backs;
and Wilhite, Troutman Higgin
botham, Combes and Nelson, line-

Fnds Mast Be Provided to Care
for Needy Until Amu] Roll
Call ia November.
The urgent need of funda to care
for many destitute cases in Baldwin
county was explained at a meeting
of a committee of ladies Wednesday
afternoon, who had gathered at the
request of the Red Cross committee
of the county which has issued a
call for help.
At a previous meeting of the Red
Cross committee the need for funds
was forcefully presented by Mr.
George Tunncll, retiring chairman
of the committe . He sa'd the new
relief organ ration has given jobs
to a number who have been on the
Red Cross roll and has brought
some relief to the heavy demands
that have been made the past year
for aid to charity. But there are a
number of destitute families who
have no means cf support and arc
physically unable to work that must
be cared for. Mr. Tunncll explained
that if the relief money to aid un
employment is to continue to come
here, the direct relief caws must
be cared for.
Mrs. Frank Bone was named chair
man of a committee tc make plans
to solicit funds. Mrs. Bone called
representatives of all the church and
patriotic women’s organisations in
the county to the meeting Wednes
day afternoon. The committee will
make a canvas to qjcure funds to
take care of needy cases until the
annual roll call in November when
funds for the new year will be se
cured. The matter has become urg
ent and the people of the city and
county are asked to co-operate and
help relieve this serious situation
the county.

COL. SIBLEY BACK AT HOME
Col. Erwin Sibley and Harry Jen
nings reached home Saturday from
the Century of Progress. Exposition
in Chicago. They enjoyed the trip,
and saw many wonderful things at
the Exposition.
Three boys from Cuba are attend
ing G. M. C-. and they are enjoy
ing the peace and quiet of Milledge
ville after two weeks of shooting,
rioting, and living in dread and aus-
pense while a r.volution raged in
their native land.
Rene Guin, and Andrea Bustillio,
of Havana, and Victor Ramirez, of
Ciinfuego?, left homo only a short
ago. but not until they had
?een a president resign and flee the
country; people shot dowr every
business house, factory and railroad
closed and a general upheaval that
threatened the saifety of their Islanc
home.
The boy* expressed the hope that
the United tates would intervene
and give them a stable government.
They said they believed they* ex
pressed the majority sentiment of
the people of Cuba. The present un
rest and confusion is caused by reds
and communist. Rene Guin explain
ed. iGuin had the most excit'ng time
of the three. His father was a gov
ernment employee under the ad
ministration of Michado, and al
though he did not sympathize with
the Michado government he was
forced to leave Cuba. Guin said that
until he came to M ; lledgcville he
had not had a peaceful nights rest in
several weeks because of the at
tempts to take his father's life.
The boys love Cuba and want to
see peace and order restored. They
watch the newspapers daily to see
developments and at the same time
have expressed a faith in the people
of the I.land and feel confident that
everything will be alright soon.
COMPLETION WILLEDGEVIIAH-
ATLANTA ROAD ONE OF FIRST
PROJECTS
The State Highway Department
haq announced that among the firzt
projects to be undertaken with the
iew ten million dollar road fund
will be to pave the sixteen miles of
dirt road between Madison and
Eatonton and thus complete an all
paved route from Milledgeville to
Atlanta. This will also complete a
short all paved route from Atlanta
to Savannah.
Charley Ranson, a negro, shot and
killed Henry Clayton, another negro,
Saturday afternoon. The shooting
took place on East Greene ntrect,
at the home of Otelia Cirmming,
negro woman, on East Greerc
street, near the lumber yard. Ran
son was engaged in heating the wo
man with a pistol, when Clayton
interfered. The weapon was turned
on him and five bullets *ont crash
ing into his body, causing instant
death. The killing was witnessed by
several spectators.
After the shooting Ranson left the
scene before the arrival of the
officers, and a search during Sat
urday nignt failed to locate him.
He. however, was arrested Sunday
morning by Sheriff Haynie Police
man Cox at the home of Lyman
Veal. East of the Oconee ri
where he had just arrived when ap
prehended by the officers. He was
hi ought to the county jail, where he
will remain until Superior Court
convenes in November when he will
be tried on the charge of murder.
It is reported that Ranson has
been employed at the Milledgeville
State Hospital the past fourteen
years, earning here from Florida.
Following a suggestion made by
n prominent woman of Milledgeville
in a letter published in last week's
Union-Recorder, the Woman's or
ganizations of Milledgeville hnve
taken under consecration plans for
a Hospital Donation Day.
The letter suggested that a day be
set aside annually for people of the
city and county to bring gifts in the
way of canned fruits and vegetables
and other nonperirhable foods to the
hospital to help take care of the
charity patient who are taken care
of at the hospital. The author of the
letter said tihe had seen the plan
followed in another city and that she
honed it could be carried out here
The Women’s organizations of thi
city will discuss the proposal at their
meetings here and leaders expressed
the hope that a Donation Day could
l» planned for early October. Every
—tizen in the county would be given
an opportunity to make a ■‘ntt"
tion on thif|day for the Hosv-- «il and
help care for charity cases.
Dr. Richard Binion said that
great number of charity cases we
cared for each month and that an
epression at this kind from the pub
lic would be a great aid to keep the
institution going- He said that the
hospital had never refused a charity
cnaj. although the number of charity
cases cared for placed a great fi
nancial burden on the doctors.

nt will
be built which will involve a large
expenditure. Additional buildings
will be constructed and many of the
present buildings will be imp-jved
to make more fire proof. The con
struction work will give employment
to a large number of people. It will
also open the way for the consump
tion of a great amount of building
material. It is hoped that this loan
will he approved and construction
started before December. Col. Marion
Alien, a member of the Board of
Control, was instrumental in secur
ing the.-** funds and was on the com
mittee that considered the plans and
asked for the loan.
Th- ernstruction of a bridge over
the Oconee river and other work
on the highway* in this section will
probably be approved soon. The
Highway Department has already
made the necesmry survey and had
the plans drawn for the bridge over
the Oconee. It is also probable that
the Columbia street road will also
be approved.
Several million dollars has been
made ava'lahlc to Georgia for coun
ties and cities to be used in needed
improvements Thirty per cent of
this money will be given to the. towns
and countries borrowing the money
and thirty years will be the period
in which the money will have to be
repaid. The interest rate is 4 and
one-half per cent. None of the money
will have to be paid back until the
end of five year*.
Citizens of Milledgeville and
Baldwin county have already public
ly endorsed and approved plans for
the county and city to borrow some
of th's money for a new court house
the extension of sewage lines snd
water mains nnd for u«e in improve
ments of the schools. The last Grand
Jury also approved the expenditure
of funds for the new court hou**e.
The County Commissioners have
asked the Board of Regents to Jis-
cuss with them the sale of the pres
ent property to the otatc. The City
Councfl has delayed taking action
regarding securing these funds, but
are expected to consider it again
later.
Many citizens have pointed out
the advantage of securing funds for
improvements at G. M. C., which
would include a gymnasium and
clam room building also an enlarge
ment of the grammar school to meet
the crowded conditions in this build
ing. It has been pointed out that
additional room in the grammar
school would be necessary before
another year.
