The new building* that are being constructed in Au
gusta have a more significant meaning than is apparent
from a casual observation.
The tearing down of old buildings and the construc
tion of new ones is not an indication that the people of
the community have developed an artistic temperament
or a wish to have a beautiful object upon which to rest
their eyes, but is founded upon a more substantial basis
than a desire to please the eye or tickle the vanity.
Cold blooded business men require better reasons
than sentiment to induce them to furnish money to im
prove a city. This reason they had when our city found
itself handicapped with its former improvements, and
there w*s a real, genuine demand for more offices, more
hotel rooms, more post office boxes, clerks and carriers.
Following the line of thought that there is a de
mand for improvements, we naturally wish to know why
that demand. The answer is very probably found in the
words of a prominent citizen who recently said: "Many
years ago Augusta was a sleepy town inhabited by mos
quitos and moss backs, and it is very probable the moss
backs would have been asleep instead of sleepy, but for
the industry of the mosquitos; the moss backs ‘kept
store’ and played checkers depending upon the farmers
to to work and produce cotton, etc., to exchange for
their dusty goods.
"As years rolled on, however, the natural advantages
Augusta has always possessed came to her rescue and in

John W. Dickey
spite of her moss back citizens began to develop a city of
factories, beautiful hotels, residences, etc.
"As more years rolled on the moss backs became
very scarce and their place was taken by live wide-awake
men, and today we have one of the most popular winter
resorts in the country, the most beautiful and healthful
city in Georgia, and with the large amount of hydro
electric power developed will soon be a truly great manu
facturing city. Augusta's need now is more offices, ho
tels, houses, etc., to take care of the people who want to
come here.”
The above statements are true, Augusta has developed
a great deal already, but up to the present time she has
been handicapped in various ways: Lack of offices, hotels,
power, fear of freshets, etc., but all these troubles have
been removed and a big development is above the hori
zon, but far from its zenith The material development
that has already came and greater development that is
plainly in sight more than justifies the demand for the im
provements now going on.
Some may not realize it, but this is a new and ab
solutely different era in Augusta's history; to those who
have the intelligence to grasp this fact there are rich
fields to be sown from which an abundant harvest will
be reaped.
