Splendid Meeting of Woman’s Club
The Augusta Woman's Club met
Friday afternoon at their hall In re
sponse to a call from tne president to
discuss plans for Clean-Up Week In
April. The U. D. C. Hall, where the
club meets was filled at 4 o'clock,
when the meeting was called to order
by the president. The first speaker
was Dr. T. E. Oertel, who came as a
representative of the Merchants and
Manufacturers' Association, as he Is
a member of the Public Health De
partment of that association. Dr
Oertel spoke of the well known fact
that Augusta Is a very dirty city and
one that might well need and he bene
fited by a week's effort at cleaning.
He spoke of the different plans for tne
best method of cleaning the city es
pecially of the request that had been
made to Mr. Lawton B. Evans, super
intendent of the public schools, of the
city, to give the children one day s
holiday in order that they might co
operate with their parents in cleaning
the homes. Mr. Evans had not
thought best to grant this request as
he believed many of the parents
would be unwilling Tor the children
to have a day from school. But he
has arranged a plan that would inter
est the school children and insure
their co-operation The teachers are
to talk to their classes about this
and tell them how they can obtolu
certain credits in exchange for doing
what they can towards the general
clean up. Dr. oertel explained that
Mr. Evans was in thorough sympa
thy with the desire of the Womans
Club to get the children Interested,
but thought this plan would bo better
than a holiday. Dr. Oertel also talk
ed of the terrible hovels, the eye
sores that disfigure the principal
streets of the city and of the improve
ment that would result front an ef
fort to abolish them He is thorough
ly in sympathy with the Womans
Club and answered for the co-opera
tion of their department in the Mer
chants and Manufacturers’ Associa
tion. He also told of the plan of Dr.
Hinton Baker, who is chairman of this
department, in the Merchants an
Manufacturers, to divide the city into
nine districts and have a captain and
lieutenant to cover each distrct one
dav durng the cleanup week who will
see that every house ..nd home Is
visited bv a member of their comm t
tee to enlist their co-operation.
At the conclusion of Dr. Oertel s
speech Dr. Eugene Murptiey. president
of the board of health, talked to tne
club, Dr. Murphey said In part that
no rftv is prosperous “ nlesa mpl „ h J!
healthv, so that even those members
of the community who think only
the almighty dollar could well. take
an Interest in any move lorGhe health
Uck% , asfiS£ tSs s.i«
hut that now a new day BMme4
tne and he was more than
w ith the interest and co-operation th
hoard of health was receiving by the
Woman s Club. The first tU* to
consider is "municipal sanim om
and then the removal of eye-sores
. thp C ( t v This can only be done
hv Dr. Baker's plan for
dividing the city into districts was
then mentioned, which insures; a. su
pervisor for every block, not lo make
the ladles lot inspectors but simply
to enlist the co-operation of the house
keepers ” Dr. Murphey then appealed
to the women to do what they could
to have every bit of useless rubbage
thrown out during this clean-up week
“everything from an iron stove to
a sardine can.” He defined as a nui
sance anything that could hold water
and therefore be a breeding si ot f
mosquitoes. The board of health in
vites information and complaints for
mosquitoes and files are not a visi
tation of providence, but tlie fault of
the board of health." The next prob
lem after the garbage removal Is the
house fly and the Doctor proceeded to
pav his despects to the people who
keep stable manure on their premises
which he said “seemed to have a
value above that of rubies, judging
bv the way many property owners re
fused to part with it,” but at least
they must be made to obey the oral
nance for screening such refuse. 'ln
dividual liberty must cease where in
dividual liberty inures others. For
merly all this work was left to the
hoard of health, but now they are re
ceiving the help of the Woman s Club,
the Merchants and Manufacturers’ As
sociation, the Civic Improvement As
sociation of the colored people, the
Salvation Armv and others. He spoke
of the help that school teachers should
give by their talks to the pupils and
instructing them in the duties of citi
zenship from their earliest years, Dr.
Murphev closed by thanking the club
in behalf of the board of health for
the interest they were taking in this
cleaning-up o fthe city.
Mrs Benton then invited Mr. Pil
cher of the Scavenger Department,
who was present to speak to the la
dies. Mr Pilcher assured the clnh
of his intention to assist them In
every wav and told them that If they
will only put out the trash and garb
age he will see that it is removed. Mr.
Pilcher was heartily applauded when
he said that he bated to see a garb
age can on the streets on Sunday and
that he wished the housekeepers of
th city would remember that all garb
age must be put out Saturday before
8 o’clock a. m.
Adjutant Yates was then requested
by the president to co-operate with
them' bv taking charge of a district
and said he would be glad to help
the club all he could. After som«
discussion oT plans the meeting ad
journed but the captains and their
lieutenants met previous to adjourn
ment to make their plans and get the
districts allotted to them. The fol
lowing are the captains and their lieu
