McKeand Says Augusta's M.
& M. is in Splendid Shape
Organizer, Before Leaving For Knoxville, Says Augusta Has
Now Caught the Augusta Spirit—Pays High Tribute to
Capt. P. H. Rice.
Mr. A. W. McKeand, organizer of
commercial bodies and boards of trade,
who was brought to Augusta at the
first of the year to re-organize and
combine the Merchants and Manufac
turers Association and the Chamber ol
Commerce, left the city yesterday af
ternoon for his home in Atlanta, wb%re
he is spending today.
Tomorrow morning he will be on
the Job bright and early In Knoxville,
Tenn., where he has been engaged to
organize a board of commerce.
Now that he has started the wheels
of progress in Augusta's new civic or
ganization aturning and has seen that
it Is on a firm, substantial base, Mr.
McKeand, when seen yesterday stated
that before departing he wished to say
only a word or two about the city and
its people and especially Captain P. H.
Rice, president of the M. & M.
"I believe Augusta has really caught
the Augusta spirit.” stated Mr. Mc-
Keand. "and has caught it through
the Merchants and Manufacturers As
socatlon.
“Your Merchants and Manufactur
ers Association," continued the organ
izer, in speaking with The Herald's
representative, "is, I helieve, the best
equipped in this part of the county.
It is the best equipped, first, in point
of capital, Its money being signed up
for three years; second, in active
membership; third, in the efficiency
of its officials, and, fourth, in the
plan under which it is now working
and the program of work outlined.
These certainly cover the principal
points and I wish to stress them.
"I consider Captain Rice absolutely
the most patriotic of men I have met
in many years, for the very reason
that instead of shirking work he hunts
Plan For Hardwick To Open
Senate Campaign in Augusta
Augusta Friends of the Congressman Believe That it Will Be
Splendid Arrangement. Some Time in May First Gun Will
Be Fired—Speech in Augusta to Start Off.
Augusta friends of Congressman
Thomas W. Hardwick are quietly plan
ning for him to open his campaign for
the senate in Augusta probably some
time in May. Mr. Hardwick has issued
a denial to the statement that he is
to make the first speech of his cam
paign in Savannah, although he will
make a non-political address there dur
ing the next few weeks.
It is considered fitting that the con
gressman from the tenth should begin
in his home district the campaign
which he expects to land him in the
senate of the United States and Au
gusta is, of course, the logical place
for the campaign to start.
At End First Day's Work Augusta
Stands Fifth in the Big Y. M. C. A.
Inter-City Membership Campaign
Mobile Leads With 1,060 Points to Her Credit; Greenville
Second With 500; Augusta Has 250—Plan of Scoring This
Year Gives Cities With Little Population Equal Chance.
THE STANDING.
Following is the standing in
the Y. M. C. A| inter-city member
ship contest, which began Sat
urday morning, as reported by
wire early last night:
Mobiie 1,060
Greenville 500
Greensboro 455
Columbia 302
AUGUSTA 250
Sumter 240
Charleston 234
Charlotte 100
Savannah 150
Wilmington 102
Winston-Salem
This year, in order to equalize
things, handicaps were placed on the
basis of white male population. This
is a great adnvantage over last year,
when all the cities went in on an
even basis. The Federal Census of
1910 is used with the following re
sult; Greensboro with a white male
papulation of 4,876; Greenville, S. C.,
with 4,532, and Sumter, with 1,958,
start at the scratch. Wilmington,
with 6,788, Winston-Salem, with 6,781,
and Danville with 6,152 are handicap
ped 200 points each. Columbia with
7 M9B is handicapped 300 points;
Charlotte with 11.071, and Augusta
with 11,033 are handicapped 700 points
each- Mobile on the basis of 13,950,
and Charleston with 13,607 are handi
capped 900 points each; Savannah
with a white male population of
15,833 is handicapped 1,100 points.
In all these cities there are practical
ly new and modern buildings, with
plenty of room for a large increase in
membership, except in Augusta,
where the plant is already crowded.
Thii* will prove a real handicap to the
Augusta boys.
Local Growth in Two Years.
Within the past two years the mem
bership of the Augusta association
has grown from' a little more than
300 to 900, and all available space in
the building has been brought into
use. The total attendance at the
building last year for privileges of
all kinds ran something more than
86,000. The daily attendance for
baths alone often exceeds 300.
The two local teams are working
hard for the honors, and are led by
Mr Will Love and Dr W. E. Clark.
They have Tor the past two weeks
been bard at work organizing their
teams and getting everything in readl
ness for the fray. Today finds them
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
it down. He Is going to give one
hour of bis time every day to the work
.—lay aside his duties at his office aiyl
dome up to the rooms of the associ
ation and meet the secretary at 10:30
a. m., every day. That's the kind of
a president to have.
"With the power you now hap
available you should get more new In
dustries; your climate will bring you
all the winter tourists you can han
dle; with your agricultural advantages
you should attract more first class
white people to settle in your vicinity.
You have plenty of advantages and
an organization through which they
mav be used to profit.”
In speaking of the system now in
operation in the M. & M„ Mr. McKeand
said that there Is not the sltghtesi
chance of any money going wrong as
there are three checks on all money
going out and three checks on all
money coming in. The office system
is perfect. The very best method of
filing is employer), and in fact every
thing is run on a thoroughly scientific
basis. Under the present plan every
meeting held must do something. A
Conmlete record is kept of the pro
ceedings of all meetings, and there is
no sitting around, killing time and
finally postponing matters of busi
ness.
It will be Interesting to know that
every single recommendation of Mr.
McKeand was adopted by the M. &
M„ and fro mthe way It looks now
he has made a big success out of the
job he undertook over two months ago.
One of the last remarks of Mr. Mc-
Keand before leaving the city was tha ’
he had found the people he had come
in contact with progressive, sociable,
still businesslike and as good a lot
of men ns he had seen anywhere.
In the event Mr. Hardwick does de
cide to come here to make the first
speech ol the campaign there will, in
ull probability, be a great crowd ot
people on hand to hear him. Not only
from Augusta but from many coun
ties around there will be people to
come.
It is believed that Mr. Hardwick will
carry his own congressional district
by a large majority and his chances
for winning the senatorial fight ap _
pear extremely bright.
The primary will be held in August,
so it is thought that the campaign will
hardly open up in good shape until
some time in May.
well pitted against each other, and j
each has a good healthy respect for |
the other.
Boys’ Division.
In the Boys’ Division, Mr. Halford i
will lead the forces, and he is re- ]
sponsible for the statement that they j
are going to make some of these lar- i
ger cities hustle for the honors in
boys’ membership. The boys’ mem
bership has been divided into two
groups, the Yellow and Blue, the same
division that was used all during the
winter in Gymnastic sports, and there
will be some keen rivalry.
Every night at 9 o’clock the daily
score will be posted o nthe big score
hoard at. the corner of Eighth and
Broad Streets, and will no doubt be
watched with greai interest by the
members and friends of the associa
tion.
THE 6 O’CLOCK VESPERS
WILL BE DISCONTINUED
During the revival meeting at the
Greene Street Presbyterian church the
vesper services which the churclj, has
been holding at 6 o’clock will be dis
continued and instead on Sundays as
well as the week days the evening ser
vices will he held at 8 o'clock. Rev.
D. H. Coman, an evangelist of large
experience and successful career, >s
with Greene Street church. The pas
tor, Rev, M. M. MacFerrin, Is inviting
the general public as well as the con
gregation to attend these meetings
with the hope that great good will
result. The meeting this evening at 8
o’clock will begin with a song service
alter which the evangelist will preach.
