jjOME EDITION VOLUME XIX. No. 88. 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.
