Monthly Meeting of Woman’s Club
The regular monthly meeting of the
Augusta Woman's Club was called to
order Friday afternoon by the presi
dent, Mrs. W. N. Benton. This was,
perhaps one of the most enthusiastic
meetings of the year. Reports from
the different departments were given,
showing the work they are doing
These reports were very complete,
especially so were those of the civic
and public health departments, which
are so interesting in their united ef
forts for the better sanitary condi
tions of the city. In fact, each mem
ber ot the club, and we may say the
women of Augusta in general, are
heartily in co-operatiou with mis
work and each one is trying to vie
with her neighbor in cleaning up.
Those in charge of calling on the peo
ple this week will receive a hearty
welcome. These ladies are not lot
inspectors but will simply call, at
the first door and leave their card.
’Tis most encouraging to see the in
terest with which the colored people
are co-operating in this work and the
heads of the different colored organ
izations have assured us that they,
too. are working to render all assist
ance possible and if the housewives
will give their employes a half holiday
during tliis week our efforts will not
have been fruitless, and on Easter
we’ll have the satisfaction of know
ing that some good has been done for
others and we’ll all hall Clean Au
g"SA Short Talk by Major Butler.
The Conservation Department ot
the Woman's Club are to be
lated on their instructive and inter
esting program Friday afternoon,
when the cluh members in generai,
and their guests, were entertained by
a few films on the butterfly and bird
life followed by an informal talk by
Major Butler on bird life, its speciali
zation and conservation.
How few of us know tha„ there are
ten thousand ’ arieties of butterlies
and that there are about eight hun
dred varieties of birds in our locality.
Major Butler’s talk was very in
structive and listened to with the
most intense interest by large
number present. There was a leas
in it for all, cut especially one that
the mother of the small boy could
take home with her.
Public Health Repsrt. .
Mrs Greenville Talbott as eh 3 - I * - "
man of the Public Health Department
submitted the following fine report:
Evervthing now is clean-up, and
since our last meeting we have made
an Investigation of the unsanitary
outskirts of Augusta. A committee
from the department with the chair
men made a survey of these parts,
where there was no sewerage. The
committee were Mrs. T. E. Oertel,
Mrs. J. Wilie Levy, Mrs. W. N. Ben
ton Mrs. A. H. Brenner. Mrs. E. B.
Baxter and chairman. After exact
localities oT these places were report
ed to the chairman she in turn made
a report to the board of health and
asked so“ the chaingang during the
“clean-up” week so that come mem
ber of the committee from the depart
ment could be present while the work
■was being done. The mud hole re
ported by Mrs T. E. Oertel on Cot
tage Street, has been looked into by
the board of health at their last meet
ing. and they have recommended to
couneil that nrompt action he taken
to eliminate this nuisance. They re
ported as emergency work, and urge
that council consider it as such.
For some time the department has
been working to have a trash dump
removed in Summerville that has
been reported as a nuisance by num
bers of citizens. This dump is within
the city limits, which is a violation of
the city ordinance. Miss Emma Do
zier and the chairman visited this
dump pile and found it quite as much
of a nuisance as had been reported.
Miss Laura Benet of this department,
was then appointed as a committee
of one to interview Mr. Wingfield on
the subject. She asked to have the
dump removed or to be disposed of in
some way. At our last committee
meeting Miss Benet reports that Mr.
Wingfield intends to have an inciner
ating plant in operation not later
thon the middle of April o rthe first
of Mav. to dispose o Tthls menace.
In regard to dodgers, for the ’ clean
up" week, the one that has been
printed for the Woman’s Club were
distributed, as was requested by the
health department In every store and
house on Broad Street. About 600
were used in this manner. The agents
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company distributed 2.000 or more
dodders, not only among tho P°'l c y
holders, but they have reported that
they went from house to house ana
are most interested and are doing this
work most cheerfully.
Everywhere can be seen trash of
all descriptions sorted into the
streets for removal. Everybody
seems to be "cleanink-up” and we
hope by Tuesday we have met with
the hearty co-operation of everybody
who has been asked to assist us. Mr.
Koch, of the Bonita and Modjeska,
when asked by one of our voluntary
workers. Miss Julia Moore, for sev
eral days used the entire dodgers on
the canvas at his two picture shows,
thus putting the fact that the city
was to be cleaned the first ten days
in April before every patron of the
picture shows Mr Spofofrd. of the
Augusta-Aiken Com: any, cheerfully
ron.-ent“d to allow the dodgers to he
used in the street cars. He asked to

have them sent to the car barn and
Trom there they were distributed over
the different ear lines, commencing
Monday last. The tags proved a pop
ular method of advertising and there
was very little difficulty in getting
them circulated and worn.
The chairman had a meeting of her
lieutenants this morning and the map
was thoroughly gone over so that
each lieutenat would know the exact
locality that she Is to work in on
Tuesday next. We feel that we will
have very little trouble in carrying
out the work as it uas been planned.
