New Owners of Gas Light Company
Spending Over $40,000 Here
Making Additions and Changes—Mr. M. D. Schindler Resigns
As Manager—Mr. J. J. Humphreys New General Manager
and Mr. Isaac McGraw New Business Manager.
Mr. M. D. Schindler, manager of the
Gas Light Company of“ Augusta, has
tendered his resignation'to take ef
fect June Ist. The company has re
cently been re-organized, following its
purchase by the Southern Gas and
Electric Corporation of Baltimore,
large operators of gas companies
throughout the South, and Mr ,1 J
Humphrey, former general manager
of the Gas Company of Louisvihe,
Ky., has been sent to Augusta to act
as general manager, and it is also
announced that Mr. Isaac McGraw
is to be the new business manager.
Mr. Humphreys is an expert operator
of gas companies, having had wide
experience, and it is not known just
how long he will remain here since
his services are in strong demand.
He is the re-organizer and rehabili
tttor, *o to speak, of every new prop
erty which the Southern Gas and
Electric Corporation purchases. Mr.
McGraw is also a very experienced
gas man.
Mr. Schindler’s probable departure
from Augusta, following his resigna
tion as manager of the Gas Company,
will be received with great regret by
his many friends here.
During Mr. Schindler’s administra
tion of the affairs of the company,
the service lias been brought to a
high degree of efficiency and he has
secured /or the company the general
good will of the public.
The new owners of the Gas Light
Company of Augusta have spent over
$20,000 since they acquired the prop
erty, principally in making extensions
of mains, putting in additional me
ters, renovating the Broad Street of
fice, etc. More than $2,000 has been
expended on the Broad Street office
alone, ami when the work is complet
ed it will be one of the most attrac
tive offices of its kind in the South.
Get Business by Giving Service.
"We have been proceeding very
quietly,” said Mr. Humphreys today,
“aiid during the past two months
have lud a wonderful increase in
business. However, we know that in
order to get business and keep it we
must give service. This we expect,
to give and all calls for repairs of
leaks, repairing meters and putting
in new service will be answered
promptly.
“We expect to extend the gas ser
vice into the homes of the working
people of the city for we know that
the mechanic, machinist and other
working men who have to get to work
by G or 7 o’clock a. m.. want their
breagfast quick and there is no time
to cook it on a wood stove unless the
wife gets up for 4 a. m. We take
the position that the working man is
entitled to service and we have con
fidence in his ability and intentions
to makc«3 a satisfactory customer.
“A little later on we expect to
bring Miss Caring, an expert dieti
cian. her* to give demonstrations of
cooking the Indies of Augusta and
we are going to show them what can
be accomplished with the gas stove.
BACK IN CITY FROM
CHILD WELFARE MEET
i
Supt. Jenner, of Georgia
Children’s Home Society,
Talks on Trip He’s Just
Taken.
After an absence from the city of
ten days, Superintendent Jenner. of
the Georgia Children's Home Society,
has returned. Mr. Jenner was attend
ing the national conference of the
Children’s Home Society, which was
held at St. Douls, Mo. He reports a
good convention in every particular.
The attendance w; s especially large
as there was represented almost ev
ery state in the Union. Several of
the states had present all the state
officials from the president of the
society down to the different super
intendents. Many important ques
tions concerning child welfare came
up before the conference for discus
sion.
Mr. Jenner says that the thinking
nun and women of today are turning
their attention to the child as never
before. It is indeed gratifying to
know how many public-spirited men
and women there are today who are
giving their lime, their talents and
their money to the welfare of the
child, who soon is to be a man or
woman.
"We are learning," says Mr. Jenner,
"that in these growing boys and girls
is to he found the key to all crime,
poverty, etc. It Is no longer the ques
tion, what shall we do TO the child
that has gone wrong, but what shad
we do FOB it."
.From St. I anils Mr. Jenner went to
Memphis, Tenn., where he spent sev
eral days in attendance on the Na
tional Conference of Charities and
Corrections. There were gathered in
this convention about 1,800 social
workers of every department, corning
from every state In the United States,
also 2 from Canada. A great gathering
it was, for the uplift of the humau
race.
Mr. Jonner may be found at the
county court house, commissioners'
room, and would be glad to see any
one interested in the welfare of the
child. He will also appreciate any
information In regard to any child In
need of attention. He also has seve
ral children for placement In good
homes. If you care for one of these
nice little boys or girls just let him
know A. 3 he will be glad to get in
touch with you. His only support
comes from the public. If you are
Interested send him your check. Mr.
Jenner will be glad to call on anyone
interested In the welfare of the child
and explain the work In full.

SAYS SOLPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM IDE. SKIN
Use like cold cream to instant
ly stop itching and clear
the skin.
Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol
ogist, just common bold-sulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe and
heal the skin when irritated and
broken out with Eczema or any form
of eruption. The moment it is ap
plied all itching ceases and after two
or three applications the Eczema dis
appears, leaving the skin clear and
smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce of
bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the
irritated parts the same as you would
any cold cream.
For many years common bold-sul
phur has occupied a secure position in
the practice of dermatology and cuta
neous affections by reason of its par
asite-destroying property. It is not
only parasiticidal, but also antipruritic
antiseptic and remarkably healing in
all irritable and inflammatory condi
tions of the skin. While not always
affecting a permanent cure it never
fails to instantly subdue the angry
itching and irritation and heal the
Eczema right up and it is often years
later before any eruption again ap
pears on the skin.

Hill. Intendant Wall Says
That the People Want It.

considering digging an artesian well
on the top of the hill, near Dr. Meal
ing’s place.

the people of the town want artesian

done.”—Detroit Free Press.
