Speech Delivered By Mayor of
Baltimore in Augusta Today
Hon. Jas. H. Preston, mayor of the
city of Baltimore, and president of the
“Star Spangled Banner” Centenial Com.
mission, spoke at a meeting of Augusta
business men here today, in part, as fol
lows:
“As the mayor of Baltimore, and on
behalf of all the people of Baltimore, as
well as of the city government, I am her©
to extend to you a cordiul invitation to
visit on the occasion of the Star Spangled
Banner Celebration to be, held during the
week of September 6th to September
13th of this year.
r“The celebration will commemorate
the one hundredth anniversary’ of the
Battle of North Point, the bombardment
of Fort McHenry and the birthday of
our national anthem. 'The Star Spangled
Banner.* Every patriotic American will
want to come and stand upon the his
toric ground where the blood of Am
erican patriots was offered upon the
shrine of liberty for the preservation of
American Independence; you will want to
see the old North Point battlefield and
Fort McHenry, cherished as holy ground
in the hearts of all true Americans; you
will want to see the place on the old
North Point road where 1,700 raw vol
unteers. under General Strieker, met and
checked the advance of 9.000 picked vet
erans of the season© * troops of brigand;
the place where two boys. Daniel Wells
and Henry C. McComas. climbed a tree
and. from that point of vantage at the
sacrifice of their own lives, shot the
British commander. General Ross, you
will be glad of the opportunity to visit
their graves and see the monument that
has been erected in their honor, and.
voursetf. P*y the tribute of a tear to
their heroism. Tour eves will be de
lighted to Took upon the "Pot from which
floated C s 'Star Spangled Banner* over
the ga’lw band under Col. Armlstead,
that defTded Fort MeHsnrv. and to
turn from that to look at the spot In
the Patapsoo river where Francis Scott
Key » temporary prisoner on board the
British ship 'Mlnden.' anxiously watched
the flag all day long on September 13th,
1314 and ftflfduHng the night that fol- -
low Ad/ by the light of
‘The rockets* red glare—the bombs '
bursting in air.”
And. ns »he morning broke and showed
him that
“Our flag was still there."
his emotions gave birth to the song
which begins with the question:
‘O sav can you see, bv the dawn's early
light.
What so proudly we halted at the twi
light's Ins gleaming
Whose broad stripe sand bright start,
through the perilous fight.
O’er the ramparts we watched were so
gallantly streaming?*
It’s good flour, such as Golden Harvest Flour.
You can always count on turning out the light
est, sweetest bread and the best and purest cake
when you use Golden Harvest Flour. It lias
stood every test.

ee\.
“Ai the star-spangled banner in tri
umph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home
of the brave.’
“You will delight to explore the
mounds and battlements of the old fort,
siuated high up on the bluffs forming
a beautiful peninsula, washed on the
north, east and south by the waters of
the broad Patapsco. You will take time
to visit the modest house, 60 Albemarle
street, still standing, where Mrs. Mary
Pickersgill made the flag that floated
over Fort McHenry during the bombard
ment. You will take pleasure In having
your memory refreshed by hearing the
story’ told over again of the gallant de
fense of Baltimore by land and the
equallyy gallant defense of the Fort
made on September 12th and 13th, 1814,
where by the American volunteer end
ed the war of 1812 and led to the treaty
of France of December 21th. 1814. by
which American independence was final
ly secured.
“During all the years that have pass
ed since that memorable time, the peo
ple of Maryland have paid their tribute
to those who (some by the sacrifice, and
all at the risk, of their lives) fought
hrave’y for country and liberty, and pre
served to us and to all future genera
tions the blessings of freedom in a free
land. We have made the anniversary
of the Battle of North Point a holiday,
and as long as a survivor of that battle
lived they were the guests of the city
at each recurring anniversary, and
proudly thev wer«* driven through the
streets of the city and honored by the
attention and applause of the people
But a century’ has passed, and Time
with his relentless sevthe. has mowed
down the last of that brave hand. The
o’d defenders- -those who fell in the bat
tle and those who survived now sleep
alike In the bosom of the soil they risk
ed their lives to defend. an<l their chil
dren and their children's children enjov
the blessings of liberty preserved by
their gallant deeds. For them-*-
'The muffled Drum's sad roll has heat
The so’dler’s last tattoo:
No more on Life’s parade shall meet
The brave and fallen ft«
On Fame’s eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
But glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.*
“Thus has Maryland, at each recurring
anniversary, honored the heroes of that
struggle, but now we arc approaching
the one hundredth anniversary and we
arc Inviting all the people of the coun
try to loin us in a centennial celebration
—and llbcrtv-loving Americans every
where will want to do so. The chief

DIVIDEND FOD
DEPOSITORS OF
THE CITIZENS
Not a New Dividend, But Re
ceiver Crane to Pay Re
mainder of 20 Per Cent.
Dividend Declared Last July
Amounting to $2,564.53.
Hopes For a Second Sub
stantial Dividend.
Jud(fp Henry C. Hammond haH »lKn
ed an order directing Mr. Bryson
Crane, receiver of the Citizens Trust
Company, to pay the remaining por
tion of the dividend of 20 per cent,
which was declared last July, to those*
depositors who did not receive their

a large number of depositors, the ma
jority of whose deposits, however, were
small, who wer not paid last year and
the amount to be distributed is $2,-

..U Crane wishes it to be distinctly
understood that this is no new divi
dend, but merely the payment df the
remainder of the 20 per cent dividend
declared when J. P. Armstrong was
receiver o fthe Citizens. Hlnce Mr.
Crune’s appointment last December he
has collected $7,597.83.
He says that there are still some
collectable assets from which he ex
pects to real' a considerable addl- i
tional dividend. Also the surety com
pany which was on the bond of J. P.
Armstrong is expected to be forced to
pay more than *16,000 which Arm
strong ha i collected and which should
have been“,n hand when the new re
ceiver was named.
If this money is collected and the 1
remaining assets realised on in a sat
isfactory manner, there will be a sec
ond dividend of considerable amount
to be paid. j

Complete Hospital Equipment
Installed At Camp Wheeler
Is in Charge of Captain A. O. Fort, For Many Years Connect
ed With the State Board of Health—Also Four Other Com
missioned Officers and 31 Men Are on Duty.
It would be difficult to find a more
complete hospital equipment than
that provided at the local maneuver
camp. The service is divided Into two
sections, the regimental dispensaries
and the field hospital. In the event of
a trooper or an infantryman becoming
ill or being the victim of an accident
reports to his dispensary where the
I where the officials In charge, compe
-1 tent medical mien, make a thorough
examination and decide what disposi
tion to make of the case.
Method of Procedure.
| If—and it has been whispered that
such a thing occurs every decade or so
—some guardsman is afflicted with
'trouble In the morning on account of
'too ardent gazing at the sights the
1 night before and therefore prays to
be relieved from the necessity of en
during the glare of the morning sun,
he is kindly but firmly ordered to re
port 'hack to his tent and be prepared
to answer to his name when the first
sergeant calls the roll. On the other
hand, if medical attention Is really
needed, the patient is sent to the field
hospital. In accidents of such nature
j that there is no doubt attention Is
j needed, the Injured one is taken di
rectly to the field hospital.
Prominent Mediosl Men in Charge.

two months ago and this is the first
time It has ever been In camp. Hither
to the Guardsmen have been without
adequate hospital facilities during the
encampment, hence the organization
of this department Is filling a long felt
need.
Equipment Unexcelled.
Despite the fact that the department
is comparatively new, it is equipped
with every modern convenience pos
sible to a modern hospital. There are
accommodations for one hundred and
eight patients and It Is beyond the
bounds of probability that the service
will be taxed to Its full capacity. The
officers are highly educated men who
are thoroughly trained In the art of
rendering proper care to the ill and In
jured.
The Strongest Feature of All.
An especially strong feature In con
nection with the establishment of this
hospital corps Is that. It Is subject to
the orders of the authoritltles Just as
Guards. To show how this would
work for the publieweal, let us sup
pose that we didn't have a levee to
protect us and that some day the Ha
vannah would sweep down us, render
ing thousands homeless and bringing
about conditions of the most unsani
tary nature The catastrophe would
be so overwhelming that the local
health authorities could not properly
handle It. In such case they would
call on the governor to order the hos
pital corps here, which would mean
that the situation could he much more
quickly relieved. The same would
apply in the case of a great fire, as
the recent Halem fire, or any other
great calamity which would call for
outside aid of this nature.
The headquarters of this organiza
tion are In Atlanta. It Is kept In such
condition that a call cen he responded
to Immediately upon the issuance of
the order
Good Health of Camp,
Except for one or two minor injur
ies, the hospital has had only two
cases so far and In both cases the men
were only slightly Indisposed. Con
sidering the large number of men In
camp this Is a most remarkable re
cord and Is taken to indicate that the
authorities chose a most healthful lo
cation when they selected Aumond for
the encampment site.
