County Officers Terms of Four Years ?
Shall County Treasurer Be Abolished ?
Constitutional Amendments to Be Voted on in the Election to
Be Held November Third---Voters Will Also Pass on For
mation of Four More Counties.
At the regular state election Novem
ber 3, the voters of Augusta. Rich
mond county and Georgia will be given
an opportunity to pass on ten consti
tutional amendments adopted by the

provide for the creation of new coun
ties. There are now 148 counties and
if these four constitutional amend
ments are ratified there will be 152.
The state constitution now fixes the
number of counties at 148 so that a
special amendment is necessary to add
sny new counties This amendment is
separate and distinct from the amend
ment creating the counties It also
Increases the number of legislators.
The proposed new counties are:
Bacon with Alma as the county site,
to he composed of territory from Ap
pling, Pierce and Ware, and to be in
the eleventh congressional district and
the Waycross circuit.

site, to be composed of territory from

LINE DEPOT
City Engineer Wingfield States
That No Funds Are Available
at Present and City’s Work is
Delayed.
For a long time the public, and more
particularly certain merchants, have
been inquiring when the barge line,
more properly termed the Augusta-
Savannah Navigation Company .will
begin business and also when the ter
minals at the present city wharf will
be completed.
It was announced some time ago that
the two splendid steel barges would be
ready for business early in December,
some delays in construction having
been encountered.
The work on the barges is now
progressing rapidly and there is lit
tle doubt that one, at least, of them
will be ready by the time mentioned.
Work on the terminals was started
some time ago, but was stopped short
ly after the beginning of the war, the
city not having the money, it is said,
with which to carry it on.
Mr. Nlsbet Wingfield, city engineer,
who supervises such work for the city,
states that at present the city of Au
gusta has no funds available, but that

Won’t Stop Business.
Mr. R E. Anderson, general mana
ger of the Augusta-Savannah Naviga
tion Company, stated today that while
the i process of loading and unloading
at the present city wharf will be ham
pered somewhat, it will not prevent the
carrying on of business, although the
working conditiones will not be alto
gether favorable.
As soon as the concrete floored
wharf and warehouse are finished, the
company will have probably the finest
river line terminal in Augusta that can
be found anywhere in the country.
The facilities for handling freight to
and from the boats will then be of the
most modern type.

Big Season is Expected By All
of the Tourist Hotels. Bon
Air to Open About Dec. Ist.
The Partridge Inn will ojjen on Mon
day next. It will not be running in
full blast but will be open for the re
ception of guests and quite a number
will be here for the opening. It is ex
pected that the Bon Air will open about
the first of December.
The Partridge Inn becomes increas
ingly popular each year and from a
small beginning Mr. and Mrs. Part
ridge have made the hostelry one of
the most highly desirable tourist ho
tels in the South. It has been enlarged
from time to time until it has room
for a large number of guests each
season and it is generally filled up
throughout the greater portion of each
season.
Mrs. Partridge stated Thursday that
they were expecting a splendid season
and It is believed that every tourist
hotel in Augusta and this section wiil
do a big business. The fact that Am
ericans will not be able to go to Eu
rope this winter on account of the dis
turbed conditions over there will cause
many more to come South than usual.

have brought back many new ideas and
suggestions for tbs guidance of the
young Rotary Club of Augusta.
Acme Play Tomorrow, “The Dollar Mark,”
Produced By Wm. A. Brady, Wiil Prove
to Be One ol Season’s Best Plays
The Grand will have as Its attrac
tion tomorrow, an Acme play. The
play to bo offered will be Mr. Wm. A.
Brady’s ' splendid photo-play produc
tion of his successful dramatic produc
tion. "The Dollar Mark."
Mr. Brady is presenting this play
with the same all-star cast as was
seen with "The Man of the Hour," an
Acme play which was given at the
Grand last week.
Mr. Robert Warwick, who appeared
as the star in "The Man of the Hour,”
and who scored such a marked hit In
this Acme play presentation, will also
he the star in "The Dollar Mark."
"The Dollar Mark" will prove to be
the dramatic treat of the Acme piny
season. The box-office is now open
for reservation of seats for the night
performance.
The Acme plays for next week will
he as follows: Monday, November 2nd,
Mr. Wm. A. Brady will present "Moth
er" with Miss Emma Dunn in the lead
ing role. Miss Dunn created the part
in the dramatic speaking production
Mammoth Orders Coming in and the
Construction Work South Booming
'Columbus. Ga.--The Industrial Index
says in Its issue for this week:
“qf they just must fight, let them
go ahead. the r ople in this country
will furnish them with supplies and
take their cash.’
"This Idea thus expressed by a mem
ber of a Southeastern firm, has taken
form and Is crystulizlng in the minds of
business men In this section and
throughout the country. Despite the fact
that it Is closely related to the horrors
of a great war, there Is a grim humor
about it. The war in Europe practical
ly paralysed business In tilts country for
a time, and now the countries which
are engaged In that war are to much
more than make up the shortage In tlio
volume of our business that they caused.
"They are beginning to do it. tine
city alone, Chicago, has sent an average
of $15,000,000 worth of goods a week to
Europe since the war began. Mammoth
orders are beginning to oome now from
Europe to numerous cities and sections I
of this country—a d not a few of tnem
are for cotton goods.
“People in this country are beginning
to realize that It is a fact that the war
in Europe will bring to us a greater
measure of prosperity than we have
ever enjoyed. , More, they have material
evidence that the foundation of that
prosperity is now being constructed or
orders from Europe.
“There is more cheerfulness, more of
confidence—and more of collections, than
which there could be no better evidenoe.
“Business In our section Is pro
ceeding along steady lines. The num
ber of commercial failures is smaller
perhaps than usual, manufacturing es
tablishments are being operated, wlih
few exceptions, and banks are supplying
their patrons with money needed for
operations. The mone- stringency is
passing. Conditions are Improving con
tinually. ,
"BRINGING UP FATHER.’’
"Bringing Up Father," from the caf
toons of George McManus, was design
ed for laughing purposes only. There
isn’t a serious thought, situation on
line in the play. It’s purpose is to
drive away dull care in order to make
room for sunshine in the lives of thea
tregoers who have quite a sufficiency
of the more serious and vital prob
lems of life to deal with as an occu
pation. Just as the bright sunshine
soon causes you to forget the recent
thunder clouds and rain, so does
"Bringing Up Father" make you forget
your troubles and begin a new day
with lighter heart. "Father, Mother
and the entire JLggs Family" will visit
the Grand this evening, therefore pre
pare to laugh as you've never laughed
before. Mr. Hill has made a lavish
production, consisting of a carload of
scenery with elaborate electrical and
mechanical embellishment. A com
pany o< singers, dancers and come
dians, about whose ability there Is no
doubt, will also appear.
BLACK PATTI.
Of exceptional interest will be the
early appearance at an early date of
the Black Patti Musical Comedy Co.,
said to be the best colored organization
in the world. This organization is and
has been under the direction of R.
Voelckel the past eighteen years, and
is headed by the world's famous so
prano singer, Mme. Sissierettta Jones,
the original Black Patti and Harrison
Stewart, the co-star and comedian.
The musical play selected for this
season’s entertainment, is new and
novel and entitled "Lucky Saim From
Alaban/’ with numerous musical hits
including “Watch Tour Stop,” "If For
tune Smiles on Me," ‘Tve Changed My
Mind," "All Your Igive,” “Lucky Sam's
Birthday,” "Pleading Eyes.” “Could
You Hate Somebody,” "If You Want
Me for Your Girl,” “Jolly Boot Blacks,”
"Bringing Up Father," at the Grand Thi« Evening.
