Charges Hospitals Being Operated to the Advantage
o! Certain Physicians to the Disadvantage ot Others
After Two Years of Service As Chairman of Hospital Com
mittee Councilman, Mr. T. W. Pilcher Makes Startling
Charges. Wants Money to be Handled Differently.
SAYS THE HOSPITALS’ AFFAIRS BEING RUN
WITHOUT ECONOMY AND WITHOUT SYSTEM
Mr. Pilcher Said Dr. W. D. Jennings, Police Surgeon Paid
By the City, Not Allowed to Practice in City Hospital.
Dr. Jennings Confirms Statements and Makes Sensation
al Charges Himself.
In a resolution introduced in coun- |
cil Monday night for the city coun
cil of Augusta to take charge of the
finances of the city hospitals, instead
of handing over to these hospitals a
lump sum of money each year to be
expended solely at the discretion of
those in charge, Chairman Thos. W.
Pilcher, of the hospital committee of
council, makes some grave charges
against those who control these in
stitutions. For instance, Mr. Pilcher
says that the physicians in charge are
lacking in system and in business
ability, and in consequence there has
been extravagance in expenditures.
Mr. Pilcher also says that the rules
and regulations governing the hos
pitals are such as to prove of advan
tage to certain physicians, some of
whom pay' absolutely no taxes into
the treasury of the city, and to the
disadvantage of other physicians,
some of whom pay large taxes.
The councilman from the Third,
who has been chairman of the special
hospital committee for two years, gave
it as his opinion that there should be
a change. He said that the city paid
a lump sum of $20,000 annually to the
faculty of the Medical Department of
the University of Georgia and $25,000
for conducting the hospitals and that
$500,000 had been expended in build
ing the New University Hospitals.
With such an enormous expenditure
of mosiey, Mr. Pilcher said, that coun
cil should have something to say about
how it was expended and his resolu
tion is to the effect that all monies
taken in by the hospitals should be
paid into the city treasury and that
all monies paid out should be on
vouchers from the collector’s and
treasurer’s office, as all other expen
ditures are made.
Practices Denounced.
Mr. Pilcher denounced in unmistak
able terms the alleged practices at the
hospitals, and said: ’’Why the city of
Augusta has a police surgeon employ
ed by the Civil Service Commission to
look after the members of the fire and
police departments and all accident
cases connected with these two de
partments and he isn’t even allowed
to practice in the city hospitals.” Mr.
Pilcher fairly shouted as he asked,
“Do you mean to say that this sort
of thing is right?”
"Why they bar him from practicing
in the hospitals 1 do not know, but It
is a fact that they do and I think it
is an outrage.”
Before Mr. Pilcher’s resolution was
voted on Mr. (’. Henry Cohen, city at
torney, was asked for an opinion as to
the rights of the hospital authorities
and medical faculty in the agreement
with the city entered into when the
orphan asylum site was secured. Mr.
Cohen said that he was familiar with
the agreement at the time but that it
had been a long while since he had
read it and he could not say anything
positive as to its provisions with re
ference to the money that the city is
to pay. Mayor Hayne stated, at this
stage of the proceedings, that about
the time the city entered into this
contract council was so enthused over
the idea of rehabilitating the medical
college and building the new hospitals
that It was liable to have entered into
an agreement for almost anything the
doctors wanted.
Mr. Pilcher said that he did not
think a contract which would allow
the city no voice In how the city's
money was being expended would be
legal and binding. The matter was
finally referred to the city attorney
for investigation and will be taken
up at the next meeting of council.
Dr. Jennings’ Statement.
Dr. W. D. Jennings, police surgeon,
was communicated with by The Her
ald Tuesday morning ar,d asked about
the statement of Mr. Pilcher that he
was not allowed to practice in either
of the city hospitals.
"That is true,” said Dr. Jennings,
Says Blind Tigers Prowl About City on
Sunday in Guise Grocery Merchants
Councilman T. W. Pilcher Makes Rather Sensational Charges.
However, His Ordinance to Close Up Soft Drink Establish-
ments, Etc., on Sunday Wa3 Killed.
Councilman Pilcher, of the third
ward, Introduced an ordinance In city
council Monday night providing for
stores of all kinds In Augusta, with
the exception of drug stores, to remain
closed on Sunday and that the drug
■tores not be allowed to sell anything
except drugs on prescriptions made
out by accredited physicians. Mr
Pilcher made an Impassioned speech
In favor of his ordinance. He stated
that on Sunday night, coming 1n the
city tliroug Ninth street, he counted
a large number of stores open. He
■tated that in these stores many times
there lurked blind tigers. The council
man from the third stated that mail
of these grocery and fruit stores whlcn
held soft drink licenses merely as a
pretext for opening on Sunday, had
runners who would go out with half
pints of whiskey, sell them and then
bring back flie money, receiving the'.'
commissions on the sale. Mr. Pilcher
said that It waa not right to dUcrimi
nnte, that If one gtore keeper had n
right to >pen on Sunday then all of
them had. He wm In favor of closing
everything except reataurantg and
drug atores. that the people who
wanted their "dope’’ on Sunday should
buy a case and carry It home, that
/those who wanted to smoke should
f buv their tobacco on Saturday night.
Mr. Pilcher said that the blind tiger*
which are conducted by the grocers

these men close promptly on Saturday

Sunday closing law' and yet when a

“but why I am barred I cannot say.
I only know that i am barred. Re
cently I sent a patient from police
barracks to Lamar Hospital with a
wound in the lungs, a very dangerous
one, and the patient was returned to
the barracks because I happened to
be the doctor. Of course, 1 do not
think I am being treated right.
“There are a great many other
things that could be told about the
way that hospital is being run that
would make Interesting reading.”
The statements of Mr. Pilcher, the
chairman of the hospital committee,
and of Dr. Jennings will no doubt pro
duce a sensation.
Here is the Pilcher resolution:
The Resolution.
Whereas, The City Council of Au
gusta has expended and contemplates
expending in the erection and equip
ment of the University Hospitals a
sum In round numbers amounting to
$500,000; and
Whereas, It has entered into con
tracts with the Medical Faculty of the
University of Georgia aggregating
$20,000 annually, which capitalized on
a basis of 5 per cent will amount to
$400,000; and
Whereas, It has entered into a con
tract to appropriate sums sufficient to
maintain said hospitals which, under
the present basis of maintaining hos
pitals in the City of Augusta amounts
to $25,000 annually, which capitalized
on a basis of 5 per cent will amount
to $500,000, making an aggregate in
terest which the City of Augusta has
in said hospitals and medical college
a million and a half dollars; and
Whereas, Under the system hereto
fore observed the City Council of Au
gusta has no control whatever over
the expenditure of money appropriat
ed for the purpose of maintaining said
hospital; and
Whereas, Past experience has dem
onstrated that the physicians in
charge of said hospital are lacking in
business ability and system, and in
consequence there has been a lack of
economy in the expenditure of appro
priations for that purpose; and
Whereas, The rules and regulations
governing the running of said hos
pital are such as to prove of advan
tage to certain physicians, some of
whom pay absolutely no taxes into the
treasury of the city of Augusta, and
to the disadvantage of other physi
cians, some of whom pay large taxes;
and
Whereas, The City Council of Au
gusta has no legal right without the
consent of the state legislature to del
egate the expenditure of money to
other than its authorized officers and
employes;
Paid Out of City Treasury.
Therefore Be It Resolved, That In
future the maintenance of said hos
pital shall be under officers and em
ployes selected by the City Council
of Augusta paid out of the treasury
of the City Council of Augusta, and
that all expenditures shall he made on
vouchers paid by the collector and
treasurer as all other expenditures
are made, and all purchases of sup
plies shall be either by contract or re
quisition, issuing from office of mayor
of the city of Augusta as all other ex
penditures are; that all Income de
rived from pay patients or otherwise
incident to the running of said hos
pital shall be turned over to the col
lector and treasurer of the City of
Augusta as are other funds of the City
of Augusta; and
All rules and regulations governing
said hospital shall be approved by the
City Council of Augusta, and It shall
be the duty of the hospital committee
of the City Council of Augusta and the
officers in charge of said hospital to
see that said rules and regulations are
properly enforced;
Resolved Further, That nothing
herein contained shall he construed as
Interfering with the medical and sur
gical control of said hospital.
loons suspicion is Immediately directed
to the saloon keeper and chances are
some Innocent looking grocery store i'l
causing the drunkenness.
Some members of council took issue
with Mr. Pilcher on the question of
the blind tigers In the city on Sunday
and, answering a question from
Councilman Allen, Mr. Pilcher askel
him If he knew what the police records
showed with regard to blind tiger
arrests on Sunday since the first of
January.. Mr. Allen said that he did
no. know and Mr. Pilcher retorted
that he ought to visit police barracks
and find out, Intimating that there
were a considerable number of gro
cery stores that sold whiskey on Sun
day ami had been apprehended.
While Mr. Pilcher's ordinance wal
killed by an overwhelming vote and
a resolution introduced by him a few
moments after to allow every store
of every sort in the city to keep wide
open all the time had also been killed,
still It was the sense of council that
the present laws with regard to clos
ing on Sunday be enforced by the Civil
Service Commission and a resolution
offered by Mr. Julian M. Smith, of
the fifth ward, to this effect was
unanimously carried. The ordinance
permits soft drink stands, drug stores,
cigar stores, fruit stands, news stands,
etc., to keep open on Sunday. Those
stores that have no right to keep open
will be closed.

for the construction of a concrete or

at the point where D’Antignac street
Intersects with Campbell street. The
crying need of a bridge at this point,

A very unique social feature called
a "Church Home Gathering” is sched

Baptist church. Every member of the
church is asked to be present. No col
lection or pledges are to be taken. A
delicious supper Is to be served and
good speakers are to tell the church
Just what the institution Ims accomp
lished during the past year. It is to
be a church "fvet-iogothfr” social, for
the membership to become better ac
quainted—to promote sociability and
good fellowship.
The First church has now one of the
best choirs in the South. Under the
skillful training of Mr. Young, w T ho is
an unusually artistic organist and di

SEVERAL VACANCIES

There are several vacancies in the
gymnasium class of the local Y. M. C.
A. that meets on Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings at 8:30 o’clock. The
physical director, Mr. William Boy
land, would be glad for young men
who are not attending the gymnasium
classes at present to make application
to him for entrance Into this class
It Is the desire of the aesoclatlon tc
build the attendance of this class up
to the standard maintained In the
other classes.
The membership of the Y. M. C. A
taking exercises in the gymnasium 1*
divided Into - number of classes. The
class known as the "6:15 clans” Is a
popular one and the attendance Is
good. The work In It is of more an
elementary nature.
In the 8:30 class, meeting Tuesday
and Thursday evenings, a good deal of
apparatus work Is done and the In
structions are more advanced. Games
are played as well, and there la no
reason why this class shouldn’t draw
an attendance as large, if not larger
than any of the others.

Progressive Ticket Getting But
Few Votes in Augusta.
Seems That Capt. Lamback
Will Win Easily Over Mr.
Walker.
Tuesday is the day for the county,
stale and national election. Through
out the United States congressmen,
senators and many other officers are
being chosen. In Georgia 12 con
gressmen ate being chosen, two Unit
ed States senators, all of the state
house officers, members of the gen
eral assembly, county officers, etc.
in Richmond county the only con
test is for county treasurer. Capt. Geo.
F. Lamback Is winning easily, appar
ently over Mr, B. F. Walker. The
polls will not close until six o’clock
but tlte election of Capt. Lamback
can be forecasted with accuracy.
There is no opposition for the other
county officers and would not have
been for treasurer had not Mr. Wal
ter E. Clark, the nominee, died.
There seems to ht- no Interest In the
constitutional amendments. The great
majority of the voters are disregard
ing them altogether in spite of the fu> t
that the greater portion of them are
important. For instance, it Is very
important as to whether the county
officers shall serve four years or two
and also whether or not the county
treasurer's office shall he abolished.
The so called Progressive ticket,
headed by Messrs. McClure and
Hutchens, la polling hut a few votes
in Augusta. A very light vote is being
polled in the city and county.

ACADEMY TRAINING HARD FOR GAME
WITH GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE
Every Man on Local Team Determined to Win This Game,
Which Will be Pulled Off Saturday, if Such is Possible—.
Defeating This Team Would Mean the Evening up of Old
Scores. Development of Cadet Machine is Remarkable,

Head Coach Wilson and Assistants
Learned and Danforth are straining
every effort to get the Academy eleven
In the best shape of the season for the
tussle with the strong Georgia Mili
tary College crow- next Saturday.
Every man on the Academy squad is
determined to win this game if It is
within the bounds of human endeavor.
It will be recalled that the previous
game between these two aggregations
was played under conditions adverse
to the locals at almost every turn.
Handicapped as they were, they held
the 160-pound collegians to four touch
downs two of these being on the most
flagrant of flukes.
Evening Up.
Defeating this team would mean the
evening up of every old score, except
ing the Riverside game, and It Is plain
ly apparent that the Gainesville hunch
is entirely out of the class to which
the local prep team belongs. In 1912
the Academy team lost only one game
—this to Athens High. The Athens
High eleven was defeated the same
year in the return game and, last year,
tvns defeated twice. In 1913, only two
teams bested the locals Savannah
High and Tenth district aggies. Those
stains have been blotted out this year
by 19-6 and 24-9 victories. So far
this season, excepting Riverside, G
M ('. alone has gotten away with the
big end of the score. Hence the earn
est desire to smear this crew all over

Academy team In the Savannah game
was the high tackling on the part of
several of the men. To remedy this,
the athletic authorities have purchased
a tnckling dummy and the players are
getting the best kind of tackling prac
tice now. The Improvement along
this line will be most marked by the
time of the G. M. C. game.
The great lesson learned from the
Savannah and Riverside games Is that
the forward pass game Is the one at
which the local eleven Is strongest. No
team yet played against has been able
to arrange Its defense to meet suc
cessfully this style of attack employed
by the locals. Every football otitic
who has witnessed the forward pass
formations say they are the best he
has ever seen and that, by means of
these passes, the Academy could most
probably score on any of the minor
Southern College elevens.
