SIX Old Linen Campaign Has Just Seen Its First Results in Augusta, Ga. More Shipments, it is Expected, /ill Be Sent For the Wound ed Soldiers in Europe- Alice Lawton, in The New York Evening Sun, Given Grapic Account of the Splendid Work. The Old Linen Campaign, which is being conducted throughout the nation by the Salvation Army for the bene fit of the wounded soldier* in the war in Europe, has not long seen its first results in Augusta Adjutant Yates and his friends are enthusiastically behind the movement locally and greater things yet are ex pected here. The following will be soun■ very In teresting. (By Alice Lawton, in the New York Evening Sun.) Turn your linen into lint! Bo sounds forth the- slogan of the Blue Cross, that very latest of war relief organizations, the idea of which sprang into being in the busy brain of Commander Evangeline Booth, of the Salvation Army. She was eager to do something practical to aid the wounded soldiers on the battlefields of war-ravaged Europe. ll seemed to hf*r thst the t Im portant tlving for the soldier to carry in his pocket would be a compact lit tle package, of sponges, ao that when a bullet plowed through his body or a bayonet slashed his flesh he could thrust one of these sponges into the wound at once to stanch the flow of blood until the Red Cross nurses could can for him. These simple things would save him from inviting poison ing from the use of an unaterilixed coat - lining Also a tiny, tightly rolled five-yard bandage would take up lit tle room and also help to save Ida life. Accordingly, the Blue Cross has set to work not In opposition to the Red Crosse but with an earnest desire to co-operate with it to collect old linen and make bandages, sponges, hand kerchiefs and many other things Lie- Sides Which the soldiers need. Trans portation companies are undertaking to deliver all these to European ports free of charge. If you weie to visit the Blue Cross headquarters in the Hit I vat lon Army building at 120 West Fourteenth street you would suddenly find yourself In a huge auditorium so draped in white cheesecloth that it looks like a hos pital. Blue crosses at frequent inter vals suggest what Is going on. The floor is covered with orderly rows of white covered tallies, on either side of which young girls and young men, white-aproned and white-capped, are busily at work at various tasks. On tin* platform at the front are piles upon piles of old linen the term Is used to in due cotton as well. From ti big eUdhes-fiasket a white-robed nurse is lifting out old* sheets, pillow casaa, table linen, etc., which have just been washed and boiled, and Is hand ing them over to those whose business it is to cut and tear the articles into strips and squares of the proper size. Over in one corner the sewing-ma chine brigade sew togetlic the strips for bati'da!.< s. Captain Kentot| of the H/ilvalion Army presides over them. Then there’s a cutting brigade and a bandage-rolling brigade who spend hours turning the cranks of their busy Good-bye Dyspepsia No Mpor© Gurgly Brash, “Lump of Load,*' Bad Digestion, Heartburn or Stomach Troubles.

Another group armed with businesslike carving knives cut the bandages into rolls of regulation length. Team work prevails; every thing Is done precisely and in order, with strict sanitary precautions and no possible waste motions. In another corner, discreetly screened from In quisitive eyes, are the sterilising ma chines, and not the tiniest scrap of linen goes out to a wounded soldier without having taken the third degree In this contrivance. I>r. Harlow Brooks and a corps of nttrscs are directing the work of the Blue Cross. They, like all the other workers here, arc volunteers, giving generously of their time and energy. Many of the workers are young peo ple in the Salvation Army Training College. Then there are many society and clubwomen who have interested themselves in this Old Linen Cam paign. A commit!* one hundred women has been formed, with Com rounder Eva Booth rtf* chairman and Mrs. William (irant Brown, vice chairman. A group of women in Cincinnati, headed by Mrs. Charles P. Taft, has Mi nt material for 26,000 yards of band ages; a group of I tost on women has sent as much. It ts the ambition of the Blue Cross to get enough the wounded. Every hotel In this city has either already sent or has promised linen; one small town has sent In two ex press-wagon loads. This Is a move ment which appeals to the people In rural communities ns well as to the city folk. Almost every one has more or less old linen on hand; It costs them nothing to give It, nor to send It, for the Salvation Army wagons will go anywhere to gather It tip. And so it keeps pouring In—beauti fully monogrammed table linen and dinner napkins huge affairs, some hardly' disintegrated in the least— smaller napkins, more worn and of less exquisite texture; sheet*, good enough for any one to sleep in—after a few minutes of mending—shirts, with frayed-edge stiffs, white aprons, baby dresses ail sorts of things. The Salvation Army people are par ticularly Interested in this undertak ing. and all the officers and employes, even the poorly paid Slum workers, arc sacrificing lo this a certain per centage of their salaries for five weeks.

Pilcher Hospital Rosoiution Comes Up Before Council Tomorrow Night Resolution Provides For Vouchers of Hospitals to Be Paid By City Treasurer-- Hospital Authorities Claim That Insti tution is Being Operated Economically Now, and That There is No Reason For Any Change in System. The regular monthly meeting of the city council of Augusta will be held Monday night and a number of matters of great importance are to come up. Among the resolutions that whl be considered will be one by Councilman Pilcher, of the third ward, providing for the city to have more direct charge of administering the finances of the city hospitals. Mr. Pilcher’s resolution pro vides that instead of a lump sum of money being turned over to the hospi tals each year, that each hospital bill be paid Ijy the city treasurer, ’ike other city bills are paid so that a record may he kept of the expenditures, large and small. Mr. Pilcher charged in his resolution that the hospitals were being run to the "advantage of some physicians who pay no taxes into the city treasury and to the disadvantage of other physicians, some of whom pay a large amount in taxes." EXTENDS SCOPE OF BUSINESS The Davis Tire and Rubber Company Will in the Future Sell to Jobbers and Distributors, Guaranteeing Factory Prices. An announcement that will be read with interest is that the Davis Tire and Rubber Works, after three years of successful business, which has con stantly increased, proposes to extend the scope of their business that here tofore was confined to local consumers to jobbers and distributors over the entire Augusta trading territory. This firm Is exclusive Jobbers and distribu tors for the Kelly Springfield and Dia mond tires. It would be well for deal ers In Augusta as well as the terri tory continuous to the city to get price* on all tires and accessories her fore purchasing elsewhere, as it guar antees to duplicate dealers' prices from factory, or any distributing point, thus saving the freight charges, an item in ltßelf worth considering. The repair department of the Davis Tire and Rubber Works Is operated only as an accommodation to custom ers, and not for the purpose of mak ing money, as the chargeß are alw'ays so reasonable that no one could com plain of the prices asked for repair work. This firm is also making ad justment on all makes of tires, re gardless of when or from whom bought, allowing from 10 to 26 per cent on the coat of new tires in exchange for old ones. This is a new' depar ture in the South never before hav ing been attempted by a firm of this kind. The Davis Tire and Rubber Works also build ,old tires, using the only self-sealing, rebuilding open kettle now In use in any city south of Baltimore. A guarantee is offered every dealer that the prices charged for relining, blow-out patches and other tire ac cessories ore tlie closest to be had anywhere.

A short time after Mr. Pilcher’s reso lution was Introduced an article was published In the Augusta papers from the superintendent of the City hospital, making a denial of many of the charges. Mr. Pilcher’s resolution was referred to the city attorney to Investigate and report back as to whether etc not coun cil had any authority, under the con tract with the faculty of the Medical Department of the Vnlversity of Geor gia, to. require that all vouchers be paid by the city treasurer Instead of having a lump sum of money turned over an nually to the faculty to spend as It sees fit. The discussion on the resolution to morrow night will no doubt be Intensely interesting. The hospital authorities maintain that the Institution is being run economically and that there Is ab solutely no ground for the Pilcher chargeß. and is thus enabled to render prompt and expert service to customers on the road, who, when dealing with hi* firm, can ride carefree and without worry, with the knowledge that the service of this firm can he had, If needed, at all times.

City Council Will Probably Decide Question Tomorrow Night. Is Much Opposition This Year From Woman’s Clubs and Also From Cotton Men. City council tomorrow night will no doubt consider the question of dis charging flrew'orks in the city limits the coming Christmas. There is an ordinance In the city code which pro hibits the discharging of fireworks at any place in the city at any time. However, it has been the custom of council, for several years, to suspend the ordinance from 12 o’clock, mid night, of Christmas Eve to 12 o’clock, midnight, Christmas night. This year, however, there is expected to be de termined opposition on the part of a great many councilmen to any sus pension of the ordinance. The Augusta Woman’s Clubs are a unit in opposition to the plan of al lowing fireworks discharged because of the danger to life and limb caused by the explosives, while the fact that there Is a large quantity of cotton on the streets of the city that cannot ha housed because of the warehouse fa cilities being Inadequate, will cause it to be precarious to allow fireworks discharged in any section of the city. The suspension of the ordinance against discharging fireworks hereto fore has always carried with it he prohibition of their discharge In that section bounded by Fifth, Thirteenth and the north side of Broad Street, and, also in the Immediate vicinities of the Standard Oil Company, Gulf Refining Company and the cotton compress companies. It Is believed by many councilmen that the enormous quantity of cotton now stored in Au gusta will render hazardous the dis charge of fireworks on any section of the city.
