FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. Merchants Went to Appear Eeiore Committee But Session Executive Me>chants Protesting Against Manner of Hospital Awards Then Made Their Statement to Hospital Committee in Writing SAID THEY HAD EXPECTED TO APPEAR ll\l PERSON However, Chairman of Hos pital Committee, Mr. William Martin, Did Not So Under stand it---A Report of the Hospital Committee to Be Made to Council. There was a meeting of the special hospital committee of city council on Thursday night when the matter of the hospital awards was discussed. The session that was held was an executive one, although a number of Augusta merchants stated that they had been informed by Mayor Hayne that they could appear before the com mittee and went there for that pur pose. There seemed to have been some misunderstanding: as to the meet ing. Mayor Hayne was not present himself. Messrs. A. E. Gerald, C. W. Wise, J. A. Mullarky and Jas. McElwee appear ed with their attorney, Mr. Isaac S. Peebles, expecting to attend the meet ing. After it had been in session for some little time and the gentlemen had waited on the outside they were informed by Mr. Wm. Lyon Martin, clerk of the committee, that the ses sion was executive and they were ask ed to frame up a written statement of their side of the case. This was done and presented to the committee. Mr. Peebles appeared before the commit tee and read statement. The merchants and their friends who were not admitted to the meeting felt that they had not been treated right about the matter and so stated. They said that they thought they could get a hearing and not only hear why their samples had not been opened, but they wanted to see the samples of the goods purchased. Chairman Martin, of the hospital committee, stated after the greeting of the committee that he was sorry there had been a misunderstanding about the gentlemen appearing before the committee. He said the matter was referred to the committee to report v back to city council and that the com mittee meeting last night was execu tive because all of the previous meet ings have been executive and that cer tainly no discourtesy to the merchants was intended. Mr. Martin said he thought the presence of Mr. Peebles, attorney for the merchants, was suffi cient to present their side of the case. A full and complete report of the entire matter will be submitted to city council, said Mr. Martin, when every successful bidder and the amount of his bid will be made known. The Communication. The following was the communica tion addressed to the committee by the merchants after they had been noti fied that the meeting was to be an executive one: ‘•To the special Hospital Building Com mittee: "Von Kamp. Vaughan & Gerald, The Wise Dry Goods Company, the J. A. Mullarky Co., and McElwee-Thomas Dry Goods Co., having made com plaint to city council at its last call meeting as to the disposition of their bids to said committee for linens, blankets, sheets, spreads and pillow cases for the new University Hospitals; and your committee having been re quired by council to report back to council as to your acting and doing in respect to such bids, having been re quested by your committee while in executive session through the clerk of council to set forth our complaint in respect to said subject matter, re spectively show: •That Von Kamp. Vaughan & Ger ald at the request of said committee, furnished samples for the items above specified together with a list of said articles and the prices bid by them to said committee on Sept. 23, 1914; Sept. 25, 1914 belntc the time limit when said bids should be made. "That on Jan 9, last, said samples were returned to said Von Kamp, Vaughan & Gerald unopened. That when the said Von Kamp, Vaughan & Gerald learned that the contract for said article* had been let. they re quested Dr. Thos. R. Wright to furn ish them with the prices paid by said hospital committee for the above ar ticles and permit them to examine the samples of the successful bidder. That said Dr. Wright then and there ques tioned the authority of said firm or any member thereof to inspect such hid or such samples. And finally oh being pressed the said Dr. Wright stated that the said hill was locked up In a room In said hospital. That sub sequent to said called meeting of said ritv council the said Von Kamp. Vaughan & Gerald and the W ise Dry Goods Company requested the mayor Of said cl tv the privilege of comparl sotw'f samples and prices of the Au gusta bidders with the successful bid der. And while the mayor e*P re his wlllinrn*** to comply *ith nxicn and addressed a letter to the said Dr. Wright as to such propo rtion or request the mayor subse quently notified them the said Dr_ Wright had refused to comply with Ih "Th*t U the said Wise Drv Good.

"That the aald J A Mullarky Co filed with the clerk of city round and the setrttary of said committee. Wm. f.yon Martin, a bid for the above name ar- tides, and furnished said hospital com mittee with samples of said articles bid upon, furnishing such information on said bid as would Identify said samples. That on or about January 9, 1915. said samples were returned to said J. A. Mu'llarky Co., which showed unmis takable signs that the same never had been opened. That upon inquiry by the said J. A. MullaVky Co., to one of the members of said committee, viz. Hon. Thos. Pilcher, he was informed that said committee had spent several days in examining said samples and comparing them. “Said complainants say that it was absolutely impossible for said commit tee to have determined the quality of the goods bid upon without considering the samples accompanying said bids. For example, blankets: although hearing the same brand have different weights and the amount of wool or cotton contained therein differ. Again, table damask, towels, napkins. buVeau covers, as to the quality, cannot be described with suf ficient degree of accuracy to enable one to judge of the quality by the mere de scriptive words without examining the samples. For example, table linens that are manufactured of German linen may he confused with Irish linen unless care fully computed by an export, or by weight, fineness of yarn and other tests which can only be determined by a comparison of samples. That this con tention is borne out bv the further fact that the said Dr. Wright stated to one of the complainants herein that one of the foreign bidders had been in his of fice comparing samples of linen, and that said foreign bidders had attempted to pawn off Gevman linen for Irish linen. “The complaintants were invited by the mayor to appear before said com mittee at 8 o’clock on January 14, 1915, for making before said committee their complaint and for an exhibition to com plainants of successful bid and samples. That complainants met at the city of fices at 8 o’clock p. m., as requested, when said committee went into executive session and complaintants were notified that they could file with said committee their written complaint. That complain ants were ready and anxious to sustain the allegations herein contained, and stand ready and willing to do so either before said committee or before city council. “That complainants are filing this complaint, not w ith the idea of secur ing any of said contracts as they un derstand that said contracts have been let; but as tax payers and citizens of the city of Augusta, they make the follow ing demand: “That there be exhibited to them the bids of the successful bidders and the samples accompanying such bids. “Wherefore, complainants being ac tuated with no 111 feeling, but by a sense of civic duty, demand that they be granted the privilege of examining said samples and the bids of the successful bidder.

WHISKEY DEBT IN GEORGIA IS UNOOLLECTABLE Decision of State Supreme Court in Grusin Case of This City is of Interest. By the decision just handed down by the state supreme court, in the case of the Old Springs Distillery Com pany, Cincinnati. Ohio, vs. J. Grushin, of Augusta, Ga., the latter won his contention, which was that a debt for liquor in a "dry" state is uncollect able. In the superior court of the Augusta circuit sometime ago a verdict was awarded for the Cincinnati liquor firm, whereupon Grushin appealed the case, setting out that the goods were pur chased in Georgia, a prohibition state, from an agent of the company, in vio lation of the state law. The suit was for 6280 and interest, the company claiming that Grushin had bought of it 168 half-pints, 56 pints, and 56 quarts of whiskey, for which he had never paid. The su perior court's verdict gave the com pany the entire amount asked and 640 for the interest. This decision from state supreme court means that any debt for liquor, if the sale Is contracted for in Geor gia, cannot, by law, be collected. As it Is against the law to sell liquor in Georgia, the transaction is illegal and therefore null and void. WOMAN IN BAD CONDITION Restored To Health by Lydia E.

Read it in The Herald, Then See the Pictures. A story that stirs, filled with situa tions that startle, and startle ralism that arouses —that’s "The Exploints of Elaine, a serial featuring the stars, Arnold Daly, Sheldon Lewis and l’earl White, which starts at the Strand on Tuesday next. Never was there such a serial us this! Never such thrills —such suspense, such intense longing for the next in stallment! "The Exploits of Elaine” has given a new figure to the screen, the super criminal, who comes and goes as un seen and as free as the air and who leaves desolation and pillage behind him. The Sherlock Holmes stories are outdone in this triumph of realism. The story will run in The Herald. Be sure to read it and then see it at the Strand beginning Tuesday. You don’t know how much more it means to read a story and see it in pictures at the same time, than to just read a story. PICKINGS FROM "PIC" By A. DAVISSON Meeting Mr. Milton, deputy sheriff i of Burke county, who was on his way j with a patient for the state asyltim j for the insane, I was gratified to have from Mr. Milton confirmation of the j Thos. F. 3uxton case as related by The Herald Thursday. Mr. Milton was; present when Buxton made confession j of the hold-up, and he states that Bux ton insists that he was not after mon ey but after papers whicli he consid ers himself entitled to. Mrs. Walter of Harlem, Mr. Wil liam Perry of Thomson, Mr. Lucius Evans of Grovetown were among a number of visitors to Augusta today. Mr. J. T. Lamkin of Columbia coun ty, now living at Harlem, is a well known Confederate veteran of seven ty-five years, and still hale and hap py. Mr. Lamkin is ready to readjust his farming methods to meet present necessary changes. Against the dis couragement suggested by croakers that it is impossible to cut loose (£om cotton culture stands the fact tliat the disposition to intelligently modify one s methods, even those of a life-time, iS widespread among farmers. Mr. Lamkin was one of the Ram sey Volunteers, and then of Long street’s corps. It is most interesting to hear his cheerful recountal of those days of stress and storm. Thg little Byrd of the Harlem Green home will be christened Frederick Per cival .after his father. He is already popular with the ladies, three having called on him yesterday. Colonel Presley Johnson is back from Atlanta, having come from Thomson to Harlem this morning Like all enterprising people he will find it an advantage to be able to get at his business affairs by an early train So as to trading in Augusta—our merchants have a better chance with customers spending <i whole day rath er than a part. This Is only one of many reasons in behalf of Pic s popu larity reasons best known to those who travel the main and adjacent lines of the road. So you Plcayuners keep your temper and don’t, say hard things about folks who don’t know, even though they belittle commuters, and pass by the scores of passengers daily dependent upon an early and late train service. As this is due to he an off year .n fruit it is a good plan to open up the roots of trees to the frost now, and to cut out dead branches as T see a neighbor doing. Spraying and the rest of it comes, of course, later, when pruning would injure trees. AT THE STRAND You have doubtless heard many of your friends say they are certainly going to the Strand, for “Anne Boye lyn” is to be presented in pictures. It Is a great picture and In addition to this film the Strand also presents to day “The Painted World.” “The Painted World.” The story of "The Painted World," a Broadway Star Feature In three parts, follows: The advent of her child, Yvette, arouses in Elois, an actress, the one fine trait In her nature, a tremendous mother-love. To protect her child from the influence of her own life and that of its dissolute father, becomes the one jjassion of her soul. She sends Yvette to a fashionable boarding school, impressing upon the child that she is a born lady and her mother a wealthy widow. Yvette dreads her visits home, where she has to suffer the passionate suffocating embrace and dreary companionship of her mo ther. On one of these visits she meets her father under conditions so strange she is led to believe she Is dreaming, as her mother says, and that the scar her mother carries across her eye Is the result of a fall. Her schooling over, Yvette returns home. Her mother leaves her alone the first even ing and her father, deep in his cups, discloses the fact that her mother Is an actress. Unbelieving, Yvette rushes to the theater, sees her mother there posing In the semi-nude. Her Inher ited tendencies break through the thin veneer of moral training Inculcated by her mother, and unknown to Elois, she becomes a burlesque queen, through a friend of her father's, a theatrical manager Her mother re turns home one night to find her drunken husband there and her daughter missing. Rhe beseeches him to tell her where Yvette Is, but he refuses. Just then Yvette, now a mem ber of the "painted world,” enters the room. Elois realizes that her daugh ter is already on the downward path, saves the girl's soul by slaying her body, destroys herself, and leaves evi dence placing the guilt upon her mls erah|e'ihushand. who has been the cause of ail their sorrow.

Will Take Two Million Bales If It Can Be Shipped. Willingness and alvility of the United States to protect cotton shipments on the seas Is all that must he deter mined to restore at least two-thirds of the export business with Germany, in the opinion expressed by German spinriers. Writing in answer to In quiries of Senator Smith of South Ca rolina as to cotton trade conditions in Germany, Addix * Cerdes of Brem en said in a letter laid before the sen ate recently: "The question of cotton import to this country remains absolutely with the American government, and wheth er It is strong enough or willing to protect the interests of property of American citizens crossing the ocean under American or other neutral col ors from English capture." In Germany the supply of American cotton has been reduced nearly two thirds, the letter stated, although men, money and orders are available to keep the mills at full time. Con sumption will he at least two-thirds normal, or two million halos annually. In the opinion of German spinners, if cotton can bo brought to them. Ranks have excessive credits and willingly loans funds for cotton Im portation at 4% per cent, it Is added. Diseased Blood Calls for Hel( Nature’s Willing Workers &r« Always at Your Service.
