NOTHING LIKE IT ON
EARTH, SHE STATES
Mrs. Wall Finds Relief by
Taking Tanlac After She Had
Suffered For Years. Gains
Twelve Pounds.
"I suffered so long that I thought
my troubles would never come to an
end, but Tanlac has brought relief at
last and I have gained twelve pounds."
declared Mrs. Luther G. Wall, of 1003
Cameron Avenue, Dallas. whose
husband Is a well-known cement work
contractor, recently.
“Four years ago." she continued,
"when I started down hill my appetite
failed end the little l forced down
soured on my stomach and seemed to
clog up my whole system. The gasj
that rose from my undigested food!
pressed on my heart so I could hardly I
breathe, my head ached like it would j
burst, and I had such awful dizzy I
spells I would sometimes almost |
smother to death. My shoulders would-,
ache so with rheumatism that 1 would]
just give up and go to bed and I would i
lie there almost helpless for days at a
time. I took so much medicine my
home looked like a young drug store,
but nothing seemed to reach my trou
ble.
"When I started on Tanlac I began
improving right away, my appetitt
picked up so I could eat and enjoy all
my meals and now my troubles are a
thing of the past. My rheumatism is
all gone, I sleep like a child and wake
up feeling fine. I have my strength
back so I can do all my housework
without getting tired. I am gaining in
weight every day and am feeling bet
ter than l have in many years. 1 don’t
believe there is another medicine on
earth like Tanlac.”
Tanlac is sold in Augusta exclusively
by Howard’s Drug Stores. —(Advt.)
EXPECTS ARREST OF
CROATIAN EDITOR
Sergeant Mestrocitch, of Camp
Hancock, Declares Frank
Gzota is Paid to Engineer
Blowing Up of Munition
Plants in America.
Sergeant James T. Mestroeitch, of Co.
<’. tilth Infantry, stationed at Camp
Hancock, does not share the views of
Senator Knox, as conveyed in a recent is
sue of the New \ ork Times, to the ef
fect that the fifteen million Croatians,
Bohemians, Poles and Slavs, now resident
of thiff country, are willing to take up
arms against the dual monarchy. Serge
ant Mestroeitch declares that while some
of them will be loyal to this country, lie
knows from actual experience and
knowledge of these foreigners, tfTTt many
of them will bear watching.
Sergeant Mestroeitch, a native Serbian,
who has been in this country the past
six years and in civil life is Pittsburg j
representative of the Indiana firm of
Chladamir von Foerster Company, real j
estate dealers, stated to a Herald re
porter that on the day the United States,
declared war on Austria-Hungary he
forwarded to the department of justice
bona-fide information which he expects
to lead to the arrest of Frank Gzota, New
York editor of the Croatian paper, Naro
dni Nlsti, who the sergeant declares has
been the instigator of many plots to blow
up munitions plants in this country and
for which service he has received SIO,OOO i
a year from the Austria-Hungarian gov
ernment
Sergeant*Mestroeitch is bitter in his de
nunciation of the Bulgurs’ treatment of
the Serbians. Right after the retreat
in Serbia, he spent seventeen months in
that unhappy country as interpreter to
American physicians who were engaged
in relief work there. For the aid of Am
erica to Serbia, following the retreat and
during the typhus scourge, Sergeant
Mestroeitch is grateful and he is anx
*ioufe to join America’s allies in France
to do his bit in dealing the death blow
to German autocracy and Bulgarian and
Turkish brutality.
The sergeant at present has a brother,
Captain Mike Mestroeitch, who is doing
valiant, service with the Italian army in
the defense of Venice. He recently re
ceived a letter from his brother, stating
Venice has been saved —not by arms, but
l»v the snow, which retarded the advance
of the Austro-Germans. His brother
stated that men of the Italian army had
been in the battle line for thirty days,
without interruption .when they were re
lieved by the timely arrival of British and
French reinforcements. The battles around
Venice, h<* stated, were the greatest since
the war begun, and that x the Amrican
aviation corps vf as showing up admirably.
Captain Mestroeitch, in December,
1914, while still a lieutenant, was captured
by Austrians, but escaped from prison
and was later made a captain. He was
wounded twice by the Bulgurs during the
retreat in Serbia, and after the retreat
he Mid other staff officers were sent to
Italy to instruct the new Italian fighting
forces in modern war tactics. He was
captured by the Austrians on Nvember
6th. 1917, wounded in making his escape,
and after three weeks in the hospital,
was on the firing line again.
Sergeant Mestroeitch is anxious for the
United States to declare war on Bulga
ria. declaring that the Bulgars are not
friendly to this country, despite state\
ments to that effect by the Bulgarian
Minister Pavoruoff in the New York
Times, for he states, half of the Ger
man and Austrian officers are with the
Bulgarian forces and there is no neutral \
feeling cherished by the Bulgars for Am
erica.

LEGACY UTILIZATION
BY PUBLIC OPNION
White Legacy Committee Or
ganized Monday. Suggestions
In Writing Should Be Sent to
Secretary
AUDITORIUM-LIBRARY
HELD IN HIGH FAVOR
By Majority of the Committee.
Other Suggestions as to How
the $400,000 Could be Used
for ‘Greatest Good to Great
est Number.’
Thirty-three members of the .T. j!.
White Legacy Committee, appointed by
Mayor Littleton a few days ago for
tlie purpose of threshing oiit public
opinion on the most feasible and prac
tical plan to use the $400,000 "for the
greatest good to the greatest number,"
met at city council chamber at four
o’clock Monday afternoon, organized,
and offered informal suggestions as
to the way the bequest should be util
ized.
Organization was as follows: \V. H.
Barrett, chairman; Mr. William Lyon
Martin, secretary; Mr. A. S. Hatch,
vice-chairman, and Mr. W. N. Benton,
second vice-president.
Suggestions from Public.
After organization and after several
suggestions had been bffered, it was
decided that the public at large should
have a voice in saying what should be
done with the money, by mailing to
the secretary, Mr. William Lyon Mar
tin. their written suggestions. The
members of the h.tacy committee may
also take this course. The suggestions
in writing must he with Mr. Martin
before January lot' . which date the
legacy committee will hold another
meeting and .consider the suggestions
at hand. It is the duty of tills com
mittee to try and sift down the sug
gestions to one oh two plans to lay be
fore city council.
For Auditorium-Library.
Suggestions were called for by some
of the members in order that the com
mittee would have some light to go by.
The suggestions were, of course, of an
informal nature.
It appeared that about two-thirds of
those present who offered suggestions
especially the ladies, were heartily in
favor of th establishment of a public
auditorium and library on Broad Street.
It was pointed out that utilizing the
money in this way would fill a long
felt need in Augusta. There were
several splendid reasons submitted why
tlie money should be used in this way.
Suggests Memorial School.
Another suggestion was that the
money be used to establish an educa
tional institute at which the young
men and women without means could
obtain a business education, and to call
the building the "White Institute.”
Allen Park was suggested as the most
appropriate site. The speaker said
that he had known Mr. White in the
years gone by, and knew him for a man
who took a great interest in young
men and women. Therefore, he thought
nothing would be more appropriate to
perpetuate ills memory than such an
institution, to cost, say, $150,000, with
an endorsement for the balance of the
fund. The speaker was also in favor
of the auditorium and library, if there
would be enough money left for the
establishment of the same.
Other Suggestions.
Another member suggested that the
money be utilized in permanent street
paving.
Another suggestion listened to with
interest was to the effect that the
money lie utilized for a municipal wa
terworks system, to be named the
“White Memorial Waterworks System.”
In this way, the speaker thought the
public at large would be benefited to
the greatest extent —an unlimited sup
ply of good water at the lowest cost
to tlie citizen and an unlimited supply
for protection against fire. >
One member recommended that part
of the fund be used for a public audi
torium and library, and another part
for building a “White Memorial Bridge”
across the river at San Bar Ferry-
Public Colored School.
Silas X. Floyd, representing the col
ored people, recommended tluU a part
of the fund be used for a public school
for colored children. Such in institu
tion was greatly needed lie said, and
would benefit tlie colored citizens in a
way that could not be reached by any
other method.
Floyd told of the days when he was
Mr. .1. B. White's newsboy and boot
black, and said that he felt Indeed
honored to know that Mr. White’s for
mer bootblack had been appointed a
member of the committee that has a
voice in saying what should be done
with 1 rincely legacy of nearly half a
million dollars to lie utilized for the
benelit Augusta's people.
Floyd added that he was ready to
vite for an auditorium and library, but
believed that a new public school
would please the colored man most as
his part of the bequest.
ONLY 1,500 SOLDIERS
TO GET FURLOUGHS
War Department Decrees Only
Five Per Cent of Men at Any
Camp May Go Home For
Christmas.
Disappointment resides in the hearts of
thousands of the men at Camp Hancock,
following the announcement from division
headquarters that the War Department
has given positive directions that the num
ber of furloughs to he granted for the
Christmas season shall not exceed the
regulation amount which Is five per cent
of the strength of the command. Accord
ingly. hut 1.500 men from the camp will
be permitted to go home for the C * istmas
holidays.
The impression has been going around
the camp that from 50 to 75 per cent, of
the men |r» the National Army are to go
home for Christmas. According to infor
mation received at 'division headquarters
this Is not the rase. The same rule that
will aprdy to Camp Hancock is being ap
pl'e l to all the training camps, accord
ing to the most reliable information
Major General Charles M Muir, division
commander, was this morning in receipt
of a communication from some lad In the
division asking him to he generous with
furloughs. The letter staled that from
50 to 75 per cent, of the National Army
men were receiving furloughs -and that
th*- hoys hearts would he gladdened If
they could go home for a short time dur
ing this season.

MERCHANTS WHO INVEST IN AUGUSTA HERALD ADVERTISING GET LARGE PROFITS
COUNCIL MEET 4 P. M.
INSTEAD OF EVENING
To Consider Business License
Ordinance Today
TO CONSERVE FUEL
Special and Committee Meet
ings in Afternoons Instead of
Evenings For Present.
A special meeting of rtiv council has
been called to take place \it 4 o’clock
this afternoon. The purpose is to con
sider the business license ordinance
and other business; including; routine
matters in connection with the mak
ing up of reports for year now drawing
to a close.
Afternoon Meetings.
As long as the fuel scarcity is felt it
is likely that all special meetings of
council, as well as committee meetings,
will be held in the afternoon instead of
evenings in order to save as much coal
as possible.
The reason for this is because it is
impossible to heat one room of the
municipal building without heating the
others. During; the afternoons, of
course, the building is warmed gener
ally. but at nights, when the majority
of the offices are closed, it is necessary
to heat the entire building if there is
to he a special.or committee meeting
in one room.
At the White Legacy Committee
meeting Monday some one suggested
that the next meeting of that commit
tee occur in the evening instead of the
afternoon. It was pointed out that the
idea was to have all meetings in the
afternoon that could be so arranged in
order to save fuel. The vote was then
taken as to what hour the next meet
ing would take place, and resulted
unanimously for the afternoon hour.
The arrangement, of course, is tem
porary, hut it is probable that council
will see fit to hold its regular meetings
in the afternoons as long as the cold
weather continues and the fuel situa
tion is so critical.
“SCARED TO DEATH"
IS JURY'S VERDICT
Inquest Over Body of Young-
Negro Who Dropped Dead
While Under Arrest.
j
“Scared to death” was the verdict of
the coroner’s jury at the inquest over the
remains of Ben Roberson, the young 101
lington vsouniy negro who dropped dead
Monday afternoon while being carried to
police headquarters on the charge of vio
lating one of the minor automobile regu
lations.
The negro dropped near the corner
Broad and Jackson streets. He had dr
Mr. and Mrs. O. e\ Meyers of Elli’u
county into the city and a police off
noticed him sitting alone in the *•;.
which, it was asserted, was curbed be
tween the "Don’t Park” signs in front of
the Albion Hotel. The officers were tar
rying him to headquarters so that he
could arrange for a small bond to appear
before th recorder when he fell.
A post mortem examination Tuesday
morning revealed the fact that the negro
was in sound physical condition at the
time of death, and so far as coukl be de
termined there was no heart trouble.
It is thought that the man. scared of the
“police” in a manner peculiar to country
negroes, became so frightened that hls
heart stopped beating.

Much Anxiety Lest Next Move
From Division Headquarters
May Announce Another
“Weighing in the Balance’
The lot of the enlisted man has been
one of waiting and waiting. The long and
arduous schedule prepared for his instruc
tion has been going on uninterruptedly,
but nevertheless be has felt that the di
vision was unsettled and that a steady
ing force was needed to place the di
vision in a surer place for service over
seas.
There is no question of the influence of
politics on this division. This phase of
the retardation of the division is now
more than a mere undercurrent of con
versation. It is general throughout the
division. But. politics from the division
also is slated for the taboo. No more
will officers who arc disgruntled be able
to take a trip to Washington, collect a
few congressmen to his aid and pull the
wires for something he wants.
A spirit of seriousness has at last be
gun to show itself in the division. Army
tactics are now being used. The division
is beginning to develop into a real mil
itary lighting machine and there Is being
shown the real spirit of the fighting man.
Efficiency Tests Cause Anxiety.
Developments in the changes of the
commanding personnel of the Twenty
eighth Division are expected today. The
officers of the division were today taking
an Inventory of themselves In an effort to
discover whether or not they would be
able to pass the efficiency and physical
tests of the War Department or to find
out whether their advanced age would
disqualify them from service in General
Barshing's overseas forces.
Many of the officers of the division have
remained cont<«» to await orders from
the War Department here and have shown
little interest In the serious game of war
other than to follow their regular routine.
Now. these men have been “put on their
toes” and the spirit which pervades the
division is one of anxiety lest the next
move from division headquarters would
announce another “weighing Tn the bal
ance.”
Young Men Doing the Work.
It is no secret that many of the offi
cers have been wholly at sea in this
preparation for war.. While these might
have been able to give ceremonial drills,
to prepare a real battle machine has been
in many cases too much for them. It has
been said that the division has been kept
up by the younger men —the newer men in
the guard who are fired with the enthus
iasm of youth. The reserve officers, too,
have played an Important part in the gen
eral efficiency displayed by most of the
units.
The enlisted personnel have been await
something to happen. They have
' steadily on obeying and working
hem a command was a command and
rder an order. They are anxiously
tderlng when the division, which was
first National Guard division under
anvas, would get settled ami when it
would finally be prepared for expedition
ary service.
On the Range.
The men of the One Hundred and Elev
enth Infantry composed of Pittshurgers
and Philadelphians, left this morning for
the rifle range where they will put In their
turn in practice for this week. Next week
the men of the One Hundred and Twelfth
Infantry are scheduled for their turn.
The other two Infantry regiments of the
division, the One IlundreG anti Ninth and
one Hundred and Tenth have completed
their work on the range.
The artillery regiments are out on the
range this week. They left yesterday and
have set up headquarters on the terri
tory contiguous to the camp and to the
west of it.

The scarcity of fuel and the cold
weather at hand has caused a some
what serious situation to face Augusta,
especially those citizens who .are not
well to do, and some of them that are,
for coal, and even wood, has been al
most impossible at any price, for the
simple fuel that such fuel is getting to
be all but, an unknown quantity in this
city. M’h** citizens are beginning to
dub coal "black diamonds.”
The city owns about 200 acres of
land three or four miles above the city
stockade. This land is known as the
MeKelfdn place, and about 00 acres
have been under, cultivation this year
by tin* stockade labor. Many acts are
timbered, and it is estimated that at
least 1.0410 cords of wood may be se
cured oil* the land, which will help to
allvlate the conditions now prevailing
in the city cm account of the scarcity
of fuel.
Wednesday morning Hu* city chain

stockade will be given axes and tak
en to the lumberland Under the di
rection of Superintendent Whittle of
the stockade the wood will be cut, load
ed on flat bouts, and brought down tin*
canal to the city rock crushing yards,
Just above the Butt Memorial Bridge.
The wood will lc* simply cut and trim

to whom it will be sold at the least pos
sible price, to have it split and distrib
uted to tlu» consumer. The consumer
may purchase direct from the city by
hauling his own load.
The price, it is understood, will hs
left 1 1 > tlie city's find administrator,
but it is figured that the city can af
