SARDELLE’S BOUGHT
LEWIS & OLIVE
J. Robert Lewis and Robert Lee
Olive Become Owners of Well
Known Drug Business Dr.
Gardeile Retires.
Gardelle’s drug store, for the past forty
three years owned and operated by Dr.
L. A. Gardeile, Augusta's highly respected
and honored veteran druggist, has passed
to the ownership of J. Robert Lewis and
Robert Lee Olive, two of the city’s best
known young pharmacists.
The deal, consummated several days
ago. became effective today, announce
ment in the change of ownership appear
ing in the advertising columns of this is
sue of The Herald.
The new owners of the business have
been connected with Augusta drug store**
for the past fifteen years and besides be
ing extraordinary proficient in their line,
both are enterprising and popular younf
men endowed with splendid business acu
men and vision, and under their manage
ment “Gardelle’s” will continue to hold
the high standard of excellence set for
It and maintained by Dr. Gardeile
throughout his years’ of successful ope
ration of the business.
During recent, years, !>r. Lewis has been
connected with Gardelle’s and much of
the burden of the conduct of the buslnesr
has been upon his shoulders. Dr. Olive
for the past several years has held a re
sponsible position wi',h T. G. Howard
druggist, and like Dr. ‘Lewis, is recog- 1
nized as one of the most capable pharma
cists in this section. He is a native o *
Columbia County, while Dr. Lewis was
born and reared in Warren County.
The business in future will be knowr
as “Gardel'e’s,’’ Lewis & Olive, proprie
tors. In retaining the name by which the
store has been known for so many years
the new firm will continue to enjoy rne
prestige which it vouchsafes, and at tnc
same time it is a pretty compliment to
Dr. Gardeile.
Dr. Gardeile in selling the business and
the stock has also disposed of his good
will and proposes to retire from active
life. He has been eminently successful tn
the drug line and in retiring frxn active
business life, he does so with the con
sciousness that the affairs of the concern
which he has spent a lifetime in build
ing up will be continued on the same high
plane on which he established and ope
rated it. Dr. Lewis and Dr. Olive are
being congratulated upon their acquiwl
tion of Gardelle’s and many good wishes
are extended them for unqualified success

The competency of Police Chief S. E.
»rubus was questioned during the dis
mission, which was largely a grilling In
Councilman N. M. Reynolds, of tho mem
ers of the civil service commission
a hree commissioners. Messrs Raworth,
Byon and Duvall asserted their belief that
the present chief is entirely competent
vut!*..- Position. While Oommissionei
W nils declared that he thought the chief
was handicapped by the lack of exper
ience. The fiftli commissioner Mr Ed
enfieid, was not called upon for an ouin
'Oil.
All of the commissioners acknowledged
the inefficiency of the police force as
presently organized, but with the ex
ception of Mr. Willis, declared th t the
situation due to the impossibility of
securing compelent privates and not to
lncoinpetency on Urn part of the chief.
Mr. Willis also agreed that the lack of
capable man power was largely respon
sible. but stated that he thought Chiot
Grubbs lacked experience in the hand
ling of men. "I am willing to admit Uiat
the chief is doing the best In* can,” said
Mr. Willis, ‘‘and that he has been con
siderably handicapped, but the fact that
he has been doing his best shows that he
lacks experience as an organl*er. On
the other hand. 1 will, sav that lie is hon
pst, truthful, frank, and willing to co
operate with the commission in every
way. T will add that he is fearless. Put
Hie conduct of the force during the past
several months shows that' it is ve-v
poorly organized.”
Raworth Grilled.
President Raworth. of the commission,
was grilled at length by Mr. Reynolds,
and answered to the effect that lie be
lieved the chief was fitted for the post,
and that an Increase of salaries in the
department would enable the commission
to secure the services of better men and
thus bring it to a higher standard. Un
der the rules of civil service, he sta* Mi
a member of the force could not be dis
missed without sufficient, and proven
charges, and this would make it impos
sible to get rid of tlie fifteen incompe
tents as early as was desired. However,
six of tho eight temporary men could be
dropped immediately better m< n were
secured, and in this way the “drones”
could be diminished.
The other commissioners agreed with
Mr. Raworth as to better salaries invit
ing better men to tin* force.
Commissioner Duvall emphasized tho
difficulty the commission has met in se
curing capable men. “Some answers fb

over five or six eligibles out of the year’s

not work for the salaries provided. Man>

Mr. Reynolds turned to Commissioner
Lyon.
“Would the contemplated increases

he asked.
“Undoubtedly,” was the reply.
“What assurance have we?” asked Mr.
Reynolds.
so positive of it that I would bo

“Is Chief on Trial?”
After further grilling as to the com
petency of Chief Grubbs, during which '
Messrs. Haworth, Lyon and Duvall re
iterated that the trouble was occasioned
by the lack of competent privates. Com
missioner Lyon arose to ask if the chief
was on trial.
“If the chief is incompetent.” he said
to Mr. Reynolds, “you or any other citi
zen has the right to prefer charges. He
should be tried before the commission,
and not at this meeting. 1 have been on
the board twelve years, and will say that
Chief Grubbs is as competent as any
chief we have had dm tig that time.”
At this point Mr. Duvall stated, in
answer to a query as to the chief's ability
as a disciplinarian, that be din’t think ho
had had sufficient opportunity to show
his worth. “I think that ho has improv
ed conditions since he vfcas made chief,
in fact, and that he will make good if giv
en tho opportunity,” said Mr. Duvall.
Councilman McGovern wanted to know
if the conmmlssion could not get rid «>r
the fifteen “incompetents” gradually If
the salary increase was granted, and win
told by all the commissioners that nucTi
would be their endeavor, although it
mlgh be some littTe time before its ac
complishment.
Councilman Callahan, who Is chairman
of the police committee, then motioned
to give the policemen a salary scale
similar to that granted io the firemen,
and after considerable discussion, the t»t
vote resulted.
It is predicted that the salary question
will cause a hot wrangle in council Mon
day night, but that it will result in the
petition being granted with the under
standing that the “drones” on the police
force, who represent about 25 per cent of
its personnel, will be weeded out as rap
idly as possible.

JOHN D. ROSS IS
WELL KNOWN HERE
Mr. John D. Ross, reported In dis
patches yesterday as having been severely
burned in the big fire at Tampa, is well
known in Augusta. About ten years age
he married an Augusta girl, Miss Gay
nolle Cook, and has visited this city on
numerous occasions.
POSITIONS LANDED
m 3,203 PERSONS
United States Employment Ser
vice Piaccs 501 Ex-Soldiers
in Local Positions.
A remarkable showing has been made
during the past twelve months by the
Unit'd States employment Service, lo
cated at the Y M. C. A. When tho
bureau closed the office at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, tho total number
of men actually placed in jobs of one
kind and another totaled 3.203.
This splendid total makes an aver
age' of ten persons a day for whom po
sitions were found during 1919. There
were 2V-174 applications and almost
*I,OOO wore referred to jobs. Sometimes
the jobs did not suit and they were
not accepted by the applicant. At oth
er times, the applicant failed to suit
iho employer and as a result almost
1,000 persons were not placed.
The fact that ton persons a day
were actually given work, varying
from porters to bookkeepers and of
fice managers, is abundant proof of
the necessity for such a bureau. The
expense of the bureau is being borne
by city couneil. The superintendent
servos without salary, and the steno
grapher is paid a very nominal sum.
Of the 3,000 persons placed, 501
were ex-soldiers. To show how ihc
bureau’s services are needl'd at the
present time, attention recalled to tho
report for December. Of the 194 per
sons referred to positions, 23 were ex
soldiers.
During the past two weeks the
bureau has had very few applications
from employers and only by personal
work on the part of the superintend
ent and his assistant has such a good
record been made. It is hoped that in
the coming months the employers of
Augusta and vicinity will remember
that the United States lOmployinent
Service in co-operation with the
State Department of Labor and city
council of Augusta is ready to be of
assistance and all il asks is that all
help wanted In* list»*d with the bureau
immediately. Miss Nell Banks is the
efficient stenographer and ,1. Kdgur
Drobyn is superintendent. Call 199 if
you arc in need of help.
