FOUR COTTON MILLS
VOICE DISAPPROVAL
OF LEASE OF CANAL
*
Mayor Julian M. Smith is in re
ceipt of another letter expressing
opposition of water power users on
the Augusta canal to any plan that
would mean getting the power from
any source other than the city.
The first letter was from London
A. Thomas, president of the John
P. King Manufacturing Company,
and this second one is from S. A.
' Fortson, president of the Augusta
Factory, the Sibley Manufacturing
Company and the Enterprise Man
ufacturing Company. The letter
from Mr. Fortson states that it
expresses the sentiments of the
three mills of which he is presi
dent.
To date, according to advices
from the office of the mayor, this
makes four mills that have opposed
the propositiion of J. P. Wood,
whereby he would lease the canal
for thirty years on condition that
he make some kind of satisfactory
arrangement with the mills to sup
ply them wlith hydro-electric pow
er and of water power as now sup
plied by the city.
Mr. Fortson’s letter to the mayor
is as follows:
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 27, 1924.
‘•Hon. Julian M. Smith, Mayor,
‘•Augusta, Ga.
"Dear Sir: In reply to your in
quiry as to the attitude of thin
company in regard to the city en
tering into the proposed lease of
the Auguseta canal with Mr. J. P.
Wood, and turn over to him the
control of the canal for the next
thirty years,
"We have given this matter very
careful thought, and we would se
riously object and would oppose
vigorously such a step on the part
of the city of Augusta.
"Our contract for water power
is with the city of Augusta and we
do not care to have it transferred
to any one else, as wt prefer to
deal directly with the city. We do
not care to make a contract with
Mr. Wood, or any one else, surren
dering out rights for use of water
from the canal and accepting in
lieu thereof a contract for hydro,
electric power when generated by
him or his associates, or successors,
from the water in the canal. We
think the experience of the power
users of Augusta who had con
tracts with the Georgia-Carolina
Power Company, when they were
taken over by the Augusta-Alken
Railway & Electric Corporation,
whose contracts were set aside by
the Georgia Railroad Commission
and higher rates established, should
be sufficient proof to the present
users of canal water power that our
contract with ths city is the safest
contract we can have.

Splendid Football Record With a
Scrub Eleven at Harvard
Emile Adolph Sack, Jr., son of
Mr. and Mrs. Emile A. Sack, 264
Telfair street, who is a freshman
at Harvard University, is forging
ahead in athletics in his first year
there, according to rii account in a
recent Issue of the Harvard “Crim

Young Sack is a former cadet of

red in athletics for several years.
He was known as a brilliant foot

gest games Richmond ever played.
He won a James A. Rumrlll

SPECIAL BODY WILL
BE NAMED TO SPEND
PROCEEDS OF BONDS
At a conference held Tuesday
evening at the rooms of the Board
of Education by about 40 repre
sentative citizens and a commit
tee of the Board of Education, a
resolution was adopted in which
it is proposed that the expenditure
of the proceeds of the bond issue for
a Greater Richmond Academy shall
be vested in a special commission
composed of representatives from
the trustees of the Academy, the
Board of Education and the citi
zens.
‘‘This proposition is the outgrowth
of continuous attacks which have
been made upon the business ability
of the Board of Education,” Lawton
B. Evans, superintendent of schools,
said following the conference. "As
the resolution below Indicates,'
continued Mr. Evans, "it is a very
fair arrangement for all parties con
cerned and is an answer to the
charges that the Board of Educa
tion alone should be Instructed with
the expenditure of the funds aris
ing from the sale of the bonds."
The resolution Is as follows:
"Resolved, that In case the bond
issue for school purposes is agreed
upon by the necessary majority of
the voters of Richmond county, that
this committee of citizens and the
committee of the Board of Educa
tion recommend that a Joint com
mission be formed consisting of
three members of the Board of
Trustees of the Academy, three
members of the Board of Education
and three citizens of Augusta to be
chosen by the remainder of the
commission. That this commis
sion of nine members, together with
the secretary of ths board and the
principal of the Academy, he en
trusted with the carrying out of the
purposes of the bond issue to far
as it effects the Academy of Rich
mond county, with the understand
ing that the total amount to be
spent shall not exceed the sum of
S4OO 000, of which $300,000 Is to be
spent from the bond issue, and
SIOO,OOO from an appropriation of
the trustees of ths Richmond Acad
emy.”

“Throughout the first quarter
neither side scored. Time and again
Gore carried the ball the length of
the field, only to be stopped on the

a mass of trash and dirt, becoming
instead of an ornament to greet the
eye of the visitor to the city as he
emerges from the union station, an

The fountain is naturally a beauti

Statements In Favor of
$350,000 of Bonds Made
By Miss Julia A. Flisch,
Mrs. Mary A. Day and Wm.
T. Shea
The following letters from'Miss
Julia A. Flitch, Mrs. Mary A. Day,
and Wm. T. Shea, giving hearty en
dorsement to tho proposed bond Is
sue for $350,000, to be voted on here
Saturday, were made public by edu
cational authorities Wednesday:
THREE ENDORSEMENTS
Every successful man lias, at one
lime or another in his life, ventured
what ho had, that he might make a
greater gain. There Is nothing re
markable in this, it Is a perfectly le
! ultimate business. I never knew a
| great city to shy at the risk of add-
I mg to her assets by a first-class edu
cational deal, because a great city
knows that however successful she
may be today, decline may set In to
morrow. Years do not stand still, and
cities like Individuals must plan for
the morrow. What Augusta needs
more than anything elso Is alert,
broadminded, trained men and wo
men, and these she can get only
through her schools. We have some
such men and women, hut they will
not stand still either, they pass on
and younger men nnd women must
take their places, and this younger
generation, because time will not
stand still, must he even more thor
oughly nnd hrondly trained than that
which la passing.
Again, Augusta needs sorely, a
greater diversification of Industry,
and diversified industries demand for
their co-operation nnd establishment,
men of diversified training. One
Edison trained In our schools, would
mean more to Augusta than the whole
of the cotton crop of a year or pos
sibly of many yanrs Money spent on
well equipped schools Is not wnsted—
It earns Its own Interest. No one who
knows what thn hlrhmond Academy
has done within tho past ten years
alone, but recognizes Its value to the
community; those who see for them
selves the stand Richmond Academy
boyß are taking In the world outside,
must know thnt tho Richmond Acad- I
cmy Is worth inoro to Augusta thnn
all It has ever cost. Those who plead
for a bettor Richmond Academy thnt
the boys may have a chance have a 1
good elogun. hut a hotter slogan ;
would be—Build a bigger, better Rich- I
mond Academy that Augusta may
have a better chnnco in tho years to
come.

than ever before
Embarrassing eruption had
resisted many treatments
Milwaukee, Wia., May 12:—“A
year ago I had a very ugly and em
barrassing itching rash on my chin.
I tried so many different treatments
on it which did little good, that
finally I became discouraged. The
druggist one day recommended
Resinol Soap and I decided to try it
and after using it less than one
week, the itening and burning
ceased. I thought if the soap alone
could bring such relief, then the
Resinol Ointment must certainly
clear away the trouble entirely.
After applying it for three nights,
you can imagine how delighted I
was to find the rash all gone, with
not even a trace of redne. s left.
I now keep Resinol Ointment
within reach at all times would
not be without it. I find ft very
economical to use, as a little goes
a long way. I have used Resinol
Soap daily and will continue to do
so. My complexion today is better
than ever before, has a healthful
glow and, in fact, is all that it
should be—thanks to your wonder
ful Resinol Soap and Ointment."

No Business Methods Used
By Board of Education
If the citizens of Augusta borrow this $350,000 for
which $240,000 in interest will have to be paid, the
Board of Education promises to build a boys high school
for $300,000 and two county schools for $50,000.
Did the Board of Education keep within its promised
expenditures when building two schools recently one at
Hephzibah and one at Monte Sano ? It did not, It
levied a special tax of $3.00 per thousand, or about $120,-
000, to build these schools and then had to spend more
than $45,000 to complete them. This sum had to be
borrowed and part of it is still unpaid.
That is bad management. The Board of Education
spends $750,000 of the citizens money every year. The
Board should manage its part of the public business with
the same care that a private concern must exercise in
order to be successful. If a private concern is badly
managed, it fails. If the public business is badly man
aged, the citizens pay higher taxes.
Tuesday night was 48 degrees, one
degree lower than that recorded
Monday night, which was 49.

TO THE VOTERS OF RICHMOND
COUNTY:
I want to appeal to every woman and man in
this County that believes in better schools to arouse
their enthusiasm to a point of where they will
realize the great importance of carrying the
school Bond through.
It is absolutely necessary for all of us who
favor it, to not only vote, but to see that our
families and friends do.
Our boys need, and need it badly, the new
building for High School, and we cannot, in my
opinion, do too much for the Rural District in im
proving and building school houses for them.
Friends and Citizens, of Richmond County, let
us not lose this fight. Let every mother and father,
sister and brother, who believes in Free Schools, do
their duty on November the Ist. The opposition in
some quarters is strong. Do not think that it will
bo an easy thing to do. If you are interested, do
your duty as a citizen.
Respectfully,
R. L. CHAMBERS.
