Globes Now Being Placed
on Poles Along. Broad St.
Will Be Finest White Way East of Rocky Mountains.
Now Making Plans to Celebrate When Lights
Are Switched ors
The first globes for tire new
white way lighting units were put
Up Wednesday afternoon rind con
siderable progress was made on the
job during Thursday.
Citv Electrician D. H. Snider said
Thursday that it would probably
lie now only about ten days before
the work would he completed nnd
ready for Augusta's chief thorough
fare to blaze forth in all its noctur
nal glory with the first really in
tensive white way system to l>e
completed east of the Itoelty Moun
tains. All of the necessary ma
terial has arrived and practically
everything except the finer finish
ing work is done.
It is understood ns highly proba
ble that some kind of celebration
appropriate to such an nusplcious
occasion will be arranged for the
first night Broad Street will be il
luminated by the new system. The
Presidents' Club will meet in the
rooms of the Board of Commerce
Friday evening for the purpose of
going into tentative plans for the
celebration an dto work out actual
plans for a big program of exer
cises. All the civic clulis of the
city .it is understood, will have a
part in the program that may he
decided on and it is being generally
talked that a really big affair Is in
process of perfection.
Recorder’s Court Had Heavy Flood of
Society’s Flotsam and Jetsam at the
Session Friday Morning
Amid the flotsam and jetsam
washed onto the shores of the po
lice barracks and salvaged in the
Recorder's court are many strange
packages from the human drift and
derelicts, some of them with a ve
neer of comedy covering the base
of misfortune, many of them with
im underlying pathos nnd tragedy
(hat reveals a one-time home gone
"on the rocks” and its members
scattered to the four winds, as It
were, of fortune's abandon. The
blue-eyed babe that once nestled
close to a loving mother's breast
and cooed Its smiles into lier glad
dened face, through the years ap
proaching to maturity, has gone
adrift and perhaps, more often
than otherwise, strands on the
shores where the blue-coated
guardians of the peace are ever
alert and on the wateheut to do a
good turn for some down-and-out
or avenge infractions of the law.
Wednesday morning a young
white man, 17 years of age, with
frank open countenance, deep blue
.eyes and light and auburn hair was
haled before .ludge Kent charged
with disorderly conduct. It de
velop from testimony of police of
ficers that this young man is one
of the floating army of sleepers,
that nightly come to the police and
ask for a place to sleep and are
given quarters in the cell room.
During the night he was discover
ed rambling about the room and
outside and in some manner set the
■goings agoing' and a call box bell
was rung. He had been warned
not to tamper with anything.”
The boy pleaded guilty to the
charge and said In defense, ‘T
might have done it, what they say,
hut I didn’t know what I was doing
I reckon.” In answer to questions
from the court the boy said that ho
had come to Augusta from over in
Carolina; in search of work; that
he had no place to sleep, nowhere
to go, and was without funds; his
father and mother have been se
parated for the past six years; he
doesn't know who his father is. and
his mother Is “somewhere in Green
ville.” The rase, against the boy
was dismissed and he was allow
ed to go. maybe to some other
town where he will have to depend
on the kindness of the police for
a sleeping-hit, maybe to land in
some serious trouble that will
mean a “term." Who knows?
,T. T. Walker, alias Williams, was
up on a “p. d.” charge. Sahl his
home was In Greenville, again, in
Warrenville. “Five dollars and
costs or 10 days,” said the judge.
“Tell you this Georgia corn will
sure make a fellow forget where his
home Is,” commented one of the
police officers at court.
A rail came to the police some
time in the ’fore daylight hours of
Friday that “there a men on the
sidewalk In front of the house here
and two men with him.” The po
lice responding to the
ered a man. said to bo named J. I;.
Johns, laying on the sidewalk and
two white men, giving their names
respectively as Ernest Hedrick and
Josh Hodges, were found leaning
over the man on the ground. Hed
rick and Hodges pleaded In ex
tenuation that they were “trying
to find their way hack to the ear
from the show grounds.” They
were strangers here and their story
didn’t appeal to the leniency side
of the Court's nature.
The men were formally charged
with “being out after hours and
being suspicious characters.” They
were strangers hern and their plea
of “not knowing the wav” didn't
appeal to the leniency side of the
court’s nature. Requnl; “Fifteen
dollars and costs or 30 days for
each of you.” J. L, Johns, the
mnn on the sidewalk In the case
forfeited h!s appearance bond pu*
up Thursday night and. didn't show
up for court. He may he “going
yet.”
Wallace Delph, colored, charged
with idling and loitering continu
ously about, the corner of Twelfth
and Jones streets, nnd according to
police officers, having followed this
leisurely occupation for some time,
was assessed “fifteen and costs or
30." •
Mattie Johnson, colored female
citizen of the southern portion of
the city, was called to answer
charges of d. o. nnd firing a. pistol
within city limits. The judge got
tangled on the evidence to some
extent and was forced to despera-'
tlon to “dismiss." However, an in
teresting bit of testimony against
the accused was given by the star
witness on the anti side, Harah
Thomas. The gist of Sarah's testi
mony ngalnst Mattie was that “last
night this girl come to my home
nnd brought some whiskey and
asked me to take a drink with her.

Vnofflcial advices are to the ef
fect that Mayor Julian M. Smith
may start the bright lights shin
ing by throwing the switch himself,
giving not only his official stamp of
approval to the completed installa
tion but lending a bit of the official
dignity of Ills office to its opening.
Business men and citizens hipp -
ing the interests of the city at
heart have hen freely expressing
themselves as to what the new
white way system will mean to Au
gusta. They are all agreed that it
will not only impress visitors with
its beauty but will tend to kindle
anew the civic pride that may bo
lying dormant In a few breasts,
thus waking up the slumbering
portions of the city's population
that might hold ulKuthomable
power for Augusta's advancement.
Mr. sfdder is enthushuftie on the
subject and his great store of
energy has gone into the project
In its full force, nnd to him, citv
officials say, is due, a great deal of
credit for the achievement.
The white way was made pos
sible througrf three separate agen
cies on the financial side: City
Council appropriated ono-tt Ird of
its coat, the business houses on
Broad Stieet contributed one-‘third
and the remaining third was giver,

Electric Corporation.
