Mr. Branch Speaks
Mr. Branch said that it was gratl
- to reflect upon the promptitude
with which the 'anal has been re
paired, the work only requiring about
ene-thirti the length of time con
burned after the flood of I*SS. he
referred to the report of Col. King
man, in which the author ridiculed
Augusta's “paper protection,-’ and
added that the same brought a blush
of shame to the cheek of every pat
riotlc citixeo. ite expressed hl.»
hearty approval ot the mayor's plan
and urged that "official Augusta"
would be as well able to secure ths
co-operation of either national. sta*<
or county authorities in the work ot
providing flood protection as would
a commission from any or all com
mercial organizations of the city.
Mr. Blackshear Objects.
After the second reading of the or
dinanre Mr. Blackshear was given
the floor. He opposed the adoption
of Mr Branch's irdlnance, urging at
tention to the fact that council was
not sufficiently “wide awake" to in
augurate n similar movement before
certain conimercl.il organizations
took the ma'ter actively in hand, and
he proposed as a substitute an or
dinance providing for the appoint
ment of a commission from counril
to confer with the voluntary comnits
slon already appointed. At this point
ho was interrupted by Mayor Dun
bar. who stated that he had *hc mat
ter of a counclltnanlc commission In
mind before act' -n was taken by the
Chamber of ' niwrce
»
"The fact remains however.'" con
tinned Mr. Blackshear, "that thu
commercial organizations of Augusta
did inaugurate the movement " H.
railed attention to the fact that this
< ommUstnn had not ignored he exi
»nce of council, but hat! i*tlttoned
heir advice and counsel. He said
the appointment of a commission by
layer Dunbar would be a slap Ir the

Near the town of Up-Against-it, in the land of Root

We have found our very finest inspiration, you and I.

While our dearest foe, Born-weary, seized wit joy

Yet behind us, unrelenting, drove our heartless mas

As long that stony highway tinder whip and spur we

Bread-and-bntter trudged beside us, with a keen and
ruthless goad,
That should quicken lnlting footsteps if we loitered
