Why Prosperous Men
Sometimes Seek
Business Partners.
Sometimes a man becomes
tired of ’’the eternal
grind’’ and wants a part
ner to help lighten his
labor.
Generally he requires some
one with capital, as well
as personal services, to in
vest. Thus is close inter
est and 00-operation assur
ed.
Again, a man will have a
successful business which
requires only a little added
capital to increase its earn
ings materially. This is no
uncommon situation in
which a partner is sought
—and the opportunity sel
dom needs a second offer
ing.
Past experience has prov
ed that Augusta Herald
"Want Ads" provide such
opportunities in surprising
abundance. Under the
heading "Business Opportu
nities” many trustworthy
people present, their prop
ositions through these col
umns. .
Also, men seeking part
nerships in some particu
lar business find it to their
advantage to make known
their requirements in the
same manner. If you are
looking for a partner or
seeking an investment,
take pencil and paper this
moment and Jot down what
you are looking for. Then,

Klght new bungalows, which vers
recently built on upper Kills s reet,

Messrs. L. J. Hchaul, Martin At Gar

good white people in this community
would help them.
Tomorrow the men representing the
colored school, which has been turn
ing out preachers and teachers and
domestic science servants, will call
on the citizens. If each will give
something their desire will be accom

will be saved from embarrassment —
and an Augusta institution, too, which
has been engaged and which is still
engaged in the best business in the
world —the business of making men

MEMBERSHIPS
“Get a Member” is Slogan
Passed Around in Wind-Up of
M. & M. Campaign.
Quite a number of the active helpers
in the present membership camp-iign
to raise $15,000 and give Augusta the
most modern type of community-build
ing organization, even aside from iheir
regular team work have, In the ordi
nary course of their daily affairs
taken the time to speak the word to a
fellow citizen and request him to sub
scribe at least for an individual mem
bership.
It has been suggested that If one
hundred men already members of this
new association, would just take the
personal interest to get one or two
members, the campaign could be
wound up in the next few days. The
few minutes taken from business from
day to day to interest a fellow citizen
in this movement for the benefit of
all would mean a big aggregate in
crease if one hundred men were doing
It.
For the past few days team captains
and members of teams have been turn
ing in a membership or two and at tho
meeting of the directors Friday even
ing one member turned in two new
subscribers. If the men who are giv
ing the largest amount of time to this
cause can do these things, certainly
the average Augusta business man
should show enough interest In the
common welfare to see some fellow
business man and at least put -he
question. Having become a member
he should feel that this is his associa
tion.
“Get a member" should be the word
passed around to everybody. Get the
“Minute Man" habit and feel called
upon to respond and Rive at least this
slight assistance to the men who a'e

HENRY PHIPPS.
Washington. —Members of the

vinced that Henry C. Phipps is not
the unnamed "aged millionaire" re-j
ferred to by President J. M. Flan ;

pany, in announcing the mysterious
fihilanthropist's plan to erect twenty
hospitals at a cost of $15,000,000 for
tlie free treatment of cancer by ra
riura. The fact that Henry Frick has
refused to either deny or affirm that
he is the benefactor has caused tho
committee members to believe that
th Pittsburg steel magnate Is un
doubtedly not the man who intends to
dispose of a fortune in benefiting hu
manity to such a great extentn.
