PLAN A WHIRLWIND WIND-UP
CAMPAIGN FOR WEDNESDAY
To Gomplete Raising of $15,000 For M. & M.—Also to Out.
line Program of Work For 1914—T0 Fix Expense Bud
gets For All Departments.
In a final effort to place fully upon
its feet she Institution, which under
proper co-operation, cun make tall
the greatst year In the history of Au
gusta. all forces of the Merchants
and Manufacturers' Ansoclstion will
be called upon to assist in the pro
gram of the coming week. There
are a multitude of details ant small
matters to be taken care »f. but in
brief the big main thing which it is
hoped will be accomplished are as
follows:
Complete the raising of the Tull
$15,000 in operating capital. Not
unlike any first-class business insti
tution, an efficient commercial ot»
conization must have a sufficiency ot
operating capital to produce the real
results that are possible when such
is in hand.
Outline the program of work for
the year 1914 is ths second important
thing. Yesterday the same referen
dum which was sent to all members
a short time ago was mailed out
again, requesting those who had nol
responded to express themselves.
Out of this consensus of ideas thuj
gathered the program of work is to
be formed. Every member of the M.
& M. Association should co-operate
with the management to the extent of
filling out and sending in his refer
endum.
Next in order comes the fixing oT
the expense budgets for all depart
ments. Mr. McKeand stated a day or
two ago that it was absolutely nec
essary to first outline the program
of work, in order to intelligently out
line the budget of expense.
Meanwhile the office system and
equipment and all other details nec
essary to the building up of a good
first-class headquarters will be look
ed after by the secretary of the de
partment of organization affairs. The
collection of statistics and other such
matters are already under Way, and
the new organization will soon get
out a piece of literature suitable for
general purposes. This will not be
elaborate, but will contain the items
of valuable information which our
own people generally are none too fa
miliar with, and which the outside
public want to know.
Aa Modern as Any.
Augusta will then have a type of
commercial organization as modern
as any in the South, and one which
In Three Sleepers Advertising
Augusta, Shriners to Go to the
Imperial Council Meeting in May
Proceeds From Lecture By William Bruce Leffingwell at the
Grand Opera House Tomorrow Night Will Be Used Toward
Defraying Expenses of Trip to Atlanta. To Use “Movies.”
The local Shriners’ •Club of Augusta,
“Okad Sons of the Desert," have se
cured William Bruce Leffingwell, that
celebrated author-traveller-lecturer,
who will give his Illustrated lecture
with motion pictures and colored slides
“Across the Continent to the Golden
<3ate,” Monday evening, March 2nd.
‘Tickets may be secured of any shriner,
the Ladles of The Eastern Star, or at
the following places of business:
Ooetchius Bros, Schweigert’s. How
ards No. 1, Howards No. 2. F. G. Mer
lins, Albion News Stand, Watson Drug
Co.. Schauls, Tessier's Pharmacy,
Matheny's Pharmacy, and the Opera
House Box Office.
This Is a benefit number for the local
shrine club, and is for the purpose of
raising funds to enable them to pro
cure Inexpensive uniforms, banners,
pennants, etc,, for the trip to Atlanta,
Ga., In May of this year. The Imperial
Council A. A, O. N. M. S. will be in
session on May 13-14, and every Shrine
Temple In the U. 8., as well as outside
Temples will be represented, each will
parade In their uniforms and regalia,
and will advertise the towns and cities
from which they come.
27,000 Shriners to Attend.
Here is the calculation of the Atlan
ta committee as to accommodations
for visiting Shriners from a distance:
In hotels 6,000, in Ponce de Leon En
campment 7,000, in the homes of At
lanta Shriners as guests 6,000, In
boarding houses 1,600, in the clubs 500,
in private cars parked 2.00 Q. Total
27,000. More thousands of Shriners
and non-Shrlners will make their stay
with relatives or close friends, or will
spend their nights In neighboring
towns and cities within a couple of
hours’ ride to Atlanta.
The local Shriners are a small num
ber, exceeding very little over 100, but
ns one of the new recruits has put it,
"We won’t to at all if we cannot go
right.” The Shriners hope to charter
three sleepers for three days, as It Is
not possible to secure any hotel ac
commodations In Atlanta for this oc
caiLn. They will live In these cars uu
til their return to Augusta. The cars
must be decorated with decorations
that will let all know that they are
from Augusta. They say they must
have these uniforms, baners and pen
nants and are asking the Augusta pub
lic to patronize this lecture to enable
them to advertise Augusta as she
should be advertised during this great
occasion They do not ask for dona
tions to aid them In defraying this ex
pense, but do ask their friends to pat
ronize the lecture on the evening of
March 2nd.

will be given due attention.
Mr. Augusta Citizen are you think
ing about these matters —are you
getting raady to do your share in this
Greater Augusta Movement for 1914.
Augusta can only become a city of
opportunity In the real sense when
by organized and co-operative effort
its citizens make it so. Talk never
turned the world over, but work will
do wonder*.
The program for the coming week
is as follows:
Important meeting ot the hoard of
commissioners Tuesday to formally
adopt by-laws and attend to other vi
tal business. There may be a meet
Ing of the credit and collection di
vision of the retail department also
on this date.
Whirlwind Wind-Up.
Wednesday is to be made the day
of the whirlwind wind-up ot the mem
bership campaign. Meanwhile the
details for this one-day campaign are
being worked out and it Is hoped to
get some forty or fifty men to go out
for at least on hour on that date.
A special meeting of the ways and
means committee may be necessary
Wednesday just preceeding the im
portan meeting to come the following
day. The board of commissioners
may have a number of important
items to refer to the governing com
mittee at large by that time.
Thursday evening there will be a
mass membership meeting to discuss
and adopt the program of work and
approve the expense budget. In other
words it will be the formal turning
on of the power in the new plant,
which is to be the guardian of Au
gusta’s progressive welfare for the
year 1914. And making this present
year a big period of progress means
the building a Greater Augusta for
the years to come.

Aside from the conversational pol

slides that accompanied, the course
were marvelously tinted and repre
sented the highest plane of stereopti
con art. The lecture was in Itself com
plete and a gem of unusual brilliance.
The applause that burst out many
times was sufficient evidence of the
impression the charming lecture made
upon those who were prlvlledged to
hear It.
