MAY NOW MOVE
GA. INFIRMARY
AN EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO GET THE TRUSTEES TO MOVE
TO ANOTHER SITE.

Negro Hospital Retnrds Improve
ments in Its Vicinity, 1t Is Claim
ed by Those Who Want to See Ii
MOved-Since Trustees Have just
Sold Lot of Land at Present Site,
1t Is Thought They Could More
Easily Be Induced to Move.
The sale by the board of trustees of
some of the land belonging to the Geor-
gia Inf1rmary to the Little Sisters of
the Poor, will probably result in an eff
fort being made to have the infrmary
moved from its present location on
Abercorn street to some other section
of the city.
The moving of the infirmary was agi-
tated about a year ago, but nothing
was accomplished. Those who desire
to have it moved will take the matter
up again now, it is understood, since
the sale has been made.
The infirmarY now has far less land
at its present location. and it will not
be so difficult to get the trustees to
decide to move it. it is thought. A
ready sale could be found for the land
that still belongs to the infirmary, and
more commodious quarters could be
erected elsewhere.
Barrier to improvements.
The inf1rnary in it's present location
IS a barrier to improvements in that
section People object to living next
to a negro hospital and very few
houses have been erected in the dmme-
date vicinity. Those interested in the
improvement of that section have for
a long time desired to see the institu-
ton moved. Several efforts have been
made to accomplish this, but so far
they have been unsuccessful.
Those interested in getting rid of the
inf1rmary will probably find a pur-
chaser for the present site, if the trus-
tees will consider moving. Some con-
tend that it will mean much to the in
stitution as we'll as to the neighborhood
to move. With the price obtained for
the land a hospital with all the mod
ern conveniences could be erected.
City Might Help.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that he
heartily approved of the suggestion to
move the infirmary. He stated that he
believed the city would donate land for
a site out near the OgeeChee road, if
the infirmary would move there.
He could not promise this absolutely.
but he said he thought Council would
do so. Property in the immediate vi
cinity of the infirmary is not near SO
valuable now as other South Side prop
erty. With the infirmary moved this
property would Immediately increase in
value, and the city would probably
make money by giving the institution a
site elsewhere.

HAULING LABORERS TO THE
COTTON FIELDS.
VaIdOsta Suffering From a Dearth
of Labor.

Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 2O.-There is
great scarcity of day laborers here on
account of the exodus to the cotton
fields, and work in the city of all kinds
is badly crippled. Several contractors
have lost nearly every one of their
hands, while the street gang has dwin-
died down to three men. Recruiters
from the country around are sending
negroes to the fields as fast as they
can be hauled out. Before day every
morning they visit the negro quarters
and get every available hand for work
in the cotton patches. The fine wealth
er for cotton has caused the staple to
open with unprecedented rapidity and
the farmers are trying to get it out
before a rain sets in.

CLOCKS AND CLERKS,
OR HOW THEY WORK 1T.
Conspiracy Between Father Time
and Court House Men.

Conspiracy Between Father Time
and Court House Men.
Is there a conspiracy existing be-
tween Father Time and the officials
who toll in the Court House?
This is the question that has been
worrying the visitors to the seat of
justice in Chatham county. And the
answer is given is that it is either
that, or the jewelers. have formed such
a conspiracy to aid the poor, over
worked Court House officials.
The whole trouble is with the clocks.
The great clock that furnishes the
time for the people of Savannah from
its position of eminence above the
Court House is just seven and one-half
minutes fast. The smaller clock, bear
ing the conspicuous label in white and
blue, Regulated hourly by Western
Union Telegraph Co." that hangs in
the corridor on the first floor, is just
seven and one-half minutes slow. This
difference of time is a pleasure to the
clerks in the Court House.
When they go to work, it is rumor-
ed, they go by the time Of the small
clock in the corridor, and thereby save
seven and one-half minutes. When
they knock-off for dinner they quit
by the big clock above the Court House
and thereby gain another seven min
utes and half. Total time saved,
fifteen minutes.
When the dinner hour is over, they
return to work by the small clock in
the corridor, and thereby add seven
minutes and q half more to the time
saved. Total, twenty-five minutes and
one-half. When the evening hour rolls
around, they stop by the big clock
above the Court House and another
seven minutes and a half is chalked up
to their credit. Total saved for each
day, one-half an hour.
Now to larger figures. With one-half
hour to their credit each day, at the
end of the week they have saved six
times one-ltalf hour, or three hours.
AT the end of a month, allowing TWEEN
ty-siX working days to the month, they
have saved seventy-eight hours. At
the end of a year, allowing twelve
months to the year, they have saved
1886 hours Allowing them only the
meager compensation of the ordinary
iaborer, 10 cents an hour, they have
earned through that admirable clock
system, 1913 go. All of this is addi-
tional pay. pay for doing nothing except
seeing that clocks do not keep the cor
rect time.
Allowing for only twelve employees at
the Court House, a very small al
lowance, the total amount paid would
be $1,12320. Thus it is that the Court
House clerks figure it is well that
Father Time smiles upon them And
the motto deep engraven on Zach of
their hearts, is thine and tide wait
for no man. but clocks do, if that man
be a Court House clerk"
