AUGUSTA LOCALS.
THE PARK QUESTION.
Views of Alderman Skehan, as Ex
pressed at Meeting Monday Evening.

AT the regular meeting of the City
council Monday evening, among the
many other matters which came up
was that of the proposed purchase of
the Fort Western and Driving park
property, and following are the re-
mark Of Alderman w. ]. Skehan on
the subject:
The subject of proposed park sys-
TEN for the city Of Augusta is one
which must be Of great Importance
TO every citizen, whether viewed from
the benefit to be derived when obtained
or the sacrifice to be made III the OBJ
tanning.
The arguments in favor of such a
system are familiar to all but the i'm
portant question in this proposed park
in a city such as Augusta, = whether
those parks are a necessity or Il luxury.
If a necessity, then we must have
them and the only question is the
method. If a luxury the only ques-
ton is can We afford it?
But to separate the two propositions,
the Driving park and the Fort Western
property.
Now if We take the Driving park
proposition as a public park, for the
public. paid for by the public, to
be used by the public, | assert il has

Your lntestines are lined inside with

history, or In the history Of any other
nation, has q people enjoyed more abound

prosperity so general that 1t should arouse
in us no spirit Of reckless pride. and least
Of all. a spirit Of needless disregarded of
our responsibilities: but rather a sober
sense of our many blessings, and a res

forfeit them by any action Of our own.

the foundation Of true national great

morality. or else our prosperity itself
Will In the long run turn out a curse
