To Establish Maternity Hospital


Arrangements have been completed
for free maternity service at the
Mary Fletcher hospital, Burlington.
The directors of the hospital have recog-
nized the need of such a service for
some time but it is only within short
time that funds have been available to
maintain such a service.
The establishment of free ward for
maternity cases will meet great need
of the poor people of the state. There
has not been a free maternity hospital
in the state and no place where the
deserving poor could be cared for.
There will be ward with seven beds.
a large room with four beds, a small
room with one bed, maternity room,
and nursery: also a diet kitchen, linen
closet, toilet and bath rooms, etc, in
fact, everything that is provided in
modern maternity hospitals. Patients
in this department will be served the
same quality of food and have the same
care as patients in any other part OF
the general hospital, Notwithstanding
the fact that the service is free. No
charge of any kind will be made and
women in every condition OF life who
need gratuitous service will be admit
ted. Preference will be given to patients
from the state but patients from with
out the state will be received when
conditions will admit

Since the days when Scott divided

The final chapter in the romance
was enacted on a Central of Georgia

the Chatham Artillery. This question
arose when the plan of dividing the
battery first was considered. There
was unanimous opposition to doing
anything which would necessitate a
change in name. 1t will be possible,
however, to divide the battery with
out changing the name. and this will
be done
The Chatham Artillery now has an
enlistment of approximately 175 men.
1t is believed the proposed division
will be beneficial to the battery in
many respects. 1t will furnish the
State with another unit in this branch
and will in addition stimulate friend
ly rivalry among the two local bat
teries With this rivalry for suprem-
acy in enlistments, points Of merit in
craftsmanship, etc. the entire organ
ization will be elevated TO higher
plane of efficiency.
Just as soon as the necessary for
malities for making the division have
been complied with, the selection Of
the men who will compose each bat
terry will be made. These will be
made by the commanding officers Of
the two batteries. the selections to be

SAVANNAH To
RENOVATE ITS
CITY MARKET
Building To Be 0verhauIed and
Sanitary Conditions Mate
rally Changed.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 27.-An inn
provement in the meat situation in
Savannah is promised as the result
of the agitation for better food con-
ditions. The city market is to be
completely overhauled, The City En-
gineer has been instructed to prepare
plans for the work so that it can go
forward with as little delay as posi-
BILE.
All Of the dirty and Anticipated
equipment now in use will be re-
moved. and in its place will be in
stalled modern sanitary fixtures. The
market will be thoroughly reno
waited from one end to the other.
There will be marble OF some other
equally satisfactory material for
counters. A new refrigerating sys-
TEN will be put in. ARRANGEMENTS
will be made for screening the stalls,
and the butchers will be required 10
use clean chopping blocks and tools.
There is practically no equipment
in the market at present that can be
utilized in the new market. Unless
the butchers are prepared to prop
erly equip their stalls, they viii not
be allowed to do business. An ap-
preparation to cover the cost OF the
Improvement will be carried in the
budget, which will be prepared in
December.
In the meantime the city inspectors
will see that the market is conducted
in as sanitary a condition as possible
under present conditions. A new
meat ordinance is prepared for pres
entation to City Council. This ordi-
nance will require the health depart
ment to keep closer watch on the
situation, and will also make it posi-
BILE for the department to control the
situation. 1t will properly regulate
the slaughter houses and prevent
them from selling unwholesome meat
in Savannah. In the budget for next
year the health department will
probably be given larger approprla :
ton to allow for the employment Of
additional inspectors.
State Veterinarian Pr F. Bahnsen
and State Pure Food Inspector P. A.
Methvin concluded their inspection Of
the places Of the meat dealers early
in the week.

ADOPTED BABE
LOSESHONE BY
. FEAR Of faint
Because of Suspected Negro An
cestry Savannah Child Must
Spend Life With Blacks;

SAVANNAH. Sept. 27.-The sus-
pected faint of negro blood has
forced Thomas Henry Berry, IS
months old. out of a white home ana
has brought sorrow to Mr. and Mrs.
I. H. Berry. of No 81 Harris street
who adopted him at the age of ?
weeks, when his mother said she
could not support him.
They had come to love the babv
and had expected to bring him IN to
manhood as their son, but the implac-
able laws of heredity interviewed. The
child must spend his life with ne
groes
Born in Hospital.
The child was born at the Savan-
mas Hospital in March of last year.
That there might be negro blood in
the child did not occur to Mr.. and
Mrs. Berry when they took him be-
fore Judge Henry McAlpin, in the
Court of the Ordinary, and formally
adopted him. The adoption has not
yet passed through the Superior
Court, but the child was given the
name of Berry. He was calledThom-
as Henry after his adopted father.
Then the suspicion Of negro blood

last summer. He heard one woman
remark to another rs that a white
child?' This was the first suspicion
to reach him that anyone might sus-
pect the little one might be tainted.
After that other hints reached him
and Mrs. Berry They took the child
TO four or five physicians. Each of
them said the boy showed marked
evidences of negro antecedents. So
Thomas Henry was turned over to a
negro woman. who says she WIFI adopt
him. Mrs. Berry has gone to her
people at Augusta for a time.
Named for Berry.
we called him Thomas Henry,
after me-" said Berry "He is a bright
little fellow. Mrs. Berry and I thought
of him just as if he had been our
own. / wish someone could send him
North, He'd have a better chance
there. I wish l could prove whether
there is negro blood in him or not,
but ! can't do it."

She told several stories about her
place of residence when she was in
the hospital at the time of the baby's
birth. She has now left Savannah.

Captain Dayant Will Be First
Major of New Military Unit.
Other Officers Chosen.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 27-Within the
next few weeks the division Of the
Chatham Artillery, forming a second
battery will be perfected. This will
complete a third battery within the
State, giving the National Guard of
Georgia a battalion of three batteries
of field artillery, which is the total of
this branch of the service in the
State.
This division of the Chathams was
made possible when the enlistment of
the battery reached a sufficient num-
Der of men to equiD each battalion
with an enlistment of IS men and
three officers. 1t has been the desire
of the Chathams TO form a second bat
terry for some time. The members of
the organization are enthusiastic over
the success of the undertaking.
In order to complete this division it
will be necessary to promote the Of
ficers according to their rank, each
officer succeeding the officer next in
rank, until the formation has been
effected, when additional officers will
be elected to complete the list. 1t
will require several weeks for this
formality TO be gone through with.
Captain Richard ]. Davant, Mayor
of Savannah who is now in command
of the battery, will be elected major
of the battalion, and as such will be
in command of all the artillery in
Georgia. The completed battalion
will consist of Battery A, the original
Chatham Artillery; Battery B. sta
toned in Atlanta, and Battery c, the
new battery formed from the Chat
hams.
New Officers Chosen.
The officers of the two batteries as
elected are as follows:
Battery Awkward G. Thompson,
captain; George Butler, first lieuten-
ant. and Valentine Seyden, second
lieutenant.
Battery &c. d Wells. captain;
Gilbert Lang, first Lieutenant, and Jo-
seph Fl. Thompson. second lieutenant
Under the regulations a battery of
field artillery is permitted to have
two first and two second lieutenants.
As the Chatham Artillery now exists
there is full complement of officers.
When the division is effected each
battery will have a commanding Of
fcer and two lieutenants. This will
leave two vacancies in each battery.
These vacancies will be filed at any
convenient time.
Following the formation of the bat
terry the election of staff officers will
be in order. There will be a captain
and adjutant and a lieutenant quar-
termaster commissary to be named.
These may be elected from any one Of
the three batteries. 1t is probable that
since Captain Davant is to be pro-
NOTED to be major Of the battalion,
the Atlanta battery will be given
precedence in these appointments.
Historic Name Kept.
While the chatham Artillery will be
divided. the historic name, which has
made this battery famous since Rev
dictionary days viii be retained. Both
local batteries viii still be known as
