you instinctively do it.
She loves to sing, one can see that
and that she puts her whole heart

Augusta Business
Men Meet Tuesday
to Discuss Problems

A largely attended meeting of Au-
gusta business men was held at the
headquarters of the Augusta Cham
Der of Commerce Tuesday evening,
and the men INDUCED in a most
frank and open discussion of the
problems confronting them. The get
together was called by the secretary
of the Augusta Chamber, George c.
Clarke, who presided. Some consid-
Grafton was given the pending bill
before the Legislature, which if
adopted will raise the exemption OF
trustees from $50 to $50 1t was unan-
imously voted to send Mr.. Clarke as
a committee of one. to the committee
hearing at the State House this af-
ternoon to oppose this bill, and the
meeting went on record as voicing
. its opposition.
The matter of Daylight Saving was
taken up and thoroughly discussed.
1t was the sentiment of tie gathering
that the city this year should con-
form to the Standard Time, in so far
as to changing the clock is con-
cerned unless National legislation
should make it otherwise Regarding
the idea of localizing the time of
working hours, it was decided to let
the matter alone and to go on record
| as willing to conform to service as
the people seem to demand.
Secretary Clarke also brought up for
| consideration the matter of the adj
Visibility of attempting to introduce
into the Legislature a bill similar to
the Massachusetts bill providing for
an inexpensive process devoid of red
tape, for the collecting of small
amounts. An excellent talk on this
subject was given by Judge b. F.
Cleaves. chairman of the Public Util-
tiles Commission, and it was voted to
have the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce take the matter up with
some of the local representatives
from this vicinity, asking that some
such bill be introduced.
On the matter of establishing
Credit Bureau among the retail mer-
chants of the city, it was the concen-
Sus of opinion that the matter should
be more thoroughly investigated and
talked up.
The get-together, as a Whole. was
beneficial, all discussions were en-
tered into whole heartedly, and it was
the real kind of meeting that Au-
gusta business men could enjoy.

matter without paying first class post
age on the same. 1t seems that this
has been made what would constitute
a practice and although the postage
has been paid on the other end of the
route, such practice is not allowable
unless circumst ances are such that
sometimes a person might be compelled
to do so. being unable to get postage.

it expected, that persons will indulge
in the practice Of Intentionally depos-
iting first class matter which is not
fully prepaid and consequently the
