1t was voted that the post put on
it's second annual minstrel show III
1922 and preparations will be made
to have this one even better than last
year. Augusta people who witnessed
last years show will agree that this
will be no small task.
A vote was passed to invite the
mayor and the members of the city
government to be present at tho fu-
neral services for the late Fred Free

SUGAR TRUST
Continued from PAGE Onel

safeguards ~ interests of the public
by prohibiting\ the American Sugar
Refining Co. from taking any part
whatsoever in the management of the
National Sugar Refining Co, lac Great
Western Sugar Co. or the Michigan
Sugar Co., being important companies
in which it now owns a minority inter-
est, and further prohibits the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co., directly or IN
directly, from increasing it's proper
tionate interests in any of such conf
panies. The decree further enjoins all
tf the attendants from in any Kramer
whatsoever continuing to carry on the
combination in the marketing of re-
fined sugar which was the subject mat
ter of the petition.
1T is believed that the American
Sugar Refining Co. is no longer a
trust or I onoroly. At the time the
suit was commenced the American and
it's allied interests controlled al out ~
per cent. of the rerned sugar indus
try Of the United States. At the pres
ent time the control OF the American
has decreased to the point where il
now controls about "a per cent. of the
interests. Under the change Of man.
agement of the company. which took
place about the time of the begin
ming of this suit, the company has
since endeavored to comply, with the
law and the governments require
ments. 1t has during recent years
entirely discontinued the practices
which were the cause of the chief COM
plants against it in the suit.
1T is believed that the consumer
or sugar can now rest assured that
competitive conditions in the industry
nave been entirely restored and that
the price he Bays for his sugar IN
the future will be the result of nat
ural, unrestrained competition The
consequence of this decree which fl
nally disposcs of such long standing
litigation will doubtless prove bene-
fetal to all the branches of the sugar
industry in the country, including
both cane and beet sugar industries
in the United States, and it is hoped
that 1t will be of some benefit to the
worldwide raw sugar situation, in

"I Haven't Much
But I'd Like to HEIDI"

1t was a district of modest homes
in Augusta. One of the Woodworking
solicitors aiding the 14th Annual Seal
Sale knocked upon door, and it was
opened by little girl The health
worker pleasantly explained to the
child the plan to secure health
nurse for Augusta, and askel if she
would care to contribute by buying
some of the stamps.
The little one thought for a mo-
ment. I'm all alone here" she said,
"But I'd like awfully well to help out
bnly-only-I haven't much money
She hesitated. would you be
willing to sell me just one stamp"
she said, "Just so I can feel I'm
helping out a little?"
Certainly" replied the worker, and
detaching a single stamp from a
sheet, she gravely gave it to the child
and received a penny in return.
And the act of that little girl meant
much, very much more than just the
money to the Health Crusader, for it
gave a new sense Of resoluteness and
determination to succeed that health
work in Augusta might become a
fact.

around Is-Sur-T Tile in the period
from April to June, 1919.
In no instance could the witness
say whether any or all of the II had
been tried by a military court. Be
cause of the evident physical weak
ness of the witness. Senator Watson
suggested that Army officers, incllid-
ing Col. Walter Bethal. associate
judge advocate general. retire from
the room, explaining trat Taylor was
subject to epileptic attacks and that
the presence of officers might disturb
him. But the former soldier an
nounced that he wanted the officers
to remain.
Testimony by Henry r. Scott, %
years old. of Kenmore, Ohio, that he
had, seen two soldiers shot down In
cold blood, by Major Opley," COM
mander of the Bird battalion. 10th
Infantry brought a quick and sharp
denial from Major Hiram l.. Opie,
who was in charge Of that organiza-
ton. and who announced that he
would be glad to go before the COM
mittee. Scott was positive in the
assertion that he saw both men kill
ed, at different times that the first
shooting of a courier was witnessed
by several hundred men and that he
alone saw the second.
Having Major Opie in mind as
commander of the battalion, Col
Bethel pressed the witness closely as
to the spelling. of the name and la
ter informed Chairman Brandegee
privately that Scott evidently was
referring to the Virginian. But Scott
stuck to "Opley." II
In making sweeping denials of the
charge, Major Opie, declared in a
statement that Scott writes himself
down as skulker by his own testi-
mony," that he belonged to another
outfit and never should have been in
the fighting line with the Third Bat
talon.
Although he did not know of his
own knowledge of any executions
without trials, Robert A. Harrison, of
(, Wilmington, North Carolina, told the
committee 'he had witnessed two
. lynchings." one conducted by Hard
/ boiled" Smith. The soldier, he said,
| was put to death, for refusing TO
| sweep the stockade with a tooth
brush that the killing, as he remem-
| bered. took place on December "a,
| 1918 at 7.30 o'clock in the evening, and
that he saw the lynching from dis
/ lance of 800 yards. The other man
I iynched, he said, was a Mexican, who
was strung from a tree by officers
and men for a crime committed
against a woman.
! In an effort to clear up what he re-
garded as the confusion in Taylor's
| testimony, Chairman Brandegee sug-
gested that Col. Bethel question the
witness concerning the twelve execu-
tions he claimed to have seen with
his own eyes. Early in the hearing
| Col. Bethel filed with the committee,
the official war department list OF
eleven executions with places and
dates, emitting only the names out of
consideration for the families OF the
