GEORGE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
Today the whole nation bows in reverence to the
anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the
first president of these United States. Fitting cele
brations were held by civic organizations, schools,
colleges and universities throughout 'the nation.
His name will ever live in the minds and hearts of
all true Americans and his high ideals and charac
teristics will be the model for future generations to
emulate.
An incident of more than passing interest was
an address delivered by Rupert Hughes, the well
known novelist, before the Sons of the Revolution
in Washington some time ago. Mr. Hughes was
evidently out of sorts, or was suffering from indi
gestion or some other form of distraction. In the
course of his remarks he said of George Washing
ton, "that he was a great card player, a distiller of
whiskey, a champion curser; that he danced for
three hours without.stopping with the wife of his
principal general; that he never prayed and consist
ently avoided participating in communion.” This
terrible indictment, if it may be so termed was not
resented by his hearers, but we presume was ac
cepted as a matter of information on which very
few of the auditors were informed. Granting that
the statements were true, the charges are not so se
rious after all. Ip those days condition,: were quito
different from conditions and customs of the present
time. Distillers were not violators of the law;
cursing was outlawed to some extent, but dancing
was nn more harmful,in,the eyes of the people than
a minstrel show is today. Whether or not George
Washington ever prayed or participated in commun
ion did not detract from his greatness as a soldier
and a leader. Certainly it does not become a num
ber of the present generation to offer criticism of
the Father of this country.

SENATOR WALTER E. GEORGE
United States Senator George was the guest of
the University of Georgia today, being the chief
speaker at the Washington’s Birthday exercises held
at that institution.
Senator George is a graduate of Mercer University
and before his election to the United States senate
his circuit and from that office he succeeded to u
judgeship In the Supreme Court of Georgia and from
that office he was drafted by the people of Geor
gia to succeed the late Senator Thomas E. Watson.
Senator George has made a most enviable record

efits? Day by day, in every way,’ home town mer
chants are contributing of their time, thefr energy
and money to make this community a bigger and
better place in which to live.,
“It is proper and fitting then that wo give more
than a passing thought to the debt we owe the home
town merchant and that we come to the realization
that this debt can be repaid by giving to them the
trade of this community, a trade well earned and
rightfully theirs.
“The truth if the matter is, home town mer
chants are selling gcods at,'or less, than prices else
where, and if we will be fair and include additional
expenses incurred when trading, away we are
bound to admit that it is cheaper to trade at home
besides showing a spirit of reciprocity.”
Trading at homo, is the first principal of loyalty
and good citizenship. If we expect our community
to grow and prosper, every ddllar we spend for
merchandise should be spent with the local mer
chant:. The merchants arc ;the citizens who are
called upon to contribute and aid in all movements
for the growth, development and betterment of the
town or city. If we do our trading out-of-town
we can not hope to build and pfogress. Nothing
detracts and deters more from a community than
does the lack of support cn the part of the citizens
of their home merchants. Let UR hpnv* If, ml«.l
