CHAINSTORES IN
FRANCE CAUSED
REVOLUTION, SAYS
BREWTON IN TALK
- “"Counsolidation of government
and wealth were largely responsi
ble for the civil war and also the
French revolution, and the chain
store monopoly may lead to a rev
mu&n in this country,” declared
William W. Brewton, secretary of
the state independent business
men’s league, in an address here
Friday night to a meeting of the
Llarke County Citizens Protective
League.
¢ Mr. Brewton, who is the author |
of the only biography of the late |
Thomas E. Watson, is se(-retm_\'é
of the Georgia organization fight- |
ing the chain store monopoly. A
sarge crowd heard his :ul(lres.s.(
Swhich was given in the main din-
Eug room at the Georgian Hote!. ’
. Using as a tople, “What s
Coming From ‘the Consolidation of
. Basiness and Wealth,” he asserted
that the main cause of the civil
war was not slavery but that the
puisoligation o 7 usiness and
wealth in the north. While the
north grew more and more into a
convolidated nation, the south
maintained its sovereignty, and
held out against m.nopilies. he
said.
‘Qhain stores were chief causes
of the French revolution, accord
ing to French historians, Guizot,
Caryle., and Thomas E. Watson.
Phillip VI established a chain of
galt stores in 1343, and Louis XV
established a grain store monopoly
in 1771. During these periods peo
ple went begging on the streets
and some of them almost starved
?o;glwant of food because the mo- |
nopolies asked a higher price
than eould be paid by many,” Mr.
Brewton declared. |
_ Thomas Jefferson, while v;\‘h'ms-!
ter to France in 1787 .wrote to!
James Madison, one of the leading '
figures in making the Constitution, |
t:hlch’ was then being framed, |
arning him not to put any law
@ppressive to the poor in the Con- |
stitution. He told of the wretched |
}onqtt!on of the poor in France on |
dccount of hostile legislation and |
jonopolies, the speaker stated. |

Thousands Are Making
Their Plans to “See
America First” Thigs
Summer by Motor
This is the time of year when
the whole family begins to look
forward in eager anticipation to
the summer vacation Whether to
2o to the mountains, the seashore,
the West, the lakes of Wisconsin,
Canada, New England, or the
many splendid resorts of the
South.
The annual family argument
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
over “wiere to go” has to a large
extent been obviated by the auto
mobile and America’s splendid
net-work of good roads. Many
motorists solve the problem by
making a round-trip, taking in
the mountains, the seashores, some
of the large metropolitan eities,
and in this way pleasing all the
family. : T
Since last summer -hundreds of
millicns of dollars have been spent
on the construction of new con
crete and asphalt highways, mak
ing it possible for the motorist to
vacation where he will, with the'
assurance of excellent roads.
No country has as many or]
varied resorts to serve as sum-.
mer playgrounds jfor its people
as has the United States, nor as
excellent facilities for reaching
them. The South itself has many
excellent beaches along the Atlan
tic Seaboard and the Gulf Coast,
beautiful mountain resorts in
Western North Carolina, North
Georgia, and many points of na
tional interset in Kentucky.
For those who wish to take a
longer and more extended motor:
trip, there is the beautiful Pacific!
