WASHINGTON IN GEORGIA
(NOTE.—The following is the third and
final installment of. this series, ‘Washington
in Georgia,' prepared by Miss A. Laura E.
Blackshear for the Elijah Clarke D. A. R.)
i By A. LAURA E, BLACKSHEAR
I quote here some of Washington's comments:
“Savannah stands on what may be called high
ground for this country. It is extremely sandy,
which makes walking very disagreeable; the
pouses are uncemfortable in warm and windy
weather, because then they are filled with dust.
The town on three sides is surrounded by culti
vated rice fields, rich and luxuriant. The harbor
is said to be very good, and often filled with
square rigged vessels, but there is a bar below,
over which not more than 12 feet of water can be
‘brought, except at spring tides. Rice and tobacco
are the principal exports.” Then he mentions
other exports: lumber; indigo, which is on the
decline; hemp apd cotton; and ship timbeér of live
yoak and cedar, 'whi¢h may become more valuable.
He speaks of the road to Augusta with its pine
barrens; and of occasional oak groves, “not of the
first quality.”
On Monday the party travelled forty-two
~miles, breakfasting at Russell’s, dining at Gar
‘net’s, and lodging at Pierce’s. On Tuerday, Wash
gngton drove seventeen miles to breakfast at
‘Spinner’s, dined at Lambert’s, and lodged at
Waynesboro. Here he observes: “Waynesboro is a
small place, but the seat of Burke county—six or
eight dwelling houses is all it containts. An at
empt is being made to establish an academy iff
it, as is the case in all the counties.”
.. A regiment of Richmend county militia, under
ajor Ambrose Gordoa, met Washington and es
rted him to Augusta.
. On Wednesday, May 18th, 1791, the drive to
gn'eakfnst was fifteen miles to Tulcher’s, within
four miles of Augusta, which at that time was the
capital of the state. Here Washington was met by
Governor Telfair, Judge George Walton, the Attor
ney General, General John Twiggs and the vari
ous state officials, and as Washington related, by
most of the gentlemen of Augusta,” by whom he
‘zvas escorted into the city where he was received
‘under a discharge of artillery. He dined with a
large company ai the mansion of Governor Tel
fair and drank tea, as he said, “with many well
dressed ladies.”
On Thursday, Washington received an address
by Governor Telfair on behalf of the state, an(\an
address from the citizens of Augusta, printed® on
‘parchment and signed by the following committee
of citizens: George Walton, John Milledge, Thomas
Cumming, Peter Carnes, and Seabhorn Jones. To
oth addresses Washington made appropriate re
.. D o
. On Thureday afternoon at four o'clock an ele-
g ant dinner was tendered at the court house, on'
whjch occasion he responded with a toast.
'* In the evening he attended a ball given in his
honor in the reception hall of Richmond Academy,
at which he says, “there were sixty or seventy
well-dressed ladies.” During school hours next
day he addressed the students at Richmond
Academy, and awarded a number of prizes, Agus
tus 8. Clayton, afterwards a member of Congress,
received at this time a copy of Sallust, inscribed
with the President's autograph.
On Friday, Washington viewed the ruins of the
works which had been erected by the Britigh
during the war, and captured by the Americans,
under Henry Lee and Andrew Pickens in 1781. He
also visited the falls two miles above the city.
Here are some of the Preisdent’s comments:
“These falls (as they are called) are nothing
more than rapids. They are passable by boats in
. skillful hands, but may, at very small expense, be
improved by removing a few rocks to straighten
the passage. Above them is.a good boat naviga
tion for many miles, by which produce may be
, transported. At this place the good lands begin
‘and increase in quality to the westward and
northward. All below them, except the lands on
the rivers and rice swamps, the whole country is
pine barrens. The tocwn of Augusta is well-laid
out with wide and spacious streets. It stands on
a large area on a perfect plane—but is not yet
thickly built, though surprisingly so for the time;
for in 1783 there were mnot more than half a
~dozen houses. It bids fair to be a large town, at
‘the head of the present navigation, and having a
fine country back of it for support, which is set
‘tling fast by tobacco planters. The culture of to
~‘bacco is increasing very fast, and bids fair to be
the principal export from the state.”
. That day Washington dined at a private dinner
with Governor Telfair and gave him dispatches
for the Spanish Governor of east Florida, in regard
to the countenance given by Florida to fugitive
slaves of the Union, requesting that arrangements
be made to prevent that evil, and to restore the
slaves to their owners.
On Saturday, May ?21st, 1791, Washington left
Augusta, escorted by the Uovernor and principal
gentlemen of tke city over the bridge across the
Savannah river into South Carolina, where a
committee of prominent men from Columbia met
him and escorted him to that city.
George Walton of Augusta, signer of the Declar
ation. of Independence and twice Governor of
Georgia, was a friend of Washington, and his host
during. the visit to Augusta. Miss Josephine Wal
ton of Augusta, a descendant of George Walton,
told me of Wasghington visit to her illustrious an
cestor. His home, “Meadow Garden,” now owned
by the National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, is located on the banks of
_the Augusta Canal, and has become a shrine of
_ historic interest, perhaps the most noted in the
““state, and hundreds of tourists and other patriotic
citizens frequently visit this old colonial mansion.
s«. “Afterwards, in thinking of his southern to.r,
~George Washington wrote: “I am much pleased
that T have taken this journey, as it has enabled
me to see with my own eyes the situation of the
country through which we travelled, and to learn
more accurately the dispositicn of the people than
I could have done by any information. The country
appears to be in a very improving state, and in
dustry and frugality are becoming more fashion
able than they have hitherto been there. Tran.
quility reigns among the people,,with that dispo
sition toward the general government which is |
likely to preserve it. They begin to feel the goodl
effects of equal laws and equal! protection. The
Jfarmer finds a ready market for his produce, and
the merchant calculates with more certainty on
his payments. Manufacturers have as yet ‘made
but little progress in that part of the country, and
it will probably be a long time before they are
brought to that state to which they have already
arrived in the middle and eastern parts of the
Union.
“Each day's experience of the government of
the United States seems to confirm its establish.
meni, and to render it more popular. A ready
acquiescence in the laws made under it shows in
a strong light the confldct:;ee :;hdicl;n ge v:oi:lls
ve in their representatives, an L _the upr
yiews of thove who. administer the soverament.”

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Even though Governor (Alfalfa Bill)
’.\lm'ra.\', of Oklahoma, did fail to get his
jentrance blank signed and filed before the
closing of the list of entrants for the pres
idential preferential primary, why not put
his name on the ticket ? His candidacy
would not be taken seriously by the voters
of Georgia, but the recognition of his eligi-
Lility by the State Democratic Committee
would set at rest any criticism that might
come from any and all sources. Harmony
in the party, in this and other states, is of
more importance than the ambitions of}
one man and his friends. Governor Mur
ray paid his entrance fee of one thousand
dollars within the time required by the
State Committee, but he did fail to for-|
mally file a signed application. The Dem
ocratic party in Georgia cannot afford to
[hicker over technicalities; with Judge
Howard in the race, it would cost no more
to add Governor Murray’s name to the
ticket. As good fellows, let us be broad
and liberal to our Democratic brother of
Oklahoma, and say to him: ‘“Good and
well, Governor, the primary is open to you
—go after the voters and get all you can.”
His defeat will not be as disappointing to
him and his friends as will be the refusal
of the State Democratic Committee to al
low him to become a candidate for the
Georgia delegation.
TRESPASSING ON RAILROAD
PROPERTY
The number of casualties and deaths oc
curring on railroad proverty during the
vear 1931 is startling. Many of these ac
cidents and deaths arise from the practice
of walking on the tracks and bridges, but
the greatest number occurs from riding
the trucks of freight trains. The “blind
bhaggage” transportation is most danger
nns of all practices to beat the railroads.
People are taking their lives in their own
hands when they undertake to “beat a
ride”’, and yet, in such accidents, often
the railroads are sued for damages and in
many instances, damages are awarded to
the injured.
In a recent issue of the Safety Bureau
of the Sounthern Railway System, it is
shown that in 1931 that there were 146
killed and 201 injured on that railway
alone. Other railroads, no doubt, experi
enced a similar number of accidents and
deaths. ;
“WE ARE STILL PROSPEROUS”
~ In a recent issue of the official publica
tion of the National Editorial Association,
there appeared an editorial of unusual in
terest relating to the period of depression
‘which offers encouragement and confi
|dence in the early approach of better
times. Besides, the editorial brings out
the benefits gained by the people for hav
|ing passed through such unusual condi
tions. The editorial is entitled: “We Are
lStill Prosperous”, and reads as follows:
“As Americans who have emerged from
\a panic, a stock market crash, a depres
sion, let us ask ourselves, have we lost any
thing real? Many of us have less to live
on but more to live for, real giving was
never so spontaneous, real sharing mnever
so much in evidence, real friendship never
so true to the tegt.
“Depressions may affect the price of se
curities, of real estate, of commodities, but
nothing can lower the value of loyalty, or
affect the valiant spirit of co-operation,
the splendid battle ery of “Carry on!”
with which our business organizations and
associates, back up their belief in us, in
better times, in America.
“Market panics may reduce our dollars
and cents capital, they can never reduce
but only add to our faith in the power of
prayer, our trust in divine guidance, our
confidence in God and His government of
His universe.
“Being rich does not mean being great,
either among natoins or individuals, great
ness comes through achievement. Spirit
ual power is the greatness of an individual
or a nation, how right, how upright, how
true, how generous, how noble, — never
how rich. Being something is more worthy
than owning something, giving is far more
courageous just now than giving up.
“Panics may wipe out profits, business
depressions may wipe out dividends; they
cannot touch a man’s greatest possessions,
his courage, honesty, valor, honor. They
orly serve to stimulate stagnant ambitions,
they purge him of selfishness and greed,
they set him about striving for progress
in. ways that matter. His purposeful ef
lforts will achieve still greater things, not
,only for himself, but for America. |
“America was soft, too much wealth
that comes too easily. Her sons and
daughters have a mighty opportunity to
prove the stuff of which Ameriea is made,
to manifest her unconquered spirit, to
show forth her greatness in the face of
adversity. Out of all this, what we are is
of far more importance than what we
have. We can lose what we have, we can
mever lose what we are. Serving is taking
""rs real place at the top of the list. with
sharing a close second,—getting and hav
iinv have gone by the boards.
| “So then, because we have discovered,
‘each for himself, that our spiritual re
sources, our inevitable future progress are
not dependent upon stock quotations or
market trends, let us rejoice that we are
still prosperous, with a lasting prosperity
that can never be taken from us, nor
through us, from America.” ‘
It will be interesting to the readers of
this newspaper tec learn that the author
of the editorial is Herman Roe, editor of
the N. E. A., Bulletin, and a recent visi
tor to this ecity in connection with the
Georgia Press Institute, held at th; Uni
versity of Georgia. '

A Little (;;—Everything,
Not Mucb_g_f- Anything
It is interesting to read the
biographies of Congressmen
and Senators published in the
Congressional Directory. In
many instances, they occupy
lengthy sketches whilé some
few are short and to the
I point.
The records show that the late
Judge Frank Park, of Sylvester,
for terseness and brevity climaxed
them all.. When he was first
elected to Congress he received re.
quest after rcquest for his biog
raphy to be printed in the direc
tory, but he was a man who. did
not crave or care for publicity,
and was loath to reply to the re.
[quest of the directory head. Fi
nally, after receiving an urgent re
quest by wire to furnish the
informiation, at once, Judge Park
replied: “Frank Park, Democrat,
Sylvester, Ga.” And that biogra.
{phy of this great mian was never
changed in the directory so long as
he remained in office.
This writer knew Judge
Park, most intimately, for a
number of years during and
before he became a member of
Congress, He was a man of
’ the highest type of citizenship.
¢« During the notable gubernatorial
campaign of 1906, with five candi
dates in the field for the office of
governor, for the purpose of stem
ming the Hoke Smith tide, a res.
olution was passed by the Stata:
Democratic Committee, incorpomt-‘
ing in the rules, as one of the re
quirements of the party, for a'
pledge to be printed on the official
ballots for voters to take befor.qi
casting their votes, agreeing to;
support the nominee for both|
state and national offices in the|
general election. This resolution |
was strongly opposed by Judge!
Park, and when it had‘’been pass-|
ed over his opposition, he arose!
and warned the members of the
committee what might be expect-!
ed from the others of Georgila,
and declared that he belleved its
enforcement would elect Hoke |
Smith by an overwhelming major
ity—and so it did. l
When the action of the com
mittee became known, Hoke
Smith and the Atlanta Jour
nal denounced it as ‘“gag-rule”,
and from every stump in Geor
gia, Mr. Bmith capatalized on
it and made it an issue. ;
That one rule was more respon.
sible for Hoke Smith's election |
than all other agencies com'ined.|
‘The writer of this column has al
most wvivid recollection of the,
manner and speech of Hoke Smlth|
!when he was attacking the com<
’mittee and showing up the resolu-l
‘tion as purposely intended to de-|
feat him. Correct he was — the|
members of that committee wxere
anti-Smith te the man. Bat, if
the wise counsel of Judge Frank
Park had been heeded, Hoke Smith
‘would have been defeated beyond
a doubt.
| The late Senator Thomas E.
~ Watson was supporting Mr.
~ Smith. He, too, picked up the
~ gauntlet and through his Jef
~ fersonian, he pounded the com
. mittee and lined up his follow
~ ing for Smith.
‘~ Mr. Smith came near carrying
‘every.-county in Georgia. He car
‘ried more counties than any other
candidate had ever carried up to
that time, in popular and unit
‘votes,. but two years later, Gov
ernor Joe Terrell brought out Gov
ernor Smith by an enormous ma
jorfty. ‘“Little Joe” as he was
‘termed, never made a speech dur
'ing the campaign, but he did
write several letters to his “Fel
low Citizens”, published in the
press of the state which seemed
'to have a greater vote getting ef
‘fect than all of the fiery and spec
l-tacular speeches made by Gov
ernor Joseph M. Brown for
governor, who defeated Gov
ernor Smith. But, we haven't room
in this column to go in details
of that memoriable campaign which
stirred the state from the moun
tains to the seacoast.
The wags are telling it at
Harry Lauder’s expense, but
| wager a pretzel he hadn’t a
thing to do with it.
At any rate, the story goes that
Harry was playing golf one bitter
cold day. At the end of the round
he slipt something into the cad
‘die's hand and said gently, “That’s
for a glass of hot whisky, my
ima.n." 1
