Fac tions headed by John Clark and George M. Troup alternated in controlling the state government machinery. It was not until later that the peorple became divided on political principles, such as the wriff and states rights. “Reetus” points to the fact that the two. political “parties” then existing in‘ Georgia had unitéd on the same candidate for © president—Andrew Jackson—and there was little or no semblance of prineiple separ ating them. l While most Georgians had al peady decided that Andrew Jack-1 . «won was their man for the presi | dency, as against John Quincyl Adams, there alsq were those whol obiected to the violence which| wmetimes characterized attacks upon people of the North? Timesl were hard—a Milledgeville hotel‘ keeper was advertising in the Athenian that due to the "scarc-i ity of money” his rates would be‘ materially reduced, and Athenians vho traveled to the state capitol would be housed and fed at his establishment, along with their horses at $1.76 per day. Supper was, reduced, to 37% cents, lodg ing to 12% cents, and dinner to alcents. \ Sectional Bitterness The hard times were blamed upon the tariff which, in an ear lier day, Georgians had espoused. But now, with thg North growing rich from its protected manufac tres and political agitators, ever ready to make capital out of eco nomic adversity busily engaged surring up sectional animosities, the tariff and the *“Adams men” who supported it, along with the steam-loom and ‘thanks-giving gentry'” of New England were the objects of the maost intense hatred. These New Englanders were angrily characterized by one irate Athenian as “blanket weav ers” raised upon “bad rum and worse molasses, whose chief traf fic is cod-fish and coffins.” On their side, many editors and ;x“‘m“" men in the North and Fast, were using similar language o express their contempt of the Southerners, And these words tarried the seeds of a bloody sec tional encounter, which almost re sulied a few years later. Indeed, in the year 1828, the editor of the »\HN-_m.m. was becoming appre “isive lest “some political in cudiary’—might “kindle a flame Jat blood alone can quench.” (To Be Continued.)

HAROLD OLIVER (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON — (#) — An as sertion that ‘ample evidence” al ready is available that recovery ad ministration codes have been “promoting monopoly” was thrust by Senator Borah, Republican, Ida., Saturday into the widening debate over NRA continuance. President Roosevelt worked on a special message to be transmitted on Monday, recommending a one vear extension of the recovery act with authority for extending it ano ther year if necessary. Borah made his statement in an interview after a senate judiciary 'lsub-commlttee, of which he is a member, opened and quickly closed Ithe doors on an unofficial inquiry }'into ' charges that codes have op rpressed independent business. It was described only as a “prelimin "ary cancellation,”” The investiga- I-.tlon has not been authorized by the senate. “Of course I am glad the investi gation is going forward,” Borah said. “We cannot have too many facts, but there is already ample evidence at hand that monopoly under NRA is draining the pockets of the average man in the United States through price-fixing. “If the farmer gets a raise, he also gets an increase in prices for the things he has to buy, If labor gets a raise in wages, he more than pays it out on account of the in- (Continued on Page Five.)

Trenchard and the jurors who condemned Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann to die in the elec tric chair was received at the exe cutive office Saturday as prison doors closed on the man convicted of Kkilling the Lindbergh baby. Hauptmann, the silent German carpenter who said he would go to the chair “like a man,” entered the death house at New Jersey state prison still pleading he was inno cent of any part in the kidnaping and Kkilling of Charles A. Lind bergh, ir. The big steel door closed behind him at 10:33 a. m.

TURNER ' (Associated Press Staff Writer) WIASHINGTON — (#) — T h e national capitol Saturday night keyed itself up to a suspense filled week-end, firmly convinced that the long-waiteq supreme court gold decision will be handed down on Monday. : The last two Saturdays had brought announcement that the verdict would not come on the fol lowing Monday ppinion days. Sat urday, the court departed from that newly established precedent. It met, consulted, and left the capitol without authorizing a statement of any kind. The absence of what had thus be come a customary announcement was quickly interpreted as meaning the decision would surely come on Monday. This belief had root in official quarters also. Attorney General Cummings cancelled railroad reser vations for Florida late Saturday, He had planned to leave today for Palm Beach for a brief vacation but upon learning that no announ cement on the caess had been made he quickly changed his plans.
