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.

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.)
