\fter having disposed of com
mencement exercises on August 6,
128, the visiting Georgians met at
the college chapel to protest
against the tariff which was
qrousing the entire South “to bit.
ter resentment against the admin
istration at Washington.
The meeting was opened by
Judge Augustin Clayton, at that
time Athens’ only lawyer, a man
who had moved to Athens with
his voung bride shortly after his
oraduation from Franklin college
in 1804, Judge Clayton was active
in politics. a strong Jackson sup
porter, and for a long time a mem
per of the board of trustees and
the prudential committee of the
Univrreity. :
with the meeting organized
wm. H. Crawford, then retired
from active participation in the
arena of mational politics, was
elected chairman. In 1824, Craw
sord was a candidate for the presi
dency, but due to a paralytie
stroke. did not push his candidacy.
When the election was thrown
into the house of representatives,
John Quiney Adams was his pref
erence. But now, after four
years of Adams, he was for An
drew Jackson. In 1828 he was
judge of the northern circuit of
the superior court, then compris
ing a much larger areg than now.
A committee was named by the
mass meeting to prepare resolu
tions on th tariff. Among the
counties represented on the -com
mittee wera Greene, Oglethorpe,
which was represented by George
R. Gilmer, who afterward hecame
sovernor; Baldwin, Hancock, Mor
can. represented by Wilson Lump
kin, and Laurens, represented by
(eoree M. Troup, leader of one of
the two contending factions in
Georgia state polities.
After naming a committee on
resolutions the meeting adjourned
until the néxt day when about one
thousand people assembled at the
college chapel. The white populas
tion of Athens was less than 'sit
hundred at - thate » tithe, counting
men. women and children, so it is
,pparent that hundreds
of visitors were, here for com
mencement ‘ag - wel (ggtostake
part in the wvarious group discus
wins concerning the politics of the
dav. Political leaders were here
from every section of the state, for
it was, indeed, a time of ‘political

Meet at City Hall
~Tomorrow Night
A decision having been given
late yesterday by the board of
commissioners against appropria«
tion of $3,000 from the Clarke
county treasury to complete the
American Legion Community Cen
ter on Lumpkin street, the Legion
board of directors last night call
ed a meeting so citizens for to
morrow night to determine what
course shall be pursued to raise
the local amount necessary to
matech a federal grant of SIB,OOO.
The commissioners, in declining
to appropritae SB,OOO to the fund,
agreed to call an election for the
purpose of issuing bonds in that
amount and for the purpose of
completing the Community Center,
if they are petitioned to do so.
The actipn of the boad yesterday,
followed megotiations carried on
between - it and a group of citie
zens for the pupose of obtaining
from the county gn appropiation
of $3,000, which would be follow
ed by a request that the city ap
propriate a similar amount. With
$6,000 appropriated by the city and
county, the gcitizens group could
obtain $6,500 from private sub
seriptions, more than $5,000 of that
‘amount, having already been un
derwrittien, contingemt upon ‘the
commissioners acting favorably.
In its reply to the decision of
the commissioners, the Tegion
board of directors, of which D.
Weaver Bridges is chairman, ob
jected to a bond election, because
it would cause too much delay and
would cost the county from S3OO
to SSOO.

jzens for tomorrow mnight at 8
o'clock at the city hall, the Legion
board of directors declares, the

Gate, the bottleneck in the river
between New York Bay and Long
Island Sound, Lake will g 6 to
work. But he cannot anchor. his
three vessels in ice floes lest they
pile up more ice.
Legend says that the gald is
there, ~that the $4,000,000 was

“Hexed”’ Older Brother
Uses Butcher Knife on
8-Months’ Old Baby
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, — (A —
The butcher knife slashing of an
eight-month-old baby spurred au
therities today to reopen their cam
paign aginst “witch doctors” and
“hex spells” in the Pennsylvaw®
Dutch country. :
Victim of the latest “pow wow,”
little James Leroy Fritz was given
a chance to live today by physicians
of the hospital where he was taken
after his forehead was slashed wi;h
a butcher knife yesterday by his
“hexed” older brother,
Preparing to appéal to the state
department of health for an in
vestigation, Disritct Attorney John
C. Youngman told how the baby
was brought close to death as words
were mumbled low and ‘devils”
were, cast out.
The “spell” was invoked, he re
ported, in the Fritz’s humble home
at Salladsburg, fifteen miles from
here.
It all began, the father explain
ed, when his oldest son slashed the
baby’s forehead on Sunday night
with a penklife.
‘A “mischievous devil” was at
work, the parents decided, so they
called in the *“witch doctor” for a
“pow wow.” |
After mumbling a ritual, the
“doctor” declared the boy “cured
by faith” and ordered him left
alone with the baby.
While the parents watched
through a window, the ‘“‘cured” lad
picked up a butcher XKknife and
slashed his brother again. They
rushed back to the room and found
the older lad ‘“remorseful” behind
the kitchen stove.
Many tragedies dot the pages of
“hex’” history, which dates back to
the orign of superstitution itself.
. There was Nelson D. Rehmeyer,
of York, for example, who was
beaten to death by John Blymyer
because Blymyer thought a lock of
hair from the old man’s head bur
ied under eight feet of earth, would
break an imagined “spell.” Rehy
meyer who believed in his reputed
“powers,” refused to give up the
hair,
The ‘pow wow” ritual has been
accepted as gospel through the

WASHINGTON — (&) — A two
year extension of the National Re
covery law with its ‘“fundamental
purposes ‘and principles”’ renewed
was reconimended to congress to<
dky by President Roosevelt. :
In a special message, Mr. Roose

be allowed ‘‘unquestioned power” te
establish “certain minimum stand

No Child Labor

“The rights of employes freely.to

“The fundamental principles .of

“Monopolies. and . private price

But in the case of sych mnatyral

“In the development of this leg

GERRAPPROVES d
CLARKE PROJECTS
Work on Projects Start
Around March 1, Miss
Alvaretta Kenan Says
Work on thre projects in Clarke
county will be started soon through
the Georgia Emergency Relief Ase
sociation, it was learned today.
These pojects have been approv-«
ed by Miss Gay Shepperson, head
of GERA in Georgia, and the local
office has received notice to start
as soon as possible. Miss Alvaretta
Kenan, local administrator, said
work would not get underway un
til March 1, !
The notice from Atlanty received
by the Banner-Herald read that
funds had been provided for cons
tinuing the operation of the press
ing plant on the grounds of the
University of Georgia. The work,
the notice read, includes grading
the site and providing for addi
tional space for cooling and cute
ting roomsg and offices.
Miss Kenan said that no notice
that the plant would be operated
again had been received here. It
is believed that the funds were for
over-expenditures from the plant
when it was being operated.
Other projects aproved are im
