AN ATHENS CHRONICLE
Number Ten *
in submitting its report to the
targe crowd of Georgians, assem
pled at the TUniversity of Geor
gin chapel on August 7, 1828 to
condemn the tariff, the resplutions
committee eschewed inflammatory
language, but proceeded to de
nounce the tariff in no’ unecertain
rerms. “No act of congress”, the
cesolutions declared, ‘“since the
adoption of the federal constitu
tion has caused more excitement—
nor irritated the, feelings of so
jarge a portien of -the American peo~
ple into discontent with. our Union,
nor created so much doubt of its
prospective bemefit? | = T .1 7 5T
The tariff was attacked on con
ytivutional grounds, . .“It. is un
constitutional in spirit and intent”,
the resolutions asserted, -“a per
version of the power ‘granted for
he purposes of revenue.” The
people were enjoined to proceed
bv peaceable means to destroy
this legislation which had aroused
ihe feelings of the South to such
intense animosity toward the
North that many sober-nrinded cif
izens were apprehensive of dis-«
union, or worse, a war. The South
on states were urged to boycott
ariff-protected goods, adopt tariff
laws of their -OoWn+ WpOR « articles.
introduced into their borders by
the North gnd, wherever possible,
begin manufacturing théir own
articles.
Before the summer was over,
anti-tariff meetings were held
throughout this section, and grand
uries were taking mnotice of the
act in thelr presentments, In Aug
ust, the Clarke county grand jury
condemned the tariff legislation
nd urged a boycott ‘of northern
made goods. Wm. B Bartett was
foreman of jury, which comprised
W. (. Dokbins, .E.. L, .Newton,
Joseph Billups, Wm. M. Morton,
Joseph Maddox, James Jennings,
Aquilla Greet, Wm. Dicken; James
gansom, Wm., B. Taylor, John
Gordon, Daniel Ramey, John Jack
son, Wm. Manley, Wm. Appling,
M. Scoggin, B. L. Thomas,
As if the tapiff averne.not enough
to destroy the peace of mind of
the South, “a small fly”, brown
in color, and SomewHat ° larger
than the house-fly was reported
to have appeared In Loulsiana,
Mississippl and Alabama. This fly
heean its attack by laying its eggs
in exposed cuts or scratches on
the bodies of its intended victims.
The eggs produced tiny worms
that killed their.vietims.. Two men
were reported to have been killed
in Alabama by these deadly para
sites and much *livesteck - was. re
ported to have been destroyed.
(The serew worm of today ma¥‘ be
4 descendant .of this fly, W ich
first was reported in the South one
hundred and seven years 8go).
In the same year, it was hegin
ning to dawn upon a few people
that women were capable of being
educated. An observer of the «stu
dents at the Athens Female Aca
demy, conducted by Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas W. Stanley, wroter the Ath
enian expressing gratification that,
contrary to popular argument, the
examinations of women students at
the Academy “furnishéd very posi
tive evidence of the capacity of the
female sex to acquire. excellent and
substantially useful information.”
A traveling dentist—a Dr, Amb
ler—in a notice in the local paper,
thanked the public for the patron
age given him on a recent trip and
announces that he will make re
gular visits to the willage to in
spect work he has already done,
free of charge, and give his atten
tion to any other patients whose
suffering might be alleviated, if not
terminated, by his ministrations.

HODGCSON CHAIRMAN
Legion Faced With Possi
bility of Abandoning
Completion of Project
~ Faced with the possibility of be
ing forced to abandon plans -for
completing its Community Center
on Lumpkin street, the American
Legion here today was expecting
a large crowd of citizens to at
tend tonight’s meeting at the city
hall at 8 o'clock.
D. Weaver Bridges, chairman of
the board of directors of the Le
gion, Inc, will preside at the
meeting, after which Harry Hodg
son, sr., chairman of a citizens
committee which has been assisting
the Legionnaires in obtaining funds
to complete the construction work
at the Community Center, will take
charge of the proceedings.
Mr. Bridges said today that the
Legion is hoping that a large
number of citizens will attend the
meeting, particularly those whao
have been assisting in obtaining
funds to match federal aid to com
plete the work at the Center,
Plan Adopted
A meeting of citizens last week
resulted in adoption of a plan
whereby $6,500 was to be raised
by private subscriptions contingent
upon ‘the county and city appro
priating $3,000 each. With $12,500
in hand, or guaranteed, the Le
gion would then be in position to
assure the FERA in Atlanta that
its grant of SIB,OOO would be forth
coming and work on completing
the swimming pool and other im
provements gt the playground cen
ter wolud begin.
The county commissioners, after
studying the citizens’ petition for
4n appropriation, declined the re
quest Tuesday afternoon. Under
the terms whereby more than $5,-
060 has already been underwritten
by a group of citizens, payment
of their subscriptions is not obli«
gatory. Therefore, the meeting to
night is designed to map out
other plans for raising the $12,500.
The Legionnaires, who have
spent more than SB,OOO of their
own money on the playground cen

BY BEN F. MEYER
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
ATLANTA — (# — Repeal of
the prohibition laws in Georgia re+
mained a doubtful matter today
although the house of representa
tives, sitting as a committee, put
its OK on a plan for a state dis
pernsary system, subject to approv
al in a pouplar vote referendum
April 16, |
Strife between supporters of var
fcus bilis broke out however just
before adjournment until Monday
and during the melee it appeared
for a time that the drys were driv
ing toward victory, :
A motion to adjourn prevented
any vote.
Some repeal a.dvoca.tes said that
prohibitionists voted in committ
ee for approval of the state store
bill or Representative Griffin of
Decatur and Townsend of Dade, as
a means of blocking the Grovess
Grayson local option bill. These
same legislators said the drys would
try to kill the state store bill when
the issue came to a vo*e on actual
passage.
Meanwhile, repealists insisted
vhey were in the majority, and that
some kind of liquor bill. would be
passed by the house and sent so
