AN ATHENS CHRONICLE
Number Eighteen
Guessing the personnel of Andrew
ackson's cabinet was a pastime
which engaged the attention of
many Athenians in ¢ne early part
of 1829. Jackson, with the enthus
jastice support of the Democrat-
Republicans of Clarxe county, had
heen elected over John Quiney
Adames in the presidential campaign
of 1828, but the old man was slow
{0 announce his cabinet, In the
meantime, the slate- makers were
husy here and elsewhere picking
it for him.
Among those prominently men
¢oned was Wm. H. Crawfogd, for
socretary of state, Crawford was
at that time judge of the superior
court of thre northern cireuit, and
had retired from national politics.
At Woodlawn, his home near where
the town of Crawford in Oglethorpe
county is situated, the former Sec
retary of the Treasurey and Min
ister to I'rance was observing ra
ther than participating in the na
tional whirligig, except for attacks.
Troup Mentioned
Senator George M.® Troup, who
was leader of the Troup party in
Georgia, was reported to have been
invited to visit General Jackson
upon the latter’s arrival in Wash
ington for the inauguration. This
report immediately led the poli
tical gossips to include Troup in
their cabinet slates, The Georgian
who finally did land one of the big
plums, however, was Senator John
M. Berrien, who was described by
an ohserver as the equal of Daniel
Webster, In Jackson’s second c¢ab
inet, John Forsyth was given an
appointment,
While the political rumor fac
tory was grinding our all sorts of
reports anent the Jacksonian cab
inet, citizens here read in their lo
cal paper, the Athenian, much co
mment on the probable and pos
sible appointees and other political
dope. According to information re
ceived here, the city: 6f Washington
was full of loyal Democrats looking
for jobs, at the hands of Jackson;
a sitvation which led Editor Shaw
10 declare that he “wouldn’t be in
the olg gentleman’s breiches for
his salary when he arrives in
Washington™ “Phe @inital was the
scene of much sirife and confusion
with everybody bent on getting his
name on the publie payroll. “From
the hints and innuendeos,” Mr.
Shaw remarks, “which we have
seen from Washington, perhaps
more wrangling for the loaves and
fishes, the cheese parings and
candle ends of office, has never
heen witnessed in that city than
at the present writing.”
Not Neglected
Cieneral Jackson, it was said,
wanted to hear from all the people
about everything that concerned
them. It was the first election in
which the masses of the people
had taken part and the old warrior
wanted them to know that it was
their government and he was their
president. And, ‘he has not heen
neglected,” the Athenlan remark
ed. “It is said that on his arrival
al Washington he found letters in
his office, the postage of which
amounted to upwards of seven hun
dred dollars.”
General Jackson had glready im
pressed Athenians with bis inde
bendence and boldness of action,
4s can be seen by the scorn with
Wwhich Editor Shaw greets news
}“'Y‘fl‘ reports that the General
:i'ould not afford to hazard the res
fusal” to make this or that man
Secretary of State, or, what-not.
Such threats, in Mr. Shaw’s opin
on, were “pitiful”—which he fur
ther characterized as ‘pop-guns so
turn a lion.”
It was in March, 1829, also thal‘l
Athens began to take a decideq in

Citizens Praise Aims of
Scout Program as
Drive Begins
More than one hundred Athen
ians, imbued with tne true Boy
Scout spirit of “doing a good turn
daily,” Praved the rain this morn
ing to attend a breakfast at the
Georgian hotel where they launch
ed a maintenance fund campaign
to rase §3,400 to place the Scout
organization here upon a perma
nent basis.
Presided over hy C. A. Trussell,
chairman of the campaign commit
tee, and addressed by Abit Nix
and Max Michael of the local
Scout Council and Herbert Stuckey
of the regional council in Atlanta,
the workers this morning demon
strated unusual,K enthusiasm in the
Scout plans for Athens, and set
out to raise the required fund
within the two-day Ilimit set for
that purpose. Nearly all of the
campaign workers made suhserip
tions to the fund this morning,
amd ‘then were given prospect, cards
with the names of other citizens
who will be solicited for contribul
tiong today or tomorrow. The
first report will be made tomorrow
afternoon at 5 o'clock at a meet
ing.to.be held in the Georgian ho

Praise Scout Aims
Speakers at the breakfast this
morning pointed out the varied
benefits which will be derived by
this community from a permanent
Boy Scout organization. One of
the first acts of the Scout Council
will be to employ a trained, per
manent Boy Scout executive who
will be recommended by the Nat
jonal Boy Scout organization. The
executive will proceed to organ
ize troops throughout the commu
nity, paying particular attention to
the underprivileged boys of
Athens.
Mr. Michael, in discussing the
objectives of the Boy Scout work
here, said this morning that the
need for such an organization is
apparent, particularly from the
angle of juvenile «delinquency. He
declared that the number of juve
nile delinquents in this community
is sufficient to warrant an organ
ization such as the Scouts, among
whose aims is to encourage boys
to become good citizens. ‘
Mr. Nix said the community
realizes at last that a Boy Scout
organization, with @ permanent, |
trained executive, is needed here
for work among the boys, and he
expressed the opinion that all cit
izens will join in making such a.|

BITTER ATTACK ON
NUDISM DELIVERED
BY POPE AT ROME

Pius today delivered a bitter at
tack against nudism in addressing
Rome’s lenten preachers on the eve
of lent.
“The paganized life of today,”
declared his holiness, “afflicts all
open and attentive eyes, a life so
specifically, so paganly dedicated
to pleasure and to the search for
pleasure,
“It is a life so specifically wan
‘on. Its wantoness surpasses on
many occasions that of the ancient
pagan life,
“It is called—with a horrible word
and wity horrible blasphemy—the
cult of nudity.”

Above is shown what wag left of the plane piloted by Ben T. Ep’ ps, which crashed just off Lumpkin street late Sunday afterncon,
carrying Miss Sylvia Raskin, 20, of Savannah to her death. Mr. Epws suffered a broken hip and his condition while not pegarded as
dangerous today was said to be serious, as he is also suffering from shock. Also injured in the crash was Bernard Freeman, New York
city sophomore at the University, who was Miss Raskin's companion on the fatal ride. Freeman suffered a broken leg and bhroken heel
and was reported today also to be suffering from shock. The almost demolished plane shows with what terrific force it struck the ground

Performances of ‘‘Chris
topher Bean” Thursday
And Friday Evenings
The contrast between old time
methods of dramatic production at
the University and those of today,
as they will be typified in the
Thalian-Blackfriars production of
“The Late Shristopher Bean” on
Thursday and Friday evenings of
this week, was strikingly illustra
ted Tuesday when T. W. Reed,
University Registrar, recalled in
cidents from an early University
theatrical presentation. . _
Mr. Reed, in thinking back over
the past, was reminded of a play
in which he appeared during his
senior year at the University in
1888. The play, “Ingomar,” was a
drama of Roman times, and the
leading character, the late Thom
as R. R. Cobb of Athens, played
the role of a barbarian leader. The
leading feminine role was portiray
ed by Miss Claudie Lewis, of
Montgomery, Ala., invited to Ath
ens especially for the production of
the play, since at that time there
were no co-eds.
“] have never seeén a more beau
tiful play,” said Mr. Reed in dis
cussing “Ingomar.” Our silk and
satins, which you order so easily
from New York, did not come sc
easily for us. We had to improvise
our own costumes, xnd we search
ed all over town trying to outfit
ourselves,” recalled Mr. Reed. He
told of improvised toga which he
himself wore as a Roman citizen’s

Georgia Real Estate
ATLANTA —(AP)— A gross re
ceipts tax today was advanced by
senate leaders as a means of re
moving the burdens of taxation
from Georgia real estate owners.
. The bill was considered at a sen
ate finance committee meeting last
‘night, and may be ordered as a sub- i
stitute to a house chain store tax,‘
or to the general tax act now in

LANIER IN VERBAL
ATTACK ON SENATE
Upper Legislative Body Is'
Charged With ‘‘Putting
To Sleep” House Bills
ATLANTA ~ (#) — The sem.te!
was charged with “putting to
| sleep” house bills in a verbal attack
today on the upper branch of the
'leglslatura by Representative W. D.
Lanier of Augusta.
The house received a number of
senate measures and Lanier opened
up his attack, asking that they be
promptly returneq to the senate
without aection.
This request was ruled out of
order since Speaker E. D. Rivers
said it involved a change of house
rules, and the measures were hand
ed to committees,
Lanier charged the senate was
“putting to sleep” our bills as fast
as we send them over there. He
said the highway patrol bill, the
tax exemption measures, the liquor
and beer Lkill and the Intangible tax
proposal “are sleeping in the sen
ate.”
Lanier said he saw no reason for
the house or representatives to con
tinue acting on bills.
Action was deferreq last night by
a senate commiftee on Lanier's
chain-store tax bill. He said he
had no objection if it was defeated
but he thought that one month was
long enough for the measure to
lie in a senate committee, -
The house proposal to classify
property for the purpose of taxing
intangibles was placed on the sen
ate calendar for action.
