[THE GEORGIAN
PRAISES GOV.
HARDWICK
}The Hardwick “Broom”
Getting Into
Action.
Winners In The
«County Contest
The determination of Governor Hard
line to recommend again to the legis
lature at its forthcoming session the
abolition of the office of special at
torney to the state highway commis
sion is in line with the governor^
leretofore announced determination to
aold the expense of administering
Georgia’s affairs down to such vital
aecessities as are consistent with busi-
lesslike and comprehensive conduct of
:};JU state’s affairs.
Certainly, the governor is wholly
ight in his conclusion that the state
Las no money to throw away; and,
vhile he does not and will not advo-
ate niggardliness or a penny - wise
sound-foolish policy, yet he plainly is
letermined that useless offices shall
se abolished and sinecures done away
rith.
After carefully considering the mat
er, the governor has renewed his con-
iction that the office of special attor-
tey to the state highway commission
s one that can and should be done
way with—particularly in view of the
act that the statfe has an able attor-
iey general who may function in this
egard, in every way needful to the
iroper conduct of the department. He
dll recommend to the legislature ac-
ordingly, as he did last year.
* * * *
The governor, in ;the beginning of
ds administration, determined to
■ri;*" the state’s income and outgo to
| balance; that the state should stop,
f he could bring it to pass, spending
noney in excess of its revenue. He
It obliged to advocate and insist, as
atters progressed, upon some rather
;traordinary and unusual methods to
iquare up” the state’s indebtedness;
it he had the courage and determi-
ition to see that through. eH got the
g results sought.
Georgia stands today four-square
;tjb the world, so far as past due
bts are concerned, facing a future
lerewith, with rigid economy, ^he
“pay her way as she goes.”
* * * *
While the governor has assumed and
Ijeld to the position all the while that
jjseless offices should be abolished —
foards, commissions, bureaus and even
departments done away with, when
jhnecessary—he has NOT rushed pell-
mell into slashing, regardless.
| We think the governor’s decision in
lie matter of a special counsel for
Jie state highway department is by
|o means the end of the good work
this regard he has in mind to Ln-
|st upon.
There are other sinecures and use-
3S extravagances that must and will
j It is not right to tax the people of
[(eorgia to support unnecessary ex-
anse rolls, and the Georgian and Sun-
ay American feels quite sure that the
junior will find, as his investiga
tes and audits ,and examinations of
jie various departments, bureaus, etc.,
rogress, that there are other sine-
ires and unnecessary jobs to be abol
ished.
Some of these will be small pnd
|>me of them large; it may be that a
(-called department or so may become
||.volved before the matter reaches an
lid. i ■

wholly convinced that the governor

‘Endorses Careful
Crossing Campaign
[Washington, D. C.—Through syste
matic efforts and whole-hearted co-
neration on the part of railway offi-
lirs and employees, casualties among
Inployees on Southern Railway Sys-
|m have shown a constant decrease
lontb after,month, and the result of
I is effort is reflected in that during
jbruary, 1922, there was not a single
Itality, among employees of the en-
l-e system and less than (two hun-
led injuries.
I The Southern during the past few
jontlis has shown safety pictures in

Imth; and Vice President H. W. Mil-
Ik', in charge of operation, announces
ljat, owing to the large number of
Isualties that are occuring at high

Automobile Races At
Lakewood Park
WASHINGTON HEIR
TO MOTHER’S SLAVE
Atlanta, Ga. — Negotiations have
been completed here for the appear
ance of Sig Haugdahl, world's speed
champion, with his three mile a min
ute Wisconsin Special automobile, at
the auto racing classic to be staged
as the opening feature of Lakewood
Park for the 1922 season on Saturday,
April 22nd.
Haugdahl has agreed to defent his
title here and- will meet Fred Horey,
former champion and “Wild Bill’’ En-
dicott, veteran pilot in a series of
thre cornored match race. He will
also drive his 250 Wisconsin Special
against time in an effort to lower
his own record. Thel ittle Scandi
navian not only holds the world’s rec
ord for one mile over a straightaway
curse and on circular tracks but he
also holds the Lakewood track speed
title.
Haugdahl has held the track cham
pionship of the word for three years
and on April 7th, at Daytona Beach,
Florida, he cinched his claim to the
speed championship when he drove
his novel speed creation a mile in
19.98 seconds or at the rate of 180.27
miles per hour. He also lowered the
records for the kilometer and the five
and ten mile distances.
Besides the championship races,
several other events will be included
on the sports program, including speed
events in which a half score of prom
inent Georgia drives will compete.
Haugdahl’s drive against time with
the world’s fastest car will be the
feature of the day, however.
Thousands of speed fans from
throughout the southeast are expect
ed to journey to Atlanta next Satur
day for the events and arrangements
are being made here to accommodate
the largest crowd that has ever at
tended an event at Lakewood Park.
KEEP AFTER THEM!
Will of First President’s
Parent Still on on File
in Virginia—Interesting
Document—Made Him
Executor.
Keep always before national and
state oficfials the fact that this coun
try—and this community—needs hard
roads, and that there is no other way
in which we can pull ourselves out of
the mud and Onto the highway of
progress.
If hard roads are worth having,
they are worth going after, and if
we don’t go after them it will be a
long time before we get them.
Sporadic kicking won’t do any good,
but quiet and determined insistence
will eventualy produce results.
The will of Mary Washington, moth
er of an immortal son, on file in the
county clerk’s office at Fredericks
burg, Pa., is an interesting study.
The sidelights it throws on the
belongings and character of a woman
of position and wealth in her day.
and especially on the life of the times
in Virginia, make it highly interest
ing reading in 1922.
The instrument, in full, follows:
“In the name of God! Amen! I,
Mary Washington, of Fredericksburg,
in the county of Spottsylvania, being
in good health, but calling to mind
the uncertainty of this life and willing
to dispose of what remains of my
worldly estate, to make and publish
this, my last will, recommending my
soul into the hands of my Creator,
hoping for a remission of my sins,
through the merits and mediation of
Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind:
I dispose of my worldly estate as fol
lows;
“Imprimus—I give to my son, Gen
eral George Washington, all my land
on Accokeek Run, the county of Staf
ford, and also my negro boy, George,
to him and his heirs forever. Also
my best bed, bedstead, and Virginia
cloth curtains (the same that stands
in my best room), my guilted blue and
white quilt and my best dressing
glass.
“Item—I give and devise to my son,
George Washington, my negro man,
Tom, to him and his assigns forever.
“Item—I give and devise to my
daughter, Betty Lewis, my phaeton
and my bay horse.
“Item—I give and devise to my
daughter-in-law, Hannah Washington,
my purple cloth cloak lined with shag.
“Item—I give and devise to my
grandson, Corbin Washington, my
negro wench, Old Bet; my riding
chair, and two black horses, to him
and his assigns forever.
“Item—I give and devise to my
grandson, Fielding Lewis, my negro
man, Frederick, to him and his assigns
forever, also eight silver tablespoons,
half of my crockery ware and the clue
and whi f e tea china, with bookcase,
oval table, one bed, bedstead, one
pair sheets, one pair blankets, and
white cotton leather chairs, half my
pewter and one-half my iron kitchen
ware.
“Item—I give and devise to my
grandson, Lawrence Lewis, my negro
wench, Lydia, to him and his assigns
forever.
“Item—I give and devise to my
granddaughter, Bettie Carter, my
negro woman, Little Bet, and her fu
ture increase, to her and her assigns
forever. Also my largest looking
glass, my walnut writing desk with
drawers, a square diining room table,
one bed, bedstead, bolster, one pil
low, one blanket and a counterpane
and purple curtains, my red and white
tea china set, teaspoons and the other
half of my pewter, crockery ware and
the remainder of my iron kitchen fur
niture.
“Item—I give to my grandson,
George Washington, my next best
dressing glass, one bed, bedstead, bol
ster, one pillow, one pair of sheets,
on blanket and counterpane.
“Item—I devise all my wearning ap
parel to be equally divided between
my granddaughters, Betty Carter,
Fanny Ball and Milly Washington,
but should my daughter, Betty Lewis,
fancy anyone, two or three articles,
she is to have them before a division
thereof.
“Lastly, I nominate and appoint my
son, General George Washington ex
ecutor of this my will and as I owe
few or no debts, I direct my executor
to give no security nor to appraise my
estate, but desire the same may be
alloted to my devises, with as little
trouble and delay as may be, desiring
their acceptarice thereof as all the
token I now have to give them of my
love for them.
“In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and seal this 20th
day of May, 1778.
“Signed—Mary Washington.
“Witness John Ferneyhough.”
Auto Tax Sale
Bring State Nearly
Sixty Thousand
Atlanta, Ga., April 20.—March col
lections from the sale of automobile
license tags amounting to nearly six
hundred thousand dollars were turned
over to the highway department by the
secretary of state’s office recently.
The money will be spent in repair
ing and reconstructing the roads in the
state highway system.
COLUMBUS
CREAMERY
ESTABLISHES MAR
KET FOR CREAM.
T. R. Gay Is Agent at
Fayetteville.
The Columbus Creamery, manufac
turers of Pasteurized Butter, have ap
pointed T. R. Gay as their agent to es
tablish a cream station at Fayetteville.
The plan of operation is for the farm
ers to bring their product to the sta
tion where the weight and sample are
taken by the agent. At the close
of the day of shipment, the cream
is to be shipped to Columbus, where
upon receipt adjustments are prompt
ly made through the local agent.
Mr. Gay announces May 2nd as the
first shipping day, and urges ail who
have cream to send or bring their
product to his store at Fayetteville at
this time Tuesdays and Fridays of
each week will be regular shipping
days after this date.
BUY MADE IN
GEORGIA GOODS
Sold in Fayettevillt
Look Facts in ;
the Face.
When a merchant sells an article
he makes a certain profit over and
above the wholesale cost of the goods,
the transportation, and the cpst of
handling. This rule applies the 1 world
over.
Suppose the people of this commun
ity have $500,000 to spend within a
given length of time.
Is it better to keep the profits at
home and in circulation aiming us,
or is it wiser to send it : all away?
For purposes of illustration, we will
say the dealer’s profit is 15 per cent,
or $75,000.
If the people send away for this
$500,000 worth of goods ALL OF THE
MONEY THEY SEND AWAY WILL
STAY AWAY. We will never see it
again.
If, on the other hand, the people
buy those .goods from local dealers
the only money to be sent away will
be the wholesale cost of the goods
and the transportation charges.
The 15 per cent profit will remain
at home, as well as the overhead ex
penses, such as clerical hire, insur
ance, heat, light, and various other
items.
Keeping that money at home does
two important things. It increases
the money in circulation at home, and
it gives employment to local people.
People who are in the hibt of pat
ronizing the home merchants inva
riably have a better and more pros
perous community that those who
have the catalogue habit.
These hre facts worth looking in
the face.
SUNDAYSCHOOLS
NEAR MILLION
DOLLAR MARK
Will Make Every Effort
to Reach the Goal
by May 1.
Sunday schools of Southern Method
ism are short only a small amount in
reaching the million dollars goal set
for March 31, in Centenary money.
Reports received at Centenary head
quarters show that the actual amount
paid on Centenary subscriptions by
March 31, is $922,959.19. It is believed
that a little extra effort on the part of
the Sunday school people will bring
the amount to the million dollar mark
by May 1. at which time the general
conference of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, South, meets in quad-
riennial session at Hot Springs, Ark.
Centenary treasurers at Methodist
headquarters, Nashville, Tenn., are
appealing to Sunday school superin
tendents and pastors to make this
special effort.
It is said that more than 1,600 Sun
day schools have one hundred per
cent rating in Centenary payments.
This means that this number of Sun
day schools have entered upon the
present year -with their Centenary
pledges paid to date.

MEMORIAL COMMITTEE.
FEDERAL
LAND BANK
The officials of the Federal (Land
Bank of Cloumbia, ,S. C., met with
the presidents and secretaries of the
National Farm Loan Associations of
North Georgia in Atlanta Tuesday of
this week to instruct these loan asso
ciations concerning the filing of ap
plications for farm loans.
S. W. Nipper, president, and T. R.
Gay, secretary-treasurer, attended this
meeting as officials from the Fayette
County National Farm Loan'Associa
tion. The principal theme discussed
was co-operation between Farm Loan
Associations and the Federal Land
Bank.
The volume of loans now handled by
the Federal Land Bank makes it nec
essary to change the operation of the
system to the extent that'each associa
tion will be allowed a quarterly appor
tionment of .the funds available fig
ured upon the percentage basis of
what each association has done here
tofore, and the time for filing these
applications will be fixed.
This association will be advised in a
short time as to our allotment and
the date for filing applications, and the
association has been assured of the
fact that the applicant will receive his
loan within ninety days from the day
the applications are filed.
Desirable loans are now solicited.
Dublin.—Michael Collins, head of
the Irish provisional government, was
fired on as he was returning from
mass after a speech. Collins was un
injured and one of the assailants was
captured.
The attempt on the life of Collins
came just as it was believed the Eas
ter holiday would be passed over
quietly. It is now feared that this
attempted assassination may stir up
new bitter feeling and provoke more
disorders.
The shots were fired at Collins
from ambush.
London.—A dispatch to the Press
association from Garrick-on-Shannon
says Arthur Griffith, guarded by ar
mored cars and Free State troops, re
cently addressed a crowd in Sligo with
out interruption.
There was an exchange of firing
between the opposing forces, the dis
patch adds, and it is reported one re
publican was killed and another repub
lican and one civilian were slightly
wounded.
Belfast.—Notwithstanding wild ru
mors of impending trouble in Belfast
Easter Sunday, not a single casualty
had been reported up to 11 -o’clock.
An unusually large number of holdups,
carried out by armed men, took place
in the streets of Belfast, but no big
amounts were secured by the highway
men.
There was continuous firing in the
north side of- Dublin. Considerable
alarm prevailed among the residents
in the neighborhood of the Boardstone
station and Mount Joy prison. Ac
cording to one account received here,
the republicans endeavored to seize
Mount Joy prison, which was guarded
by Irish republican army regulars.
Broadstone is the station from
which Arthur Griffith started for Sligo.
Mr. Griffith took a bold course. In
stead of smuggling himself into Sligo,
he traveled in state on the Midland
and Great Western railroad with a
guard of honor of Free State troops.
At all the stations crowds waited to
give the Dail Eireann president a
cordial reception. Hand-shaking was
the order of the day at Mullingar,
while at Longford the local republican
army rendered honors and the inevi
table brass band played national airs.
In an interview at Longford Mr. Grif
fith said he was not afraid to speak
in Sligo, as he knew the people there,
as well as in every county in Ireland,
were behind him.
It is reported here that the Kil-
mainham prison has been taken over
by the Irish republican army, but the
report does not say whether by re
publican or regulars. The Kilmain*
ham prison is situated near th9 for
mer residence of the British military
commander in Ireland. It has not
been used for prison purposes in some
time.
