jamin Franklin, whose birthday,

Benjamin Franklin, known as the
Apostle of Thrift, was born Jan.
17, 1706, the son of a poor candle
maker. As one of fifteen children
his education was limited. At sev
enteen he ran away and found work
in Philadelphia in a printing office.
He worked for a while in New York
and London. He organized the po
lice and fire departments in Phila
delphia and was one of the four
chiefs. He also a library
and an academy and was postmaster,
and later Postmaster General for
the Colonies.
He discovered electricity and in
vented the stove. He was one of the
committee to assist in drawing up
the Declaration of Independence,
and in urging his compatriots to sign
that document he said: “We must
all hang together, or we shall hang
separately.” He helped to frame
the Constitution of the United
States, and after four months’ de
liberation when agreement seemed
almost impossible, it was Benjamin
Franklin’s speech of Conciliation that
caused the framers to sign tneir
names without further delay.
As American ambassador to
France he became a favorite in that
country, his plain dress and manners
contrasting with the ornate styles
of Louis XVI. As scientist, author,
inventor, philosopher, and statesman,
this distinguished American has left
his imprint on our National life.
His death in 1790 was mourned not
only in this country but in France.
* At the program, period Mrs. Jones
read an impressive paper on the life
of John Clarke, the son of Elijah
Clarke, both Revolutionary soldiers.
Mrs. Warthen read a most inter
-1 esting sketch of the life of William
THE P p JRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
H. Crawford.
Following this she spoke of duell
ing, which was a common practice in
those days, and the long feud exist
ing between General John Clarke
and William H. Crawford which cul
minated in a duel between the two
fought Dec. 16, 1806, in which
Clarke was unhurt and Crawford’s
wrist was shattered. William 11.
Crawford was a tall, handsome and
courtly gentleman, of whom Napo
leon said he was the only man he
ever saw to whom he felt like taking
off his hat.
February 22nd will be celebrated
by the chapter with a party, given
by the Regent at Hotel Buchanan,
emphasizing Washington’s birthday.
Mrs. Dunbar Harrison of Savan
nah and Mrs. Robert Hancock, both
D. A. R. members, were guests of
the chapter and took part in the
symposium.
At the social period the hostesses
served a salad plate with tea.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Live Truly
Live truly and thy life shall be
a great and noble creed.
—Emerson.
Faith
We shall be made truly wise if we
be made content; content, too, not
only with what we can understand,
but content with what we do not
understand; the habit of mind which
theologicians call —and rightly
Faith in God. -Charles Kingsley.
