JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER IS 93;
SAYS DEPRESSION WILL PASS,
JUST AS OTHERS HAVE DONE
New A ork.—John D. Rockefeller,
who has lived through seven major
depiessions and has reached the con
clusion that worry poisons the sys
tem, was 93 years old Friday. He
says:
1 Prosperity has always returned
and will again.”
At his 8,000-acre estate at Tarry
town Friday, Mr. Rockefeller assid
uously applied himself to the busi
ness of living to be 100 and maybe
more. He has been at it since he
gave up. twenty-one years ago, con
trol of about seven-eighths of the
oil industry of the country.
During the last year, noticing
that his visitors from the outside
w’orld have been preoccupied with
the outlook, Mr. Rockefeller’s favo
rite hymn has become: ‘‘Be Ye Not
Dismayed, W’hatever May Betide.”
The retired oil king’s annual
birthday statement! said: “I desire to
reafirm my belief in the fundament
al principles upon which this coun
try has been founded—liberty, un
selfish devotion Jto the common good
and belief in God.
“Asa nation looking proudly to
our past where it has been noble,
and recognizing with humility our
mistakes of extravagance, selfish
ness and indifference, let us, with
faith in God, in ourselves and in
humanity, go forward, courageous
ly resolved to play our part worthi
ly in building a better world.”
The birthday plans include a drive
through the thirteen miles of im
proved roads on the estate and a
birthday dinner for members of the
immediate family, with Mr. Rocke
feller cutting the cake.
Career Of Roosevelt
Long And Full Of Color
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo*
cratic (nominee for President, has
had a long and coloi’ful public ca
reer which led to a high point w’hen
his party selected him as its stand*
ard-bearer.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
under Woodrow Wilson, candidate
for the Vice Presidency on the
ticket with James W. Cox and Gov
ernor of New York, Roosevelt dur
ing the 20 years he has been in
public life has always been classi
fied as a “progressive Democrat.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt first enter
ed national politics in 1912, when
he led a successful fight among the
New York delegates to the Demo
cratic convention for the nomina
tion of Wbodrow Wilson, the be
ginning of his long fight with Tam
many Hall.
Upon the successful campaign for
President, during which Roosevelt
played a prominent part, President
Wilson rewarded him by appointing
him Assistant Secretary of the
Navy. He was the youngest man
ever to hold that office.
In 1920, Roosevelt again came
into national prominence when he
was selected by the Democratic
Party for the Vice Presidency on
the ticket headed by James W. Cox.
Shortly after the unsuccessful
campaign, Roosevelt was removed
temporarily from national affairs
when he was stricken with infantile
paralysis, which crippled him four
years.
A warm frindship between Roose
velt and Alfred E. Smith, then Gov
ernor of New York, grew, and in
1928, when Roosevelt re-entered
public affairs, he aided his friend in
securing the nomination for Presi
dent. Roosevelt made the address
before the convention nominating
Smith.
•Roosevelt at the same time was
a candidate f<w Governor of New
York, and, although the state went
Republican in the national issue,
Roosevelt was elected Governor by
an overwhelming majority.
He has been Governor of New
York since that time, and during the
winter waged an aggressive cam
paign for the Presidential nomina
tion, which ended when he was
nominated Friday with a landslide
vote. . .
Roosevelt is a fifth cousin of
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
President from 1901 to 1908.
A card from Col. R. L. J. Smith
bears the information that he is en
joying a delightful trip to New York-
City.
JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia.
Georgia Bankers Seek
Means Of Marketing
Surplus Food
Ways and means of marketing
Georgia’s surplus farm products
will be the object sought in 15 zone
meetings of banks starting the week
of July 18. This decision was reach
ed by the agricultural committee of
the Georgia Bankers’ Association
which met in Atlanta Friday after
noon.
By reason of the safe farming
and directed credit policy which the
bankers have followed for several
years, the excess of food and feed
on Georgia farms this crop season
will be by far the greatest ever
known, it was (said. Having en
couraged this production, the bank
ers have said that they feel the re
sponsibility of exerting their best
efforts to provide for assembling,
packing and marketing the surplus.
T n these efforts the practical cc-op
eration of the State College of Ag
riculture is depended upon and has
Teen most effectively employed.
It vas stated in the committee
that more than 50 counties have
established farm depots or distribut
ing machinery of one character or
another. These counties are prin
cipally in south Georgia and, as the
season advances, similar organiza
tions will be formed as the maturity
of the crops moves north.
To encourage the establishment of
these marketing plants and systems
will be the motive of the programs
to be carried out at the contemplat
ed meetings.

Mrs. J. M. Bailey Called To
Her Eternal Home
In the early morning of Satur
day, July 9, following an illness of
about two weeks, the spirit of Mrs.
Nancy Elizabeth Bailey passed in
to the Eternal Home, that house
prepared by the Master for His

the late Mr. George S. and Mrs.
Martha Wilbanks Hayes, and the

Bailey. She was 82 years of ago,
and was a native of Jackson county.
Her long, useful life was spent
near where she was born, and a
mong the people she loved. Most
of her married life was spent at
her home above Jefferson, but for
the past several years she had re
sided here. Hter (ancestors were
pioneers of the county, and she des
cended from a long line of sturdy,
Christian characters. Having pass
ed her eighty-second milestone, she
had seen many changes in the ma
terial worjd, and the great progress
this country has enjoyed during the
past century.
Mrs. Bailey was a member of the
Baptist church, and before the in
firmities of a long life impaired her
health, she was a constant attend
ent upon the services of the church,
and was an example of a loyal,
true follower of the Lowly Nazaren.

son at 2.30 o’clock Sunday after
noon, and the body was carried to
Pendergrass, where services, con
ducted by Rev. R. M. Rigdon, were

and friends were present to pay a
last tribute of love and respect to a
“Mother in Israel,” who had passed
on to her eternal reward.
The deceased is survived by four
children, Messrs. J. L. and G. W.
Bailey, Miss Mattie Bailey, of Jef
ferson, and Mrs. R. T. Porter, 'of
Charlotte, N. C. Also, by 12 grand
children and seven great grand chil

Pittman Family To Hold
Reunion
The fifth annual reunion of the
descendants of John Pittman, Geor
gia pioneer, which takes place Sun
day morning, July 17, at 10.30 o’-
clock, in the Grant park pavilion,
will be an event of more than local
interest, as a number of Atlanta’s
leading citizens and those residing
in the boundaries of the state, are
connected with this well-known
family.
The president of the organization
is Mrs. Grace Pittman Henderson,
with Mrs. Loura Pittman Stephens
as vice president. Other officers are
Mrs. Frances Brooks Pittman, his
torian ; Mrs. Ethel Lawson Pearce,
assistant historian, and Mrs. Estelle
Cash Pike, secretary. The Pittman
Family Society was organized six
years ago, its object being the col
lection and completion of a register
of the family, and a meeting was
scheduled for once a year.
John Pittman came to Georgia
from Virginia in 1770. Mrs. Hen
derson has in her possession letters
and documents which prove he had
part in founding Old Kiokee church,
the first Baptist church ever orga
nized in Georgia.
John Pittman and his five sons
were Revolutionary soldiers, and
aided in establishing American In
dependence. Several members of
this family rode with Light Horse
Harry Lee when he came to Geor
gia’s aid in that dark period when
the British and tories had over-run
the state.

Kills Brother In Holiday
Accident
John S. Burns, son of Mr. J. G,
Burns, prominent Banks county citi
zen, was killed by his brother, Hu
bert, in a boat accident Monday af
ternoon, at Lakemont, Ga., whero
members of the family had gone to
spend the Fourth. Funeral services
were held at Asheville, home of
John Burns.
Henry Burns and his wife ami
children accompanied by his broth
ers, Crawford and Sidney, all of
Macon, had gone to Lakemont to
spend the week-end. They wero
joined there by John Burns and Hu
bert Burns of Gainesville.
Monday afternoon about 1 o’efbek.
John and Crawford Burns wero
drifting about on the lake in a row
boat. Hubert, a brother, was, from
reports, playing with a speed boat.
Apparently wishing to have a bit of
fun by scaring John and Crawford,
Hubert dashed toward them in the
speed boat—intending, of cofirse, to
turn suddenly and thus give the
brothers a ducking with waves and
spray. Either the turning radius of
the speed boat was misjudged, or
else something went wrong with the
steering apparatus. Any way, tho
speed boat went too close to the
row’ boat, the prow swinging over
the other boat, striking John on tho
side of the head and shoulders, so
severely injuring him that he died
within an hour after being rushed
to a Franklin hospital. The hody
was removed to Asheville for inter
ment.
Other members of the boat were
uninjured.
Mr. Burns is survived by his wid
ow, a son about three years old, his
father, Mr. J. C. Burns, of Mays
ville, and several brothers and sis-
ters.
He had lived in Ashville about ten
years, and was engaged in parcel
delivery business there. He was a
bout 28 years old. His home is lo
cated on Sunset mountain.
Mrs. • Burns had remained in Ash
ville when the husband and father
went to Lakemont. When notified
of the accident, she hastened to
Franklin. —Commerce News.
