THE TRUE CITIZEN
TMF SUR VITAL OF THE FITTEST*
Waynesboro., Ga., February 16, 1924.
AUNT CRECY
of Waynesboro are mak
ing preparations to erect a suitable
memorial to old Aunt Crecy, a well
kncwn negro woman who died there a
short time ago. Aunt Crecy appears
to have been a Waynesboro and Burke
county institution. We are advised
that she spent her entire life in Way
nesboro and Burke county; her re
ligious fevor was know r n all over Geor
gia; she was a regular attendant at
the Indian Springs camp meetings;
there was no question about her good
ness; she was nearly always present
at the church services in some one of
the churches in Waynesboro and was
always present in revival services.
This old negress was a familiar
sight in the streets of Waynesboro,
where she went about visiting those
who were ill and doing all she could
in her modest way to alleviate suffer
ing. So it is believed there will be a
very ready response to an appeal for
funds to place a memorial to her in
the city that knew her so well.
We get some idea of the respect in
which this old negro was held by the
people of Waynesboro when we are
advised that on last Sunday in all the
churches and Sunday Schools of the
town an announcement was made
that on this Sunday a special collec
tion would be taken for the memorial
fund. There will be competent com
mittees appointed from all the church
es to select a suitable monument. Sev
eral suggestions, have already been
made, a tablet at the court house, a
monument marking her grave, or a
drinking fountain at the colored
school. It is very likely that a drink
ing fountain will be chosen as the
most appropriate monument for her.
The altitude of the citizens of Way
nesboro in this matter gives a very
clear insight into the real feeling of
the people of the south for negroes
who make themselves worth-while to
their community. There is never any
question of recognition of the virtues
that appear to have been possessed
by Aunt Crecy. We anticipate there
will be no trouble in raising the funds
for the memorial. It will be a tribute
from Southern men, women and chil
dren to one who endeared herself to
them through right living and an ef
fort to be of service—Savannah Press.

f\ jm
There 2a no place in modern farming for
haphazard, wasteful methods. This applies
particularly to fertilizer distribution. Com*
cnercial fertilizer is far too costly to waste.
The Avery Vibrator Fertilizer Distributor
is designed to end wasteful methods. It is not
dependent upon jolting or knocking for dis*
tribution. The distributing device is positive
in operation and subject to accurate adjust
ments. It will feed out more or less fertilizer
at the will of the operator. Once set for a
given amount it is unaffected by the character

view to arriving at a settlement of the
reparaticns tangle, are undoubtedly
tackling the biggest job in the world
toaay.
Citizens of the United States, after
reading opening statement of General
Dawes in Paris as chairman of this
committee, should be thankful that in
these days if complicated poTueai
problems a common, everyday Amer
ican could stand up before a group of
European diplomats and out right to
root of present troubles, as Dawes
did in his remarks.
Mr. Dawes’ opening statement
should be ready in every school house
in the United States, so that the
younger generation should hear a bit
of real hard-boiled American reason
ing that would be comparable to
statements issued by our-great nation
al leaders who have made American
history since the Revolution.
it is veil for the American people
to keep in mind the fact that men
like Dawes, Yeung, Robinson are
characters who can develop only in aj
iree country, unnampered by the rule
of thumb laid down by too much aris
tocracy and official red tape. They are
men who have come up from the
rallies. They aie men who have work
ed their own way. They are men to
who money merely from the stand
point of representing wea,lth, means
nothing. They are men who out cf
courtesy or deferenece to the royalty
of Europe, might doff their hats, but
so far being awed or impressed by
foreign diplomats or rulers with rows
of decoraticns on their coats, all that
means nothing to them.
And as a Frenchman says about
Dawes, “He is one who you cannot
do.”—The Manufacturer.

"Take Me With You!”
Every son wants to do what his father does,
go where he goes, talk as he talks. Can boys
who hear foul language at home be blamed
for adopting it?
What Is Your Influence ?
Being the father of a son is a heavy responsi
bility. Sons may for a time go to Sunday
school and church if their fathers stay home
to read, or go to piay golf—but not for long.
“Why should I go to church when Dad
doesn't ? ” Thus they reason. And the best
of answers is unconvincing. Lead the chil
dren to adopt high ideals.
