on the Augusta road, near the twelve

KEEPING MONEY AT HOME—The merchants of Waynesboro pay a large part of the taxes which are spent for local pur
poses. When you spend money with them you know some of it is going to pay for fire protection, schools,
upkeep of streets, etc. When you send money away from home none of it ever comes hack for your double benefit. Do you think of
that when you search through the catalogues of the mail order houses? The local benefits you receive from money spent at home will
®ore than make up for differences in price, if any, between local purchases and the questionable “bargains” ofttimes received. jj
The Advertising merchants are supporting a local business which the town could ill afford to he without, and are thereby practic
ing what they have a right to expect from yon. While we bespeak your support of all the business houses of Waynesboro first, nat
urally we solicit for those who support us your especial consideration.
Hotel Project Discussed by
Meeting of Citizens Thursday
Thursday afternoon a representative meeting of citizens of Waynesboro
met to discuss plans of building a modern and up-to-date hotel for the
city and after hearing the talks of those present, Mr. John F. McElmur
ray was appointed ch airman. He is to feel out the sentiment and appoint a
committee to help him in the work and report at another meeting to be held
within a week or ten days to further discuss the organization of a per
manent movement to erect this much needed building. Much interest was
manifested at the meeting Thursday afternoon which was held at the Mel
rose Hotel and at which twelve or fifteen men representing as many differ
ent lines of business were present. They talked freely of plans and efforts
to raise the needed amount to erect a handsome and modern semi-tourist
hotel for the city.
The greaitst need of the city is a hotel building that will accommodate
the people coming to our city and nothing less than SIOO,OOO or more will
do. If anything smaller is put up it will he outgrown too quickly.
The Citizen is much pleased to see this movement get a, start and be
lieves that it will be a success from the jump.
Peoiple of Waynesboro show your faith in your city by helping this
movement to build up and grow.
In Florida during the past two weeks over $14,000,000 has been spent
in building and projecting hotels in that state.

@t)e %vvit Citizen,
Memorial Fund
for Aunt Creecy
Gets Good Start
Collections were taken up in tb*
churches of this city last Sunday for
the memorial which is to be erected
to Aunt Creecy. A committee will
soon be appointed to make a canvass
for funds to build a memorial to this
censecrated old darky who lived so
long among us. Those in charge of
the work feel that the entire people of
the city should he given a chance to
contribute something to this fund, and
Mrs. George Kilpatrick is working ac
tively in behalf of this fund.
Just what kind of a memorial is to
be erected has not been decided, but
it will he one that will be fitting tri
bute to her memory.
The memorial will be unique in that
the white people of the city are erect
ing to the memory of a type of the
old ante-bellum negro that is fast dis
appearing, and it will be a great in
fluence in furthering the already good
relationship between the races here.

These are some of the things that
are needed and “that need to be done
to protect the rights of the people
and satisfy the demands of progress,”
he said.

Ouitman Editor
Makes Startling
Elea at Cairo
Cairo, Ga., Feb. 15.—“ The world
touay is sick unto death, its life
stream is polluted with toxins of hate
anu suspicion ana greed and poisonous
germs cf uevinsh virility and vicious
• ness and lnieeung its eveiy pore,
I tnieaienmg our established institu
! tions, menacing the very fabric of our
. civilization, pitilessly despoiling our
j virtues and cunnnigiy and insidiously,
: undermining tne mnaanientais of de
j mcciatic government.”
I This was the startling declaration of
' Royal R.niel, Quitman editor, at the
I mid-winter meeting here of the Geor
gia Press Association. Mr. Daniel
was for many yeais one of Atlanta’s
best known newspaper men, whose
work placed him in the foremost rank
cf Southern journalists. Of late years
he has conducted the Quitman (Ga.)
Free Press, and his virile utterances
have attracted wide notice. He spoke
on the subject of “Corpuscles and
Cosmos.”
“We are outlawed by a multiplici
ty of laws; we are burdened by taxa
tion to the breaking point; we are
being ground pitilessly but certain
ly between the millstones of the per
sonal ambitions of politicians and the
evils of an antiquated and iniquitous
system that makes abuses possible,”
dcelared Mr. Daniel.
He expressed the opinion that the
restlessness and resentment in the
public mind today, as he saw it, “is the
result of the system as applied u> the
conduct *of cur government —muni-
cipal, county, state and nation,, rath
er than any spiriutal evolution or
tendency toward a contamination of
our cede of morals or degeneration
in our Christian civilization.”
“That I may be understood by all, I
will speak in terms of an universal
language.” continued Mr. Daniel, and
he put it in these words: “To hell
with politics such as they are.”
Opening his address with a scorch
ing arraignment of world’s conditions,
Mr. Daniel, to use his own words
“hurriedly turned the pages of post
war history. He showed how quickly
the world got back to its selfishness.
“We had not lost our ideals pro
claimed from the house-tops of the
war because we never possessed
them.” he asserted. He pictured con
ditions, both at home and abroad, cit
ing many examples of an utter dis
regard of law and humanity.
The Quitman editor expressed the
belief that “redemption and salvation
shall come through the millions of vot
ing women who, profiting through the
masculine errors of decades, will see
with clearer vision and be inspired
through faith in principal rather than
friendships and personalities to point
the way.”
Reverting to state matters, Mr. Dan
iel recommneded a business manager
for Georgia,, the creation of a com
mission to revise the statute laws, the
curtailment of the general assembly to
one organized body, a decrease in its
membership to one member from each
congressional district and biennial
sessions.
He told the Georgia editors that
they were the agency, so to speak,
“to whom the torch is thrown which is
destined to shed its light in dark
places.”
“To you and me comes.” said the
speaker in conclusion, “no longer the
still, small vcice, but a clarion, world
cry for an anti-toxin from within that
will destroy the toxins from without,
and, by the help of God, we will win.”
Faithful Servant
Died Suddenly
Missouri Wright, a colored woman,
who had been in the employee of Mr.
Enon Chance and his family for a num
ber cf years, died very suddenly last
Saturday night about 8 o’clock. She
was on her way home when she was
stricken and died as she reached her
doorsteps or very close to them. She
was buried Sunday and a large num
ber of colored citizens and members
of her Society were present at the
funeral.
Missouri was a faithful servant
and was well thought of by both
white and colored and her death was
a great shock.
