The True Citizen
THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Waynesboro, Ga., October 23, 1926
PRESERVING HISTORY
Prof. T. J. Lance, of Waynesboro
Academy, furnishes again this week
a most interesting article on the life
of Yooung J. Allen, famous mission
ary to China. Mr. Allen was a Burke
county man, having been born near
Midville. His life has been hidden
away and very little has been said
about him. Mr. Lance who has been
writing of the historic scenes and
man of Bur'ke county dug this out
after considerable trouble in finding
just to help him get any data. It
turns out that Mr. Allen Iras •‘rela
tive, Mrs. Jordon, who lives near Mid
ville, and who possessed a wonder
ful picture that we print this week
after reproducing it from a kodak
snap shot. The Citizen is always in
terested in such articles and will be
pleased to hear from anyone in the
county, or outside for that matter,
who has any interesting historical
n atter that they will furnish us.
Mr Lance who has taken much
time in gathering up such matter has
been K*nd and gened/ • n *.•_» 'J he
Citizen in helping us to print these
articles and. we are under many ob
ligations to him.
Today, it seems that the public
appreciates very little the value of
history, but with such wondedrful
history that abounds in Burke
county, his articles will be inestima
ble value to those who care for the
preserving of our history.'
Through a suggestion of Mr. Lance
and after a splendid talk froiji him
on Preserving history, the local
American Legion post is interesting
itself in the matter and are going
about the organization of an His
torical Society for preserving the
history and compiling such facts as
can be secured. The organization
will be perfected and will do a won
derful piece of work.
Along this line The Citizen is pub
lishing an article from the pen of
Mr. N. L. Willet, who writes for the
Augusta Chronicle, that is of great
interest and contains suggestions
where some valuable matter may be
obtained.
The Citizen will carry these ar
ticles at different times and those
who are interested will do well to
cut them out and put in a scrap hook
where they can save them and in
this manner have a very complete
and wonderful story of Burke coun
ty.
THE KING OF ROUMANIA
Here he is! The King of Rou
mania had a King. We didn’t either,
until we got to digging down into
the royal directory. Then we found
there was a King and that his name
was Ferdinand. We believe Spain
had a King Ferdinand once who
didn’t amount to much except to let
Isabella pawn her jtwels to discover
America. Now here comes the wife
of Ferdinand, of Roumania, to dis
cover us all over again. And she
hasn’t pawned her jewels, judging
by the way she writes of ’em at so
much a word. But this is to be a
story about the King. He is an im
portant personage. He takes rank
in his country with a lot of husbands
in this one. We believe he is in
timely acquainted with Mr. Lydia
Pinkham, Mr. Mary Elleh Lease, Mr.
Carrie Nation, Mr. Mary Harris Ar- 1
m.our. Mr. Winslow’s Soothing Sy
rup, Mr. J. E. Hayes, of Montezu
ma; Mr. Walter D. Lamar, of Ma
con; Mr. U. D. Harrold, of Americus;
Mr. Dorothy Dix, down in New Or
leans; Mr. John N. Holder, Br. Nina
Wilcox Putnam, Mr. Carrie Chap
man Catt, and the husband of the Pig
Woman.

The above great scoop of the news
paper world was found in Bill Biff
em’s column in the Savannah Press,
and whether or not we are violat
ing his copyright on this {article,
we are republishing it for our read
ers edification. It is one of the best
pieces of humor we have seen in
the public press in many a day and
we arc passing it on. Mr. Sutlive
was at his best when he penned with
his typewriter these few lines. We
did not have the time to print his
picture like Mr. Sutlive did, nad we
did not have any patent medicine
cuts handy, so the article is minus
the picture.
WILL DISCONTINUE

On and after Nov. Ist, we will
discontinue the credit basis of doing

owing to the fact that we have not
sufficient capital to carry your ac
counts. We appreciate your business

The Least of His Worries
Down In southern Alabama a person
of color was fetched Into court to be
arraigned for his preliminary hearing
on a charge of wilful murder.
“Mose Tupper," said the Judge, con
templating the prisoner over his spec
tacles, "you are accused here of one
of the most serious crimes known to
our laws—to wit, the taking of a hu
man life. Are you properly represent
ed by counsel?"
"No, sufe," said the darky cheerfully.
“Well, have you talked to any one j
about your defense since your arrest?’’ j
"I told de sheruff 'bout de shootln’ •
when he come to my cabin to bring me i

"And have you taken no steps what
ever to engage a lawyer?”
"No, suh," said Mose. "I ain’t got
no money to be wastin’ on lawyers.
Dey tell me lawyers Is mighty costive.’*
"If you have no funds," Insisted the
Judge, "it lies within the power of the
court to appoint an attorney to repre

part."
"Ton needn’t be botherin’ yo’se’f,
Jedge," answered Mose.
"Well, what do you propose to do
about this case?" demanded his honor.
"You must be properly defended —the

Geological Survey
of \m Tells a
Wonderful Story
By N. L. Willet in Augusta Chr’onicle
Ninety years ago is three genera
tions. Much water has poured over
the dam since the date of 1836 when
Guien and Thompsog* Augusta pub
lished the book—the only copy of
which is owned by C. D. Hammond,
of Mcßean'--“Report of a Geologic
cal and Agricultural Survey of Burke
and Richmond counties.” John Rug
gles Cotting, professor of natural
sicence and an author in both geol
ogy and chemistry, wrote it. He
makes no mention of any towns save
Augusta and Bath and Mount Enon.
Here and there was a plantation. In
both counties were immense areas
in cypress swamps. The creeks car
ried the same names as in the to
day and down on Briar creek. David
F. Dickson had cleared 40 acres in
the swamp and was growing corn 15
feet high and cotton 10 feet high by
9 wide. This was the David Dick
son who became so famous as an
agricultural writer and leader.
Professor Cotting, for his day, was
an amazing man, for it is almost in
credible—his knowledge in those
twilight days of geology and mine
ralogy and chemistry. In the face
of universal belief to the contrary
Professor Cotton dared to deny as
to Noah’s flood being universal. The
fact that this country here was all
under the sea was well known by
Professor Cotting. Fie tells of a
deep run into said marsh. In their
words with a recession of the sea
the erosions from up country hills,
had piled up with soil 700 feet high
above this old level. And how long
it took to do that?—and of course
these same eroisions and Tiling in
and frilling up is going on today.
The book is largely given up to
marls—the various forms and corm
binations into which lime enters. He
never tires of referring to Shell
Bluff and Stoney Bluff down the Sa
vannah river. Ide finds many kinds
of large deposits of varied marls be
tween Shell Bluff and* Mcßean. Prob
ably half of Shell Bluff is shell. At
Stoney Bluff is a strange collection
of varied stones. Most of the wells
ot Burke county are lime. He ex
plains why Burke’s soils are rich, of
our wondrous plastic clay and of our
wondrous plastic play of our porce
lain clays. He tells of fine building
rock, hard and well split up at Quak
es' Springs, near Columbia county—
rock - called sieniteja kind of granite.
He tells of a fine deposit near Blythe
of today of the sand for glass mak
ing. Glass was made there in his
day and one or’ more industries out
of this sand was carried one. He
speaks as to how fortunate Augusta
is in having about jner clays
and marls and rocks and sands.
He speaks of numerous cones in
Burke and some in this county that
look like little volcanoes and which
he does not try to explain. On the
top ot some of these one found, he
says, Bnhr stone. Quite an industry
from this section in the grinding
rocks used in grist mills obtained.
Large amounts were shipped north.
He found sand stones in this county
and soap stones and shales, felspar
mica, etc.
He refers to Maclue’s Map of 1817
in “Obersavtions in Geology of the
"Tertiary Formation.” and of the
varied branches where these exhibits
are found—one of them being Colum
bia, Augusta Rocky Landing on the
Oconee river, Fort Hawkins, on the
Ocmulgee, and Hawkinstown, on the
Flint river, and across the Chatta
hoochee, near Columbus. He says
of the varvd branches of this ter
tiary strip: It is probably the larg
est deposit of animal remains in the
known world and in every point of
view in which it ~can be considered,
it is calculated to excite in us the
deepest interest, whether as men of
science, ploitical economists, or more
iy as agricultrists.”
Professor Cotting found in these
two counties over 300 types of fos
sils. He made analyses of the soils
of perhaps 75 farmers. Miss Susan
Cotting, his daughter made up an
herberium of 1,000 different plants
and he says there are in the two
counties at least 2,000 species.
The professor found some metals
on Little Spirit creek (David Dick
son) ot oxide iron 61 aluminum 30
-and silez 12—this one iron bed I
believe was afterward worked. At
the rear of the book and very inter
esting is a vocabulray which explains
terms in the book—for 1 example
“Kaolin”, same earthly felspar used
or porcelain” let me as a postserpit
and personally dad that kaolin is a
Chinese word For thousands of
years the Chinese have used it medi
ically—externally in sores and
wounds. And here in this country
materia medica uses it internally
for as it goes through the intes
tines it mechanically carries along
with it baceeria.
! believe that Professor Cotting
and his daughter were from England.
His report as published in this book
went to Gov. Win. Schley. He had
hoped to make a complete tabulated
survey for publication of Richmond
and Burke counties’ plants and also
animals. Probably this was never
done. His maps and drawings of the
two counties were never engraved for
tiie lack of time through the hurry
to publish the book for the legisla
' They were deposited in the
Medical College of Georgia. Augusta,
and are possibly in the achives today
