The True Citizen
THB SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Waynesboro, Ga n October 30, 1926
SHOOTING THE BULL
To begin with, this is no “bull,
which in modern parlance refers to
prolixity. The subject of the story
is a real, live, honest-to-goodness
bull, possessing all of the annoying
propensities of the breed. He hap
pens to be the property of Mr. Hans
Manau. Some few nights ago, in the
wee sma’ hours, a terrific bellowing,
hoofing and snorting was broadcast
ed from the direction of the barn
yard, which awakened its more or
less proud owner and made him
aware that there was foul play afoot.
Being wrested in this abrupt man- |
ner from the arms of Morpheus and!
dreams of tyenty-cent cotton he was
determined to curb the rebellious
spirit of the animal once and for all.
Expei icnce had taught him that an
ordinary volley of brickbats would
be ineffective against the tough hide
of his pet. Making his way to the
scene where pandemonium reigned he
discovered tlvit the bull had foin
down the fence and was leading a
merry chase across the cotton field,
kicking up his heels in fiendish glee,
some of the cows following suit.
Hans was equal to the occasion. Pro
curing a shot gun he seated himself
and waited for the incorrigible vo
vine to make his round. As soon as
he came within range of the gun,
Hans fired a load of B. B. shots which
took effect in the posterior portions
of his anstomy. The animated tar
get became more impassioned and
tore around in a mad fashion. There
followed several repitions of the first
fusilade. The full, however, dis
played Herculean endurance and so
the spectacle continued until night
had folded her sable wings and re
treated for the onrushing day. The
first rays of the sun revealed the fact
that defiance had vanished from the
i’etaures of Nhe impulsive beast and
he followed his master as meekly as
Spark Plug. "The survival of the fit
test."
This method of “shooting the
bull” is a decided innovation for
which Mr. Manau deserves full cre
dit. Since that time we understand
the vanquished bull has shown no
further signs of insubordination, and
if the shower of lead has not impair
ed certain natural functions of the
affected area he will no doubt be
come a credit to the herd.
WAYNESBORO ON THE RIGHT
LINE
Reports to the effect that the of
ficers and the courts *at Waynesboro
are putting a ban on carrying con
cealed weapons ought to have a fine
effect. We no longer have savages
roaming the milds here and the tig
er' does not wait in its lair, seeking
whom it may devour. We have no
longer room for the man who car
ries a gun, for there is no reason
for such action.
The crime waves that sweep over
communities are simply the echoes
of lawlessness in minor for’ms and
carrying a gun ,a concealed pistol,
contrary to law, is but the beginning
of the journey that leads to murder,
to rapine and other atrocious viola
tions of the law. The officers of
Waynesboro and Burke—and any
other town and county, as for that
matter —can do nothing more effec
tive than to see that any such vio
lators of the law are brought to the
bar of justice.
Here in this glorious country we
have other means and methods of
setting difficulties besdies shooting
down our' neighbors and our friends
-—and ail humanity ought to be cata
logued in that category. It will be
a splendid reputation for Waynes
boro to establish and send out to the
world to the effect that no armed
marauders walk the streets of that
town —for those who carry pistols
contrary to. law are potential crim
inals of the vilest and rankest char
acter. to be rated along with the
prowler, the marauder and highway
ma n
Many officers in other sections
who are busy themselves trying to
interfere with people who are going
about their business in a peaceful,
quiet sort of way, might well pattern
after Waynesboro officers and direct
their efforts and attention to the
ruthless characters who insist on car
rynig a pistol with them. Half of
the murders, or more, the heartches
and the sorrows that come with
them, are attributable, primarily to
the fact that somebody carried a pis
tol. Augusta Chronicle.
American Red Cross public health
nurses have made 3.035 visits to Geor
gia homes during the last year to
“care for the sick, protect the well,
and teach the principles of good
health to all,” the annual report of
the organization revealed when it
was made public today by local Red
Ooss officials.
This represents the work of four
Rod Cross nublic health nursing ser
vices supported entirely or in part
by Georgia chapters, with headquar
ters at the following placees: Gaines
ville. Rome, Thomasville and Way
nesboro.
In addition to the visits to homes,
the nurses also have' made 412 visits
to schools, where over 2,653 school
children were inspected. The perio
dic inspection of Georgia school
children officials declare, is an im
portant step in the prevention of
‘■prions epidemics. Symptoms of con
tagious diseases are discovered, and
children from the class
rooms before the contagion has had
a change to spread, thus preventing
widespread infection.
Another important result of these
inspections is the detection of phy
sical defects in school children be
fore serious harm has resulted.
Cases* are common, the nurses state,
where children are found to be# suf-l
fering from defects of vision and j
hearing, diseased tonsils, adenoids,!
and even more serious troubles which i
hitherto had gone unnoticed, or par
ents had not realized the seriousness
of the condition. The nurses, after
finding symptoms of such defects,
visit the parents and explain the
importance of them consulting their
doctor immediately.
Health authorities state that this
work is playing an important part in
raising both the health and scholas
tic standards of American school
children, . , 1
The four American Red Cross pub-
Vc health nurses working in this {
state have also held 12 health con
ferences in their- efforts to reach as
many peoople as possible with their
message of health. Over 124 people
have attended these conferences,
the report shows. . f
Local Red Cross officials state «
that the organization now has 657
nublic health nursing services in the
United States, with 798 nurses.
t
These nurses have during the last
year made over 1,166,000 visits to
homes, 49,098 visits to Schools, and
have inspected 1,158,860 school chil
dren.
Monday evening a party of Way
nesboro citizens were guests of the
Waynesboro agency office at a bar
becue. served at Carmichael’s near
Augusta at which Mr . Pelley
honor guest. The cue was served by
the Efficiency Club of the Augusta
territory which includes Waynes
boro and Millen with the Augusta of
fice. It was a most delightful oc
casion and thanks of The Citizen are
tendered Mr. Dave Wallace for be
ing present.
Definitions of Home
There clusters around the word
home” memories that are near and
dear to practically every person. The
following are some definitions of
home.
“A world of strife shut out, a
world of love shut in.”
“The golden sotting, in which the
highest jewel is “mother.”
“The father’s kingdom, the chil
irmi’s na "adise. the mother’s world”
“The only spot on earth where
the faults and failing of fallen hu
manity are hidden under the mantle
of charity.”
“The jewel casket, containing the
most precious of all jeweh—domes
tic happiness.
Honte is something belonging to
the heart. It means human com
panionship, shared love and joy and
sorrow. Home is not a house, nor
a place, nor furnishings, bur nn at
mosphere.
To those whose homes have been
broken up by death, or family dis
sensions, home is usually a cherish
ed memory. Every girl has racked
away among her ideals an ideal of a
home that she some day hopes to
possess. Especially do I think this
true of a Home Economics girl be
cause home-making is one of her
'primary interests. Nancy Byrd Tur
! ner expresses her thought delight
ful Ij in a Tittle poem called “Home”
I want .to have a little house,
With sunlight on the floor.
A chimney with a rosy hearth
And lilacs by the door.
With windows looking east and west,.
And a crooked epple trek 1 .
And room beside the garden fence,
For holly hocks to be.
A: i whei 1 i find that little house—
A: :.ooi. cr dusk or dawn,
. 11 walk rgiht in and light .he fire,
And put the kettle on!
Homt making and housekeeping
rank among the professions as truly
as any other occupations 1* is more
i 'hati a Hade r.uice one who works at
Ai trade perfoims each day the task
assigned, the work being planned and
. directed bv mother. It is the woik
of the housewife to plan and direct
i the work of the house.
Many a tired mother used to say
“Or, any ignorant woman can rear
a family, cook meals, scrub
and dc such menial work about the
house” The time "'has gone when
hcmcmaklng is considered 'menial.
The fullest. most completely round
ed education is none too good for
(die who is called upon to use and
impart so varied information as is
the housewfie.
American motherhood is becom
ing more efficient through education
which prepares them to fulfill more
fully their duties as wives and moth
eis. For too long so called “broad
culture” has taken the place of spe
cific training This training is neces
sary for all professions and for none
more so than the rear'ing of children
and the judicious care of a home.
Approximately ninety per cent of
all girls and women marry and take
charge of their own homes. Very
few of the twenty-six million home
makers of the United are financially
able to employ help. It is not al
ways possible to employ well train
ed help even where there is plenty
of money. Do you not think then
that special training is necessary?
The home is the smallest and most
exclusive school in civilization, for
in the home as nowhere else is the
individual developed. It may give
to a child training ten fold more val
uable than that which he will re
ceive in his later scholastic life.
A mother’s responsibility is great,
for hers is the greatest task in the
worM -that of training future citi
zens. American people are waking
up to the need of training mothers
and home makers as never before.
The well-being and health of another
generation demand that the study of
the child and the care of the home
should be taught in the schools all
o'*er om* land, no girl should be giv
en a diploma until she can pass an
examination concerning all the de
tails of home life. If she cannot have
this as well as allHhe other studies,
better far omit some other studies,
and law firmly the foundation stones
of proper preparation for the life
the majority of women live.
Tt is with the girls of today that
the destiny of the next generation
; s held Let us help them perform
their tasks well.

NEW PRESIDENT OF THE CEN
TRAL VISITS WAYNESBORO
Accompanied by a number of och
er officers of the railroad, President
Jcriin J. Pelley of the Central of Geor
gia spent some time in Waynesboro
Monday on an inspection trip over
the Savannah-Augutsa branch of the
railroad. While here Mr. Pelley
stated that the primary purpose ’of
his trip was to meet and get to
know personally the men anad wo
men worgking for the railroad, but
that at the same time he was taking
advantage of the opportunity to
familiarize himself at first hand with
the road’s physical condition. A
special train was operated for Mr.
Pelley, stopping at each station along
the line of the Central of Georgia
in order to give the new president
an opportunity to meet the agent and
other employes.
The worker in the ranks can find
much inspiration in the career of Mr.
Pelley, who climbed from the bot
tom of the ladder to his present
high position within the comparative
ly short space of twenty-six years.
He is one of the younger school of
railroad executives, being only forty
eight years old.
Air. Pelley was born at Anna, Illi
nois on May 1, 1878, and is a south
erner' by descent, his frther having
fought in the Confederate Army. Af
ter being educated in the public
schools of his home city and at the
University Illinois. Mr. Pelley
started his working career as a school
teacher. After three years of this
MR. J. J. PELLEY
New President of the Central Rail
way, Who Visited Waynesboro
Monday Afternoon
he gave up the idea of being a “white
collar man.” Railroad service seem
ed to him to offer more opportunity
tor promotion, and so, in blue shirt
and overalls, he went to work as a
track apprentice on the Carbono
dale Division of the Illinois Central
in 1900.
Hard work and application to the
job in hand soon brought promotion
to young Pelley. He was promoted
to assistant foreman, then to fore
man, supervisor', assistant roadmsa
ter, roadmaster, superintendent, gen
eral manager and then*to the office
of Vice-President in Charge of Op
erations. He resigned this position
on September 15, 1926, to become
president of the Central of Georgia
Railway and of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, of Savannah, succeed
ing L. A. Downs, who became Presi
dent of the Illinois Central System
with headquarter's in Chicago.
Of Mr. Pelley’s twenty-six years
of service with the Illinois Central,
nearly half were spent in the South.
He is from this actual experience
thoroughly familiar with conditions
in this section. While in this city
he stated that it had given him and
his .family a great deal of pleasure
to return to the South, and that
they were delighted at the thought
of making their permanent home in
Georgia. He said:
“I am sincere in saying that I con
template with satisfaction spending
the remainder of my years in this
territory. I look to the future with
confidence and optimism. I believe
that our prgoress in this section for
the next few years will eclipse the
great strides made during the last:
decade. I think the Southeast si the
coming territory of the whole Unit
ed States. I am not dismayed or ev
en discouraged by the present de
pression the price of cotton
which I consider temporary . I be
lieve the near future will show a bal
anced developonjent between indus
try and agriculture. I intend to de
vote a great deal of my time and ef
icrt to co-operating in bringing
about that developoment.”
President Pclley stated that he had
found everything in good order and
said he contemplated no change in
the policy or organization of the
road. He said that the morale and
family spirit among the employes
had beeii particularly pleasing to
him.
In the party accompanying Presi
dent Pelley were: 11. D. Pollard, Vice-
President and General Manager, J.
D. McCartney, Aissistant' to the
i President; B. Wrigh’L Assistant
Freight Tr'affic Manager; W. MeX.
Knapp( General Freight Agent; W.

Purchasing Agent; C. K. Lawrence,
foromer Chief Engineer, but now re
tired; W. H. Wright, General Agent
and formerly superintendent of the
Savannah Division, and J. Reichert,
Superintendent of the Savannah Di
vision.
This was Mr. Pelley’s first visit to
this city and he stated that he had
been favorably impressed with what |
he saw during the short time he was j
here. He said he hoped to get back
to this city within the near' future

NO FARMER CAN PROSPER UN
LESS HE GROWS OWN FOODS
(By H. M. Stanley, Commissioner of
Commerce and Labor)
A diversification of farming opera
tions and sound marketing facilities
are essential to success.
Except once in a while no farmer
could ever make money planting cot-,
ton when he had to buy his corn and
meat fro mthe West. On the other
hand, the farmer who raised all his
meat and corn and his other supplies
was not hurt as bad as others if there
was a pqpr cotton crop or a cheap
price.
The big drain upon any farm op
eration is the {supplies needed to
run the farm, and when the corn
crib and smokehouse are both in the
West, farming is a precarious occu
pation at best.
Upon every well regulated farm
there should be ample meat in the
raising, there should be a few beef
cattle and of course at least two good
milk cows, and a yard full of chick
ens, turkery, guineas and other fowls.
Go where wou will and where you
find a farmer with a good pasture in
which can be found sleek cattle and
fat hogs, and a colt or two, you will
find a farmer who owes nothing at
the bank, or so little that the note
can be easily met in the fall.
On the other hand, view the broad
acres of cotton and the small fields
or t corn and cattle and no hogs,
and you will find a farmer badly in
debt and growing worse all of the
time. It simply can’t be done. “The
cow, the hog and the hen” as a slo
gan is of little value unless the sub
ject becomes a reality.
First of all the farmer must have
an attractive home. That does not
mean necessarily a very fine house.
Even if it is nothing but a cabin it
should be neatly painted, the yard
should be shaded, and flowers should
be growing here and there.
There should be a good vegetable
garden yi which the house wife can
take proper' pride.
Proper care should be taken to
select a good breed of hogs and a
good breed of cattle. A scrub cow
costs as much to feed as a Jersey.
Likewise, a razorback hog will eat
just as much as any standard breed
and furnish not one-fourth of the
meat. Hog culture was at one time
a risky business on account of the
cholera. One need fear' little from
cholera these days, as cholera serum
promptly and efficiently corrects this
evil.
The destruction of cattle tick has
likewise made beef and milk cow’s
immune from the serious illness that
farmerly befell'them.
Georgia has done well and made
wonderful progress in the last ten
yc-irs. Greater improvement can be
made. Vvc. have done well, But we
must do better. Every individual
farm must be self sustaining. When
that goal is reached a much better
day will dawn for Georgia.
The diversification of crops means
that farmer* must raise enough food
stuff to supply the farm. Corn,
hogs, cats, potatoes, cane, all garden
tru :k needed, and various other items
which' can be successfully utilized as
food, for stock and man. There is no
reason why any farmer in Georgia
should buy food supplies, and un
less he puts himself in a position to
feed himself his hands and his
stock, he will find at the end of the
year that farming has not been a
success.
Practically everything grown any
where can be successfully raised in
Georgia, and in Georgia there can
he cultivated very many profitable
things that the farmers of the other
sections are unable to produce. If
the farmers of the West can make
money growing grain on land which
costs from S2OO to SSOO per acre, in
all conscience the Georgia farmer',
who can grow anything, and whose
land is very much less valuable in
price, but as productive in soil, ought
to be most independent person on
the face of the earth.
Agriculture is the back bone of
the country. It is literally true that
“the farmer feeds us all,” but it is
not always the Georgia farmer' who
is doing this.
j Georgia is still not self-sustaining.
I We are stilli bringing in all kinds of
food products, and farming never
will he profitable until the balance of
the ledger is in favor of the Georgia
farmer.
I know that theorizing accomplish
es nothing, but if all of us keep
| continually at it the time may come
! when Georgia will supply all her
; butter’, her own wheat, her own
1 syrup, her own supply of oats, her
own bay, her own beef cattle, her
own hogs, chickens, and turkeys, and
when that day comes it will be the
farmer and not the banker and the i
merchant who will be the monied!
many any community.
Until that day comes the farmer j
will not be as prosperous as he •
should be. Agriculture is a great pro
fession—one of the noblest of them
all. It should likewsie be just as;
remunerative as any other vocation.

Father and Son
Banquet Held at
Girard School
Last Saturday night a unique and
most pleasant occasion was staged at
the Girard High School when Prof.
J. B. Pullen, teacher of agriculture
in the school arranged a father and
son banquet for the in his class.
Quite a number of prominent people
of that community were present and
included in the list of those present
were the agricultural teachers in
other sections of the county, County
School Superintendent E. B. Gres
ham. and ye humble scribe of The
True Citizen.
In addition to the visitors from
the county Mr. J. T. Wheeler and
Mr. Harvey, of Athens, were also
present, as were some of the teach
ers from Sardis.
The occasion was a delightful one
and a most inspiring one. To see
the interest taken by the boys, who
will be the men of tomorrow, taking
an interest in the matter of sensible
farming, is a most encouraging sign.
It means that there will be better
methods of farming in their day
than Ave are practicing now in ours.
The Citizen wishes to congratu
late Mr. Pullen upon his excellent
work and trust*that it will prove to
be of lasting benefit not only to the
boys, but to their fathers who should
watch and encourage the boys., in
going ahead and taking advantage of
this opportunity.
A splendid meal was served by the
home economics class headed by
Miss Hampton and consisted of
rolls, butter, potato nest and peas,
deviled eggs, stuffed celery, cheese
straws, coffee, pickle 4, tea, toma-f
to and olive salad, saltines, ice cream,
cake, mints, cigars and nuts. It was
all th'at one could ask and was
thoroughly enjoyed.
E. B. Gresham, toastmaster, who
was introduced by Mr. Pullen. Prof.
J. H. Carswell, made the welcome ad
dress. Five minute talks by the fol

meeting and one of the most suc
cessful and inspirational that it has
been our pleasure to attend.

were: Mr. E. B. Gresham, Mr. T. J.
