How About Signs Saying
Death for Armed Robbers'?
Hardly a day passes but that you read some
thing like this in the metropolitan daiIies—
“NEGROES GET $120"
“In a second robbery two negro gunmen took
$l2O from a service station at 614 Whitehall
Street, S.W.
“Officers said they were believed to be the
same two who have robbed several liquor stores
recently.
“Curtis Powell, an attendant, said the negroes
drove into the station.”
This one was Saturday from the Atlanta Con
stitution.
Now, let’s see what Pickrick (Lester Maddox)
says In his PAID editorial in The Constitution
“And the Police Administration says: ‘lf we
emphasize crime control, we can do as well there
as we have been doing in traffic control,’ which
World's Largest Supply Depot
News Section to Be Regular Feature
Atlanta Army Depot, Col. Joseph E. Mur
ray commanding, is the world's largest sup
ply depot, serving Third Army, Marines, Navy
and Air Force.
During the recent Cuban emergency, a lot
of stuff went out of the Depot to points near
Cuba, and there was quite a concentration of
top supply officers from Washington and
other parts of the country on hand to lend a
top hand in the emergency. We think it can
be to)d now that the Depot housed a consid
erable number of hospital trains as well.

Atlanta Police Administration says, ‘we haven’t
been emphasizing crime control.’ My suggestion
- improve the Police Administration QUICK!”
We wrote an editorial to that effect only two
weeks ago. We suggested that Atlanta City Fath

tive Chief of Police out of Herbert Jenkins, who
; has sat too long. He made his bed on public sup
port of integration, and now he has to lie in it.
Check-speed warning signs are going up in At

Robbers Face DEATH Penalty!” Get on the ball,
Chief!

i lose lives in armed robberies?

A Grandfather's Clock?
No, But It's a Good One
It’s not a Grandfather’s clock, but it is one that is valuable
indeed, and goes back to about 1921 in the service of P. K. Dixon,
Clayton County Commission chairman, to Clayton County. He
was a lorg-time Clerk of the Court, before he was elected Com
mission chairman, coming out of retirment to perform creditably
as ever for the citizens of the county.
P. K.’s clock, which chimes on the half hour, is in his office
in the new court house. The old clock has seen a lot of activities
in this great county, always, until now, in the old courthouse.
Dr. Jacobs TooK a Tip
From Gen. Oglethorpe
Jekyll Island, Ga.—The Spanish stole Ospo island from
the Ospo Indians, and then came the gallant English
General James Edward Oglethorpe to remove the last trace
of the only native Americans by renaming the island
JEKYLL in honor of an old English friend, Sir Joseph
Jekyll.
The late Dr. Thornwell Jacobs,
who founded our old college,
Oglethorpe University of At
lanta, was a brilliant educator
and salesman. Dr. Jacobs was
fascinated with the perform
ance of Oglethorpe in bringing
escapees from debtors’ prisons
in England to the New World
along the coast of Georgia, and
he studied well the history of
Georgia’s founder.
Those of us who went to Ogle
thorpe U. often wondered what
gave Dr. Jacobs the idea of
trading a name for, say, a
$1,000,000 gift. He talked the
late publisher William Ran
dolph Hearst into giving Ogle
thorpe this much money for
simply renaming Silver Lake
Lake PHOEBE in honor of Mr.
Hearst’s mother.
Oglethorpe originally had done
this in renaming Ospo Island
Jekyll, in honor of Sir Joseph
Jekyll. Gen. Oglethorpe talked
Jekyll into giving 500 pounds
and Mrs. Jekyll 100 pounds
toward the founding of Geor-

Dear Mr. Troy:
We were delighted to have you as our guest during the Geor
gia Professional Golfers Association and an opportunity to discuss
with you some of our publicity problems here on Jekyll Island.
We especially appreciated the comments which you left and wish
to thank you for your valuable suggestions.
We have forwarded information to Mr. Fleming and Mr.
Currie. If they visit here we will certainly make an effort to meet
with them and to make their stay enjoyable.
Again, our thanks for your efforts. Please visit us as often
as possible.
Sincerely yours,

their name belongs to history.
I Oglethorpe simply did what
Dr Jacobs later copied—Ogle
thorpe renamed Ospo Island
JEKYLL Island for his close
! English friend who, incidentally,
never saw Jekyll Island. Hearst
never saw Lake Phoebe.
j Dr. Jacobs got Hermance to
' put up a lot of money for a sta
idium, and Lupton the same for
' a beautiful Oglethorpe ball
bearing their names. It really
wasn’t original with the good
I Doctor, however; he simply prac
ticed the methods of Gen. Ogle

what people will do to perpetuate
their names—even at the cost
of $1,000,000!
Spanish Were
Outmaneuvered
Within sight and sound of St.
Simons Island. Jekyll Island was
ideal for entertaining Spanish
visitors to the settlement of
Frederica. Maj. William Horton,
resident of the island and later
successor to Gen. Oglethorpe as
governor of the colony of Geor
gia, received the guests, while
Oglethorpe, on St. Simons, with
cannon booming and his few
soldiers appearing and re
appearing on the South Beach
professed a strength he did not
have.
In 1736, Spanish Commis
sloners Don Pedro Lambcrto
and Don Manuel d'Arcy, sent by
Governor Sanchez of St. Augus
tine, Fla., to discuss rival claims
to the Georgia coast, were feted
on Jekyll. On board the sloop

visitors with the strength and
good will of the colonists.
Agreeing to leave all questions
i to the courts of Spain and Eng
land. the emissaries returned to
St. Augustine pleased with their

sion. Spain recalled and exe-
Icuted Governor Sanchez. After
the Battle of Bloody Marsh, the
Spaniards burned the buildings
on Jekyll Island, but their
100-year rule of the island was
at an end.
Today the Spanish descend
ants may be found at St. Augus
tine, the oldest city in the
U. S. A. and there are also there
a lot of old residents from the
Isle of Minorca, off the coast of
Spain, and they are called
Minorcans.

PULITZER PR IZF —
The Old Man and the Fee;
He Didn't Even Like Sea!
Jekyll Island, Ga.—Joseph Pulitzer. Publisher of the St.
Louis Post and the New York World and one of the million
aires of the Jekyll Island Club, liked to get away from it
all, and possibly spent more time on this Georgia-owned i
golden isle than any of the other 100-odd members and
“cottage” owners. These weren’t
the inspiration for “the cottage
small, by a waterfall.” In fact,
Pulitzer had a yacht as long as
a football field, only 30 feet
shorter than the famed Corsair,
owned by J. P. Morgan, who
claimed to have the largest
yacht afloat. The Pulitzer yacht
was named Liberty.
(Morgan once was asked about
the cost of his vessel, and he
replied: “If you have to think
about cost, you have no business
owning a yacht.”)
The anecdote told about
Pulitzer at Jekyll, or Shekel,
Island, is a real PULITZER
prize.
The writer came across it on
a recent golf expedition to cover
the annual Georgia PGA tour
nament, and the Pro-amateur.
These Healing Arts
By Dr. Walter O. Davis, D.C.
Jonesboro. Georgia
The healing arts are usually
divided into three groups: the
Medical, the Osteopathic and
the Chiropractic. I am a mem
ber of the latter group.
Os the three groups, each had
their beginnings in much the
same manner—as the result of
human needs. In the beginning
each had very little in the way
of an organized body of knowl
edge. Within the last sixty years
Chiropractic has come from a
small beginning to a relatively
high standard; accepted and
recognized by all. whether ac
knowledged or not!
In more than 30 states today,
the Chiropractor iD.CJ has to
meet the same examination as
the M.D. in order to obtain a
license to practice. In our own
state, effective in 1964. the D.C.
must have 6 full years of ap
proved resident college work be
fore he became eligible for ap
plication for our state board.
Regrettably our requirements
are much less than those in
other states. Therefore, because
of the increased standards of
D.C. many of the people and
groups who at one time looked
down on the profession, have
changed their minds. The Chiro-
Ip'ractic profession has grown in
stature very quickly during the
last few years because of the
of Chief Joe Picard on Front row. At left, Wat
son of the Red Cross and to right of Mayor
Puckett, Bishop of the Red Cross.
Pulitzer’s cottage was located
on the East side—down by the
river side. He was allergic to
any noise and thus sound
, proofed his cottage. Crickets
ran him nuts and frogs didn't
SEND him either.
This is a story of the OLD i
MAN and the FEE.
;j Pulitzer couldn't stand the ]
noise of the breakers on the :
; ocean side, even.
11 So this is the story, as related
by a barge captain ...
“He (Pulitzer* loved to sit on :
, his porch and watch the river :
: and the boats go by. The Jekyll '
i Island Club had engaged a cap
tain with his boat to dredge '

asked him if he would do him

this has been done without fed

grants or subsidies—not to men
tion the Welfare Administra
tion, Veterans Administration,
Red Cross or the dozen or more
organizations who solicit funds
for their existence. The Chiro
practic profession has never re
ceived any grants or aids as
: have the foregoing. In many
states, in fact, the Chiropractor
. is denied the right to practice
in veterans hospital or the like,
as is the M.D.
I am in Chiropractic because
, I like it and know of many of
the things which it will do, is
doing and has done. Through
। Chiropractic many patients
i have been cured when nothing

i hospitalization in some of the
finest clinics in the country.
Many of these cases were han

tirety through the proper appli

I become an indispensable healing
■ science and any intelligent per
son would be foolish to deny it.

s foolhardy to deny the value and
great need for medical and sur-

hospital communications sys

greeted the guests. “Motorola is

The M.D.’s can’t help it be

And of course there are incom

When every other magazine

should the D.C. be so highly

for being unethical! There ain’t
no such animal as ethics, any
