Prof. Reynolds
Writes About
We want to say that whenever The News obtains news of general public
interest it will be printed. Unless it is something detriment il to puLltc
welfare you can watch our columns lor a report. An honest min will not
object to thin end the ruan who makes a kick about it ha, a rotten streak
somewhere in his make-up. He is the m in to keep an eye on in business and
in any transaction where honor is concerned it will be wise to guard well
your action. We're for upbuilding and consequently every ettort we can
put forth shall be put forth for the man of honest effort and untailing in
tegrity, men who have established tnemselves in pub ic contideuce and favor
by endeavoring to do the right thing, or upon these who are striving for
higher things.
In the name of justice many sins are covered under the cloak of the
liw, but sooner or later scandal, like chickens, will come home to roos\
Our idea is to advance the rause of the people. We shall seek to warn the
common folk in one way ot another against the snares that await them. We
arc servants of the public ar d as such we will work. In our humble capa
city tune and again opportunity oilers inducements whereby we might cover
up news and thus allow the public to be defrau led, or caught up in some
scheme wherein they would lose. To osir rea lens we want to anpeal for
support and co-operation in every instance of this kind. We wan' the good
honest citizens of Mdledgeville, and anywhere else in our territory, to re
ceive the cordial support and endorsement of the public when these citizens
undertake to carry on any legitimate enterprise, whether it be in merchan.
dising, or any line of in lustry.
In our position we are naturally in shape to obtain information trom the
inside of aflairs. Whether we can always divulge this depends on circum
stance and surrounding conditions. But we are going to give the news
through The Mdledgeville News and where the people ol Milledgeville are in
teiestcd, or the citizens of Baldwin county, then lookout for wc are going to
pro'ect their interests above all things.
Day Current Ought to be Patronized
F.lectr city is the power of the age. The community that is without it
is hampered beyond description. Mdledgeville is one ot the leading cities
of its size in the state and we need the power of electricity every day and at
all hours of the night. It is a duty that every public spirited citizen should
perform to encourage the day current. The Oconee River Mills ought to
be able to get up sufficient patronage to warrant the operation of its electric
plant day and night by the first of October.
We want to see it done and when once people get started using electric
ity the rest will be easy, The stores wiil be equip led with electric applia
nces, residences will be supplied with more coveniences, industries will come
more rapidly. Even the big water power companies are transforming their
power into electricity because there is such little loss in transmission and the
power can he so easily distributed.
We haven't been kicking, we are not kicking yet, but wc want some
stejw made that will eventually give the day current and give it without too
much delay. The streets of Mdledgeville ought to be lighted all night long
toq, and that’s another good thing to consider. Give us the day current and
watch Mdledgeville make more progress than it has made before in half a
century. So, here’s to the movement and may it soon become a reality in
this community, giving prosperity the city and surrounding section.
STATE NEWS OF IMPORTANCE
In the halls of the legislature Tuesday
representative J. U. Anderson, of
Chatham, chatactfriza.l Dr. Let! G.
Broughton as a willful, rerkless, inali-
cant and malicious liar. The attack
was made in defense of himself on the
near beer bill before the house.
The state legislature has pased a bill
putting h tax of five cents per gallon
on Coca Cola syrup and other syrups
used in making soft drinks.
A bill hm been imssed making it un
lawful for merchants in Georgia to give
trading stamps to their customers. It
had its origin in Augusta.
The compulsory educational bill now
before the Georgia legislature is creat
ing considerable comment through the
state. It applies to nil children be
tween t> and IS years of age an 1 re
quires that they attend school two
months each vear.
(Oor t nued from peg" 1.)
meet growing educational needs. I
looked with as much reverence UDon the
Chatman Academy as 1 did jpon the
monument to cne of the Revolutionary
heroes.
Going south from the heart of the
city along Bull street, one of the first
monuments is the grey stone obelisk
raised to the memory of Gen. Greene.
Set in one of its faces is a bronze tablet
showing a life size statue of the General
in the uniform of a Revolutionary
officer. Another tablet of the same
material on the opposite side bears the
inscription:
"Major General Nathaniel Greene,
born in Rhode Island in 1742, died in
Georgia in 1786. Soldier, patriot, the
friend of Washington. This shaft has
been reared by the people of Savannah
in honor of his great services to the
Revolution.”
The Central Railroad and Banking
Company tn-s erected a handsome mon
ument to the memory of Gen. W. W.
Guidon. This holds a place on Bull
street and carries this eloquent tribute
to a Georgian distinguished for his em
inent services to his state—‘In honor
of a orave man, a faithful and devoted
officer, and to preserve his name in the
grateful remembrance of his fellow
citizens.”
A striking memorial is the huge pile
of granite, weighing uncomputed tons,
and placed by iha Gt org a Sotie'yof
Colonial Dames of America in honor of
the great Indian chief, Tomochichi. The
inscription calls him "The champion of
Oglethorpe and friend and ally of the
Georgia Colony ”
The shades of evening had begun to
fall and it was growing dark before I
had traversed a fourth of the famous
street. Many of the splendid monu
ments that make it memarable I could
not ste. My journey ended at the Jasp
er monument, perhaps the most inspir
ing of all.

rising some ten feet or more above the
base of the monument stands the heroic
figure of the brave Jasper, cast in
bronze, the flag tightly grasped in his
left hand while his right hand w,vesj
his sword indefiancejto his enemies. The
figure is striking- the scene that is tig” j
ured in bronze inspiring to the highest |
degree.
The eloquent words cut into the
granite pedestal fire the blood as one
reads them. This is the inscription:
"To the heroic memory of Sergeant
William Jasper, who, though mortally
wounded, rescued the colors of his re
giment in the assault on the British
lines about this citv Oct. 9. 1779. A
century has not dimmed the glory of
the Irish— American soldier, whose last
tribute to civil Uberty was his life. 1779
1379.”
The people-of Savannah havehonarel
themselves in rearing these noble me
morials to the heroes of the past.
Patriotism can never die so long as
each succeeding generation looks upon
such inspiring illustrations. These
monuments alone proclaim the message
that here dwell a people whose hearts
cherish love and loyalty for what is no
ble in character am} heroic in deed.
And in this way they record in imperi
shable form their own nobility ot soul.

The telephone girl probably has more

sure and csll the telephone number and
not the street number of the person
you want. It will help the girl at the
