The Milledgeville News Will Give 1 he News All The Time if it’s News 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. Crowning a granite pedestal, itself D. W. Brown JD EAZjEH IN COFFINS AND^CASKETS I Well Kqnipped in tins Department and J Carry a Full and Complete Line | aa.’Phones: Nos. 65 and 254™* 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. WILSIAM E. REYNOI.DS Milledgeville, Ga.
