safely guarded in the Statehouse.
Once the cat was out of the bag,
however, Mr. Smith-Cuyler met the
demand of the reporter for a story in
fine style, and announced in addition
his intention of publishing a book
soon.
The book, he says, is just what its
name implies—a'digest of wills made
out by Georgians who lived during
the colonial period. The wills in
which the author is particularly In
terested are contained in two musty
old volumes, dating back to 1772,
which were dug up among the ar
chives of the State compiler of official
records.
Indicative in every way of the times
which they record,, these old will
books. Mr. Smith-Cuyler declares, set
at rest forever the old contention of
historians that the Revolutionary War
times were characterized by violent
and unexpected disturbances, change
of habit and custom and the like.
To prove his own contention Mr.
Smith-Cuyier merely turns a musty,
moth-eaten page or two—carefully,
for time has left its mark—points'to
the marvelous penmanship of one
Whitfield, clerk and ordinary in co
lonial Savannah, written before the
war, and then turns several pages to
another sample of this gentleman’s
handwriting, written after the war.
The meaning, Mr. Smtih-Cuyler ex
plains—but to make a long story
short, it is satisfactory. Evidently,
the good dames of old Savannah did
spank their youngsters just as hard
during the war and after as they did
before the great struggle for liberty.

And hustle to school in a frosty morn-
Gee! I’m sorry in a way!
Go back to cold weather
And rainy days —
It’s going to change things
In a|thousand, different ways—
Gee. I’m sorry in a way! *
My vacation has been a happy one,
On the seashore and mountain run,
But hard study must stop this fun,
Say! I’m sofry in a way!
I'm sorry and I’m glad, too,
And to-morrow I will renew
Friendships with my schoolmates dear,
And here’s hoping it will be a happy
year.
Then 1 won’t be sorry irj a way.
