CARRERS OF EX-PRESIDENTS
Conridernble speculation is being
indulged in as to the future activities
of President Wilson. It is the un
derstanding that Mr. Wilson will con
tinue to reside in Washngton after
lie retires from the presidency next
Marcn, but so far there has been no
intimation as to his plans for future
work. It is regarded as more than
likely that he will devote himself to
•writing, arid from his pen the nation
tnay expect some notable contribu
tions to the history of the times in
which so few statemen have played
.*o prominent a part as he.
Only one President has returned to
2 ,«c . fU:r he had quit the office.
: *y Adams, retiring from
the presidency in 1820, returned to
<ws ye;.rs later as a
member of the House of Represent
atives at the age of G4. Friends
feared this step woula dim the lustre
«.■ ii greu. f'lino, hui his service in
Congress only ad led to his renown.
i. e chief occupations of the Presi
dents after they quit office hayo been
George Washington, upon retiring
from the presidency, engaged in farm
ing.
John Adams devoted himself cheif-
ly to the writing of history.
Thomas Jefferson gave his chief i
attention to the foundation of the i
University of Virginia.
James Madison lived a strictly re-;
tred Lfe after quitting the presidency.
‘ imes Monroe became identified
with the University of Virginia, and 1
for a time hold office as a local mag- i
istrate.
John Quincy Adams, as already st^t
•£*1 returned to Congress, and remain- :
there until his death, in 1848.
Andrew Jackson went into retire- j
merit.
Martin Vun Buren spent much j
time in travel and took an active part ^
in politics. |
William Henry Harrison died in 1
unfliee.
John Tyler cast his lot with the ■
■Confedetatc cause, sitting in the Vir- 1
jfinio secession convention.
James K. Polk returned to his home j
in Tennessee and died within a short :
while.
Zachary Taylor died while in of-,
lice.
Millard Fillmore made two trips to
Europe and devoted much time to
•charitable work.
Franklin P vi ce spent several years '
in travel abroad, and then went into
•retirement.
.'■ iies Buchanan, returned to his I
home in Penusylvaaia lived in retire
ment.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated
in office.
Andrew Johnson engaged in poli-1
■tics
Utysis S. Grant made a world tour, j
engaged in banking, and wrote his
• memoirs,
Rutherford B. Hayes became iden
tified with educational and charita
ble institutons.
Jnmes <?!;,: , eld was assassinated in
■office.
' Chester A. Arthur engaged in the
practice of law.
C over Cleveland became identi
fied with Princeton University.
V n.iamin Harrison devoted him
self to writing and dci vering an oc
casional lecture on law.
ies have been marked lown to such an
extent it is reasonable to assume that
even though trade should further
slacken during the next three o’- four
months this has already been discount
ed to a considerable extent. In some
other lines the outlook is not so for-
ate and the result has been to
establi' Ii part time schedules of werk.
This is particularly true in the leath
er and textile industries, in both of
which readjustment in the field of
etail prices is called for in order to
restore buying demand on the part
consumers.
Some of the larger concerns in all
lines have, however, made anpie
provisions in advance for the meeting
if their obligations and for overcom
ing the setbacks involved in such a
| period as the present. They will,
j therefore, unquestionably be able to
'carry through the period of readjust-
j ment without undue difficulty. The
dropping of extra dividends by the
j American Sugar Refining Company
j and dividend changes in some other
j directions must be regarded as mere-
; iy the gradual restoration of pre-war
\ conditions.—Henry Clew’s Letter.
CO OPERATION BETWEEN BUSI
NESS MEN AND FARMERS.
next year and for several years to
come.
It has been conclusively shown that
cotton can be made under boll weevil
condtions, but it has got to be done
by reduced acreage ar.d intensive
farming.
With the cotton crop, which h- j
been the money crop of tins section
gone, and practically no market loi
other farm products, it is no wonder
that the farmers are despondent ami
blue.
this is an agricultural section, and
the business done in Milledgeville de
pends largely upon the success that is
made by the farmers. The business
men and merchants of Milledgeville
are dependent largely upon the farm
er for their success and, of course,
are deeply interested in the future i
plans of the farmers, from any stand
point it may be viewed. They should
lend every encouragement and aid
possible.
The Union-Recorder would suggest j
that a meeting of the business men j
and farmers be held at an early date,
and plans be discussed for next year’s
crop. Let the fnrmrs agree to plant j
|T-H' VI**-)»ll...vg.-l -•■■ . .ic.vT...«)■
a certain number of acreage in cer
tain crops and let the business men
agree to find a market for such pro
ducts next year. This plan has been
done in other counties, and will aid
largely in dispelling the gloom that
is now overhanging the agricultural
interests of t’.e county in the future.
There is not the least doubt but
that the conditions have got to be met
and overcome for the land has got to
continue to be cultivated and made to
yield crops.
The farmers of Badwin county are
at this time contemplating the future
with deep forbording, and feel that
they have reached their ends row.
and that there is nothing in store for
them except failure.
This in natural under existing con
ditions. There has been little cotton
made in the county this year, and
what little there has been made is
bringing practically nothing on the I
market when compared with the price The Milledgeville Buggy and Furni-
