f UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, CA., OCTOBER 2S, l>2t A ft P STORES CELEBRATE SIXTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY Local Stores Prepare for Gala Birthday Party This week finds our local A&P stores bedecked in colorful decora tion in commemoration of The Great Atlantic & Pacific To* Com pany’* sixty-ninth year of business. In the Fall of 1859. the founder of the AftP chain, Mr. Goorge Hunt ington Hartford, opened his first branch on Versey Street, in old New lork. At that early date, mass re tailing. or the operation of several stores under one ownership, was un heard of and store-keeping was con ducted along simple lines. Mr. Hart ford, moved by a dewre to operate several stores, and to make these stores unique in that they would “how but little profit for every dol lar passed over the counter, there by presenting valr.es practically un known in that agt, launched his com mercial .argosy. Mr. Hartford continued his work, bringing branch after branch into ex istence to meet with th- approval of countless thousands of families who found in these stores a new type of service, good merchandise and values of genuine merit. The chain store idea, of which Mr. George Huntington Hartford was the founder, has rooted itself deep into the hearts of the American public and today, after sixty-nine years of businaes life marked by continual progress, The Great Atlantic A Pa cific Tea Company, is grocer exemp lar to almost every state in the Union. Canada is now under development by the Aftp chain and stores are be ing opened at close intervals, in Quebec and Ontario Here, as in the United States, Aftp i s meeting with the same genreoua ovation and fine patronage as that accorded stores in every community where new branches appear. It ha* been the custom for years, for The Great Atlantic ft Pacific Tea Company to fittingly mark each mile stone in its history. As a means of commemorating the Company's in ception, gala sales are held .and the public is cordially invited to help celebrate at the "AAP Birthday Party." Low prices on popular na tionally advertised merchandise al ways prevail, and local foods are priced at a raving week in and week out. but, during these special an niversary events, greater values are offered. Scores of price are brought to lower levels in a week of anni versary celebration. The Great Atlantic ft Pacific Tea Company announces that October twenty-second to twenty-seventh, inclusive, will mark the dates of this year’» sale, and that the provision made for this event promises to make it the greatest ever held. All local branches of the A4P chain will take part in this great sale- event. j true and steadfast to the principles J of Jeffersonian Democracy, and the traditions of the South. I sincerely ! hope that our great and deserving . nominee Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, with his running mate, | our own Southerner, Vice-Presiden- I tial nominee may be sAiccessful on I November Gth, next. Best wishes j and kindnest regards to you all. Very truly, A. D. NISBET To Th. F. F. Editor Palmetto.— Editor Fellowship Fo- j rum, Washington: Have just receiv. your letter in which you make a plea • for funds to circulate another 100,- 000 conies of your weekly sheet of ! narrow, squit-eyed religious bigotry 1 political propaganda, and sacrilege, 1 The Followship Forum. You have {taken a shot at the wrong fellow if | you think I am in sympathy with your dastardly movement e? religious 1 prejudice, hatred and untruthfulness. The Felowship Forum is a disgrace 1 to an intelligent citizenship and a man woh is willing to live off the prejudices of ignorance and hate, and kindle the flame of intolerance in man's spiritual life is not worthy the respect of any honest man. To me you are the most disreputable char- , acter in American life. I No! I will not give you one cent to .spread your slimy material to defeat : A1 Smith. A1 Smith is a good Chris tian and you are a disreputable polit ical henchman. If I had not intended , to vote for AI Smith I would do it now because of this slimy propaganda | against his religious devotion to God. I profoundly resent the statement j you made in your letter to me of Oct. 12th, when you class the great people of Alabama, Georgia. Ken tucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Arkansas and Tex as as a bunch of prejudiced morons. The people of the South are on the square and we are too intelligent to let a alimp dastardly propaganda poison our minds against the prin ciples we have fought, bled and died to achieve. Don’t lose any more sleep over your dream of slitting the Solid South. Don’t strain your overworked nerves to flood the South with your political filth. We can do very well without you or your kind. My advice to you iaito take a bath, ask God to forgive you and clean up and be an American citizen. WALTER SCOTT M’NUTT Pasior First Presbyterian Church. SOUTH RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES W. L. RITCHIE A MEMBER OF 1 riage licenses now. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE In a recent address before the Southeast Shippers’ Advisory Board at Biloxi, Mississippi, Mr. P. E. O'Dell Vice-President and General Manager of the Gulf. Mobile and .Northern Railway, proposed a plan by which the South could aeqaint Southern people with it# resources and indus trial possibilities and then curry the message to the rest of the world. In the current issue of HOL- LAND’fi, "The Magazine of the South,” Arthur Colenpn discusses the value of organized effort in the South’s recovery from the Civil War, and its industrial growth wince that time. He also points out some of the resources and how they have been developed until today the South pro duces ninety-nine per cent of the nation’s cotton, sulphur, phosphate, carbon black, graphite and bauxite; ninety-three per cent of its asphalt and two-thirds of its petroleum: until today they hold in their hand* more than a fifth of the nation’® wealth, a sixth of its manufactured products and a half of its cotton manufactured products. Sixty-three years. Only a fourth of the South’s age. And yet in that fourth i: has labored and built and regained more than half the power that it held at the end of the first three-fourths; until in 1927, with an estimated population of only 40,175,- 000, it produced 176.6 per cent more cotton products value. 81.8 per cent more mineral products value and made 681.8 per cent more highway expenditures than did the entire United State#, with 75,994, 000 popu. lation and practically all the coun try’s wealth in 1900. It is a dazing, amazing, AlaSclin- like narrative, this story of the New South. It is almost incomprehensible that a people could surge upward from the very pits of despair and ruin and, in one lifetime, center the at tention of a nation on themselves; make such gigantic strides in manu facturing and other development at> to attract the interest and capital of a nation to whom big business is open book: and still stand forth in the security of the knowledge that the resources of the New South are but partially explored, little known, fractionally developed—a people and a land with all the charm of tradition and blood and breeding of the old, now fresh and vibrant with the vigor and courage of the new. Mr. W. L. Ritchie, of Millcdgevlile, has been appointed a member of the .State Democratic Committee from the State at large. Mr. Ritchie was an enthusiastic- supporter of Gov. L. G. Hardman in all of his campaigns, and was a dele gate to the State Convention from this county. He was unable to attend the meet ing of the Committee, which was held in Atlanta Saturday.
