OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY
THURSDAY. JULY 13. 1933
It is eiitrmated tha* Georgia has
143,000 children with defective hear
ing, or 14 p< r cent of the school
population.
The Americans national debt in
creased during May to $21,835,-
385,981. This is thr high point
since August, 1919, when it reached
above 2G billions from the 1 1-4 bil
lions it had been before the United
States entered the World War. Dur
ing very recent years of lowered in
come and skyhigh spending the heavy
reductions the Secretary of the Trea-
rury had made in the total have
been wiped out. The billion-dollar
tax bill and the beer tax leave cur
rent income running far behind cur
rent expenses. Yet the nation's course
is not an unsound one—It is financi
ally able to do the philanthropic
things it is doing—March of the j
Nations.
The prospects for a most success
ful opering of G. M. C. is most en
couraging at this time, as requests
for information are continually be
ing received in the office, and a
number of applications have been
registered. G. M. C. is fully estab
lished as one of the leading prepara
tory schools in the South, having won
outstanding scholastic and military
honors and its reputation has ex
tended to all aections of the country.
The military discipline enforced con
tributes to the building of character
and manhood, and the lessons learn
ed are of the highest standard. The
value of G. M. C. to this community
cannot be valued by dollars and cents
and yet it has its monetary side.
The boys, who come to this city for
nine months of the year bring hun-;
dred i and thousands of dollars which
go into circulation in local channels, ;
CONGRATULATION TO THE
M. A S. BANK

wishes in order. The Union-Recorder;
wishes to join their many friends in i
an expression of this kind.
The bank is one of the city's old
est institutions. Organized in 1890,
the bank has shown a steady growth
and hag weathered all the periods of
financial stress and recently when
the banking holiday was declared it.
was one of the first banks in the na
tion that was permitted to reopen
along with the other banks in the
city, which speaks well of the splen
did management of the bank.
Under the guidance of Col. Mnrion
. Allen, the president, Mr. L. C. Hall,
the cashier and vice-president and
Mr. John T. Day, the assistant cash
ier and vice-president, the Merchants
& Farmers Bunk has taken its place
in the front rank of the banking
houses of the country. A strong
board of dilectors, composed of
some of Baldwin county's leading
business men. aid the officers of
this bank in its management.
The bank is certainly beautiful
and all of our people are proud of
it We congratulate the officers and
directors and wish for them many
years of continued success and prog-
The success and progress of any
community depends upon the
strength and reliabiity of its bank
ing houses and surely Milledgeville
has every reason to point with pride
to the banks here. They have march
ed forward and have been a big fac
tor in the progress of Milledgeville.
THE DOOR IS OPEN—WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT ITT
In another column is pubished a letter from Congressman Carl
Vinson in which he outlines the possibilities of securing federal
funds to be used in public works by the county and the city. The
letter is of importance and interest and we sincerely hope every
citizen in the county will read it and think about the suggestions
offered.
Congress with the direction of the president has enacted into
law bills of far reaching import in an effort to break the depres
sion and bring about a return of prosperity. One of the important
bills, and the one upon which the president and his aides will rely
upon to do more to break the depression, is the Public Works Act
which provides for the expenditure of $3,300,000,000 for public
works. It in with this bill that the president hopes to put people
back to work, expand the currency and bring about a normal flow
of money again. It is the hope of the administration that every
county anj community in the nation will take advantage of the
opportunity offorded to secure there funds. Most towns and coun
ties in Georgia have already started work on their program of pnb-
l c woiks. We had hope., that the Honorable Mayor, who is the
qua- Header of the community, would see the importance of secur
ing these funds call into hi* council business leaders, make a pro
gram and go after them.
As Congressman Vinsons says. Congress has opened the way,
they cannot force a community to take the money, but they do
hope that they will. '
Two weeks ago we insisted that the opportunity was too great
to pass up. and we hoped the county and city leaders would call
citizen: together to discuss the matter and see what could be done.
We have said before, and we say again, because we believe
it a truth that can not be contradicted, the county will, within the
next few years, be compelled to build a court house and jail. Pub
lic sentiment will demand it. So it seems that the wisest action
to take in to secure this Federal aid when we will be given 30 per
cent of the money and receive the balance at a very low rate of
interest, and go ahead and build the Court House and Jail, taking
the present building, off the G. S. C. campus. Col. Manon Allen
has already urged the Board of Regents to secure Federal funds to
purchase these buldings.
The same situation is true of the city. Expansion of water
mains and sewage lines should have been made several years ago,
and the opportunity now affords itself to have this wrnrk done.
The repa : r and remodeling of the Old Capitol building is another
matter of importance. Funds can be secured for this work and the
construction of other buildings at the military school which are
greatly needed.
The purpose back of the whole idea, as outlined by the Presi
dent himself, is to get people back to work and start the wheels of
industry. The Congressman has pointed out that every idle laborer
would be put back to work, lumber and brick plants would be re
quired to run full time and in other words we would contribute
materi-lly to the return of prosperity.
The time to act is now. The door of opportunity iB open and
we earnestly hope the city and county officials will act. Public
opinion favors the proposed plans and all that remains to be done
is for the county and city officials to make out that plans and
program for federal approval.
WHEN A MAN IS "EDUCATED'
What constitutes an education;
when a man's education is complet
ed; who the “best educated” people
arc, etc., are some of the much dis
cussed questions to which all the
answers will not be in for a very
long time. An education has just
begun when school and college days
over, for "getting educated” is
learning how to apply acquired
knowledge.
Dr. Albert Wiggam. eminent psy
chologist and author, has been try
ing his hand at defining “the educr.t-
I man.” Here is the result:
"He keeps his mind open on every
question until the evidence is all in.
“He has in him the Greek spirit
of insatiable inquiry, the Roman
rpirit of tetfmwork, and the Chris
tian spirit of devotion to social wel
fare.
“He always listens to the man who
knows.
“He never laughs at new ideas.
“He knows the secret of getting
along with other people.
“He cultivates the habit of success.
"He knows that a; a man thinketh
so he is.
"He knows that popular notions
•e invariably wrong.
“He cannot be sold magic.
"He links himself with a great
cause.
“He fits his ambition* to his abil
ities.
“He always tries to feel the emo
tion he should feel.
“He keeps busy at his highest
natural level.
"He knows that it is never too
late to learn.
“He never loses faith in the man
he might have been.
“He has a world outlook.
“He lives a religious life.
“With these qualifications a man
may be said to be culturally equip
ped for life, even for the practical
affairs of life.
That’s a pretty good yard stick.
A man may measure himself by it
and get a fairly accurate idea about
how far he approximates the mark
in educated man—The Albany
Herald.
Wilhoit and that Congressman Vin
son had declared it would be placed
among the preferred Federal pro
jects to be carried on in Georgia.

INCERSOLL’S ARRAIGNMENT OF
ALCOHOL
No greater indictment can be
made against the liquor traffic than
is found in the following by that
great oratot and agnostic, Robert
G. Ingersoll, who did not believe in
the Christian religion. Read what he
said 30 years before prohibition was
adopted:
“I am aware that there it pre- 1
judice against any 'man engaged in
the manufacture of alcohol. I be
lieve that from the time it issue*
from he coiled and poisonous worm
in the distillery until it empties into
the hell of death, dishonor, and
crime it demoralizes everybody that
touches it, from its source to where
it ends. I do not think anybody can
contemplate the subject without be
coming prejudiced against the liquor
crime.
"AH we have to do. gentlemen, is
to think of the wrecks on either
bank of the streams of death—the
insanity, the poverty, the ignorance,
the destitution, the little children
tugging at the faded and despairing
wives asking for bread, talented men
of genius it has wrecked, the strug
gling men with imaginary serpents
produced by the devilish thing. And
when you think of the juls, the alm
shouses, the asylums, tne prisons,
the scaffolds, I do net wonder that
every man is prejudiced against this
stuff called alcohol.
"Intemperance cuts down youth
in its vigor, manhood in its strength
and age in its weakness. It breaks
the father's heart bereaves the dot
ing mother, extinguishes the natural
affections, erases conjugal love,
blots out filial attachments, blights
parental hope, and brings down
mourning age in sorrow to the
grave. It produces weakness not
strength; sickness, not health; death
not life. It makes wives, widows;
children, orphans; fathers, fiends;
and all of them paupers and beg
gars. It feeds rheumatirfm, it nurses
gout, welcomes epidemics, invites
cholera, imports pestilence, embraces
consumption. It covers the land with
idleness, with misery, and crime. It
j fills your jails, supplies your alm-
• shouses, floods your asylums. It
engenders controversies, fosters
quarrels, cherishes riots. It crowds
j|»ttr penitentiaries, furnishes vic
tims for your scaffolds. It is the
lifeblood of the gambler,
spiring element of the burglar, the
prop of the highwayman, the sup
port of the midnight incendiary. It
countenances the liar, respects the
thief, cheers the blasphemer. It vio
lates obligations, reverences fraud,
honors infamy. It defames benevol
ence. hates love, scorns virtue, sland
ers innocence. It incites the father
to Dutcher his helpless offspring,
helps the husband to massacre his
wife, an ,j the child to grind the patri
cidal ax. It burns up men, consumes
women, detests life, curses God. de
spises heaven. It suborns witnesses,
nurses perjury, defiles crime. It de
grades the citizen, debauches the
legislator, dishonors statesmen, dis
arms the patriot. It brings shame, not
honor; brings terror, not safety;
brings despair, not hope; brings mis
ery, not happiness.
"And with the malevolence of a
fiend it calmly surveys its frightful
desolation. Nat satisfied with its
havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace,
ruins morals, blights confidence,
slays reputation, wipes out national
honor. It then curses the world and
laughs at it* ruin. It does that and
more—it murders the soul.
“The liquor business is the sum
of all villainies, father of all crime,
mother of abominations, the devil’*
best friend, and God’s worst enemy."
The testing time has come,
the new deal laws passed by tho
recent congress are being put into
effect. The administration is calling
upon the people to lend their assist
ance and cooperation, by eomplynig
promptly with the provisions of the

Safety Steel Bodies
AND YET THEY ARE STILL A BIG ISSUE
THIS IS THAT AGE OF STEEL! Steel ships, steel railroad coaches,
!!l « el ,E? rder s in buildings . . . Steel is preferred for !
strength witnout bulkmess, for long life, for safety.
And yet, for automobile bodies, the wood-and-stecl type of con
struction is still being offered—in spite of the fact that the steel ,
body has been established for at least five years! Inquire carefully
a.i to the -dy construction when you buy a car.
The Plymouth body is of Safety Steel conutruction. It is formed !
of huge steel stampings. All joints are welded, making the body a
solid, rigid unit- The doors will not srink. or swell or sag. The ,
'body wdl not twist or get out of line. It will not squeak or rattle.
Tne Plymouth Safety-steel body saves you around twenty dollars ]
a year in body upkeep—tightening of joints, replacing decayed <
wood, stopping squeaks. And it may be called upon to save the <
very life of someone in your family!
WELL—WHAT ABOUT IT?
•ecide that your next car shall be Modern. If you want the mo 1
lodern low price car have us show you the Plymouth.
