Glaring Inaccuracies in the Work
Which Was H<#attfed as a
Complete History of the
State
Editor News; The much vaunted
and long looked for enclo
ue'.ia history of Georgia by
Allen G. Candler and Clement A. Ev
ans. is now fclng delivered. To
those subscribers who were expecting,
as they had a right to do, a complete
and concise histosy of our groat
tat . toe work is a severe jolt. Asa
history It is Incomplete, inaccurate
and full of misstatements and errors.
To try and enumerate ail of l hopti
would require a great, space. In On
reference to Brunswick there Is no
mention of tiie fact that she has con
uejclion with the Atlantic Coast IJne,
and the A.. B. & A. and the Southern
ire put down as Brunswick railroads,
it also statea that lumbi r and*cotton
u’o the principal exports, with no
month u whatotd'r of naval stores.
The ontire space to Brunswick, Savan
nah and Dari.A, the three principal
colonial cities of Georgia, does no,
amount to the same space as that
given to the city of Atlanta alone.
Those familiar with the history of
too Revolution will be surprised t
i**arn that th© battle of Savannah,' a
which PulasCi lost his life, was
fought on October 19, 1799, while as
a matter of fact, it should have been
fought October 9. 1779 Vol. 2, page
66.
Naval stoics operators will he sur
prised to learn that a “box" is a "chan
nel’ cut in the pine tree 12 inches wide
7 inches deep and 5 feet long, and
that, when it is cut the gum begins
to run in, and is then ready for dip
ping. After the tree has been work
ed for three years, it is then cut down
and sawed up for iumbr. it then
\goes on to lump the profits of the
business, which the reader is told
amounts to $4 per acre for the three
"ears the timbt r is being worked.
The whole history is full of blograph*
Lai sketches of Georgians, most of
whom are unheard of and unknown,
except In their immediate vicinity.
The biographical sketches of Hill,
Stephens, Norwood, Toombs and oth
< r really great men of our state arc
dismissed with a few lines while Mr.
So!. Green, of Squedunck, Coon Bot
tom Township, who has risen success
ively fyom plow hoy to freight brake
man, conductor and retail grocer, oc
cupies a page and a half, or more.
The binding is cheap imitation mor
occo and cloth about the same you
won hi find on a dollar ledger bought
hi any book store.
The public will be greatly surpris
ed to learn that John Wesley preach
ed his first sermon in Andrew Han
ley’s paint store on Whitaker street,
Savannah. Considering the fact that
Wesley died more than a century and
a half ago, and Andrew Hanley was
not torn longer than three-quarters
of a century ago, and did not occupy
his present paint store there until
ÜB3, it will have to be left to the
"How old is Ann ” theorists to sedve
how this was done.
The solicitor subscipt
ions for this work nearly two years
ago. stated that two volumes of the
work would be devoted to historical
events of Georgia, and that they had
sent men to England and Spain, who
had discovered many priceless docu
ments bearing on the colonial days of
the country, which would be p®JjJish
cd for the first time and which would
throw much light on the long forgot
ten events and bring out others, the
existence of which were not even
known.
The whole thing is a fake of the
first water, and that such men as
Candler and Evana would lend their

NO GASOLINE HERE AND
MANY BOATS ARE TtED UP
—.
The “pop” boats, or a large mini-'

and # it is all Mr. Rockefeller’s fault.
Ills local offices have again run out
of gasoline and many of the boats
have been compelled to remain at.
their moorings for the past several
days awaiting a supply. i
This is the second or third time
within the past two months that the
company has had dozens of these lit-,
tie boats tied up because of no gas
oline and as many of them are the
means of a livllhood for their own
ers, it hits them pretty hard.
It it not stated when a supply of
gasoline will reach the city,

NEW REICHSTAG

The Government Wins a Decided
Decided Victory Smashing the
Opposition.
Berlin, Jan. 26.—The government
has won a signal victory in the elect
ions held today for the new reielistag.
The liberal, radical and conservative
parties, supporting Prince won Bualow
and his colonial policy, have won at
least 20 seats, but more Important for
the government than the success of
its colonial plans, is the smashing de
feat administered to the socialists
who will leave 18 or 20 seats. This
is the first election since 1887. that
the socialists have not increased their
representation by from five to twenty
seats. r l hey have lost especially in
several large cities. The clerical cen
ter holds nearly all of the 100 seats.
The conservatives have won six new
seats.
Reballoting will probably be neces
sary in 175 constituencies so that the
complete returns will not be In be
fore February 5.
Never before has Berlin seen such
after alection demonstrations and
[cheering crowds. The emperor's pic

was flashed upon a transparency in
front of the office of the Lokal An-
