state Treasurer Speer TO n POSt-Appedl
reporter at Atlanta, characterized
the .'Sesqui" as one of the grandest
public demonstrations in the South, only
paraIIeIed in magnificence by the annual
carnival al New Orleans. Savannah was,
for the nOnce. a veritable Utopia. Guests
were allowed TO pay for nothing. Shop
men were allowed to charge nothing for
their wares. the Centennial Committee
bearing the burden OF all expenses.
This is how an Atlanta editor accounts for
it: Thus far no mention has been made
Of the fact that chOw-chOw was invented
in Yamacraw. IL is even claimed, land
with some show Of reason. that the name
Of the State grew out Of this. Thus, when
the whites inquired of COnsapOna-keesO,
afterwards Mrs. MusgrOve, what she was
boiling, her reply was, ''Chaw-chaw"
meaning chOw-chOw. ''Chaw-chaw" be-
came by-wOrd, and strangers called the
new colony Chaw-chaW. Hence Georgia,
and hence the mistake of historians.
