GEORGIA GETS HONOR
FIRST TO NAME CITY AFTER
FATHER OF COUNTRY.
Town of Washington christened in
1H9-History Proving Contention
of Resident Brought to Light
and Fixed by Records.

Washington, Ga.-After much and
long protracted discussion 1t has been
settled when, where and how this
town was named in honor of George
Washington. These are the facts as
they have been ascertained:
The name Washington was chosen
by the people of Wilkes county for
their new town in the year 1878. and
confirmed by the general assembly in
January, 1880.
Historians have been prone to doubt
and question these dates, claiming
that in 1880 was the dark year" in
Georgia and that no session of the
general assembly was held in that
year. Augusta had fallen, Savannah
had fallen and the whole state was in
the hands of the enemy. This is very
nearly true, but not quite so.
The "ceded lands" which seven
years previous had been bought from
the Indians and called Wilkes, for
John Wilkes, our friend in the Brit
ish parliament. was one spot in the
state not under British rule. This
was due to our victory at the battle
of Kettle Creek.
Stephen Heard, president of the as
sembly, was acting governor, because
George Walton, the governor, was In
Philadelphia attending the council
there. And Wilkes county being the
only spot free from British rule.
Stephen Heard moved the state papers
and records to the courthouse at
Heard's Fort Heard's Fort, there
fore, became the capital of Georgia
for the time being. And 1t was here
that the only session of the state leg
islature or assembly was held in the
year 1880. 1t was at this session that
the act was passed confirming the
name Washington chosen for the little
town to be laid out around the site OF
Heard's Fort
In Watkins Digest, the Oldest COM
pilation of the legislative acts of
Georgia, will be found the proofs of
this statement. as follows:
Section 10. And whereas 1t Is es-
sentally necessary for the conven-
ience of suitors and ministers of pub
lie justice that the building of a small
town in the county of Wilkes should
be encouraged. be 1t therefore enact
ed by the authority aforesaid. that five
commissioners be appointed by this
house. and said commissioners SO to
be appointed. or any three of them, be
empowered to lay out 100 acres of
land circumjacent to the said place
into a town and common, and the
same be sold and granted in the man
ner pointed out in this act-and be 1t
further enacted by the authority
aforesaid that William Downs. Barn
ard Heard, John Gorham, Daniel Cole
man and John Dooley, Esquires, be a
board of commissioners for acting un-
der this act, representing the town
at the courthouse. in Wilkes county.

There you have the proof that the
general assembly confirmed the name
in the year 1880. for Watkins Di-
gest," printed IN 1880. is indisputable

MILWAUKEE, CLEANING UP
Liquor Men in Beers Stronghold
Hear the Coming Storm
and Seek Cover

Milwaukee, Wis, December 6.-(Spe-
cial correspondence 1.-The signs of the
times plainly indicate that even in MIL
waukee, where the brewer and the sass
loonkeeper have so long dominated pol
itics that the idea of any opposition to
their will has almost disappeared, the
rumbling of the approaching storm be-
gins to be heard With the consent and
approval of the saloon interests, an or
dinance will be introduced in the city
council on Monday night, providing that
all saloons shall be closed at midnight,
and remain closed until six o'clock in
the morning. 1t is said that orders
have gone out from the brewers head
quarters that this ordinance shall be
passed and that there will be hardly
dissenting voice against it.
The inspiration of this seems to be
that the liquor interests have discovered
that the churches and moral people are
beginning to arouse and that move
ment against the saloons is likely to
take place. 1t was recognized that some
thing must be done to head this off, and
this ordinance is that something. Alder
man John Koerner, himself the owner
of saloon and notorious for his disre-
gard of the law in the past, will pre-
sent the ordinance in the city council
Still more wonderful to relate, Mr.
Koerner is booked to speak on early
Closing of Saloons" in the St. James
Episcopal church next week.

At the Restaurant ..

When the Ask Club members sat
down at table, middle-aged gentle
man came ard sat down A little card
was handed out that said something
against license. The new victim read
it, saying, Them are my sentiments"
"Here is the place people who hold
those sentiments crystalline for definite
action. This movement is nation wide"
The man read the pledge, remarking,
81 never voted that way"
"The people are just beginning to
come our way, now, and I am inviting
you to join the ranks"
Il am against the saloon
Good; put your name down"
81 will do it."
Paying the Bill -.
AS our member paid his bill, he
handed his little card to the proprietor,
remarking, 81 am in the beer business"
This is temperance restaurant and
we do not use the goods, thank you"
Our member never smiled-the res
taurant keeper read the card and said:
ooh, you are opposed to beer; we'll, so
am l."
81 am glad to know that. Will put
your name with thousands of others who
are backing their convictions with their
ballots"
II can do that. | have no use for the
old parties-they represent nothing but
Offices"
That restaurant keeper signed and,
if he does not know what the old par
ties are for, no one does, situated as he
is, one or two doors from state
capitol entrance.
In addition to these our member in
this way secured three other strangers
in two days.
The moral of this is that the nation
is awake to the temperance issue. Old
party lines are all but gone, and the
Prohibitionists have but to step in and
pick up the votes,
No argument necessary.
Just ask.

OPENING OF SUMMER RE-
SORTS.

The suburban summer resorts were
formally opened on Thursday, Me
mortal day. They all were we'll pa
tronized and the crowds enjoyed the
fine weather and the beauties of the
places. Saltair had large crowd and
although it was little cool for bath
ing some ventured into the briny
deep. There is plenty of water at
Saltair this season and everything
looks very favorable for a prosperous
summer for this favorite watering
place.
The Lagoon is prettier than ever
this year. Extensive improvements
have been made and it is now one of
the most attractive spots anywhere
near the city. The lake is very pretty
and the boating good. The flowers
are even more gorgeous than in pre-
vious years.
Wandamere has been so greatly I'M
proved that its old patrons wouldn't
recognize it. As a sylvan resort it
has few equals. 1t is easy of access
and numerously patronfzed.
The Salt Palace opened the bicycle
season very auspiciously. The races
on the opening were above the aver
age and Manager Halvorsen guaran-
tees that the high standard will be
maintained all summer.
