HOW THE NAME ORIGINATED.

Georgia crackers and Florida
crackers come from the same deriva-
tive. that is, the name does, and the
early settlers from the former State
who drifted across the line to Flor
ida naturally brought the name with
them as a part of their belongings
and 1t has stuck ever since to them
and their descendants. There is
nothing in the name to be ashamed
OF, either in its origin or its asso-
citation, and here is authentic infor-
nation from the Valdosta (Ga.)
Tines as to how it started:
I'm one of the school histories OF
Georgia Glarris, we believed the Or
igin of the term is explained as fol-
lows: Many years ago. before rail-
roads were built from the up-country
t. the coast, the merchants OF the
upper section used to haul their mer-
chandise from Savannah in large
wagons, with four to six mules pull
ing them. These wagons would go
in caravans and the drivers would
carry huge whips with long crackers
Oh the ends. The coming of the car
a,ans could be noted by the popping
OF the whips even before the teams
would get in sight, and people along
the way began to refer to the trad
ers as Crackers Here come the
crackers would be said as they
would come in sight. The term was
later applied to persons who carried
. whip and hence the people from
the countrywide usually drove to
designated az crackers
Like 'hoosier' a. applied to Indian
ians. or 'tarheer to North Carolin-
ians. the word cracker IL no longer
'pizen' to Georgians and is accepted
az merely meaning a native citizen
or one to the manner born"

habit still persists among some OF
the newspapers Of fixing the day
laborer" stunt upon tho youthful
years Of our public men who rise
suddenly from State to national re-
pute, and Governor Trammell has
not escaped. The governor is day
laborer all right and fully earns his
wages. but 1t didn't come as hard
during his early years as some Of
the imaginative press writer's at .
distance make 1t appear. The Pa
jatka News gets the record straight
~ follows:
IAN item is going the rounds Of
the northern press to the effect that
Governor Park Trammell. of Flor
ida, began life as day laborer and
won his way to distinction. He VA
born on farm, and at an early age
began picking and packing ornges.
At 16 he went to Tampa, worked six
years, supported himself. got out Of
debt and paid for his law course.
While there is much of truth in the
above statement, 1t Is misleading
Governor Trammell not only began
life as laborer, but he has kept or

worked his way to distinction. Blu,
