THOMAS GROWING MANY
SATSUMA ORANGES

THOMASVILLE,. Feb. 8. - Sat-
suma oranges are the market here
now, number of them being home
grown. Many more of them are
being planted in various parts of the
county and nurseymen say that the
demand for them for planting is
greater than the supply. These or
anges are said to stand any cold that
may come to this climate, and are
easily cultivated. The fruit sells
we'll and the growers seem to find
1t profitable. Parties returning from
West Florida state that all down in
that section of the state there are
hundreds of groves of Satsuma or
anges and more being planted all the
time.

RAILROAD STRIKE
is CALLED OFF,

DUESSELDORF, Feb. 3. The
calling off of the railroad strike by
German authorities and obedience by
the railwaymen to request of the
authorities that they may resume
work on all lines where they would
not come in contact with armed
French soldiers were the events of a
day that was regarded by observers
as having brought forth a great I'M
provement in the French position in
the Ruhr and the Rhineland. A ma
jority of the railroad workers in both
regions adopted the suggestion of the
authorities that they resume their
jobs.

not injure it by building a school
upon it when we can just as easily
secure an adjacent property Rnd
have cur school propety a we'll as a
good playground. If it were abso-
lutely necessary to use the play
ground property for school purpoes,
| would not for a moment object, but
since it is not necessary l am opposed
to taking the children's playground
for any other purpose, especially af-
ter the ladies of Americas have gone
to 50 much trouble and expense to
equip the playground for the use Of
TIC children.
1T IS true the property is not sup
ported by the city, for the ladies have
contributed thousands of dollars first
and last in keeping the grounds
equipped and in condition. Now it
would be bad for the city to break
faith with these noble women and
use the property for ONE other pur-
pose than originally intended. In
fact, | do not believe that the wo-
men of Americus will stand for any
proposition that would take away a
part of the present playground for
school purposes, though l believe
they would be willing to have the
proposed new school placed near or
adjacent to the playground.
"The city should aid the playground
association as much as possible, at
least as much as to furnish water to
the pool free of charge. The play
ground is a success under the present
management, despite the fact that it
receives no aid from the city.
"The playground property consists
in part of a lot something like so
feet wide that extend to Dodson
street. l believe there would be no
objection to the use of that part of
the property, and by acquiring 'front.'
age on Dodson street there would be
ample space for a new building.
81 have no desire to agitate this
question in any way, but simply wish
TO go on record as opposed to using
the playground for school purposes,
believing as | do that suitable prop
erty can be acquired otherwise for
the needed building"

LAST SURVIVING
MEMBER Of HERMITAGE
HOUSEHOLD PASSES
Mrs. Rachel Lawrence, Aged 80
Years, Confined To Bed More
Than Year
REST IN HERMITAGE LAND
Was Eldest Child of Presidents
Adopted Son-Lived Thirty
Years a Widow

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 3. -
Mrs. Rachel Jackson Lawrence, a
daughter of Andrew Jackson's adopt
ed son, the last surviving member
of the hermitage household of "Old
Hickory's" time, died at 7 o'clock this
morning at Birdsong, her country
home near Nashville, aged so.
Mrs. Lawrence had been confined
to her bed for more than year.
Death came peacefully. About a
month ago she turned over to the
state all the original Jackson data
in her possession.
Mrs. Rachel Jackson Lawrence,
when a child played in the White
House at Washington back in the
thirties, was the only surviving men,
ber of the immediate household of
General Andrew Jackson, seventh
president of the United States. Mrs.
Lawrence was the eldest child of
General Jackson's adopted son, An
drew jackson, Jr., and his wife, Sa-
rah Yorke Jackson.
Andrew Jackson, Jr., was born a
Donelson, being nephew of Mrs.
Jackson, but while an infant he was
adopted by the general and his name
changed by legislative enactment to
Jackson.
After General Jackson's death,
Rachel Jackson and her parents con-
tinued to make their home at the
Hermitage, and there she married on
Jan. %, 1853, to Dr. John Mar
shall Lawrence, of Tennessee.
Mrs. Lawrence's married life was
devoted to the interests of her hus-
band and her several children. Dur
ing her widowbood of more than 80
years, she had grown more and more
retiring. Only twice did she address
her efforts to public causes other
than those involved in the care and
preservation of the Hermitage. At
the st. Louis Worlds fair, Tennes-
sees building was a reproduction of
the Hermitage, and of this building
Mrs. Lawrence acted as hostess. Be-
lore that, when Tennessee celebrated
the states centennial with an expo-
sition, Mrs. Lawrence served on The
local board of women commissioners.
In 1856, Tennessee purchased the
Hermltgae property to present TO The
government to be used as a second
West Point, and the Lawrence fam
~ moved to their o,yn nome, Bird
song, - two miles distant from the
historic Jackson home. There Mrs.
Lawrence spent her subsequent
years, journeying over to the Her
mltage now and then to join in well
coming there some visitor of unusual
note. One of the most interesting of
these occasions was when President
Roosevelt visited the Hermitage in
1907.
Mrs. Lawrence will be buried in
the Hermitage garden beside her
husband, where sleep General Jack
son and his wife and other members
Of his household.
