wolf cometh. To attempt, by some
gallant effort, to recover what Brad
dock had lost,-or to hang upon the
enemy and prevent, at least, those
numerous sealping parties, which dis
tracted with midnight murders and
deluged the d~efenceless frontiers with
blood, were brave and generous ideas,
of which he seemed incapable. But,
trembling under the general panic, he
instantly ordered the tents to be
struck, and pushing off under whip
and spur Of his fears, never halted
until he had reached Philadelphia;
where he went, Is he called it, into
winter quarters, lin the beginning of
the dog-daysD leaving the whole
frontiers OF Maryland and Virginia eX-
posed to the merciless tomahaWk.
Such feats ought to be recorded for
the benefit of young men, who, with
no military qualifications, but big
limbs, can yet covet red coats and
shoulder-knots.
Being thus shamefully deserted by
Colonel Dunbar, Washington, with his
thirty rangers, set out with sorroWful
hearts to return home. But before he
left Fort Cumberland, he dispatched
an express, to inform Governor Din
widdie. that General Braddock was
slain-his arm totally defeated-the
remnant on their march to Philadel-
phia-and the whole frontier given up
to the Indians!" The CONSERVATION
that was spread throughout the coun-
try by this news, was ineXpresslble.
Heart-sickening t~errors, as Of a wom-
an in labour, seized upon all families
and a frightened fancy found
food for its fears in every thing
around 1.-THE blast whistling round
the corners of their cabin, alarmed
like the yell of murderous savages-
the innocent death-bell-the croaking
raven-the midnight howl of dogs
were all sure harbingers of fate.
While for dread of the Indians, the
roads were filled with thousands of
distracted parents, with their weeping
little ones, flying from their homes.
The Governor instantly ordered a
call of the Legislature, who, by the
time Washington reached Williams
burg, were assembled, and together
with numbers of the citizens, went out
and met him near the town.
The interview was tender. For the
citizens were almost moved to tears,
when they saw that so many of their
brave countrymen who went forth to
battle, only this little handful remain
ed! They were exceedingly rejoiced
to see, alive and well, their beloved
Washington. He had always been
dear to them. On the contrary, it was
universally believed. that, but for him
the ruin would have been complete.
"Braddock," said they, "lost the vic
tory; but Washington saved the
army"

High -Colored Hose
Is Still Shown

ATLANTA, July 25-Now that
bright-colored shoes, or shoes with
bright-colored trimmings, are being
seen lot on Atlanta streets, the
question of hgh-colored hosiery in
matching shades again is in the fore
front of discussion in the local world
of feminity.
Although some OF the Atlanta stores
catering to a fairly smart clientele
have been featuring these high colors
and seem to think we'll of them, the
fashion experts in the Peachtree Ar
cade where many shops cater to mi
lady's vanity see no reason to change
their opinion that such colors will find
only very limited acceptance.
The combination of red, green, light
blue or yellow hose, with shoes of the
same color, is just little too garist
for the smart woman and the host OF
other women who initiate her." said
one OF the Arcade experts.
1t is believed however by some
authorities in the Arcade shopping
center that high colored hose with
white costume and white shoes, tc
match high colors in millinery or
trimmings, are likely to be favored
both for street and sport wear.
Observation of the smartly dressed
women on the streets of Atlanta dis
closes a striking predominance OF
gray, beige and nude in hosiery. The
vogue consequently is not unexpected,
although it seemed stronger even than
it promised to be some months ago.
But the nude and biege shades are de-
veloping a quite unlocked for promi-
nence, particularly in chiffon weights
according to fashion experts here.

Georgia Legislature Seems Determin-

To A Minimum

ATLANTA, July 25-It has been
many year since Georgia had leg
islature which was so seriously deter
mined as the present General Assem-
bly, is, to hold down appropriations.
The appeals from different depart
ments for more money is falling on
ears which may be sympathetic but SO
far the sympathy is chiefly for the
tax payers, as it should be, according
to some of the leading members of the
assembly.
The exposure of the great growth in
expenses of recent Years has been
widely published in the newspaper.
and the people, say many lawmakers
are demanding rigid economy.
AS rule, legislation is shaped by
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1923-07-26

the committees. Many trick has been
put over in the past by complacent
committees. This year, the commit
tees are hard-boiled when it comes to
spending money.
1t seems to be generally understood
that it will be bad politics to boost
larger appropriations this summer.
Thanks to the newspapers and espec-
tally the weeklies, the people are watch
ing the expenses because large appro-
priations mean higher taxes, it is
pointed out here.
In connection with the bill which
has been introduced to repeal the law
which created the new class of pen
sioners, it is stated, that while there

there are less than 1000 Confederate
