He Saved New Orleans

AAO S0VSA ANSW OAACoAAS
A SIX the average American "Who
saved New Orleans in the War
Of 1922" and he will probably answer
why. Andrew Jackson. of course"
be equally correct to say capt. Sam
uel Chester Reid" And what is more
surprising is the fact that Reid saved
that historic city by fighting a battle
On the sea several thousand miles
away.
During the War of 1912 Reid was
commander of an American privateer.
the General Armstrong. On the night
of September 26, 1914, his ship lay at
anchor in the harbor of Horta in the
Island of Fayal in the Azores. De
spite the fact that Horta was a neu-
trail port, a large British squadron,
commanded by Commodore Lloyd, came
to attack the little American ship.
1t was a bright moonlight night
when Lloyd sent his first attacking
party of more than 100 men in four
large launches into the harbor. The
enemy opened fire as they approached
and Reid Immediately replied, driving
off the launches with heavy loss. An
other attack was made at midnight
with IA launches and 500 men who
succeeded in boarding the General
Armstrong but were driven out by the
desperate resistance of the Americans,
C1rffnrinU n Of 1O0 lilIn6 an6 1Q0
wounded. AT daybreak another attack
was made by the British brig, the Car
nation, but she was beaten off.
Realizing that he could not resist
another attack and finding his ship
badly damaged, Reid scuttled his YES
sci and safely conveyed all of his men
ashore. He had lost his ship but he
won victory that was more impor-
tant than he realized The British
lost over 800 killed and wounded while
the Americans lost but two killed and
seven wounded. But the important
fact was this: this squadron was part
of the expedition then gathering at
Jamaica for the purpose of Selling
New Orleans and they had attacked
the General Armstrong to capture her
and use her as an auxiliary vessel.
But the British squadron was so
crippled that it did not reach Jamaica
until ten days later than the expedi
ton had expected to leave there. The
expedition waited for Commodore
Lloyd and that delay was fatal to its
expected results. For by the time it
arrived in Louisiana, General Jackson
had completed his defenses for that
city and the world knows the result
of the battle which he fought there
on January s, 1915.

Georgia County Cans Surplus Food
With Steam Roller, Seized Stills

my A..eclatea Press,


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ca, Oct.
8.--A discarded steam roller and
several confiscated moonshine stills
were put to use here to save CO.,
900 cans of fruit and vegetables
that otherwise might have gone to
waste.
1t was a three-way cooperative
project that enabled this Georgia
county to see the possibilities in
its surplus garden and orchard
products project in which the
farmers, the extension service of
the state college of agriculture and
an Atlanta business house partici-
pated.
Many farm families in Gwinnett
county have well-stocked pantries,
the state college. has another sue
cessful experiment for its record
books and the needy of Atlanta
will receive q supply of wholesome
food as result of the project.
County Farm Agent A. G. Rob-
inson and W. C. Britt, a teacher
of vocational agriculture thought
up the idea of saving the surplus
fruits and vegetables in the coun-
ty, but found needed funds un-
available.
An old warehouse in Lawrence
vile was offered for use as a build
ing, but canning equipment was ex-
pensive. Then a discarded steam
roller was found that could still be
used to generate steam. A judge
of the circuit court arranged for
use of some confiscated copper
stills as boilers. The state college
of agriculture furnished other
equipment.
An Atlanta business house
agreed to furnish 10000 cans on
q $3.50 basis. The firm also agreed
to distribute its share of the
canned product to needy families
Of Atlanta during the winter.
