<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day (well, earlier this week) in 1897, the <i>Weekly Banner</i> shared this daring story of a six-person escape from the Clarke County jailhouse:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Physical descriptions of the suspects were provided in the paper:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">John Spratlin is about 22 years old, 6 feet tall, weight about 180 pounds, ginger cake colored.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Taylor Findley, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, weight about 160 or 165 pounds, ginger cake color.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Linton Findley, black, about feet 10 inches, weight about 160 pounds, short beard on face when escaped, about 27 years old.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Robert Harris, mulatto, about 22 or 23 years old, thin mustache, right leg a cork one, weight about 130 pounds.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Henry Armstrong, about 23 or 24 years old, 5 feet 7 inches, weight about 150 pounds, black.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">George Whitfield, very black, about 5 feet 10 inches high, weight about 160 pounds, 22 years old.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The escape actually occurred several days before, but daily papers from the week of the event are not available. Despite one of their escapees having only one good leg, the sheriff and the special deputized officers searched all night and found "not a clew," calling the escape with a saw "a profound mystery." The paper reassured its readers that "It is believed they will be captured...sooner or later."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By February 26th, the $25 reward offered for Armstrong, Harris, and Whitfield were withdrawn, but kept in place for the Findley brothers and John Spratlin. Linton Findley was later caught in Putnam county in March, where officers there collected a $175 reward (the $25 from Clarke and $150 offered by the state of Georgia). He was tried and found guilty of murder in April, and scheduled to hang on May 7th. There is no mention of his brother or the other escapees being captured within the next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1831, the <i>Athenian </i>posted this breakdown of the population count for Clarke county and the city of Athens:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In 1831, Clarke county was significantly larger than it is today, including all of the land now in Oconee county, which cut Clarke in half when it was <a href="http://accheritage.blogspot.com/2010/11/24-november-1871-if-athens-gets.html" target="_blank">created in 1875</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The black population is almost equal to the white population, but most interesting is the 29 "free colored" people living in Clarke county in 1831. Georgia had some of the harshest laws for free blacks, including forbidding them from becoming masons or mechanics, skills that would likely lead to economic stability. Georgia and Virginia were the only two southern states that did not allow free blacks to vote.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The state also gave anyone who suspected their supposedly white neighbors of only pretending to be white to take them to court to make them prove they had less than 1/8th "Negro blood," lest they continue to have the privileges of marriage, literacy, suffrage, and professional employment. However, despite such hardships, free African-American communities did exist, such as <a href="http://www.africanamericanspringfield.org/" target="_blank">Springfield</a> near Augusta, Georgia.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mayor J. F. Rhodes was chairman of the committee to draft a constitution and by-laws for the organization, and after his presentation, both passed with "a few minor amendments." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The meeting schedule would be on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, with quarterly items on the agenda in January, April, July, and October, and their annual meeting in January. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A total of 17 committees were being formed, covering Agriculture, Education, New Enterprises, Express Service and Railroad Transportation, Advertising and Publicity, Postal and Telegraph Service, and one covering Streets, Roads, and Parks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Board of Directors would be the officers and the chairmen from the Arbitration, Finance, and Manufacturers committees. Once committees were organized, they would "take up several matters of importance to the city and discuss and act upon them."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stated the <i>Weekly Banner</i>, "It is the universal opinion that this new business organization will do much toward advancing the interests of the city." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On this day in 1911, a small notice appeared with other brief local news items in the <i>Athens Banner</i>:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkisDCL5-omKEGhbhCMBPJ_quJrykOZKmN8VkiJIuSTD2X-W9ImyGzbGuYY4RGC3RZrnAWcPwvVS0pere9aNw5mNfD6MVzSbkmh8g5BHFTrY3jEN9YXOK-DcbAekugnxqZJIb_ot9-8Ant/s1600/12Jan1911hookwormpost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkisDCL5-omKEGhbhCMBPJ_quJrykOZKmN8VkiJIuSTD2X-W9ImyGzbGuYY4RGC3RZrnAWcPwvVS0pere9aNw5mNfD6MVzSbkmh8g5BHFTrY3jEN9YXOK-DcbAekugnxqZJIb_ot9-8Ant/s400/12Jan1911hookwormpost.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The doctors were in Athens as part of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease. In the report issued a few weeks later by the commission, they singled out the State Normal School's initiative:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the State Normal School, at Athens, Georgia, the student teachers are being given instruction in hookworm disease to the end that they as teachers may be able to give definite instruction to the children in their own schools.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The work done at the Normal School was part of the report focusing on educating primary school children about "the dangers of soil pollution and how to avoid them." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the early 20th century, hookworm was a common problem in the United States, especially in the South, where the warm, humid weather allowed hookworm larvae to thrive. The hookworm larva typically infects through the sole of the foot, migrates through the bloodstream to the heart and lungs, and then matures to adulthood in the small intestines of its mammal host. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though it is only infectious in its third larval stage, that stage can last three to four weeks. Once inside the host, the worm can get as long as 11 millimeters and live for over two years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Rockefeller used a part of his vast fortune to fight against hookworm infection in the United States, starting in 1910. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though
some people would only have gastrointestinal symptoms when infected
with a few hookworms, poor diet and/or a severe infection caused anemia
and protein loss. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The Sanitary Commission helped fund outhouses at schools and stressed the importance of rural children to wear shoes to avoid infection. Within just five years, the organization had made great headway and significantly reduced the number of infected individuals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today, there are approximately 576 to 740 million people infected with hookworms worldwide, primarily in developing countries. Doctors who treat people with hookworm, however, began to notice that children with hookworms had far fewer occurrences of asthma and weaker reactions to allergens, which has led to controlled experiments with hookworm infection in healthy individuals in hope of isolating the way the worms slow down the immune system and alleviate allergy symptoms. The plan is to reproduce the mechanism the worms use, since actual infection with hookworms is both dangerous and disgusting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On this day in 1903, the <i>Weekly Banner </i>noted the changes to the Clarke County school year gave it the distinction of being "the only county in the state of Georgia...that can boast of a system of rural schools of nine months term each year."</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though the article comes across as more town bragging by the editors of the <i>Banner</i>, they were right that the nine-month school year was an outlier in American public education at the time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the early 1900s, children in the United States encountered school years that were typically 4-5 months long (officially 147.2 days as an average), and attendance was closer to 3-4 months (101.7 days were average) every year. The low attendance is likely a side effect of the expectation that children had to help support their family, either with planting, harvesting, or other areas of the family business.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Also announced in this article were the night schools established at two of the primary factories in town. These schools were aimed at children who worked at the factories (and often lived close by) to make it possible for them to gain a basic education despite the economic demands placed on them. Children who worked elsewhere, such as making harnesses or buggies or being apprenticed to a blacksmith or another trade, were also welcome at these evening classes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The National Child Labor Committee, a group advocating for child labor restrictions, formed in 1904, but federal regulations and oversight would not be passed in the United States until 1938.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1906, news of long delays in service for the Athens Electric Railway's trolley service was published in the <i>Weekly Banner</i>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Quite a while" in this case was until early January, 1907, when the company began installing new poles and stringing "heavier" and "much better" wire throughout the system. It was promised that "there would be no further delays caused by broken wire." (This promise was kept until a severe sleet storm in February, 1908.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first successful electric railway system was developed by Frank J. Sprague, who created the suspension and pulley system that became the standard for cities all over the world. It was installed over 12 miles of tracks in Richmond, Virginia, in 1887, and by 1895, 900 U.S. cities had electric railways, with 11,000 miles of rails. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most cities had privately run systems, such as Athens Railway & Electric company, which ran the trolley system until March, 1930, when they changed over to a short-lived city bus system.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1921, this one national Kodak ad was run in the <i>Athens Banner</i> for two local businesses:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />The more expensive Autographic Kodak cameras had been introduced in 1914, and allowed the user to write the date (or other information) on the film. When developed, the picture included the data written at the time the photograph was taken. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Though George Eastman had paid the inventor of this system $300,000.00 (akin to millions today) to use it exclusively for his Kodak cameras, changes in photographic technology made it unworkable by the 1930s. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Brownie had been introduced in 1900, and was the first camera made for the every man, woman, and child at a price of $1.00, akin to about $30.00 in today's money. You can see images of these early Brownie cameras by <a href="http://www.browniecamera.nl/all_usa_canada_brownies.html" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1909, the Southern Land Company offered a free piano to anyone buying one of the few remaining lots in the relatively new Lynwood Park subdivision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lynwood Park was originally part of the Ferdinand Phinizy estate, near the Cobbham area. In 1906, the suburb was mapped out into lots, spanning from Milledge Avenue to the city limits, and included the West Hancock and Reese Street areas. It became "a little town within itself" for the African-American doctors, dentists, educators, builders, ministers, business owners, and other professionals lived and worked.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1899, and many days during the week, Athens Steam Laundry on Broad Street ran this somewhat creepy version of Santa Claus in their ads for their business:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Athens Steam Laundry often ran ads associated with the holidays, including one the following year featuring <a href="http://accheritage.blogspot.com/2010/11/17-november-1900-turkeys-in-finery-make.html" target="_blank">well dressed turkeys in starched collars</a> around Thanksgiving. By 1903, the business moved from its location on West Broad to where the <a href="http://www.classiccitybrew.com/globe.html" target="_blank">Globe pub</a> is today.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1904, the <i>Weekly Banner</i> published news of a recent local marriage that required some persuasion of the bride's parents:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">LOCKED</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Up Young Bride, But Parents</b></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Finally Give Blessings</b></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>to Happy Couple.</b></div>
</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Love laughs at locksmiths is true but sometimes love forgets and gets locked up again.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
The first part of the aphorism was proven true on Sunday afternoon when Mr. Pink Hilyard and Miss Ophelia Hughes were married at the home of a friend near Winterville.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Mr. Hilyard brought his bride back to the city and they went to the home of the bride's parents. A stormy scene followed and the parents refused to let Mr. Hilyard see his wife.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Later during the evening the refusal was still adhered to and not until yesterday morning did the parents of Mrs. Hilyard relent and give the young couple their blessing.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: right;">
--Weekly Banner, 2 December 1904, p. 5, col. 7.</div>
</span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Alas, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes had good instincts. Robert Pink Hilliard was well known in town for being arrested as drunk or disorderly (or both) rather than for being an industrious young man with a bright future. He was also only 18 years old, and Ophelia had only turned 16 a month earlier. In the 1904 Athens City Directory, his profession is listed as painter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the 1910 U.S. Census, Ophelia and Pink were living with his parents on Lumpkin Street, with Ophelia at home, caring for their two sons, Hughes, age 4, and Douglas, age 2, and Pink listed as now working as a "hackman," or public carriage driver. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=eFwTAAAAYAAJ&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">1909 Athens City Directory</a> lists Ophelia as living with her sister on Oconee Street, indicating the marriage was already showing signs of strain. Pink continued to rack up fines from his <a href="http://athensdocket.org/search?first_name=pink&last_name=hillyard&encoding=metaphone" target="_blank">frequent appearances the Mayor's Court</a>, to account for his for disorderly drunken behavior, at a cost of $2.50 to $30.00 per conviction. In 1912, he and two of his friends were convicted of robbery and sent to prison. Pink was pardoned and released in 1915.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the 1920 U.S. Census, Pink is found living in a boarding house in Augusta, Georgia, with an occupation of "painter" and marital status of "married." Ophelia and her boys are still living with her older sister, Alma, who worked as a bookkeeper for <a href="http://accheritage.blogspot.com/2009/12/14-december-1914-why-not-victrola.html" target="_blank">Bernstein Brothers Furniture Store</a> and was active in the Y.W.C.A. Extension Club. Though Ophelia lists her marital status as "divorced," she would not officially file for divorce from Pink until August, 1928. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Neither Ophelia nor Pink would ever remarry. Pink would live out his days in boarding houses and Y.M.C.A. rooms in Augusta, dying in 1958 at the age of 70. Ophelia spent her life in Clarke County, dying in 1965 at the age of 77.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this day in 1916, the Seaboard Railroad advertised this round-trip deal to see the University of Georgia football team take on the University of Alabama football team in their last game of the season on Thanksgiving Day: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Georgia won 3-0 in a game that ended on a last-minute turnover when a Georgia player scooped up an Alabama fumble from inside the 5-yard line. <a href="http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/alab-m-footbl-sched-1916.html" target="_blank">Alabama</a> had won its first six games of the season, but ended 6-3 after the loss to <a href="http://www.georgiadogs.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/1916-schedule.html" target="_blank">Georgia</a>, who also ended the 1916 season at 6-3.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By the time the next season would have begun, most of the Georgia football players, as well as <a href="http://www.georgiadogs.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/former-coaches.html" target="_blank">Coach Cunningham</a> and Assistant Coach Dave Paddock, were engaged in World War I; five would not survive the war, and only two of the lettermen, Owen Gaston Reynolds and Arthur Pew, Jr., would return to the gridiron.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The 1917 and 1918 seasons were cancelled, and Georgia did not play football again until October 4, 1919, in a win over the Citadel. Coach Cunningham returned in 1919 to coach Georgia to a 4-2-3 season, but then left college athletics to pursue a career in the United States Army, where he reached the rank of General.</span><br />

<span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>On this day, we'd like to ask for your help to make the dream of easy microfilm scanning a reality in the new Heritage Room.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The ScanPro 2000 is a cutting-edge digital microfilm
scanner that offers a wide variety of viewing and editing functions
while remaining easy to use. </span><span>Clarke-Oconee
Genealogical Society (COGS) has committed to providing $6500 toward
this machine after seeing it demonstrated at national meetings and at
the COGS EXPO. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The Heritage Room must raise the remaining money
($6500.00) toward this machine before December 2012. A new version,
ScanPro 3000 coming out in early 2013, has a much larger camera (21
megapixel instead of the 6 megapixel). The price will also be higher. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>However, if we can purchase and take delivery of the ScanPro 2000 <b>before
the end of this year</b>, the company will upgrade our machine to the new
camera when it comes out at no extra charge. This is too good to pass
up!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On this day in 1911, the <i>Athens Banner </i>published an overview of the previous night's performance of <i>The College Widow </i>at the <a href="http://accheritage.blogspot.com/2011/03/25-march-1918-make-date-with-cleopatra.html">Colonial Theatre</a> downtown, starring baseball great Ty Cobb.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Many baseball players took work as actors in the off-season, some appearing in serious plays, others in vaudeville theater acts, and still others in goofy silent films. Cobb, however, believed acting would not fit him, turning down the original offer to do the play by saying, "I'd go out there and make a horse's ass of myself."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Eventually, playwright George Ade and vaudevillian Eddie Foy, both friends of Cobb, convinced him to take the part of Billy Bolton, an All-American halfback. He had a three-month contract worth $10,000.00. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Large crowds turned out to see Cobb more than the play itself, which was a romantic comedy about an attractive young widow luring athletes to her school to play for the football team. <a href="http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/C/CollegeWidow1927.html"><i>The College Widow</i></a> was made into a silent film in 1927, and later a talkie in 1930 with the title <a href="http://shop.tcm.com/eleven-men-and-a-girl-dvd/detail.php?p=356407&ecid=PRF-TCM-100188&pa=PRF-TCM-100188"><i>Eleven Men and a Girl</i></a> and featuring actual members of 1929 All-American football team.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When <i>The College Widow </i>came to the south, Cobb was honored with dinners and presentations in every town. In Athens, "a Dutch dinner" was given at the Elks Club after his performance, and during the repeated encores after the second act of the play, Cobb was presented with a football sweater emblazoned with a Georgia "G" by the Georgia football team captain, "Kid" Woodruff; Cobb wore the sweater during the third act of the play. Cobb's mother and sister were in the audience at the Colonial, travelling from Royston to see him in the performance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However, Cobb
was right that he did not have the temperament for acting. He would
drink between acts, and argued with Ade about how few of the comedy's
jokes were his lines, causing rewrites as the play toured. After six weeks, Cobb quit the play in Cleveland, and returned to his home in Detroit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1911 was one of Ty Cobb's most successful years as a ball player: he hit .420, had 248 hits, scored 147 runs, had 144 runs batted in, stole 83 bases, and lead the league in doubles and triples. Of his brief foray into acting, Cobb later said, "I looked silly as an actor, but the money was right."</span><br />

On this day in 1913, the <i>Athens Banner </i>relayed this story about a police officer who took pity on one of their arrested men:</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The "iron badge of honor" likely refers to the Southern Cross of Honor bestowed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, starting in 1900. Few Confederate medals were awarded during the Civil War due to metal shortages, and at veterans reunion in Atlanta in 1898, Mary Ann Lamar Cobb Erwin proposed the UDC bestow honor medals to veterans. Sarah E. Gabbett of Atlanta designed the medal, which was approved the following year by the UDC. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The first medal was awarded to Mrs. Erwin's husband, Judge Alexander S. Erwin of Athens, who had fought at Gettysburg during the war. The Cobb-Deloney Confederate Veterans passed a resolution that the Judge receive "the No. 1 medal," "this gift of honor to southern heroism and true Confederate gallantry." </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The UDC awarded crosses to 78,761 men between 1900 and 1913.</span> It was against the law in some states (and still in Virginia) to wear a Southern Cross of Honor not bestowed to you, so the "unknown man" was probably a veteran of the Civil War, one who, like many, fell on hard times in the following years. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Typically, a 360 violation cost the offender a $5.00 fine plus $1.25 in court costs, equivalent to $146.00 today. Many violators would pay such a fine over a period of weeks, $1 or $2 at a time. Those who did not have a steady income would be forced to work off the fine at 50 cents per day on public works projects in town, such as paving roads or installing the city's sewer system. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">According to the <i>Athens Banner</i>, the <span style="font-size: small;">quartet had been brought to town <span style="font-size: small;">by "leading educators of the city, University professors, public school <span style="font-size: small;">teachers, and some of the leading citizens." The event was a fundraiser for the Model<span style="font-size: small;"> and Training School in Clarke County, <span style="font-size: small;">started in 1903 by <a href="http://accheritage.blogspot.com/2011/06/12-june-1913-benefit-for-model-training.html">Judia Jackson Harris</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Booker T. Washington organized the Tuskegee Singers quartet in 1884 "to 'promote interest in the Tuskegee Institute</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">' by acquainting benevolent audiences to the Tuskegee name and Washington philosophy. " Washington believed African-Americans should be self-sufficient, and philosophy shared by the Model and Training School, which taught basic academic subjects, but also offered vocationa<span style="font-size: small;">l education. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Tuskegee Singers were reorganized in 1909, and actually involved seven or eight young men at a time. They recorded albums of their music, mostly spirituals. The <i>Banner </i>noted, in their story anticipating the November 3rd program, that "every store handling first class victrola records has selections from the very quartet to be here tomorrow night."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The program was reviewed in the paper the next morning as "excellent" and "a real treat." </span>To hear the songs sung by this particular group of singers in 1915, click <a href="http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/talent/detail/23020/Tuskegee_Institute_Singers_Vocal_group">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On this day, Albon Chase began advertising a new set of books, available together or individually at his "Book-Store," for the impressionable young men and women of Athens. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Primary education in 1844
was reserved for those who could afford both to pay to have their
children educated and did not require their labor at home.</span> Athens had a highly literate population, but there were no free schools. The cheapest schools in the 1840s charged $3.00 per quarter for basic primary education, akin to $93.10 in today's dollars. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Those with more money could hire private tutors for their children, or send them to one of the local academies that taught basic English, grammar, writing, rhetoric, arithmetic, geography, history, chemistry, astronomy, Latin Greek, natural philosophy, music, drawing, painting, and French. Schools such as The Female Academy (which offered co-ed education), offered subjects on a sliding scale ranging from $4.00 per quarter for the most basic instruction to $8.00 per quarter for everything except more artistic pursuits, which could be purchased as separate lessons. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Most education for girls focused on softer learning, such as arts, recitation, and French, rather than the speeches of Cicero or higher mathematics. It was this lack of rigorous higher education for women that caused the Lucy Cobb Institute to be founded in 1858, for Athenians believed their daughters should be as well educated as their sons, and did not want to send them away to school for the necessity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Albon Chase was a member of the class who could afford education for his children. He was born in New Hampshire in 1808. became the publisher of the <i>Southern Banner </i>1832. He established with John Linton the Pioneer Paper Manufacturing Company located on Barber Creek, just southeast of Athens, a venture that cleared 60% profit in its first year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In 1845, he moved the newspaper offices to a three-story wooden building at the corner of College Avenue and Front Street (now Broad), with his newspaper offices above the bookstore. Many newspaper publishers also printed books, ledgers, and other sorts of paper materials for sale other than news; Chase also offered colored wrapping paper for gifts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He retired from the <i>Banner </i>in 1846 after 14 years of work, but his son, William, purchased part of it in 1858 and acted as co-editor. According to the book <i>Antebellum Athens</i>, "political opposition charged that regardless who was the editor, the Banner was controlled by Howell Cobb."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Chase was a founding and guiding member of other local business ventures, such as the National Bank of Athens, the Athens
Building & Loan Association, the Georgia Equitable Insurance
Company, and the <a href="http://www.southernmutual.com/about/history.cfm">Southern Mutual Insurance Company</a>, where he served as
Secretary until his death in 1867.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He was also active in the practical running of Athens, serving as one of the city's first commissioners, starting in 1839, and representing Ward 2 off and on until 1859. In 1852, Albon Chase served as Intendent of the city, akin to being Mayor today; Chase Street is named for him. Two of his homes are still standing in Athens, at the corner of Hull and Clayton Streets downtown (now apartments), and at 243 Dearing Street. He is buried at <a href="http://www.oconeehillcemetery.com/">Oconee Hill Cemetery</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On this day in 1892, the <i>Banner </i>newspapers advocated for the students who were "very desirous of entering into collegiate games of football."</span></span><br />

Physical strength was seen as the basis for mental and moral strength as well. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adapted from rugby<span style="font-size: small;">, football <span style="font-size: small;">was primarily a <span style="font-size: small;">running game (the <span style="font-size: small;">forward pass was no<span style="font-size: small;">t implemented until 1906, as a safety <span style="font-size: small;">concession), and players wore little padding o<span style="font-size: small;">r other protection durin<span style="font-size: small;">g the course of the game.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

There was a football team that had played two games in the winter of 1892<span style="font-size: small;">, beating Mercer College 50-0 at what is now Herty Field on Nort<span style="font-size: small;">h Campus, and losing to Auburn 0-10 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">On this day in 1899, the story of the burglary of the "bedding, furniture, crockeryware, and clothing" of Mr. Joe Brightwell was published on the front page of the daily <i>Athens Banner </i>as well as the <i>Weekly Banner</i>:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unfortunately, no further news was published about the robbery, so it is thought that Mr. Brightwell's goods were never recovered, nor the guilty parties ever brought to justice.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On this day in 1914, Georgia Tech provided both a marching band and the location of Grant Field for Georgia football game with North Carolina in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets, as they were already known, were playing Alabama in Birmingham, and did not need the field.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9JQNhe146QO9eGkVcNCayEprmCot-jao76urAMF7DpR_J14fkzsK7tFNVJZiulAV2-XX96C4tDXV_Z_S5eAxhUAdC-eoPnTUaMMvwpUOlvRFP5Q_BveyNy8vLr-GbCh1nFweJQW3xbcv/s1600/16Oct1914GTbandpost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9JQNhe146QO9eGkVcNCayEprmCot-jao76urAMF7DpR_J14fkzsK7tFNVJZiulAV2-XX96C4tDXV_Z_S5eAxhUAdC-eoPnTUaMMvwpUOlvRFP5Q_BveyNy8vLr-GbCh1nFweJQW3xbcv/s1600/16Oct1914GTbandpost.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kickoff was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and admission cost $1. At the time, Grant Field seated approximately 800 people with no seats in the endzones. Both teams had won the previous week, and in their meeting in 1913, Georgia had won, 19-6.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However, it was not to be Georgia's day, losing 41-6 to the Tar Heels; Georgia even lost the coin toss. The <i>Atlanta Constitution</i> noted that North Carolina "have a 'real' football team. There is no getting away from that fact. They have a machine that looks far superior to any football team that has performed in Atlanta in the past six or seven years." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the Athens newspaper, it was noted that while Georgia fans appreciated the efforts of the Georgia Tech band, and therefore sympathized with them for their 13-0 loss to Alabama, their rendition of "Glory" wasn't so much a fight song as "a dirge." And that from now on, maybe going without a band at all is a better option than using Georgia Tech's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Georgia would not win another game that year, losing their next four games (including to Tech) before tying Auburn 0-0 in the season closer, to end 3-5-1. Tech ended the season 6-2. North Carolina went 10-1, losing to Virginia by 17 points in their last game.</span><br />

Hear Ye! Fantastic Scanner Demo on October 23rd!<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On this day, we hope you will mark your calendar to come to the Athens-Clarke County Library's new Heritage Room space to see a demonstration of the incredibly cool <a href="http://scanpro2000.com/index.html">ScanPro 2000</a> microfilm scanner and image processor on <b>Tuesday, October 23rd</b>. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This machine is simple to use, and has powerful, automatic enhancement options for the image you are trying to scan. The Heritage Room staff saw an early demo of this new development in microfilm scanning a couple of years ago, and </span><span style="font-size: small;">could not have been more impressed by the quality of the images created and the easy, intuitive interface. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">While no technology can fix every bad roll of microfilm, the improvements made by the ScanPro to your scanned images are something to see for yourself! <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A representative from Palmetto Microfilm Systems, Inc., will be here to demonstrate the ScanPro 2000, including information on how to copy microfilm and
digitize the images.</span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On this day in 1912, a small item appeared between news about the upcoming Stewart County soil survey and an ad for the Atlanta Coal and Ice Company ("phone 117") in the <i>Athens Banner</i>:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Says Athens Is a Plenty Good</span></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. L. M. Leathers, who moved to Atlanta several months ago, has returned to Athens. He prefers Athens to Atlanta. He will be at his place of business at 1366 Foundry street. His family will return in a few days.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">- Athens Banner, 10 October 1912, p. 8, col. 4.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">According to a mid-century business directory for the city of Athens, the L. M. Leathers company started in 1907 and moved to Athens in 1909. They specialized in roofing and other metal work, including doing all the cornice, sheet metal and roof work on the new courthouse in 1913. Their phone number for decades was 264.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Mr. Leathers retired from the company in 1942, and his three sons, Fred, Claude, and Milton, took over the business. By the 1940s, their manufacturing building was located at <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/z33d8">675 Pulaski Street</a>, and the company had expanded their offerings to refurbishing Coca-Cola bottling equipment, and "</span><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">orchestrated the mass production of two of America’s favorite snacks- the peanut butter cracker and the Moon Pie."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Their manufacturing building was refurbished by Athens firm <a href="http://docunlimited.com/leathers-building/">D.O.C. Unlimited</a>, with an emphasis on retaining much of the original structure, including skylights, the company name on the exterior of the building, and high ceilings with brick walls inside, while also making the space pedestrian-friendly with plant beds and platforms that act as porches for the businesses now in the space. In 2005, the renovation won an award from the <a href="http://www.achfonline.org/">Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Some of the current occupants of 675 Pulaski Street include <a href="http://www.rubbersoulyoga.com/">Rubber Soul Yoga</a>, <a href="http://www.koonsdesign.com/">Koons Environmental Design</a>, and <a href="http://www.shirazathens.com/">Shiraz Fine Wine & Gourmet</a>.</span><br />
