WAVES MARCONI SPEEDS MESSAGES ACROSS ATLANTIC OCEAN

From Newfoundland to Cornwall Italian Inventor Sends Message Without Wires.

St. Johns, N.F., December 14. Signor Marconi announced the most wonderful scientific discovery of modern times tonight in stating that he had received electric signals across the Atlantic ocean from his station in Cornwall, England. He explains that before leaving England he made plans for accomplishing this result, for while his primary object was to communicate with ocean liners in mid-ocean he hoped also to succeed in attaining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic.

Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall is most powerful. He has an electric force, generated there, a hundred times greater than at his ordinary stations. Before he left England he arranged that the electrician in charge of the station which is located at Poldhu, should begin sending signals daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after having perfected his arrangements here.

Signor Marconi arrive here a week ago Friday, selected Signal Hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as an experimenting station and moved his equipment there. Last Monday he cabled to the Poldhu station to begin sending signals at 3 p.m. daily and to continue until 6 p.m. these hours being respectively 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., St. Johns time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial wire by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus and to his profound satisfaction signals were received by him at intervals, according to the programme arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu.

These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter "s" which, in Marconi's code is made by three dots, or quick strokes. This signal was repeated so frequently and so in accordance with the plan, arranged to provide safeguards against the possibility of a mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied that it was a genuine transmission from England. . .

NOTE 2./ Historical Perspective thru the Presidency of the United States of America:

Andrew Jackson was President in 1832 when he ordered all Indians east of the Mississippi, to be moved West. This was one of the sadest edicts of this and for all time in the History of the United States. Andrew Jackson imposed his will on the Presidency, the people, the banking industry and the landscape of America. He was not a good delegator, and fired the members of his Cabinet, in some instances several times, when they would not do his exact bidding. He was a born fighter and dualed several times, and had two lead balls in his body from these contests. Jackson was censured by his Democratic Party for firing 3 Secretary of the Treasurys in order to change the Federal Banking methods. He was the only President to be censured. He was given the name "Jackass" by his Party, which soon became the symbol assumed by his Democratic Party. He was the first and last President to leave the Government debt free at his parting. Andrew Jackson used the Presidential veto 12 times, supassed only by Andrew Johnson (25), who took over after the assassination of Lincoln. As a final note, Johnson later missed being impeached by only one vote, because he did not want to punish the South, after the Civil War.

Summary of Slave census data:
The number of slaves owned by Enoch Mathews indicates his vast wealth for this time period. Since there is no information discovered so far indicating where, when or how he acquired the slaves, it has to be assumed that some of the aforementioned lot were brought from South Carolina, for which Charleston was a major slave trading center. His migration from South Carolina to Jones, then Crawford County Georgia was prior to 1824, since the place of birth of his first son Moses, is given as Georgia.

Enoch married Nancy MATHEWS on 11 Feb 1819 in Gray, Jones County, Georgia. Nancy (daughter of Micajah MATHEWS and Mary CROUCH) was born in 1802 in Barnwell County, South Carolina; died after 12 Jun 1880 in Crawford County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

NOTE 1./ Chancellor Genealogy
<>

William and his family moved from South Carolina to Georgia and are in the 1820 Census for Washington County, Georgia. His is listed as head of household under 45 years of age with two males under 10, two females under 10, 1 female between 10 and 16 and one between 26 and 45.

A search of the Headright Index for the Monroe County Land Lottery shows one for William Chancellor. He was living in Morrison's District, Washington County, and drew land lot 43 in the 12th Land District, Monroe County. This was on 20 July 1824. The land lot was 202 1/2 acres.

William Chancellor's will was written 29 Nov 1838 and proved 4 Mar 1839. It is our belief he died between those dates. It is also believed he was buried on the Chancellor home place in Monroe County, but no graves have ever been found. His wife Mary was in the 1840 Census as head of the household with one female between 30 and 40 years old and one male between 15 and 20 years of age.
