This is leap year. As the EUijay

It will be four long years after this

Atlanta comes to the front with
some records for the old year: Big
ger building records, bigger financial
statements, more births and fewer
deaths are some of the items.
FARMERS AND KEEPING OF ACCOUNTS
Very few fanners keep strict account of the things they do. They do
not, as a rule, know juBt what they have received and what they have paid
out during the year. They have a general idea of these things, but nothing
like a set cf hooka to tell them how they have succeeded or failed and whether
or not they are getting value received from their money or efforts.
There is now a tendency on the part of farmers to remedy this situation,
to bring about a more thorough knowledge of their business at the end of
each year by keeping track of the details throughout the year.
The Savannah Morning News, commenting on this subject, says:
“Among the many other beneficial things they have done and are plan
ning to do, the farm demonstration agents of Georgia, in a conference at the
State College of Agriculture recently, determined that the time had come
when farming in Georgia should be made a strictly business proposition.
Some farms already are being conducted in a business like way, but those
which are not so numerous that their consequent losses aggregate an enorm
ous sum every year. None knows this to be true better than the demonstra
tion agent whose work brings him in almost daily contact with some of the
antiquated methods which still are emploved in carrying on a business re
cognized as the bed rock upon which all other business rest more or less.
“The farmer who buys his supplies from the community store would call
the dealer tv fool if he attempted to carry all the important details of his bus
iness In his head. Yet many farmers are attempting to do that very thing.
There is a very small percentage of them who could tell with any degree of
accuracy what their cotton, wheat, com, cane or potato crops cost them to
produce, and who know not only the initial cost of tools and implements, but
the amount of their deterioration from use, the outlay for work animals and
for feeding them, the expense of human labor and the cost of seed and fer
tilizers. No retail or wholesale mercantile dealer or manufacturer would st
and orphans, for assistance to needy
artists, for fugitives from the south
ern theater of the war, for increasing
the submarine fleet, and numerous
other specific purposes. *
A prominent Budapest newspaper,
Az Est, for instance, collected nearly
2,000,000 crowns to help the people In
the Carpathians and Northern Hun
gary to rebuild their villages which
had been destroyed during occupation
by the Russians. A clever scheme
was devised for this collection. It is
customary in Hungary to make pres
ents to a woman on a day carrying
her name in the calendar. For in
stance on St. Mary’s day, all Marys
in Hungary are remembered by their
friends. Az Est suggested that the
money to be spent, in this way, be
turned over to the village-biulding
fund.
Much of the money that is being
collected is the fruit of little self-de
nials, a single day’s list showing such
entries as the following:
“Instead of buying a new dress, 200
crowns; in place of birthday presents
for my father, 80 crowns; instead of
flowers for the grave of Capt
100 crowns; to give satisfaction in an
affair of honor, 2,000 crowns; for the
birth of a son, 200 crowns.”
There is no doubt that Austria-Hun
gary’s population, without, distinction
to class, has come loyally to the sup
port of those in the field and their
families, and those whom the war has:
deprived temporarily of means of live
lihood. While the exchange of Reel
Cross and similar funds between Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany has been
solely a matter of courtesy between
allies, Austria-Hungary has already
sent military equipment and supplies
worth over a million crowns to Tur
key, and even In Poland Austro-Hur.
garian charity work has been felt As
soon as conditions in Serbia make it
possible, it is understood that money
and supplies will be sent there also.

There is no more worthy cause to
aid just now than that of the suffer
ers from wax in France. In another
place in this issue of the Banner ap
pears an appeal from ITof. J. Lustrat
of the University—an appeal which
speaks for itself and which should re
sult iu great work here for the relief
campaign. The good people of Ath
ens need no more than a statement of
the case to respond nobly and gener
ously to an appeal of this character.
THE TURN OF THE YEARS.

much maligned bloodhounds. They
have run down and captured a fugi

were put on the trail of a negro mur
derer, it is true they merely treed
scared house-cat, and another time |
the trails crossed and they turned
man hunt into a rabbit bunt. But on |
this latest occasion their scent was |
true, and following close in their bay
ing wake, mounted county policemen
arrested an unidentified white man I
who is suspected of having attacked
and badly beaten with a club Miss
Lula Byers, who he robbed.

Raised Much Money in Austria
Hungary for the War-Sufferers
The State of Georgia and the L. &
N, Railroad, which have been sparring
for points on the Western & Atlantic
situation for some months past, have
finally come definitely to grips. At
torney General Clifford Walker, ably
seconded -by the especially appointed
Vienna, ffan. 1.—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)—Enormous
sums of money have been collected in
Austria-Hungary for charitable pur
poses during the war. No reliable fig
ures on the total obtained are yet
available, but estimates place it as
high as 210,000,000 crowns (approxf-
aseistants who will bo associated with I mately $48,000,000). Much of this
him In the big contest, is preparing I money has been applied already, but
to take legal steps to block every
move made by the L & N. Railroad In
the direction of obtaining the right to |
parallel the Western & Atlantic. The
first clash came when the L & N.
inserted in three North Georgia news-1
papers legal advertisements calling
attention to their proposed change in
large sums are still available for the
needs of those for whom it was col
lected.
The money has been raised In every
manner the fertile brains of social
leaders and newspaper editors could
devise. Charity teas and suppers;
the sale of needle work done by bo*
charter and Intention to build the so-1 ciety people; benefit performances at
called branch between Marietta and I the theaters; the public sale of art

porary injunctions stopping the news-1 plain subscriptions and' collection

sitmtion, which it is believed can, be I sion fees and entire proceeds of sale
fully protected from the standpoint I will go to the fund for blind veterans,
of 'the state’s interest. I Some of the foremost painters of the
country have contributed to the col
lection, and while many of the pic
tures are by unknown men and wom
en, there Is not one in the lot that
does not have merit of a high order
Going on at the same time are sev
eral series of lectures on the war by
the Austro-Hungarian and German
war correspondents, invalided offlosrs
and statesmen.
All social classes take an interest
in the work, and a remarkable fea
ture of it is that a year of collections
has left the ardor or organizers and of
the public almost undiminished. Con
stantly new schemes are being work
ed out, many of the recent ones as
suming tjie character of self-imposed
taxation in small amounts. Of these
a ten-heller (two cents) tax on all
bills is probable the -most successful.
Of newspaper collections that of the
Vienna Neue Freie Presse has been
the most remarkable. It has included
the raising of large sums for blind
veterans, for prisoners of war, for
Christmas presents for soldiers, for
the supply of artificial limbs, for the
Bulgalan and Austrian Red Cross, for
the tuburcular soldiers, for widows

Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up.
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N.

lain’s Cough Remedy about eight
years ago. At that time I had a ha :d
cold and coughed most of the time
It proved to be just what I needed,
It broke up the cold in a few dais
and the cough entirely disappeared

good I received through using this
medicine, and all who have used it
speak of it in the highest terms.’
