Woman Editor Is
Visiting Athens
Mrs. Alice Lyttle, editor and
owner of the Columbia Sentinel, b
attending the conference of farm
ers here this week at the State
College of Agriculture. While in
the city she is the guest of Con
gressmen Brand and family.
Mis. Lyttle is one of the beat
known women in the state. She
has been active in the affairs of
Georgia for many years, and dur
ing thc life of Senator Thomas E.
Watson, she held the position of
managing editor of the Sentinel.
She ia one of the most forceful
and versatile writers In the stats
and under her direction the Sen
tinel has become a po<vcr in state
and national politics.
“But, the present law must
either be abolished or must be so
amended as not to be recognizable
in decent company.”
Commenting briefly an “politi
cal hot air,” the governor-elect
stated “thc vast majority of men
and women demand that there
shall be something more in poli
tics than hot air. Service to the
people must be the watchword of
every official. If he is not willing
to give that, to consecrate him
self to what his conscience teaches
him ia the best interests of Geor
gia, then he had better step down
and out. I, for one, am willing to
do so, when I cannot believe that
what I am doing is for the welfare
of my native state.”
Referring to Georgia's educa
tional institutions Mr. Walker an
nounced his attention to ask the
i ext legislature for a larger ap
propriations to support them. He
stated, however, the citizens uf
the state would have to help by
making known their wishes to the
legislators. Larger appropriations,
he believes, can be made if the
tax system now in force is amend
ed so as to reach invisible prop
erty.
Two members of the senior class
at the University, Miss Mollie
Whitehead and W. A. Lundy, spok*
briefly preceding Mr. Walker’s ad
dress and presented the viewpoint
of the student toward the prob
lems that now confront Georgia.
Miss Whitehead, declaring that
90 per cent of the women will at
some time do home economics
work, urged that large appropria
tions for Georgia’s university sys
tem be made by the next legisla
ture so that the inadequate pres
ent facilities for teaching econom
ics and other subjects may be kept
going and enlarged.
“There moat be-continued sup
port for higher education of wo
men,” she declared. “Up till five
years ago, a Georgia girl who
wished to secure higher training
had to go to a northern universi
ty. Now she can find it within the
borders of the state.
“But the present facilities are
not enough. Each year, girls who
wish to come to the University
for certain studies must be turned
away because .the capacity in those
branches is not enough to care for
them."

out, “although Georgia probably
would have been better off had
she never raised a bale of cotton.
It is, however, a paying business,
and one that can be made a big

In concluding, Mr. Betta praised
highly the State Agricultural‘Cef-

gest asset economically of- the

Figures showing the effects ot
