SO THIS IS GEORGIA
Jtaso iMaxcy, a middle aged negro of Jackson county, made
an accomodation loan to a white man. When the loan fell duo the
white man refused or failed t opay it. The negro then proceeded
. In a lawful manner to collect a legal debt. The white man accom
panied by live others, all masked, went to tho negro's house un
der cover of darkness, took him out, shot him and left him in a
rlyer to die. The negro cVnwled out of tho river, returned to
Jefferson and reported the affair to the officers.
That Is one side of the story.
The other side is this: The Grand Jury of Jackson county
composed of twenty-three good and truo men. in session Friday,
returned an Indictment against six men charged with assault with
Intent to murder Ihe negro
Fine! The action of tile Craml Jury vindicates Georgia In
tills particular case. It says in dffect: "The good people of Geor
gia made this state. They through years of honest effort and fair
dealing establlsncd good credit with outside t-ipkal and made tho
land values what they arc. The property they own represents u
life time of hard work. Tho constituted authorities of Jackson
county are going to protect the law abiding citizen within its
bounduarlcs. bo ho white or black. They are going to protect the
property he has accumulated. The masked outlaw contributes noth
ing to the upbuilring of a community. He drives labor away. Ho
curtails production. Ho destroys property values. He robs us of
our good name. He must move out of Jackson county or he will
be moved to the penitentiary whero he belongs.'’
' Hurrah, for Jackson county! Jackson now takes its pla'O
along with Oconee as the two leading Georgia counties in law ^
enforcement. •
A tnan who operates In a masked crowd hasn't tho courage
of a wild duck. Ho will assassinate in the dark, but a twenty
' horse team couldn't draw hlmlnto a fair fight with a man upon
equal terms.
Tho aggressive action acaln3t mob violence by the authori
ties of Jackcan and Oconee counties marks the beginning of tho
end of the hooded hoodlum. ,
. Yes. This Is Georgia and we are proud of tho grand old state.

* A conference of the good roads advocates of 'Georgia was held

pped bond Issuo for the state. It was decided to hold another
conference In Macon May-14. to Indorse legislation providing an
adequate bond Issuo fct r. good roads program, “not to exceed
278,000.000. committee of five was appointed, at the mcetnig

; It seems to be the concensus of the best thought that a bond
Isiie Is needed to I ut tho state to meet the requirements of onr
nine commerce ami trav* 1 as well as the inter-state require-

highways, why not Georgia? Will It not he good economy to tako

The Chamber of Commerce, the

.-ailed upon to aid the enterprise
with their services, counsel and
Ttoney.
The chief cost will be an exhibit
building, but this Investment can
be cared for by soiling commcr-
•lal Space In It. To secure this
mildlng the manager of tho fair
an if necessary pledge their ro-
elpts from the gate and commor-
Inl exhibit sales. Then n sep
arate building should bo erected
or colored exhibits, ns stated, tho

Inn adopted by all successful
fairs.

highly successful fair nt Alexan-

of Athens, says tbelr first fair
held last fall took In 211.C00 nnd

So the fair has after paying all

m a totnl stock subscription of
$2,600. The citizens of tho town
were so enthused over the success
of the lair that an election has
been called fo*voto on $200,000
In bonds to purchaso land and
build a finer fair ground.

I aakcil Col. Holman ir there
were any receipt developments in
the report that hla blldlng would
be turned into a hotel. He said ho
had signed aa agreement that
such a change could bo made, but
Mr. Alexander, the lcsace wag In
Athens recently nnd did not men
tion the matter to him. Col. Hol
man said he did not think this
ould bo dono as tho cost to make
the change would be considerable,
A gentleman In a postlon to
know tells me (hat Atlanta capi
talists propose to furnish two-
tlifrds the money to build' a fine
hotel In Athens, provided tho rest
of the cash needed Is subscribed
by local parties. He said ono ot
their agents recently visited Ath-
ens but met with no encourage
ment and ho thinks the project has
boon abandoned at least for a time.
We have In the Georgian one ot

OPENING BROAD
STREET ,
The continued traffic congestion
between the businoss section and
residence part St our' city has
again started talk of opening Broad
street from Lumpkin to Mllledgo
avenue. Several ' iiarties lately
spoko to me about ft and said it
was tbe best possible solution of
the trouble. Proporiy-owncrs on
this street will give land for tho
purpose of its widening. This
would not only give the best pos
sible outlet for overflow travel, but
will open up and add to Athens
some valuable residence properly.
A gentleman deeply interested In
the prosperity nnd development of
our city says tho beat alto for a
public park la on tho flat embrac
ing tho old Botannlal Garden and
taking In tho old wator works site
on Lumpkin Btreet. Ho says wc
have had drives In Athens to ralso
money for all manner of purposes
nnd does not seo why wo should
not get up one more drive to buy
land and have n park here. It
would bo a great addition to Ath

cludes her poem with two stan-

the spirit of loyalty and unswerv-

Rutherford by her "girls”—both,
of today and the long ago.
"Wo bring to her our fondest love
and praise.
Who shaped our livea and

For others alio has labored all her

Forming a holy bond of sister

Our love for her Is not a fading

Its living be-iuty keeps our

Hudson Maxim has been in.
vited to visit Athenx. That’c
cheering news and he should
put in a busy day here.
You know Mr. Maxim’s the
inventor of the “Mixlm Silen
cer,” which alienees anything
from a rapid firin' gatlln’ gun
to the deluded Idealiet who
preachee that “there'll be no
more war ituff.”
Here’s hoping he comes.

tion of the Army of the U. 8."

(who probably had an idea of
him getting in aome effective
work on long winded artists
ameng their own ranka)—in
extending the invitation are
tho following organizations:
Grand Order of Hen-Pecked

“3 o’clock In the Morning” Bsby-
In-Arm* Club.
Anti-Bill Collector’* Union.
Flappers Fraternity.
6ociety for the Suppression of
Soup Gurglers.
Soldiers' Bonus Qro'ip,
and—
The Butter Keaton Boys.
If these “organizations" can suc
ceed In having Mr. Maxim silence
those opposed to their -’’creeds''
they feel that his visit here will
have been highly successful.
And speaking of putting th*
muffler on, what about includ
ing those. “100 per cent Amer
icans” who believe th* time te
go to war It when the enemy
ha* landed In San Francisco,
Ney York, Charleston, Savan
nah and a few other strategic
points, thereby anabling them
to get to far back in the
mountains and away from the
recruiting statlone that even a
moonshiner wouldn’t find
them.
That’s a fine idea. Who did
win that laat war anyway? It
aeema that Germany, at least,
didn”t lose it.

Every neglected garbage can Is
a microbe nursery. In Just such
places microbes and disease germs
thrivo and multiply. Merely rins
ing tho can Is a waste of time, a
mere disinfectant may neutralize
odors hut does not cleanse. If you
want to kill the lurking germs that-
menace the family’s health you’ve
got to use lye. Uso It as directed
below-.
Lye dissolves every fragment ot
garbage left .behind, cuts tho
grease right down to the Iron and
kills tho odor*. It sterilizes every
thing it touches and leaves tho can
clean and sanitary. Use lye twice
a week at least It costa so little
and goes so far ypu (can afford to
use It unsparingly.
Directions:
With an old broom scour the In-
Hide of the can with two table-
spoonfuls of lye dissolved In 4
quarts of hot water. Rinse with
clear water ami dry In the sun.
