MAKE IT UNANIMOUS ' Tfce drive of the Chamber of Commerce for an en larged membership—and a more effectively function ing organization in consequence thereof—is already a success. The only question now is, shall we make i^.Uttanimous? . , , if'fflhlB question must be answered by approximately ' lVObcJtizeh's, which is the number that is now need ed to bring the total enrollment up to 500, as it is estimated that with a membership of 500 loyal and enthusiastic men and women actively engaged in Chamber/pf Commerce work, is nothing in the way • community advancement and commercial expan- aloitfthat is beyond attainment. . Three,Jtandred and twenty-nine representatives b*v« enr&cd to date in the Greater Chamber of Commerce, Undoubtedly this strong body of men and in, even if the drive were to end today, would lle_tOteer the Chamber into channels of use- i thdt it has never explored,before; but to at- .6 Ttiliicimum results it is desired that the mcm- p be- pushed to at least 500, hence the appeal p form of u page advertisement elsewhere in • thjitiBsue, in which— . “We invite you tc the Comradeahipl” 1 It Is a community affair, Mr. and Mrs. Athenian, . this banding together for the development of this • favored city, and if you arc interested in a bigger, ” more prosporous and more desirable community in which to live, you cannot resist this invitation of the firsjt '“329 u ; that you join with them in the big un- dertaking. Athens is going to profit by this expan- sioit program, and when Athens profits, the bene ficent effects will be felt by every man and womah wpsfdlng here.

Tod.iy the.railroMs are not able to produce the cars de manded bflthe shippers of the country. This trans portation question is particularly acute in the South I -. , and in thiS'particular section, where the demand for Bam for ftpiber, bricks and building material has been enormous and which in the next few days will be ,urgent,-,by the movement of fertilizers for the farms of-the south. Every .railroad of the country is doing what it can to increase its car supply. For the next six mdhthri at.aeast increased business activity and bet ter-business is in sight If op top of this the South can whip the boll weevil anJ produce profitably an increased ebtton crojf tlie Fall should see this section most prosperous. ,. But while these arc the signs of the times for the country and the South as a whole, what about the im mediate future of the city of Athens and-of its sur rounding trade territory? Athens must look to the 9TOJT®, to Its own future, and begin to prepare plans fWSyhicn'itB ,'uturo grcwvh and prosperity can be JWly launched.

A Puzzle A Day DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Ererything And Not Mach of Anything. By HUGH ROWB "Billy” Sunday is stirring the people of Columbia, S. C., up to a high state of excite ment, whether it is religious or otherwise. He Is managing to get the crowds la hear him and it may be that he will accomplish some good. However, we have never believed that a genuine change of heart and eouI came from undue excitement and enthu- siam worked up under such con ditions. It is argued that hard ened hearts can be reached -lirough unusual processes, and it Is the Sunday way in which to reach those who have backtracked so long that the ordinary plain gospel as expounded by the cler gyman in the usual wav fails to attract and hold that elemgnt which' has sin so deep roo'-'ed In their souls as to become blind to conservative preaching of the Word of God. That may be true, and we are glad that there is some wav in which to reach that class, but it is a question whether such changes of mind really last, and after all has been said nnd done and the excitement of tHb occasion has passed if the back- trnckcr does not return to his old life, and become even more hard ened than ever. To my mind the clergyman who' consistently lives and practices the life of Christ is 1 the one who accomplishes the most for the spiritual benefit and for the uplift.cf the community and its citizens. In the course of his remarks in Columbiu, “Billy” Sunday said! "f.f is one tiling to be a member of the church, another to be a member of the body of Jesus Christ .although they ought to be synonomon, but they arc not. There will be lots of church members in hell.” The action of the United States senate authorizing the erection of a monument in Washington to the memory of blc and meet adversities with a determination of overcoming them. Speaking of troubles, we remember lteadiqe a Uenfcdy, which fi applied, is said will re lieve. We do not guarantee the remedy for we have never 1 tried it, but in order that those who may read this can have an oppor tunity of- ‘experimenting, tee re produce the recipe in full: “Remedies for Trouble.” If you are down with the blues read the tweitty-third Psalm. If there is a chilly sensa tion about the heart, read the third chapter of Revelations. , If you don’t know where to look for a month’s rent, read ' the twenty-seventh Psalm. If you are lonesome and unprotected, read the ninety- -first Psalm. IP the stovepipe has fallen down an dthe cook gone off in a pet, put up the pipe and ■ wash your hands and read tho first chapter of St. James. If you find yourself losing . confidence in men, read 'the thirteenth chapter of I. Cor inthians. ' If people pelt you with hard words, read the fifteenth chap ter of St. John and the fifty- first Psalm. . If you arc out of sot'fe/read the twelfth chapter of He brews. After trying this remedy nnd. you find it beneficial—kindly com- mumeatc with us. The fifth annual state con vention of the Georgia De partment of the American Legion and the Woman's Auxiliary will meet fn this city on July 3, 4 and 6.

The bill providing for f will be apparent on every hand and this appropriation Was introduced i the legion boys will bo given the by Senator Williams, of Mississ ippi, which received She support of all Southern democrats in both house and senate. It is an evi dence of the appreciation‘arid the love of the people of the south for the slaves of long ago who were true and loyal to their masters and families -when adversaries ov ertook this section of the country and left it devastated. These old devoted servants never allowed freedom to change their loyulty to their whit- masters and their families, and today these old "mammies” hold in reverence the memories of their early days. Wc sll have our troubles be they small or large, but every one thinks that his troubles are the greatest of all. And what may he true; it depends largely on the individual os to his ability to throw off trou- frriertuinment of their lives. Conventions mean a great deal for any community and they are splendid advertising mediums through which to properly advertise the many ad vantages possessed for homcscek- “Edgcworth Pat” and “Beanery Phil” Uncorked their noise with , slam, While “Jimmie Bruce" he cut loose And was aided by “Golddigger S*m."

Ambassador George Harvey, our flivver diplomat .at the court of St James, in an other outburst in England, where he says he is appre ciated more, '.linn at home— and .for one time ho came near the truth—is alleged to have said, “The U. S. is damned well out of Europe.” Maybe George got public sen timent’s comment twisted af ter his summons home by his boss and should have said, “America would do. damned well.if I were out of Europe.” WONDER IF ALL THAT TROUBLE IN THE VETERANS' BUREAU COULD RESULT FROM THAT MAN IJAMS WHO IS AN OFFICIAL THERE?

ITER POWER NEAR ATHENS VALUABLE BY T. LARRY GANTT. Our bankers, merchants nnd cit izens generally are not only unit ed. but are now doing a great work for Athens. They are holding frequent meetings, luncheons and other gatherings to dlscnss what our city needs and to put the ma chinery to work to accomplish these ends. Diflnlto plans are map ped out and committees appoint ed to Investigate and further tham. Now as every one conceeds, the most Imperative demand for our city Is more manufacturing enter prises and bigger payrolls. Hart well has set us an example ot what we should do. This enter prising town has offered a new cotton mill, fifty acres of land and tax exemption tor ten years. To Induce capitalists to Invest In our city we must -offer as good In ducements as rival places. Now ooo ot tho chief requisites for a manufacturing plant Is cheap and abundant power. Athens Is i>ccu- llarly well situated tor this. I see from the last issue ot the Elbcr- •on Star that there is dcveloned power on the Savannah river that will turn all the wheels we want. There are four shoals on the Sa- vdonah with an aggregate Tall of 123 feet, and two shoals on Broad river with a fall of 68 feot. Then tho smaller streams In our sec tion o'n develop conslderabl) more eater power.
