HOW DO YOU LIKE THE BANNER-HERALD
For the past two or more weeks. The Banner-Herald has
tried to give the people of Athens the very best kind of a news
paper. Jt was possible for us to print with the resources at our
disposal. We will continue In this effort as the days go by.
Whether we shall succeed in our effort to give Athens the kind
of newspaper Athens wants, we are frank to say will depend as
much qr more upon the people of Athens than upon our own
efforts.
“ In saying this—we waul to make It clear at the outset that
no newspaper, arJone and the same time, can Succeed In pleasing
all of Us readers or In continually producing the kind of newspaper
that will every day and in every way satisfy every .wish and de
sire of some 20,000 readers. It must be rcbembored thsW ln such
a largo number of readers, there are a thousand different taSJes
as to news and typography—some are uear-alg'ated and some are
Apr-sighted—some like comics—some bate them—some like pic
tures to enliven the news articles—some do not believe that a
woman's■ face should ever be put In tho paper much less such
portions *pf her anatomy as bare back or legs. And yet a news
paper In such a town as Athens must sell Its product to white and
black, rich and poor, to young and old, to the sick as well as
to the'strong. Some Job when you come to think of It
Another curious thing In newapaper making la that the putftlc,
always] a critic, seems never to take Into account the fact that a
newspaper Is after all a manufacturing enterprise with a distribu
tion system that la even more Intricate and that is constantly
presenting greeter problems than even the Post Office Department
bat to, face. It your paper la late—donkl get mad about It Call
up the' ofllce and try to And out what the trouble Is. It may be
any one of several things. A break down In the delicate machinery
that .operates the linotype machines, trouble with the gas thatl
its the metal pots, current from the local power, house may
fen a holiday tor a couple of hours. Even after the forme i
ere otf the preia, breaks again of machinery or paper webe may
cause delays, and then when the papers are counted onti and ready
for your route distribution, Johnny Jones, who le - supposed to
- carry jhls route may be sick or kept In school or hi* mbther may
“ “ grp;gent him off to visit an uncle, and your route delivery will
welt until e snbstitute for Johnny can be found., t . .
v letlrdes late deliveries are even .caused by prominent cltl-
ot Athens—the merchants themselves, jrho possibly like so

Impossible task would be even to keep satisfied the

a long standing critic of a'small town dally, and ever
for any considerable leng.li of time. If be is to re
hold his proud position In the community as a news pa- f

] Our representatives in congress
are not paid sufficiently to keep

;many demands made upon them
.as our representatives, Besides
it is expensive living id Washing
ton, a great deal more so than at
home .or any other city with which
,we are acquainted. Much is ex
pected of our congressmen and
senators which call for an outlay
of ? funds in .serving'their consti
tuents which few realize or sp.
predate. Ten thousand dollars
the year for the salary of a con-
gipsiman or senator is reasonable
to! pay for the services of a man
who Is capable of filling tho of-
fide.' Even with an increase of
$25,000 the year, wc venture to
jpikdict' that no congressman or

DOPE PEDDLER?
PROFITS.
Heye ia what thia means In the
way of profits to the dope fellers:
“Morphine, at wholesid* from
tho manufacturer, brings from a'
cent to a cent and three-quarters
a grain,” cay* Colonel Nutt. “Our
men aro buying It from dope ped
dlers at from 6G cents to as high
at. $6 a gMn.
“?'lte average .price to tho dope
user,'we rind, is about $1 a grain.
In many cities, however, it brings
$2 or better. I would place the
average at least at $1 a grain.'
Which means a “do; «" bill to
uiers in this country of at least
$600,000,000 a year.
“Tlie great bulk of the dope,”
says Colonel Nutt, “come* from
Amsterdam, Pans, London, Glas
gow and some from Oei
Spain and Italy.
"It comes in chiefly through the
•"astern and gulf ports—Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Mobile
and New Orleans. ' The amount en
tering through Pacific port*—San
Francisco and Seattle—I believe
to be relatively small.
Undoubtedly large amounts of
dope reach thia country also by
way of Mexico. Juarez and Tin
Juana. are perhaps the
points of entry. V«

The chca Ifivaee, feom which
