There is this difference: We aw freo of mosquitoes some months in the year; we have the knocker with us every day. We suppose there is some reason in the general scheme of things for the presence of knockers and mosquitoes. Otherwise they could not exist But a community should have an occasional relief from both. The citizens of Athens Are more closely united now than ever before in the hratory of the city. Is it not a good time to give a holiday to the chap who has al ways worked so hard to keep us,informed on the rot tenness of the output of the other fellow’s business/ We have only a few here and we can easily do without those few for awhile. .... Besides the knocker can most profitably devote the time given hiip to correcting the glaring . defects ’ in his own business, which he has evidently overlooked while busily supervising the affaires of others HARDING’S CHANCES FOR RE-NOMINATION It looks now as “if. President Harding would have opposition for the renomination -for the presidency, two formidable. candidates .are looming, Hejl Roar- a, of California, when they enter the ring.

If he could only extend his Wisconsin popularity to other states, what a walk over he would have! But he may encounter trouble in persuading the people of some of the States that v we had no business entering the war” which it is said will be his slogan. * > It is said that the prospect of opposition has .caused a corresponding change of the presidential policy to meet the altered conditidns. The president is now inclined -to paddle his own ' canoe. Iif this resolution, it is said that he Will have an able assist ant in the new Postmaster-General, Harry New. It is pointed out that the advantage of having the com mand lays with the president and one of' the ' first things for him to do is to mak$ arrangements to gath er in the Southern Republican .delegates and this is what he is supposed to 4p. , NITRATE OF SODA PURCHASE The Georgia State Agricultural Department has ent W. Ti Bennett to Hermitage, Tenn., to take charge of the loading and shipment to Georgia -farmers of the nitrate of soda purchased from the United States War Department on competitive bids recently. Georgia was fortunate in securing seventy-six out of 100 awards made on the bids, the average price for the nitrate being 145.54 per ton, which with the reduction in freight charges -obtained through the State Agricultural Department, amounts to the sum of approximately $100,000 saved on the Gerirgia pur chase. Shipments will begin to move to Georgia from the government powder.plant in Tennessee the latter part of this week. The railroads have given assurances that as many cars will be provided as may be needed for prompt movement of the nitrate. Too much credit cannot be given for the skillful manner in which the entire affair has been managed by the Agricultural Department. Returned from Cuba, Earl D. Babst (president of American Sugar.Refining Co.) Bays: “The supply of sugar in the United States is ample.

WILLIAMS’ FAREWELL ADDRESS ' Senator John Sharp Wiliamr of MisI’saiopi, scholar and philosopher of the Senate, and whose resemblance 'to Mark Twain is most stiiking', and whose pungent r wit and rcathing satire have made him tne most prom- 5 inent figures in the United States Congress for the past 30 years, has voluntarily retired to the shades of private life. Mr. Williams was known to have been the most fearless and independent thihker in Congress dtiring the time of his service. His colleagues had planned to give him a big ban quet, but he declined the honor on the ground that he was in too big a hurry to get to his beloved, books. On reaching Jackosn, he issued a farewell address to the people of his state, on his retirement from pub- life life which concludes as follows: “You and I are, in the main, of the old stock that gave to the world Magna Charta, the Bill of Rights, the petition of right, liberty regulated ’ and protected by law, free parliaments and local self-government “Translated for perpetuation on this side of the Atlantic, they became the Declaration of In depence, ‘the Constitution of the United States tind the sovereignty of the several states within the' spheres of their reserved rights. “Let us remember our institutions, to hpld them sacred, and our race, to honor its blood, do ing our part in its long history continued in us, tqkeep peace and its ideals in the ’foremoat files Je'.tsey and iVew' York . and Now Maryland, too, . , ', The" two Carolina)!, Virginia—well, yop " I li S' Could aec.
