NATIONAL GOOD ROADS MEETING The good roads enthusiasts of Athens should re joice that the national good roads conference is to be held at Greenville, S. C., which is only a few hours’ drive from this city. It will present a splendid opportunity for getting the latest dope op. road con struction as well as everything else pertaining to the subject of good roads. A splendid program has been arranged cbvering three days and tho proceedings promise to be most interesting, not only to partici pants, but to onlookers who take an interest in public affairs. In conjunction with the conference there will be a national road show which will be of even greater interest to road builders and others. The conference is to be held under the auspices of the Bankhead Na tional Highway Association and the United States Good Roads 'Association. Director General Thomas H. McDonald, of the Federal Roads Bureau, has written to the head of the conference that government ’. ... engineers' and experts will be on hand to demonstrate * and explain the government exhibit, consisting of models of bridges and roads and iiluminnted trans parencies of Federal and forest service roads, to- . gethcr with views of different t.Vpes of highways un- ; der construction. i!. . “Three Windows of a Road,” in which are shown : | three views of the services that highways afford to rural communities and to cities, will be exhibited. This constitutes the centerpiece of the government s ' road show. North Carolina, which is the leading . state of the south in highway construction and the leading state of the union with the possible exception V. of California, will have an exhibit of its own in addt- j >' tion to which there will be other state exhibits. It is ,’v also expected that Georgia, South Carolina and Ala bama particularly will have exhibits. ..' Atlanta is expected to have a full representation ns well as other cities in Georgia. Athens should send The \ Savannah Morning News carrieo this story in its columns a few days ago: Dr. A. R.

Adams. The fact that a man Is called to the ministry Is no reason why he should be ex !>ectod to accept insults or to bo Jeered with any more so than tho f layman.

SILK STOCKINGS “CHEAP” It is an old saying that you cannot get “something for nothing.” Several Hartwell women bought some fine silk “ stockings from an agent who was making a house-to- house canvass. The agent praised his wares. His j goods were as fine as those sold by Hartwell mer- - chants, he claimed. Despite that he was selling them much cheaper than Hartwell merdhants sold • them.' . The Hartwell women believed the agent. They ■ bought many pairs of silk hosiery from him. The stockings have never arrived, although the agent vis ited the city of Hartwell several weeks ago. They paid cash for the hosiery, too. < A few days ago another Hartwell woman bought ■ a bolt of silk cloth for $6. “It is easily worth $20,” !' ^declared' the 'agent. Perhaps it was. The cash was '■paid him and when the Hartwell woman unwrapped ,’her package she found a bolt of cotton cloth. Luckily, she rcported'thc swindle in time for the of ficers to arrest the man. Perhaps people will realize some day that strang- . ere who try to give them “bargains” do not always *' *come across with the goods. It is the same old story bf buying a half interest in Brooklyn bridge or Man- 1 hattan Island. Clever crooks do not stick to the I same old gag. They find something new. If they cannot sell gold bricks they will sell silk stockings * for cash and never send the stockings to the pur- l - *-'chaser. 1 The average tramp is looked upon as a dangerous citizen ' and a menace to any communi ty, but among them may be found Homo who Riavo left in thoir makeup a soul anil a heart which longs for the times of forgotten days. -tMnny of these tramps poss essed wi lt n wandering lust, come from good families and many of them have seen better days, but through misfortunes lhavo fallen from* respectability to the mire of dogredatlon anil shame.

The members of the Federal grand jury, in session here last week, deserve the commenda tion of ail law abiding and re specting citizens in their action of finding bills against tho two men aiding Gerald Chapman In making 'his escai*e. These men are crimin als of the worse type and, it is said that one of them recently completed a term in the .Federal prison in Atlanta. But, be that os It may, the crime they committed in aiding Chapman stamps them as ahrewdi, smart and dangerous men and the full limit of the law should be meted to iSliem in their convic tion. These men are members of a criminal organization which is na tion-wide and their operations have been extended into all fields of crime.
