in Greenville, aaya there if a fine
road between Athens and that city
but he saw little evidence of agri
cultural progreas and does not
know where ^iey are going to get
cotton to operate the new mills
they are building. Farming Is very
backward aud little land broken
up.
SECRETARY CARROLL has re
ceived a letter and circulars from
the Greenville, S. C., Chamber of
Commerce, stating that a delega
tion of 125 business men and prom
nont citizens will leave that city
for a tour of the country and visit
Athens. They will come via the S.
A. L. railway, and reach thla city
for breakfast, and after spending
two hours here will go on to Madi
son, Ga. They want to get ac
quainted with our i*eople and seo
the country on their highways.
They will reach Athens on Thurs
day at 5 A. iM., and leave for
Madison at 7:20. Their short stay
in our city will not give our citiz-
ns an opportunity to entertain
hem as we would like to do.
GENTLEMEN who are In a po
sition to know say there is not the
slightest danger of the Bankhead
Highway leaving Athens out, for
the route passes through this city
and cannot be diverted.

MR. MORTON HOD3SON nays
they are not selling as much fer
tilizers this season as in past years,
but’of a higher grade. He thinks
all farmers will be able to get
poison for their cotton.
FARMERS from different coun
ties say negroes who went north
nre writing back home and they
complain that It takes every cent
they can earn to pay the high cost
of living and they must work hard
six and some seven days in the
week. They say when their pay
envelopo Is handed to them land
lords and their claimants are
reaching out tor the money. There
Is no Saturday’s rest for them,
but they must work unceasingly to
make ends meet

MR. COMER, of Comer aaya

thing this year. They will plant
about fivq acres of cotton to the
plow and all use poison. There la
some rust in wheat, but ft Is on
the blade and if the dry weather
holds he does not think it will
effect the yield. Oats are also extra
flno. '
LAND OWNER8 around Comer
and other section* who had the
new drainage law put upon them
say It Is a nuisance and a fraud:
that the ditches cut fill up and It
requires endless>labor and expense
to keep them open. They are very
much dissatisfied with the drain
age law. We notice the same com
plaint cornea from Wllkea and oth

tion with headquarters In Atlanta,
Ga., desires to acquaint the parents
and young men of Athens with the
splendid opportunities that are of
fered to young men who enlist In
the Navy. Young men of Georgia
have not up to now realised how
great these opportunities are and
havo not seised them to anything
like the same extent as have the
youth of Northern and Western
states. The navy is now enlisting
young men of 18 and over.
The navy department for many
years hag operated its own traed
schools where enlisted men who
show promise and ability are sent
for courses of instruction tor pe
riods varying from six weeks to
eight months. These schools en
compass every technical acUvlty
of our nary and consist of the fol
lowing: Shlpfitter, carpenter, ma
chinist. blacksmith, painter, pat
ternmaker. moulder, electrician,
diver, pharmiclst, photographer,
radio, aviator, steward, cook and
baker!
In addition to these opportuni
ties the navy department has map
ped out now and very extensive
courses of technical education tnat
will be available at all times for
all men on board ship. This is the
outcome of iho determination on
the part of Secretary Denby tha»
the mon of our navy must be given
every opportunity to acquire dally
educational courses to better fit
them for tbelr advancement la
knowledgo and efficiency during
their enlistment and that they may
bo a powerful reserve for the navy
