AN AMUSEMENT PARK
Athlfts has progressed rapidly during the Inst few
'ears and has grown to be a modern and model city,
_i\lt there is one improvement we must have if we
ever expect to reach that stage of perfection as . a
'municipality which goes along with all growing cities
and that is a public park and amusements.
f- Athens has a population of over 20,000 inhabitants
ind, yet not a place for recreation for those who are
tired and worn from their daily occupations where
they may go and not only enjoy the amusement fea
tures, but enjoy the health-giving pure air and water.
We can no longer afford to do without a park; it must
come, and'come now, if we hope or expect to hold our
people in Athens. Every holiday and on Sundays
'any leave the city for the reason that there is no
_.acehere are near by to which they cun go and spend
A few hours or a day in past time from their labors.
The mayor and council should see to it that such
x pjace is secured and proper equipment installed for
lie comfort, convenience and pleasure of tht- citizen
ship. Besides a public park, with amusement fca-
utes, would attract large crowds here from neigh
boring towns and suctions and, by their- presence
dAusc our people to become better acquainted and a
closer feeling created which would result in much in
many ways.
By all means let us have a public park and let us
commence work on it before tbe rummer has passed.
<fow is the'time to commence work and have it pre
pared for the ensuing summer months.
A PERFECT GAME
A young University of Georgia student, an ath
lete, Monday performed what is considered almost
the impossible in the playing of the great American
pastime the pitching of a perfect baseball game,
u, Fred’Sale, a second year man on the team and a
j youth hardly out of his teens performed this phenom
enal fedtand hir ability in turning back the proud vis
itors from the University of Virginia without a single
run, without a single hit and without even so much as
aii invader resting a foot on first base will go down in
ijistory as a record for athletes in the years to coma to
aspire to.
xt. Perfect playing behind him on the part of the other
eight men on the team of course enabled this'youth to
accomplish the feat of sending back to the bench
twenty fceven coniecutive butsmen - xvha faced him
with a determination to dint his defense. . But: cool
ness connected with ability and perfect team work
was sudh a bulwark Of fortification that it could not
Suplerced in this instance.
- All honor to this baseball prodigy, all honor to his
teammates who helped him to perform his feat and
ajl honor to the Georgia team that so deservedly
'd^buld have the unanimous support of Athens and this
section of Georgia. .
t < A BLESSING TO GEORGIA
The people of Macon have contributed much to
Georgia'by withdrawing thq fight which has been
carried bn for a number of years before the legisla
ture for: tho removal of the Capital. Nothing can be
gained by such a movement and great harm to the
Itate could be brought. The moving of the Capital
would engage the State in a heavy expense, and in
crease the burden of taxation on the people, besides
if the fight was kept up it would engendel' strife and
turmoil from which it .would require years to wipe
out.
l';That the Capital removal question will not be
brought-up at the session this year, will be reccived
with a sigh .of relief from a large percentage of the
pe ople of this State.
I < The white way has caused a vast improvement to
the,blocks over which it is spread. It is hoped now
that the merchants and business men on other streets
and other blocks will commence at once the extension
of the white way. It is not only an improvement for
the good of the city, but it is a feeder for every line
Of business traversed by the white way.
-Considering the season, why not include in the
jtMfless chain of special weeks, a Borrow Your Neigh
bor's Ladrnmower Week, a Quit Radio for Baseball
week and an Office Boys’ Grandmother's Dead

Of ,a lot of ridicule and hatred from the wets. They
teem to think that he personally screwed tha lid on

as chairman of a committee, that his name was at

out :;ome-one individual as the goat for.a situation.
In 1921, .when genuine liquor was easier to get than
now', only 1432 Americans were ligitimately engaged
in manufacturing alcohol and medicinal hooch, com

he value of their products in 1921 decreased near-
