J. Warren Smith Talks of

Is Big Asset to Athens.
By T. LARRY GANTT
There is not a citizen of Athens
more enthusiastically 'enlisted In
all that tends fo the upbuilding
and advance of his city than Mr.
J. Wfcrren Smith, vice-president of
the Georgia National Bank. A few
days ago I had a most important
interview with Mr. Smith about
Athens and Its future. He says it
will never do for our farmers to
relinquish cotton, for the staple
will always bo our greatest money
crop and we can find nothing to
take Its place. Side crops aro all
right to splice in'with, but cotton
is our standard crop and the only
crop in which tho South has a
monoply. If every ono went Into
peanuts, potatoes or any like pro
duct, there would be an over-pro
duction and prices wohld not pa>
cost to the farmer. But the world
noods and must have our short
staflje cotton and overy\ pound
produced always finds ready sale.
While the appearance of tho boll
weevil has reduced production, this
lack Is more than compensated for
the advance in prlco. And It has
been demonstrated that we can
still grow cotton by tho intelligent
nse of calcium arsenate. Last year,
many fanners had no faith In
K lson but aro now convinced of
value and will all use it. Of
course, every progressive fanner
captives c^n be taken alive from
the bandits, who, in their demand
for.ransom, stipulated they must
be assured freedom from attack.
Many Chinese were among the
prisoners taken into the hills, and
it was cn? of these, *n ai.ed, yel
low man, who hobbled to the near
est government station late Mon
day with the arrogant demands of
the brigand leaders.
ASK MILLION
AS RANSOM
One million dollars in ransom,
freedom from attack by the
troops the bandits knew soon
would be on their trail, and full
pardon after the money had been
paid over was what was asked.
The lives of tne prisoners were ob
viously a forfeit.
The message bearer, who hnd
been taken from the wrecked train
among the other captives, reported
that the brigand band was being
rapidly augmented on its retreat.
