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.

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.
