RETAIN THE FOUR YEAR TERM
It is announced that at the approaching session of
the legislature there will be introduced a measure
repealing the present act which provides for a four-
year term for all county officers. Such legislation
would be a great misfortune and no good could
arise from such a change. The old system has been
tried and found wanting and since the new law whs
S assed giving to county officers four year terms,
ie public has been satisfied with it.' The fewer elec
tions in the State and counties, the better. A man who
hu. made a good officer should be retained, just as
a man who has made a good ciork or office man. No
firm or corporation would bo willing to displace a
faithful and capable employeo siqapiy because he
had held the positioff for a two or four year term.
If an officer docs not do his duty he can bp dis-
placed by a vote of the people at the end of his term
and if he commits a violation of the law and unfits
himself for the office to which the people elected him,
it is only a matter of procedure to have him im
peached and put out of office. But for the good 'of
the State and counties, let us keep the present sys
tem of four-year terms and those who are dissatis
fied with it can have the opportunity of changing
the officers who are objectionable to them-at the
ballot box.

Cooperation and thc-puil-totrether spirit will build
any community. Athens is blessed with both as has
been demonstrated on many occasions. The laying
aside of factional feelings and differences has ad
vanced this city many years and it is to be hoped that
Athens will never again be in the throes of factional
politics. Let us all work to one end, and let that end
be for the betterment of Athens and its people.
The authorities of the State College of _ Agricul
ture are to be congratulated on the splendid exhibi
tion given at that institution on Saturday evening of

it was a “Big” show and one which pleased everyone
present and reflected much credit on those who were
responsible for its sponsoring.

Harding many meals during his vacation in the

and his sensible relaxation in a good outdoor exercise

they live on. But the time has
come when these large planta
