BROAD STREET SHOULD BE PAVED One of the most important improvements which Should be undertaken by the, mayor and council is the broadening and paving of Broad street from Lumpkih street to Miiledge avenue, this thorough fare would open a gate through which much of the travel traversing Miiledge avenue and Hill street, could be diverted. It would shorten the distance to the business district at least one mile, besides im proving property and increasing tax valuations for several blocks. But, the greatest feature of the im provement would be relieving the present streets used from the enormous amount of traffic which is forced over them daily. It is true that the general fund of the city is not sufficient to defray .the ex pense of permanent improvements, but there is a way in Which the improvement can be secured and that way is through a bond issue. If the proposed blroadenlng and paving of Broad street meets with the approval of the tax payers of the city, then no ohe can'object. This can be arrived at by the may- oh and council authorizing a bond election for a sufficient amount to build this street. If it is rejected then and there the matter will be settled for the time being, but if a majority of the voters cast their ballots fn favor of the bond issue the improvement can be parried out. No one could oppose leaving the matter to the tax payers 4hfi are .registered voters of. the city and, it by .their votes they authorize the issuances of bonds, the matter becomes ley.' and no hardship will be worked upon anyone. II's believed it would not in crease taxation nor wouta it burden the limitation of the margin of taxable property on which we can issue bonds. All permanent improvements for a municipality should/come through bond issues and we do not believe that there is a more deserving im provement or one which would result in more good to the entire public than would the paving of this im- *Ubtfant Tthoroughf are. ■ “GET ACQUAINTED” MOVEMENT —-“•The movement inaugurated by the Chamber of i Commence of Greenville, S. C., to “get acquainted” with the people in Georgia and Tennessee is worthy IjSf emulation. It is bound to result in much good nnr the City of Greenville and such a program ‘through! our Chamber of Commerce would mean much fqr Athens and its future growth. 1 These representative men from the South Caro- _ Una city spent several hours in Athens getting ac quainted with our pqople, our educational mstitu- EBqm and our commercial and manufacturing indhsr teier.. It was worth their time to stop over here and it will be worth our time to follow their lead. Ath- HHi'is bn the point of>a great revival in growth and development and it is opportune time for our people to awaHen to the importance of the opportunity knocking at our door. We are blessed with the . greatest educational institutions in the nation; an ag ricultural section which enn not be equaled; manu facturing opportunities of. large proportions and of various .kinds; a cotton center, second largest inland market |in the south and the sixth in the United states, besides a substantial wholesale and retail Commcitial interests the ..equal of any city of the population pf Athor”. * I Our greatest need is concert of action and co-op- ornt'On "on the part of all citizens. Local companies mould be organized, just as they have been done in GreeiivBle, S. C., for building of cotton mills and other manufacturing enterprises. We must show the outside? that we have faith in our city and that we arc willing to back our fuith by investing our money In homb enterprises. When that spirit becomes abroad In the land ail the out of town money needed will be coffered for investments in our enterprises. !.< t us not only- “get acquainted,” but let us get together and commence now.the building of manu facturing enterprises and talk less about securing ptlnme i&latcd mill which rumor has is about to H£6ve from some point or another in some section of thocoujitry. j : . jv, Flour, under certain conditons, is a high explosive. 30. ia dust.

ELCould you make a living farming? Department ^.Agriculture checks up 6000 representative farms Aid gives this description pf the average farm: It used $16,400 of capital and the labor of the farmer and hid family during 1922. For which the family received a return of only 6175 cash after paying all ,bUIs. Few city farmers have that mucli left at thte MB of the year. They would have, if they lived as ffimply As the average farmer. As some one called it, the cost bf high living. A clever nbw trick for airplanes is invented by an Bngiish(man. It’s a revolving platform, which- moves rapidly back aa the airplane starts ahead, treadmill fashion, so the plane is going fast when it manages 'to get off the platform. This does away with the necessity of gliding over a long field before rising. Like the ball moving rapidly but staying on the um brella twirled in the opposite direction by the Jap vaudeville actor. It’s quite possible that houses will have roofs like this later, in the day of flying flivvers.

On top of a building on Clay ton *tr**t thoro has boon erect- od a largo oign board and clock which automatically presents the advertisements of merchant? und with two large shadows repre senting the hands of a clock, the ;lme of tho night is displayed ac curately. This new advertising do- vIco has attracted considerable at tention arid furnishes considerable illumination In that section. It lr owned and operated by Mr. R. 11 Dorsey. Jr., who expects to erect several others in tho city.

Young 'man, you don't know your busi ness. Call the manager.” The manager was summoned. Kv- en he qualified before her; but all tho same, ho backed up his. assist ant’s statement. “Then It was really a remarkable plant” she commented sarcastlcnllj “My good man It is both rldlculour ami unnatural.” ‘•That’s just It” said the managpi quietly. “It’s an artificial plant." Tho announcement that Judge Nash R. Broyles Will deliver the Phi Beta Kappa address at the Univorsity commencement will be received with much interest not only by the s n!umni of that in Htitutlon. but by a large number of the people of Athens who art friends und admirers of Judgt Broyles. He is one of the nblesl members of the bar In the state and since his election to the court of ap peals he has been advanced to Chief Justice, the presiding Judge of that court. His address will be oho of the features of the, commence ment program and. no doubt, tht largest crowd of tho week will foi present at the exercises on that day Athens was in tho limelight in Augusta last wttk through Hon. W. F. Dorsey, vice presi dent of the Georgia Rotail Fur niture Dealers Association, who delivered an address before that ganlxation at its annual meeting, Mr. Dorsey is a wonderful speaker pleasing in manner and captivating in his remarks.

It was approached with dread sud fear, and Indians used It as a nlaco for torhiro and execution of their-captives. They would carry ♦hem to tho brink and pitch them Into tho lake of hot, boiling mud where they disappeared. This spot was first visited by a party of wMte men in 1?%^ Josiah Stronr was tho leader, nnd this Is his -de. acription of the* scene. Mr. Strong's attention was first attracted on approaching tho snot by an ascending cloud o? smoke, and they entered n valley In which all tho animals of the country seemed to be congregated. As the nartv approached the scene, they '•ould sec the column of smoke forming on what appeared to be the surface of a lake of bluish water. A closer fnsnectIon revealed the astnlshfng fact that the lake was not water, but a body of foui or five acres, of smoking, babbling, bluish mud. of about the aonsft- ency of molasses, and whose sur face ranged from three to four feet 1>elow the .surrounding solid land. The mud near the bank was slightly In motion, but Its action gradually Increasing toward the ^ , center until about half an acre badland photographed this altar. Us At the western end of tho mud lake, and about fifty feet from its marulnl there was a triangular stone house, whose sides were equal, twelve feet long and eight feet wide. The stones of which it was built were roughly dressed, but well enough for them to fit closely and remain In place stead!, ly. They were of various dimen sions. the laiTest being heavy enough perhaps to require two men to carry them. In the . west wall, facing the lake, there was an open ing nearly five feet high and thlr- tv-two inches wide, the sides of which were better dressed than any other part of the structure. Tho stones Immediately above this opening or door jutted out from th? wall a little more than two feet, m if Intended for an awning, but a close inspection showed that it had boon used for some sort of ceremonial purpose. Tho upper ride anil part of the wall facing It Plaint,- '*vi|cate<? the long.contin- ucd action of fire, showing sacri ficial rites attributed to tho pre historic races of the country. The floor of the equilateral triangle was of tho some material as the walls and in the west corner wan a solid hewn stone attar, having three steps on each of which were the same signs of fire as shown In the stone over th^door. In 18.17 Gov. George R. Gilmer put chased this altar and placed It In front of his residence In Islington. This altar Is still standing, the house being now owned by Dr. Rbynalds. No one knew when* this relic, camo from, but this narrative enlightens us. Several of the pro fessors in our colleges have visited history will be very interesting, to them. KEPT AWAY FROM SPOT The Indians and fettiers , kept away from this spot, and It became a gloomy swamp, a very violent eruption one night having appar ently exhausted the Internal fires. John Gossett lived near the mud- holo. One morning he and his wife, were In their field when they noticed' what appeared to be fog. hanging over the spot. They next saw a volume of smoko ascending from the spot, and heard a rumb ling noise, like distant thunder. All at once the whole surface of the mud-hole seemed to rise up In the air and the elemonts filled with hot mud. Then came the hot stuff bai^t to the earth, some spattering lothes of Gossett nnd his After that eruption tho mud volcano settled down several feet and seemed to gradually cool off. For years It was tho worst cow- mlre in tho country. Finally Mr. John L. Harris cleared and brought the place in cultivation. Bones of animals were plowed up.
