GOING AFTER CONVENTIONS
What are wc doing lo sfcurc conventions .
Philadelphia hud organifeir and is placmK "jen on _
the road for the purpose nff'sfilmg that city for con
ventions. It is a wise movlment and one which will
bring more advertising, hi mweekers and investors to
that city than through an; other oBency. ,.
The New Orleans Time -Picayune has the lollow
ing to say on the subject ■ f conventions:
"What is the averag convention W0 F th “
city? All cities want i inventions, and much
money is spent yearly it this country in competi
tions to capture such gt iherings. It is Benerally
agreed that many conve itions are w cU worth go
ing after and good inv istments for the host.
They advertise the city cause it to be inspected
by captains of industry and finance and not m-
- frequently result in the establishment J
terprises. Philadelphia evidently places a high
valuation on the convention. ll |f (! , r , 1 ^! 18l . tl | 8S , ! ea J‘
ers arc making plans to "sell [ h . llad . t “ ph .’“
a "meeting place” mith as a wholesale hou
would dispose of its Tares. The plan is to fi
nance a three-year campaign which would keep
an official "traveling! salesman constantly on
the road, calling attention to Philadelphia' as a
convention city and firing broadsides wherever
possible to land desirable meetings. On yobs too
a big for one man to handle the field agent of
course would be given help. This novel wrinkle
in city boosting suggests the intensity of urban
rivalry in our country. “Competition is found
everywhere one turns, from individuals to na
tions; and cities are no exception. Philadel
phia’s proposed offensive will be the signal, no
doubt, for other cities also to intensify 1 their con
vention-seeking methods.”
If it is good for Philadelphia it is good for Athens.
At one time, a few years « 0 ’ A th e"» ea ^f£
reputation and name as the ConventionCity, of
the state. This reputation and name can be re
stored. It is in the power of our Chamber of Com
merce to put Athens on the map as the convention
city. Recently the Hardware dealers, of two states
met in Atlanta; the Knights of Pythias in Augusta,
the Odd Fellows in Macon; the Undertakers in At
lanta; the Furniture Dealers in Augusta and many
other organizations have all met in this state during
tho last few weeks and, yet no effort was made on
* the part of our commercial body to secure for Ath
ens the meeting place next year. Practically every
one of these organizations could have been secured,
if invitations had been sent and the proper effort
made. A commercial and civic revival is needed in
Athens and needed NOW. *

Considerable interest has been taken in regard to
the appointment of a United States Senator to suc
ceed the late Samuel D. Nicholson of Colorado who
.died in April. Alva B. Adams was appointed Thurs
day by Governor William E. Sweet. The new senator
is an attorney and is ranked as a conservative. Sen-

Trade Commission, while Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Bry*
requested the appointment of Morrison Shafroth, son
of former Senator Shafroth. Senator Adams will
servo until the election to be held in i924,_when a

report of where the fish was caught The idea is
obvious—to learn about wanderings of fish and how
fast they grow. Migratory birds are similarly
tagged. You might find it interesting to vake ruler
and map and learn how many miles you are living
from the place you were born. Why do wc study
such things in fish and birds, not in people? The
average American used to live generation after

Following the lead of the
New York legislature, the
Chatham county grand jury
has recommended a repeal of
the state prohibition law and a re
quest for the submission of a con
stitutional amendment which would
afford the opportunity of an ex
pression of the people’s wishes.
The recommendation goes farther
and ends with the following sen-
V tencc: “If such testimony is fully
°P sustained, is it not true regarding
the masses, that we are growing
a democracy of hypocrites, voting
dry and -acting wet?”
The last sentence in the recom
mendation carries with it much for
serious thought and consideration.
There is no doubt but that an ef
fort will be made at the approach
ing session of the legislature to
repeal the present law.
Whether
the movers in the matter will have
sufficient strength to authorize a
submission of the question to the
voters of the state is problematic,
but in all events the issue will be
before the members for their adop
tion or rejection.

Some one has sent me a

related on the Irish. Here it U for
what it’s worth:
The proprietor of a small med
ium priced hotel recently installed
as night clerk his brother, a big.,
burly, raw Irishman, fresn from
Ireland. He instructed him care
fully aa to his duties, being; very
particular in telling him that he
should not neglect to call the
roomers in the different rooms at
the time specified upon the regis-
ter. j . .
Dennis, the new clerk, was also
bell-boy, and from five in the
morning he was as busy as a bee
rousing the roomers, No. 47 at
5:10, No. 42 at 5:20. and so on.
Around six o'clock was his busy
season. He was going up -and down
the halls, rapping and bellowing
in a voice hot very mild, when the
door of room thirty opened and a
man stepped out. Dennis looked at
his list, and there, sure enough,
was; room No* 30 * to be called at
eight o’clock.
“Aren't you the man who left
ih'j call for eight o’clock?’’ Dennis
asked.
“Yes,” answered the man, *but.I
had a good sleep, and as it's a nice
morning 1 thought 1 would go out
for a walk.’’ %
“Oh, no; not at all me fine man,"
said Dennis, grabbing him not
very gently by the arm and march
ing him back to room No. 30 and
pushing him in. “You stay there

Alderman Buchanan, of At*
lanta, believes in the enforce
ment of traffic regulations.
At least*'he is not in favor of
allowing the parking of cars in
front of the soft^drlnk stands in
that city. An ordinance daddied
by him and adopted by the mayor
and council prohibits drivers of
cars from blowing their horns in
front of drug stores or other
places where soft drinks are sold
and ordering ginger ale. Evident
ly the alderman has experienced
unfavorable results from over in
dulgence in ginger ale. We pre
sume from the reading of the or
dinance that a driver would be at
liberty to blou; his horn continu
ously, if it was done in order to
attract attention of the dealers
and an order placed for ice cream,
“dopes” or somo other Hoft drink,
possibly near-beer would come
under the restricting ordinance.

Until very recently little though!

to tho possibilities lying in theii
waste lands. The growing of pint
timber os a crop lias not appealed
to farmers generally. For years
and years, there has been an
abundant supply of timber for lo
cal needs and an immiuiso surplus
to be sold for shipment to citiot
in other states. It was generally
believed that tho original pines
were tho only pines of any value
for lumbering. Tho original growth
has been depleted nnd no attention
has been given to tho field pinei
for lumber until during the last
few years. During the lust i:
months much of this second growth
has been selling for $3 Uf $5 per
thousand on the -stump. This hai
