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. * ’ t A DEMOCRAT appointed 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- ator Adams was born at Del Norte, Colorado, in 1876, _ and is a son of Alva Adams, three times governor of C °Governoi' Sweet turned down the recommenda tions of Ex-Frcsidcnt Woodrow Wilson. William G. McAdoo and William J. Bryan, in making ^ap pointment. The former president urged the appoint- ment of Huston Thompson, a member.of the Federal 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 senator will be elected to complete Senator Nichol son’s term, which empires in 1926. • _ The appointment was made by Governor Sweet in spite of the strenuous opposition of a group °f p [ • gressive Democrats, who fought to the last &nat^r Adams was graduated from Yale in 1896 °nd com pleted his law course at Columbia University in 1899. He has since that time practiced law at Pueblo. He was a delegate at-large to the National Democratic. convention in 1916.

Ten thousand fishes, each with a metal tag at tached, are turned loose in the ocean by Uncle Sam’s Bureau of Fisheries? A reward of 26 cents apiece will be paid for the return of these tags accompan ed by u 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 generation on the old homestead. Now mo?t of us are wanderers.

We have felt that we would be bene fitted by taking on golf along with some of our other time consumers, but for many reasons wc have not been able to get our selves in line where wc could fig ure out the time for a little golf ing. However, after reading a few suggestions for golf P 1 *?*™ golf course that nobody ev an exchange, wc have about con-j.- vo ursclf. eluded to follow some of them as- but yoursut we might benefit as much as wo would from tracking over the course* Here it is: 1. Join the neighborhood golf club and have some class. 2. ' Subscribe to five or six golf magazines and read them carefully. This will give you a smattering or the working language. In time you will learn to tell a stymie from a bunker at first glance. 3. Buy an expensive suit of golf clothes and a cap and wear them to your office. 4. ^Vhen you go to the office take a bag full of various golf tools and set it near your desk- 5. Mention golf casually in yot conversation with callers who dro] in during the day. 6. ✓Hang a picture of Sarazcn behind your desk where callers niuat sec it. 7. Tell all your callers to be brief, as you have to hurry away f>n to Killikimitch or Magainoheek Swampscotehett or some otljer heard 8.. Mention your golf score loudly to the people you hippen to meet, including box-office ticket takers, taxicab drivers, etc lney will let you get away with it. 9. The last rule is to stay away from the game itself. Very few people really play it. That isn t at all necessary. You qan get the golf flair much better ways* Many i 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. other great enthusiast There are so many ways to serve Kellogg’s Bran—the one great aid to humanity!

Some one has sent me a clipping containing an anec ' dote on an Irishman. It is not the product of either Captain J. W- Barnett or Dr. Milton Jar- nigen, but it is passable ahd keep ing with other jokes and anecdotes 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 till eight o’clock, me bucko. If. you nave it down iu 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.

W. FIROR Clarke County Farm Agent PINES FOR PROFIT Until very recently little though! has been given by Georgia farin- 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 down demonstration plots in this section.
