RAPIDLY CHANGING BUSINESS CONDITIONS
[ Tailing with a prominent Athens doctor the other
| day, the medical man was declaring that the country
I people^seemed to have a lot of money these days.
They were paying old bills and having new doctoring
| done ahd seemed to have plenty of money. f VY hen
times are hard doctors suffer as much from the de-
pression as other business men.
What the Athens doctor has noticed in his pro
fession is true of business generally in this section
of the South today. There is plenty of money in the
: country, and it is coming to town to buy the things
the country man and his wife take.: u fancy to. But a
large dart df this money is coming from the activities
of the«aw and planing mills, and the lumber camps.
When ttumpage ic sold, the land owner gets his share
* of this.lumber money. When the small saw mill gets
to work, wager are paid to cut the timber, to haul it
to the mill, to the crew that operates the saw mill, to
more men to haul it when sold to the nearby planing
mill, a»d more wages to stack or load it, un
til it is-finally sold at high prices to the East or West
that ^apparently taking every plank that the South
Can turnout. .
In some counties-ulong the Georgia Railroad, more
than li)0 raw mills are at work with two or more
planing mills at various stations. Immense sums of
raoneyvare changing hands each week as a result of
this unprecedented activity in lumbering in this sec
tion. Railroads are having difficulty in supplying the
ears nleded to move this lumber, and a large part of
the labor in these counties has left the farms and gone
to thelsaw mills. Unfortunately a year or two will
see the present supply of timber largely exhausted
but in the meantime, seme of the spetions around Ath-
ents ate undobutedly prosperous as a result ot the
great activity in the lumber business.
TheSchances- arerthat this summon will rep busindas !
a "high peak in this section of the South. Instead
of having ot wait pntii the fall to market a cottbn '
<*roji in order to pay bills and make needed purchases,
the lumber pay roljs will provide each week and each
monthjn very large supply of ready p^sh mCney thntjiBj
will find its way into the ■every-day tffcde of the va
rious towns and villages and cities in; thls i|ed!Sbn..,**i
Sonic timo ago ^Thc Bannor-Herald"predicted thatfjl
the South would have as much money to spend in July
i.«? it previously had ty spend in October. But we were *
counting on this money coming in from diversified
farming, from cream checks, from hogs and chickens,,
and ninny truck crpps at various seasons, Maybe this
will c8mo later. As it is, the large pay rolls of the"
various activities of tho lumber burincsf, are turning
flgihMB Jarge sums of money each week in all sections
( ,<>f tlio South and particularly around Athens.
1 -ORGANIZE A CONVENTION BUREAU
Ma(iy cities throughout the country hive convcn-
1 ion bureaus. These bureaus are not only organized
for the purpose of securing conventions, but for the
j purpose of underwriting the expense of holding the
[ conventions. There is very little expense attached to
the average convention for the locality in which it is
held if* the representatives are men who are prepared .
to pay their own way ar.d besides spend many ilol-
iais with the hotels, boarding houses, Cafes, barber '
shops'and stores of all lines of business. It is highly
Important for the growth of Athens that it secure
more Jonventions anil this can bo done only through
concerted action and by some official organization

Sfijd the same should be done here, but without apy

‘organizations will not force their meetings on any
city, {invitations should be sent to those meetings

in person by some official representative of an organ-

FALL RiVER MILLS CLOSING *" V * "
' ’' ThS Fall River textile industry is reported to lie in

"Better See tf the
Motor Needs Oil"
Get in the habit of saying this to your
dealer whenever you stop for gasoline,
water or air. Remember, that the only
way you can tell whether or not your mo
tor needs oil is; first, by the sunple way
of looking at the guage, and second, by
the expensive way of finding out too late
that cylinders have been scored and bear
ings burned thru your forgetting to keep
up the supply of oil
Sufficient quantity, the !right quality,
the proper weight or grade of oil, and the
replacing of oil after it has been worn out
by six or seven hundred miles of run
ning—these are the important things to
watch;,and, given proper attention, you
can avoid the bother and expense of most
motor troubles.
Be safe—be sure—and be satisfied by
