Running back over the files
of the Banner-Herald twelve

launched by the i hamber of Com-
THEY WAITED TOO LATE TWENTY YEARS AGO
Last fall we heard lots about the fine fair this
county held back in 1903. That was said to be the
last realiv big and creditable fair this city has had.
That was back in the days before the automobile hnd
revolutionized travel, before the boll weevil had
.. caused a revolution of his own, was before jazz music
and the many civic clubs that meet weekly to dis-
cuss matters.of civic interest and civic pride.
But Athens had a fair in 1903. It was called the
Northeast Georgia Fair and back in those days J. D.
Price, now public service commissioner, was growing
prize oats, wheat and the like on his Oconee county
farm, H. H. Price was a big farmer of High Shoals
_ and W. P. Price of the same place was growing 110
bushels of wheat per acre, all prize winners among
the exhibitiohs. „ J .
There were horse races and “free acts, including
- the “wire act,” the “slide for life,” the “trick house,
i the “ring act,” the “burlesque act” and when the
wind wasn!t too high the ballbon went up. ''
The public was easier entertained back in those
• days than now but it had the same habit of procrasti-
natiug as now an-editorial taken from the files of
the Banner of the date of October 7th, 1903, shows:
“Everybody in Athens is delighted over the
success of the Northeast Georgia Fair, and they i
have reason to feel proud of the Fair from every
standpoint. . '
“There was more or less apprehension on the
part of many connected with the Fair manage-
ment that there would not be a creditable ex
hibit of' agricultural products and cattle. This
apprehension vanished long before the gates of
the Fair opened, and the visitor is at once struck
with the thoroughness of the exhibits in every
..A line.
. “The exhibit of Clarke county in an agricultu-
-■ ral way would be a credit to any county of the
state, and the farmers of Clnrke county have
every reason to feel proud of the showing that
hps been made. The exhibit of Berkshire hogs ,
is well worth the time of any man to inspect. In
fact all the exhibits have measured up to the
highest standard of excellence.
"Not only are the exhibits fine, but everything
connected With the fair is being conducted in a
most systematic and satisfying manner. The
management is giving to the visitors racing and
free attractions that are well worth the price of .
admission into the grounds and there , is no
ground for any kick coming from anybody.
"The success of tho Fair demonstrates what
san be done by hard work and plenty of enter
prise. While the Fair movement was started
some months since, it may be truthfully said that
the great bulk of the work of getting everything
in readiness has been done within the last'three
months. That the management has been able to
get together all the exhibits in so short a time,
to make all the contracts, build buildings,, adver
tise tho Fair properly npd have everything run
ning So smoothly is a mutter of congratulations.
Thut/thc Fair will bo given each year there can
be ho doubt, for the people will call for it and
what the people want they generally get”
Now is tho time to act if Athens and .Northeast
Georgia are to have n successful fair this fall. The
one back’ in 1903, said to be the best over, held here,
■ might have lived down from year to year if it had
been planned in advance and built on a permanent
foundation. 'Athens has ten fold better opportunity
to sponsor a real fair than she had in 1903 and
' twenty years’- lapse seems enough time to celebrate
the bucccss of our best one with a real, genuine,
honest to goodness fair that will be a credit to Athens
and the great Piedmont section of which we arc the -
metropolis. •
HULL CONTINUES TO HAMMER
Chairman Cordell Hull, of the Democratic Nn-'
tional Committee, has renewed his request of Presi
dent Harding for a 30 per cent reduction of the sugar
tariff rates under the flexible provisions of the new
tariff law. He is apparently not discouragod by the
fact that his unanswerable arguments are falling on
deaf ears.
"The recent action of Canada in reducing the
tariff on raw sugar 60 cents on 100 pounds, and on
refined sugar 50 cents on 100 pounds,” said Mr. Hull
• in a statement, “immediately resulted in a reduction
in like amount of the price.yf refined sugar to Cuna-
. dian consumers, as reported in the press. Here is
positive proof that a reduction of sugar tariff results
immediately and directly in sugar prices to consum
ers.
“Instead of making the simple experiment of re
ducing the duty on sugar, the Harding adminiejtrn-
tion is still indulging in the qiost desperate expedients
to divert attention away from the sugar tariff out
rage, which is costing the American people around
$400,000,000 a year in excessive and extortionate
prices." v
People who call themselves “brain workers” have
been holding an international conference in Paris at
the Sorbonne. They have a sort of highbrow white-
collar trade union, except that ntore members wear
sport shirts and Windsor ties than starched neck-
piefies. These “brain workers” have a membership
of 160,000. They sepra.most ip^te^ c W 3$$ht,

so they’re "emotion workers,” not “brain workers.”

of emotions, arc rarely heard of, and copyright law

DR. HAROLD HODGSON, meat
inspector, says since Jan. 8 he has
Inspected 3040 carcasses at the
fdmttolr. and condemned 91, most
ly for being too thin, and others
being diseased animals. Dr. Hodg
son says the cattle slaughtered' nro
mostly milch cows and few good
beeves are brought to market. They
are grass-fed. Our farmers should
begin to raise beeves for market
MR. WILL SCOTT went through
tho country to Winder this week.
He says a very good grain crop lit
promiddd but ho never saw a worse
prospect for cotton; that tho plants
arc dying out badly and very pony.!
Corn planting, is backward but
there is time In June to plant corn
am; other food . crops. Ono can
nmer tell about cotton. Some
times tho ’most promising crops
turn out failurea while tho sorriest j
cotton crop makes tiio best yield.,
It depends on seasons when tho |
crop begins to mature.'
MRS. TROUTMAN say* that the
curb market grew in Interest every
week. At tho market last Tuesday
there were 106 different unroll-
meats, •>!! now persons who had not
before brought stuff to the mar
ket. Mrs. Troutman says there Is
jnuch better produce sold In Ath
ens than at Home and other points
she has Inspected, and this is due
to the goud work by our State Ag.
riculturnl Cbllego. She says that
institution Is of very great ser
vice to our farmers.
MESSRS. W. I. and G. W. Ab
ney have closed tho doors of their
establishment on Broad street and
gone out of business. Mr. Abney’s
other duties required all of his
time. Wo regre^to see them retire
from business.
AN flLD GENTLKMAN, aged 87
years, says It is better to liavo too i
much rain than a drought; that;
In 1849 wo did not havo a drop
rain from the timo crops were j
.planted until they were gathered.
Ho said the rivers became more
branches and the only mill In op
eration* was at High Shoals, and
people would come over fifty ,iriilen
to have their wheat ground, and
camp for days waiting their turn.
He says farmers madd a fine wheat
crop that year and this saved them.
FARMERS IN TOWN give dlf-
fereat reports about crop condi
tions. Somo say wheat is ; not. much
hufrt by rust, while others say
that It Is ruined. Some report fine
stands of cotton and others that it
is killed out. But all unite In re.
porting the finest -oat crop, ever
known. If it stay* clear for a sea.
I I son wo have time to plant food
crops and all will yet be well.
THE CHICKEN BUSINESS, is

nitudn. and many are going Into
It on an extensive scale. A farmer
In Wilkes county pear the Lincoln

most gratifying it is nearly all
cash. In days gone by our march-
ants got little cash country trade
at this season, hut now that our
farmers are beginning to raise
other crops than cottae, they hive
money every month. Advertisers
would do well to paste this fact
on their memories.
MR. P. L. DAVIS, of Comer, sent
a load’ of'country hams to our curb
market Tuesday. A farmer from
Clarke county sold over $40 worth
of strawberries. We are glad to
see so many ladles* with their cars
bringing produce to tho curb mar
ket. Mr. Hugh Gordon Rays all of
our v citizens should turn out and
patronize tho curb market. Nearly
every car has n box or basket of
young chickens.
WE NEVER SAW finer or larger
headed cabbage at this season than
are brought trt our curb market
by Mr. .1, It. Dfllinger of Oconee.
There Is more money In nn acre
of cabbage than most anything yon
can grow. One farmer near Athens
this week gathered 1,500 quarts of
strawberries.
SEVERAL of our citizens havo
