Running back over the files of the Banner-Herald twelve yesrs ago, we find many inter esting public movements 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, laws.

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 developing into considerable mag. nitudn. and many are going Into It on an extensive scale. A farmer In Wilkes county pear the Lincoln line, has somo 7,000 Whlto Leg horns. Fryers at 75 cento mean* good money. 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.
