Bowdrc Phiniiy, Secretary and Treasurer. H. J. Rowe, Vice President Address all Business Communications direct to the Athens Publish ing Company, not to individuals. News article, intended fox publica. tion lb sulci be addressed to The Banner-Iicraid. 1823—1858—1923 One hundred years ago General T. R. R. Cobb, il lustrious American, Georgian and Athenian was born, and Monday Lucy Cobb Institute will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the event of his birth. He was an Athenian who will be remembered as long as the memory of the South survives, an Athenian whose name will be legion for future citizens of the city for generations to ; jme, , If General Cobb were alive today he would be a model member of the Kiwanis club with its motto of , “We Build.” He wou'd be an ideal member of the 'Rotary club with its '"‘.Service Above Self” motto. General Cobb accomplished muny things for his _ country, his state and bis city but it is said there was nothing he took so much pride and interest in as he did in Lucy Cobb Institute, Athens’ own Lucy Cobb. Inspired by an article that appeared in the Banner- Watchman, written by Mrs. --Williams Rutherford, mother of Miss Mildred Rutherford who for so many years was the life and soul of the Institute, General Cobb was the moving spirit in the founding of the the school and in 1858 his hopes were realized an'd as the fruits of his efforts Lucy Cobb, named for a de ceased, opened, filling a need longfelt here fqr a school for young ladies. ‘ * Since that time Lucy Cobb Institute has enjoyed years of prosperity and has also been tossed on the seas of misfortune but it has always emerged, though the-efforts of its friends and alumnae, the still be loved institution it is. General Cobb was but 35 years old when ho inaugurated the movement that gave Athens this school. It opened, in 1858, during a period of tumult in this country and one that was followed by a conflict in which he served with valor and distinction, and has been the source of culture for hundreds of the fairest of Georgia’s womanhood. It would be a shame for Lucy Cobb’s usefulness to be impaired and the observance of the one hundredth' anniversary of its founder’s birth should serve as a stimulant to its friends to make the school a hltriror instil womal HtiGS AND CHICKENS These two products can bo raised sufficient in this section to make our citizens independent In South .Georgia and in South Carolina, practically every week, carloads of chickens are shipped to eastern markets. Last week a carload of chicKens was shipped from Greenwood, S. C., through Athens to points in the West. These chickens were not raised by orc man or a half dozen men, but the carload was made up from a co-bperative source and by being able to ship-in large lots, a better price was received for the chickens and the producer experienced little trouble in disposing of hie holdings. If Greenwood can; corral a carload of chickens there is no reason why some enterprising citizen of this community can not;dp as much: There is money in it and the person who undertakes the new industry is bound to succeed and Realize handsomely off of the project. Hng raising in this section is. another industry which our people could enter successfully. It is seldohi that hogs in this section ever contract serious diseases and the climate is such that raising hogc.is rather easy. Where you find ‘a farmer producing \ foojl-stuffs, hogs, chickens and’cattle, you find one: who is prosperous and possessing a substantial bank * account. ■ i * • Regardless cf the boll weevil, the farmer who de votes the same amount of time, labor and money to the raising of hogs, chickens and cream as he has de voted to raising cotton, will realize more ready money and greater profits than he ever did when cotton was bringing top notch prices. - ••• vvivu cap a — make the school a bigger .ltuuon and one of greater service to the young maphood of the state. trlct and a large number of Boy Scouts will bq present for many athletic events. The Hoy Scout organization in this city has met with a remarka ble growth and interest both with the parents and boys and the good work carried on by it will me^n much for the future citizenship “ the state. Exalted Ruler P. S. Johnson, of the Athens Lodge B. P. O. E. is to be congratulated on the remarkable growth of that order in this city during his regime as head of the local lodge. Great preparations are being made for the National convention which -is to be held in Atlanta next month and it may be depended that the Athens lodge will be in prominence in all the activities of the big gathering of Elks from all sections of the nation. v » From reports the Chamber of Commerce held a rousing meeting Thursday evening and much enthusiasm prevailed.

It 111 be a meeting of the editors and newspaper folks of the eighth In the past. It is thb avenue through which all public enter- prises and civic un<er(akinga, should arise and be carried to a successful culmination.' Now that too.

Mr. Obe Smith, ono of the lead Ing and most progressive farmers in Madison county and who won the prize for producing most cot an acre in tho city Thura day said he .found very few boll weevils in his cotton, but has poor stand. Mr. Smith says never plants cotton on the same land two years in succession, and by doing this the weevil does not begin its work so early. He has good wheat crop* and the finest ever raised. He also says that we can make good corn by planting the latter part of June. If alns hold up farmers have time to n-tke a crop. He has planted about ten acres of cotton to the plow..

Even with unfavorably seasons merchants report a most gratifying cash trade; and the sales of flny goods and automobiles do not look much like ruln&tion staring the land ln the face. On Wednesday Mr. Fleming who has a farm on the Tallassee nad with six hands in two hours went 1 five acres of his cotton and caught over qeven hundred boll weevils, which he placed in a bot tle and brought to town. r. John Welsh will this week give this badly infested field a dose of Him Mixture and«*eport results. - , Mr. M. E. Anderson of Bostwick, says bis cotton is badly Infested with weevils nnd one day last week at 5 o’clock he applied \tr the stalks the Hill's Mixture. At 12 o’clock that day he Inspected the field and found n number of dead weevils . Mr. Anderson says farm rely on. the Hill’s Mixture doing the work of rlddlngthelr cot ton of weevils. A farmer yesterday remarked that he had not seen a single cat- terplllar ^eh this season am’ found no ono who has seen no©. This Is something unheard of nnd ho dock not know how.4o account for it unless It be tho continuous rains. - Mr..Claude Tuck nays ho has’tho finest oats he ever saw and the rain haa not hurt them. He did not plant much wheat. He »hns not finished planting corn but has his cotton all plantdfl. He Is ready to begin a fight on th® bqll weevil so soon ns the pest appears. Mr. Tuck Is one of. the largest nnd most progressive farmers ln Clarke county. Mi.
