GEORGIA’S TOBACCO CROP
'It Is predicted that Georgia’s tobacco crop will total
more than 1,200,000 pounds the season of 1923, ac-,
cording to the estimate made by the officials of the
• Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad. The
drop wilt be sold through markets which will begin to
operate in July. *■
Mr. G. W, Hutchins, who has a tobacco warehouse
at Vidalia, estimates that more than a million
oitnds of tobacco will be marketed .at that point
tie this season'. Drying and stemming plants t Siu
een erected at -threOi point along the Atlanta,
gham and Atlantic Railroad, involving ad e:
liture of $500,000.
The Georgia leaf commands a premium over
scco raised in any other state in the Union. i
acco crop of North Carolina constitutes the back*
bone of the prosperity of the Tar Heel state, which
just now is enjoying a period of wonderful prosperity.
We would like to see Georgia about equally divided
between tobacco anckcotton, as is the case in North
Carolina, where the fanners seem to be proof against
panics and hard times.
Hart county'has gone in for tobacco and has em
ployed an expert to further the growing of this crop
tin iv. Experiments have proven that the crop is
adapted to the section if given the proper care and
..there is no doubt but that good tobacco can be grown
in Georgia, i ■ " •'»■{• fj.' • . -

THURSDAY HALF HOLIDAYS
, Last RTnunot a greater portion of Athens’ mcr-
* chants closed: their places of business on Thursday
- aitcrnoons and gave them telves and their employees
a half holiday. Apparently the plan worked to the
benefit of all and the public soon fell in line with its
co-operation and. did its trading either during the
morning hours or on other days.
This summer with another try-being made here at
summer baseball it seems that the plan will be
more acceptable than ever before.
In speaking of Thursday closihg the Macon Tele
graph has the following to say:
“Summer only comes once a year—but it comes
with force when it does. It comes with the force of
' too much sun and a penetrating heat. People tire
more quickly and easily; they need an occassional
few hours away from the sight and thought of routine
; things. It is a matter of wisdom, and profit to those
in any way associated with them to grant them such,
j No more admirable nor sensible plan in this con
nection has been put into effect than that of the
Thursday half holidays. This gives opportunity for
the employe to renew his mind and energies, and to
polish up his disposition. He finds,chance to get out
where the green grows and the waters run and the
breezes blow, and when he comes back to his bench
or counter, there is somewhat of a newness and
freshness to him about his duties.
“Whether a man or woman can hear the birds sing
or not, he or she ought to go occassionaliy to where
they do sing, and come into contact with that which
, makes them sing. And though he hear no song, he
will somehow feel it, and bring it hack, with him in-
; to the market-place. A smile in the eyes and a gen
tle, relaxed expression On the face of the saleswoman
; is much more pleasing to the customer than a frown
-• and dissatisfied look, even though the dissatisfaction
. be only with the weather and expressed uncon-
£ sciously.
■ “So, the Thursday half holiday is a matter of sound
■' scilse and definite profit'
; “Of course,' the' buying public will be gracious
enough to cb-operate. Somebody should be con-
- vinced that the good housewife as well needs to take
; Thursday afternoons off, but if she is averse to the
• idea, she'will at least display that generosity that
. will enable those who serve her from behind the
t counters to do so. j. ; J
“Thursday morning buying should displace Thurs-
; day afternoon buying during the Summer months. It
can be done without inconvenience in the least if the
kindly consideration and good memory of the house
wife will function together. Procrastination is a
pretty bad pest around home,.but he should be chased
out bodily once a week and the household stocks and
stores for Thursday laid in before the noon hour.”
LISTEN TO MOCKING BIRD
An Atlanta mocking bird is such a strenuous sing
er ^hat he had to be placed on probation. A tender
footed neighbor testified that the Shakespeare of the
woods sang 24 hours a day and that -he and 'another
- bird sang by turns, when he would get tired the
other bird would take it up. He stood it as. long as
- he.coiild and finally it got onto his nerves so bad that
- in sheer despair he reported the matter to the police.
1 We were under the impression that a law was
v passed against caging mocking birds. So many
* mocking birds were taken north by persons who de-
; lighted to hear them sing, that there was fdar that
• there would be none left It it had been 1 a- jay bird
l that aroused the Atlanta man’s tender sensibilities,
- there might have been cause for complaint, but it
- being a mocking bird, always recognized as the
, world’s champ singer, calls into question the man’s
. love of music and the further question of his being
able to discriminate.
That Atlanta man must be a sufferer from insom
nia, or amnesia, and the bird’s song worried him so
that he did not know where he was. He poured
- forth such a volume of ecstatic melody that, it’s a
great wonder he hadn't drowned out grand opera.
Then he would have played the mischief .sure
enough, for grand opera costs $6.00 a seat, whereas
the mocking bird is a free-for-all marathon.

cultural fair here thie fall. The
Banner-Herald has pointed the
way for a successful fair - to be
pulled off, but the days are num
bered now' nnd unless an effort Is
made equal to overcoming the
greatest obstacles the fair project
will go the route thflt has been
the fate of so many other enter-
prises boosted and organized on
hot air and paper. Our people
might as well realize that If we
are to accomplish things for thlf

more than Interviews' nnd ' news

not be expected, Of -the- newspaper

terprises solely fori the good, of the
public, who else may*be etpected
to foster them? Wh^n-crops have

Gentlemen of the Chamber

fair this fall. It can be put over

talking will not build a fair ground

hold a meeting nnd .get down tr
