REGISTRATION OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES There has been considerable opposition in various communities in the state to registration of bith certi ficates. Why anyone could object is beyond our com- jjrehendon, but no matter what the law may be on any question there is some one to find fault and op pose its enforcement Recordinu birth certificates is one of the most im portant duties and in all communities, towns, cities or country, the law should be enforced and all births made of permanent record. There are many rea sons why these certificates should be made a matter of record. The Dublin Courier-Herald gives twelve reasons in favor of registration. ’1 hat number should be sufficient to satisfy any half-way reason able perron. It says: , , ... First. As evidence t<> prove the age and legiti macy of heirs:. . , Second. As proof of age to determine the validity of a contract entered into by an alleged m Third. As evidence to establish age and proof of citizenship and descent in order to vote. . Fourth. As evidence to establish the right of admission to the professions and to many pub lic offices. Fifth. As evidence of legal age to marry. Sixth. As evidence to prove claims of widows and orphans’ pension law. Seventh- As evidence to determine the liabil- ( ity of parents for the debts of a minor. Eigth. As evidence to prove the irresponsibil- ith of children under the years of age for crime and misdemeanor, and various other matters in . the criminal code. Ninth. As evidence in the enforcement of laws relating to education and to child labor. Tenth. As evidence to determine the relations of guardians and wards. Eleventh. As proof of citizenship in order to . , obtain a passport. ' • Twelfth. As evidence in the claim for Oacemp- tion frpm or the right’to jury and militia ser vice. Registration of (certificates of birth means more ', than a record of this or that child. It Inay mean much for the child in the future in establishing an cestors and protection in case of any question aris ing over exact informatio n of date of birth, place and parents. Mnrriage licenses arc made a matter of record and why not birth certificates? In the past our state and country, have been slack in this par ticular, but now that they are awakening to its im portance, no one should enter a protest or block in any way its absolute enforcement. PECAN INDUSTRY IMPORTANT Clarke county is- taking the lead in the pecan in dustry and a number of orchnrds of several thousand trees are in cultivation and many of them bearing suf ficiently for commercial purposes. Trees three to four years old bear a limited amount of pecans and these fivfc to six years old bear a full crop and become valuable from a commercial stand point. It is not an expensive crop to make and the demand for these nuts is strong at all times, Jho cost of planting an orchard is not over fifty to sixty dollars an acre, ami for the first few years other crops can be planted between the trees, the cultiva tion of which will not interfere in any way with the growth and development of the tree. When matured and producing for the market such orchards will bring in from one thousand to fifteen hundred dol lars an acre on an average yield. This section is peculiarly adapted for growing pe cans and in a few years, if the increase of the boll weevil continues, the farmers will find in pecan or chards a splendid substitute for cotton and one more profitable than cotton has ever been. The cost of producing a crop of pecans is not so expensive as cotton and the inerme is much greater. It is time our farmers were thinking of the pecan industry and putting out trees and even .though they do not care to make a business of growing and marketing tho nuts they will find a ready sale for their orchards at a profitable price. ' A CONVENTION BURFjCll FOR ATHENS In practically all of the cities in the country there hae been organized a convention bureau and the ex ■ pense attached to holding and entertaining convon- A'®" 8 I* underwritten by the business men of the city- ■ Athens should have a convention bureau in charge of rsome one responsible for securing conventions. With direct activities employed many gatherings can be secured for this city and the cost to those inter- es.ed would be only a nominal sum each year. The benefits to be derived from such occasions is fnestim- BRIM» a “ d advertises a city more thoroughly than |Bpn>Ugn any other agency, sir .T* 16 “yanization should be independent of any h other civic or commercial organization and should be operated on a business system without any great expense attached to its conduct. There is no doubt that some enterprising citizen would cheerfully give ■ jurrirlent time and attention to the project to secure conventions and through committees direct the jnfiyrtainment of the visitors while in session here. Now is the time to organize and commence work for next year’s conventions. Such an organization will not be an expense and a burden to our people but would be a splendid investment.
