Local mer chants to date have enjoyed a better business this years than last, and with the usual bargain and clearance sales that take place during the month of August, shelves will he cleared and ready for the new fall goods. Already a number of local merchants are hr the markets buying fall and winter stocks, and In a few weeks these new goods will be coming for wards Ar a whole, Mocks all over the country are low,-and, this in turn means that the mills will be pushed to turn out the gods needed during the com ing sfcc months. . ‘ Indications for Athens and its trade territory this fall tare most optimistic. It is generally conceded that.* good cotton crop is on the way, despite the boll weevil, though the next few weeks are regarded as the n\ost critical period in the fight that has been waged against the weevil. Efforts should be made to interest some of the Co-operative Cotton Marketing Associations in Geor gia, |8 .make use of Athens this year as a large con centration point for their members’ cotton. A {hens’ warehouse,facilities are among the largest in th»< South; and the city also enjoys advantageous freight rates, besides for years being one of the larg est croton markets in Georgia. The chances are that the &)ltom has been reached in the ravages of the boll‘weevil in this section and that while for some yearLto come Athens’ cotton receipts may not be as largC.Yis before the advent of the weevil, yet each year- they will show a steady climb and increase in cottotf production in this territory.. # At'any rnte, the impression is general that the farmers are going to make a fairly good crop of cot ton tftia year, that they have largely accommodated * themselves lo living with the boll weevil, that they jire raising more and more of their own food and feetCTrops, and that cotton money will be more and more in the nature of a cash surplus for the future. If thift proves to be the case, the dollars that come in , from*tlie cotton crop will remain at home inrtead of goings to the West to pay for food, and this nimble dollarthat stays at home will find its way into every line3 trade and business activity this coming fall. to my craving I Rut if may lAior, So I won’t poison myself today), May ho ni fooj hotter aftor dinner.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE H» was not accompanied by any attendants, troubled with luggage full o’ jack but was rathar dis- guisad like a detective on duty at a wholesale bootlegger’s house the night of the favorite daughter's marriage. If you want to laugh, be merry, and enjoy an unusual trip just read* “Mr. Podd,” the new N book by Mr. Freeman Tilden. It is a humorous satirical work and If we judge correctly it seems that the satire is aimed at a very prominent man ufacturer of automobiles whose name is being mentioned frequent ly in connection with the approach ing presidential campaign. Inter national relations are a!** dealt death V v. by this work Sell expression of clilllren, tho new. fad name for misbehavior is a Is?, taken up. In fact, the book Ritr- gethcr is one of the l|cst of its kind we havo seen latefg. “Mr Podd.” the hook, is spark ling with humor and t$i^ humor is of high class. It Is noV tho rh**,-.. kind dished out nt cheaJi vaudeville houses. The theme of the bpofc -briefly expressed and and bo* as not detract from the reading enjo* ment Is ’that Mr. Podd, millionaire nozzle maker ohartersTT'fthlp and seta out on a voyage aropnd tho world to spread his vlewn of tho Ideal International commonwealth. With him goes Ills daughter and eight pilgrima*- who sympathize with Mr. Podd's Ideas, v j Ono of these pilgrims U a man by the name of David Dotsi y from WaycrosB, Georgia. This particular character is 'epresenter! as tho simplest of the eight and it may be that this Is the author's inten tional ;dab at the utnto of Georgia. Mr. Dotsey on oao occasion I a asked In all seriousness If he knows what an election is. ft seems from this that the author wonders if Georgians havo progressed to that point of democracy that elec tions aro held. Mr. Dotsey relieves his mind of this doubt. ! The author of this mirtltful tale, “Mr. Podd,” takes full advantage of his opportunities for humor in serlor-comlc treatment of tho mutiny of the crew, tho adfentures of the Podd pilgrims on a desert island, and tho love affairs that result from the marooning of tho party. There are laughs oil every page and a splco of satire through out.

Unfavora ble statements of repre sentatives responsible.” I feel that this wire Is a gross inustlce to Messrs Dp- Hose and Holden, since their nttltude throughout the entire hearing of this 4>lll was one of constant Impartiality. Both representatives stated to the commltteo that, since there was a contest on this hill, that they would leavo entirely to the judgment of the committee the question as to whether the proposed measuro was a wlso one or not. They both asked tho committee to give each side of the question a full hearing and to take such ac tion as they saw fit, after having heard the statements mado by the advocates and op ponents of the hill. 1 think that this statement is but simple Justice to both •Mr. Du Homo and Mr. Holden.
