“ ORGANIZE A BUILDING COMPANY
With the coming of the fall and the opening of
the Schools and colleges the cry for homes is heard
on every hand. There is a demand in Athens today
for ■several hundred medium size modern homes.
Newcomers are seeking places to rent and many of
them desire to purchase. Some for cash and some foi
timd'paymcnts. A building company is one of our
grciftest needs to start the ball of prosperity rolling
in this city. The demand is here and it is only a
question of having some agency through which peo
ple inay be enabled to purchase a home on time pay-
Siich an organization would not only reap hand-
some dividends, but it would give work to hundreds
of mechanics and day laborers who in turn would
spend practically every dollar received from their
labor with the merchants in this city which would
flow-through every chanel of commerce in the city.
It Is believed that such an organization could he
worked up here, through the Chamber of Commerce
sponsoring it. No better work could be done by this
organization than to undertake a building program
Building material is cheaper than it has been in two
year# and the tendency is downward; labor is more
reasonable in cost and plentiful than it has been since
the War. With these conditions existing, it is the op
portune time for our people to awake to the lmpor-
tancf of a building campaign and commence the
work, at one®j nJvergity o{ Georg j a . the State College

winter and the lowest death r^e to be found any
where. It is an ideal location and a safe and sub
stantial commercial point for all lines of business.
WHY SHOULD DEMOCRATS COMPLAIN
Wi' are at a loss to understand the attitude
of
deitnfcratic newspapers of the country in criticising
the appointment of former Congressman Siemp, of
‘ ia, by President Coolidge as his secretary. It
.lifted that Mr. Siemp has been a life-long re-
Ian and the only republican representative from
ite of Virginia since the civil war. It is also
rged that Mr. Siemp while in congress made a
iittss of selling appointments of postmasters in his
state,* His famous “Dear Ben” letters have been
given-wide publicity but it did not seem to lose him
the IjjEnst influence with the republican party and its
loaders. If he is the character of man the democratic
prersvof the country would have one believe then it
it n fortunate appointment for the democratic party
and Will afford amunition to be used in the coming
;ign.
negro newspapers are criticising the President
appointment for the. reason that Mr. Siemp
en a ring leader in organizing a "lllly white"
lican party in thessouth and eleminating the
entirely from the councils of the leaders. If
lemp is no< unpopular as he is rated to be, then
mocrats can use the appointment for material
__ __ before the voters of the country with against
President Cooiidge’s candidacy.
11 “Soling post offices for cash” is said to be his
slogan and during the days of his regime in Washing
ton, While a congressman, it is said that his income
from What source was enormous. There must be
something to the man or else he would not have been
able to have sold these offices and at the same time
kept gie faith of the leaders of his party. It leaked
out, « course, but it does not seem to havo been
credited by the republicans with much seriousness
or eUJ6 they would have sidetracked him long ago and
now one of the best appointments the president has
to dispense is given to the man who traded . and
traffieed in post offices, and no doubt, other federal
officoa.

TAKE HIM AWAV
Hot weather I don’t so much mind;
When other folks say, “Ain't it
terrible,"
' often remark that I find
The state of the climate quite
bearable;
The one thing that Rets on mv
nerves
And fills mo with bllo and a?-
rldity
Is when some wise hobo ob
serves,
“It isn't the heat—It's hnmidltv:"
Whenever that statement is mode
You’d think that the bird who
presented ft
'lad done It without any aid.
Had studied It out and Invented
it!
Whereas I most firmly believe
This phTase, in its utter stupidi
ty.
Was whispered by Adam to Eve,
“It isn't tho heat,' It’s humidity.;'
't’s hard, very hard to forgive
Tho lad who inquires. “Is It hot

And though we should not let him
live,
Of fellows like that wo hive shot
enough. j

That guy who romnrkn with n
