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 riculture; the State Normal School; Lucy Cobb ite and the best public'school system in the Athens has more to offer for homeseekera lives tors than any place in the country.

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.
