BUSINESS OUTLOOK EWCOUURAGING
. As predicted in the Eanncr-Herald several weeks
ago crops in this section will be better than they
have been in from three to four years past. While
the cotton acreage has been reduced, the production
will be unusally large which will give planters
splendid returns in money value. Besides there
# has been raised in this section a larger crop than
for several years past. Another encouraging feat
ure which insures better times is the fact that ,Jhe
farmers in this territory have raised enough vegMa-
blns, poultry, eggs, cattle and hogs to support his
family and provide for the cost of the upkeep of Ms
farm. This fact has been proved from the sales at
the curb market. That condition being' true, these
people will have more money to spend this fall with
3the merchants than they have had since the- war.
Merchandise of all kinds, clothing, shoes, hats, fur
niture, stoves and farm implements will be in de
mand. It is only a question of the merchants being
prepared to Bupply the purchasers. Every/ merchant
should see to it that his stock is complete in every
department and if there is a shortage in any line
of staple goods, he should order quickly and be
ready for the opening of business which is now upon
us.
Athens has been recognized as a market offering
advantages over Atlanta and other nearby cities.
The freight rates are just as cheap and our mer
chants buy in as large quantities as do the mer
chants in some of the cities larger than Athens and
for that reason better prices on goods are given and
the purchaser saves railroad fare, gasoline and hotel
bills by buying from the Athens merchants.
t w !,. Crops are practically made for this year. The
consumer is,in need of the goods. Prosperity is here
and the merchants whq its prepared to supply the
- demands and needs of the farmers and who advert-
• ti.se his wares win be the-merchant-tb-Monrh- the '
benefits and profits. The buyingseason - is here;
and Athens stores should prepare for a, busy fall
trade.

RESTRICT THE USE OF FIREARMS
Almost daily deaths are reported, from "stfug-
or scuffling’’ over a pistol. It has ceased
be the old saying of the “unloaded” gun, but now .
ien a wife or husband is shot and one or the other
is no longer here to testify, the real cause of the Jife
being taken is left a mystery which can be solved
BHHg by the surviving participant A case in ’At-'
lanta: the wife and husband struggling over the
possession of a pistol, in a playful manner, which
resulted in the husband/ losing his life from the dis-
KBhargo of the weapon. Our laws are too elastic in the
use of firearms, concealed weapons especially. It
is growing to bo a serious matter and unless rigid
enforcement of the law is practiced there is no tell
ing where crime will end. .
I > The home protection by firearms it? abused and
in many instances the pistols supposed to.be kept
in the home for protection ftom burglars afid house
breakers is fnore often used for the settlement of do- s ~
mestic differences than to drive away the law
breaker who seeks to r.teel and murder. '
, Unless {ho courts take cognizance of the commhrt
use of firearms, both concealed and at hdfne, by 1
prohibiting it in a manner through fines and sen
tences the practice will be kept up and grow in se
riousness daily. This is becoming a reckless age*

, bcuffling and struggling” over pistois should be
popped by the courts by administering heavy fines
ami sentences on those proved to be guilty of such
acts.
