Thoughts For The Day
Whataoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with
thy might; for there i* no work, nor device, nor
knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither
thou goest.—Ecct. 9:19.
Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream
enough before you die, without arranging for it.—

THE FOLLY OF CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT
MAINTENANCE
Continued and more general criticism is being
heard about the up-keep of our public highways, es
pecially the main thoroughfares like the Bankhead
highway. Most of these highways have been tuken
over by the State Highway Qepartment and if we
'understand it properly the upkeep is in the hands.of
that department. •
But the public is not satisfied with the mainten
ance. Take for instance the highway from Athens
to Atlanta, via Winder and Lawrenceville, outside
of Clarke county, where most of the scraping has
been done by county, forces, it is washed and worn
until an automobile is all but shaken to pieces In
driving over it.
It seems that all the occasions of recent rains have
been lost in the way of scraping this highway and it
has been allowed to deterioate until it is literally
worn in cross ruts and holes that make riding over it
one continuous jolt.
Much effort and lots of time and money were
spent on this hig'Hway. The same is true of other
sections not only of this route but of others that were
built, top soiled and then left to wash away.
Thousands of dollars arc being paid into the High-
.wav, department through tag tax and other sources
and some part of this certainly should be applied to
the up-keep of the roads that have already been
constructed. ’ 1
The roads of Clarke county 1 , we are glad to soy, are
' above the average of those in this section. This is
due mainly to the County Commissioners who from
x! m<>to time order them scraped, even if important
k, such as paving, has to stop.
A farmer doesn’t plant a crop and then not work
it. if he does waste is the harvest. The same is true
of roads. Nothing is accomplished, except an ex
penditure of the tax payers’ money, if they are
constructed and then hot kept up. The public wants
that road scraped, and scraped often enough to keep
them in comfortable traveling condition. This is
somebody’s business. Whose?
V.
t .. ., fall business
Babson, in his last weekly review of business con
ditions, declared that the best opportunities for busi
ness this fall lie in the South. He might have gone
, a step furthpr and declared that the best spot in the
! 1 South is this immediate section. The indications are
that ,our crops are the best in this immediate section
■ to he found anywhere in the state and among the
best to lie found in the entire South.
And this brings up the question: are our merchants
preparing to handle the rush of increased business
that the next few weeks will bring to our city? Re
ports tfaow that during the recent months retail busi
ness in many Southern cities show increases of from
[ 13 to 28 per cent. This has naturally made inroads
upon stocks of goods and with the conservative pol
icy that most merchants have been pursuing for
some time stocks generally in the South are below
; Lie normal for this time of the year. ’
If Athens is to do its shore of foil business, Its full
share in comparison with other cities, Athens mer
chants should see to it that their stocks aro full and
complete in all lines of merchandise. This is one
yenrlwhen the wise merchant will buy liberally and
stock largely in order to bo in position to handle fall
. business. Under present conditions, it is not only
! necessary to figure on local competition, but also on
| neighboring city competition, for country trade in
I these days of automobiles can shop almost as easily

ville,land Augusta as it can in Athens.
- THE COTTON LEAF WORM 1
; Several weeks ago what is known as the cotton
leaf worm invaded the cotton belt and for a time it
p ; appeared that the worm dd destroy what cotton
p the tjpll weevil had left. »» jwever, the cotton grow
ers fought the worm with as much determination as
they had fought the boll weevil and in a few weeks,
Hhe worm had been routed and very few of them
left to continue the ravages of destruction on the cot
ton crop. However, according to entomologists,
the fight is not over. The life of the worm is about
twenty days and the return of the pest may be ex
pected at any time.
A close watch should be kept by the farmers and
the very first indication of its return should be met
with renewed dusting and- poisoning on the leaves of
the cotton. This worm is hatched from eggs deposit
ed by moths on the underside of the leaves of the cot
ton plant. So soon as it is hatched the worm begins
feeding on the leaves and in a fewdays spins a webb
and enters a stage of transformation, back into a
moth again. The moth immediately begins deposit
ing its eggs and the worms are hatched out in large
The cotton crop is at least three weeks late this
year and for the next two weeks the fight must be
kept up against the boll weevil and against the re
turn of the cotton leaf worm. The goal is in sight
and with 3 few more touchdowns of poison, the
.weevil will be eradicated from the crop for this year.

There has "been much talk latterly
of Freemasons being a forbidd?n to

definite action along this'line has
been taken by -the Grand Maltler or

question arises, then, as to what

surprising that so little Is heard of

It • is because of these ‘‘Kian-

often been expressed that any man
can at once be a true KLamman
