DANGER LURKS IN PETITION
The officials of the Atlantic Coast line have made
■application to the Inter-State Commerce Commission
for authorisation of that company to purchase the
Clinchfield and Ohio railroad. On the face of the
petition there does hot appear anything unusual,
but when it is analyzed there may be serious dan
ger lurking in the application, as it stands to both
the public and the state.
The,Atlantic Coast Line controls four of the lines
operating in the coal fields and with the purchase
of the Clinchfield and Ohio it would give to that
company five arteries for distributing the products
of the coat mines in Tennessee and Virginia. The
Georgia railroad is leased and controlled by the L.
& N. and the L. & N. is controlled by the Atlantic
Coast Line, so it is alleged. This being ture the
purchase of the Clinchfield and Ohio by the Atlantic
Coast Line, so it is alleged. This being true the
and especially to Athens and intermediate points
would be directed via Atlanta and from Atlanta over
the Georgia road into Athens. As it*is now the bulk
of these shipments are received over the S. A. L.
which is a shorter route for the coal dealers. Be
that as may, the freight rates would be the’ same,
but the greatest danger lies in the fact that so soon
as the Atlantic Coast Line gains possession of these
lines entering the coal fields, the W. &. A. road,
owned by.the state, would lose practically all of the
coal shipments. Whether the state can afford for
Atlantic Coast Lino to* come into control of the coal
.business is worth investigating on the part of the
■ Attorney General. When the present lease has ex
pired and this business directed to other lines it will
mean a decrease In the value of the state’s property.
It is worth considering and it would be wise on the
part of the state officials to be represented at the
hearing on the application when it comes before the
commission the latter part of thiq month.
REUNION OF THOSE WHO WORE THE GREY
The Confederate veterans are meeting in Some
this week. The line of these noble men is growing
thiner each year, but with flying flags and the
strains of music bursting forth with Dixie, the Rebel
yell can be heard on all sides and the old heroes
march with a quickened step as of yore. In a few years
the last remnant of the bravest and truest armies
the world has ever known will have passed to the
great beyond. It brings a feeling of sadness each year
when these reunions are held. ■ So many who will be
present this year who will not answer to the roll
call next year. And many who answered to the roll
call last year will not be there to answer this time.
They have answered the last roll call and their souls
are now on High marching in line with their chief
and mingling with the souls of Lee/Davis, Gordon,
Jackson and other great generals who have _ gone _
before them. * - •*
• The youngest confederate soldier is now past three
score year and ten, and in natural events of life
there is only a few more, years left for them on this
earth. Eevery attention should be paid them by the
present generation and their reunions Bhould be
given the aid of all citizens and the occasion be
made one of pleasure and comfort for those who sac
rificed their all for the projection of their homes
and loved ones.
These old soldiers meet and talk of Lee and Davis
the president of the confederacy; though dead for
thirty-four years, President Davis Is fresh In their
memories as though it were yesterday. Many of
them decrepit and aged, in memory they are as
young today as when they shouldered their muskets
and marched to line, facing the enemy. Those
days have passed and now we hav<\ a reunited
country and the old confederate veterans And the
hid union soldier have long since forgotten and for
given, and their sons and grandsons have gone to
the front in solid phalanx for the protection of our
homes and for our country, against foreign invasion.
Judge Lewis C. Russell is following the precedent
of Judge Roscoe Luke, of the Court of Appeals,
in that he caused the Superior Court of Gwinnett
county to be opened with prayer. Judge Luke
spends his off-days preaching and, now we may ex
pect to hear of other-judges opening their courts
with prayer.

| MANY MILLION DOLLARS
HIDDEN AWAY IN FRANCS
PARIS.—^All over France men
and women for years have been
hoarding American currency. I
became available in large quanti
ties with the coming of American
soldiers during, the war, and the
French were quick,to see its value.
Today people are Wondering how
many dollars are concealed in the
“woolen socks” of the republic.
The estimates run from $1,000,-
000 to $5,000,d00. Recently a
Frenchman living in Chaumont,
who kept a candy store during the
war, disclosed to a friend a strong
box containing over $12,500 in Am
erican bill of various denorriina-
tions, which he said he would sell
when the franc reached 20 for one
dollar. “There are a good many
men in this town alone who have
more than I,” this man declared.

—It's not!"
That way of talking Is utter rot,
This world is hardly tbe least de

The sort of a world It ought to be.
It’s full of selfisbnehs, greed and
strife,
A sort of Jungle of seething life,
Of heedless cruelty, needless pain,
Wheru millions struggle and toll
In vain.
There Is a wavs of prosperity
permeating the buslneat air of
the community and the mer

For the optimist Is very far
From liking matters the way they

He sees conditions, he knows the

Athens citizens have responded nobly to the call
for funds for the relief of the Japansese sufferers. Our
people can always be depended upon to meet every,
deserving obligation placed upon them.
Atkinson county citizens are determined to have
a demonstration.Bgent for that county. All pro
gressive and successful farmers favor the modern
system of farming and the diversification of crops.
It is the demonstrator who is worth so much to the
farmers in the development of the resources of ag
ricultural pursuits in this state.
