Notwithstanding that the past two years having been seasons of depressions, short crops and other' agencies producing unfavorable business conditions, all lines of business have held their own and are commencing the fall trade with the brightest prospects since the closing of the § world-wide war. in this'section crops were never better in propor tion to the acreage cultivated and it to the gener opinion that in the territory tributary *° A h Bes jdw hale of cotton will be averaged to the acre. ^ Besidw other crops have been grown just as successfully i rd there is scarcely a farmer in this section who has not enough of meat, com, wheat and potatoes to do him, besides poultry and an ample supply of feedstuff for his stock. With this condition exist ing, Athens merchants are bound to reap a harvest this fall. The farmer has not urchased lavishly in several vears. The time has cofne when he will be forccfl to buy clothing, shoes, hats and other wear- intf apparel which he has bought scantily during the past three years. This year he will have some thing to buy with and the merchant who is pre- ared with a full stock of merchandise will find this year to be one of tho’most profitable in a number of years. J Besides there has been much building in Athens this year. The Alumni Hall and thc John MiUedge Dormitory on the campus of the University of Geor- gia, both were large contracts and represented over two hundred thousand dollars. Then there har been more business houses remodeled than usual, and new firm cmnmencing business which is one of the nest indications of the growth and substantial condition hero. This is borne out by the fact that Woolworth, one ofthe largest syndicates of stores in the country hasi leased and had remodeled two large store rooms and Ups concern will be ready for business in a few Weokr. If Athens were not' an unusually good busi ness center, a cororation ofthls character would never‘have elected to locate here. , , These and many more reasons could be given for the Wonderful growth and substantial conditions which now exist in Athens and the encour,aging pros- po ts for the remainder of the year will record 1923 as one of tho most prosperous years in the history of Athens. I BSHfiftl | ' 1 ; THE TAX COMMISSION Next Thursday the members of the tax commis sion appointed by governor Walker are scheduled to meet in this city. No fixed program has been an nounced, but it is understood that tho purpose of tho visit is for the members to meet with our business men and exchange views on the all-absorbing .ques tion cf taxation as now exist in this state.’ There are many.plans in the minds of the people and if this committee can by conferring with representative business men in all sections ofthe state gather some thing definite which can be put in tangible shape and a tax measure formulated which will give relief to the. depleted treasury the commission will have rendered a service to the tax payers of the state which should bo appreciated. It is well that Athens has been designated as one of tho centers for tax investigation and conference. . Here is located the mother institution of the'educa- tionul-institutions of-the state. Here the members can see 'more and learn more of the needs of its greatest school and its branches than they could learn, from any other source. It is to be hoped that the commission will not limit its session to a few hours or a (iay, but that they will remain in session here un til they have thoroughly surveyed the field and se- r’lll’Pll Folllliln lllfnrntntinn nf flin mnirMifiirln ll«n curocitreliable information of the magnitude of the dilutions and the deplorably small amount ap- opriated each year by the legislature for the main tenance and support of the state's greatest asset fi. .The members of this commission should be met oitf citizens and every courtesy and every aid >\vn these men. These gentlemen accepted their | t &jnmj£sions purely as a patriotic ctyty. They are givjr.g-their time and the best there is in them for the service of their state. It is most commendable on thejr part and the people of Georgia owe to them th,cir thanks and appreciation. U/jAtl&nta is campaigning for five hundred thousand population in 1930. What about Athens setting her pegs for 50,000 population? America stands supreme in war; in commerce and now in prize .fighting. A hearty welcome should be given the members of the tax commission when they visit Athens this week. hamber of Commerce should arrange a pro- r the mwing and entertaining the members the tax commission and aid in supplying them with such information as they may desire in gathering statistics and information for the formation of a tax pleasure for this state. ■ *• , • SUNDAY.
