ATHENS ABBATTOIR A SUCCESS For many years an abbattoir was discussed 'for this city, but the matter dragged along and nothing definite was done with the project until last year when the butchers of the city organized and built „ nP Submitting a ]>r«p***it«>in to *be mayor and couiici! of their Intentions, the matter was favorably passed upon by that '.o.'v and in a few months a modern and up-to-date abbattoir was in operation. Under the present management it has proved a finan cial success, but the greatest succes of all has been that it has proved an absolute protection to the consumers of Athens from diseased meats. Every animal slaughtered must be ca ied to the abbattoir and given a thorough inspection and then kept at the plant for twenty-four hours before it can be - slaughtered in order to make certain that the ani mal is not in any manner effected by disease which would produce illnes or death to the consumer. While it has its critics whose objections arise, no doubt, caused from the slight inconvenience to those who have their slaughtering done at the plant, yet the importance of having absolute protection from impure meats should outweigh nny objection from individuals. Another feature which has been worth while to the community is the large increase shown in the use of home raised meats. * More cattle, hogs and sheep are being raised and sold in this market than ever before. Native beef cattle, properly fed and cared for produce superior meat to the western meat shipped here from other points. The demand for cattle and hogs is growing and the field for cat tle and hog raising is more desirable today than it has'ever been. Every pound of meat raised in this section can be used by the-local butchers and at a price profitable to the raiser. Cattle and hog rais- ' ^ jng is a new industry which can be made a paying one in this section and finds a ready money market at all times for the producer. .

THE JEWISH HALL OF FAME That the Jewish people of this nation have made tbmr way successfully in commerce, finance, litera- r t^'ejnd in law is borne out from an editorial which appeared recently in the New York World. The \ JewiUi people in business have proved their worth - anp,.ability to cope with all conditions and succeed when other ..atio -alities have not succeeded. This ™ oth , CI ' avocations as will be seen from sta- * 5?-5 ! 'i en *jl e J ew fah Tribune, a newspaper supported and edited by Jewish people. Here fa what the New York World has to say on the subject: . J. Ac <?> r(li at?to the readers of the Jewish Tri bune, the twelve outstanding Jews of the world are Albert Einstein, Chaim Weizmann, Israel « nZangwill, Louis Marshall, Louis D. Brandcte, /■ " rt j Heeding, Nathan Strauss, George Brandes, Chaim Bialik, Stephen Wise, Henri Bergson and '-*■ ■ Arthur Schnitzler. Five of these men are au- < tpow, three are engaged in the field of law or t politics, one is a chemist, one a mathematician, Sjfljj® * rabbi and one a philanthropist. The writ- v ten wo ™' I* w evident, fa at present the readiest passport of the race into the hall of fame. f . ‘^Tet the written word is the passport of near ly every other race-to fame at present, and to gather some inkling of the predilections of the ■; •** * ro "J the balloting one must turn to the list of all the persons mentioned in the contest.

Prnhahiv DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Everything And Not Much «f Anything. By HUGH ROWE. The'Veldoeta Timet, says: “When you read of a Smith Club these days It dose not necessarily mean a Hokt Smith Club to beck him for Pres ident. but It may mean a -Gypsy Smith club." The Times is revel Ing In the days that wo never be again.—Amen. murders, killings and holdups —only a few house-creator* have been plying their trade. However, you can never tell, a wave may break out here causing a panic in the old town and a car' nivaj of crime may bo lurking but will j around the comer ready to explode : That however, !* barely possible for Athens. Our people are too stable, law-abiding and God-fearing participate In any such conduct or, to allow others to engage in law lersness. Policeman Stlgall, of Atlan ta, was given a fifteen years sentence for the alleged shoot ing end killing of Detective Karnes recently in Atlanta, rrom evidence published there was nothing to justify the action or Stigall and the findings of s Pul ton county Jury wa* In keeping with Justice and the proper enforcement of the law.

Hero is an life of another. Murders, killings and hold ups In Atlanta have grown as common as pig tracks. There Is not a day but that the At lanta newspapers are not filled with accounts of crime committed In all walks of life, from tho street itinerant to the officers of the law. A wave of lawlessness seem* to bo sweeping over that city, and notwithstanding the activities of tbe officers In running down and bringing to trial the criminal*, and that thoy receive the penalties of tho courts It does not seem tc abate the festival of crlmo which teems to have a tendency to In-, create. It Is Indeed alarming—a condition which should in sonic manner be checked. Athene hat been free from anecdote which might bo i minder to some of us: I "The sago was discoursing on I honest criticism, which, he main- • toined. was a valuable commodity land ail too rare. The graucb was not much interested. "Let mo read this item,” sain the sage. He produced a clipping "An ounce of honet criticism,- ho read, "is worth more # than ; pound of flattery.” "Tho sago sighed. "How true this is," ho declared. "Honest criticism may be valu able.” responded tho grouch, "bui there’s no market for it." years old, was the child of Mr. and Mr-. McKinney. S. M.
