The radical action on the part of the members of
the last legislature'in imposing a tax on grand opera
directed at the grand opera which has been held in
Atlanta for the past several years ws narrow-sighted
policy on the part of the lawmakers and a policy
-•hich wii! work hnrm to the state more than it will
to Atlanta. The Anniston (Ala.) Star in speaking
of the tax levied on operas has the following to say:
Legislators of Georgia evidently find the
, height of esthetic pleasure in “Yes, We Have No
Bananas” or “I Wish I Was in Heaven a-Settin’
Down," but an aria from “The Bride of Lam-
mermoor,” “Aida/* “Tosca,” or one of the other
■ favorites that have-always played in Atlanta
fails to give them any thrills. A black-face min-
trel or an old-time fiddlers’ contest would
rouse the divine afflatus within their souls,
t the performance of Kreisler or Heifetz are
. them the merest drivel in the way of art—
_eorgia’s solons are doing the entire South an
injustice by making it harder for the people of
• this section to enjoy the world’s best music.
[. . Not only has this newspaper criticised the un
sellable action of the legislators, but the news-
join of the country have dealt much criticism to
orgia and to the lawmaking body. Grand opera
i meant much to the south; it has not been a local
positoin by any means, but it has been a south-
le project, people coming to Georgia from prac
tically every southern state to attend ; the great
estival of opera which can not be seen nor heard,
outside of New York. Atlanta, of course, reaps

people of Atlanta had the nerve and enterprise to
put up their own funds to guarantee this organize*
tion sufficiently to pack up and move their entire
plant.and performers to Atlanta. It was no small
undertaking on the part of these patriotic citizens
W ‘Atlanta to shoulder the responsibility of such arv
enterprise as the Metropolitan Grand Opera Co.
However, they did and their efforts have met with
iccers and they have given to the people of Geor-
a and to the entire south an opportunity to seo and
car grand opera the equal to that in New York. •
No other city in the south had the courage to do
what the Atlanta people did, and no\y for a coterie
pprejudice legislators, narrow in the extreme, to
j|g|HKind strike at th/aa enterprising citizens
feAgS* by placing a tax on grand opera ia inex-
usable to say the least. No matter what amount of
»x might be fixed for such performances, not a pen-
iy would come out of the pockets of the - manage
ment. of the onera company, but every dollar assessed
trough taxation is collected from the pockets of the
eople of Georgia and the south and from these At-
»nta citizens who from a patriotic purpose solely
Jill be forced to pay whatever tax that has been
pxed by this oratic and unreasonable legislature. It

With the best prospects for
crops this section has enjoyed
in a number of years and with
a general revival of business
In all lines, the peoplo who do their
trading In Athens except some
thing from the city In the way of
wholesome amusement, it was
Uiougnt at one tfmo that a fair
might be held and premiums offer
ed on all kinds of agricultural ex
hibits which would be quite an In
ducement for the farmers to enter
thoir products and especially their
poultry, hogs and cattle., A fair
would do much to encourage the
farmer to raise more foodstuff,
poultry and live stock and build up
n rival feeling which would result
In much good in this section. How
ever, it is too laie now to tinder^
take the project, Wt It Is not too
late to commence planning ofr
next year and' In February.to get
out prenflnm lists tor all kinds of
farm products, hogs, cattle and
poultry. It can /be made a big
success ssd s vshmblc
for this section.
Speaking of fairs, a number
of adjacent counties are hold- ,
Ing fairs this year and the
number of splendid Exhibits *

and Monroe are to be congratula
ted on their fairs. These people
have learned that It pays to co
operate with the farmers In their
sections by giving them something
to attract them to their towns and
to entertain them after thqy have
once got them there. It ‘
business and besides it builds a
better feeling between neighbors
which Is worth while.
The value of ■ newspaper le
never appreciated until you
have been deprived of Its daily
visits to your home. With some
people a subscription to the home
newspaper is tho last thing to pay
and the obligation Is often ques
tioned as being one of the least Im
portant. A versk, by an unknown
author, on the' subscriber who.
never paid bis subscription, might
be s reminder to some people who
have not had the proper apprecia
tion of the necessity of paying his
subscription promptly. It says:
IF I SHOULD DIE
If I should die tonight
And you should come to my
cold corpse and say.
Weeping and heartsick o’er
my lifeless clay—
I say, if I should die tonight,
And you ehould come to me
and ssy, ’’It’s sin
To owe so long for the paper
' Here’s ten.”
I might arise the while,
BUT I’D DROP DEAD AGAIN.

not ■'more up-to-date and mod

traveling public have long since
learned of its facilities and day in
and day out the register shows a
full house. Besides the hotel in lb
self being an Inducement to stop
over, the management has a great
j deal to do with its - popularity.
Harrry Gannon, the genial man

ularity enjoyed by this hotel. Ho
is not only a thorough hotel man,
but he Is more than that, and
every guest stopping with him soon
begins to feel like home folks and
a feeling of friendship springs up
which Is lasting. Magnetic and
wholesouled, in every particular,
he draws and holds friends

"I will Instruct thee, and teach thee In
the way which thou shalt go; I will
guide thee with mine eyes."—-Ps. 32:1.
IVINE worship is the highest act of man. To
worship God in its true meaning is the greatest
privilege of mankind. When a man truly wbr-
ships he is receiving knowledge and power; he
opens himself, like a flower, to the universal light of
Truth, and receives and drinks in its life imparting
rays. ; .
Worship implies the element of conscious inferiori
ty and requires participation. It demands that the
worshipper throw his whole personality into the act if
he would come in contact with the personality of God*
A poor sermon, commonplace music or disturbing de
tails do not prevent worship.
He who attyneS his mind to that which is pure and
beautiful and good, who in the hour of worship strives
to reach to the central and eternal heart, of things,
brir.js himself in touch with the personality of God and
will receive Divine guidance.
"Seek and Ye shall find, knock and it shall be
opened unto you."
The church is the appointed place for divine wor
ship. through which there is p. way to knowledge, wis
dom. truth and power. * ,
