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 L’ F qApi ,Ic S auce Every football squad should have at least one extra eleven for grand stand coaches to train. Who 8s*d Anything About Figure* Not Lying?

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 wrong in principal and more than wrong in that ffiferXin'toestoto ,ante a ” d ***** ™ ^ x 1 "’ Hi°"nt which will bo realized from this tax w ou|d it break down the income . ft ‘/if we re never collected and it is to ho BM.that at the nest session of ihe 'legislature, this Bjost and extreme measure will he repealed for he sake of decency and that which is right and just THE COLLARD SEED INDUSTRY . “ no I " ore appetizing vegetable grown h»n the blue stem Georgia collard.

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.

The Georgian Hotel le one of the beet advertisements Athena possesses. There le not ■'more up-to-date and mod ern hostelery In the state. The 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 ager, contributes much to the pop 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 wherever and whenever he meets them. ATHEN8 TWELVE YEAR8 AGO Saturday, October 7, 1911. Cotton: 9 9-16 cents. Weather: Hot.

Seek and Ye Shall Find D "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."
