HARMONY AND CO-OPERATION v F6r a community to succeed grow and prosper ' Uiere must be harmony and co-operation among the I Citizenship. No community ever prospered where I there existed factionalism, petty prejudices and A jealousy of one another for fear that one may gain f a little more publicity or become more prominent, in * this or that movement. An enterprise for the good ■ i6f the whole community-serving the public and ! without the least tinge of any personal benefits to j| any citizen should be accepted by the whole people [ and given unanimous support. Simply because the B project was not rugger ted by this or that one does l Hot excuse citizens or organizations in bringing OP S’- position to the movement simply because it was not I originally sponsored by them. If the movement is j for the good of the community, all good citizens I should join their support to the cause. , If we ever r expect to grow and expand and build a greater and | better city it must come from a hearty accord on the p 7 part of the entire citizenship. Athens has grown I beyond the station of the small town and small town r ways; it is in a progressive city class and to be pro- | gressive its citizens must live and work in a harmon- . ious manner and put service above self. Strife I- brought on by factionalism; greed for personal am- r bitions to be satisfied is the root and basis ,for de moralization and the breeding of an unrest and dis- I astrous condition for the community. Let us forget r petty "differences, desires for personal) aspirations P and give our support whc/ieheartedly to all move- ( ments and purposes for the betterment of our city. RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN COMMERCE 1 If there was ever an opportunity to restore con- j fidcnce in all channels of commerce, this is the op- J portunc time. With an unusual crop of cotton, for > the acreage, and with the largest crop of foods and feed stuff, poultry, cattle and hogs in this section, the period of prosperity is dawning upon us and forcing a return of normalcy. Our financial in stitutions a be stronger than they have ever been. More money is now on deposit in the local banks than at any time since the close of hostilities. Our ware house facilities offer every accommodation to the {farmer and cotton grower which could be expected under sound and safe business conditoins. Every Sale of cotton placed on rtroage in this city is amply 'protected and bankable receipts issued for its value. Wn rehouses In this city are inspected weekly by an independent, and disinterested auditor who checks every bale of cotton placed on storage and records Uhe name of the owner and the date of the deposit and the grade' of the cotton. Such a system as is in augurated among the warehouses is a safe and satis factory one to both the owner of the cotton and the warehouseman. There is not a market in the stato .vii ■ ii* there is paid a higher price for cotton than in Athens; there is not a city in the state where the merchants sell their goods at a cheaper price; there is not a city in the state with a similar popula te n to Athens, where ther is mope ready money in die banking institutions' than in this city. Now fjxen, with thece conditoins existing and these , in ducements being offered, it behooves the farmer, the -ottim grower and even the merchant in this section o do their trading in Athens. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. — Private vices from Mexico indicate a great deal of apprehension as a result of the removal of President Obregon to the state of Jalisco because of his critical illness. * These advices said partisans of Adolfo De La Huerta and former Governor Calles, two leading con tenders for the presidency, ’ flocking into the capitol. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Everything And Not Mudh at Anything. By HUGH POWE. , COMMENCE THE NEW CROP RIGHT I: ;, not too early to commence planning.for plant ing time. Many counties have already formulated a r i and the planters agreed upon a schedule for 'coming year. In Colquitt county, the farmers "Iftive made ,up the following plan for the new year which appdars to be a splendid program for that sec tion I the state: p'&irii, velvet beans and runner peanuts, 10 acres. pOiit* followed by peavine hay, five acres. r'Sweet potatoes, sugar cane, garden, etc., five acre.-. ‘‘-Melons, Spanish peanuts or tobacco, five acres. f/Trtick, three acres. oj-VOTton, tive acres. I^Pennanent pastures or waste or wet land, three to live acres. F>3ttree to five milch cows, two brood sows and fifty purebred chickens. r*j|r the farmers in every county in the state would sfe? and agree un some definite plan for the new TOjnrthe results would show a wonderful improve ment over crops formerly grown without any defi nite plan. In this section of the state the schedule ftpuld be changed materially. There are things which can be raised here that can not be raised in ftp lower section of the state and no doubt there are things which can be raised in South Georgia which Swd not be raised profitably in this section. But ifte all-important part of the whole proceeding is to Bjmuiate and agree on some definite plan appli- Pi* *° the section in which the plan is provided, gjieh a movement could be directed by the state col- |R ° f a/niculture and the Chamber of Commerce Irtlf'M fa ™ cra f r°m this «nd surrounding counties ■OTM to attend a meeting for the proper orgauiza- of this important movement sugar shortage in Athens—why? ■October, the most delightful month of the year is Mm? The cessation of the Irish "war" has released a crop of perfectly good storoes. An Irish peer was threatened with death, and It was left to one of Ills own retainers to write the annonymous letter. In due time Lord X received the following “Your life has been declared for feit, and' yau must be prepared In stantly to meet your end. “I*. S.—I trust your Lordship won’t thing there’s anything per sonal In this.” An ordinance to amend an ordinance by striking the word “dog catcher” therefrom and in lieu there of insert the word '‘policeman” so ns when amended - the ordinance shall read —“that from the passage of this ordinance, policemen shall act in the capacity of official dog catch ers in the city of Athens.” Will such an ordinance pass the mayor and council? Wo do not believe that It will for there are some of the counellmen who are unwilling to make dog catchers out of the poller force. When the ordinance is put on its final passage there will no doubt arise opposition suf ficient to defeat the measure and we believe that it should be de feated - . And, here is another one of the Irish jokes which no dcubt has been heard quite oft 94, but a joke on an Irishmin will bear repeating: grumbling because he bad no money to spend while on his summer holidays. ‘I don't know what to do,” he groused to his friend Jack. ^ “Now Pat,” foe said, “you ought absence may cau-iii the other mem to take your wages to tho^ postof* of the team to work that much The Georgia “Bulldogs” will meet Yale without three of the star players, Fletcher, Randall and Cleckley. However, their flee and* put five or six shillings in every week. By the tltpe your holi days are due you will have a com fortable hum in hand.” “Right!’ repleid Pat. “I'll try It.” Some weeks later Jdck met him ' and asked ’|!m how much he had saved up In thO postoffice. “ I have no idea,” said - Pat. “No Idea! Haven’t you got a book like mine?” , “No; I never troubled about a book. I just dropped my money in a letter box as I was passing.” touch SSftosa? jjjtf&Sj harder and when the final count has been made, maybe Georgia will not show np ho find after ail. But in our opinion with these men out | of the game, Georgia will get a low classification. The Ludowici News says: “We have some stingy men around Ludowici but none stingy enough to buy roasting ears with yellow kernels so the kids will think they have already been buttered.” All communities have tightwad's. It has always been that way and It will ever so be, but there are so many liberal-hearted cltixens It over-balances the shortcomings of others and in the final summing up of a community there will be found a great deal more of the good than of the bad. Florida will held thirty fairs this fall. That is a promising outlook and an indication of prosperity and better times. Confidence is being restored and before we realize It, normalcy will .return overnight and better timos will bo upon us. Conditions nre im proving ropldly and a better feel Ing prevails in all lines of com merco and industry. ATHEN8 TWELVE YEAR8 AGO Friday, October 13, 1911 Cotton: 9 1-4 cents. Weather: Fair and cool.
