DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A Mttlo of everything And Not Much at Anything.

GOVERNOR WALTON AND THE KUKL^X
G overnor Walton of Oklahoma may bo impeached
by thi legislature of that . [ . , hlg „ a . tie ^’brother, ond sister,” who ora
office, but he will go down in the history of tnis na
lion as one of its greatest statesmen.
Whether his action in placing the state under
martial law will allay the feeling of unrest which
has been prevalent in that state duringthe
’ remains to be seen,- but there is one thing certain,
Wbas placed the ban of the law on the outrages com-
mitted ,-ind through his efforts many of the criminals
will lie brought to trial and receive punlshmentfor
their violations. Certainly he has made It plain to
the pe ople of his state that so long as he ls governor.
the invisible government will not control the affairs
of thi. I; state. ,, , ,
If Governor Walton has accomplished no more
'than to wrest the government from the hands of the
lawless clement, he has served a purpose and made a
record for the preservation of lnw and order which
will live long after he has passed ® w ®y;
From news reports, the members of the legislature
or a majority of them are members of the Ku Klux.
That being true there is no telling what may result
from the called res: ion of the legislature. . Impeach
ment of Governor Walton seems to be apparent, but
we cannot help but believe that after the members of
the legislature have given the matter serious consider
ation and weighed the great danger to the state which
the governor was called Upon to face, these men will
not allow their personal and political prejudices to
control their actions, but that they will endorse the
action of Governor Walton and pass the measure he
her formulated nrohlbiting the wearing of masks in
labile in that state. Such legislation will have a-
good moral effect on the people in other states and
will be the commencement of a return to safe, sound
land Eane government in Oklahoma.
COMMUNITY DOLLAR DAY SALES
Now that this entire section is prosperous and the
atoms iadened with varied stocks of merchandise, it is
fa opportune time for our merchants, to offer every
inducement to the people in the surrounding coun
ties to dn their trorlinw in Athens. Wo do Hot know
of a better proposition or one that will attract more
attention to bargain seekers than a “Community
Dollar Day Sale” to be inaugurated weekly during
th e fall and winter months. In other cities in this
state these sales have proved wonderfully beneficial
and profitable to the merchants and their customers.
Naturally the shoppers desire to buy the most they
can for their money and by offering such induced
ments the merchants make friends of these people
who become permanent customers and from week to
Sraek and year to year these people will remain cus
tomers.
A three days’ sale of this kind each week would
be a revelation in the business world of this city. It
would revolutionize business and bring more trade
to Athens than any other agency. A dollar day
proposition appeals to people in all cla8ses and sta
tions of life; whether they be rich or poor—they are
all looking for special bargains and in this way our
jncrchants can keep their stores filed for the better
of each week.
j^Hhe Banner-Herald will lend its every facility to
Bake Dollar Day in Athens a success and all co-op
eration possible will be given to the merchants to
make of these occasions profitable and permanent
M^airs throughout the year.
As an experiment let us try it for a week. Tried
once, it is bound to satisfy and become one of the com-
ercial features of the city and one of the greatest
drawing cards yet inaugurated.

EARLY TRAINING
‘Train up * chiiil In the way h* should go
r f*nd when he Is old, he will not depart
from 1L M —1’rov. 22 :G.
When did you first learn the principles of a Christian
Life ? Should a child be compelled to grope its way
through darkness seeking a just life ? When a child
is learning to write, it is extremely hard io hold the pen
and to write properly; and this is because of the child’s
ignorance of the art of writing, which can 'only be dis
pelled by persistent effort and practice until, at last,
it becomes natural and easy to hold the pen properly
and to write correctly. Do you know what influences
are at work on your child from outside sources which
are giving it the wrong ideas or suggestions of life ?
Do you know what seeds are being sown which will
bring forth their fruit later on ? The church offers to
train your children in the principles of life and their
mission in this world, and supports them in their ef
forts to carry out these principles.
Start your children to church early in their lives
that they may be properly instructed and fortified for
the trials and temptations of life.
Select a Church and then Support It
By Your Attendance

L. Dennla Penny, solicitor of
the city court, is proving a
most popular official and dis
charging the duties of that of

One of the older members of the
bar In speaking of the solicitar,
said: “Penny is'a good lawyer—
he sees every ankle of a case and
his analysis of the points are always
sound and clear to both judge and
Jury." That expreslsion indicates
the esteem in which ihe Is held by
the members of the bar, and It is
safe to predict that his services
to the county and state will be of
the most satlsfacory character. He
is a hard worker and conscientious
official and' a man who will do his
duty on any and all occasions.

BRUDBERRY IS
NEW SCOUTMASTER
Jw. Lee Bradberry has been apL
[polted Scoutmaster of Troop No.
2 to succeed Wm. T. Ray, resigned.
■At a meeting last Friday even
ing Scout Executive E. P. Clark
jpresented a Harding streamer to
[tails troop, which was accepted in
I appropriate talk by Mr. Ray. I
Th* streamer waa won by the troop
while Mr. Ray was Scoutmaster in
(the anniversary round-up. These
streamers were given by the late I
■President Harding to any troop
that met the conditions laid down I
by National Headquarters in the
round-up campaign, which closed
August 2nd.
Mr. Bradberry accepted the posi
tion ot Scoutmaster to which he
had been appointed, and will enter
at once upon the duties of hfs of
fice. He made a talk to the boys
expressing his interest In Scout
work and promised his earnest ef
forts in behalf of Troop No. 2.
Quite a number of Scouts were
present and were ready, to give
their new Scoutmaster their hearty
support.
The Scout Executive wishes to
exprexg his deep appreciation of
the splendid services rendered by
Mr. Ray while he was Scoutmaster
And for tho excellent co-operation
he. gave the Executive and all oth
er Scout officials connected with
the movement. The boys give up
Mr. Ray with a great deal of re
luctance.
Mr. Ray would not have given
pj tho Scout work, but having en
tered the law school of the Uni
versity of Georgia) ho felt that he
just could not do justice to the
Scouts nor to himself If he con
tinued In the capacity of Scout
master.
In addition to Troop No. 2, there
were two other Athens troops that
won the Harding streamer. Those
troops were Troop No. 1, with J.
L. Sexton, S. M., and Troop No.
11, with L. O. Ziegler, S. M. Tho
Scout Executive presented the
streamers to these two troops two
three weeks ago. They were
much appreciated by the 1 troops
and will be kept for years to come.
The local Council was among
the number of councils throughout
the United States that did suffi
cient work to wih a Harding
streamer.
Consider Plan to oason J
Plant Pecan Trees
On State Highways
ATLANTA, Gn—Georglt>'M*Wny
officials are Interested in the dis
cussion now being carried on by
several south Georgia dally news
papers relative to a proposal of The
Moultrie Observer that pecan trees
be planted along state ropdr.
“Pecan trees do qot need to b«
cultivated after they have reached
a certain age," The Observer says
“They get their support from low
down In the earth—too deep eul.
tivate. Look aboi^t you anywhere
and you will see trees doing well
in places where they are not cul
tivated. Onlye young trees need
to be cultivated.’®
The Observer takes tho i portion
that if its suggestion Is carried
out. the beauty of Georgia*hIghwayt
will be greatly increased in a prac
tical and beneficial way.”
