IS GERMANY BANKRUPT? 1- prom reports of conditions existing in Germany it is unbelievable that that country is in such a tleplor- bie financial condition as the Germans would, have the rest of the world believe. While the price of marks have gone down to a pittance, yet that country is making large purchases of cotton and copper from America besides food stuff and other raw ma terials. In August over a half million bales of cot ton was shipped from this country and 108,000,000 pounds of copper. The industries in that country are all thriving and turning *ut unusually large amounts of products which are being sold to other nations, principally America, and with all that, the country is crying poverty and unable to pay France that which she owes. The German people are the most resourceful of all nations; they have the most fertile agricultural country in the world and their recovery from the losses brought on by the world war should not be of long duration. There is something wrong somewhere in the pover ty cry and we do not believe that there is much ex cuse for the claims which are being broadcasted by the German government. It is-true that Germany has assessed a heavy tax on its citizenship, but it is also a question as to whether this increased tax ation on its citizens is being collected. Before wo go too far in our sympathies, brought on by the appeal of these people of being poverty stricken, let us investigate and analyze the true con dition which they are facing and weigh every angle of tho claim before we open our hearts and pocket- books and aid an undeserving cause. COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY The Presbyterian Synod of South Carolina has de-. tided to move the seminary from Columbia to some • other point within the boundaries of Georgia, Ala bama, Florida and South Carolina. At a recent meet ing of the Synod such action was decided upon by a vote of 100 to 43. Athens is the logical point at which to locate the seminary and every,advantage for such an institution is possessed by this city. Here is located the mother- educational institution of the state—the University of Georgia; the State College of Agricultural;.the State Normal School and the Lucy Cobb Institute. Athens is the greatest educational center in the south, its climate and surroundings offer every ideal for a theological institution. The various institutions here would be a help to the proposed Theological Seminary and every co operation possible would be extonded by those in authority at the state institutions. 'The matter should be brought to the attention of the Synod and the claims of Athens presented by those interested in educational institutions as well as the city and county officias and the citizenship in general.' FROM GRAYSON TO STONE MOUNTAIN Now that Stone Mountain has been made the mem orial of the Confederate dead, it is hoped that the highway commission of Georgia will see to it that the strip of road from Grayaon to Stone Mountain fa paved and otherwise improved. The distance is only seventeen miles and with this connecting link of paved road, the highway would be complete. There Is a splendid highway to Grayson and from Stone Mountain on into Atlanta, but without this improve ment, it is necessary to go to Atlanta and return to Stone Mountain. There are now two splendid high ways to Atlanta, via Winder and Lawrencevllle and via Monroe, but in order for those who desire to see this marvelous development of the mountain, the building of this short strip from Grayson would not only shorten the trip to Stone Mountain, but it would prove a great convenience to sight-seers and those interested in the memprinl to the “lost cause.” ■ There is no doubt but that Gwinnett and Dekalb counties would readily enter into the project with the .State highway commission in the broadening and paving of this short gap which is now in an unkept and deplorable condition. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Grooming himself for another t«y at the presi- \ <i<1»cy on the Democratic ticket, the gentleman from Nebraska—but more recently from his adopted state ' 7—Florida, has given out the information that he is in <1 receptive moode for the nomination next year. We cannot imagine anything more certain for the defeat of the democratic party than would be the nomination of the near-statesman. For years Mr. Bryan has been a liability to the party and three ^ears ago he refused to co-operate and aid in the de feat of the republicans. Now, that his services are ^B|t so much in demnnd and the party is in a position get along without him or his advice, it is inoppor tune for him to be attempting to force himself upon the. party or upon his friends. The people of this nation do not want him for president and we real ly do not believe that the democratic party wants him as a member of the party. Certainly he has served his day ami time and it is now important that the democrats .should put forward their strongest lead er and all factions center on the one man and use their resources in every way to elect him. gatlon would' be (Ought lor by both democrats and republicans. On the Lexington road, just beyond Carr’s branch, is a dangerous curve and for quite a distance there la a sharp lead-off of Beveral feet 8ome pro tection should be placed along the driveway in order to block wild automobiles jumping from thi road'. On either aide of tho Col lego avenue bridge there should be placed protection for the same purpose. These Improvements would not prove expensive and ro'Jld be tho means of saving autos from accidents and their oc cupsnts from possible deaths.

A Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything. By HUGH ROWE. At the annual meeting of the Federation of Women's clubs In Georgia at Rome last week, "My Georgia Land” was adopt ed as the official song of tbo fed eration. Since the author is a~cesl- dent of tit's city, Mr. • Hugh L. Hodgson, the action of tho federa tion Is of more than ordinary In terest to the pooplo of this city. The Rome Tribune-Herald con tained the following comment ott the action of the cfob women: “Hugh Hodgson of Athens who la the composer of the words and music of the song deserves all the credit |n the world for hls'compo> gatlon. It is a song worthy of <?eorgla, beautiful in sentiment, as well as'in music, and the selection, of the song Is but another compli ment to this Georgia composer.” Reckless driving of automo biles la increasing the tolls of death which la being paid by those who item to forget the danger which Is lurking In such conduct. It does-seem that every cjtiien who Is sane would bo euldod by some spirt of consideration for others rather than; endanger the lives of both by trying to pass each other on the highways. Nothing can be gained by such reckless driving; accidents and deaths are bound to come to those who make a practice of speeding and those 1 who h-we an utter disregard for the rights of others on the high- wayn. The tlmo has come when both municipal and state authori ties should see to it' that the or dinances and the laws are strictly enforced and that .the violators are punished In keeping wtth the crime. Automobiles have long since grown to be necessities; they have replaced the horse and the mule; a driver of a horse or a mule would never have thought of foro’ng the animal to run at break-neck speed over the streets of the city and the roads of the county-—yet they will drive an automobile at full speed without tho least regard for pe- rians or other drivers of auto- les.
