This improvement is one of the m6st needed in the community and from time immemorial it has,been looked upon as the next paving which the city officials should inaugurate, but for various reasons and conditions the project was postponed. Now that an opportunity is given to the people to vote bonds for this purpose there is no doubt as to the result being overwhelmingly In favor of the bonds. This improvement will relieve the dangerous con gested sections on Milledge avenue, Hill street, Prince avenue, Dougherty and Pulaski streets. All traffic south, of Broad street will, after the improvement has gcen completed, use Broad street to enter the business district of the city. Traffic originating nortlj of Broad street on Milledge avenue will use Milledge avenue, Hill street. Prince avehue, Dough erty <and Pulaski streets to enter the business dis- trict'of the city. 1 It is an improvement which will appeal to all classes and give to the people from Oconee, Greene, .Morgan and Walton counties an nvenue which will be relieved greatly from the present congested traf fic condition entering the business sections of the ei.ty.“ Besides it will develop property and enhance its value which will bring an increased income to the Sty that will more than pay the required amount to the sinking fund for the retirement of these bonds when they become due. The mayor and council have acted wisely in com plying with the desires of the masses in authorizing the election by submitting the bond issue to a vote of the people. • \ i WHICH SHALL IT BE? From thne to time the Banner-Herald has urged the farmer and cotton grower to reduce the cotton uoreitgo. This year has demonstrated the logic in this argument in that the price of cotton is holding up to around thirty cents a pound, and we believe that before Christmas it will even go higher. But, if the farmer and cotton grower lose sjght of the im portance of reducing the acreage rather than increas ing it, cotton is bound to go Gown in price. Unfav orable- weather conditions, during the early part of the season, and the boll weevil, aided in reducing the amount of cotton this year which is responsible for thirty cent cotton at this time. An over pro duction would have meant a less price and a loss to every producer of cotton. Here is an article from the Manufacturers Record which is worth reading and considering. It says: A 15,000,000 bale cotton crop at 10 cents per pound, would sell for $750,000,000. A 12,000,000 bale cotton crop at 20 cents per pound, would bring the farmers $1,200,000,000. Or u 1,500,000 bnle crop which wo will probably have this season at 30 cents a pound, would bring $1,575,000,000. Why should the South lose $800,000,900 or more a year by raising more cotton than it can sell at a profit? An extra 5,000,000 bales would mean the cost of cultivating, picking, ginning and transporta tion and then reduce the price so as to bring the IfArmers less than half the price for the smaller crop, "v Every acre thus foolishly planted in cotton in ex cess of the world’s need is an economical loss to the South and to the individual planters. By reason of the destructive work -of the boil ■weevil in cutting short the yield, this year’s crop will probably bring in the neighborhood of $1,600,000,- OOO; whereas if we had no weevil, the acreage in cotton might have given us a much larger crop "liich would have sold for at least $600,000,000 less than the smaller crop will bring. Kill the boll weevil? Certainly, but let the boll weevil teach us a les- n that never again will the South plant a larger ireage than is justified by the world’s readiness to pay a fair price for cotton. [A ! Hie Editor of The Record is sound in thought and hi.s advice is worth considering and following. When ever there becomes an over production of cotton the ! price is as sure to fall as night is to change into dav. i The world’s consumption is fixed and when that Iim- ' it is reached, cotton becomes a drug on the market f just as any other commodity and the price is gov- *’ erned accordingly. It is purely a business proposi- J tion and must be treated with as such. ! -vui tha; L * m IWTcr to*?" c^O 7C1 3\ wo E3 £ —= Berlon Braley’s Daily Poems DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

His, name was Miller Willis, and he will bo re membered by hundreds of the old er citizens in this city. He was b i evangelist, but not of the ordinary type. He carried tha word of God into all walks of life, but the greater part of ,hi s exhorting wan done on the highways and in the by-ways. With his head turned to one side and with one eye closed irrying with him a stick higher than nis head, he approached every bum in the community and sought their attention and urged them to change the manner in which they were Jiving It was dur ing the days of the bar room reg- Ime in Athens He would walk aruodatcii, and his delight was to down Broad street and the side .p cr f orjn nets cf greatest daring streets on which were located sa- f or h , fo j Ioweni to emulate.

Hz enlisted in the army of the Confederacy in 18C2, and was wound^l in battle ir. both knees. “After his return to Augusta following close of the war, there was not any evidence of his con version. Upon the advice of “Unde Jimmy” Evans, be joined the church—St. Jnmc3’—but it was r.ome little time after this before he was conscioualy pardoned. His agoiiy of soul h#d reached such a scale cf suffering that he felt if deliverance did not speedily come he would die. “It was in this state of mind that one night on Ellis street, about 10 o’clock, he felt that he had arrived ot the parting of the ways. With this conviction unon him he went to on old barn that had been a rendezvous for tho tough crowd with whom he had as sociated, afid as be tells it. *As I threw the gate open that led into the bar.i, down cama the Lord Jesus Into my soul/ “With a loud shoilt of ‘I ve got it!
