JAIL CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA
From investigation of over 100 counties in this
state, it has been charged that there are quite a num
ber of the jails in an inadequate condition and in some
instances thoroughly unsanitary and unfit .to confine
men and women in. It was also developed that in a
number of the counties no provision was made for the
separation of the races or sexes, It is deplorable that
such a condition should exist : a any county in Geor
gia. It is inexcusable on the part of the official^, and
the grand juries of these counties should indict those
charged with the responsibility of conduct of the
courthouses and jails. It is bad enough to have jails
where the races are not separated, but to imprison
both men and women, negroes and whites, without
some degree of decency, is nothing short of criminal
and the sheriff or whoever may be the proper au
thorities should suffer the penalty of such conduct.
It is hoped that the report sent out by a state or
ganization alleging this condition to be true is 'exag
gerated. It does not seem possible that any county in
this state would submit to any such condition and that
proper provision would be made to separate the sexes,
if not the races.
The state authorities should follow up this report
and cause it to be investigated thoroughly, and then
if it is found to be correct—action should be, taken
which would prevent a like occurrence. We believe
that Governor Walker will not allow this charge to
go by unnoticed, but that he will see to it than an ex
haustive investigation is carried on and the truth of
tho condition made knowr to the public and legal
action commenced through which the parties respon
sible may be reached and punished.
“DOLLAR DAY” SALES FEATURE
The merchants in all lines are preparing for the
biggest bargains they have ever offered to the trade
in this city and section for Saturday, November 3, the
{^opening day for “Trade Month.”
Through the Banner-Herald on Thursday, prac
tically every business concern that ia if member of the
horganization of “Trade Month,” will announce the
■' nhany bargains which they propose to put on sale for
Saturday. It will be a harvest for the purchasers.
Every lino of business will have something which they
will mark down to rock bottom prices and give the
consumer the opportunity of getting something cheap
for his money. If will be a sale of profit to the buyer. _
A dollar will buy more merchandise on that day than'
it, has over bought before and possibly more than it
ever will again.
The movement inaugurated by the merchants is for
the benefit of the public as well as for the merchants.
Goods will bo priced at extrmoly low figures and
every purchaser during the month of the sales will be
; profited. Besides there will be handsome premiums,
. gold picea given away each week, and at the close of
th month,‘twenty-one hundred dollars in premiums
will lie distributed to those who have done their
trading In Athens.
i With thb prosperous conditions the people are bet
tor able to buy this year than they have been since
before the war. There hss been a sort of “buyers’
strike/’ but timos have changed and the peo'plo feel
that liieir needs must be supplied and now that they
are prepared to fill these needs, every lino' of busi
ness will enjoy trade they hove not beeh receiving
lie-ring the depression. * *
i; “Dollar Day" will find tho windows filled with
display;! of goods and*the stores stocked in the fullest
to mut t every want and need of tho buying public.
Beside , remember there will be bargains in all lines
regardless of tho “Dollar Day” feature.
those who are not are offering
special bargaisn which is a great
inducement for the out-of-town
reople to visit Athens on that
day. Each week premiums will
be given away and at the close of
the month, the major prcraulma
will be awarded.

Tlnro has never been a brighter sign for prosperity
thai, in now dawning upon us. The seasons this year
have been ideal and the planter has enjoyed a per
fect planting and harvesting time. Foodstuff has been
raised in nbundnncc and an unusual crop of cotton
has been made to the acreage. Hogs, cattle and
poultry are plentiful and the cribs and hay stacks are
loaded with the best corn, oats and hay this section
has ever produced. All in all, tho people of this sec
tion have something to be thankful for and an era of
better times is now upon us.
- Burners conditions are growing stable; the banks
have the largest deposits they have carried in years;

greater part ,of the trade is now on a cash basis. It is
A’general revival in all ines of commerce and the day
of depression has passed. We are facing a new con-
dition which is bound to prove one of substantial
proportions and one which will be lasting in effect and
prosperous in Its function? A better feeling, a feeling
of confidence is prevailing throughout the land which
has in a great measure restored that confidence that
has been waning during the war period apd the period
Lrf depression following the closing of hostilities.

The country self-sustaining and with all the agencies
working to one end and for one cause this section
will be blessed with a prosperity far more than it has
in the years past.
The sign of the times is encouraging; it is our mak

lerous and we will enjoy a full recovery from the
epressing period of the past three years.
