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. ATHENS TWELVE YEARS AGO Tueaday, October 31, 1911. Cotton: 9 to 9 1-8 cents. Weather: Fair.

For many years this drew has sintered in Macon and the Sparks ,#ri -t THE SIGN OF THE TIMES 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; tiic merchants are enjoying an unusual trade and the 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. Bit is. now a mater of co-operation among the citizens V -1 business men. The products are here to make 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 ing and if wo do our part our section will be pros- lerous and we will enjoy a full recovery from the epressing period of the past three years.

There has been some talk In certain sections of the state favoring a post-season game between Georgia and Tech. How much there is in the rumor, wo <:o not know, but we do know that so far as we are concerned, it is our hope that the officials or thoft.? in authority, v/ill see to it that no such game is arranged. It is inopportune and ill-advised to attempt to resurrect a sentiment in-favor of re-establishing athletic rotations at this time. It is best fof the student body and it is best foe tho institutions to 1 continue free from athletic relations in any form, baseball, basketball or foot ball, Wo hope the matter will not be pressed by the enthusiasts or by those who arc seeking the ben efits for charitable or patriotic put poses. It is unwise and would prove unfortunate if speh an ar ranjement was reached; On Thursday and Friday, Nov ltif. and 2nd will bo presented al the Palace “Strangers of the Night*' a Metro picture.

We notice that canning plants are being built over Oeorgln, nnd they pay handsomely. An up-to- date canning factory 1s one of the crying needs of Athens.
