PROFIT SHARING CAMPAIGN SUCCESS
The profit sharing campaign inaugurated by the
merchants of Athens proved a wonderful success yes
terday, the opening day. Crowds from this entire
soction thronged the stores and from the early hour
' pf opening until the closing hour the clerks were taxed
to. the their utmost capacity to wait on the many
customers seeking the rare bargains which had been
offered by the various firms who are interested in
the trade campaign.
.Many of the stores offered special "Dollar Day”
bargains while others offered special bargain sales on
their entire stock. These inducements, as announced
in Die Banner-Herald Thursday, had reached the peo
ple throughout Athens trade territory and they were
here in largo numbers. It was convincing and an ab
solute certainty that when our merchants co-operate
and join in a movement success will be' attained.
The sidewalks and Htores presented the appearance
of a circus day crowd, the difference being that those
here were looking for bargains instead of .the parade.
The bargains were here for them and everyone who
in ado purchases expressd themselves as satisfied with.
their purchases and indicated that they would be
hero next week for the special bargain day sales.
Thousands of dollars from this section floated into
ihe tills of the Athens merchants and one of the big
gest sales days ever held in this city marked the open
ing of .the first day of profit sharing sales to be held
in Athens during the month of November.
Now that the firef day has proved such a success, '
let us try to make the second week a record breaker.
It enu be done and larger sales made than those of
Saturday- The merchants have the stocks and the
people have more money this year than during any
year since the closing of hostilities. Keep up the bar
gain day sales and the profit sharing trade month will
prove to be the largest month’s business this city has
ever experienced.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR 1924
- In all sections of the state there seems to be a spirit
of optimism prevailing and a feeling of co-operation
which will extend over the entire state with the bank
ers, merchants and farmers hand-in-hand for better
limes and bigger crops another year.
The Tifton Gazette in speaking of the relation be
tween the farmer and banker’in that section has the
following to suy of a movement inauguatred by the
banks of Terrell county:
"The banks of Terrell county took a page in the
last issue of the Dawson News to boost the farm plan
adopted at a county-wide mass meeting last week,
ami to urge the farmers to get rid of their cotton
stalks, and the Eooner-they get rid of them the bet
ter. The banks also -pointed out that, although the
total of hard luck, bad weather and other things to
get back farm work this year was enough to dis
courage them, the majority still had their homes and
health, family, friends, churches, schools and climate
and one of the greatest agricultural spots on earth,
and it is up to them to remedy their condition and
suggested the remedy in the farm plan adopted, and
'offering their co-operation. It is going to take this
kind of co-operation between town and country to
■pull the farmers through this year and make them seo
that; they are not beaten, and to encourage them to
a new start for the new 'year, with faith in their God
and in the resources of this country which have been
barely scratched, and coiftidencc in the fact that
their friends in the towns will do all in their power
' to help them through a temporary setback."
If the proposition is good for the communities in
South Georgia, such a proposition will be good for
I the communities in this section of the state. Such a
t-Tiirii. however, has prevailed here and no section of
the state can boast of fetter and more harmonious
co-operation with the farmers than has our banks
' here. It has long since been realized that without
'co-operation between farmers, merchants and bank
«*rs little could be accomplished for the upbuilding of
the community and for the increasing of wealth and
j.-^*?ab!e and condition*. Thi* section is en
joying an era of prosperity and another year ia bound
i" bring forth times of plenty, confidence restored and
a reunited agricultural, banking and commercial in

Our public school system is developing the mind of the
child along educational lines, but it is impossible for
the public school system with its multitudinous de
mands to emphasize to any great extent the develop
ment of character in the individual child. It very often
happens that we depend too much upon our school
system and neglect, in the child, the more essential
problems which are the foundation of his existence.

for a good trade next year.

n living. They adopted the “cow, hog and hen”
program long before Turner county had ever heard
of it. Commenting on one phase of the show that
is worthy of a little reflection, the Moultrie Observ
er says: “N'i.o will come to the show? Not the
pleasure hunter. There will not be noise enough for
him. Not the fern’s wheel rider and the baby doll
gambler. The racp track devotees will be absent-
Those who come will probably be those who want to

The teaching of the fundamental principles of right
living must come from the home or -the church. The
public schools cannot accept this responsibility. The
duty of any parent is to instruct the child in the way he
should go and point out to him the principles which
should gu^de him through life. The home, stimulated
and elevated by church affiliatiqn", gives the* parents
the means to guide the child in the way he should go.
Qur public school system must be backed up by the
/■'Church influence through the home in order to com-
r Plete a child’s education.
