A DAY OF SACRED RECOLLECTIONS
Five years ago the Armistice was signed and hos
tilities ceased. The world sighed and a restful wave
I spread over the universe. It was the beginning of a
new era and a rebuilding of nations torn asunder by
the ravages of war. Peace now reigns throughout
'. America and the period of depression brought on by
pthe world war is fast vanishing and a brighter day
is dawning upon us. Determined and courageous
onr boys returned from overseas fresh from the
greatest victory the world has ever known, to build
a greater America. To them is due the making of a
new nation and how well they may succeed is being
demonstrated daily since their return.
On this, the most important day of the calendar of
the nation, let us show to them in a fitting and ap
propriate manner our appreciation of their deeds of
valor and do honor to those who gave their lives
for the protcition of their country and of their homes.
Armistice Day—the day we celebrate with prayer
and offerings of devotion and loyalty to our boys
and to our nation and to a Greater Being who directs
all things for the best! f

WE MUST SHOW OUl^ FAITH
If the south expects to grow and take its place
along with other sections of the nation, our people
must show their faith in our opportunities and re
sources by developing our agricultural resources
-and building industrial and manufacturing plants.
The south has more wealth and more unimproved
and undeveloped resources than any other section
' the nation: It is in its infancy, commercially, and
^‘opportunities for a great revival and development
all lines is lying idle waiting for .some one to take
Id and develop the resources which are so boun-
ul and rich with all products of commercial value.
If we continue to wait for northern capital to
in and enter our agricultural and manufacture
fields we can not hope for much gain. We must
show to the world that we have faith and con-
ice in our resources and opportunities to develop
then it will be found that investors and home-
kers from all sections of the nation will flock to
is section.
Georgia'is the richest state in the south in agricul-
ral and industrial lines. It only needs to be de-
eloped and improved. If our people will awaken to
Ujf vast opportunities lying idle In this state, and
' c hold themselves rather than wait for outsiders,
will not only profit, but our efforts will have
the influence of bringing new comers and develop
ers to aid us in the great work which is here to be
done. First, we must have confidence o-.iraelves
and show that faith by doing some'.' '.'.g. Cotton
jnills and other manufacturing interests seek that
cction of the country which has done something
uni whose citizens are alive to every interest and to
ivory movement for the building and developing of
he community. The leading enterprises of the south
nd of this state were founded and . operated by
nen of the local communities. A broadening of the
ioM ni' agricultural and industries rests with our na-
i .r prnple and the sooner they realize it, the sooner
ill tin section of the nation become one of the rich-
,-t and most important of all.
Organize with home capital and build and de-
elop imme organizations- It can be done and the
•,uth made the garden of prosperity in the nation.

NORTH CAROLINA IN THE LEAD
During the past four months, North Carolina has
cen spending $2,000,000 a month in building high-
rays. That state has set the pace for other states in
pad building. ,It is developing a country which is
proving a great asset to the state and a great con-
oniencc to not only the people of North Carolina, but
o the large element who use the highways from one
•late to another all over the union. It gives to the
farmer and producer a roadway which enables him
i get to market with larger loads and to reach the
arkets with less expense. It encourages the build
ing of school h'ouseB and churches and helps to mould
mill build the characters of its citizenship. Besides
he North Carolina legislature appropriates more
nouey for higher education than any other southern
The people of that commonwealth realize
iut if they are to keep in the lead and build and
evelop their resources they must build better high-
™ys and spend more money for education. They
ive adopted the right plan and a plat! which will
Ace that state in the forefront and will keep it in
le limelight of progress and development. Georgia
muld sit up and take notice of what is being ac-
implished in North Carolina and a campaign of en-
arged highway building and appropriations of in-
reased funds should be made to every educational
stitution in the state, especially to the higher edu-
itional institutions. It is a shame on the state, the
eafily appropriationsnow being made to Georgia’s
alleges and universities. Every institution in the
slate is on the brink of starvation and unless the
ttpetept session of the legislature passes some tax
rin anin' which will give to Georgia a reasonable
inis,me. little can be expected for its advancement
kn l growth. Let us adopt the North Carolina plan of
l»i ini' s and work to the end of better highways and
'«■ more money for the institutions of higher educa-

Daily Poems
80LDIERS OF PEACE
The men who fought our Hatties,
Who did the work of war
They have not yet forgotten
What they were fighting for.
The Statesmen and the Diplomats
Conduct things as they may,
Mut the Men who fought the bat
tles
Will have the final say.
The Men who fought our battles,
French, Latin, English. Yar.k,
The common ordinary lads
Of plain Buck-Private rank—
The boys who faced the Hell of U
And know wb»t battles cost
Will npt stand meekly by and see
Their mighty labors lost
The Men who fought our battles
And watched their Buddies dlo
Will see the dead died not In vain,
Of know the reason why;
And though the world Is torn and
With suffering athrob,
The Men who fought our battles
Are still upon tbg Job.
%
And though Peace is s lonaer task.
They'll surely see It through,
Till all the dreams for which they
fought
Shall finally come true.
The spirit that was In their hearts
Has neither changed nor passed.
And the Men who fought the bat
tles
Mi'H win the Peace at last
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

Mr. 8. Bernstein, president
of the American 8tate Bank.
Broad Street Office, is always
on the bullish side of the cot
ton market. He Is a large land
owner and lias a number of farms
in this section of the state from
which he receives considerable
cotton as rents. He has not sold a
bale of this cotton during the past
three years and oven at the pres
ent price he Is holes'ng for a high
er one. Mr. Bernstein predicts a
cotton famine throughout the
world and that cotton will be sell
ing for forty cents tho pound be
fore planting* time. Banker Bern
stein has the reputation In com
mercial circles of seeing ahead
which has been proven by his suc
cess In bug'ness. He is one of the
largest real estate owners In Ath
ens a.id one of the most success
ful bankers. He may ho right '.bout
he price of cotton—who knows—
you can never tell what the cot
ton market will do. Wo hope that
he is correct in his predictions.

not so encouraging. The exodus
