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 No War For Him, Let’s Hope Around Athens With CiL T. Uny Gantt University “Y” Aids S. S. Here 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- Berton Braley’s 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.

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. Hon. George P. Rainey, of Tampa, Fla., a brother-in-law of Mr. J. m. Lamar, of this city,' was hero Saturday in at tendance on tho Georgla-Virgin/a football game. ittol. Rainey has a son playing on th'j Virginia team which, of course, gave him much concern and Interest In the out come. Col. Rainey la an alumnui of the University of Vlrgin'a, so was his father and now his son is following in the footsteps of the fathers and will be aJi alumnus of this great Institution. , We have talked with parties in attendance of the Federal court from all the counties In this sec tion. From them we gather that In the counties above Athens cot ton is turning out much better than expected and about-enough rtod stuff will be raised to sup ply the tamers. Some must buy imported flour. But news from the counties below the Georgia road is not so encouraging. The exodus of negroes has about left the farms stripped of labor and not one half the land la cultivated. But 'thfise farmers are turning their attention to cattle, chicken? and other crops than the staphs and the country is forging to the front. again. Wilkes is making better progress than any lowei county we hav^ heard from. It takes a long lime to psoduci a shade tree, and our timber is being rapidly destroyed. For the purpose of arousing an interest In trees, every man, woman nnd child In the United States will be askrd to vote which of the many trees native to the United State? is hlfi or her favorite.

Judge G. H. Howard says he has never thought of becoming a can didate against Judge R. B. Bus s«JI for 8uqreme Justice and there Is no t ruth In the report the? he would be in the race. The proprietor of our 'Army Goods says it will take Uncle Sam at least five more years to unload the goods va purcliared during World War, and which are now hard stock on the hands pf the Rovernrmnt. The moat wasteful and needless extravagance Is* be ing brought to light about the conduct of the war.
