DOES EDUCATION REDUCE CRIME
r."~ Commenting on a theory worked out by Prof.
Murchison, of John Hopkins University, showing
that the per ccntagc of educated criminals is equal'
that of the uneducated, the Valdosta Times says;
After three years ot searching inquiry Prof.
, Murchison of John Hopkins University has,
reached ihe conclusion from the statistical ma
terial collated, trained men do wrong in the
• same ratio as the less educated, that more law
yers are serving terms in jail than other profes
sionals, that educated criminals are held for
premeditated, well planned crimes such as for
gery rather than for crimes of violence, that
most of the women of college education now in,
jfj; prison had committed murder, that ministers
rank with doctors and lawyers as offenders
against the law and yet 98 per cent of educated,
criminals are church members,’’ etc. etc.
The professor may be correct in his compilation
of the records* but we are inclined to discredit his
figures as much so as we did the opinion of the fa
mous Dr- Osier, of the same institution, who made
the declaration some years ago that all men ’ over
. forty should be chloroformed. Of course there are
. criminals among the educated class just as there are
among the uneducated, but it is contrary to,all reason
to presume that education and christianty do not
reduce crime and violation of the laws. It would
§ • be better for the country if such theorists would hold
their opinions or findings and not exploit them even
15 to gain personal publicity.

” v ,.... • THE RIGHT WAY TO FARM
• The Thomasvillc Times-Enterprisc says that a far
mer asked them how they would farm and here is
the answer given by that newspaper: J
“Ten acres for pasture and seven cowa for
cream. Hogs for sale every three months, chlck-
■ ens every month. Corn, velvet beans and hay
to feed cows, hogs and chickens. Some spring
truck, a few watermelons, pineapple peurs, pea
nuts and sugar cane. Plenty of feed and food
from the farm and cash crops every mor.t’.:. Can
you beat it?
The forgoing is >■ und advice and if evf.y farmer
will follow it, this, section of the country will soon
, be overflowing with prosperity and better times-
The farmer who raises enough foodstuff to live at
home is independent and owns a bank account
The farmer who lives off of western meat, corn,
wheat and potatoes will always be hard up and press
ed to make a living and will be jn debt to the supply
man and to the banks, that is if he can get credit.
In this day and time of diversifying farming there
is no excuse for any farmer to buy his foodstuff from
tho west He should raise every pound of meat
and every bushel of wheat and corn’ on his own land
and be independent and self sustaining. It can be
j,; done and many of the farmers of this section never
buys a pound of western foodstuff, but live at home
and live off of their own production.
A BOBBIN MILL FOR ATHENS
O Many years ago a bobbin mill was operated suc
cessfully in this city. There is no reason why such
an industry would not prove profitable here at this
time- The products from such a mill could be sold *
throughout the cotton mill belt and at profitable
prices. In the Carolinas there are hundreds of cot-
ton mills besides the mills in this state. Practically
ail of these mills use thousands of bobbins and
there is no reason why Athens could not supply
}/ them. »
-' - - The stock investment for such a mill would be
nominal and employment would be given to many op.
P erators and laborers. Such a project is worth consid
ering on the part of those who have money to invest
which will prove a safe and dividend paying indus-
P- .
1/ ’ Many cities throughout the country are raising
>» funds for advertising the municipalities’ resources
? and advantages of all kmds. It is just as important
for a municipality to advertise for home seekers, in
vestors, commercial, manufacturing and educational
advantages as it is for a merchant to advertise his
wares. Publicity builds cities and communities where
all other agencies fail. Athens \?ould do well to ad
vertise her many advantages throughout the nation.
No city in the country’ possesses more attraction for
the home seeker and investor than does Athens.
The two Carolinas made record breaking crops of
tobacco this year.

By Berton Braley
In absence of loquacity
Some people find sagacity.
They think the silent person is
a bird
With wisdom of immensity
Because of his propensity
To sit and think and never say a

Behind that quiet front of him
And in each nod and grunt of
him
.They fancy there i» knowledge
erudite.
And now and then you find it’s
true
He has n clever mind, It'a true,
And those who think him
wise have got it right!
But alienee oft hae back of it
Not thought—hut utter leek of

That ponderous appearance la a

That Jovian Impassivity
Hides mehtal inactivity.
There's nothing going back

Can dope it out to kid you all.

For Yourself—;
M ANY people who drink coffee
regularly are troubled with in
somnia; or they feel nervous, “head
achy,” or suffer from indigestion. *
It may be hard for such men and
women to believe that coffee is respon
sible for the way they feel. Because
they have always drunk coffee, it
hardly seems possible that this old
habit could cause trouble.
But there is one sure way to find
out whether coffee is harming you.
Just stop its use for a week or so, and
drink Postum.
- Postum is a pure cereal beverage—
absolutely free from caffeine, the drug
in coffee, which disturbs the health
and comfort of many.
After a week or two on Postum,
you will sleep better and feel better;
then your own good judgment should
decide whether you go back to coffee
or continue on the Road to Wellville
with Postum.

The quail season opened
Tuesday and hundreds of hunt-
era and near hunters were on
the whr path for the speckled
bird, vlhiehjs the prixe of all hurtt-
ers. A hunter who chn bag a
dozen or so is a lucky as well as
a happy man. It takes a lot of
walking and good markraanship
to wing these fast flying birds.
Many a shell and shot and many
a mile is walked for the pleasure
of bagging a gpodly number of, the
much sought quail.'If you fail to

Athens is blessed with good
hotels and the service render*
ed Is the bent In the country.
However, there are some ho-
tels in some stations of the coun*
try which are not up to the stand
ard. . The Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin has the following onec*
dote on a hotel, which no doubt,
occurred: —
Tha manager of a local hotel,
recalling his novitiate as clerk
employed in n country wayside
house, relates that one morning a
guest came downstairs and com
plained to the proprietor that he
lad not slept at all.
“I was troubled with insomnia,”
he said. .
Doh t believe a durn word ot
it,” said the indignant host. "Had
the place cleaned out only this
spring.' Show me one. if you can!
Show me one!”
The announcement that Dr.
Campbell Morgan will not
IraVc Athens will be a source
of much pleasure to his many
friends and admirers here. Since
locating in Athens, * Dr. Morgan
and his family have made" many
friends and their departure would
mean a great loss to the entire
community. His presence here and
his association in religious move
ments have benefited and profited
many. He is an able and consci-
entious divine and one who is do
ing a great and noble work in the
cause of Christ.
“Give ’Em Hell Georgia.”
the battle cry of the support-
era of the Georgia football
team aroused criticism from
some of the Columbus people
when Georgia and Auburn played
their annual game in that city..
We do not believe that the Co-
lumbus people as a whole endorse
any such criticism, but that Jhe
criticism came from a few who
are without -red blood, life or
spirit Dr. Andrew M. Soule, ad
dressing the Kiwanis club, of Au
gusta. is quoted as having said,
which we heartily endorse, the fol
lowing:
“A young fellow came to me re
cently and in a very serious meio
told mo that he had received a
petition from some organization
in Columbus asking that the Geor
gia supporters not use the war-
cry, 'Give ’Em Hell Georgia!’ I
asked him what t'.ey were going
to do about it He. told me the;
* going to yell, ’Chastise ’Em,
Georgia!’
“If the worid Is cQmlng to this,
we might as well put .the football
I team in skirts, and quit.
“I don’t want to, see a team of
molly-coddles. When they yell.
‘Give ’Em Hell, Georgia!' they
don’t mean to send the team
there; they mean to hit the cen
ter of the line and crash through
for a touchdown. They mean,
•Give ’Em Hell!’ It’s the greatest
spirit in the world—hit that fellow
so hard that he cringes and gives
a little, and get the real Joy
oi living.”
