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. ft : ” 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.

Captain Kling has just publ'rhmt an account of his experiences on the llttl* island, which lies 3800 miles off the Chilean coast.

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. y Sold by grocers everywhere! for Health *There*s a Reason’ Your gracer arils poxua to two form*; Instant IWum (to dm) prepared famandy iu tha cup by tha addition of boiling water.

Circus day and Santa Claus time are two great event* In the lives of the average child which live long into years of after life. And to think that a|l such days for the older foJks hav passed forever more. 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 find the man you ore looking for today, in hfe office or place of business, it v is a two to one bet that he is in somebody’s field seekihg a chance to*wing the most edible bird we have. - 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.” ATHENS TWELVE YEARS AGO Tuesday, November 21, 1911 Cotton: 9 1*4 cents.
