Thoughts For The Day Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea—Mark 9:42. Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside gf itself; it only requires opportunity.— George Eliot. BROAD STREET BOND MEETING TONIGHT The Chamber of Commerce has called a mass meet ing of the Citizens of Athens to meet at the city hall tonight #at half after eight o’clock to organize and commence the bend campaign for the election which is to be>held on December 6th. The project is one of the mojt important this city has taken hold of In many years and every voter in the city should lend his aid in helping to secure the required number of votes tq‘ authorize the issuance of the proposed bonds. ; Tho meeting is to be held tonight at the city hall. Show yfiur interest in bonds and progress by your presence. . DO IT AND DO IT THIS WEEK The Members of the Georgia legislature have been bickeriilg and prognosticating for practically three weeks over the passage of some tax legislation which will relfeve the state of its embarassed financial con- j dition. • So far the purpose of the special session has not mod that requirement which was expected of it by the ^ax payers of the state. Governor Walker has done his part towards brin ging about a reconciliation of all fictions and harmonizing the views of the va rious members "who desire certain measures to meet and fitithoir own ideas, but so far to no avail of any material culmination. This week will carry the legis lature into its fourth week of deliberations without accomplishing an end. If the members of the legis lature would lay asjde their personal ambitions and follow the plans as outlined by the governor, a safe and sane tax measure could have been passed and that body of lawmakers and salary drawers could have adjourned- The public is not in sympathy with any such delays and side-stepping on the part of the members in order that the session may be prolonged, and finally wind up without the desired legislation which the state is in dire need. Governor Walker has planned in every conceivable manner to satisfy all elements concerned and he has even given up some of his own views and desires in order to meet the demands being made i>y some of those who ure seeking publicity as much aa they are the passage sf a tax measure, but who are devoting their eforts more to the personal interest side of the question than that of the best interest of th.e taxpay ers and of the stfite. Unless that spirit is entirely eliminated, the legislature will adjourn without hav- aiyenmnllahoA tk® nll.lmnnrlftnt orp»flnn nf ft tax measure which has been expected of them. With our further delay the members should "come to the point" and agree on a measure wh!c|i will meet the needs of the state—adjourn and return to their homes jmd stop the bleeding of the treasury for which they aip not giving anything in return. ' IT IS GREAT TO BE A FARMER Tho Moultrie Observer sets up a number of rea sons for it being great to be a farmer. It says: Nobody helps the editor. He has to weed his own row. There is advice for the. farmer, but the editor only'gets criticism. Demonstrators are sent to help the farmer de velop new ways and better ways of making a living. The editor has to buy his own trade pa per;: and better methods. The farmer is helped by the government to gB borrow money at a low rate of interest. The edi tor has to put up security and pay the limit He is nq favorite when it comes to borrowing. The government runs special colleges and ex periment stations to ascertain what it is best for the farmer to do and not to do, but the editor has to make his own experiments and lose when he »kbs a mistake. .The states and federal government spend illions on marketing agencies for the farmer., he, no wens per man has to sell his own papers ; n andiadvertising, the government even putting extra postage on his wares. • The Legislature is busy trying to fix things so (he farmer will have to pay less taxes, but the ncv(ipapers have to pay ad valorem, corporation taxes and special professional taxes, hnd they are taxed (in Moultrie) for doing business, as if they were a sort of nuisance like a bar room or pool room. They are almost exempt from income taxes. ^ VT'Ih must be great to be a farmer and feel that your country has such an interest in you. > . Come to think about the matter, the editor does have a hard road to travel, but what ia the use ot complaining. It is all in a life time and the beat we make of it is better for us- We are glad that some class of citizenship is receiving favors from the legislation of the country and, maybe'some day the newspapers will come into their own and be treated with justly as all other public and commer cial enterprises arc—with out discrimination. ■—* Berlon Braley’s Daily Poems NOT 80 WOR8E l dog's life!"

However, the condition has changed and now there are turkeys here on every hand and selling for 35 and 40 rente a pound. They have become so plentiful, commercial concerns! are giving them away ns prem iums on purchases.

We* commend the Idea to the women voters of Augusta.’ It 1* better, more .r.telllgent and Infinitely more effective than putting out wo men candidate* for various of- I ices. Athens is on the *ve of u municipal election with op posing candidates for mayor and aldermen. Here is the way the Women’s Voters league opemies. On the eve of the election the League sends n questionnaire to all the candidates. Their replies or the fact that they failed to reply are published. No candidates are endrsed hut l,v the record before th<m. the \tromen voters make up their minds and cast their votes. This Is tho questionnaire now being sent out to the municipal candidates In Athens by the Women Voter’s League: 'What Is you attitude to. wards the elimination of ward lines? Would you advocate tho election of aldermen »by the city at large, said aldermen to be chosen Irrespectively of ward lines? Or would you nd- vocale te ‘election of aldermen by the city nt large, retaining tho feature of local renrceenta- tion ns It now exists? ‘Do you advocate the elec, tion of the Board of Education ' by the city nt large?
