WELCOME" TO THE PRESS ASSOCIATION
The-members of the Eighth and Ninth diatrict
press Association will meet iti this city Friday. The
coming of the newspaper folks is an occasion worth
•while to the entire community. These editors are
the representatives of the best interests and citizen
ship irf their respective communities. For all that
is progressive and for the betterment of the state,
civic; morally and religiously, these men and women
givu the best there is in them to advance, ajad . im
prove Jevery condition. A warm welcome from
every [citizen awaits them on their visit to Athens.
The:Manner-Herald extends its greetings and good
wished for a successful meeting and expresses the
hbpe .that every member of the association will
fihd something in the meeting profitable to them
and that these occasions may be held often in this
city where they will find at all times a co-operative
spirit prevailing and a cordial welcome.
y A BUILDING FOR BASKETBALL
Baqfcetball has grown to be ono of the leading
spurts in college athletics, yet there is not a build
ing in. the, city of adequate proportions to accommo
date the crowds who patronizo those games.
Tho'baskctball season can bo made as profitable to
the cdjnmcrcial interests of the city as is the baseball
season-. Crowds from this entire section attend the
basketball games and there is as much interest and
enthusiasm shown as there-is in football. The-time
ha* come when some provision must bo made to ac
commodate the patronage given to the games and to
encourage increased attendance.
it has been suggested that n building be erected
on the property of the University of Georgia with a
seating capacity of at least three thousand. The
building could be constructed reasonably if ail tho
agencies interested would co-operate.-The city could
aid materially by furnishing the stone from Its quarry
and the county officiate could contribute in a great
measure by furnishing some of the labor. With
I«- these two agencies co-operaling it ia believed that
j whatever amount might be needed to complete the
building could be underwritten by citizens, the
amounts subscribed to be paid back annually from
the receipts of tho games. This proposition would
ipsure the return of every dollar subscribed to tho
- underwriters and at tho same time it would give to
Athens an income which would mean much to every
line of business in increased trade.
It ta understood that the matter is, in charge of a
committee which will undertake to work out a feaa-
able plan which will provido a building suitable in
every- way for the holding of games here another
year.. Tho project te worth while and wo believe
that our people will rally to tho suppbrt of such an
enterprise. v
; AMERICAN COTTON KING
There te much being said and written about tho
danger of England, France and India raising enough
cotton to interfere with the consumption of American
cotton. While these countries combined raise in the
neighborhood of 4,000,000 bales annually, it te not
expected that there will be shown any degree of in
crease in future years. This amount does not sup
ply tbc mills of cither France or England, but the
bulk of the crop, which te raised in India, te con
sumed in the mills of that country.
It is estimated that there an in cultivation in these
countries 16,000,000 acres, producing only four mil
lion bates. In other countries abroad small produc
er of cotton is harvested. But, with all of the cot
ton produced In foreign nations, the American cot
ton is far superior in quality and it will always hold
a preference over foreign grown cotton.
- i. The farmers of the cotton belt need have no fean
front the foreign producer. The boll weevil te the
greatest menace to cotton growing in this country
l-now that it has been demonstrated that cotton
Ibe grown under boll weevil conditions, Amcri-
’cotton will continue to be king over all other
cotton growing nations.

The pages in history for years 'to come will tell
of.the memorable session of thq legislature of 1923
as the do nothing legislature.
Governor Walker has put tho responsibility on
the members of the legislature for the falure of the
passage of tax legislation. The governor has acted
wisely—the people of Georgia should know and
■nderstand where the. responsibility should rest
The members of the legislature are still bicker
ing and sidestepping the- passage of a tax measure.
Christmas will soon be here and, unless something
te dope this week—Georgia will be without a tax
measure and will have a deficiency in the treasury
oLankeral thousand dollars paid to the unruly leg-
Waters. '
