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. ► Nino more dsys in which'to do your Christmas ■""shopping. 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.
