URGENT NEED OF
MORE ENTERPRISES
Editor Banner-Herald,
Athena, Georgia. <:
Our city surely heeds more

rised that a Mr. Arnold at Sixth-
am has an excellent deposit of as
bestos near by. It this la true why
not Athena hare a factory to make
this wonderful mineral Into shlng-
leato cover our domes Instead of
shipping cedar Shingles from Brit
ish Columbia and metal as well as
tile from faraway Ohio.
Why not have a hundred car
loads a month to ship away In
stead of shipping In our actual
needs?
Why cannot Athens hare a can
ning factory for canning what
things that go to waste, sued as
tomatoes, beans, cabbage, apples,
peaches, etc. We eat tour kraut at
the "Hot-Dog", stands that la
raised and canned In far away
California. We are served toma
toes and com (out of season.) that
are canned ho nearer to ua than
Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland.
We cat canned peas grown In
Michigan. We an dose enough to
the hardwood belt to have, chairs,
all kinds of furnltur, fixtures, of
fice desks, tablet, etc., factories.
We have the electric power,
people who need employment, the
brains and the capital, It we would
only put all these force* together
and get busy.
Why not build automobiles in
Athena? And have some, money
coming Into our banks rather than
haring It.going out We have the
talent to run all such enterprises
for we lose such talent as we have
nothing for them to do, and it la
natural tor them to go to other
stales and help manufacture the
above named commodities, am)
ship back to up here.
What are wo going to do about
It? Arc wo going to alt Idle and

that they do not get busy and ge(

AN ATHENIAN
GAMBLERS BEING DEVELOPED
BY WHOLESALE >IN ATHENS
I desire to call the attention of
tho law abiding. Cod fearing, cit
izens of Athena to the punch board
gambling devices, which are being
operated daily In many of the
places of business In Athens.
Not only dtt many of our older
men play these punch boards, thus
setting a bad example for the
young, but our high school boys
and college boys, boys and young
men who work, are crowding the
counters by the hundreds where
Illegal gambling devices ore
hi operation.
Tho punch board has born nut.
luwod. uml has born passed oh a-
being clearly a gambling game nl
chance.
This has been a growing evil In
Athena during tho last few years,
until at this Christman time, when
tho Birth of Jesus Christ ,who
came.to save mon fro mtholr sin,
It being celebrated, many of our
| merchants—In order, to sell moro [
candy,' more cigar.,, moro toilet
sets, or anything which they do-
slrb to put up—are appealing to
tho Christmas custom of giving to
take a chance; punch a hole and
win a gift for perhaps one cent,
ten cents, or ninety-nine cents.
And, so It goes on, many young
boys of the grammar and high
school age, college hoys,' as well
as many who are at work early
for a living, are taught to try and
get something for less than its
value, which Is the appeal that
finally makes a confirmed gambler
of one, who Indulges Jn games of
chance. v
I do not know why this law vio
lation has been allowed to con
tinue to openly In so many ol
Athena’ leading stores, but'It has,
and I, for ono. who for twenty-five
yegra has had to deal with the
boys of this city and of the Uni
versity of Georgia, and who knows
tho destruction of clmracter which
resulta from «uch lawless prae-
11 cos, am entering my protest pub
licly. because the gambling Is be
ing done publicly.
As a citizen and tax payer I am
calling on tho constituted authori
ties to lhave this law violation
stopped.

THE CHILD ON THE SEAL
* (Contributed)
Hava you Been her? She Is
stretching forth her bands to
you aa she looks into tho face
of the genial old man who
typifies the spirit of Christmas
and of love. Do you sat her as
she bo confidently looks up ex
pecting, longing, wondering
why the other children are so
happy with their own mothers
and tier's had t oleave her juit
a year ago, victim of the dread
tuberculosis.
No answer can be given this
winsome little being who Is
fortunate in having much of
love given her and whose com
forting much la done, the ques
tion must remain In the mind
and the longing In the heart
but there are so many lacking
the ministries of love, simply
left bereft by the same White
Plague which strikes the high
and low alike. Did yon see that/
lovely baby In the hospital
here for weeks, the pet of the
nurses until a distant relative
took It Into her itomeT So
beautiful a specimen of baby
hood is rare and the doctors
said the wee girl was untaint
ed. was perfect though the
parents are tubercular, the
'father a disabled soldler-do
you not see these arms held
out to you as you look at the
seal of the Antl-Tnbercnlosls
Association? The doctors say
that this mother may live-and
the disease bo arrested, “If
she can have fresh air and rest
and tho proper food.” This
must lie provided for her, and
or many in like, condition, for
she has not the money and the
father lost hi* health in offer
ing his life for his country and
yours. Shall these baby arms
be held out in .vain?
The boy hud a fine face, n«
features go, but there was a
hardness that arrested one's
notice even In the crowd, he
saw the seals being sold, lis
tened to the gentle girl as
she spoke with the kindly man
who asked about the success of
the day's selling. Taking >nm*-
change from his pocket tin*
boy said “take this," and there
was a softening of tho stony
face, “I know all about that
disease, my mother died of
that and I was just a little
kid and couldn't work much
and she just couldn't rest like
the doctor said she ought, and
the* sunshine didn’t seem to get
Into oar pert of the house
much and the didn’t hate no
chance” With a look as though
ashamed of this unusual talk
ativeness the young chap went
off With head up and one felt
sure there was a hard hurt In
the heart that wanted to help
“gtv% a chance" to aome other
boy's mother.
And what then do you see
on the seal? The child aud
tho'Santa but have yon no
ticed in tho upper corners that
emblem of suffering such as
no man can imagine? Look
again and as you look, see Him
who .van I,ovo carnal**, .ml
h’*ar that voice of "love be
yond all love excelling” as it
hays “( am come that they
might have life and that they
might have it more abundant-
