OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
A community without an active Chamber of Com
merce or commercial organization Is at a great disad
vantage in this advanced age. It is the duty of every
citizen to take an active part in all the movements
inaugurated by the Chamber of Commerce ABO to
the beat of their ability, work for the success of the
cause. The Chamber of Commerce of the United
states is rendering a valuable service to thej people
Inf this country. This organization is systematized-
"and every detail looking towards the upbuilding and
development of all communities is the important pro-
gram paramount with this organization.
The Organization Service Bureau of the national
association, has offered a wise suggestion in the WBy
of selecting directors for local Chambers of Com
merce. The plan of thi3 bureau is for the entire mem
bership to select the directors and not a small group
of members. Commenting on the recommendation,
circular letters or pamphlet has been sent out from
the bureau, stating as follows:
•This is a significant change.. It reflects in the or
ganization of he local chamber of commerce a change
in the conception of its purpose and scope of its mean
ing to the community in which it lives. Because in
the final analysis activities which develop the indus
trial and commercial life of the community are of
value to tho whole community, there grew out of
the actual facts of the relationship of the chamber's-
activities to the community a conception of the cham
ber o'i commerce as an organization through which all
business men could take a constructive and continu
ing contribution to the communities in which they
lived. Business men gradually ceased to look upon
their local chamber of commerce as a sort of federa-.
tion of different business interests or groups, wholo r
salcrs, manufacturers, shippers, insurance men, etc.,
and as an organization whose purpose was to protect
the business units in their relations to the communi
ty and to tho nation, and whose scope was confined
to such protective activities, to tho adjusting of the
relations to each other of these business units or
groups, and to promotional work which was conceiv
ed to be of more or loss direct benefit to the business
interests of the community. They came to look upon
their chamber ns a unitary body capable of executing
a community program of work and service. The busi
ness men member of tho chamber of commerce be
came also a citizen member of tho chamber. Others,
-who shared tho business man’s viewpoint, consequent
ly were attracted to membership.”
The foregoing suggestion is one of much impor
tance. Chambers of Commerce adopting such a plan
are bound to succeed and grow in importance to the
communities in which they nre located. A similar
plan or possibly the same pla is in vogue here. Tho
most important matter facing our Chamber of Com
merce is the lack of interest among tho members as *
well as among citizens who should become members.
No organization can grow or prosper without syste
matic principles. An organization of this character
can not hope to serve the community so long its the
people do not properly support it. Athens should
have at lo*.?t one hundred members in tho local
Chamber of Commerce and everyone of them an ac
tive member. With such an organization, this city
would soon become otto of the best known in the South
and hundreds of home-seekers and investors would
turn this way and locate. It is high time for our
people to inject pep and progressiveness in our com
mercial organization and begin a program of build
ing that will lend to greater things for Athens.
THE POPCORN INDUSTRY
In *< me secticns cl tho state special attention i3
given to growing popcorn which lias become an im
portant and profitable industry’. Tho average yield
per acre is thirty bushels and for seed corn, the usual
price bcitr,' five dollars the bushel. At this price and
,>duction of thirty bushels to tho acre, it is shown
e far more profitable than growing cotton.
?vcr, popcorn should not he groan too exten-
jcly, but under tho system of diversification, every
farmer Ehouid set aside a number of acres for this
purpose. Popcorn can be grown as advantageously
in this section of the state as can be grown in other
■dates and the demand in the local market is as good
as in markets in other sections and In other states.
The farmers in this section,,will make no mistake
in planting a certain number of acres in popcorn. A
ready sale will bp found for. it and at a price (bat will
pay tho producer. Such a crop will add materially
to the income of farmers and provide for them a prod
uct that will find a ready market

HONORABLE FULLER E. CALLAWAY, SR.
The sudden and unexpected death of?Iloporable
Fuller E. Callaway, Sr., at his home • In • LaGrango
Sunday morning, came as a surprise tb' his host of
friends and business associates. Mr. Calloway was a
recognized leader in the cotton manufacturing in
dustry and banking business in the South. Commenc
ing life without capital, but with a determination to
succeed, his advances in the commercial life of Geor
gia and tho South have been most remarkable.’ Lead
ing an active business life for many years, recently he
retired in a measure and placed the responsibility of
the conduct of his numerous enterprises in tho hands
of his two sons, Cason J. and Fuller E. Callaway, Jr.
Mr. Cnliaway was not only prominent in commercial
and civic movements, but he was devoted to his
church—the Baptist denomination. His services, in
fluence and money were ever ready foe the-support
of t-i. rh-rr-h In his going away, LsGrsrrpe; GCobgia
and the South have lost a citizen whose place will be
hard to fill. Sympathies of the sinusiWl VMP

^ypeat sorrow.
