It is the enemy whom we do not suspect who is the most dangerous.—Rojas. THE RETIREMENT OF TUNNEY. Gene Tunney. world champion prize fighter, has retired from the ring for good end all time, after fighting his way to the top round in professional cir cles. He is not the ordinary type of prize fighter; he is refined, educated and a mnn of splendid char acter and integrity. He has accumulated a fortune, and if he never earns another dollar, he will have a sufficiency to provide for all his needs the rest of his days. Prize fighting is a brutal game; it is demoralizing to the public as well as to tne fighters. Few men who have made the ring their business or profession have risen above the lowest ebb in life. The history of practically every champion shows that in the end they have come to want and destitution, dissipated and depraved. Tunney, however, has an opportunity to rise above the conditions that have followed many before him and if he will use his money wisely, he can accomplish a great deal of good for himself as well as for the public. Now, that the championship mantle of the world hangs on an American, it is to be hoped that legislation will be enacted prohibiting any such exhibitions of brutality in this country. Prize fighting should not be tolerated and now that no one seems to be in the class with Tunney, the sport, if it may so be termed, should be abolished and such contests prohibited by law. SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING COOL. At this season of the year, the people fret, com plain and grow excited over the condition of the weather simply because it is not as cool as the fall season. If the seasons were all of the same tempera ture, the country would soon become devastated arid the inhabitants forced to migrate. The following suggestions, if followed, will aid materially in 1 reliev ing citizens who are addicted to the habit of com plaining; Don’t overeat. 1 I Drink plenty of cool water, but avoid ice water. Do not exercise violently. Take the weather calmly. Fretting and worrying merely makes it worse. Bathe often, but avoid, too cold water. Avoid alcoholic drinks. Suppose those who come under the classification of complainers adopt the foregoing suggestions and see if their cases do not improve. It is needless to criticise or complain, the weather will not change to suit every whim desired by the unreasonable per son. Hot weather is seasonable and unless the cli mate remained so for several months each year, this would be an undesirable country In which to live- SKY-SCRAPERS ARE IN ORDER. A New York architect remarked the other day that 100 story office buildings will be relatively common in a few years. From the structural viewpoint there probably are no obstacles. It has been demonstrated pretty thor oughly that designers can make steel girders go to almost any height But there are grave objections to the 100-atory skyscraper that we doubt very much if it will mater ialize. Traffic congestion in our major cities is almost; un bearable even now. A monster building of 100 sto ries would treble it. It would concentrate too many people in one spot The result would be Hit addition to the traffic stream that would simply paralyze things. Cities of the future should aim at diffusion of downtown workers, not concentration. The 100- story skyscraper would be fine to look at but it would be a distinct menace to. the city that built it. GETTING READY FOR BUSINESS. Prospects for a record breaking business in Ath ens this fr.ll were never more encouraging. The mer chants are buying unusually large stocks of merchan dise and preparing to meet the increased demands from the consumer. It will soon be lr.ying-by time and unless all signs fall, crops in this immediate section will be the most bountiful of any in yearn. Besides, the fanners are devoting much attention to poultry and dairy prod ucts. These accessors to th.o farm have grown to be of vast importance and very remunerative. -Many farmers in this section are selling enough by-products to support their families. At the curb market, the sale of vegetables, chickens, egos, butter and other produce has shown large increases over the sales of last year. The curb market has proven a boon for the farmer that has enabled him to live at home and to become independent of debt or buying “on time," and paying a high price for the actual necessities of life. The return of normalcy in all lines of business may be expected this fall and the most prosperous year in the last decade is assured. If the bill of Representative Howard, of Nebraska, passes, “lame dock” senators and congressmen will bo barred from lobbying around the capitol. It is ah loged that manv of these ex-office holders receive large fees for their services in securing the passage of important legislation, for this or that interest There is no need for commenting on the weather.

Lane, the beloved and honored old minister who for many years filled the pul pit of the First Presbyterian church. It was during the Speer- Candler campaign, when the vot ers were more derided than they are 'today over the nomination of Gov. Smith for the Presidency. I was supporting Candler through my paper. The Banner-Watchman, and making a hard fight for his lot In Athens held a meeting and nomination. The Candler suppor. each agreed to see a certain num ber of voters a.id urge upon each the importance of casting his bc.1- lott for the democratic nominee, where we were not a member of his church. Dr. Lane was oir goud friend so we placed him on our lb to interview. The election was only two days off when we met Dr. Lane on the street and toll h'm not to forge* to vote.
