.| ! HIGH STANDARD OF EFFICIENCY
y - Throughout the country, the bar associations and
the legislatures of the states are strengthening the
present requirements of applicants for the admission
to the practice of law. A standard of efficiency as to
- mioral character and education are the first principles
fifposed on applicants for admission to the bar. lln
-~ Missouri and Pennsylvania, the restrictions and
-réquirements for applicants to the bar have been
. drawn in and before a man can be admitted to tne
" legal profession, he must have a clean record. The
- St. Louis Globe-Democrat takes the following view
of the requirements of applicants to the practice of
- law:
L “Every applicant for admission and license (to the
~ practice of law) must be at least 21 years of age,, of
good moral character and a resident of this state.
These are the general qualifications presceribed by
the statutes of Misscuri for candidates for admission
to its bar. What precautions are taken to make sure
that candidates have these qualifications? To de
termine eligibility is a duty of examiners named by
tkee supreme wourt, and while applicants are required
to have only the equivalent of common or grammar
school training in general education, along with a
‘fair knowledge’ of history, literature and civil gov
- ernment, these examiners are said by those who have
~ taken their tests to make a stiff inquiry in legal
,tz‘aining. Candidates 'may be required to furnish
proof of ‘good moral character,” but it is about the
same sort of perfunctory proof as that establishing
the fact of requisite: age and residence within the
state. Moral eligibility, accordingly, means about as
rauch in this as in most of the states, but in Pennsyl
vénia, under a law effective since last January and
- now being applied for the first time, the examiners
~ inquire into moral eligibility, and both signify more
~ at present than in the past. Of 168 recent candidates,
twenty-six were rejected for moral insufficiency and
several more were permitted to withdraw their appli
- cations for the same reason. That the twenty-six and
" others would havé been admitted to practice under
' the old-Pennsylvania and the present Missouri sys
~ tem is hardly to be questioned, and that they would
ll;t;:lsct dittle eredit on the profession is also proba
o W '
_Under the recent law enacted in Pennsylvania, a
greater number of applicants for admission to the
bar are refused than those that are granted. The
Georgia Bar Association has gone on record favoring
more stringent requirements of applicants than here
tofore. The position taken by this association has
improved the personnel of the profession in a marked
degree. A practicing attorney, should be a man of
-the highest character and integrity and one to com
mand the respect and confidence of the entire public.
¢ . CARNES DISAPPEARANCE A MYSTERY
! " One of the most mysterious cases occurring in the
- state in many years is that of C. S. Carnes, treasurer
of the Southern Baptist Association. Apparently with
nut cause on the 15th of August, Mr. Carnes mysteri
ously disappeared from his home city, Atlanta, and
x?r a nation wide scarch no news of his where
| outs has been learned. Another strange feature in
connection with Mr. Carnes is the failure of the offi
cers of the Southern Baptist Association to investigate
~ his past record before employing him for such a re
‘wgibje positicn. He had served 15 months’ sen
. tence in the Federal prison in Atlanta and immedi
; ?ly following his release he entered the service of
-the Baptist people and for the past several years
~ has conducted the affairs of that office in a most sat
~ isfactory manner, according to statements of the offi
clals of the church. Not only did he succeed with
he affairs of the church, but he met\ with remark
able success in the real estate field and with a num
ber of other enterprises in that city. And vet, with a
prison record in this and other states, he managed to
_ keep it from the public. All of the enterprises with
* which he was connected are reported to be in splen
d condition finally and not a dollar misappropria
' "l,?as been found by the auditors working on his
! S.
"Tt is a strange case and one that should be investi
- gated in a most thorugh manner and by experienced
ectives. If credence is to be given the reports
| 5 '(%the auditors and from those associated with him
i ) siness there is no doubt about Mr. Carnes having
it with an accident or foul play in some manner,
, either in Atlanta cr on a trip to other sections of the
' ;,q&flgay the least, iteis a mysterioug case and one
: should be gone into in the mostmrough man
| possible. .

A Little of Everything and No
Much of Anything,
By HUGH ROWE
Prgident Cuyler Trussell, of
the Chamber of Commerce, is
conducting an active campaign
for securing a diversity of new
enterprises for Athens.
Since his election to the office
of presiden!, iie has inaungurated
the monthly luncheon meeting plan
which seems to have met with
popular tavor on ihe part of tne
membership. Besides he is bring

rendering a most valuable service,
keeping in touch with many pros
pective enterprises seeking new
locations. The Chamber of Com
merce is not only condueting an
active campaign for new enter
prises, but it has on its program
a number of other improvements
for, Athens that it hopes w'll ma
teriiwize before the end of the
year,
We are not informed as to
the correctness of the reports
that seem to be in general cir
culatiopy of the oppesition, on
the part of some citizens, to
the locating of new entcoprises
here, but if they are true, it is
. indeed an unfortunate condi
tion.
No town or city in the state has
better auvantages to offer for
manufacturing and icdustrial en
terprises than has Atbens. Abund
ance of electric power, cheap and
reliable labor, school and health
conditions upsurpassed and a most
ideal climate. Indusiries seeking
new llocations could not improve
on_what Athens has to offer. If
there are any citizens here ob
structing the location of enler
prises, let’s learn who they are
and try to’ convert them or sell
them on the idea of building a
Greater and Better Athens. We
are inclined to the belief that the
rumors of such opposit'on are
magnified and inflated. Attend the
next meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce and give .the membhers
the 2enefit of your ideas and ex
perience,

to the Revolution, do you?”
“Yassa. De Revolution and G'n"

“Nossa, Ah didn’ exactly see it,
but Ah recollect hearin' somethin’

well says of the situation:

amount of cotton gipned up to

ld indcate that the crop has
not recovered from the late plant

l *The crop in the Southwe:t
where ginn‘ng has barely started,
has undergone deterioration dur

l however, is said to be very zood.

I‘stocked with raw cotton, and spin

' large fioures for some time to
cogle. ‘We hope our farmer friends
'wkl market their cotton in an
orderly manner this year, and not
:try to ru‘n a rising market by
Coffering two or three bales where
+only one is needed. Expert higher
Iprices for cotton.
Here are lates! reports from the
boll . weevt:
801 l weevil infestation continues
high in most local’ties of *Texas.
The rerorts from I"ast, Northeast
and - Northwest . Texas indica'e
marked deterioration of the cotton
crop has commenced. The exces
sive heat dryrng out the soil pre
viously too wet, shedding of
squares, open’ng of immature bolls
weevil and boilwerm damage all
contributed to the slump.
801 l weevil infestation in South
west Arkansas has become qu'te
general, In the eastern part of
the State probably not more than
half of the fields are seriously
infested.
801 l wgevil damage ‘n Missis
sippi durng the last week was
about double that of the preceding
week.
There has been a steady flow
of deteripration reports from prac
tically, every section of the Dbelt
and the crop has undoubtedly had
a serious setback.
Prices seem to us to he relative
ly too low in view of the fact that
the supply indicated by the carry
over and predicted crop is a mil
lion bales legs than last year. The
price is almost 3¢ lower. :
Reports just coming in from
North Carolina say the top crop
is eaten up by the weevil, and in
others the plant seems to be turn
ing vyellow, and the reaves drop
ping off. '
We understand that the sec
tion of the Elebrton highway ex
tending from tiae Madison county
line to Elberton, that was bu'lt
under contract, has been rejected
by the Elbert Authorities because
the road is too narrow and the
work does not come up to specifi
cations. This is a very important
link and for a greater part of the
distance is built over the river and
Dove Creek. hills, there is anpther
rough and rugged streich on this
highway from Comer to Colbert,
on which no work whatever has
been done. Travel from Athens to
Elberton must continue to detour
via the Danielsville and Royston,
which about doubles the distance.
It looks like the State highway
commission ig bent on side-track
ing Athens. A cross road is being
built from Elberton to Greenshoro
via Lexington, ard which will cat
off travel on the Calhoun highway
from Athens. Work has been dis
continued on the Bankhead High
way between Danielsville and
Royston. and the old narrow wood
en bridges are stll in use.
Our Chamber of Commerce had
better be up and doing, or Athens
will be left stranded high and dry
on the Highway map. Our city
can and should be made one of
the greategt Highway centers in
the South. i
Farmers irom the Ila vection of
Madison county tell us that last
week boll weevils began to rapid
ly increase, and instead -of In
spots they are found all over a
number of fields. They have done
no great damage as yet avd farm
ers hope to kep them down with
poison. Cotton is opening rapidly
and a very fine crop i 2 promised
if the weevil ‘s held in check. The
cotton sialks weke never better
fruited at th's season and all other
crops are as fine as the land can
produce.
Our old friend Jim Wright spent
a week with his daughter at Cen
ter, Jm tells us only a few polls
weevils have as yet appeared in
that section, and farmers are close
ly watching their fields and apply
ing poison. Corn on the Sandy
Creek bottoms look like a cane
brake, and will make around a
hundred bushels per acre. They
have extra f'ne crops all over
Jackson county and holl weevils
have done no perceptible harm as
yeé:. Many farmers in Jackson
are going into hogs, chickens and
dairying. g
We are glad to know that a
number of farmers, having la‘d by
the'r ‘crops will use the interval
between now and cotton picking
time to sow oats. Omne farmer in
Madison county tells us that the
greatest oat crop. he ever made
was planted between the fifteenth
and twent eth of August. The ear

We see a combpany has been
formed in Georgia to raise wild
rabbits for sale, their fur is valu

We are glad to know that the

E. K. Davis, farm agent of
JFrankln, tells what one farmer
in his county has accomplished
raising vetch. Mr. Davis says: '
“Mr. B. F. Keese, of Lavonia,
Ga., has been growing vetch for
four years and last year his vetch
on a six acre field was plowed un

off this field he picked nine bales
of cotton weighing 550 pounds
each. This year Mr. Keese has
given his order to us for 2000
pounds or one ton of vetch seed.
Any one who will give it a §trial
will have a similar experience. If
you want us to order your vetch
seed for you let us have your or
der before September sth. It will
cost you 11 1-2 cents for 200 Id.
lots and 12 cents for 100 pound
lots. You pay one cent when you
give the order and the rest when
the seed are delivered. If a cat

is pressed by the churches and
