THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

" most unwilling to die, are such who have lived to no
i qs&—wlw have rather breathed than lived.—

r” WHERE ATHENS IS LACKING.
’ ',’*‘.:;‘_h'l‘oughout the country, parks and playgrounds
:gé’considered of utmost importance by the officials
of the municipalities. The people are becoming awak
ened to the necessity of ample sites for parks and
playgrounds even though duch sites, from financial
necessity forces them to be held until sufficient funds
can be accumulated for their development and
equipment. Athen: should commence now purchas
ing every available site its financial ability will per
mit for parks and playgrounds.
_The United States labor department furnishes
most interesting information as relates to many of
the cities of the ccuntry that have already provided
for reereation centers., The announcement follows:
“Pwenty cities in the United States have not less
than an acre of park for every one hundred citizens.
New York has one acre cf park to every 553 inhabi
tants, and Chicago has one acre of park to every
602 inhabitants, based upon the 1920 census. On the
other hand, Newark, N. J., has one acre of park to
every 14,423 persons.
“Lack of adequate park and recreation facilities
for the millions cf persens herded in American cities
as become a serious sccial preblem. Rapid indus
trialization and commercial expansion in the United
States since the beginning of the century has resulted
in a lack of attention to playgrounds and outdoor
recreation centers as compared with the rapid influx
of workmen, vet parks are regarded as essential to
to the preservation cf the health and contentment of
the citizens.
- ““The city of Denver is peculiarly situated in that
_ its parks are an added asset in that they attract
: goumts and visitors from everywhere. That city owns
0,000 acres in mountain parks outside *he city lim
its. The city of Dallas cwns 3,898.5 acres of parks,
and 3,144 acres are outside the city limits. Approx
~ imately 14 per cent of the area of the city of Minne
apolis is in park property.
" “There is something of a warning for a number
of Southern cities which hope for great industrial
development in the words of the United States de
partment.”
No imprcvement adds more to the attractiveness
of a city than an adequate number of parks and play
grounds. Touricis, home-seekers and investors are
attracted more to 2 community that has such im
provements than any otaer asset a municipality
may possess. Our people should not delay on this
important civic development. It will prove an asset
in after years that ‘cannot be eaualed by any other
improvement.
g A MAYOR’S PAINED SURPRISE.
The Philadelphia mayor’s sudden expression of
surprise and horror at the grand jury's revelations of
booze and vice activities in that city, and his order
to the police to clean up the town in 24 hours, do not,
somehow, ring quite true.
Mayors are put into office to know what is going
on in their cities and to sce to it that lawlessness is
shp,mfised. A man who can serve as mayor of Am
erica’s third largest city for many months without
once suspecting that there is any bootlegging, graft
gl' erime in his balliwick is, perhaps, te be envied for
is childlike, unsuspecting trust in a naughty world;
but the city that elected him may be pardoned if it
fails to believe that he is quile so unsophisticated as
his protestations make him appear.
' To announce a sweeping investigation, and to prom
ise that the trouble would be eradicated even if it
took months of hard work, would not sound so bad:
but to express pained surprise and promise to reme
@'motters overnight-—well, as we said, it just does
n't ring true.

better players came to the front,

¢Billy Sunday, preaching in New

ant evangelical parsons, says that
e is “the ambassador of God”
. ... Billy has never been mod

of h's relations wih God. We
never figured him as an ambas

| Manager E. G. Cidley, of
the Palace theatre, is all

home, Sunday of a son who
will soen be ta'ling the Senior
Gidley how to run the Palace.

proud of the new gon. but he is

Mopday and Tuesday of nexi week,
This inovation on the part of the
mapagemtnt places Athens in a
classification along with all the
big eities ‘'of the country. The vit.
aphone and movietgne picgtures are
the latest ‘n filmdom and for Ath.
ens to be among ihe first in the
couniry to enjoy this novelty,
speaks well for the local manage
ment who have secured these pice
tures at engrmous cost.
The opposition to Governor
Alfred E. Smith, tor the presi
dency on the democratic ticket,
when boiled down, bubbes up
against Catholicism with about
ninety per cent of the peo- |
ple. |
One of the best illustrations of
this condition that we have seen
appeared in the Morgantown (N.
C.) News-Herald. It follows:
“Polly Malindy Yen'on is one
of Burke county’s most unigue
characters. Everybody knows her
and everybody makes allowances
for “Pq’ly”. She can take a lot
of teasing, but beg'ns to get mad
if she is pregsed. While she was
in town the other day somebody
asked her if she were for Al Smith
for president. “Nop.” snhapped Pol.
ly. “Why are you not for him,
Polly?’ insisted her questioner.
“Because he's a Catholic,”” was
the reply. “What is a Cathglic,
Po¥y?" she was «sked. *“I don't
know: I'm just agin whatever it
18" was her truthful answer.”
The fad raging in some sec
tions of the country for “Eu
genic Babies” seems to be on
the decline—that is, the people
are not being misled by the
camouflage of the mothers. Ac
cording to the Clayton County
News, “eugenic babies” are
myths. It says:
“Apother Eugenic Baby" has

Lag! year by an inflated govern
ment crop report cost our Sou
thern Cotten growers millions of
dollars and the same dirty work
is repeated this season. The last
report indicated a crop of 14,291
000 bales. Editor Blackwell in rhe
Cotton and Cotton Oil News says:
“The est'mate is 148,000 bales
flarger than the Aug. 8 estimate
of 14,291,000 bales. It is difficult
to account for the Bureau's in
crease in the estimated crop un
less the Government has decided
that weevil activity has not been
as severe ag predicted by their
discounting of that factor in the
August report.
'n"V‘é do mot belisve that the
crop ‘will be over 14,250,000 bales.
In the long run ceotton should se’l
at 20c per pound, but the weight
of “he movement has not yet to
come on the market and until
more of the present crop is gin
ned and marketed a material ad
vance is not likely to take place.
“Ome factor that may come in
the lmelight is the possibility of
frost occurring at norme! dates,
which would seriously hamper
this season’s late crop.
“Our advice to our readers at
thig time is to sell spot cotton
slowly and only: offer a few bales
a. a time; sit steady in the bgat
and determine npext planting sea
son not to plant to 'he fence cor
ners 'n cotton.
The world will l'kely need a
moderate crop of around 15,000,
000 bales, exclusive of linters, for
this season’s requirements, since
the world consumed last sason,
under restrictions of much miil
et ailment, 14.896,000 bales ex
clusive of 942,000 bhales of I'nt
ers.

ustal late summer migratory
flights of boll weevil were con

which were not much popwated
by weevils before. Thus in ‘the
eastern parts of Anderson and
Spartanburg counties some fields
are now heavily infested for the

Crop deteripration is still going

cally no ‘mprovemen’ reported.

It was not quite nine o’clock that
morning when Sandy’s disgrace
ful flivver shivered to a stop be
fcre the Tarver’s new house.
“Keep vour chin up, kid,” San
dy' sang out aove the roar of the
motor.
“ Good morning, Miss Tarver,”
a stranger greeted! Tony in a
beautifully modalated ‘*‘Boston”
voice. “I'm Miss Gresvenor. Your
dear mother has enlisted my aid
in the coming festivities. May 1
congratu'ate you, my dear?”
- “Sorry,” Tony retorted, her
bare head flung Dback defiantly.
“There’s been a little mistake. I'm
rot engaged.”
The elderly spinster gasped.
“Please forgive me for speaking
curtiy,” Tony bezged. “I know it's
not your fault. I wonder—llisten,
Miss Grosvenor, I'm in the devil of

this isn’t the first time in the his

changed her mind? Please!”
Tony’s :lue-diamond eyes, very
wide and chi‘dlike and misted
over with tears, did the work.
Miss, Grosvenor laid a thin, blue
veined old hand on Tony’s shoul
der and promised her air.
“I admire your courage, child,”
the elderly social secretary was
saying, when a shrill “Yoo-hoo,
Tony!” interrupted.
“My chum’s calling me,” Tony
cxplained, as she saw Crysta! fly

It is doubtful if Miss Emmaline
Grosvenor had ever been called a

had made a life-long friend, ran
down the walk to join Crystal.
“Oh, Tony!” she gasped. “The
