ATHENS SHOULD BE REPRESENTED
The United StateH Shipping Board Merchant Fleet
association has issued a call for a meeting of the
manufacturers of the state to be held in Atlanta on
November 21 and 22. The occasion is one of great
importance to the people of Georgia, especially man
ufacturers. Traffic and export representatives will
be present and information desired as to the rates on
shipments to foreign countries will be accessible.
Georgia has for a number of years exported mil
lions of dollars in agricultural products in addition to
cotton shipments. In 1928, Georgia showed an in
crease over 1927 by over $6,000,000. The field is In
viting for export trade and if our people will become
interested, there is no telling to what extent, our for
eign trade will grow.
The Chamber of Commerce should hav\s a i-.-frc-en-
tative to attend the conference and present Athens'
name for consideration in the .shipment of products
for the export trade; Besides freight rates, the air
service for commercial purposes will be brought up
and discussed. Assistant Secretary McCracken, of
the Department of Commerce, is greatly interested in
the South and the opportunities offered for manu
facturers.- An air service has been suggested by him
in order that its freight service to and from the mar
kets might be used to advantage. Whatever maybe
the results of the conference, it is highly important
for Athens to be represented and we trust tint t! e of
ficials of the Chamber of Commerce will see to it that
a representative attends the meeting. Prncticajly
every town and city in the state will hav-> represen
tatives ns well as representatives from other states.

CONVENTIONS AND TOURISTS
No agencies contributes more to the builtlir.tr of
cities than do conventions and tourists. The gather
ing of people representing the various conventions of
commercial, civic niul educational organizations come
from tho boat personnel of the citizenahiD of their re
spective communities . These people are close ob
servers and are on the lookout to secure information
to carry home with them to be put in practice and op
eration. Many of them, however, are open, to locat
ing some where other than their present homes. If
• Athens offers inducements sufficient to interest them,
it ia more than likely they will consider this city for
their home and business connections. Therefore, ev-
ery effort should be put forward by the Chamber of
Commerce to secure meetings of conventions in Ath
ens. Then there is the tourist; it is not everyone pass
ing through Athena that would be interested in locat
ing or making investments here, but there are some
of them who would become interested. A special ef
fort should be made to in'—rest and encourage tourist
ot remain over in Athens and show them the advan
tages possessed here for homeseekers and investors.
There is many reasons to advance why they should
become citizens of this place. A little, information
and pursuasion on the part of citizens would aid ma
terially in interesting these strangers in Athens when
stopping over for a night or for a day.
Let us keep conventions and tourists in mind and
whenever possible meet and shake hands with the
strangers and tell them of some of the advantages we
have to offer here. It will help the town, even though
we do not secure them as bonafide citizens; it will en
courage them to have a good word for Athens In their
travels.

ADVERTISING CORN FOR SALE
; iV 2
! r
A South Georgia newspaper has created a stir in
that aection by carrying a small advertisement from
one of the leading farmers in that section offering for
sale 6,000 bushels of com. The Savannah Morning
News, in commenting on the occurrence, says:
“The News finds it “a good sign” that a farmer is
advertising, recalling that fanners ought to advertise
. what they have to sell, since advertising “finds mar
kets, creates markets, stabilizes markets and gets ad
vertised goods on a standard price of sale that means
sure, reasonable profits.
“In the next place, it is significant that a farmer in
a South Georgia county is advertising com than fu
made—western com’ on which they paid the freight
and at least two profits. Colquitt is not alone this
year nor in several recent years showing the world
that South Georgia can and does make more com
than it needy for home consumption, and Colquitt, let
it be remembered, is in. the heart of the hog raising
section, with Moultrie, the recognize) hog-buying
point in the whole Southeast, as the county seat. Ami
here the farmers have ccm to sell to the public gen
erally.
“It is worth noting that the com is offered at a
price. Farmers have been in the habit fo.- generations
of letting the buyers fix tile prices. The price nampd,
76 cents a bushel, is riot a high price; but this farmer 1
has viewed the market, studied the supply and de
mand, and he is advertising com at this price. And in
Colquitt, as in a number of other counties, adult farm
ers have produced com at a cost of considerably less
than 76 cents. Boys* clubs in their prize five-acre
patches, in the care of which they kept account of
every penny spent and every hour of work devoted
to tHe patch, have made record yields at a cost of far
less than half of 75 cents."
Our people have never fail
ed to rally to any deserving
cause, when called upon. We
do not believe that they wsll
tail to respond to the call of
the Ked Cross, the Y. M. C. A.
and the Salvation Army.
