Passenger Department Heads of
Roads Entering Athens Will
Probably Come to Athens This
Week For a Conference With
Chamber of Commerce Rela.
tive to the Inauguration of
This Proposition as a Trade
Puller For This City.
The “Trades Day*' idea is taking
hold of the business people of Ath
ens in a way that augurs well for the
success of the undertaking. The op
portunity is presented of doing some
thing worth while for Athens and it
is indicated that the Trades Day com
mittee is determined to wage an ag
gressive campaign in seeking to in
augurate this day here in this city.
On la3t Saturda> afternoon Chair
man A. H. Sikes and his committee
held an enthusiastic meeting at which
the details of the prospective plans
were thoroughly discussed.
It is announced that some of the
big passenger officials of the railroads
entering Athens will be here this
week for the purpose of discussing
this Trades Day proposition with the
officers and members of the Chamber
of Commerce. Among those who have
signified their intention of being here
are Mr. Fred Geissler, assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway; Mr. R. L. Baylor,
division passenger agent of the
Southern railway, and, it i3 expected,
the passenger or traffic agents of the
Central of Georgia, the Georgia rail
road and the Gainesville Midland-rail
road.
Chairman Sikes told The Herald
this morning that he is very san
guine as to the success of the new
Trades Day idea and that the com
mittee of which he is the head, act
ing under the direction of the Cham
ber of Commerce, together with the
cooperation of all the citizens of
Athens, expects to leave no stone un
turned to secure thia for Athens. Mr.
Sikes points out the great good which
will come to Athens through these
excursions, and he asks that the mer
chants not lose sight of the fact that
they are th^.on^.vbR^EL*^ m88t
directly benefited therefrom. If there
are any merchants in Athens who ar^
not already members of the Chamber
of Commerce they should 3end in
their applications without further de
lay and thus become factors in the
building up of the city and thus aid
ing in their own advancement as a
direct result of the efforts now being
put forth by the Athens Chamber of
Commerce.
Expressions so far heard from the
merchants of the city is of a most
favorable and enthusiastic character.

CLAIMS SUSTAINED.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., January 2®.
The supreme court today sustained
the claims of a thousand individual
and corporations in Alabama to the
title to 250,000 acres of school land.
The act conferring the title to the oc
cupants for twenty years was upheld.
Between 600 and 700 men crowded
into the Colonial yesterday to greet
Engineer D. J. Fant and to hear him
speak the message that he came to
Athens to deliver, under the auspices
of the religious committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Association of
Athens.
“An Emergency Run” was Mr.
Fant’s subject. There tomes a time
when God calls for a man to go out
and do His work, and that we must be
ready* when that time comes. Mr.
Fant’s address was illustrated with in
cidents that had come in his life as
railroad man. They helpel to clear up
the ideas in the minds of many of his
hearers as to the way in which they
should live
Hd has a direct, forceful iw*y of
presenting the gospel message
men look alike to Fant, if they arc
out of Christ, no matter how rich you
are, no matter whether you ride in
automobiles or are just a poor, un
educated working man, unless you are
Christ’s 4nd have given your life to
him in faith you are lost and are not
God’s son. He made a strong plea for
these men now during the present, be
fore it is too late, for them to give all
that they had to God, to allow Jesus
Christ to reign supreme in their lives.
At the conclusion of Mr. Fant’s ad
dress a 3core or more of men raised
their hands asking to be remembered
in prayer, and after the prayer three
decided for Christ’s life. There were
many others, we feel sure, who were
lifted up miiu stimulated >» their de
termination to live better lives and to
give Christ the dominant place in
their hearts and in their actions.
A special collection was taken to
apply on the deficit which has been
accumulating from Sunday to Sun
day. The total amount needed, in
cluding yesterday’s meeting, to put
these meetings out of debt was
$304.84. The crowd of men present
made the splendid donation of $116,
$67.25 being in cash and $48.75 in
good subscriptions.
The religious work of the Young
Men’s Christian Association has been,
accomplishing great good in this city
.during the last three years. Scores of
men have found peace with God;
may the Christian men of Athens rally
churches,/either on profession of
faith or by plarirtg their letters there
in. May the good work continue, pnd
may the Christian men of Athens rally
to the support of the‘religious com
mittee, who are putting themselves
and their thought and time into this
campaign to preach Jesu* to our men;
to stand for a cleaner and better city;
to stand for civic righteousness and
to give information and knowledge
about the great evils that men indulge
that they may see the error of
their way, and, through the gospel
messages that are brought to them,
be won from death to life, be won
from slavery to self mastery. This
work should receive the hearty coop
eration of every consistent church,
man in Athens, for it is reaching the
men of this commnuity.

defendant had shot at certain parliea,
and had gone to a negro woman’s
house, and threatened to cut her with
a knife. She fled or perhaps Doc

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) will be
a red letter one in the annals of the
U. of Ga.
On last night the Athletic Associa
tion .and student body will meet in the
Chapel at 8 o’clock to award “G’s”
and sweaters to the successful mem
bers of the football team, and the
public is moat cordially invited to the
exercises. \
The program will be very interest
ing and the University band will fur
nish the music.
Sweaters with ‘‘G’s”. on them have
heretofore been annually awarded the
men. This year sweaters as usual,
with the “G’s” will be awarded and
there will be a star on each indicating
the rank of each player in years.
An Athletic Diploma.
In addition to the sweaters a “G”
will be delivered. This “G” is in the
nature of an athletic diploma and
will be awarded for the first time by
any University in the South. Har
vard, Yale and Syracuse, in the East,
award “G’s” of this permanent char,
acter as a token of the athletic
achievement of the members of their
team and the University of Georgia on
Tuesday night will inaugurate this
practice in the South.
Staling these “G’s” in this perma
nent -form, will become the ambition
of .the athletics of the University of
Georgia, in football, baseball, basket
ball and other activities and should
become more and more valued, and
therefore, more and more highly
prized until they can be only earned
like any other diploma, after four

When docs dark come In Athens,
Ga?
That’s it, that’s tho issue that is
puzzling Recorder Price and some oth
ers, and it’s all brought about by that
traffic ordinance that you have been
hearing so much about lately, and
which is causing the police to docket
numerous cases, and the autoists no
slight annoyance, and the issue that
now confronts the fourt is a trying
one (no pun) to say the least, for all
depends on whether the city has mado
out cases against about half a dozen
auto owners charged with failure to
have their auto lamps lighted on Sat
urday and Sunday nights.
Dusk and Dark.
Probably the issue of when does
dark arrive in Athens never have come
up had not Mr. J, M. Hodgson been on
trial for a violation of the auto law-
no lights on his machine after dark.
He said he was really not the defend
ant as his son had been using the auto
at the time of alleged offense, but that
he would assume the blame, stating
thai the auto iamps had not been lit
as dusk fell, and the boy had gone
for oil to fill them, but the police had
come'on the scene in the meantime
and docketed a case against him,
charging no lights on auto after dark.
“Noy, Judge,” said Mr. Hodgson,
“Pm charged with' having no light on
piy auto (nr son’s auto) after dark,
will you tell me at what hour dark ar
rives in Athens?”
Judge Price looked puzzled*, and
said he did not exactly know.
Some one suggested that dark came
whenever dark was due.
“I’ll fine you $3.00,” said the re
corder, hut he soon after reversed him
self, or, in other words, decided that
all the “dark-auto” cases be post
poned until tomorrow, until the dark
business couM. be settjed on,
Among those of. prominence on the
docket mixed up' with auto violations
is President Andrew Erwin, the ener
getic head of the Athens Chamber of , . ... . .. , .

will Judge Price do.shout it?. Is dark
dark? What is dusk? What is the
time to get your lamps lit on your

WOMAN'S REVOLVER;
BULLET IN LUNG
Savannah, Ga., Jaauary 26. — The
condition of Neal Palmer, tha Bir
mingham, Ala., man who was myste
riously' Wounded yesterday at Thun
derbolt, remains serious today . He
has a bullet wound in his left lung
just below the heart.
Mrs. K. J. Anderann, the woman
who was arrested on the charge of
shooting him, is still in custody. There
is no specific charge against her.
Palmer was shat at Thunderbolt
yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock,
and there were no eye-witnesses to
the affair. When found Palmer said
at first that he had shot himself, but
later in the day charged the woman
with shooting him. She denied this
and said that Palmer shot himself bp-
cause she refused, as she had repeated
ly done before, to marry him. 1
Palmer says she^shot him because
he broke his engagement with her. The
two were engaged to marry in Blri
minghanf, where Mrs. Andrews' lor?
merly lived. Palmer is in a critical
condition and may sot live through the
plight. He formerly lived in Washing- ^

NO WEDDING OF OCEANS AT PANAMA
All this talk one hears about the
wedding of the waters of the Atlantic
and the Pacific in the Panama Canal
sounds ridiculous to the men who
knows just what the canal is. As a
matter of fact, the only way the
waters of the two oceans ever can
get together at Panama will be for
someone to carry e bucketful from
each ocean and pour it out in Gatun
Lake. The Pacific cemes no further
across the Isthmus than Mlraflwes,
which ii only a few miles lataaAjpora
the shore. Nor does the Atlgjoc ge
any further inland than Gatun, which
also is only a few miles from the
coast line. The other thirty-five
miles ef the canal is a big body of
fresh water supplied by the Chagres
River end ether small streams.' Be
tween Gatun and Pedro Miguel, some
thirty-two miles, the surface of the
water is eighty-five fcei above the
normal water level in the two oceaqs.
All the water for the iocking ship., j
is supplied by this lake
One thing has been done, however,
that is generally overlooked. The'
building of Culebra Cut have so in
creased the tpeifght of the Chagres
waters and lowered the height of the
continental divide that now the touch
of a lever can send the water of the
Chagres into either ocean. It has
been a case of meeting half-way. Dig
ging Culebra Cut has brought the
mountain down and. building tha
Gatun Dam has carried the river up
until the river can’ flow through the
mountain. ...
The story of the Panama Canal is
toM in this graphie way in the new
book, “The Panama Canal,” by Fred
eric J. Haskin. It’s the book on the
canal, and with the O. K. of Colonel
Goethals on its construction chap
ters, you will know it is accurate,
while your own mind will declare it
fascinating. Watch the coupohe in
this newspaper, save them, and get
this book fer yourself.
