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. DAMS MARKET tra Specials for the week Emergency Run By Engineer Excellent See our bargain table of 10c tablets for 5c. McGregor Co. 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. EENE CASE, ASSERTS LAWYERS (By Associated Press.)

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 , . ... . .. , .

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- ^ ton, D. C.

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.
