ATHENS, CA„ SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1911.
WEATHER FORECAST.
Washington, D. May 2.—Forecast for Georgia: Generally fair to
night and Sunday.
THE SOUTH IS FORGING AHEAD.
* There's no reason why one of these days the south shouldn’t
manufacture nearly all of its own cotton crop. It is already using
as much cotton and a little more than the rest of the mills in
America. Twenty years from now the south will be using twice
as much cotton as the rest of the mills in America. One of these
days we'll stop shipping so much cotton abroad, and manufacture
most of it in the south.
In 1893 southern cotton mills used 743,848 bales of cotton
and all other mills in the United States used 1,687,286 bales. Now
note how things have changed in twenty, years. In 1913 the
southern mills used 2,960,518 bales and all other mills 2,825,713
bales. The southern mills, increased their consumption by nearly
300 per cent, while the rest of the country increased Jess than
70 per cent. From consuming less than half as much as the
other mills used, the southern mills have increased to an amount
that not only equals, but exceeds that of all other mills.
The southern mills now use more than a Zhlf of the south’s
product of cotton. This proportion is bound to increase. It must
involve a very serious change in social as well as in industrial con
ditions. As the cotton industry increases in the south there goes
with it corresponding material improvement, better paid and more
I prosperous' people, increased means for education and social
benefits.
BUSY IN THE ONION PATCH.
The politicians are all exceedingly
anxious to know what “Little Joe” is
goij.g to do. But the onion patch on
the farm up in Cherokee county is
still demanding the undivided atten
tion of the only man who can give an
authoritative answer to the question.

THE MAY AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
One of the most important contri

of Woodrow Wilson written by Hay

“the greatest reporter in the world.”

MAY 2 IS NATIONAL SUFFRAGE DAY.
The whole country over tfois day is being celebrated as woman’s inde
pendence day. The suffragists in innumerable cities, towns and villages
join in a big nation-wide demonstration. The different communities vie with
each other to have the most interesting program. Singing voices, bands,
church bells, factory whistles and bugles will call the people to attention.
Parades, speeches, debates and other demonstrations will clearly indicate the
strength of the movement. Suffrage editions of newspapers, county fairs,
expositions and luncheons will add to the interesting celebrations of the
gr*at national suffrage day.
Athens, the classical center of Georgia, the leader in her educational
affairs, does not intend to lag behind in this national movement. Careful
preparations have been made by Athens’ supporters of equal suffrage to give
to the people of our city a clear and concise presentation of the facts and
arguments on both sides of this vital question. The debate is to be held to
night at 8:30 in our city hall on the question: “Resolved, that the state of
Georgia should grant women the vote on the same basis as men,” will
furnish everybody a splendid opportunity to inform himself on this subject
end to help him decide what'stand to take on this most vital and practical
issue.
Therefore we want everybody to come out tonight, man or woman, mar
ried or single, supporting or supported, friend or opponent, decided or doubt
ful, old or young, rich or poor; everybody is most cordially urged, everybody
is most urgently invited. Let nothing stand in your way, and do not come
alone, but persuade your friends and neighbors to accompany you. Let us
show the world that Athens is a wide-awake city with a widespread interest
of the most vital issues of the day. You really cannot afford to be

New Zealand Protests
Aqainst Misbranding
of Goods by Exporters
Dunedin, N. Z., May 2.—New Zea
land has begun a vigorous campaign
against the practice of certain Brit
ish exporters of sending foreign goods
to this country under English labels.
The charge is made that British mer
chants buy large quantities of cheap
foreign goods and ship them to New
Zealand and other colonies as British
manufacturers.
Minister of .Customs Fisher in a
recent apeech said that he had posi
tive proof that foreign goods were im

Panama, May 2.—Rock and dirt are
•till moving down the Cucaracha Slide
into tho Cuiebra Cut, but the engi
neers who have been fighting the
treacherous slides in this vicinity are
at last gaining upon nature. Fears
that the opening of the canal, Bet for
January 1915, would havo to bo post
poned indefinitely, have been growing
less each day, for the dredges ana
ateamshovels have been taking out the
dirt and rock much faater than it
alia into tho canal.
The Cuiebra Slide, juat to the loath
of the Cucaraoha trouble, is entirely
at rest and it is hoped it will remain
ao, but the canal engineera will watch
this treacherous hillside with some
anxiety as the rainy season ap
proaches. Breaks already are showing
far back from the canal prism and
these may indicate a movement which
plight any day precipitate tons of
crushed rock and dirt into the canal
tor the tireless dredges and steam-
ahoveis to remove. The coming wet
season will be likely to loosen any
thing ready to slide.
Dredgiicp and hydraulic operations
in the cut continue day and night.
Back of Gold Hill the hydraulic pumps
are washing away vast quantities of
loose soil greatly relieving the pres
sure which has forced so much of the
; into the canal prism. At tha toe
the slide the dredges have been
busily engaged in removing the dirt
out of the channel itself while far up
the side of the slide other hydraulic
operations are tearing at the very
heart of tha hill.
Within a short time two new large
dipper dredges will be engaged. These
are the largest yat built of this type.
One already has been received on the
Isthmus and is almost ready for oper
ation. At the same time the dredge
“Corozal” will begin deepening the
chthnel which now averages about 25
feet, to Gie required 45 feet
This deepening of tho channel, tho
engineer! believe, will be a tedious
operation, for the wrfgfit on the hill
sides at Gold, Cuiebra and Contrac
tors hills is constantly forcing tho
of the canal upward. It Is
ipa ted that this will continue un
til the weight on tho hillsides has been

According to figures Just compiled

I evade the extra duty that New Zea-

minister, rather than foreign mer

do everything in his power to prevent
the unscrupulous British merchant
from cheating the colonial public.
It is said that this form of contra

exporters of textile goods. Many of

mbsMt, because our debate will be the general subject of conversation for
many weeks to come. In fact, the equal suffrage movement has come to
stay, and the south is bound to face it sooner or later. The earlier she will
fall in line with the march of progress the less handicapped she will be in
her future struggle for recovering some of her past glory or political and
social leadership. The sooner our southern men realize that they need the
help of our southern women, and the sooner these southern women realize
that they need to give their help for the good of the whole people, the quicker
will our fair southland regain ita former prosperity, greatness and happiness.
Tonight’s debate in the city ball on equal suffrage and the following dis
cussion by people of the audience will help everybody to realize this need.
