A* POINTER FOR UNION POINT
The old Belle Green copper mine hear .Union Point has been
lying idle for many yeap. It was worked by the Confederate
government with more or less success and considerable copper ore
^ras taken frfm it. But finally they struck a water vein and the
pumps of those days could not cope with the stream that poured
forth ant| flooded the mine. So operations ceased and the mine
was abandoned—for a time at least.
Now, however,. modem pumps can doubtless pump a mine,
with the water coming in such a volume as that, dry without half
trying. If the ore is there in sufficient quantities and of suffi
cient richness to warrant it, the water will cut no figure. And it
Would not cost much to bring the electricity - from the nearby
shoals of the Oconee with which it could be operated cheaply.
Calcium arsenate is if by-product of copper and the demand
jfor it has grown so great for boll weevil poison, that-it is likely
that the price of copper will rise. Hence copper ores become more
valuable and ores that were formerly too poor to work, will now
show a profit. Tho owners <Jf the Belle Green property mitrht in
vestigate the matter and see whether or not they would like to
Venture to start operations. And there are a’ number of gold
mines in Columbia, Lincoln and Wilkes counties also, whose out
puts have gold in conjunction with arsenical pyrites. We would
like to see u revival of the mining industry in this section and it
may be that it will pay to operate them, both for the yellow' metal
they will yield as well as the insecticide they will produce.

WHY -TIMES ARE BETTER
Adequate justification for the spirit of optimism over im
proved business conditions that is manifest in all parts of the
country 1 , h* found in the big increase of the country’s 1922 crop
values over those of 1921—this year’s production showing an in
crease in value of nearly two billion dollars over last year. And
while only one factor among a number of influences that have
contributed t^ bettex- times, the crops production is perhaps of
more interest in the south than elsewhere, this being a largely
Agricultural section, and when crop values show a substantial in-
^fcjcase, tHe* effect Is naturally felt in all lines of endeavor. * ^ ;
The Manufacturers’ Record has published a very compfe-.
hensive analysis of .this year’s crops and their value, showing
which crops have contributed most towards boosting the grand
total value of this year’s harvest. The Record’s analysis'follows:
“Based bn production and value as of December 1, the Agri
cultural Department announces in its final report for the year
5 that e value -of the country’s crops this year will be $7,572,890,-
:'000 $1,842,000,000 more than the value of the -1921 crops. This
^increase is reflected in stronger prices for farm products this
year compared with 1921 prices, anti also increased production in
nidihe crops. . •*' * •
„ . “The value bf th6 1922 crops, however, is but a little more
than half the- reported value of 1919, and $1,540,000,000 less than
^920 crop values. In fact it is the smallest in value of any
year since 1915 excepting 1921. One redeeming feature, however
W that ost of the crops were produced at greatly reduced cost
[fttlxtlpared with the expensive farming operations of the last few
Stew*- This of Course will enable farmers to meet some of their
TflMtstanding loans which were carried over fropi 1920 and 1921,
i ~ even if t will not leave an extra large surplus for spending.
•‘Cotton this year, valued at $1,190,761,000, based on DecAm-
jj%f}ces, is the fourth largest in point of value of any cottoft
ip, but the second smallest in production in 21 years. Elsewhere
this issue will be found a detailed statement of this year’s
cotton with comparisons.
“From Texas comes the report that the cotton crop has
Ught to that state mere than $370,000,000 and is serving to
^create more prosperity than has been felt for several years. This
pneyal over the South. Another thing contributing to the. pros-
[ty ,bf the cotton farmers is that of cheap labor. Tho cost of
ing and of field work generally was far below that of last
Vfthd was. back to a pre-war basis. The low price paid labor
Explains in large measure the recent exodus of negro faym labor ,
to the. industrial centers outside of the South. Money from the
;qn crop is finding its way into all channels of trade and in
try.-The Texas report states that one noticebalc effected? the
umed prosperity of the farmers is that there is taking place a
iva\ in the demand for. land. Farm values are said to be on the
ra'rd trend, and mercantile interests arc recovering from the
iod, of depression jvhich hovered over the country.
^^ijflCorn, of which the South produces about a third of the
kcpuptry’s total crop, continues the most valuable crop of the na
tion, with an increase this year over last of $603,000,000,' ap
proximately $200,000,000 of this increase in corn crop value go
ing into ths South.
‘.‘Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, hay, and rye, show record
ictions this year. The rice crop this year is the third largest. 4
produced; tobacco is the fourth largest; wheat the fifth
ei crop, and corn the soventh largest. •
“Compared with the November *1 estimate by the Govern
ment, its December report shows a reduction in the corn crop of
about 5,300,000 bushels and 14,273,000 bushels reduction iiv pftfr.. '
December estimate for cotton is 171,000 bales less than reported
*Tri ! ’November. However, increases were rportd for winterjwhea^,
45,000,000 bushels; jspring. wheat, 1,700,000 bushels; rye,5
000 bushels; buckwheat, 1,407,000 bushels; rice 2,806,000 bushels; *’
potatoes 17,280,000 bushels; hay 4,055,000 tons and kafirs or grain
Foifchums,.8,893,000 bushels. f
“The production of all grain, estimated as of December 1,
mounts to 5,408,660,000 bushels, compared with 5,3IB,9^7,000.^
ushels produced in 1921. The value of ; this year’s aggregate-
grain crops, as of December 1 prices • is‘$3,566,963,0(

NEW YEAR
My friend. Says he expects odr
Athens merchants the coming
year, to do one of the most satis
factory trades in the commercial
history of our City. Their sales
may net be so large, but they d>
not risk losing their capital. But
a good trade is assured for Ath
ens as our city Is the business and
trading center of a rich and thick
ly settled agricultural country an?l
surrounded by fine towns, all of
which are. practically suburbs to
Athens and deal with us. AH of
these people must be fed, clothed
and have their daily needs Sup?
plied, and this will give us a nice
trade. While many farmers are
hard run, the country is not bnoko,
and eliminating cotton side crops,
like chickens, eggs,, and food crops •
that mature even* month during
the year will keep trade moving.
.Then consider our manufacturing
enterprises, all in Operation
Athens is foupded on the bed •
rock ct enduring, prosperity and
you can’t. place enough weight on
the town to keep it down. Many
new buildings, will go up the com-,
ing ye&r, and give employment to
labor. If you read the papers
you will see that plenty cf money
is ready for-loan on city real es
tate and also .farming lands.
So let us^ all start the $Jew. Year
with hope. Athens has,, seen and
weathered far worse flmee than are
4'now upon us. There have been
panics on the^ (country ( when . you

estate deals can be enumerated.
Farmers have walked the streets
of Athens with samples of cotton,
hunting buyers for four or five
cents- per pound and begging for
credit to make another crop, ns
they had nothing to feed thmsclves
or stock. Within my memory I
have seen far worse and more
gloomy times in Athens than are
now upon us. Our merqjmnts the
