Tlie program was better than the average program at a state meeting.—Commerce News. Yes, and any meeting of the Ninth District Press or the State Press would lie incomplete without the genial, jovial, versatile and able editor of the Com merce News. It’s a great privilege to enjoy the fel lowship of such men. 0 l Athens ,New Daily Paper The Athens Daily News, Athens' new daily paper, will begin publication about September 232nd. It will carry the full leased wire service of the United Press, full market report, live local and district news, for eign news, sporting news and society news. The ma chinery is being installed and everything is being made ready for the new enterprise. Tlie new paper has been very fortunate in tlie se lection of those who will conduct its destinies.

Everything in the world has its price. No good can come of such a gathering as was held on the night on which the trag edy occurred. Whether he is guilty or not, one life was taken to pay for the dissipation of the occasion, and if Arbuckle is proven guilty, his life too, may be demanded as a further price of the carousal. Some of these days, probubly in the far distant fut ure, men and women may learn that it pays to be decent, upright, moral, to regard their fellowman and to fear God. ' L U...1* m o The Eighth District Editors Ye Editor thoroughly enjoyed last Saturday in Athens mingling with the editors of the Eighth dis trict and the hospitable citizens of that splendid city. Athens is a great city, live, hosptable and progressive. .She has a splendid chamber of commerce with E. W. Carroll, an all round tine character, as secretary. He is wide-aweke to every movement that affects the growtli of his city. A splendid program had been prepared by Editor Ernest Camp, of Monroe, the pres ident of the association. The address of Mr. M. G. Michael, one of Athens’ leading merchants, was es pecially strong and impressive. The addresses of wel come by Mayor Andrew C. Erwin and Mr. Albrt Da vison. another prominent merchant of that city, were very cordial and made all feel that the city was glad to have the visitors with them. The dinner at the State Normal school was fine, and Hon. Jere M. Pound, the president of this great in stitution, is doing a work there that is proving a tremendous agency for the enlightenment and culture of the womanhood of Georgia. Every visitor was charmed with the splendid hospitality accorded them. The State Normal is a potent factor in the education al activities of Georgia, and its president and facul ty are to he congratulated on the great work they are doing. There is no better school in the South, and the hundreds of girls who annually attend the insti tute n prove that it is abundantly meeting the needs of the people along this line. Costa, the ice cream man, known throughout this section by everybody, placed the editors under obliga tions to him by his kind and thoughtful hospitality He has a great business, and it is constantly growing. We thank tin* Eighth district boys for the kind invitation to he with them and for the pleasant day. We thoroughly enjoyed it. O Free School Books. It is quite evident to every observer that the ten dency of the times is toward socialism. “Free things” are attractive propositions to the average human mind. But in the end they are the most costly and destructive “things" we can have. There is no truer expression in Holy Writ than “Every man shall hear his own burden.” Yet, there is no doubt, but that the desire of most people is to shift this burden upon the shoulders of others. The Commerce News, in discussing this question, says: “This is an age when many people are demanding something for nothing. Lawless people who ure bur glarizing mercantile establishments and robbing banks belong to this class. They want something for noth ing. Many people who belong to our churches want salvation free. They want to go heaven when they die. but they want to ride in on flowery beds of ease. Under our present system every child in the state of school age can be admitted to the school room ab solutely free of tuition during the public school term. It does seem that the state lias gone as far as it should in that direction. And even if further freedom is granted, certainly there is no reason or common sense in providing free books for children whose par ents are well able to buy them. If there are orphans or children of widows who are not able to buy books, and if these children will be denied an education on that account, and if those in the community have not enohgh interest in this class of children to procure books in some way, theu it might be well for the state to furnish hooks to this unfortunate class of children.” The Winder News believes that everything in this world lias its price. Moreover, we believe it is de structive to human effort and human progress for any one to enjoy anything without paying for it. Gifts are dangerous. They make beggars and weaklings out of people. The right kind of a man doesn’t want anybody to give him anything. He wants to bear his own burden and keep off of his fellowmen. He wants to be a real mnn. This is the spirit that wins out in the world. We need to cultivate it. Just as the Commerce News says, “Give us free school teachers, free school houses, free books, free trucks to haul the children to school, and after awhile will want free clothes, free food, freedom from taxa tion and freedom to do as we please." O Winder’s cotton market is still standing right at the top. Her cotton buyers are the most alert and progressive in the state, and every farmer that brtugs his cotton here Is assured of getting the top of the market for it. Winder’s reputation as a cotton mar ket is constantly broadening and bales of the fleecy staple from distant sections are flindlng their way here to be marketed. O The article by Hon. John M. Williams. In this issue of the News, is alright. Head it and profit thereby.
