ANNUAL B, Y. P. U. CONVENTION
IN ATHENS
The 28th annual B. Y. P. U. Conven¬
tion formally opened at the first Bap¬
tist church, in Athens, Wednesday
night.
The huge congregation of 1200 dele¬
gates and visitors opened the confer¬
ence services by singing “Loyalty to
Christ’”,
The convention was welcomed by the

kinson. The response was given by Rev.

ATHENS GENERAL HOSPITAL
GIVES BARBECUE
The Board of Directors of the Athens
General Hospital have issued through
Mr. E. W Carroll, Secretary of the
Board of Trade, invitations to partake
of a barbecue on the hospital grounds
in Athens at 1:30 o’clock, Saturday,
June 24th.
The News is grateful for the remem¬
brance.
MR. AND MRS. POLLY TICK
When the curtain rises on the open¬
ing scene the audience beholds Father
Time and Dame Fashion discussing the
approaching fashions for men and wo¬
men. Father Time reads in his record
book of girls in hoop skirts and poke
bonnets as in the days of long ago; and
Dame Fashion sees in her crystal ball
men in ruffled trousers and frills, all of
which will be portrayed in an ensemble
of music composed of the entire cast.
The time is 1975. The women, since
getting the ballot have taken the reins
of government and gradually exchanged
places with the men. The women now
dress in mannish clothes and attend to
practically all the business, leaving the
men at home to attend to the house¬
work, sewing, darning, nursing, etc.
The married men dress in frills and fur¬
belows, and seem at the beginning of
the play to have lost all their mascu¬
line habits and to have surrendered all
their male attire except their pants, to
which they hold with bulldog tenacity.
In the first act, the women go off to
the lodge, leaving the men behind. The
neglected husbands get together for a
knitting party. Billy Lawson, who still
retains his masculine dress, drops in
to chide his friends about the shackles
they are wearing and is told that after
he is married he will surrender his free¬
dom just as they have done. This brings
on an argument, during which Sullivan
O'Brien rushes in with the startling
news that the women are planning to
send Daisy Anne Gray to Congress so
as to pass the Anti-Trouser bill. After
the meeting the emancipated women
march in armed with brooms and in mil¬
itary style present them to the men. The
act closes with a rousing chorus.
The second act opens with an ensem¬
ble of music showing a house-cleaning
scene in which Tick is assisted by his
married friends. While they are in the
midst of the scrubbing, in comes Billy,
announcing that he is about to start a
movement which will overthrow the
petticoat government, in which plan the
men join heartily. Just as the house
cleaning begins again. Sullivan O’Brien
comes in announcing that Senator Zella
Highbrow, the author of the anti-trous
er bill, speaks to the women that even¬
ing. whereupon the men devise a plan
to keep Senator Highbrow from the
meeting and at the same time stage
their revolution.
The development of the scheme comes
in act three. The voting precinct where
the women have planned to bring about
the climax of their triumph is stormed
by the men. Then follows an exciting
controversy. The result of this we can
not disclose, but suffice it to say that
all ends happily.
The grand finale is a beautiful chorus
featuring the entire cast.

It is advertising of some sort that turns the trick, and so he
continues to advertise and keep on advertising, year after
year, realizing that his success in business depends upon
honest and attractive advertisements.
If it will pay the manufacturer and the merchant to
advertise, it will pay towns and cities to advertise. If it is
ihe desire of the people of any community that their town
or city grow and prosper, and become a town of importance
in the state, thev must necessarily send broadcast the in¬
formation that will attract the business man, the manufac¬
turer and the desirable citizen. Its Chamber of Commerce
must take an active interest in the movement and act in be¬
half of the town as a whole.
Our community has much to offer „ the manufacturer.
We have good transportation facilities, and we have the
best town in the state in many ways. We have good schools,
churches, a good health record, a clean town history, unsur
passed fire and police protection, good water, and a citizen¬
ship to be proud of.
Realizing all this, we do not want to continue to hide
our lamp under a bushel’'; we want others to share our
prosperity, our hopes and our ambitions.
We have much to offer. Our tax rate is low, and to those
who will come here and develop any kind of business that
will employ labor we will give an assurance of fair and just
treatment. We will be liberal in many ways, and we will
guarantee the moral support of the community.
We have room here for many industries. We have a
high class of citizenship that assures the very best of labor,
and in our healthy and genial surroundings others will find
a welcome, whether they come here to do business or to
make a permanent home here.

VERSITY OF VIRGINIA
Misses Natalie Turner and Caroline

Virginia, to attend the University sum¬

A stay at this noted institution will
be both profitable and pleasurable.
$1.50 Per Year in Advance
SHALL, WE CONSERVE AND PRO¬
TECT OUR TIMBER RESOURCES?
We take pleasure in publishing a
statement from Mr. C. B. Harman, of
Atlanta. Mr. Harman has been a prac¬
tical lumberman for thirty years, and
thoroughly knows what the conserva¬
tion of our forests means.
We have no records regarding our
hardwoods, but using the government
reports, we figure that the present stand
of PINE saw mill timber, short and
long leaf, in the state of Georgia, is
worth, on the stump, approximately
one hundred million dollars. Add to this
the value of the hardwoods, fire and
pulp wood, fence post, telegraph poles,
cross tie, box, turpentine, crate, basket
and timber suitable for other purposes,
and we have represented a very large
sum of money.
But how long will this last or supply
us, even partially, if we continue to cut
it, down at the present rate, ruthlessly,
unscientifically, carelessly, and un
thoughtedly?
Some authorities say our supply will
last but ten years, others say fifteen
and some twenty-five years.
The official forester at Washington,
D. C.. informs us that the south and
especially the state of Georgia is better
adapted and can grow them quicker
than any other section in the United
States.
It takes no figures and no argument
to prove that our grand old forests of
Georgia are practically gone. Reflect
back to just a few years ago, and recall
what was seen most everywhere, and
then look around now; farms and out
over lands full of stumps are in evidence
everywhere.
We were compelled to cut down nut
trees and make them into lumber, and
to actually destroy much of it, in order
that we might build up our state and
enlighten our people. Our citizens have
enjoyed the benefits at low cost, while
many of the lumber men have prosper¬
ed by it. The citizens of Georgia have
prospered abundantly through our tim¬
ber resources.
But we have now arrived at the dead
line, and are offering our advice and ex¬
perience of thirty years as a lumberman
as a warning or notice, with the hope
that it may serve a good purpose at
this time.
Unless we take some concerted ac¬
tion without delay we shall, in the near
future, face not only a shortage of lum¬
ber hut a much higher cost; the law of
supply and demand will apply here the
same as for anything else.
The Georgia Forestry Association,
with headquarters in Atlanta, has been
organized to serve as the ways and
means of a full and complete study of
the matter and for the purpose of bring
ing about such definite action as seems
necessary .
At this time it seems that protection
from fire will serve to a greater extent
than anything else toward reproduction
or reforestation, but there is much that
can be done by our farmers in growing
wood lots on their waste lands as short
leaf pine will be in big demand for
pulp wood since it has been proved
that paper can be made from it. and if
our farmers will get wise to the situ¬
ation and act quick, their wood lots of
one to five acres, grown on waste land,
will bring in handsome returns in a
very few years.
FIVE CITIES WANT NEXT CONFED
ERATE REUNION
Richmond.—Five of the largest eitie
in the south will bid for the Confederat
reunion of 1923.

BIG BARBECUE BY BIGGERS
FAMILY
An old-fashioned Georgia barbecue,
was given by the Biggers family at
their annual reunion Wednesday.
The grove near the home of Mr. W.
M. Biggers was the scene of this pleas¬
ant affair. Some fifty members of the
Biggers and Adams families with a few
outside friends participated. A bounti¬
ful picnic dinner was served with the
barbecue.
PROF. BROOKS GOES TO TECH
HIGH SCHOOL

successfully at Washington, and was

lic school, from which he obtained his
release, has accepted a position as in¬
structor of Mathematics at Tech High
School, Atlanta. This is deserved recog¬
nition of Mr. Brooks’ ability. His friends
congratulate him upon his success.
THE MEMORIAL FOR OUR
NEWTON COUNTY SOLDIERS
Sergeant Newton Chapter of the D.
A. R. began last summer to raise funds
with which to make a lasting memorial
for the men of Newton county who
served in the World War. The chapter
feels that there is not a citizen of New¬
ton county who would not be willing to
contribute something to this worthy
cause. We take this manner of bringing
the matter before the people of Newton
county. When we think what these men
did for our protection against the Ger¬
man hordes, can we fail now to honor
them?
This memorial we want to he a lov¬
ing testimonial from the citizens of
Newton county, and what a wonderful
testimonial to these men would i. be
should every man, woman and child
give something to this cause.
The most beautiful cathedral of Paris
was built by the contributions of the
men, women and children of the dio¬
cese. so let this memorial be a loving
gift from all the people of the county.
Mrs. J. E. Philips, as treasurer of the
chapter, will be most happy to receive
any gift for this cause.
