START THE YEAR RIGHT.
1923 has passed out and today we
are greeted by the new year 1924,
with beight prospects and record
breaking business year. The year
just closed showed an improvement
in commercial circles over that of
1922. More cotton and foodstuff
•were raised and a general revival in
all lines of commerce was felt. The
country is in much better condition
than a year ago and there is no leas
on why this year should not end in
a restoration of normal conditions.
If we are blessed with a reasonable
crop and thep rice of cotton remains
near its v.alue, 1924 will go on re
cord as one of the best years since
the period of depression has been
upon ns.
There are many improvements and
developments we hsould look for
ward to for another year. First,
ur agricultural interests should be
put foremost and every aid possible
given to the farmers for increased
acreage in diversifying ard es
pecia'iy for food products. Next to
that, poultry, hogs and cattle raising
should come. This section has nev
*r raised a sufficiency of poultry,
eggs, butter, hogs, cattle to meet the
demand of the local market. The
farmer can at all seasons of the year
find a ready cash market for these
products, hile a reasonable acreage
of cotton should be planted, yet the
cotton grower should not allow the
high price received this year to blind
him and cause him to run wild on
coitou. No increase n acreage of
cotton should be planted this year.
Keep the acreage in reason and a
better price will be received for it
than that of last year.
Our commercial organization,®
should be planning for commercial
improvements and developments.
Manufacturing industries, building
operations of all kinds should be en
couraged and gone into by those who
have money to invest. The dawn
of a new era and a general revival
in alMinea is upon us and now is the
time to strike. The man who has,
rabney to invest will make no mis
take in planting in Athens real es
tate and buildings. The demand
is here for more homes and business
houses and the revenue from such
investments will amount to hand
some dividends.
Let us all plan for the new year
and work in harmony and coopera
tion for a record breaking era dur
ing the year 1924.
WAR GUILT.
Senator Owens, of Oklahoma,
Aiade a speech in the senate recently
in which he charged that the open
ing of secret archives in the chan
celleries of Europe had disclosed
that the Germans were not respon
sible for the outbreak of the 'car.
The next thing we will hear is that
King Albert, of Belgium, challenged
the Germans to come over and tac
kle his army. Did the senator ever
bear of Von Bernhardi, of th-- book
“Weltmacht oder Niedergang,” of
the perverted “Ueberinensch” idea?
Did he ever hear cf sabers rattle and
“blood and iron” threaU to the
poace »f the world and di the sena
tor ever see the map of the world
published by the Pan-Deutsche Bund
in 1921. On that map the state of
Oklahoma was colored red like Ber
lin. The title of the map was
“Deutsehiand und Deutsches Gebiet
in Jahre <1925,” which means Ger
many and German territory in 1925.
WHAT FRANCE HAS DONE.
The fact that the French franc is
deterioating has given rise to the
belief that France cannot pay its
picaent debts in gold unless it col
lects a targe part of it from Ger
many. There has been a good deal
p-H about the “invasion of the
Ruhr” and the bitter feeling which
obtains in Germany in consequence
of the effort of France to collect
what she thinks is due her from her
ancient enemy.
A writer in the Saturday Ev ening
Post acknowledges that there is a
strong desire for revenge in Ger
many, but says it is not increased or
diminished by the so-called “inva
sion of the Ruhr.” Germany could
not get herself together in twenty
years to fight France and there is
not anyp robability that England
and America will ever let her try.
It is noted that the value of
French obligations naturally declined

CHAMBER LAI N’S
COUGH REMEDY
Every i*> R friend
as the hope of any recovery from
Germany failed. But it is wonder
ful what France has done wit.i her
own country since the war. It is
enough to earn for her again the
sympathy of the world.
While Germany, “not one foot of
whose territory was wrecked by any
of the enemy ’shells,” has been
squealing over the reparations that
she is asked to pay, France has been
grimly, silently and efficiently at
work.
She has filled and leveled over
10,000,000,000 cubic feet of trench
es that not so long ago indented her
fields. She has bailed and removed
from her fields over 350(000,000
square yards of barbed wire. She
has collected over 1,000,000 tens of
abandoned shells. She has recon
structed over 20,000 miles of roads
that were shelled into unfitness for
traffic. She has restored to cultiva
tion more than 4,000,000 acres of
land that were torn by shells. She
has reconstructed and repaired over
20,000 factories that were wrecked,
and she has returned to their homes
more than 4,000,000 people who
were forced to flee from the war
area. “For all these things she has
paid with cash out as the pockets of
the French people, although Ger
many caused every penny’s worth of
these destructions.”

M ULES
Just received car fresh mules of the best quali
ties which means the best trade. We have always
bought the best mules shipped in this part of the
country. There has been very little money lost on
good mules.
We have the best state in the Union for mak
ing money in if the people use their intelligence
and intellect together with their labor in raising
cotton. We had one family of negroes who made
15 bales of cotton with two mule.s Used plenty of
fertilizer, pickd up squares, caught weevils in the
bloom, used poison and laid by at picking time.
The man who barely made a living before the
weevil came need not try raising cotton now. Ihe
man who hustled and made money then can still
make it. That’s the class of farmers we want to
sell mules to-

LIBERTY BELL TO BE
VISIBLE AT ALL HOURS
Washington, Deeaaiber 13.—0 f all
Ihe national ahrinas es patriotism
and prida in history in which this
nation abounds, the Liberty bell is
easily first, symbolizing as it does,
the very foundation of the nation,
and having clustered around it so
much of romance and of pride.
Hitherto the Liberty bell, in Inde
pendence hall, Philadelphia, hae only
been on view during a part of the
day. Now, however, it is announced
that the bell is to be further protect
ed by a wrought-iron grill, and il
luminated at night, so that the vis
itor who wants to see the historic
old relic, and imagine for himself
what it sounded like before it' was
cracked and when its voice sent the
■aii of liberty echoing around the
world and down the centuries, may
never be disappointed.

On comparison to the bride's end

«as the small part. However, his
luties are very divided and they
(tart with the fees for the marriage
icense. Also the clergyman and
lexton are paid by the groom. In
idditlon to these fees he must tip
‘.lie sexton if the church is opened
for a rehearsal. He must provide
:he marriage ring, the bride's bou
juet, tbe bouquets of the brides
maids, and if lie choses neckties and
{loves for his ushers. Then the
sroom sees that carriages are pro

Watch Well Your Bank Books
Whether one believes the rich should bear the govern
mental burdens of the poor through the medium of exces
sive taxation on large fortunes or feels that every man
should contribute a pro rata share of his income for the
support of the country, the fact remains that men of great
wealth have clearly demonstrated their power to block the
wheels of industry by removing capital from business en
terprises and placing it in non-taxable securities. Also it
now appears that in the Mellon plan of taxation, which
spells reduction, there appears to be a readiness on the
part of the men of millions to change front, put more
money into industry, and aid in restoring S greater pros
perity to the country. These are facts, not opinions,
i Every indication for the new year is bright. There
has been an unprecedented spending power displayed dur
ing the holiday buying season which reflects confidence in
the future. Merchants, of course, are ordering with great
caution, but this bespeaks rather a sound foundation of
the business structure, healthier than would be the whole
sale ordering of merchandise.
Most impressive of the signs of better times, however,
is the universal cheei’fulness of the utterances of big busi
ness men and financiers, the latter unquestionably enthused
over the*thought of a possible reduction in their enforced
payments to the government. They all look for sound im
provement, and every indication is that their belief will be
justified unless the congress by some unfortunate stroke
‘'spills the beans.”
The Secretary of Agriculture, after reviewing the dis
tressing conditions under which the farmers have labored,
states that the general agricultural situation is most grati
fying. Secretary Hoover sees the bright light ahead. Great
merchants are optimistic and Wals*Street smiles in hope
fulness poeeibly with the thought that the time is growing
nearer when aaaier money will lead the next batch of lambs
the slaughter. There has not been a Wall Street “clean
up” in a long time, and the wolvee are getting hrmgry.
Wfth prosperity staring us in the face it behoove* those
whe have saved a few dollars to beware. Possibly tome
fortunes may be made before long by the lucky and tha
daring, but history tells only one reliable financial story—
that es the tortoise and the hare.
A prison sentence for contempt of court seem? rather absurd. sines
no prison sentence can change a mental attitude, though it may compel
a man to lie about his sentiweats.

STUMBLING BLOCKS *
We feeble, unsophisticated Chris

Hocks that should be removed. *
The first is the stone of inactivity,
Inertia. There are more dead people
fitting in pews unburied thaa at any
terlod in the last hundred years.
>h, for a good live undertaker to
father up the corpses in the pews
if the churches and bury them —get
hem out of the way. Poor, strug

Inactive, the dead.
The stone of insincerity, or per
funetoriness, should be remoived;
jeople who speak in the mechanical,
perfunctory, insincere manner. The
very choice is mechanical, the whole
effort disgusting. We want people
ivho are on fire, who believe and

The stone of selfishness. Men
