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 t*ONCHITIS „ Leaves a bad cough. So does flu and la grippe. But these lingering coughs yield easily to the healing and curative qualities of 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.” IN BANKRUPTCY.

O. C. FULLER, Clerk. 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- Duluth Mule Co. E. H. McGEE, Mgr., Duluth, Georgia. DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY.

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. fo'noseafathfoa! mmm S&re Relief FOR SICK BABIES LIQUID-NO OPIATES For Bowel and Teethinq Troubles.

On comparison to the bride's end if a wedding financially, the groom «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.

(T) r t Ag.- 1 ° j AJTP SEE A CUUiP^^^^^J 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.
