days,
The presence of one thousand Geor
gia teachers in Athens from summer to
summer wonld be a great thing for the
basinees men of this city, and The Ban
ner believe* the bnsiness men appreciate
this fact.
Mrs. Marie Louise Myriok’s address,
delivered before the State Agricultnral
Society, a portion of which is repro
duced in The Banner today, was one of
the beet addresses delivered on that oc
casion.
The report of the meeting of the di
rectors of the Central Railway, pub
lished in another place in this issoe of
The Banner, does not indicate that it
W ill be necessary for this property to be
merged with any other to insare the
highest success
The Banner's dot contest has demon
strated the fact that this paper is a good
advertising medinm. If we can make a
great suocess ont of advertising onr own
badness in onr own paper, what ought
others be able to do? Our merchants
should think about this.
With the passing of summer, the men
who have labored in the fields will find
a little rest, bnt not eo with the women ;
they have their household duties in all
seasons. We should try to make their
burdens as light as possible. The worn
en are the salvation of mankind.
tmount of $r ) o,ooo should be issaed for
he puepose of erecting the new build
ing.
The Banner now predicts that the
vends will be oarried by a large plurality
m the election to be held next month.
No city in Georgia has grown like
Athens during the past few years. No
city will grow like Athens will from
this time forward if the spirit of progres-
sivene6s and enterprise which has been
manifested on the part of onr people for
that period oontinnes, and there is every
reason to believe that this will be the
case. The paving that has been done in
this city under a bond issue has helped
Athens wonderfully, as has the estab
lishment of the waterworks and the
sewer system. The oroedon of the new
city hail will be a distinct permanent
improvement that will dc a great deal of
good.
It appears that the slight opposition
that developed in the meeting of coun
cil Saturday to the proposition to erect
the new city hall came from the fuct
that some deemed it unwise to erect a
building as oostly as #5o 0(H) under con
ditions now existing. A little careful
study would, in tho opinion of The Ban
ner clear up the situation.
Within the next few months there
will be erected in Athens a government
building' to be used as the Athens post-
ollice and for the sessions of the United
States court. The Federal government
has appropriated $100,001 for this pur
pose and Congressman Howard has told
The Banner that this amount would be
materially increased before work on the
new building is completed. Ho tells ns
that the architect of the United Slates
government, in figuring on a building
for Athens, considering tne growth of
the city for the past few years and the
contemplated growth in the near future,
suggested that a building to cost $139,-
000 should be erected in Athens. It is
reasonable to suppose, in view oi these
„ •—,i.• • — somethin o
in this neighborhood, will be erected by
the Foderal government in Athens. No
matter which of the several sites sug
gested is selected by the government for
this handsome building, it will be lo
cated within a stone’s throw of the
present city hall, and where the now
city hall will be erected. Then should
we not erect on the oity's property a
city hall that will be something in keep
ing with this splendid structure to be
erected by the United Slates govern
ment? Should not we, the inhabitants
of Athens, figure on the past and future
growth of the city if a government
architect, who has probably never had
his foot on Georgia soil, figured on these
things in making an estimate for
building in this oity ? Should we put
up a building for a few thousand dollars
less than proposed by the report of the
committee, to meet the present de
inands and perhaps the demands for the
next five, ten or fifteen years, or should
we issue bonds for $30,000 aud erect a
bnilding that will be the admiration of
the present generation and serve all
purposes for the city administration for
decades to ecme?
Thos-' are the questions that the peo
ple are to answer on the 27th day of
next month. They should bn fri cly aud
fully discussed by every citizen of Ath
ens who has the welfare of the city at
heart. The Banner, looking .t .t in on
impartial manner, with an eye single
only to the good of Athens, believes
that the #50 000 bnilding is the thing to
decide on We believe the people will
never regret having erected a bnilding
such as proposed by the report of the
commUtee. We not only believe that
this should be done, but we firmly be
lieve that it will be done.
COL. W. A, HEMPHILL DEAD.
Colonel W. A. Hemphill, o distin
guished Georgian who was born in
Athens, and who Bpent his boyhood days
in this city, died at his home in Atlan
ta Sunday night.
Colonel Hemphill, with the iilustrouB
Grady, both of whom were bom and
reared in this city, have been responsi
ble, more than any other men or any
other forces, for the remarkable growth
of Atlanta Side by side for several
years those notable Athenians fought
for the upbuilding of their native Btate
and for the home of their adoption.
More than ten years ago the brilliant
Grady died while a million tongues
were singing his praises from one end of
the country to the other. Sunday Col
onel Hemphill who furnished the finan
cial backing for the eloquence of Grady,
quietly passed away, and to him more
than to any Georgian living today, ii
due the remaakable growth and devel
opment of the great state of Georgia.
Every appreciative Georgian willmonrn
the lys9 of those of his dear ones who
ate left behind, and especially will the
tenderest sympathy go out to the aged
mother, who resides in this city, and to
whose devoted watch care in the early
lays of the career of her distinguished
son, William Hemphill owed his re-
markable success.
