By the way, anion depot? what abont the new Athens is growing faster than any other oity in the state. A “wet or dry” election will be hold In Sumpter county Thursday. Those who expected to find it a politi cal barbeoue were badly disappointed. The mayor's raoe in Atlanta is get ting things so badly mixed that its hard tj tell who’s who. The Banner is hopeful that the com Ing general assembly will appropriate $50,000 for the State Normal School. It is our prediction that the Freeman case is going to shake matters np in the convict lease system before the next legislature. The indications point to a large at tendance at each of the ednoational in stitutions of Athens this term. This count* fur a great dual —- Kvarr tying** at -..doultT contribute to the fond for the summer sohool. It will help Athens and will benefit each merchant individually The dots are out for the present, but keep your eye on The Banner. \Ye are going to give the people something else that they will appreciate in a few 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. cl Itching Humors through tho cists Nothing to try It.
