The troubles in the mining dlstriots
are growing every day and the price of
ooal continues to increase.
The newspapers in all parts of Geor
gia are saying nioe things about Athens
and our educational institutions.
The lily whites are taking hold of the
Republican party reins In North Caro
lina. The brother in blaok is told t(
take a back seat.
The Banner Is very much pleased at
the manner in which the people of
Athens have been contributing to the
fund for the summer school.
President Roosevelt is comiDg South
on a speech making tour with the hope
of adding new converts to the Repub
lican faith. He will probably tell us
what the recent Republican congress
failed to do and why.
There shonld be no talk directed at
the proposed new city hall. The city
oonncll, by almost a unanimous vote,
has said that it is a good thing, and as
this body is composed of some of the
best business men in Atnens their judg
ment can be relied upon.
The proposed railaoad for Athene to
oonnect with Jefferson would be a great
Ihibg. The Banner has been setting
ont the advantages of such a road for
several months, and we propose to keep
striking here until some definate action
is taken to insure the suocess of the
movement.
The State Normal School, at Athens,
opened last week under bright prospects
with an Increased attendance. Under
the able management of Prof. E C.
Branson this has grown np to be one of
the foremost schools in the state. More
dormitory and olass room is needed, and
the ooming legislature shonld see to It
that an appropriation Is made to cover
the needed improvements there. Dan-
ielsvllle Monitor.
a Florida paper says that- a coroner's
jury in Georgia delivered the following
original verdict on the death of a mer
chant who failed in business : "We, the
jury, find from the doctor’s statement
that the deceased came to his death from
heart failure, superinduoed by business
failure, which was caused by failure to
advertise, whloh was the result of fall-
nre to see far enough ahead."
An instance of where small things
count is shown by the Omaha Bee in the
following : "The Standard Oil trust has
advanced the price of gasoline 1 cent a
gallon. That wonld seem very lnsig
nlfloant. The railroads proposed to ad
vanoe the wheat rate 1 oent per 1,000
pounds. That also seems a trifling in
crease. Bnt when these pennies all
drop Into the corporation slot they will
amount Into millions and millions.”
COMING TO THE SOUTH.
There has been a great deal of exag
geration regarding the employment of
;hild labor iu the cotton mills of the
South and much of the outcry indulged
u bv the Eastern newspapers is due to
the fact tha: the mills of that section
are moving to the South because by
reason of the natural advantages en
joyed by the Southern mills those of the
North are nnable to compete with them
i 1 cheapness of product, says an ex
change. yuite a stir, for instance, has
been caused by the plight of the town of
New Hartford in Connectioot which has
wen practically mined by the removal
of a single mill engaged in the produo
tion of cotton duck and which employed
TOO bands and distributed (18,000 weekly
in wages. This company determined to
remove its business to the South, to
Alabama, and gave as a reason the pos
sibility of obtaining cheaper labor, In
cluding child labor.
The mills are now being dismantled
and more than 700 people have left New
Hartford. This instanoe has furnished
an occasion for much talk in the news
papers against the South for tolerating
child labor in its mills. If the practice
was as general as the Northern papers
allege the condemnation wonld be rea
sonable, but an effort Is being made to
have the public believe that the North
ern mills would be able to compete sac
cessfully with those of the South were it
not foi the employment by the latter of
child labor. The truth is, however,
adult labor, suitahle for mill work,
cheaper in the South because thejeoet of
living is less than in the North and the
Southern mills would still hold the
whip hand if not a single child was em
ployed in them. The real 1 anse of the
agitation in the North is the unmistak
able decline of the cotton manufacturing
industry there and its rapid progress in
the South as is witnessed by the number
of uew mills being erected and the en
largement of the old ones. This i6 the
milk that is souring in the Eastern co
coannt.
While the South is being condemned
because some child labor is employed iu
some of its mills, condemnation Bhonld
be visited upon those mill owners of
New England who are removing their
plants to the Southern States for the
avowed purpose of taking advantage of
the opportunity, if it is offered, to em
ploy and oppress child labor, but this
view of the case does not seem to pres-
ent itself to the Northern newspapers.
The removal of the mill from New
Hartford is merely another index that
the ootton and many of the iron indus
tries of the East and North will be com
pelled to remove to the South, not be
cause of the possibility of employing
child labor, but for a dozen or more
economical reasons which cannot be ig
nored. The Sonth can easily concede
the abolition of child labor and still
doable discount the North, in the near
future, as the logical locality of cotton
and iron industries.

THE OIL FEVER.”
Mr. Wattenon’s declaration that he
will not be a candidate for governor;
that the political paoe in Kentnoky is
too wicked and too hot for a man who
is virtuous bnt who has knowledge of
the way* and methods of the sinfnl, the
staid and solemn old Springfield Repub
lican is reminded of the following cele
brated stanza and relaxes its stern New
England countenance long enough to re
peat it:
Song birds are the sweetest
In Kentnoky;
Thoroughbreds the fleetest,
In Kentnoky;
The mountains tower proudest.
Thunder peals the londect.
The landscape is the grandest—
And polities the d—dest,
I In Kentnoky.
The Philadelphia Record, which prob
ably speaks from experience, declares
that the oil fever is a well marked dis
ease. It also says that the people of
Texas and Louisiana have all the symp
toms as well as the predisposing canse,
and in proof of this assertion submits
the following paragraph from the New
Orleans Picaynne:
The Southern oil field is just begin
ning to be opened. It is going to prove
as vast as any ever fonnd or that is pos
sible. The Southern oil field on the
shores of the Mexican Sea will rival,
and doubtless surpass, In productivity,
the Russian Held, on the shores of the
Caspian, with the advantage that oar
•ea is open to the ships of the whole
world, while the Caspian is an inclosed
Asiatio lake. The possibilities of oar
oil field are beyond all computation, and
they challenge the imagination to pic
ture them as they are going to be real
ized.
