TELEPHONES: Business Olflc* 75. one ring Editorial Rooms ys. two rings 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. | J.

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. W e are Leaders.
