THE Americas Times Recorder observes
that some one in the good town of Athens
is preparing to lose mice sized wad of money
They are going to start third daily newspaper in
the Classic City" They have lot of politics and
factions in Athens and there is always demand
for more newspapers. Every faction wants its
newspaper spokesman. In the meantime the
the newspapers are so busy with factional
fights that they do very little in serving the
public interests. One newspaper is enough for
Athens, two is too masy and three is rank foolish
ness.
Those are the views of The Moultrie Observer
Editor Hugh Rowe has given Athens the best
small city morning paper in the South for going
on thirty years. All the assistance he needs in
informing and advising Athens and Northeast
Georgia people can be given by the one afternoon
paper that operates there now. A third paper will
prove useless and unremunerative expense to the
advertisers who must support all three sewspap-
ers and will make it more difficult for all the
papers to give good service to the CITY. Athens
is not big enough to support three papers and no
faction can expect to force the people of Athens
to forget the service that Editor Rowe and The
Banner has given them for so many years

I am in good health for the first

spected citizen of Manchester. N H.,

From the time l was bow I
couldn't sit down and eat meal
without being in misery afterwards
from indigestion. During all these
years | was afflicted with rheuma-
tism too. 1t was all over my body,
but especially bad in my feet and legs
and at times l couldn't get from my
bed to my chair without help. I was
almost a nervous wreck from all these
years of suffering and could not half
do my work. l hoped for nothing
more than temporary benefit from
Tanlac, as | believed it impossible for
any medicine to give me entire re-
lief, but this is exactly what Tanlac
has done
For the first time since I can re-
gest it without trouble. | haven't an
7ember I eat anything l want and di-
ache or pain and have put on ei

good all over and enjoy life as I never

test I do not hesitate to say that it is
the greatest medicine of the age for

SUES IN 2O-YEAR LOVE PACT
Milwaukee Woman Asks S4oc 600
Share of Memphis Mans Estate.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb 22.-Echoes
Of IL twenty-year romance were heard
in the federal district court with the
trial of Miss Mollie Quirk, Milwaukee
woman, for a 100000 share in the
estate of the late Patrick Kallaher, a
wealthy Memphis man. According to
Miss Quirk he vas under promise to
bcqueath her his fortune in return for
her promise not to wed during his
life time.
Miss Quirk said Kallaher won her
promise to marry him in 1892, while
she was a student in a Milwaukee
convent At that time Miss Quirk
was 16 years old and Kallaher was 80
Parental objections prevented the
marriage, Miss Quirk explained, but
during the twenty years which inter-
yencd until kallaher'S death in 1912,
his courtShip continued and both held
to the troth plighted in 1892, by mu-
tual understanding.
After Kallaher'S death, which fol-
lowed a long illness, during which
Mis- Quirk acted as his nurse, a claim
to his estate was set up in her behalf.
This was contested by relatives Of
Kallaher.

TO Give PART OF
THRACE TO TURKS
British and French Premiers
Urge Change in Treaty.
MEANS LOSS TO GREECE
Latter Protests, Declaring She Will
Yield None of Holdings Under the
Treaty.

London, Feb. 22.-Revision of the
treaty IF Sevres, so us to give Turkey
additional territory in Thrace, now
occupied by the Greeks, was decided
upon by Lloyd George and BRAND III
consultations, preceding the Near EaSi
conference here
This decision, before becoming eff
fecttve, however, requires the approval
of the allied colleagues of the French
premier and the British prime minis
ter.
According to this Eranco-BritiSft
agreement, the frontier line in Thracp
will be moved westward, extending
from En"S, on the Aegean, to Midia, on
the Black Sea. This would take from
Greece one-fOurth Of the territory she
now occupies there and add 1t to the
Constantincple district.
The Turks also, under this arrange
ment, are to be allowed representa-
tion on the internal commission CON
trolling COnstantin0ple.
The proposals thus formulated by
the two premiers will be submitted to
the conference as whole.
It is understood that Lloyd George
and BRAND arrived at the opinion, as
a result OF their consultations. that
the Greek question might be suscep-
tible Of a much Speedier settlement
than had been previously thought.
The premiers' impression was that
the Greeks would be satisfied with
proposals to be made regarding the
Smyrna district, hut that settlement
of the question of 'rhrace would be
more difficult. Kal0geropoulos. the
Greek premier, told Lloyd George he
had received message from his gov
eminent, saying Greece would yield
nothing of her present holdings under
the treaty of Sevres.
NJ. kalogerOpOul0S explained the
message was in answer TO q query he
telegraphed to Athens two days ago
asking if the instructions he received
on his departure still held.
BY invitation of the supreme council.
the Greek delegation met the members
of the council in the picture gallery
in St James Palace 10 give the Greeks
an opportunity to present their views
on the enforcement of the Turkish
peace treaty and the notifications Of
it which have been suggested. Lloyd
George presided, with Premier BRAND.
Count SfOrZa, Baron HayaShi, of ia
pan, and the various military experts
with them, facing VI. KalogeropouloS.
the Greek premier, Who was similarly
supported.
Little time was lost in preliminaries.
as the Greeks had earlier in the morn
ing met members of the supreme coun-
oil, and they were odd what Premiers
BRAND auC Lloyd George had agreed
upon. Premier kalogeron"ul"s then
placed tine Greek case before the con
ference Which, briefly, was fer enforce
ment of the Sevres treaty. He urged
the ability of the Greeks 20 crush the
Turkish Nationalist movement in An
atolia by short, swift advance from
Smyrna under plan Of campaign
drawn u1 by Colonel Ptolomee Sarrf-
yansin, sub-chief of the Greek general
staff in Asia Minor.
