GET TOGETHER.
If ever there was a time in the
history of the South when there was
need for serious thought about our
problems, surely that time is now’. The
land ps full of bitterness and strife,
class arrayed against class, city nguinst
country, farmer against consumer,
labor against capital. This condition
has arisen not altogether thru the pro
fiteering and gambling spirit, which
has come to us as a legacy of the last
few years, but largely thru misunder
standing, and I venture to suggest a
remedy, without which our whole land
will be plunged into utter ruin. It is
a very simple one, just “get together.”
Does the merchant or the landlord
or the banker feel that he can stand
if the farmer is unable to plant a crop
during the coming summer? On the
other hand, does the farmer or laborer
think ho can ride upon the high places
if railroads and banks and houses of
merchandise are forced to the wall?
It is an old saying that no “man liveth
to himself.” And there was never
truer than today. We all need each
other, terribly. We need each other's
confidence. It is a time for patience,
and a time for co-operation, and lack
ing this, the South faces calamity such
as it has never known.
There is a curious thing about human
nature, that is the consequence of a
lack of true religion. It is a lack of
faith. Just as when cotton was 45c
a pound, we all thought it never could
tumble again; so now that it has reach
ed the bottom, we are sure that it never
will rise again. The man who has
faith today is the man who is laying
the basis for a future fortune. There
never was such a time to buy cotton,
to buy land, to buy anything. It never
can be any lower. It is bound to rise.
It has never failed yet! There was
never such a time to help finance the
raising of a crop, or the helping tide
over a fellow man or a business. It
will be repaid a hundredfold.
We have found out that without the
markets of Europe, we are financially
ruined. Labor has found that without
capital, there must he untold suffering.
The farmer and the merchant have
discovered that one cannot exist with
out the other. When we lose confidence
in each other, we all suffer. Society
stands or falls together. If there is
not a good crop next year, it is not only
the farmer who will suffer. The whole
South and every man in it will feel
the result.
AV*uit is the remedy? Let every right
thinking man feel that this is a time
for compromise. We must live and
let live, or we shall all suffer together.
Why should not Winder have a Cham
ber "of Commerce that could direct such
a movement? In saving others, we
shall save ourselves, and if anybody
knows any other way of commercial
salvation, let him speak. The golden
rule will solve more than moral and
religious problems. It is our only hope
of commercial salvation now.
The world's markets will he wide
open again in six months. There is
very little over production. The wheels
of industry are going to turn, and a
mortj'volid prosperity is in our keeping,
if we are willing to have just a little
faith and confidence in ach other and
in God.
The man in the parable said “Have
patience with me and 1 will pay thee
all.” Because he would not, his Lord
would not. and he was delivered to
the If lie had had patience
all the debts would have been paid.
Let us have more faith in the manhood
of the South, in the future of our coun
try. in the goodness of God.
There are good times coming if
we'll only pave the way for them by
mutual confidence, industry and thrift.
This is what saved us before, in the
Sixties, and it will save us again.
Let us get together'.

NOTE OF THANKS
No words can express the gratitude
of my heart for the kindness of friends
and neighbors during my recent ill
ness. Many a lonely hour was brigh
tened by the messages and
flowers that came from friends, fel
low-workers in the church and Sun
day school class. It is not easy to pass
thru such an ordeal, but it is a reve
lation and a blessing to know of all
the sympathetic hearts there are in
Winder. Above all I wish to thank
those who remembered me in their
prayers before and during my opera
tion. It was to this that I attribute
my recovery.
Home looks mighty good to me, and
Heaven will not seem any brighter
that Winder did on my return from
the hospital.
1 only wish that all of you may have
the same experience if you are called
to pass thru such a trial. May God’s
blessings rest upon you all.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE OF
JOHN A. J. MCDONALD, BORN IN
THE YEAR 1846 AND DIED 1921
Following an attack of Influenza
which caused a steady decline in health
for the past year, John A. J. McDonald
passed away at his old home in Chan
dler's district, March 3, 1921. He bore
his affliction courageously, aud with
marked degree of patience, trusting
in God, and waiting to be released
from his suffering.
Funeral services held by his former
pastor, J. H. Wood, assisted by It. W.
Haynie, a neighbor and life-long friend,
were attended by multitudes of old
friends and neighbors who called to
show their respect for hil and to ex
press their sympathy for the family.
He was born Decemben 5, 1346, and
on November 17, 1872, was married
to Miss Laura A. C. Robertson. To
this happy union, nine children were
born, a son, and daughter passing on
in infancy, and a grown son a few
years ago. There remains, besides his
widow, two sous and four daughters
who will rise up to call him blessed.
Some thirty-five years ago he identi
fied himself with the Christian church
and wms faithful till death. He has
left his widow and children a legacy
of noble Christian example which is
to be valued more than an earthly es
tate.
May the memory of this noble hus
band and kind, considerate father be
as a benediction to our lives.

Her Money Was Gone!
An old woman who lived alone had kept nearly $2,-
000.00 in currency around her house for years. She was
afraid of banks.
Last fall she became seriously ill, and .
No, she didn’t die. But when she went to look for the
cash it was gone! Fortunately some honest friend had
found it while she was unconscious and had deposited
it to her credit in a bank.
This woman has now decided that after all the bank is
the safest place, and, besides, her money is not idle any
longer. It is now earning 5 per cent for its owner.
Let us put your money to work for you.
