THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1021. liuuVr Hruis WINDER, DA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Posfofflce at Winder, Georgia, as Second Class Matter. j. w. McWhorter Editor j, b. PARHAM Business Manager (j. Subscription Rates: In Advance One Year $1.50 Six Months 75 A Chamber of Commerce The News wishes to heartily second the suggestion made by Rev. L. W. Collins, pas tor of the Methodist church of this city, in an article published In this week's issue, written by Mr. Collins, in which he sug gests the organization of a Chamber of Com merce for Winder. The whole article breathes a spirit so necessary to the solu tion of our present difficulties that every bus iness man in Winder and Barrow county should read carefully and resolve to act in accordance with its suggestions. This is no time for live, red-ldooded men to croak and fall out of the struggle. As suggested by Mr. Collins, the “get-together” spirit is what is needed. Every farmer should resolve to make this crop as cheaply as possible, and every mer chant and every bank should resolve to help the farmers to make this crop to the extent of their ability. Cooperation is needed now as never before, and Winder and Barrow coun ty "ill win out in the present crisis if our people will only exercise this spirit. To lead in t lie creation of such a spirit, and in times of exigency, when questions that demand solution arise, this city needs v chandler of commerce to direct in solving these problems. There is enough intetlli gence in Winder and a sufficient spirit of co-operation among our people to solve these troublesome problems if we will only organize, come together and make our plans for meeting them. What is everybody's business is nohody's business and The News, in order to bring the question at once before our pimple, hereby nominates the cashiers of our three banks, Messrs. W. F. Hubbard, C. O. Maddox and Robt. J. Smith, as u commitee to make ar rangements for a meeting of the citizenry of our city in the near future looking to the or ganization of a chamber of commerce or board of trade for Winder. They are all excellent men, interested in the welfare of Winder and Barrow county and we feel sure they will lie willing to do anything in their power tii start the organization off well. The News will rejoice if they will accept the nominations. Young Men’s Bible Classes There is a class for young men in three of the churches of Winder that are doing a great work and every young man in the city should become a member of one of these classes. The best of religious thoughts are brought out every Sunday morning In the made upon those who attend that will do study of. Bible truths, and impressions are them good all along life's pathway. Every young man that wants to succeed in life should realize that no permanent success can be achieved in any vocation that is out of harmony with religious truths. Chris tianity is a valuable asset in helping us win out in the struggle for success and no oppor tunity (should l>e lost in acquiring those principles and attributes that we so much need in our every-day affairs. Truth, honor, efficiency, reliability, fair ness are the bedrock attributes of sueess, and these truths are ail exemplified in the religion of the Christ. He is the life and light of the world and when men are filled with life and light they are on the sure road to happiness and success. Lott the young men of Winder join one Let the young men of Winder ftioin one of these classes and reap the great benefits that are to lie derived therefrom. Georgia’s Railroad Commission. There is a whole lot of criticism going the rounds of the state just now about the ltailroad Commission of (lie state, on ac count of the Increase in the telephone rates a lowed the telephone company. While the News is not in a position to state whether tin* increased rates allowed the company arc fair or not, wo do not take any stock in charging the KailrcJad Commission in being partial to the tolephouo companies We feel sure that such men as Murphey Candler, Tattlj Trammell, Jim Terry ami Jim Trice can he depended on to take care t f the interests of the people. Let's get the inside facts before we condemn them. The Winder News heartily seconds tlie nomination of i'r. John 1). Mill, of Athens, for the presidency of the Southern Baptist convention that is to meet in May. lie is t!u> best parlimentarian in the South and will make that body a fine presiding officer. O aim of the best campaigns that A anta ha 4 begun recently is the one to clean the city of all loafers. This is a drive tl at every city and town in the state should p it on im mediately. Printing Material On account of the consolidation of The Winder News and The Barrow Times, we have a lot of splendid printing material for sale at bargain prices. None of the material we offer for sale is injured ; some of it never used. A list of the stuff we offer for sale appears on this page of this issue of the News. Look over it and if there is anything ji-iiu want let us know at once. The first check for any of it gets it. O * * No Editorial Page. Last week’s issue of The News went out to its readers without an editorial page. We got up a fine batch of editorials, the best we have ever written, chunked them over to the business manager, and left the office the bal ance of the week to move into our new home. After we left, an advertisement came in for which there was no room unless our edito rials were killed. Our business manager, lik,< all business managers, has a very high regard for advertisements, and considers editorials ns somewhat on a par with fill ers. As between an advertisement and our editorials, the latter hasn't a ghost of a chance in this office. So when the News goes out without an editorial page you know tin* business manager has an arm full of ads that lie snys are just obliged to go in. . o The Question of Labor We are afraid that our esteemed contem porary, The Journal of Labor, of Atlanta, being published under the auspices of the Atlanta Federation of Trades and Allied Unions, is not in a position to appreciate the desperate condition of the laborer who tills the soil, or the one who stands behind the counter. The News is a friend to the laborer, for Its entire force are daily workers, depending on their toil for a living. But we are a friend to all labor, and feel that it is not fair that one part of the toilers should thrive and fatten at the expense of another part. We appreciate the kind words in last week’s Journal of Labor in regard to the spirit manifested by the News in the discussion 0 f tlie question of a reduction of wages piad the employees of the Gainesville Mid land Railway, and assure it that our whole aim Is to try to present the question in a fair and impartial manner. Unionized labor should remember that there are other classes of labor that are just ns faithful and just as worthy as those rep resented by the Journal of Labor. And it is for these other classes that we are plead ing. Especially do we sympathize just now with the laborer who tills the soil. He is being ground tjo pieces between the low price of Ills products and the high price of the finished product that comes back to him after ids raw material has passed through the hands of those laborers represented by the Journal of Labor. AVe know of several farmers, who worked last year on halves, and who made three bales of cotton with their one plow. These three bales of cotton, with the seed, are not worth over $250. They also made SIOO worth of corn, SSO worth of sweet potatoes, S4O worth of syrup, SSO worth of forage, and SSO worth of other things. The total amount of the value of such a farmer’s labor together with that of his wife and children is $540. Take from this SSO for guano and there is left S4OO to be divided between the landlord and the tenant. 'Ha; worker’s part is $250. The Journal of Labor stated that we were much in error when we made the statement that “the income of hundreds of engineers in Georgia today for one month is equal to the income for the entire year of thousands of farmers in the state.” We are certain that we can find thousands of farmers in Georgia who did not make over $250 last year, farming on halves, and we also feel certain that there are hundreds of engineers in the state that make $250 per month and over. Are these laborers faring alike? Is' justice being done between them? AVe think not. And we repeat the state ment made in a recent editorial, in discussing this question, that uo organzation can stand in tills world, for long, that is unwilling to lie fair and just in its relations to its fellows in all lines of endeavor. Col. B. L. Bugg. receiver for the Atlanta, Birmingham ami Atlantic railway, announced Wednesday that train service on that line lms almost assumed a normal status, despite the strike of 1,500 or more of tlie union employees of the line, who w a iked out neailj two weeks ago. Tuhlie sentiment all alnog the line of the railway seems to be against the strikers. O Unemployment in the United States is seriously ineroasing. aeeordliig t othe depart ment of labor’s employment service announc ed Wednesday. The fellow that has a job now lmd better appreehite it. O We do not remember siieli a warm and pleasant March as the present mouth lias been up to the present time. ( > The farmers in this seetion of the state are up with their work and many of them have planted cotton. O The merehants of Winder are a live bunch. Through their efforts in an advertising way they are bringing trade to this city front many of the surrounding sections.
