PARHAM Business Manager Subscription Rates: In Advance One Year $ l5O Six Months 75 Crime Uncovers Itself One of the finest laws that permeates this universe is thut which we find in the nature of every criminal. He lacks the ability to conceal himself for long. This would he a wretched world if crime had the ability of concealing itself. In every criminal Im pulse there is imbedded a lack of power to conceal itself from the public. Every criui- inal is a foolish person and fools are not wise enough to hide their deeds. Wisdom is the companion of justice, righteousness, up rightness, fair dealing. The Creator could not afford to give wisdom to the unjust, the unrighteous, the evil minded. Humanity could not survive in such a state. When a man begins to nurture a criminal impulse in his mind, he lets in with it the spirit of the simpleton. Crime and simple-mindedness are interwoven. They cannot lie separated. If you are looking for wisdom you must go to strong, just, fair, upright men. They know how to do things and they know how to succeed in their undertakings. The Jasper county affair is a case in point. These foul crimes are the result of evil im pulses nurtured in somebody's mind until evil acts resulted* And interwoven with with these evil impulses came the inability to conceal the deed. Everything is being uncovered and the price is being demanded. Men are criminals because they are foolish and ignorant of the laws of the universe. O Jasper County i One of the most gruesome and harrowing state of affairs in the annals of Georgia is being brought to light in Jasper county. About a dozen negroes have been knocked in the head and drowned in that county within the last few months by a planter who has bi>oii posing as one of that county s best citizens, if one of his accomplices, a negro, is to be believed. Surely there are enough God fearing people in Jasper county, who have enough of the love of humanity in their hearts to see that the perpetrators of such d| stanfljy crimes are promptly punished. The whole country is watching this case and Jasper county should show the public that she thoroughly condemns such inhuman deeds. A special session of the superior court is now in order, with swift punishment meted out to the guilty parties. O Atlanta’s Muddle The more Atlanta's Floyd Woodward case is stirred the worse does it show tip her de lect ive and police forces. The impression is being created in the public mind that these forces are trying to besmirch Solicitor Ho.v kin in order to draw attention from them selves. It doesn’t make any difference wheth er Boykin lias walked the straight path or not, that fact does not clear the detective and police forces of our capital city. It seems to lie a fact that Woodward and his gang operated a gambling house right in the heart of the city, murdering one man, at least and that the detective and police au thorities made no effort to stop same until Solicitor Boykin got busy himself with the case. It looks now as if Atlanta will clean house. She needs it. O “Our great assurance at home lies in a virile, intelligent, resolute people, in a land unravnged by war, at enmity with no peo ple, envying none, coveting nothing, seeking no territory, striving for no glories Which do not become a righteous nation. This re pabllc cannot, will not fail, if each of us dot's his part."— President Ilardlng. O “We are the possessors of tremendous pow er, both ns individuals and as states. The great question of the preservation of our in stitutions is a moral question. Shull wo use our power for self-aggrandisement or for service? It lias been the lack of moral tlhro which lias been the downfall of the peoples of the past."—Vice President Cooledge. O Tlie strikers on the A. B. & A. railroad soem to tie losing out in their efforts to keep their wages from being reduced. Public opinion is strongly against them and no or ganization can win unless hacked up by sym pathy. O We have received Volume 1, Number 1. of “Georgia.” anew magazine published by tlie Georgia Association, at Macon. It is de voted to the development of Georgia, anti will b t > a great factor in publishing the won derful possibilities of the state to the world. 0 The business Interests of Winder suffered a great loss Sunday morning in the destruc tion of the Winder Oil Mill. O The City of Atlanta ami the county of Jasper. My! My ! The Passing of John Burroughs When John Burroughs passed over the river and laid him down to rest ’lieatb the tries on the other side, the world lost one of its noble sons. Not only did he love na ture but he loved his fellowman. He breath ed the spirit of goodwill wherever tie went and his writings will ever prove an uplifting power to thoSe who read them. Years ago we read the little poem below entitled: “Waiting,” and it lias since occupied a place in our scrap hook. Serene I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind nor tide nor sea; I rave no more ’gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to’me. I stay my haste, I make delays— For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years. My heart shall reap where it lias sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own and ilraw T The brook that springs in yonder height; Ho flows tlie goisl with equal law Unto tlie soul of pure delight. Tlie stars come nightly to tlie sky; The tidal wave unto the sea ; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,. Can keep my own from me. Railroads Losing Money Over two hundred railroads in the United States showed a deficit in their operations during the month of January. Sixteen of these roads are in the South. The increased rates have not increased the revenues of the roads us was estimated when the higher rates were put into effect. The truth of the matter is that freight and passenger rates are so high now tiiut the business of the country cannot pay them and prosper. There lias been a tremendous falling off in business, both in passenger and freight service, and should the roads be allowed to still further increase their rates it would not get them out of tlie dilemma in which they are now placed. The only solution to the problem is for tlie roads to decrease their operating ex penses so that they can lower their rates to such an extent ns that, the public can pay them and at the same time make a fair profit on their operations. The wages of all rail road employees must come down on a pari ty with the wages received by workers in other lines of business. The scales are ter ribly out of balance now and there can bo no abiding prosperity as long as this unbal anced state of affairs exist. O- A City Beautiful. There are many beautiful yards in Win der. We are glad to note this and we hope tbmt the spirit of beautifying their yards will grow and spread in our city until it takes in every home. There is nothing more commendable than to see ladies out in their aids working and planning to beautify their premises. It shows that they are in ■ crested in their homes, and it is the home loving spirit that enriches and ennobles our nature. A nation of homes will lie a great nation, and n city that loves its homes and spends some of its time in making them beau tiful is a great city. We believe in civic pride, and there is nothing that adds more to the prosperity of a city than for its home owners to make their homes as attractive and beautiful as possible. Editor John W. McWhorter, who recently purchased the Winder News and the Barrow County Times and consolidated the excellent weekly newspapers, is having trouble with his business manager who seems inclined to believe that the readers of tlie News prefer the announcements of the business houses to Editor McWhorter’s illuminating editorials. Twelve pages being insufficient to accom modate the volume of business and the afore said editorials, the editorial page was left out while Editor McWhorter was at home feeding his chickens. The Winder News, without an editorial page, however, is like “home-brew" without a kick. —Jack Patter son, in Atlanta Journal. O Tlie Commerce News is authority for the statement that the col) pipe has supplanted the ten cents cigar in Commerce. We knew all along that John Shannon was out of his class when he got to smoking ten centers. o Hard work and dose attention to business coupled with reasonable economy will bring us all out of the muddle in which we have been placed.
