THURSDAY. APRIL 7, 1021- abr Win Jut Nnus WINDER, GA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Post office at M inder, Georgia, as Second Class Matter. J. W. MCWHORTER- Editor J B. PARHAM Business Manager Subscription Rates: In Advance One Tear. * l5O Six Mouths 75 Savannah's mayor is getting his name in the papers again. O The farmers of Barrow county are busy this week planting their crops. O The shooting of husbands while in bed is getting to be quite popular in Atlanta. O The detective department of Atlanta is re ported to have been quite active during the month of March. Toombs and Brooks counties are announcing cotton blooms. Must be a few left over stalks the boll weevil failed to get last year. O An exchange objects to hearing a woman ref, rred to as a “skirt." He says there is not enough of it to warrant the name. O Secretary Wallace says that farming is a gamble. The present price of cotton is about to suppress this gambling in the South. O American mothers and fathers are too busy with their work or their pleasures to super vise the education of their children, is u just criticism upon our parents. O The eyes of the state are centered on Cov ington and Newton county this week where John S. Williams, charged with murder, is being tried. O Henry Ford says that the bottom of the business depression has been reached and passed. Yes,, in some sections it does look like we have gotten below the bottom. O If the railroads are successful In reducing wages will they then reduce rates? The rail roads are saying nothing about that, but it is something the people would like to know. —Dawson News. We can rest assured that if wages are re duced rates will come down. The people will not stand for profiteering in any line of bus iness now. The Commerce Observer says that if you want to witness a contrast between progress and stagnation, take a trip through Florida and then conn 1 back to Commerce. But l'aul doesn't tell which is which. “The editor has been building some fence around his garden and we are late tills week. A cow got into our garden last Thursday night and hit some of our early corn, English pens and cabbage.”—Carkesfille Advertiser. Hat her than suffer such a damage we would have missed one issue entirely. O The decided stand taken by Governor Dor sey to have the Jasper county crimes thor oughly investigated and the guilty party or parties punished deserves the commendation of every citizen of our state. O Down in the Eleventh Congressional dis trict they have a crack-a-jack press associa tion. it would l>c a splendid tiling if wo could have one up here in the Ninth district. O Editor John Shannon, over nt Commerce, has been praying for the peach crop. Wo are glad to know that he has managed so far to save It. O We believe that Eugene Debs violated tho laws of this country and that It was right to send him to prison. Every violator of the law ought to he punished. We have no sympathy with those who break the law of the land and then pose as martyrs. How ever. we would like to see every vestige of the war wiped out and forgotten ns quickly ns possible. On this account, we do not think it would do any harm to the public now to turn Debs out of prison. And not only Debs, but all others who are In prison charged with a like offense. Let’s get rid of all this mouthing about a man being a martyr to his expressions. O The Sweet Potato. There Is no doubt but that the sweet po tato is rapidly becoming one of the most promising money crops In the state. The building of curing houses all over Georgia shows Unit the people are turning their at tention to this crop. A movement has been started to organize the sweet potato growers and curing-house men of the state for the purpose of nation-wide advertising and or ganization to increase the demand and sta bilize the market prices for this product. We are glad to know that a potato curing plant is being built In Winder and that our farmers will have a market for their pota toes here In this city. There is no better food crop grown than the sweet potato and an organization to increase the demand for them should receive the encouragement of all of our people. On With Business. Richard H. Edmunds, editor of the Manu facturers Record, one of the sanest and saf est men in the country, and whose ideas and opinions are worthy of consideration by bus iness men everywhere, sizes up tin* need of the nation in the following splendid words: “The people of the country may well take courage and go forward with assurance that tlie boundless resources of this heaven-fa vored land furnish the foundation on which to build a greater prosperity than we have ever known. But this prosperity cannot be created overnight unless the spirit of opti mism spreads abroad through the land Men must talk optimistically; they must think optimistically; they must act optimistically; they must advertise optimistically, knowing a spirit of optimism thus spread abroad will drive out the fears of the present, quicken tile courage of our people, and give a lion heart even to the rabbit-hearted pessimists of the hour Then on with business! On with advertis ing! On with every piece of work that can be done to quicken the energies of the na tion and give employment to the pople. O Go to Sunday School Day Sunday, April 17th, has been designated by the Barrow County Ministerial Associa tion as “Go to Sunday School Day," through out this county. The purpose of designat ing this day as such is to arouse an interest in the Sunday school work in the county. This ought to be a great day with all our people. Everybody in Barrow county, both white and colored, should respond to the ef forts of tlie Ministerial Association and go to Sunday school on that day. We are in terested in the project and we are going to watch for the reports from every church in the county on the Monday following the day. We hope to see a report from every church and to s(“e tin* greatest attendance in the his tory of the county. The Ministerial Associ ation has set 6,000 as the goal. That is not quite half the population of our county. We ought to beat that and we believe we will. O Clean Up the Loafers. Crime in Atlanta has been decreased re cently on account of the fact that the police and detective departments have made a gen eral rlwn-np of all loafers,” stated Police Chief Beavers, of Atlanta, recently. We are sure that tills statement is true. Loafing is productive of crime always. That an idle brain is the devil’s workshop can not be denied. A decided effort should be put forth all over the state to put nil loaf ers to work. If they will not work of their own accord, let the authorities take charge of them, under the law, and see that they work. In these times of stress, there is no place for the idler anywhere. If there are any idlers in Winder, our city authorities can get in behind them and make it too unpleasant for them to stay in this city unless they work. The high wages that lias been paid during the past few years lias had a tendency to encourage idleness. Peo ple could make a living by working half time, and many did not work more than that. That time has passed, it is necessary now to work all the time to make a living. The idler is heating somebody. It’s a good idea to get in behind him and put him to work. It will decrease crime, just as Chief Beavers says. O The Conyers Times lias discovered a good remedy for the headache. Editor Tyler says that instead of holding a bottle of smelling salts to the nose, if people would chuck a hunk of fruit cake into the back alley and walk a mile away from it, it would, in most cases, prevent it. We’re going to try this sure, if We can get the fruit cake. 101 KSE IN COMMUNITY CIVICS. Realizing the new duties and respon sibilities falling upon women us a re sult of tlie recent legislation conferring full citizenship upon them, there has been a widespread movement through out the country on the part of patri otic and progressive women to learn more of their community problems in a concrete and practical way. The coming participation of women in all civic and governmental affairs of city, state and nation, together with the obligation imposed by the franchise makes it incumbent upon them to study the machinery as well as the theory of government. The Winder Woman's Club through its committees on civics has just ar ranged for a series of studies in Com munity Civics to he given by the Wom an’s Club. Col. It. B. Russell, Jr., Col. J. C.
