Wherein Uncle John Forgot
Editor John Shannon, over at Commerce,
has been praying for the peach crop. We are
glad to know that he has managed so far to
save it.—Winder News.
While Uncle John was at it we wish he
had included the early beau crop. Ours is
just about ruint by the frost of this week.
Uncle John should not forget his friends and
their interests while on his bended knees. —

O
Our Bell Tolls the Hour
The new clock has been put in position on
the court house and now we are hourly re
minded of the passing of time. In the still
small hours of the night we can now hear
the tolling of the hour and don’t have to get
up in the dark and stumble around over
chairs trying to find a chain that swings
from the light bulb. Verily this is a day of
conveniences. Even Cash Baggett, in the
ordinary's office, can now lay aside all wor
ry and care for fear he will miss his dinner,
and rest content, knowing that the clock will
call him to dinner promptly on the hour. We
appreciate the clock. Long may it toll.
O
Government Ownership
Word comes from Washington City that
an additional four hundred millions dollars
is needed to meet the government's losses
from operating the railroads. This will
bring the total amount lost by the govern
ment in operating the roads to about two
billions of dollars. The citizens of the Unit
ed States are paying these stupendous sums.
No wonder the employees of the roads fa
vor government ownership. In the case of
the A. B. & A. road it seems to have been
brought out that the employees are not at
all concerned as to whether the road is earn
ing enough to pay their deiftands or not.
With them, it seems to be a case of high
wages, regardless of the earnings of the
road. This must he why they favor govern
ment ownership or at least government op
eration. Their high wages can continue and
the taxpayers can foot the MIL The busi
ness and farming interests of this country
arc opposed to gocemment ownership or gov
ernment operation, and our prediction is that
the employees of the railroads arc going to
come out of the contest that they are now
engaged in to keep their wages at an abnor
mal amount, badly defeated. No organiza
tion is strong enough to twist the wages of
workers of this country out of proportion
arid succeed in holding it there. The come
hack is sure and certain.
O
Ninth Distinct Press
Association.
Down in the Eleventh Oafcgrn—wmal dis
trict they hare a crack-a-jack pro** wmo&M
tion. It would be a splendid thing if could
have one op here in the Ninth District. —Win-
der New*.
We have been trying to get something out
of our system about that very same District
Press Association for some time and now that
Editor McWhorter has got it started let him
keep it going until be can get concerted ac
tion from the editors of the district and he
should then set a date for a meeting in Win
der and send out invitations to all editors to
attend the organization in Winder. He can
count us in as one who will be on hand on
organization date. The Association is doing
more for the newspapers of the Eleventh
than anything they have been able to find
In a decade. —Buford Advertiser.
We ask that every editor in the Ninth dis
trict write us n postal card stating how they
find about such an organization. We will be
glad to call such a meeting here In Winder
if the proposition strike's our brethren of the
press favorably. If Winder is tit acceptable
press favorably. If Winder is not acceptable
Ss the first meeting place, name the place
you prefer. Let us hear from you.
O
Winder’s White Way
Wednesday night Winder’s White Way
shone forth in all Its brilliancy. Miss Clco
Bush, daughter of lr. Wiley Bush, one of
the honored men of bygone days in this sec
tion, was accorded the honor of pressing
the button that flashed on the current and
made the streets of Winder ns light ns day.
Winder Ims u genuine city appearance now
and with paved streets and white ways we
are pressing on to still greater achievements.
. O
We had hopes of seeing John Howell down
at Outhbert married some of these days
when be gets lag enough, but if these At
lanta women keep shooting their husbands
vhlle the latter are in bed, we are afraid we
| are doomed to disappointment.
' O
An exchange asks: "How bright is moon
shine? Well, now, down here in Georgia it
enables a man to see double.
What Are They Kicking
About?
The city of Americus was to send a dele
gation before the State Itailrad Commission
this week to protest the Americus Lighting
Company’s appeal fr a raise of rate for cur
rent sold to the city to 7.7 cents per kilowat
hour. Instead of making a protest those
folks should Ih* offering up thanks for the
unusually cheap rntes they are enjoying.
Here in Richland, where we have a muni
cipally owned plant, we are having to pay 25
cents per kilowat hour for current and only
have it for about five or six hours out of ev
ery 24. there is something radically wrong
when a corporation, which is in business for
money only, can sell current (steam made)
for 7.7 cents kilwat, when we. of Kichjand.
have a plant, not in the business for gain,
but for cost, has to charge 25 cents per kilo
wat.
It would l>e very profitable, indeed, for
Richland to dump its plant in a junk pile
and get some corporation to enter a line into
this city. The Americus folks who think
they are in the hands of an enemy (the cor
poration) should try out a municipally own
ed plant for a year and they would then ap
preciate their rate of 7.7 cents. —Richland
News.
O
The Tribune is delighted to know that Rev.
W. H. Faust has decided to remain with the
First church at Winder. Brother Faust re
ceived a flattering offer from tin* First
church at Tennille but the Winder Baptists
showed their good sense l>y inducing him to
remain.—Walton Tribune.
O
It's none of our business and we are not
losing any sleep about it, but we would like
to know, just because we are like other hu
mans and have a little curiosity in our make
up, why the Honorable James L. Key, the
doughty mayor of the great and mighty city
of Atlanta refused to meet the little cashier
of the little bank of the little town of Clarkes
ville in debate at Cornelia the other day.We
have a notion of going clear up to Clarkos
vllle just to take a peep at that cashier.
