THURSDAY. APRIL 21. 1021. She Wittier Nrms WINDER, GA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Postoffice at Winder, Georgia, as Second Class Matter. j. w. McWhorter Editor J. B. PARHAM Business Manager Subscription Rates: In Advance One Tear $1.50 Six Months 75 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. — Alpharetta Free Press. 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.
