The days are getting longer, but it looks
to us that the first of the mouth comes Just
as quick as It ever did.

Many Winder gardens are now yielding
the owner** delicious stmwberriee. There
may be a better dish than a strawberry
short-cake but we’ve never seen it.
O
Winder's rose gardens are now decked in
all their gorgeous beauty. The queen ot all
the flowers is the rose and nowhere does she
unfold with greater splendor than among
the red old hills of Georgia.

If our readers will get up tonight (Thurs

Wish to goodness Uncle Jim Williams had
carried Frank Stanton to the mountains of
Habersham with him. Who-o-o-ee! Just
think of the poetry and things that pair
would have taken in.—Alpharetta Free Press.
Will Bro. Rucker please tell us what he
means by “things?"

Documents recently found in Genoa show
that Columbus’ expense in discovering Amev
ica was s7<Hhi. The three ships cost S3OOO.
Columbus received S3OO per year, his two cap
tains S2OO per yeaf each, while the crew was
paid thi* princely sum of $2.50 per month each.
Wonder if there were any profiteering charged
to that crowd when they got back to Spain?

Echoes From Dahlonega
(NUGGET)
If persons will pay attention to what they
see In the Nugget before It’s too lute, It will
save them money very often.
It would be a good time for nil those en
gaged in the manufacture of liquor to quit
the business right now and make a crop or do
something else and let all us fellows learn
to drink sasafras tea.
Any one cun save wood by cutting it ns
they use it.
At the recent tax sales Mr. Jim Tate, not
noticing, bid off two lots of land he purchas
ed a year ago. And one lot sold was found
to he across the mountain in Union county.
To Help Fill Up Space
Right often we get long articles clipped
from other papers, of no general interest, to
the public, which we are notified we can use
to help fill up space. Every day we got more
or less matter through the mails which we
are requested to publish for general Infor
mation. It isn’t a question of tilling up space
in this office. Every week we are worried
as to what we can leave out and yet serve
our readers. This week and every week we
leave out some things that we feel ought to go
In but we just haven't the room. The News
carries a large amount of local news, and
when we cover the news, locally, In Winder
and Harrow county, we just can’t publish
i'll" articles about things in general. We
appreciate the good intentions of those who
want to lighten our burdens by sending us
clippings to help fill up our space, but beg to
say they need not bother about it.

Rucker Vs. Shannon.
Editor John Shannon, over at Com
merce. lias lieen praying for the peuch
crop. We are glad to know that he lias
managed so far to save it. —Winder News.
While Unde, John was at It we wish
he had included the early bean crop.
Ours is übout mint by the frost of tills
week. Uncle John slioulfl not forget
his friends and their interests while on
his bended knees.—Alpharetta Free Press.
When Sam Jones was agent for the L>eca
tnr Orphanage, spenkiag at a camp meeting
lie urged flic people to make donations, tell
ing them, that ttie good Lord would stand
by them if they did. One old farmer decid
ed to put the matter to a test and made a
contribution. When he got home he found
50 head of cattle in his corn fit Id. whereupon
he.went hack on Sam abut i., “How much
did you give?’’ asked* Sam. “Ten dollars,”
said the farmer. “You old find." said Sam.
“Ho you think the Lord will mind a cow gap
all day for ten dollars.” Make the applica
tion George. Do you think the Lord will
watch your little old bean patch all night,
(when it’s cold, for a tynkliug cymbal?—
Commerce News.
We are surprised that Geo. D. Rucker
should I>e trying to get Uncle John Shannon
to save his beans for a tinkling cymbal.
♦Come across. Uro. Rucker and pay for what
you get.
Up in Lumpkin.
The Dahlonega Echo says that up in that
country both saint and believe it a
God-given right to make, sell and drink whis
key, and that they preach that doctrine and
practice it, too. —Winder News.
Up in Lumpkin they don’t have many ways
of making a living, even the scant living they
enjoy. Therefore, they make corn, convert
the corn into liquor, sell the liquor for what
they can get for it, and feel that they are
blessed of Heaven.
This condition will not last always. Even
now the best of the mountaineers are seeing
anew light. Their consciences are being
awakened and they are looking for other and
better ways of living. /
There is no better blood on earth than
that which flows through the veins of the
mountaineers of Georgia. They are the kind
of stock of which kings and queens are made.
They are, so to speak, our best breeding
stock, and the great problem for us to solve
is how to keep the stock pure and unadulter
ated and at the same time break up the block
ade liquor business. The establishment of
good schools and the building of good roads
Is a step in the right direction.—Alpharetta
Free Press.
O
Multiplicity of Laws.
Every intelligent person will udmjj that
there are too many laws on the statute books
but when so many people will not do right
without legal restraint what are you going
to do about it?—Commerce Observer.
The trouble is that our laws are not
promptly and thoroughly enforced. Laws
are worthless unless enforced. Justice is
delay and and often miscarried on account of
the tactics of lawyers and the leniency of
judges. Lynchings are the direct result of
dilatory tactics aftowed in our courts. We
believe in the majesty of the law, hut when
the law has been outraged, defied and tram
pled under foot hundreds of times by lenient
Judges and interested lawyers, we are not
very much impressed when said judges and
lawyers hold up their hands in horror and
prate about the majesty of the law when a
nng occurs. The judges and lawyers
are themselves to blame for the disrespect
people have for our laws. A prompt and
strict enforcement of every law, giving de
fendants fair and impartial trials, but at Uie
same time protecting promptly the rights of
the public, will solve the lynching problem,
and create a proper respect in the minds of
people for the law.
The courts and lawyers are looked upon as
the agencies through which laws operate,
and when these agencies are careless, indif
ferent and dilatory, showing no respect them
selves for the law, how can they expect the
public to feel otherwise.
Jury Duty.
One of the things that tends to weaken
the administration of our courts and to ham
per the proper enforcement of the laws of
this country is the unwillingness of many of
our best citizens to serve on the jury. They
do not feel sufficiently strong the obli
gations resting upon them to give some part
of their time to the public welfare. The
pay of the Juror is small and there should be
no objection to this as jury duty is in the
nature of a contribution on the part of public
spirited citizens to Che welfare of the state
and county in which he lives. He should
be sufficiently interested in the well-being of
his community to l>e willing to contribute
some portion of his time to the interests of
his neighbors and to his own safety.
There is always a number of men in ev
ery county who hang around the courts that
are anvious to serve for the paltry sum that
the juror receives. They are generally shift
less, careless of responsibility, and do not
feel the necessity for a thorough and busi
ness-like administration of the courts of the
country or the affairs of their county. They
serve for the few paltry dollars they receive
Too often this class of men predominate on
our juries.
4 The juries of our courts ought to be made
up of the very best citizens of the county.
They ought to be men of affairs, intelligent,
fair, business-like in their Ideas, and inter
ested in the public weal. Such men are
loath to leave their business and give their
time to jury service, and too often excuses
are made to be relieved so that they cun go
back to tlvir business affairs. These are the
men to whom we are appealing. Your patri
otism. your state and county pride, your in
terest in seeing that justice shall prevail, the
preservation, even, of your personal and
property rights should move you to make the
sacrifice and help the judges and court offi
cials in the proper administration of the af
fairs of your county and state. It is a duty
you owe yourself, your family, your neigh
bors. your county, your state.
We hope to stv a great change on the part
of our host citizens in this particular. The
fair name of our state and the progress and
development of our citizenry demand it.
“Duty is the aublimest word iu the English
language,” said Robert E. Lee, and our best
men should not shrink from discharging
their duty.

The city council down at Vklalia has pass
ed an ordinance prohibiting chickens from
running at large, which will lessen the
trouble between neighbors, and cause more
religion in the churches during gardening
season,—Dahlonega Nugget.
