THURSDAY, APRIL 28th, 1021. ©lip Mntiter Npms WINDER, GA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Postoffiee at Winder, Georgia, as Second Class Matter. j. w. McWhorter Editor J. B. PARHAM .Business Manager ' Subscription Rates: In Advance One Year $1.50 Six Months— *— 75 A fellow editor says If you want to clean up SI,OOO, use metal polish. O The days are getting longer, but it looks to us that the first of the mouth comes Just as quick as It ever did. _o 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. O If our readers will get up tonight (Thurs day) at midnight and remain up until three, o'clock they will see the moon in eclipse. We beg to be excused from viewing this phenom ena this time. O 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?" O 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? O 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. O 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.
