' THTOBBAT, MAT 12. 1921. ®bp HJuitirr Nma WINDER, GA. Published Every Thursday Entered at the Postofflee at Winder, Georgia, as Second Class Mutter. J. W. McWHORTER— Editor J. B. PARHAM Business Manager Subscription Kates: In Advance One Year Six Months 75 When France looks buck to May, 1871, we don’t blame her one bit for demanding that Germany pay the last farthing. "Do you scrap about the family money : ’ asks the Macon News. No sir-ree. When we scrap, it is always about something very real. We never scrap about nothing. Atlanta is beset with politicians who are more interested in defecating one another than in the city's welfare. This is always unfortunate for any city or town. O The young man is always calculating on making as great a success, financially, in ten years as it took his father a lifetime to ac complish. —O It is rumored that Commerce, over in Jack son county, is to have a woman candidate for Mayor in the next election. If this ru mor proves to be correct, we will find out during the race who really runs the < m rnerce News and the Commerce Observer. O— Winder has been in the hands of the splen did women of the Ninth Congressional dis not be found anywhere than the good women trict this week. A finer body of women can of ii,is section of the state and Winder is proud to have had the honor of entertaining them at their annual meeting. Barrow has two magnificent roads, the equal of any that can lie found anywhere. They are the roads from Winder to the \\ ni ton county line towards Monroe, and from Winder to the Jackson county line towards Jefferson. We have recently traveled over both roads and they are a delight to the nutomobllists. O We believe the Greensboro Herald-Journal is right when it says that business will re sume its pre-war speed and activity when all prices are put on a level, one with the other. The price of all manufactured prod ucts nre entirely out of proportion with the raw products. The buying power of the pr dueers of raw products is so restricted under present conditions that stagnation is bound to continue until all prices are put on a par ity, just as the Herald-Journal says. —O Ninth District Editors to Meet. All the editors and publishers of the Ninth Congressional District have been requested to meet in Gainesville, Ga., at noon, on Fri day, May2oth, for the purpose of organizing a Press Association for this district. Every newspaper in the district ought to have u representative at this meeting. We expect to attend and hope that we may meet all the boys in the district. J 0 Press Boys Welcomed to ' Gainesville In regard to the meeting of the editors of the Ninth Congressional District which will be held in Gainesville Friday, May 20th, we have received the following appreciated tel egram : “Thrice welcome. Will meet in room of Chamber of Commerce. Again welcome.” I. M. Merlinjones. This kind greeting from Editor Merlin jones assures the boys of the Ninth district of a cordial reception by the newspapers of Gainesville. We hope everyone will be pres ent. • r frvllC- , c HljSliiiKdfc O Government Ownership Editor Winchester, of the Social Circle New Era, is coming around alright on the question of government ownership or gov ernment control of public utilities. Give him time and he will always get right oil all pub lic questions. Here is what lie says about government ownership and it is a correct statement of the question, according to our way of thinking: "To say the least, this paper is not being swept off its feet, by the Municipal League movement of Georgia. Which is better, to have our public utilities owned by a corpora tion and controlled by capable, selected men, working for a salary, or have them owned by the state and controlled by a gang of pol iticians working for office? The public is better off with its utilities worked as a bus iness than for them to lie made a foot-ball for politicians. The Georgia Railway and Power Company comes nearer giving this plant value received than any concern with which we deal." . , C; .. .’Eli Much Cotton Being Planted Over Cotton is a source of worry and disap pointment from the time the seed is put In the ground until it is sold. It is very susceptible to all weather conditions and the planter can never feel sure as to the out come of liis operations. Just now there is much cotton being planted over and others are trying to secure stands by replanting the missing places by hand. The cool weather of the past weeks lias caused much of the cotton plants to die, and unless a good stand oiin be secured the yield is small and un profitable. Cotton growing is a gambling proposition; you win occasionally; you lose often, and no one can count on riding into prosperity on the cotton plant. We believe the farmers of this section have about made up their minds to depend less upon it and to plant more food crops. O Federated Club Work. The Woman's Federated clubs of the Niutn Congressional district held one of the most interesting and important meetings of recent yearsdn this city this week. The work of the various clubs, sponsored by the women of our country, is growing, and the civic life of our communities, w ill be largely beneiitted and uplifted by their efforts. The reports of the various clubs over the district made at the meeting this week show the splendid work that is being fostered by these ener getic, and zealous women. Such subjects as public health, literature and library exten sion, school and home improvement, subjects that vitally affect our welfare and prosperity, are being discussed in these conventions, and plans are made for putting into effect these progressive ideas and visions. There is not a finer body of women in all the state than we have here in the Ninth dis trict and we are glad to know that they are standing right up at the top in the greut work in which they are engaged. Mother’s Day. Among nil the days set apart upon which we commemorate heroic deeds or the bene factors of our race, none should have a high er place in minds and hearts than Mother’s Day. The greatest people of the world are the mothers. What hallowed memories, what holy in ti uenees, infinite tenderness} encircle with gilded glory this divinely inspired and God glvcu name. Inimitable in her devotions and matchless in her never-dying love for her off spring, she has ever been the mightiest power on earth. Injured childhood flies to her bosom for refuge, and the weeping infant presses its face upon the mother’s breast. All classes, from the pauper to the king, yield their willing homage to her resistless influence. She has molded kingdoms, rev olutionized empires and peopled earth and heaven. She was “Inst at the cross, first at the sepulcher, and the only one to bathe the Master’s feet in tears.” “Make ink of tears and molten gems, And sunbeams mixed together, With golden pen and holy hand, Go, write the name of mother! High o’er towering mountains, Beyond the starry skies, , k Write it on every glittering crown That's worn in Paradise. On mountains high, in valleys low, In every land and clime, On every throbbing human heart, That blessed name enshrine. s * ~ Take childhood’s lights and Manhood’s shades Celestial canvass given, In beauty trace that name and face, And hang it up in heaven. Thence upward to the great white throne, Midst music soft aiid sweet. Thank Jesus for that precious name, And write it at his feet.” O Beal peonage,’ in GeorgUi ought to be Stamped out. and yet those farmers who heed the ery of those who want help, and who ad vance them money in their time of need, witli the promise on the part of the laborer that he will work it out, ought to have some con sideration in their efforts to make the la borer fulfill his contract.
