Bethabara Church
In Oconee County.
A Most Interesting and Profitable 15.
v Y. I*. U. Meeting Was Held
Sunday.
Through the kindness of Mr. R. L.
<'anthers we had the pleasure of visit
ing Bethabara church in Oconee coun
ty last Sunday. The writer was the
pastor of that church for ten years,
and those years are among the most
pleasant of our life. There are as
many good people to the square mile
around Bethabara church as you will
find anywhere in Georgia, and we num
ber them all as our friends.
The occasion was the annual con
yeniion of the B Y. P. U. of the Appa
lacho.' association, : ad the large and
commodious church building, a perma
nent memorial of the liberality of the
C’aritliers family, was filled with young
people and others from all over the as
sociation.
The meeting was presided over by
Sylvester Sauls, of this city, while the
music was led by J. Harris Mayo, one
of the leading members of the Winder
B. Y. P. U.
During the morning hours a splen
did address was delivered by Mr. H. L.
Batts, who has charge of the B. Y. 1 .
U. work in the state, and a strong and
uplifting sermon was delivered by Rev.
(’. W. Henderson, the pastor of the
church.
Bethabara has always,been famous
for her great dinners on the ground,
and she fully sustained her reputation
on this occasion. The writer enjoyed
the noon hour thoroughly shaking the
hands of old friends and renewing old
acquaintances. Wish we had space to
name all, hut it would take more than
a column just to call them by name.
Mars Hill Baptist church was chos
en as the next annual associational
meeting place for the B. Y. P. U. and
the time selected was the 3rd Sunday
in June, 1922.
Tlie following officers were elected
for this term: Sylvester Sauls, Win

■ AND THE BARROW TIMES
SIXTY GALLONS OF
BOOZE DESTROYED
Messrs. Sim Hill, Hope Camp, Joe
Cheely and Ralph Crawford captured
a car loaded with (50 gallons of booze
just on the outskirts of Winder last
Friday evening, as it was trying to get
to Athens. The car loaded with
the booze broke down just west of the
city and had engaged a truck to pull
them to Athens. As they passed thru
Winder the authorities became suspi
cious and the above gentlemen follow
ed the party and overtook them just
out of the city on the Athens road.
The car was searched and 60 gallons
of whiskey was found. In the car were
one white man and two negroes. The
white man leaped out of the car
at the approach of the officers but later

GREAT RECORD FOR
WINDER HI SCHOOL
A Most Excellent Showing Made by our
Educational Institution at Athens
Last Friday.
At the State High School meet at
Athens last Friday and Saturday, the
Wjinder schools made a most excellent
showing. The Ninth District won the
State Literary Cup, and every point
scored by the district was made by the
Winder school. The number of points
made was 10. The Seventh District
scored 9 points for second place, but
no one school in the district scored over
five points.
There is an individual Literary Cup
which is held" by the school scoring the
most points in the state. Winder High
school holds this cup also.
The Winder school also won the S2O
gold piece offered by tbe American
Book Cos., for the school making the
highest per cent in the spelling contest
among the senior classes of the state.
The first places won by Winder
school were:
Girls’ Essay—Edith House.
Spelling—(Senior Class.
These contests are the means by
which we may measure the merits of
our school with the other schools of
the state. Some like to knock, but
when the tost comes, Winder always
delivers tbe goods.

FORDSON TRACTOR
DOES GREAT WORK
Demonstrations Over the County Show
ing Fanners the Great Possibili
ties of This Imple
ment.
t
The farmers qt Barrow county are
becoming greatly interested in the won
derful possibilities that are opening up
to them in the use of the Fordson Trac
tor’. Diversified farming is becoming a
reality now in this section and every
one th\t sees the Fordson tractor at
work realizes its value on the farm.
The editor of the News went out
Tuesday to see one at work on the farm
of Mr. P. R. (Leek) Smith just east of
Winder, and while we have heard many
things said in praise of this tractor we
were surprised at the splendid work
we saw it doing. The land had been in
oats and the dry weather had caused
it to become hard and we do not be
lieve a pair of mules could have pulled
a plow through it two Inches deep.
This Fordson was pulling two large
disk plows and plowing about 10 inch
es deep, several inches deeper than had
ever been plowed before. After the
land was broken it was harrowed with
the Fordson and the cultl-packer was
run over it, leaving the field in perfect
condition for any kind of seed. Only
one man was needed to do the work.
Mr. Smith will plant this five acres
in snap beans and will be ready to sup
ply Winder with all the beans she
needs later in the summer.
Every farmer realizes that with the
deflation, in the price of his products he
must trim the costs of production and
it strikes us that tins is one of the
best ways in which to do this. Man
labor is reduced to a minimum by tbe
use of the Fordson Tractor, and this
enters more largely into the cost of
production than anything else.
One thing that impressed us with
the Fordson is the ability of tin* soil
to conserve moisture where it is brok
en with a Fordson. On Monday of last
week, wheat on the farm of Mr. G. W.
Giles, near Auburn, was cut with a
Fordson, the land broken, harrowed,
culti-packed and planted in peas and
sorghum, all of the work being done by
the tractor. When the land was brok
en and the seed planted it had been
about ten days after any rain had fal
len. It has not rained any since, yet
Mr. Giles has a fine stand of peas and
sorghum, showing that when land is
properly prepared and planted, there is
no trouble in securing a stand even in
dry weather.
The writer of this article is not in
terested in the sale of tractors, per
sonally, lmt he is vitally Interested in
the prosperity of tlie farmers of Bar
row county, and is anxious that our
people get in tlie way of making max
imum crops at minimum cost. We be
lieve it is to the interest of every far
mer in the county to see the Fordson
tractor at work and to investigate tlie
possibilities that its use will open up
to them.
J. L. SAUL’S GREAT SALE.
In this issue appears a large two
page ad of a great sale that J. L. Saul

BARROW FARMERS

The farmers of Barrow county are
in good spirits. They have had sev
eral weeks of dry weather in which to
get their crops clean of grass and all
crops in this section are in good condi

their wheat and oat crops and these
have made good yields. The prospects

THREE EXOFFICERS
PRESENTED MEDAL
Captains W. L. Matthews, Miles C.
Wiley and Paul F. Brooksher
Apply for Medal May 2.
The Victory Medal officer, 204 Jour
nal Building, Atlanta, notes a very tin*
usual coincidence which occurred the
morning of the 2nd. The applications
of Captains William L. Mathews and
Miles C. Wiley were received by mnil
and Mrs. Carolyn B. Moore brought
Captain Paul F. llrooksher’s discharge
to the office for his application, which
she signed for him. This is the first
time that three applications from ex
officers have been received from any one
place In one day. Their medals will be
received by them from the Phila. de
pot about the time this goes to press,
or a few days later. Captain Mathews’
ribbon will have two bronze clasps on
it, denoting service in the Meuse-Ar
goime and in the Defensive Sector of
the 2nd Army Area. Captain Brook
sher's medal will have one clasp on the
ribbon with the word “France” on it,
showing that lie was overseas but not
ii. any battles. As Captain Wiley was,
e the Victory Medal Officer himself,
one of the unfortunates who did not get
over, his ribbon will bear no clasp.
Otherwise the medals are identical.
Tbe Victory Medal officer expect* to
have to close his office soon, possibly
in a month, and would like to get all
of the Barrow county medals Issued
before that time. If you cannot or do
not wish to send your discharge to him.
write and tell him why, he will see that
you get your medal. Discharges arc
returned within 24 hours from the time
lie gets them, unless received Saturday
afternoon, and it is generally more sat
fuctory when they are sent.
| Our Court House Clock
[Question Bobs Up Again
Our new clock on the court house is
still an interesting question to the
court house officials and tlie position of
official clock Winder lias again bobbed
up for settlement. As we stated some
time ago t'asli Bnggitt was unanimous
ly elected as official clock winder, and
that he would begin his duties as soon
as lie made bond and received his com
mission. It has developed that the
clock will run only six days instead of
eight, and Cash has found it a huril
matter to get an* me to go on his bond
on account of this fact, liis friends fear
ing that he could not make the trip up
o the clock and hack in six days. They
would he perfectly willing to go on his
bond if the clock would run eight duys
ns they believe he could make the round
trip easily in that time. Ho up to the
hour if going to press the question is
still unsettled.
One night last week the clock struck
li, when everybody knows there is no
such time in clockdom, and only last
Monday morning ye editor was pulled
out of lied at 5 o’clock and lost the best
part of the night for sleeing , just be
cause the clock struck nine when it
ought to have struck five. We blamed
Cash Baggett for playinh lids trick on
us, hut he says that the thing is worse
than a kicking mule. It’i4 hard to
start "the tiling striking and when it
gets (Started you can’t stop it. He
says tlie other night when it struck 16
it ought to have struck nine. He tried
to stop the tiling at the right hour but
it just went wild and kept oil striking,
and he believes it would is* striking
right on now if he hadn't swung onto
the clapper and finally stopped it. The
other morning when it pulled us out
of bed at 5 o'clock by strkiing nine.
Cash says that was liis fault as he
lost count and didn’t know many times
the thing had struck until some of the
Winder citizens Jumped on him about
it.
One thing is certain, Cash says he’s
got enough of clock winding to last
him the balance of his life.
