THURSDAY, JUNE ft. ITOI. ®hr Urniifr Nnufl Winder, Ga. And THE BARROW TIMES, of Winder, Ga., Consoli dated March Ist, 121. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY j. w. McWhorter. - —Editor J. B. PARHAM Business Manager Entered at the Postofflce at Winder, Georgia as Second Class Matter for Transmission Through the Mails. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WINDER OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY of BARROW SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR -i— sl-50 Six Months 75 Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., June 9, 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 Uncle Sam is firing some of his employees. Good idea; let them go to work and earn a living. O We hope those mothers in Atlanta who want to see a reform in the midnight debauchery of that city will win their fight. O Luke McLuke says that a boy on the farm earns his first dollar a long time before he gets it, hut that with the city boy it is just the reverse. , O The farmers of Barrow county are harvesting one of the best grain crops in its history. We hope all of this stubble land will be sown In peas and sor ghum. O Just listen to Uncle John Shannon up at Commerce: “The farmers are cutting wheat. The blackberries are getting red. Sugar is getting cheaper. Black berry dumplings with sugar and cream! Yum, yum, yum. T O Tin 1 Jackson Progress-Argus says that the fad just now is in finding new ways of increasing property to tax and increasing taxes oil all property in sight. It thinks them should lie a revival of interest in saving the public every dollar possible. We think so, too. O In these days of new ideas and new ways it makes an old timer smile when he reads the following lilies from one of the prominent Judges of our courts: "'llie rod is the only method of bringing the youthful gen eration to its senses and teaching children to respect their parents and elders.” O Since it lias been decided to regulate the bathing suits of females on the sea coasts by law, said fe males have risen up in their might and are deter mined that the bathing suits of the males shall also he regulated. The women say that it is not a bit more shocking to expose a dimpled knee than it is to allow a host of knock-kneed, spindle-shanked males the privilege of exposing their unsightly limbs. O The American Trading Company and Phillip I>e- Ronde, sugar Importers of New York City, arc asking congress to make them a present of $1,000,000 each, which represents the amount each firm lost last year in sugar operations when the sugar market “broke. How about reimbursing the Southern farmers for the amounts they lost last fall when the cotton market “broke.” 0 “Old Ten Per Cent,” a doggerel composed by some one about twenty-five yours ago, has again made its appearance. It Is as follows: “I knew him as ‘Old Ten Per Cent,’ The more ho made, the less he spent; The more he got, the more he lent, He’s dead. I don’t know where he went, But if his soul to heaven, was sent, He’ll own the harps and charge ’em rent." O The college or university that hasn’t a drive for more funds on is rather the exception. A drive to raise funds to provide letter rural or common schools and pay the teachers therein would seem to us to be more in line with good Judgment aud equity.—Ogle thorp,. Echo. O- W e understand that a determined effort will be made at the press convention at Washington next month to marry off Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta Journal, and John Howell, of the Cuthbert Leader. When ice melts at the North Pole and water freezes at the Equator, then these two beauties will get mar ried. not before. O The assertion is going about that out of every 100 cents in taxes we pay the government 92 cents go for WHr past, present and future. This should suit the navy league and kindred organizations. The principal fruits of the navy league before the war was to ad vance the sale of armor plate. When the war broke out the league suddenly became a super-patriotic in stitution. and wrapped itself in the American flag. The flag has been used to cover many a miserable old hulk. Truly, the flag is too often the refuge of the scroundreL—Dawson News. Winder High School. The record made by the Winder High School in Athens last week at the State Meet of all the dis tricts of Georgia should cause our people to feel proud of her educational institutions. The Literary Cup was won by the Ninth District with 10 points, and ev ery one of these points was made by the Winder school. t In the Girl’s Essay contest, Miss Edith House won first place in the state over all contestants. In the Spelling Contest Winder also won first place over all contestants in the state. We mention these honors won by our public schools that our people may know how Winder stands among the other cities of the state, educationally. We be lieve that we have one of the best school superin tendents in tint state, and under his leadership, back ed by a faculty, the equal of any in Georgia, the Win der Public Schools are making a record that should accord it the hearty and enthusiastic support of our people. O ■* The Real Problem The real problem is how to increase the income of the state —not how to decrease the appropriations.— Georgia Alumni Record. This seems, indeed, to be the real problem with i those who are connected with our state institutions. They are not at all interested in lightening the bur dens of the tax-payers, but in devising some plan whereby the taxes ran be increased and more money extracted from the complaining, grouchy tax-payer. I yet us suggest to the editor of the Alumni Record that the Htate University push the campaign that it has begun of raising funds by private gifts. This is the best way to test the real value of every insti tution. Let the State University come before the people and let them contribute as their love for the institution shall dictate. If the University has a great place in the heart of the people of this state, they will freely help it. In this way those who are able and inclined to help can do so, while the hard pre: soil ta::payors of tlie state will not be called upon to dig deeper in their pockets and make larger con tributions to its support. O Some Tax Commissions. Some time ago the policy was established in tlie state of appointing special tax investigators to ferret out past due taxes of various kinds—inheritance taxes, nd valorem taxes and special taxes. The commission paid these tax investigators was from 15 to 33 per cent. Two of them have recently fallen out and a lawsuit has resulted which has brought to light how large sums of the people’s mouey has been paid to these tax gatherers. It appears that a man by the name of Allen was assigned certain territory which included Camden county. He began negotiations for the collection of past due ad valorem taxes on the estate of a Mrs. Car negie in that county. Another tax gatherer by the name of J. F. Roberts got in ahead of him and col lected tlie $37,500 past due taxes, put one-third of it, or $12,500 iu his pocket for collecting same and turned the balance over to the state. Now, Allen is kicking because Roberts “Poached” on the former’s territory, and is suing Roberts for the money. We are not interested in which one gets the mouey but we are interested in why it is necessary to pay $12,500 to get $25,000 in the state treasury. It strikes us that there has been many lax methods in both national and stute affairs of late years.
