OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WINDER OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY of BARROW Member Ninth Georgia District Press Association. SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR ™ Six Months Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., June 30, 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 The recent rains will spoil many a nubbin among the con fields of this section of the state. 0 Copious rains have fallen throughout this section of the state during the last few days and the growing crops are looking much better. O Every man, woman and child in the United States will be taxed #B2 to defray the expense of being gov erned next year. A democracy Is not such a simple form of government after all. O Atlanta proposes to give the state anew governors mansion t fthe people will let It stay in that city. Macon must be putting in some telling licks on the capital removal question. O Parties were telling us the other day that a no ac count man out in the country had taken up with a no . account woman. Then u no account dog came along and took up with the two. Can any county beat this? —Dahlonega Nuggett. O One of the most useful men this section lias ever sent out is Rev. Frank Jackson, who is now conduct ing a meeting in this city at the Second Baptist church. He has been a channel of blessing to thousands of people all over this section. O The completion of the Harrow county courthouse is one of the important questions that confront our peo ple Just now. The present grandjury will doubtless make some suggestions along this line in their pre sent iments next week. O There’s as much money in the country as there ever was; there's as much property In the country as there ever was; the trouble is that everybody has gotten seared and nobody has any confidence in anybody. Everything Is coming around alright to the man who keeps kicking. , . , O “You can write all the rules of grammar you need to know on the back of a postcard,” says Dr. Peyton Jacobs, holding the chnir of Education ut Mercer University. Wliat riles ns is that we spent n goodly portion of our boyhood days trying to master “Smith’s Grammar,” and now all that time was wasted, if the good I>r. Jacobs is correct. O The Danger of Gifts “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” says Holy Writ, which lias lieen proven true lu the expe riences of all men who have practiced the art of giv ing. There is the accumulation of power, strength, joy In giving. And herein lies its danger. In all these years we have preached and practiced the vir tue of giving, aud we have lost sight of the lncaleu *-.liible 'injury we tnav do the recipient. 'dChile power, strength and Joy come with the giv ing on the other hand, the recipient loses these* very attributes in accepting the gift. The giver increases his power and strength and becomes the master. The recipient loses power and strength and becomes the slave. It is dangerous to accept gifts. Far better to pay for what you get. You are under no obliga tions. then, and no man can pronounce himself your (superior. We can help each other too much. Too much free education is dangerous. The things that do us good all through life are the things that have cost effort and have called for sacrifice. This is why we think it wise to make our gifts for education to the common and high schools. Wake up the hoy or girl; arouse within them an ambitlou to do things that are worth while; show them their possibilities in life, and then withdraw your help. If the elements of success are in them, they will develop more power and more in telligence without your help tlinn with it. If the elements of success an* lacking in their makeup, your continued help is worthless. The beggar admits his inferiority in some way the giver proves his superiority. He can not only take can of himself but of others. The recipient lacks something of being a man; the giver is more than man In our educational system, let’s not Injure our children, let’s not destroy the attributes that they so much need to make them strong, virile and suc cessful men and women. A Good Legislator Hon. Boyce Ficklin is a member of the legislature from Wilkes county. Last Friday when the roll was being called to ascertain what new laws were in con templation by the members, many new hills were proposed. Mr. Ficklin answered to his name as fol lows : “My constituency has directed me, Mr. Speaker, to introduce no new legislation this year, to kill all that is Introduced as far as I can. and to fight for the repeal of everything I can. Thank you.” We heartily endorse the position taken by Mr. Ficklin. We have now too many laws on our statute books. Many of them are obsolete and useless. A few laws strictly enforced is what we need. However, Mr. Ficklin is in the minority. The pres ent legislature will spend the fifty days in grinding out new laws and appropriating about twice as much money ns the income of the state will justify, adjourn and go hack home, indifferent as to the un businesslike manner in which the affairs of the state have been handled. ~ O ’ An Interesting Lawsuit A most Interesting suit has been filed in the Ten nessee courts at Chattanooga. William Felton is su ing the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen for dam ages in the sum of $5,000. He alleges that he is a former employee of the Southern Railway company, having been working as a switchman, and that he has worked for them for six years and earned a daily wage at the time of his discharge of $0.48. Felton charges that he lost ids position following a demand upon his employer for his removal by the trainmen’s union workers, who refused to work with Felton be cause he was a non-union man. The trainmen’s un ion workers threatened to strike if the railroad did not discharge him. Felton charges that hi.s discharge was the result of a conspiracy on the part of the unionists and resulted in hi.s damage in the sum of the amount sued for. Two questions are involved in the suit. They are: Has a non-union laborer, who has lost his job at tlie instance of organized labor, any remedy at law? Can an incorporated labor organization be sued for monetary damages resulting from the loss of a plain tiff’s position through its efforts? We think Felton has a good ease, and should a ver dict against the labor union lie returned, the closed shop question will be practically settled. Fight the 801 l Weevil. The men who are pushing their business and oiug their best now are the ones that will win. We need credit now more than ever,and the man who shows a disposition to be careless or indifferent in the man agement of his business affairs is sure to lose out for he will soon find his credit gone. The business world has confidence in the man who pushes his business though he may fall behind at times, knowing that he will finally meet his obligations. It’s the quitter that the business world turns its hack upon. It behooves every farmer in this section to fight the boll weevil with all the energy he can command just now. You can win if you fight. Y*u will lose if you do not fight. There are many ways in which the ravages of the weevil van he minimized. Picking up the fallen squares helps wonderfully. There are several weevil traps on the market that are good devices and they are also valuable helps. We publish elsewhere in this issue of the News a formula that is being used in South Georgia to fine effect. It does not cost much and is worth trying. As the years pass it becomes harder for the lazy man to make u living in this world. Things seem to be made that way. Obstacles are all around us and only the man who keeps kicking and working aud trying will win; aud he will win, for the gods of sue cess are behind him. Farmers, fight the boll weevil. Watch your fields of cotton, and begin now to fight. If July is a wet month, the weevil will ruin you. Don’t wait. Kill everyone now you can find. It means thousands less weevills later on. O Is it hot enough for you today? wat him. O The farmers of Barrow county are putting up a winning tight against the boll weevil. O Tilings around hen* are in great shape for the en tertainment of the Georgia editors next month in Washington. And reports from every section of the state indicate that the boys are coming to a man. There is just one thing can be said of the coming meet ing of the press association, and that is it’s going to he the very best ever.—Washington Reporter. O The Georgiu legislature has a big proposition on its hands to make about seven million dollars pay ap propriations of over nine millions. v O Week after next the Georgia editors will be meet ing at Washington. From there to go to Tybee for their annual hatha. O The man who is still pushing his business and reaching out after customers is the one who will win. O Winder needs some place of recreation for her citizenship during the long summer months. THE WINDER NEWS PARADISE Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bm.th have Lien visiting relatives her*, ior sev-r --al days.
