THURSDAY, JULY 7, IP2I ©hr Hitttor News Winder, Ga. And THE BARROW TIMES, of Winder, Ga., Consoli dated March Ist, 1921. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY J. W, McWHORTEB- Editor J. B. PARHAM Business Manager Entered at the Postoffice at Winder, Georgia as Second Class Matter for Transmission Through the Mails. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WINDER OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY <*f BARROW Member Ninth Georgia District Press Association.* SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR $1.50 Six Months ”5 Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., July 7, 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 75 Must Come to Winder. The quill drivers of the Ninth District held another meeting in Gainesville recently according to announce ment, and all seemed to enjoy it. Although the edi tor of the Nugget was not present, he was not for gotten. Brother Shannon, of the Commerce News, read a paper before the convention and printed it in the News, being a treatise on the personnel of the edi tors of the Ninth district, which contained many nice words about Editor Townsend, all of which we ap preciate, The next convention meets at Winder. Bro. McWhorter, of the Winder News, has given us a spe cial invitation to attend, and if he can induce Brother Rucker, of the Alpharetta Free Press, to give us the password so we can get some corn liquor in Lumpkin county at $1.40 per gallon we will try to be on hand, right side up with care.—Dahlonega Nugget. Come across, Bro. Rucker, with that pass word. It ain't fair to Bro. Townsend nor to the rest of the press boys of the district for you to have the exclusive right to buy it at $1.40. Bro. Townsend says he has inquired around and he can hear of no pure corn li quor selling in that county for less than $1.75 per gallon with no war tax on it. Surely, George Rucker ain’t talking about “stump Juice.” That ain't worth 10 cents a gallon. While we are sure George don't know the difference between Coca-Cola and any other Cola, we were under the impression that he was a good Judge of liquor. But we fear we are mistaken. Bro. Townsend says there ain't any pure corn liquor for less than $1.75 per gallon up in Lumpkin, and he ought to know. Come on, Bro. Itueker, clear tins tiling up for we're going to get Bro. Townsend to Win der of “bust” up something. O The Water Power Bills Two bills amending the Constitution of the state are before the present legislature. Bill No. 1 makes it possible, by amending the Consti tution, for the State to borrow money to prevent dam age by floods, drain lands, to construct, acquire, or lease and maintain and operate plants for the genera tion, transmission, and sale of electric light, heat and power, or to construct or acquire or lease, maintain and operate transmission lines or other means for the distribution and sale of light, heat and power, however generated. Bill No. 2 makes it possible for municipalities to Incur debts for the same purpose to the extent of 7 per cent in addition, to the 7 per cent already allowed by the Constitution of the state. We hope both bills will be defeated in the legislature. We are opposed to government ownership of piddle util ities. To develop the water powers of Georgia the state will have to borrow money, and the whole thing will get into politics and be mismanaged by inefficient politicians. The business of the state is everybody’s business and hence nobody is particularly Interested in it. Observation and experience lias abundantly shown that the government ownership of public util ities is unwise and expensive. If Georgia gets behind the development of her water powers, her people will be exploited to beat the band. The law that limits the taxing power of the state to 5 mills and the borrowing power of the governor to $500,000, and which limits the taxing power of the municipality to 7 per cent of Its wealth, is a wise law. Let It stand. The way to have our water powers developed is by individuals or private corporations. They can do this work better and more economical. The interests of the public can easily be protected by legislation. \\ e have a Railroad Commission that can look after the interests of the people in these mutters. The Georgia Railway and Power Company is being discussed and “cussed” by some people who want to throw the whole question into polities and are trying to Inflame the public mind against the company. Let it alone. It is doing more to develop the water powers of the state than we could ever get out of government ownership or control. Instead of harrassing it by agi tation aud unfavorable legislation, let us encourage it and similar corporations, so that in the near future nil the splendid water powers that are now going to waste in this state may be developed, and light aud bent and power, necessities to progress and advancement, may be given to our people at a sum cheaper than they can ever hope to get them by throwing the whole-ques tion Into politics said legislatures wrangle over them from Girbon pi, v ... do Winder News office.' * The Costs of Distribution. The News has repeatedly made the statement that we cannot expect normal conditions until the manufactur ed products are brought down in price more nearly on a level with the raw materials. After the raw mate rial leaves the fa mr there is entirely too much cost added to it by the time it reaches the consumer. Eitb er the producer does not get enough for his product or the consumer pays too much. Business is upset on this account, and conditions cannot improve until this wrong is righted. As an illustration of this fact, a ton of spinach was sold by a Texas farmer recently for $5.00. The rail roads charged $50.06 to haul this ton of spinach from Texas fo Chicago. After it reached Chicago, it was retailed to consumers for $560 per ton. Can anyone explain this great difference, a difference of $205 per ton. The man who planted, raised and harvested it got only $5 per ton, while the railroads, produce men and groccrymen got $295 per ton. Can business prosperity prevail under such condi tions? It is plain that it cannot. In this ease some body is profiteering at a terrific rate, and the general business conditions are bound to la* bad until this great difference is lessened to a reasonable amount. When Is a Man Educated? "That man is best educated who can do the greatest number of things to help and heal the world. Schools are useful only as they put men in possession of their own powers; and they cannot do this without the earnest desire of their students to be so helped. Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who Want to learn.”—The Dearborn Independent. The man who wrote the above paragraph is .‘nigh the kingdom.” The best teacher is not the one who knows the most, or who can make the best explanation of the lesson to his students, but the one who can best arouse within them a hunger and thirst after intel lectual power. Every normal human being has wrapp ed within it certain possibilities. If the child is awakened and made to realize its possibilities in life, and th- ambition to win those possibilities is created in the mind of the child it will become educated. Not otherwise. The best teacher this writer ever went to, knew very little about books, and less about how to impart their contents to his pupils; but he had a way of gathering his pupils around him at recess, and telling them about the great things they could do in life. He talked about great men and how they became great. With his mental sunshine and mental moisture he quickened into life the mind-seed of his pupils, and they begun to read and to investigate and find out things. He put them squarely in the road to knowl edge though he could go with them only a little way. Here is one question that we would sound out in every educational meeting iu Georgia:, “How to awaken the child to its possibilities in life.” We might ask other questions, but we would ask this one everywhere and at all times. Not methods and plans avail so much. Put food in reach of the hungry man and he'll find a way to cook it, though he may be ignorant of the culinary art. When the child hun gers and thirsts after knowledge, he will be tilled. Poor teachers anil imperfect plans and methods will not hold him back. O The Walton Tribune Speaks Out. Our good friend, Ernest Camp, down at Monroe, like editor of the Winder News, failed to avail himself of the invitation of the Municipal League of Georgia to be present at a recent meeting in Atlanta. Ernest gave ns his reason that he was not in sympathy with its intents and purposes. We art- glad he expressed himself on this question. He is exactly right. Ernest is sound at heart, though sometimes lie may be swept off his feet by some high sounding and fine spun ideas about helping the "dear peopul." Socialism is one of the smoothest, slickest, best-sounding appeals to the “dear peepul that e\er came down the pike. An its face it would have the people come together, pool their Interests, cut out all middle-men, and make everybody prosperous an happy. Really, it means the pooling of our interests aud turn ing them over to visionary, impractical men or down right dishonest schemers. The progress of the race financially, educationally and religiously must come about through the uplift of the individual. You can't make people prosperous by laws or in multitudes. Neither can you educate them that way. You eaunot save the world as a whole. In every* phase of life, you’ve got to come back to the in dividual and work on him. This seems miserably slow, but then, God has plenty of time, anil he is always sure of his work, and only by working on the individual can he lie sure of his work. The world will be saved one by one, prosperity of the whole will come when each individual is awakened and begins to work and save and economize, aud our nation will become Intelligent when the minds of the individual units that make the nation are awakened atul begin to hunger and thirst after knowledge. This is good doctrine. Ernest, and we know you believe it. You are doing a good work. Keep up the lick. Ed ucate the people along sane, conservative lines. Not often do we disagree with you. And when we do, and tell you about it, it is in the best of humor. “Truth, crushed to the earth, will rise again; The eternal years of God are ber's; But error, wounded, writhes in pain And dies among her worshippers."
