Fear Is An Enemy.
One of the greatest enemies of the human race is
fear. It makes coward* of men and dooms them to
failure. Some of the finest illustrations of this truth
nre found in Holy Writ When Peter, the impulsive
disciple, was walking on the sea towards his Lord,
and began to look around him, he saw the boisterous
waves became afraid and began to sink. When the
Lord reached out his hand to save Peter, he said to
the sinking disciple, “Why didst thou fear, O thou
of little faith." Men sink in all phases of life because
of fear. Men go to pieces when they get rattled. It’s
the bold, fearless, courageous soul that wins out in
the struggle with adversities and discouraging con
ditions.
When the children of Israel, on their journey to
wards the promised land, reached its border, they
sent out several of their number to spy out the land
and bring back a report. They brought back a glow
ing description of the land, said that it flowed with
milk and honey, but that it was inhabited by giants,
in whose ey<*s the children iff Israel were but as grass
hoppers. Fear entered the hearts of the people, they
turned back, and for forty years they wandered about
and the.bones of every one of them bleached on the
sands of the wilderness, except Caleb and Joshua,
who were stout hearted and were in favor of going
on and fighting. These two men were'privileged to
lead the children of the cowards into the glorious
laud.
The greatest trouble with the world today is that
we are afraid of each other. We are afraid of the
* value of things. We are afraid to lend money to
each other or aid in other ways. Hence we are
floundering in the wilderness. The spirit of Caleb and
Joshuu, “We art* well able to overcome." will bring
us out of the depression that overshadows us new.
Faith is nothing but fearlessuess and erseverance
and the world needs faith today.

COMMENTS
(Contluued from page li
tious are two of America’s grentest aud
most damning sins. Oue is us bud as
the other.
McWhorter and Camp.
It is good to see an occasional tilt
between two good swordsmen and the
articles in which Editor McWhorter
stands up for the common schools and
Editor Camp defends the colleges show
much thoughtfulness. These articles
are well worth perusing. In fact we
are coming to democracy in education
and some folks are going to see pretty
soon that the masses are not always
going to submit to the classes. So far
Editor McWhorter lias the better of
the argument.
Uncle John Shannon and Prize Fighting
Over at Commerce is one of the best
country editors in the South, a fearless
Christian crusader, one who thinks
deeply and with the boldness of a lion
aud with the right. In last week’s pa
per Bro. Shannon has an editorial on
“The Brutes Fight.” And in it he
shows how 3798 banks could be opened,
the salaries of teachers and preachers
in the state could be doubled, public
school terms increased to ten months
with the cost of the fight.
Uncle .John waxes hot over the evi
dences of heathenism manifest right
here at home and it does the heart and
brain of any good man good to read
such a worthy utterance from a man
who speaks weekly to large multitudes
of growing boys and girls.
Long may this editorial writer live
to fight sin and ignorance.
Claud Cook Frolicking.
Those of us who know Claude Cook
cau hardly think of his doing anything
else except plodding away at his daily
vocation, but now be is off on a vaca
tion. There may be men in Georgia
who are harder workers, who are more
courteous and kindly disposed, who
do more for their communities, hut do
not know of them. There is only one
charge that could be brought against
Cook which a grand jury would find a
bill on and that is for cheating and
swindling some good woman ot of a
true, noble husband.
Think of him at Washington with
the ladies and at Tybee where ocean
breezes blow sporting with the waves
or with the fair damsels from various
sections of the country. Here's hoping
he will have a glorious good time. He
deserves it to lie sure.
Rev. L. W. Collins and the Mountains
The popular pastor of the Methodist
church with Messrs. Carrington and
Broome are in the mountains on a re
JP a man write a better book, preach a better sermon,
or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor,
though he build his house in the woods, the world will
make a beaten path to his door.
-EMERSON.
Never in the history of the automobile business has the
1 truth of this saying been proved so conclusively as in
the SALES of Studebaker Cars in Greater New York
(not including Metropolitan District,) and over the en
tire country in the six months ending June 30, 1921. In
Greater New York in June alone were sold
*
451 New Studebaker
Cars Against 82
in June, 1920
THE fact that this remarkable increase in SALES is
made in a BUYER’S MARKET-when the most rigor
ous inspection and comparison of car-values is made by
prospective buyers-is proof postitve that Studebaker
Cars offer the highest quality at fair prices.
We endeavor at all times to give Studebaker Service
that Satisfies.
All Studebaker cars are equipped with Cord Tires.

creation camp with some half a hun
dred of Winder s best boys. Nacoochee
is an ideal place to have a good, quiet
rest and vacation. The preacher and
the boys have done fine work in church
and in school and richly deserve a two
weeks’ vacation. While we are swel
tering down here, here's wishing them
the best that the glorious mountains
can afford.
Another Preacher Rusticating.
Rev. Stanley 11. Grubb, with Win
der’s Boy Scouts, is this week in Ra
bun county among the mountains hav
ing their annual outing.
This much loved Winder minister
came to his pulpit and jumped right
into a service meeting aud has been
busy ever since. He loves the boys
and they love him. May they have
the vacation that real Scouts alone can
enjoy to the fullest.
Three Progressive Sunday School
Superintendents.
S. F. Maughon, a prominent young
business man and a graduate of Mer
cer University, is the Supt. of the First
Baptist Sunday school. Under his ef
ficient administration the school of
this church is doing fine work aud the
attendance and interest Sticks even
through the sweltering weather.
Claud Mayne, another of our best
business men, holds the Christian Sun
day School. He is up-to-date, and a
Leading spirit in the Georgia Sunday
school association and his school is tak
ing on new life and power.
The genial and successful superinten
dent of the Methodist Sunday school is
W. T. Robinson, the popular furniture
man of Winder. Though out of a
church house and using the school
building lie smiles over the crowds that
weekly gather under his able teachers
to study the word of God. No town
any isi ilu u
our size can boast of three better Bi
ble schools and we have three other
white ones that proportionately are
just as good. These are the Second Bap
tist, the Presbyterian and the Wesley
an. ,
J. Frank Jackson at Second Baptist.
J. Frank Jackson is the oldest evan
gelistist in the employ of the Baptist
Mission Board of Georgia. He is
unique. There is no greater soul-win
ner in the state than this Winder man
and all our citizens love him for his
stalwart defense of truth and right and
his ability to preach the Book.
He has held a number of great meet
ings over at the Second Baptist church.
Over Jthirty united with the
church this time and great crowds
were in attendance. Wherever Jack
son goes he has a meeting, for he hon-

ors God and preaches the old fashion
ed gospel with power.
By the way, the growth of this vig
orous young church has been wonder
ful and its prospects were never bright
er than under the present administra
tion of Rev. J B Brookshire, the pop
ular County School Superintendent of
Barrow schools
Cradle Roil Members
It would do the heart of Roosevelt
good if he could come to Winder and
run his eyes over the cradle roll lists
of the various Sunday schools of Win-
Icq. Bailies! Babies! Babies every
where. No race suicide in our city.
In at least one respect our folks are
obeying the Bilile: “Multiply and re
plenish the earth,” and the dear little
girls predominate too. That is flue
for there is nothing sweeter in the
world than a dear little girl baby and
everyone is worth a million dollars.
Here's Some Simon-Pure Buncombe.
If the present administration really
wants to save the tax payers why not
cut off a lot of useless officials who
draw salaries and that it is about all
they do do.?
Why tax gasoline a cent a gallon?
Why not lop off a lot of officials sup
posed to inspect oil and fertilizers and
tell farmers how to farm who never
did it themselves, and run a lot of so
called agricultural colleges, and put
the burden of their tax on the folks
who have to run their cars.
Why not inspect the road situation in
Georgia and lop off some of the gentle
men dressed in khaki and drawing big
salaries. - charging from $250 up per
mile for surveying roads.
If the present administration wants
to do the fine thing let them cut where
cutting will count and the tax payers
will not howl. But a cent per gallon
on farmers’ gasoline and these so-call
ed officials drawing ten to twenty dol
lars per day doesn’t suit red-blooded
citizens worth a penny.
Other Good Lawyers
Last week through inexcusable dere
liction the name of the nestor of the
Winder bar was left off the list. Than
Col. Wrn. H. Quarterman there is no
cleaner and abler lawyer in Northeast
Georgia and liis standard as a Chris
tian gentleman is just as high as are
his legal ideals. If all practitioners
were as loyal to truth and exalted
Southern ideals as he the world would
he infinitely better off.
Col. R. H. Kimball is at the top in
his chosen profession. A graduate of
Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson
a former teacher and a naturally tal
ented man you would expect nothing
else than success from him.
