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. O The corn acreage in Georgia is 15 per aant over what It was last year. This is good. It looks now us if Georgia will beeorne a food-producing stute. O The police have declared war on the night “joy riders,” and “spooners,” around Atlanta. Not a bad idea. O While some sections of the state nre dry, Barrow and adjoining counties have had good rains of late and crops are looking well. L- . 0 I The silver dollar ts coming back into circulation again. Silver lias been called the poor man’s money, and we hope it will be plentiful. (' O Claude and ye editor are in Washington this week attending the Georgia Press Association. Cluade will feo on to Tybeo for a dip in the surf. We fear some mermaid will get him and lie’ll never get back to Winder. O Editor Townsend, of the Dahlonegu Nugget, signi fies ills willingness to attend tin* next meeting of the lith district editors which is to be held at V inder in Setember, provided editor McWhorter, of the Wlu der News will assure him, that he has quoted the price of corn liquor correctly. Never mind about the price Townsend, just come on down and sample the McWhorter brand. —Commerce News. O We hereby express our sympathy with Banks coun ty chickens for the Elberton district Methodists nre in session at New Salem, near Arp, and after the meeting Is over, the probability is that there will not be a single yellow legged fry chicken left in Banks county. —Commerce News. Here’s John Shannon expressing his sympathy for Banks county fry chickens, and we’ll bet he’s the wojgt enemy chickens have In Jackson county. It is reported that he has eaten more chickens to his age than any man in Georgia. —O Notice to Correspondents. On account of the lenghty grand jury recommenda tions and the fact that the e.litor of this paper and oue of the lesser lights are attending the press con vention it Is impossible for us to use correspondence from over the county in this issue. M e regret to leave them out but couldn’t help It. In future we hope to use all letters that reach us not later than Tuesday evening. , The Revival Closes At The Second Baptist The series of evangelistic meetings which have been In progress for three weeks 4t the Second Baptist church, came to a close Sunday night. Large crowds have been in attend ance upon these meetings. Many nights many people were unable to get on the inside. Rev. J. B. Brookshire, the pastor, re joices over the preeminent success of these services. Rev. J. Frank Jackson daily brought some of the strongest messages of his life and as a visible result a number of new members have been added to the church. The singing was in charge of Mr. James Brock and was a very pleasing and helpful feature of the meeting The childrens’ choir was especially in teresting. The meeting has had much to' do with raising the moral tone of the town and it is felt by all the regular congregations tlpit mucin permanent and lasting work was done. Bro. Jackson started his ministerial career at Winder and nil of our cit izens are justly proud of the fine work he is doing over the state. The crowd Sunday night was one of the largest in the history of the church. Rev. W. H. Faust baptised the can didates Sunday afternoon y. the First church at four o'clock.

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. THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR Williams Bros. Garage WINDER, GA. 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- BUBSCRIPTION: *1.50 A YEAR 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.
