FINE RAIN FALL IN THISSECTiON This section lias been visited by fine rains during the past ten days and the crops are growing right along. The corn crop is unusually good and Bar row comity has more food crops within its borders this year than ever before. Besides an unusually large corn crop, large acreages have been planted in sweet potatoes, sorghum, and other food crops. The cotton crop is looking flue and unless the boll weevil destroys it Barrow county will make a good crop of the fleecy staple. The farm ers are putting up a stiff fight and if the boll weevil is not routed it will not be their faj*lt. We believe a good crop of all kinds will be grown by this county this year and that next fall will see business re suming its normal const! itions. Let’s quit complaining and to a hopeful mood get down to business.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS AND BOY SCOUTS A CONTRAST By L. W. Collins They say that if you really want to know folks, all you have to do is to spend a week in camp with them. The good-natured, the selfish, the grouch, all have a chance to let others know their true selves, when forced to spend the greater part of each day in such close proximity to forty or fifty oth ers. To say the least, it is wonderful training in sociable living., And after several days spent with so many of the young women of Winder, it is easy to have a far better opinion of the twen tieth century girl, the maker of the homes of the future. As for Winder girls—well, they just don't make them any better. They are obliging, indus trious, talented and unselfish —and ev erything else that it takes to make up winsome womanhood. It was more than interesting to ob serve the contrast between the two camps. This is not to the disparage ment of the boys, for they are just dif ferent. But last week the camp looked continually as if a cyclone had struck it—a shirt here, a bathing suit there, a towel in the bushes yonder. But now behold ! Tents and cottages look as If everything were in readiness for a re ception ; everything in place even to the flowers on the camp table. What could we do without them? And then the appetites! The boys would pass back their plates time after time and then call in vain for more With prac tically the same meals, we have had to beg the girls repeatedly to eat what is left over. It is true, however, that |up in this mountain air, we all stay I hungry most of the time in spite of our hard working cooks. There is j something else new this week. Every ! night, over the hills, you can hear the | sound of the well-balanced voices in beautiful harmony. You will hear the 1 “Camp Winder” song when they come home. But if music is so uplifting in ■ its influence, why can’t we teach our boys to sing? Saturday night was stunt night, and tiio’ it rained outside, it was all sun shine inside. So much talent was there and such an elaborate program, that it was decided to postpone part of it till Monday. Day , after day some other member of the camp re ports a mastery of the art of swimming —for it's all in the first stroke, after all. We are training by daily hikes for a grand attempt to scale Mount Yonah, and Winder girls are going to be daunt ed by this either. The camp is Already an annual affair Over one hundred young people have vmeu to come tack again next summer, including many who are unfortunate ly unable to attend the present camp on account of lack of room. It has been very much worth while. This young generation is worthy of the very best that can be builded into their lives, and a camp such as this will Guild mus cle, brain and spirit. The camp man agement, with all the host who helped plan tlds trip for the young people, lias done splendid work. Where they have failed to do as much as they hoped, they will be aide to improve upon it next year. These young folks, most of them, are coining hack home with high er ideals, with stronger bodies and more willing minds to apply themselves to their home tasks. Our young peo pleple do not need so much repression as direction for their energies, and they will respond nobly to any effftrt to call forth the best that is in them, when there is any small effort made on our part to enter into their inter ests and their concerns. The biggest thing, of course, was the camp Are. Let the scout poet, W. M. Tories, of Camp Teeumseh, tell us uliout this in his own words. The memories of these evening hours of de votion, we hope will linger long in the minds of all our campers here, “After supper we got started On a featur uv the camp That desarves tew hev its rankin’ With the boat-ride an’ the tramp; Thet wuz when we got the Camp Fire Fer tew burnin’ warm an’ light, An’ hatched up impromptoo programs Fer tew make the even’s bright. Hingin', speakin’, tellin’ stories, Spinnin’ yarns, an’ stories read Out uv books, made time fly swiftly, Till ’t wuz time to git tew bed. Thun we’d finish up our evenin’ By a gratitudeful prayer, Givin’ up our souls an’ bodies Tew a lovin’ Father’s care. Ah! them days wuz days uv blessin’ Good Roads Boom in The Ninth District With the prospect of excellent crops and an outlook for satisfactory busi ness conditions this fall, the counties of the ninth congressional district are developing increased interest and enthu siasm for the construction of good roads, according to Frank T. Reynolds secretary of the Georgia State Automo bile association. Mr. Reynolds spoke last Saturday in Cleveland, White county, in behalf of a SIOO,OOO good roads bond issue which will soon be voted on in that county “The Ninth congressional district is composed of nineteen counties and witli one exception is the largest district in (lie state,” said Mr. Reynolds. “Ten of the counties, Batiks, Barrow, Daw son, Fannin, Gilmer, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Towns and Union, have voted a total of $1,190,000 for good roads and this congressional district lias only three districts ahead of it in the state in this matter. That is a mighty good showing and when you take into con sideration the taxable value of the Ninth, it beats any other district in the state.” D. 0. CARRINGTON SUFFERS ACCIDENT Rifle Accidentally Discharged, Hall En ters Side.—Wound Not Serious, Mr D. O. Carrington, who conducts a restaurant, and meat market on Broad street, and who is one of the well known citizens of Winder, was painfully shot last Monday.
