PARHAM Business Manager Entered at the Postofflce at Winder, Georgia as Second Class Matter for Transmission Through the Mails. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WINDER OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY of HARROW Member Ninth Georgia District Press Association, SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR- * l -®° Six Months Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., August 4, 1921. _ 112 Candler Street Telephone No. i3 The senate has passed a bill requiring the Bible to be read in school*. If it could make a law that would cause more respect for the teachings of the Bible out of school 'twould be much better. —Ogle- thorpe Echo. Well said, Editor Shackelford. We don’t think much of any compulsory Bible reading law in our schools. The past two thousand years ought to teach us the danger of connecting in any manner the stute and religion. But the time seems to be approaching wherein the state will tnke absolutely charge of a fellow. If the government is going to take charge of him every other way, we might as well let it say what his religion shall be also. Those who attended the late Georgia Press Conven tion stated that “Bro. Townsend of the Nugget, was the only editor on the Oth district who was übsent.” We had to stay at home and keep thechickens out of the garden.—Dablouega Nugget. We are going to send somebody up to Dalilonega on Saturday, September 2nd, to keep the chickens out of Bro. Townsend's garden, while he’s off down here in Winder attending the Ninth District Press Association. Make your arrangements, Bro. Townsend to come, we are expecting you. O The Winder News is eminently correct in wanting the system of rotating president of the Georgia Press Association discontinued. The president should be selected for his fitness for the position and not on the manner in which his city might have entertained the/ associa t ion.—G reensboro Hern Id - J ournal. We are sure that a great many of the newspapers of the association feel just as the Herald-Journal has expressed itself, hut then, Bro. Williams has always had a way of talking out in the open. O Let the Government Pay. The newspaper receives in nearly every mail a re quest for the publication of “stuff" advertising some feature of the uatioual government—advising the peo ple to rush to the postofflce or bank and buy goods or savings stamps, or urging young men to Join the army, or navy, or telling of the public examination for post masters or rural carriers or other government jobs, or something else pertaining to Uncle Maui’s many lines. But It is made plain that nothing can be paid for the publication. The man who sends out these requests, or rather who superintends the matter, is one of the high-priced fellows, and of course when the salaries of the Job-holders and the other employes, who work as little as possible and draw all the money they can, are paid there Is nothing left for the newspaper.— Dawson News. _ , t *Cv *•*"* - - 'll ; * r o Federal Reserve System Scored r by John Skelton Williams John Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the currency, Is making Governor Harding, of the reserve board, and Governor Strong, of the New York reserve bank, sit up aud take notice. Mr. Williams charged that the tesefre board had counteranced undue lendings to a New York banking group during the last two years, for speculative uses, while forcing liquidation in southern aud western ag ricultural districts, and that it had allowed extortion ate interest charges and generally failed to ease dowu inflation. A great many people think Mr. \\ illiatns is right in his charges. They think that the sudden collapse last fall was the direct result of the liquidation forced by the federal reserve board. At least, no harm can come by a discussion of the facts connected with the sudden depression that hit the country last fall, and the causes that led to it. The spirit manifested by Governor Harding of the reserve board and Governor Strong, of the New York board, is not to their credit. ‘The people want to know the truth. Those who have lost fortunes by the sudden collapse of things are entitled to know why the reserve board began to force liquidation in so drastic a man ner all at once. We have always looked upon Mr. Williams as a safe and sane financier, lie has been comptroller of the currency, aud anything he may say curries weight with it. He cannot be brushed aside by calling him ugly names, and charging him with sinister motives. Let the investigation proceed. * Self Pity.- One of the most destructive forces that hinders the progress and success of human beings is self pity. By it you confess your weakness, and to confess weakness is to be weak. Strong people do not in dulge in self pity at all, neither do they want others to pity them. We should never put ourselves In tlie attitude of expecting others to pity us. Neither should we ever indulge in self pity. To feel sorry for yourself is to excuse yourselt for being weak and for failing in your efforts, and this means a still fur tliat downward slide in the mire of defeat and des pair. Success comes to the fellow that knows no defeat. To admit your defeat and to feel sorry for yourself because ot it, is the worst of folly. “Asa man be lieveth in bis heart, so is lie,” says Holy Writ. If he believes he is weak and has failed and should be pitied, then that vital inward force of the mind that is so necessary to success is lowered and gradually the man goes down the decline to permanent defeat. He gives up. He lights no longer. The door is closed upon him. He is cast out in darkness where “there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.” 0 Looking Upward There is no doubt but that business conditions are beginning to look up some. This doesn’t mean that cotton will go back to forty cents per pound. It doesn’t mean that those who bought lands at inflated prices will get out of the hole in which their wild enthusiasm put them without any loss. There has been and is going to be loss all around. Every ves tige of the Inflation will be wiped out and those who were caught in the receding current will have to pock et their losses and go back to work on the new basis of the value of things. But there is no doubt but that we can tell better now how to proceed In a business way than we could in the spring of the year. Things have become more stable and we know better now how to plan for the coining months. Wages are being cut In all public enterprises, and the relative values of the raw mate rial and the manufactured product nre getting closer together. They have been too far apart for the past six months. People are beginning to realize that the days of wild speculation and extravagant living of the past few years have gone with no hope of return, and they are becoming resigned to the inevitable. Our lands nre just as productive as ever. Our cities are just as necessary as they were two years ago. We have lost none of our land and none of our ability to work and create wealth. We really have not lost anything tangible. We were led to believe that we were wealthier than we really are because of the glamor of things. The glamor is gone and we find ourselves with the same land, the same homes, the same property we had before the war and that the value of these things is about the same as they were before the war. Things are coming around alright. Take care of your business and conduct it like you did when times were normal. You were succeeding then, and you will succeed now. You can’t make money as fast as you thought you were making it a year or so back, hut the present will be a reality and not a dream. Take courage, friend. Put on your old work clothes so to speak, and go to it. You will win. The State University Representative Wyatt, of Troup county, in the course of a speech made on the floor of the house of representatives in Atlanta this week, used the following words: ‘‘l hud to work my way through school, but I couldn’t go to the university because of the expense and factionalism. I have a brother working Ills way through school now aud he can't go to the university. There is uo doubt but therq is a lot of criticism of the expense attached to sending a boy to the State University. We do not know if this criticism Is just or not. We cannot understand why it should cost a boy more to attend the state university than Emory or Mercer or Oglethorpe universities. These latter re ceive no state aid and are sustained by tuition fees and popular and denominational donations. A financial report from Uie state Institution show ing the amount of money expended, the number of professors in the schools, the number of students iu tlie university proper, the cost to the state per pupil, and other Information would be welcomed by many people of the state. There are a great many people In Georgia unfriendly to the state university, aud they are becoming more numerous year after year. That institution must cul tivate the friendship of the plain, common people of the state, show them what it is doing and what It is costing the tax payers, and prove to them it is an asset of great value to Georgia. The News has its views about colleges and the common schools, and we note that regard for the common schools is growing year after year, among the masses, while the uufriendly ness for the university is increasing. Time will work out the problem right. O Governor Hardwick has mode a tine selection in the appointment of Hon. John N. Holder on the State highway) commission. He is not only asplendid newspaper man, but one of the best business men in this section of the state. We hope he will accept and give his time and talents to this great work, oue of the greatest that now confronts our people.
