Barrow county lias a fine prospect for good crops.
O
“An honest man is the noblest work of God,” still
holds good.
O
The banks of Winder have weathered the storm
admirably. They deserve to succeed.
O
Tlie vacation days will soon be over and the boys
and girls will again be* called to “books."
O
The merchant who wishes to do business this fall
will have to luy in a good stock of goods and tell the
public about it.
O
We congratulate our brethren of the Eighth Dis
trict on the reorganization of their press association.
They held a tine meeting in Athens.
O
Everybody should prepare to sow a large grain crop
this fall. Harrow county ought to raise enough
wheat and oats to supply all local demands.
The Home Ties
KEEP the old home ties bright and glowing. Stop
occasionally from work and business cares, and
take the wife und children and visit some of your
kinfolk. Spend the day, and talk over the bygone
days when you were boys and girls. You are for
tunate if you have brothers and sisters to visit. If
not, pick out some of your kin and get on visiting
terms with them.
To enjoy such a day, the family ought to get up a
little earlier than usuul that morning, get ready and
get oft' before It gets too hot. And spend the whole
day. Don't get buck home until dark. Don't rush
back to get the muil or read the daily newspaper or
see how business is going. Forget it all, and go off to
revel In the delights of real fellowship with folk that
know you and that you know and where all preteu
tion Is worthless. And at the supper table that night,
on your return, all the family will have something to
talk about. Every incident of the day will be pleas
antly remembered and discussed well up until bed
time.
These visits strengthen the family ties, and add
much to the joys of life. We like to see related fam
ilies fond of each other, and visit each other often.
Our children should know and appreciate their cous
ins and uncles and aunts and grandparents.
This is a good month in which to visit. It is va
cation time and we can spend a few days getting ac
quainted with our kith and kin.
Harding Attacked Men Who
./ Advised Cotton Holding
GOV. Harding, of the reserve board, scores those men
lu prominent positions, who lust fall, advised the
farmers to hold their cotton.
In discussing the question before the congressional
committee in Washington last Friday, he said:
“The cotton farmer of the United States got some
terribly bad advice in 1920 from Important men, which
I tried to counteract in official channels.
There were conventions held all over the south to
establish the sentiment that cotton growers were mor
ally entitled to get 40 cents a pound for cotton, in
some way or another, no matter what the economic
situation was. There was a sort of campaign, and 1
claim that the men who led this thing and prevented
the average cotton grower from selling his crop,
knowing that many of them were ignorant men, some
negroes, took a terrible responsibility upon themselves
for the present conditions. Men borrowed money to
hold 1919 and previous crops, when it was salable ami
when intelligence dictated a quick selling movement
and a lightening of the load."
The Winder News is oposed to men who hold prom
inent public positions taking n decided stand in urg
ing the farmers to either hold or sell their products.
Their positions give weight to their opinions and those
opinions are Just as likely to be wrong as right. We
have criticised the present state commissioner of ag
riculture for his activities along these lines. We feel
sure he injured the farmer of the state, financially,
last year by his persistent efforts to keep them from
selling their cotfon. He has not been so active lately
in giving them advice. Probably he sees his great
mistake.
Ninth District Press Association
THE Ninth Georgia District Press Association meets
in Winder on Friday, September 2. We are ex-
I looting every newspaper in the district to be repre
sented at this meeting. A strong program Is being
arranged and we hope to make this meeting the best
we have yet had. We put every editor in the district
on notice that we are expecting you. Winder wants
you to visit our city and to see what kind of a city
"we are building here.”

O
The Bond Issue
ON August 20th, the people of Barrow county will
lie called on to vote on the issue of $50,000 worth of
bonds for the purpose of completing the court house
and also for paying some indebtedness that lias al
ready accumulated in connection with the work that
lias been done on the structure. This is a most im
portant question before our people and it should not
be overlooked. The court house is incomplete and
cannot lie of much service to the county as it stands.
If completed, not only will the county be saved much
rent on other rooms but several rooms in the court
house can be rented so as to make the rent received
for these rooms almost pay the interest on the bonds.
It is economy to finish the building as soon as pos
sible.
If bonds do not carry, then it will be necessary to
levy a tax sufficiently large to raise the $50,000, and
this will be a great burden on our people just now.
It strikes us that the best solution of the question is
to issue Hie bonds, finish the court house and then
we can pay the bonds gradually so that no one will
be burdened.
O
Tax Receiver Shedd makes a fine showing of his
work in compiling the tax returns of Harrow county.
He is a splendid official.
O
We congratulate the owner* of tlie Winder Oil
Mill on the enthusiasm shown in rebuilding their
plant which was burned in the spring. This is one
of Winder's successful enterprises and will continue
to prosper.
War and Taxes
Someone has aptly said, “Those who live by the
sword shall perish by the taxes.” The world today is
realizing the truth of this expression. If there was
ever a time in the history of the world when there
was a universal demand for permanent peace it is
right now. Some kind of a world-wide understanding
should be worked out that would forever put.a stop
to wars. Public sentiment everywhere is demanding
it. The men or the parties who, for selfish interests,
would delay the consummation of this great boone to
the human race should be put aside. The nation or
nations that would stand in the way of a permanent
peace among the peoples of the world should he out
lawed and made to understand that the civilized na
tions are through with war for all times.

Carelessness
One of the destructive attributes of the human race
is carelessness. It brings poverty, disease, death.
Much of the suffering of the race is the result of this
inherent attribute. In the education and training of
youth, we last' sight of the importance of eradicating
this destructive enemy. In our homes and in our
schools we should endeavor to impress upon our chil
dren the danger to their happiness and success of this
inveterate and ever-present force. The press gives
daily accounts of accidents and happenings that are
the direct result of carelessness. Some people are
born with this attribute more prominent in their na
tues than others. But in us all the better attributes
of care and precaution can be cultivated and devel
oped, and in this way our chances for success and
happiness In life can be largely increased.
It would be a splendid idea for this subject to oc
cupy a prominent place in the curricula of our
schools. Injurious qualities in our natures can be
eradicated to a large extent by proper teaching and
training. We are getting rid of ignorance and prej
udice. drawbacks to success in life, by means of our
schools and churches, and we can likewise eliminate
by degrees other qualities that detract from the prog
ress of our race. The destruction to life and pop
erty, let alone the mental and physical suffering that
we are called upon to endure, on account of a lack
of precaution, is terrible, and it is high time to think
seriously of some kind of teaching and training that
will have a tendency to decrease the number of un
fortunate accidents and happenings and deeds that
afflict the human race.
O
We are glad to welcome the Elijay Times-Courier
to our exchange list. C. F. Owen, one of our good
friends of the press association, is editor and pub
lisher.
_o
The world is waking up to a realization of the fact
that the south is going to produce an unusually small
amount of cotton this year, and tbe price is beginning
to climb upward.
