August 11, 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 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.” t 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. 4 o 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.
