Ninth District Press Notes
Rev. Stanley It. Grubb and Rev. L. W. Collins both
made splendid talks at the dinner hour.
We were glad to have with us Dan Magill, the city
editor of the new Athens Daily News.
1 We would like to hear a “Jint spute" between John
Holder and George Ituoker on that Bible reading
question. , C .#'* ' I
-je . *• ’
jack Patterson ate two dinners and made 2 speeches
on the occasion which U not up to his usual stand
ard. Jack must have been sick.
We regret that Editor Sutlive, of the Savannah
Press, could not be with us. Hope to get him at a
later date.
The Ninth District boys appreciate the kind invita
tion of Editor Davidson to meet in Cleveland. Well
accept that invitation for uext summer.
Col George A. Johns and Col. W. H. Quarterman and
Mr. I.el* Radford sustained admirably the reputation of
Winder people as at'er dinner speak, rs
Ye editor appreciates the splendid co-operation he
received by the the people of Winder in caring for the
visitors. Winder knows how to do things right.
One of the best speeches of the occasion was made
by Claud Mayne. He pointed out quite forcibly some
of the valuable manufactured products of W inder.
Postmaster MeCants must have thought that some
of his creditors were present when he denied so vocif
erously the assertion that he was just loaded down
with money.
All the boys were disappointed in not having Bro.
Townsend of Dahlonega, with us. We deputize Harve
Craig, of Gainesville, to go over and escort him to
Gainesville in December.
Mrs. Sharpe and Mrs. Quarterman both made splen
did addresses at the luncheon hour, while Mrs. Thomp
son delivered one of the best speeches we have ever
heard on the subject she handled at the morning hour.
“Shack” of Lexington, made a good speech at the
dinner Friday, but not as good as that speech he
made on Broughton street in Savannah at the state
press meeting when he was trying to prove the su
periority of “Mountain Dow" over “Savannah Ale.”
We were delighted to have the boys of the Eighth
district with us last Friday. Camp of Monroe: Cald
well, Bacon, Shackelford, Camp, of Watklusvllle; Ma
gill, Ayers, with Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Shackelford,
favored us with their presence. No finer people live
in the good old state of Georgia.

Winder Public Schools are getting down to business
in fine order.

While you are selling your cotton don’t forget that
small amount you owe the News ou subscription.
O
Old King Cotton has become aroused and is show
ing the folks that he is still on the job.
O
That was a good speech that Mayor Bagwell made
at the meeting of the Ninth District editors last Fri
day. He pleaded guilty to the charge of being the
handsomest man in town.
O
The Eighth District editors will meet in Athens
Saturday. We are going over. The Eighth District
hoys are a fine lot and we enjoyed their visit to Win
der last Friday.
O
A heading in the Winder News reads. “Every Voter
Should Express Himself at the Ballot.” Wonder
what McWhorter is going to do with the “Uerselves?”
He must remember that the women are voting these
.lays.—Lavonia Times.
It is understood and well known that the women
will express themselves. We were appealing to the
laggards and careless.
Verily
My son, if thou would'st get silver, yea, and much
fine gold, hide not thy goods under a bushel, nor set
them out upon the side-walk and right in the way
of good men, iest thy customers be filled with sudden
fear and come not near thee, but go thou to the ad
vertising manager of thy local newspaper, and he
shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes; Incline thine ears
unto him. and apply thy heart to understanding, for
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and sound wis
dom. These shall be health to thy navel and marrow
to thy bones; for he shall teach thee in the way of
advertising and lead thee in the right path. So shalt
thy store be filled with customers, and thy cash reg
ister burst out with new money.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, for he
straightway getteth advertising.—W. A. 8., with apol
ogies to King Solomon.
O
It’s Up to Winder
The time has come when the only salvation of the
agricultural industry of this country lies in diversifi
cation. Much has been said in the past about the ne
cessity of changing our system of farming, but the
question Is right up before this section now. What
are we going to do about it.
The farmers are ready to diversify, but what guar
antee have they that they can sell their products.
There is no market for anything in Winder except
cotton, save of a local nature. It is up to Winder
to consider the establishment of a market here foe
other products if we want to assist in the future
progress of our county and section. Even if cotton
continues to advance in price, what can we hope
for if the boll weevil destroys the crop every year?
The business activities of our city will be destroyed
unless we prepare to handle the other products that
the farmers may desire to grow.
Athens is preparing to build warehouses and ele
vators in order to take care of corn, oats ami other
products that may be grown by the farmers. If we
sit still that city will become the market for those
products and our business will be materially lessened.
Winder is one of the best cotton markets in the
state. Every year thousands of bales of the fleecy
staple have been brought to this city from all over
this section ou account of the splendid market that
lias been maintained here. It is not the Minder
spirit to sit down and let other cities outstrip her
in furnishing splendid markets for our agricultural
products. M’inder must arouse herself and by a spirit
of co-operation arrange to have here the very best
markets for all the products that the farmers may
desire to grow.
Our business men should get together and consider
these things aud be ready to establish markets for all
the products that will t>e grown by our farmers.

Notice to Our Subscribers
On account of the stringency of money matters dur
ing the spring and summer, we have carried many
of our subscribers over until the fall and have cheer
fully waited on them for payment. We are now in
need of all this subscription money, and are expecting
our subscribers to help us out in this matter promptly.
The amount you owe us is small, but ull of these small
amounts make a considerable sum to us. M> must
collect it in order to meet our obligations. Look on
the label on your paper, and you can tell when your
time expired. For instance, “John Smith, 23apr„l,
means that John Smith’s subscription expired on
April 23. 1921, and he is due us ou subscription from
that time. Look on your label and if you are behind
come in promptly and help us. Me want to collect
up these back subscriptions by October Ist. Me have
been accommodating you and we feel sure that our
readers are willing now to accommodate us. M'e are
expecting you to help us.

A carload of potatoes was recently received in At
lanta that cost $215. The freight bill was $305. In
other words when you buy SI.OO worth of potatoes you
get only 40 cents worth of potatoes and 00 cents worth
of freight. Can business stand up under this ar
rangement? ' • • •
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a drugless health
science of the cause of socalled
diseases, and the art of adjusting
the human spine when its seg
ments are out of natural align
ment, so that mental impulses
can transmit naturally through
the nerves to provide normal
health function to every organ
and part of the body.

To the Public:
The time is not far distant when we will be ready to
start gathering our potatoes, so we are boosting our
potato curing-house. Even now a truck is canvassing
the county with crates which will be loaned to you in
which to pack your potatoes for storing. If the truck has
not already been to your house, it will be there soon, so
have your order ready, for the number of crates de
sired. If it has already passed you and you did’nt take
any or even enough, call around at the gin and get what
you need, before it is too late, as we have plenty of them,
but, at the rate they are going now, we won’t have them
long. So don’t wait too late.
The cost is twenty-five cents per bushel storage fee
for the season, which is paid when the potatoes are stor
ed. The crates cost you nothing, they are loaned to you.
Be decided by the time Mr. Harwell comes around how
many you desire to store and advise him accordingly.
FAVOR US WITH YOUR GINNING THIS YEAR.
