“The Wages of Sin is Death.”
The trouble that has overtaken “Fatty" Arbuckle
always comes sooner or later to men and \yomen
who enter into a life of dissipation. Everything in
the world has its price. No good can come of such a
gathering as was held on the night on which the trag
edy occurred. Whether he is guilty or not, one life
was taken to pay for the dissipation of the occasion,
and if Arbuckle is proven guilty, his life too, may be
demanded as a further price of the carousal.
Some of these days, probubly in the far distant fut
ure, men and women may learn that it pays to be
decent, upright, moral, to regard their fellowman and
to fear God.

The Eighth District Editors
Ye Editor thoroughly enjoyed last Saturday in
Athens mingling with the editors of the Eighth dis
trict and the hospitable citizens of that splendid city.
Athens is a great city, live, hosptable and progressive.
.She has a splendid chamber of commerce with E. W.
Carroll, an all round tine character, as secretary. He
is wide-aweke to every movement that affects the
growtli of his city. A splendid program had been
prepared by Editor Ernest Camp, of Monroe, the pres
ident of the association. The address of Mr. M. G.
Michael, one of Athens’ leading merchants, was es
pecially strong and impressive. The addresses of wel
come by Mayor Andrew C. Erwin and Mr. Albrt Da
vison. another prominent merchant of that city, were
very cordial and made all feel that the city was glad
to have the visitors with them.
The dinner at the State Normal school was fine, and
Hon. Jere M. Pound, the president of this great in
stitution, is doing a work there that is proving a
tremendous agency for the enlightenment and culture
of the womanhood of Georgia. Every visitor was
charmed with the splendid hospitality accorded them.
The State Normal is a potent factor in the education
al activities of Georgia, and its president and facul
ty are to he congratulated on the great work they are
doing. There is no better school in the South, and
the hundreds of girls who annually attend the insti
tute n prove that it is abundantly meeting the needs
of the people along this line.
Costa, the ice cream man, known throughout this
section by everybody, placed the editors under obliga
tions to him by his kind and thoughtful hospitality
He has a great business, and it is constantly growing.
We thank tin* Eighth district boys for the kind
invitation to he with them and for the pleasant day.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
O
Free School Books.
It is quite evident to every observer that the ten
dency of the times is toward socialism. “Free
things” are attractive propositions to the average
human mind. But in the end they are the most
costly and destructive “things" we can have. There
is no truer expression in Holy Writ than “Every man
shall hear his own burden.” Yet, there is no doubt,
but that the desire of most people is to shift this
burden upon the shoulders of others.
The Commerce News, in discussing this question,
says:
“This is an age when many people are demanding
something for nothing. Lawless people who ure bur
glarizing mercantile establishments and robbing banks
belong to this class. They want something for noth
ing. Many people who belong to our churches want
salvation free. They want to go heaven when they
die. but they want to ride in on flowery beds of ease.
Under our present system every child in the state
of school age can be admitted to the school room ab
solutely free of tuition during the public school term.
It does seem that the state lias gone as far as it should
in that direction. And even if further freedom is
granted, certainly there is no reason or common
sense in providing free books for children whose par
ents are well able to buy them. If there are orphans
or children of widows who are not able to buy books,
and if these children will be denied an education on
that account, and if those in the community have not
enohgh interest in this class of children to procure
books in some way, theu it might be well for the state
to furnish hooks to this unfortunate class of children.”
The Winder News believes that everything in this
world lias its price. Moreover, we believe it is de
structive to human effort and human progress for any
one to enjoy anything without paying for it. Gifts
are dangerous. They make beggars and weaklings
out of people. The right kind of a man doesn’t want
anybody to give him anything. He wants to bear his
own burden and keep off of his fellowmen. He wants
to be a real mnn. This is the spirit that wins out
in the world. We need to cultivate it.
Just as the Commerce News says, “Give us free
school teachers, free school houses, free books, free
trucks to haul the children to school, and after awhile
will want free clothes, free food, freedom from taxa
tion and freedom to do as we please."
O
Winder’s cotton market is still standing right at
the top. Her cotton buyers are the most alert and
progressive in the state, and every farmer that brtugs
his cotton here Is assured of getting the top of the
market for it. Winder’s reputation as a cotton mar
ket is constantly broadening and bales of the fleecy
staple from distant sections are flindlng their way
here to be marketed.
O
The article by Hon. John M. Williams. In this issue
of the News, is alright. Head it and profit thereby.
