its are better than ever before and
large crowds are attending. The at

and Barrow county have given them
selves over to taking in the fair this

"The parade Tuesday morning was fine

Ernest Harry Hodges.
The parade of the school children war
the largest since the first year of the

rade.
Governor Hardwick Speaks
Governor Hardwick spoke to a tre
mendous crowd at 3 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon. The governor was at his best
i.iui he delivered a tine speech and was
heartily cheered by his hearers, lie
-.poke along rhe lines of taxation and
.slowed ihat he is deeply interested in
getting the state out of the quagmire
of debt. Mr. Hardwick is a tine speak
er and has a large following through
out* this section. He was met at the
depot by a representative committee of
our people who extended the courte
sies of the city, and he was given a
cordial reception by our people, lie
was introduced to the large audience
by Rev. W. H. Faust in his usual hap
py manner.
School District Exhibits.
There are 12 school district exhibits
every one of which did credit to those
districts. They were County Line, Mul
berry. Central. Rockwell. Parish. Par
adise. Bethlehem. Auburn. Oak drove.
Chandlers. Bethel, and Mt. Bethel.
These displays show conclusively the
great possibilities of this county and
section and that our people should not
grumble. We can live at home if we
will only fry.
Individual Exhibits.

ual exhibits from among the various
farmers of the county, among them we
note the exhibits of H. A. Hardigree.

as, P. E. Adams. ,1. H. Bedingfleid, and.
W. Fuller. John Simonton, M. K. May
nard and and. S. Summerour. These are
all flue and show the splendid thrift of
these citizens of our county.
The Boys’ Pig Club.
We noticed that there are about 14
line young shouts, the property of the
hoys of the county who entered the pig
club the first of the year. Every one
of these pigs has grown to be fine hogs
and the boys have made'a fine record.
We hope to bo able to publish next
week the 1 names of the boys who enter
ed this club.
Other Exhibits.
There are many other exhibits that
we have not space to mention. Mr. A.
I). Collins lias a fine number of Jersey

Commerce. A
Ladies Department.
Among the very best exhibits of the
fair are the exhibits of the ladies of
the county. The display of canned
goods, cooking, sewing, art work, paint
ings, etc., show the finest skill, and
proves conclusively that Barrow coun
ty has the finest bunch of good house
wives in hll tbe state. We were de
lighted with their work. If you have
not seen their work yet go hack and
take a look at their exhibits. It is
worth while.
Poultry Department.
This department is tip top. All
kinds of chickens were on exhibition,
and just as fine as you will see any
where in all the country.
Colored Exhibits.
We were surprised at the exhibits of
the colored people. House’s school and
Tanner's school both had magnificent

the patrons and children of these two

Camp. The event of the evening was
an address by Hon. John N. Holder, of
Jefferson, recently appointed lay leader

quent speech that gripped bis audience
from the very beginning, Mr. Holder
told of the opportunity of the laymen
for service in the church today. He
lauded the spirit of brotherhood and
charity manifested ine the fraternal or
ders but declared that the ehruch should
have first place in the heart of .every
follower of Christ, and that the work
of the church called for meu of varied
talents, and had a work for each man
to do.

the opening of the new house of wor
ship. The social service committee
told of numrous activities that had
been engaged in by the members of the
dub.
The boys work committee thanked

Bavenson. The meeting adjourned af
ter a social half hour during which the
hostess served a delicious fruit course.
sive. E. W. Wansley had an individu
al exhibit that was fine. He must be
a live, progressive farmer of his race.
We commend these colored people on
the exhibits that they made.
Our Police Force.
The police force, including the spe
cial officers that are on duty this week,
are doing splendid work in preserving
order. Chief Earl McElroy and Police

WINDER HIGH
DOWNS ELBERTON
Coach l’agc with 17 of his young
sters journeyed over to Elberton Fri
day morning for their tirst football
I game of the season with the Elberton
! High School. A downpour of rain fell
! for thirty minutes before the game
| which made it hard going for both
I teams, however, it was a thrilling affair
from start to finish with Winder High
taking the big end of the score, 11 to 7.
Hill kicked off to Elberton who return
ed the hall thirty yards then on the
next formation Rucker for Elberton
dashed thirty yards around left for the
first touchdown. The balance of the
j first quarter was fought on mid-field
j with neither team scoring. The sec
lond quarter started with more fight
ithan ever but the Elberton lads were
; unable to hold the Winder boys on liae
plunges for Harrison’s hard plunges
; put the Oval over for the first toueh-
Idown for Winder within three minutes
[of play. P. Hill later kicked goal, tic
| ing the score. With four minutes to
iplay P. Hill dashed around right end
! for the second touchdown, later kicking
goal, here the second quarter ended so
did the scoring.
Third and fourth quarters were
fought on mid field, however danger of
scoring was shown several times by
both teams. Rucker for Elberton.
showed best for his team while for Win
der the entire team showed splendid
form: their line held like a brick wall,
never being broken. The back field is
light but has world's of spins! and it
was displayed in great form. Coach
Page has worked hard with the boys
for the past month trying to put out a
winning team so that the people of
Winder might see some real football.
But it takes something more than boy
to make a football team, and with
your presence and support at these
games they expect to win. Friday the
Elberton boys will be visitors to our
city in the afternoon. The two teams
will meet at Valley Park for the second
game. Let's everybody try Wd see
this game, show your spirit for its half
of the game. The game will start
promptly at four o’clock.

WHISKEY RUNNING
AUTO IS CAPTURED
A break neck pursuit of a whiskey
running automobile ended four miles
from Athens Monday morning when a
whiskey car turned turtle as it was
cornered by n pursuing posse from
Jackson county and a posse from
Clarke county that went to intercept
it. No one was hurt. One hundred
gallons of whiskey in two barrels, and
the car were confiscated and two pret
ty young women and a man were ar
rested and taken hack to Jefferson jail
for trial.
The pursuit started at Jefferson on a
tip to Sheriff Collier and was contin
ued at a sixt.v-mile an hour gait, with
the pursuing posse keeping up a steady
volley of lire at the tires of the fleeing
automobile. Careening and sliding on
the wet road, the whiskey runners kept
their'' lead on their pursuers until the
posse from Athens was sighted in
front, waving down the driver with
their weapons while the steady crack
of the shots sounded behind him. He
lost control and the big machine plun
ged off the road, turning half over and
spilling its occupants and the whis
key just a few yards from the county
line.
The parties in the car gave their
.names as Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Plurner
and Mrs. Mabelle Williams, of Augus
ta. The sheriff of Jackson county
thinks th(>se are not the real names of
the parties. They said that they se
cured the tiquor in Dawson county
and were on their way to Augusta.
They are being held in jail in Jefferson
where they will he tried.
Employee* Offer Take
Over The Gainesville
Midland Railroad.
i
An interesting proposition lias been
i made to the owners of the Gainesville
railroad by the employees of that road.
They propose to take over the road and
operate it. Rather than see the road
! scrapped it would boa good idea to let
'them make the experiment.
We have the following information
1 in regard to said road which bears an
Athens date line:
Employees of the Gainesville Mid
land railroad which runs between Ath
ens and Gainesville and between Gaines
villel and Monroe, will take over the
operation of that road if proposals made
to George J. Baldwin, of New York,
president of the company, are acvept
ed.
The proposals, which were made by
the operatives through J. T. Adair, of
Athens, for several years, and now en
gineer on the Midland, follow the vol
untary throwing of the road into a re
ceivership and the subsequent petition
to the Interstate Commerce commission
to dismantle it.
At the same time the proposal of
the employees became known it was
learned that there is a group of sub
stantial business men in Athens who ure
willing to pay the company more for
the road than it would bring if it were
Scrapped and the iron marketed. These
men will make this offer rather than
the road thrown out of commission,
r is stated. Athens business men ure
interested particularly in the Athens-
Jeffer-on part of the road, it being un
derstood that the company especially
desires to junk that part.

ami little sister. The wind shield was

FORD CARS AND
TRUCKS SELLING
Dr. C. B. Mott, the malinger of the
King Motor Cos. in this city is very
optimistic over outlook In this section
of the state. 11c says that good times
have arrived ill Burrow county and
in this section of the state. He sold
10 Ford cars and one Fordson tractor
late *eck. He is doing a line business.
Woodruff Hardware
Sale Draws Immense
Number of Buyers.
The great sale that is going at the
Woodruff Hardware Company is at
tracting attention all over this section.
Their large store was crowded to its
utmost capacity the morning the sale
started and has been crowded every
day since. This Is evident proof that
they are selling goods at truly bargain
prices, because you can not fool the
buying public. In this issue of The
News is a picture of their store front
on the morning that the sale started. If
you haven't visited this store yet or
even if you have do not fail to get your
share of the bargains that they are
giving the people of Barrow and ad
joining counties.
THE MILL SCHOOL.
Why is it that some people respond
to every good cause in the tip-building
of a city and some people Just exist
right on and do practically nothing,
but wag their tongues? l'lease, Win
der people, think about that question
ttnd see if you can’t do a little bit more
toward beautifying and helping the
mill side of town to raise good citizens.
Remember the older citizens are setting
examples and to be honest with you
some of the examples of cleanliness
around the stores, mills, offices and va
cant lots are bad. One more week is
going to t>e given for you men and la
dies to clean up. You know trash, old
barrels and every kind of junk when
you see it, so sweep around and make
tilings attractive.
There are always some schools neg
lected in spite of teachers and a few
doing their best. The mill school inis
been neglected and yet it is under the
public school system just the same.
The big Winder Public School lias a
good bit of equipment (such as maps,
charts, globes, reference books, etc.)
and too, an attractive play ground with
drinking fount, shoot-to-shoot, basket
bails, ocean waves, goggling board,
vaulting poles, etc. Now ask what we
have at the mill school along those
lines. Nothing but a victrola. Yes, noth
ing. l)o you understandV And it isn't
fair, neither is it a square deal. We
aren’t mad, but we do believe in peo
ple getting a square deal in life. If
somebody doesn't root and squeal for
that square deal, smashing feet are on
the weak who can’t help themselves
and consequently they stay down for
ever.
We have hail good response in sever
al of our undertakings, and we do ap
preciate it. but here is a place where the
different Sunday school classes, clubs
und individuals can do some missiona
ry work right at home.
The following is u list of things need
ed, wanted and that will be appreiuted.
A globe, maps of the continents, more
black board (we have about 18 feet
to each room), drawing equipment,
drinking fount, scissors for class room,
drawing and cutting, yard sticks, flow
er vases, stain for new book case, good
books, magazines for pupils, also pat
rons, anything for a kitchen, we have
a four burner stove engaged, victrola
records (as we have only a few) and
any kind of play ground equipment.
Yours for a good school.
