A citizen of Winder told us a few days ago that
coni liquor had reached the low price of $2.00 per gal
lon in Barrow county and the editor of the News
hasn’t said a word about it in his priee list. Dah
lonega Nugget.
The reason we have omitted it from our price list
is that Ihe war tax is so heavy in Harrow county that
we can’t compete with our good friend from Lump
kin county who prices it at $1.75 without any war tax.
o
W L. Williamson, who has a summer home in Moun
tain City, showed us a statement of the hank of Clay
ton, located In Rabun county. The demand deposits
amount to more than $292,000 with cash in the vault
of more than $93,000. Rabun does not produce a bale
of cotton. It is a mountain county where the people
live at. home. Commerce Ohs Tver.
Now, Paul, don’t you try to create a suspicion in
the minds of I tie people down tills way as to how
those mountain folks made their money.

With a full half crop in this section and a bale of
rotten bringing one hundred dollars, not including
the seed, it’s no time to take a rope and go to the
woods. Get on the boosting band wagon Commerce
News.
Editor Shannon i.s right. This section of the state
has made a fair cotton crop and the farmers are get
ting twice as much for it as they expected. It is much
better thun it was in IDI-4- when we made a full crop
and received 7 cents for it. Let’s pay our debts ns
far as we possibly can, take courage and go forward
A gentleman told us the other day from Winder that
they had some five or six men in jail in that city
charged with the recent most horrible murder. They
went to the man's house, who was charged with sell
ing liquor and keeping a had house and shot him
down. Then when lying on the floor stood over him
and shot two holes clear through ids body, besides
opening his shirt bosom and stabbing him twice in the
breast. Yet we are so good we must divide our re
ligion with the far-away heathens, when we haven’t
got any to spare.— Pnhlonega Nugget.
We do not think it was us had as our good friend
from Puhlonoga has heard it, though it was bad
enough as it was. The men in jail were turned loose
at the preliminary trial on account of a lack of evi
dence, but we can assure our brother that the grand-
Jur.v that is now in session in this city will sift the
case to the bottom and no effort will be spared to get
at the parties who did the killing. Burrow county
people are not heathens by any means, and they do
not propose to let this matter rest until every effort
is expended in seeing that the guilty are brought to
just ice.
O
Gainesville Midland Railroad
In this issue of the News appears an article from
the Jackson Herald concerning the precarious condi
tion of the Gainesville Midland railroad. This road
is one of the most important assets of Winder, Bar
row county and this section of the country, and its
abandonment would be a terrible blow to our city. It
is high time that the people who live along the liue
of this road realize its wortli to them and In every
possible way seek its prosperity. It cannot live with
out patronage.
Without the Gainesville Midland Winder would have
only one road and would miss the advantages of com
petitive freight rates. The station between Winder
and Monroe and Winder and Gainesville would be
cut off entirely from any railroad service and this
would mean a great blow to these sections. There
ought to be some concerted action taken by the peo
ple along the line to save the road. Probably public
meetings of the business meu along the Gainesville
Midland would help in arousing nn Interest in its wel
fare. The News stands ready to do its part in trying
to get up such a meeting in Winder. Meetings could
ta* held in other towns and in this way the interests
of the road brought before the people.
A Call To The Parents
The grandjuries of Fulton county and Elbert coun
ty have called upon the parents of thesj- counties to
take a stand for better social conditions in their midst.
Wo would be glad if the grandjury of Barrow county
which is in session now, add its endorsement to the
suggestions made by tile grandjuries of Fulton and
Elbert. Manliness and real worth among our young
men and modesty and womanliness among our young
women arc put down now as old-fashioned and out
of date. This spirit i- destroying the very attributes
that make for strong, lofty characters, and no people
can survice when its ideas of life become loose and
careless: —TUas—promiscous sex dance in which young
ladies are embraced by members of the other sex.
midnight joy riding, and proniiseous bathing up and
down th creeks and rivers and in the lakes by both
sexes clad often In indecent bathing costumes are de
stroying all respeei for virtue and the loftier ideals of
life. Our courts and grandjuries can Vic of inestima
ble value in creating public sentiment against these
waves of loose ideals that seem to Ik* dominating our
people. The preachers are speaking out, but the pub
lic expects them to do this, and their sermons are be
coming commonplace. If our officials and men in au
thority, whose offices give weight to their words,
would speak out on these things, wo believe it would
have great weight in moulding public opinion.
O *
Now For Next Year.
This section of Georgia is in much better shape
than we expected. Many debts will be paid, business
is reasonably good, and our people are wearing a bet
ter look. This is good.
Now is the time to plan for another year. The cot
ton crop will be gtahered early, and every farmer in
Barrow county and throughout this section will have
plenty of time to sow a large grain crop. We have
raised a great com, potato and sorghum crop this
year. Now, let’s go in for a great wheat and oat crop
next year as well as another great crop of corn, pota
toes and syrup.
The boll weevil lias shown us what he can do. Just
visit some counties south of us and you will see the
terrific destruction that this pest lias inflicted on those
people. Let’s hern the lesson thoroughly right now.
lets not wait to be knocked down before we come to
our senses. Oats ought to lie sown in October and
w heut early in November. Just as soon as we gt the
cotton picked out on some of our lands, let’s put in a
crop "f wheat and oats that will supply our ow n fami
lies and leave a little for the fellow that lives in town.
Wouldn’t it lie great if Barrow county could raise
enough wheat and oats to supply the county. We can
do it. and now is the time to go about it. The boll
weevil lias hit us a rarther stinging liek this year but
he lias not knocked us out of the box. Let’s avoid
his blow next year as much as possible.
With plenty of corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, syrup,
milk, butter and meat, we can tight the boll weevil
next year over the cotton that we may plant and
stand a good cliunco to win out.
What say the farmers of this section? Mill you
heist ?
A Faithful Servant.
v
No servant is more faithful and no friend more in
fluential than money. All you have to do to get
money pulling for you is to possess it. If you do not
possess it, it will pull against you. The money the
other fellow owes you is on your side, hut the money
you owe someone else is against you. The money
you have deposited in the bank or saved works to
get people on your side. It brings good business op
portunities. When there is some easy money to be
made the first tiling to do is to hunt some fellow with
ready money to handle the deal. It always requires
some man with a little ready money. Opportunity
is always looking for the man with ready money.
Opportunity never stops to fool with the man who is
in debt, or who spends his money as he gets it each
week.
The man with a bank account is a man plus. The
man with debts hanging over him is a man minus.
Ami it is for you to choose which you will l>e. Any
man can get ahead of the world and have a savings
account if he will cultivate the habit of spending less
than he makes. Some men have acquired money who
have earned precious little. They saved the pennies.
Others have never a mounted to anything financially,
though they have always earned good money.—Moul
trie Obserper.
These are fine words and the News endorses them
thoroughly. IHd you ever sit down and figure out
what a man can do in a financial way by the time he
is sixty years old. Starting at twenty years of age
a man that saves two hundred dollars per year from
ills income can be worth $45,000 by the time in l is
sixty years old. These are very few young men but
what can do this. We heard of a school teacher the
other day who had ta-eu teaching forty years. 11c made
it a point to save SSOO each year from his salary. This
was put out at interest every year. At the end of
forty years he had $112,500, and not a dollar was
made in any other way. He was able to retire from
work with a splendid income much larger than he had
ever received iu his teaching.
We have about reached the conclusion that the rea
son meu do not succeed is that they don’t want to.

SWEEPING PRICE
REDUCTION
International 8-16 Tractor
S9OO
Lowest Ever Quoted
THIS is the lowest price ever quoted on this sturdy two-plow tractor and it includes all
necessary equipment —platform, fenders, governors, belt, pulley —which cost extra on
many tractors.
The International 8-10 is unquestionably the best buy in the two-plow tractor class.
As the price lias been made regardless of manufacturing costs, the Harvester ( ompanj
does not agree to maintain it.
Don’t goad the sweltering fly-pestered horses through hot weather plowing and
seeding when S-10 will do tin* work better at a big saving of time and labor. It will
also do your fall and winter licit work.
The Titan 10-20 has also been cut to 900 and the International 15-30 to $1,750.
These prices are lower than ever before, and certainly justify the immediate purchase
of a tractor.
All prices f. o. b. Chicago. We can arrange suitable terms. Call and see us at your

Making Extraordinary
Mileage a Certainty -
Car Owners want more rubber on the tread where the wear is
hardest; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient and
powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Non

sure traction. Firestone Cord Tires have met these demands of
the car owners.
