OCTOBER <i, 1921 It may be that a woman’s place is in the home, but Biff Murphy says generally you will itud her in the driver’s seat with one foot on the gas.—Johnnie Spen cer, in Macon Telegraph. O 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. O T 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. THE WINDER NEWS 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.
