Fine time to sow wheat.
O
All the world seems to be in favor of disarmament.
If this is true, why can’t we disarm?
O
Atlanta speeders are continuing to get in their
deadly work.
O
Harrow county farmers are taking advantage of
the good rain that we have had and are sowing
grain.
O
Every farmer, business man and citizen that is in
terested in A lie welfare of our county should attend
the meeting at the old court house next Monday night.

There are still bits of good jokes going the rounds
in Georgia. For instanee, it is reported that Jim
Key may run for governor. Commerce Observer.
While we congratulate the winners in the city pri
mary Wednesday, the editor of the News, from past
experiences, is more inclined to congratulate the
losers.
O
Business has been good in Winder during ttie past
sixty days. The people are not stranded by any
means. They are just scared and contldence In each
other is somewhat shaken.
O
We ask all our subscribers to read the article In
this issue entitled, “An Old-Fashioned Virtue.” by
Kev. 1,. W. Collins, They are words fitly spoken and
worthy of our serious thought and consideration .
_ o
Jesse Mercer says that Fulton county is the wettest
county, per capita, in the state. This is denied by
the county commissioners of Fulton. Whether Jesse
Mercer is correct or 1 not, we are satisfied that Fulton
is wet a-plenty as well as every county in the state.
O
Freight and passenger rates musij dome down.
Business conditions cannot stand up under the heavy
tolls that the railroads are getting. Wages on the
railroads from president down to the porters must he
cut sufficient to (“liable the rates to come down on a
parity with other lines of business.
(>
Senator Matson says that soldiers were hanged
overseas during the war without a court martial. He
propose to give proof of charges in open senate.
These charges are exceedingly grave and the Amer
ican people w ill watch the proceedings in the United
Slates Senate with great interest.
O
M inder Is one <*l the best cities of its size in Ot“or
gia. There is more energy and genuine enterprise in
her midst than you will find anywhere else in the
state. And we believe that our people will weather
the storm that is breaking over us now, and that we
will come out in fine shape. Our heads may bo bloody
but they are still unbowed.
O
The Railroad Strike.
We cannot bring ourselves to believe that the rank
find file of the railroad workers of the country are in
favor pf it strike. They are faring better than any
other class of workers of which we know. They are
drawing higher salaries than workmen in other lines
of employment who are just as capable and just as
worthy. As compared with the business and agri
cultural interests of this country they are getting far
more than a fair division of the wealth that arises
from the commercial activities of this country.
Organised labor is becoming more unpopular every
day. Public opinion is cr.vstalizing against it. No
organization can flout public opinion as organized la
bor is doing now and hope to win out. The public
is becoming disgusted and incensed. Organised labor
is losing everything it has won in the past twenty-five
years. Its leaders do not seem to be wise enough to
direct it. If its leaders think that a few million men
can control the commercial activities of this country
they are badly mistaken.
There are a great many people who really wanted
to see the strike come. They are willing to put up
with all the Inconveniences it would have brought in
order to settle the question. And it would settle the
question for years to come. There are too many job
hunters now for a man to think he can hurt anybody
very much by quitting his job.
Do Not Go Into Bankruptcy
It is bad policy. It hurts you all the balance of
your life. A ee#ain amount of your self respect is
gone. Stand up and face your creditors like a man.
I)o the best you can with them. Keep out of the
courts. Let your creditors have the costs you would
have to pay the courts. Go to see your creditors.
Talk things over with them. Let's maintain our
self-respect and good name, by all means. We can
be honest, if we can’t pay our debts right now. It will
pay in the long run. We are glad that Barrow coun
ty is far behind many other counties in the number
of bankruptcy proceedings. We hope that she may
remain behind in this matter. A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches.

The Women Should Register
The recent constitutional amendment enfranchises
all women, and the question of registering and qual
ifying themselves for exercising this privlege con
fronts them. We think that every white woman
should get her name on the registration list and thus
lv> prepared to vote should she desire to do so at
any time. We nre interested in maintaining white
supremacy in the South, and it might become neces
sary that our white women should vote in order to
maintain this supremacy. To register does not mean
you are compelled to vote unless you desire, but it
does mean that you can vote if the occasion requires
1L ' - rsi-.u-y,
iU f Pic? .
o
Is It Not a Fact?
Is it not a fact that large numbers of railway em
ployees arc heartily sick of the autocracy established
by the brotherhood leaders, including dictation as to
matters over which these leaders should have no con
trol, heavy conti ibutions and dues and exactions
generally?
Is not the strike an attempted means of confirming
the waning authority of certain of these ‘brotherhood”
leaders and of convincing the public and the railroads
that the old managers are still in the saddle, just as
they were during the days when the railroad admin
istration recognized their slightest wishes?
O
Teach the Children Courtesy.
There is no gift or grace worth quite so much to a
man or woman as courtesy. Courtesy pleuses the
other fellow, and it costs you nothing. You treat
someone with courtesy and you feel better. When
yon growl or snarl at others you are apt to be dis
satisfied with yourself and your work. Courtesy can
be acquired. It should be instilled in children when
they are young. The Augusta Chronicle is hopeful
about courtesy. It says:
"The world is becoming more courteous. The sales
man in the store has a "thank you" in readiness now
more than he used. There is a “good morning’’ for
you from the street cur conductor. The past office
man ‘thank you' also. There is a pleasant greeting
and a kindly word more than at any other time in the
history of the country; and we are none the worse
off for it. ‘The public bc-damned’ attitude has lost
ground with gTeat rapidity."
We think the Chronicle is correct. You meet more
courtesy in tlie commercial world than you once did.
This uiuy be due to the fact that courtesy pays. No
one is seeking to employ n grouch and a rough neck
in these days. They are suitable for mining or for
cutting wood in the forest, btlt for teachers, ministers,
salespeople, ticket agents, solicitors, collectors and
almost every line of business or public service, em
ployers nre looking for those who have even temper,
soft words, a pleasant smile, suave manners, patience,
helpfulness and sympathy.
Again wo say, train the children in courtesy. Many
are overlooking this. “Spoiled children" general
grow up to be "spoiled men and women.”—Moultrie
Observer.

THE WINDER NEWS
I ~ PURE WATER
The three most important needs for
man are air, food and water, and in
each ease purity is necessary. Pure
water is a luxury as well as a neces
sity. The abundant use of pure water
promotes health, while to be deprived
of it is a hardship. Impure water is
a disappointment and it may be a
positive danger.
A good public water supply is a valu
able municipal acset. not only enhanc
ing civic pride, but attracting to the
community manufacturers who use wa
ter in their industries and who desire
ample fire protection for their prop
erly.
The history of sanitary engineering
• eils a sad tale of the misery and deatli
re-uiltiag from drinking water infect
ed with the germs of such diseases as
cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery.
The term “pure water" is not a sat
isfactory one. In the first place pure
water does not exist in nature. Be
cause of its great dissolving power,
:oreign substances are always pres
ent, even though unseen. These sub
stances, mineral or organic, solid or
gaseous, living organisms, perhaps,
give to different waters the various
>roperties that collectively determine
its quality, or, as we say, its purity.
:n the second place, these various for
eign substances act differently and
he amounts of the substances pres
“nt, as well as their nature, determine
he quality of the water. A good drink
ing water may be a bad water for
use in the laundry, and It may corrode
ipes. On the other hand, a good water
for boilers may be dangerous for a per
on to drink. The term "pure water."
herefore, does not have a definite
meaning.
The first characteristic of a water
fit to be used for drinking, for brush
ing the teeth, for cooking and for the
miscellaneous uses of the household, is
;afoty from Infection; that is, freedom
front the germs of disease. Bitter ex
perience has shown that water may
cause typhoid fever by transporting the
living typhoid germs from some per
son sick of the disease to some well
person. This is a simple mechanical
transfer of the germs. The water plays
no other than that of floating the
tiny things along, unless we may say
that it keeps them from drying up. The
typhoid germs do not multiply in the
water, but, on the contrary, die out lit
tle by little, and so lose their power
to do harm.
The germs of these various diarrheal
diseases, typhoid fever, cholera and the
like, leave the bodies of sick people
in urine and bowel discharges. Sew
age is always liable to contain them.
If sewage finds its way into a lake or
stream, or if the contents of a cesspool
or privy soak into the ground and per
colate to some well, the germs of these
diseases may be carried along, ready
to start the disease in someone who
drinks the infected water.
Water that is contaminated with
sewage or with fecal discharges is dan
gerous to drink. It may not always
cause sickness, because th sewage
tnay not always contain germs from
persons sick of typhoid fever and oth
er water-borne diseases, but it is al
ways dangerous.
The surest and best method of safe
guarding the quality of a public water
supply is by some means of artificial
purification. This purification may be
carried on by boiling, filtraton, steril
ization with chloride of lime or liquid
chlorine. It is always well to consult
the State Board of Health in relation
Jo waters that need any type of puri
fication. It Is safe to say today that
almost any water can be purified and
made safe and wholesome.
Always remember the following facts
in relation to a water supply:
1. Pure water is a luxury.
2. Pure water is a necessity.
3. Pure water is cheap.
4. Impure water is dangerous.
5. Impure water is expensive.
6. Surface water must be purified.
8. Qualities to be sought in water —
wholesomeness, cleanliness and
softness.
9. Filtration makes water clban.
10. Filtration makes water reasona
• bly safe.
11. Filtration should be followed by
sterilization.
12. Hard water may be softened.
13. Filtration has been justified by
experience.

PREACHES GOOD DOCTRINE.
Our good friend, Mr. Zion Hendrix,
who gets his mail out on rural free
delivery mail route from Campton, w;Ar
in to see us Friday afternoon and kind
ly advanced his subscription another
year. Mr. Hendrix talked quite opti
mistically. lie says, "Of course the
people in his county have but little
money, but they have learned the les
son of growing supplies at home. They
have corn, syrup,• peas, potatoes and
most of them have hogs to kill. We
will never suffer a.s long as the people
practice the live at home program
Mr. Hendrix says that he will real
ize about one thousand bushels of corn
as his part this year. By that he
meant what he raised himself and what
tenants raised. This magnificent yield
was from some of the drained land on
the Appalachee River. —Walton News.
