PARHAM Business Manager Entered at the Post office at Winder, Georgia as Second Class Matter for Transmission Through the Mails.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR - —51.50 Six Months "5 Guaranteed Circulation 1968 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 7? Winder, Ga., November 3, 1921. 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. O 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. ( j 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. o Thoughts for the Day "Let us be content, ip work, to do the thing we can, and not presume to fret because it’s little.—Brown ing.

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. Atlanta. Ga., September 2, 1921.

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.
