SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR - - srso Six Months Guaranteed Circulation 1968 WINDER, GA. NOVEMBER 24, 1921. 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 Our good friend, Kelly Biminons, is putting life into the Coffee County Progress, at Douglas, Ga O Wo are again advised to shop early. We will take this advise gladly just as soon as our delinquents eonie across. O Johnny ,Spencer, of the Macon Telegraph, says the man who said that rubber heels would keep you from slipping down on a wet sidewalk, is slightly mistaken. O “Is it ever right to do wrong? asks Editor Rucker of the Alpharetta Free I’n-hs. We don’t know, George. What is it you want to do? , O The United States Government is at perfect liberty to let Henry Ford have our interest in our baltl ships, and land armaments also. We don’t want to use them any more. O . A political writer says that we can’t cross the Pa cific and whip Japan. Well, there’s one consolation about it. Neither can Japan cross the ocean and whip us. O Editor Jim Davison, of the Cleveland Courier, says that he surely and certainly and positively ain t go ing to get out any paper during Christmas weeek. Jim must be going to take a week off and celebrate. O The Dalton Citizen says that it has never seen the person that politics and society would not eventually ruin. We don't know about tills assertion from a political standpoint, but from the crest of high soci ety, Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta Journal, is a living refutation of Editor Shope’s assertion. O The Hoscbton News rightly says: “More attention should be paid to our rural and village schools, for it is in the mthat the child gets the foundation for his future training, the groundwork upon which his fu ture life and education are built. It is only through ■ education of the masses that we can rid ourselves of poverty, and the disturbing elements which threaten our country.” O The promptness with which Wesley Cooper, I lie negro who killed Mr. William A. Cooper, at Grayson a few weeks ago. was tried and punishment meted out to him. will do more towards putting down lynch law than all the theorizing and moralizing in the world. The negro was hanged in Lawrenceville b>t Friday. O Gambling in Cotton. We wonder how much money lias been lost in Win der during the past two months gambling in cotton futures? We feel sure it would astound ns ail if the exact amount was known. And not only in " inder hut all over the South. Is it not time for us to quit trying to get rich over night and get down to good, steady, honest business? Any man can accumulate a splendid competency during a life time if lie will work and economize and keep away from the gambling table. When once the gambling spirit gets into our blood we are ruined, for no gambler can hope for permanent success. Fives arc being wrecked every day in the South now by the spirit of speculation. Will we stop it. or will we go oil in the mad race until we fall over the precipice? If the money that has been lost in Winder this fall in cotton speculation had been put into channels of business, or paid on the debts that we owe, what a tremendous difference there would be lu the condi tion of things right here in our city.. Can we keep up this pace and survive? Haven't we sense enough to know that we will be dashed upon the rocks of destruction if we do not stop and get down to hoivtst endeavor and real economy and make up our minds to work out of troubles instead of try ing to get out of them by some stroke of chance? Winder is not the only town that lias been hurt by cotton speculation. It is all over the state and all over the south. Rut that doeos not help us. We can straighten ourselves up. east off our delusions about getting rich quick, get down to business, practice strict economy and work out of our troubles. Left do 1U ■Jr > W w X f r * Thanksgiving Day. Thursday, we give thanks. We should do so every day, hut Thursday has been set apart by our national and state authorities as the day upon which we all are to lift up our hearts in gratitude to our God for his manifold blessings upon us during the past year. We hope all our readers will do so. Let* count our “blessings one by one,” and see how much we have to be thankful for. Many of us have had sorrows, disappointments, re verses, trials and heartaches, but, possibly, many of these will prove blessings in the end. “Sweet are the uses of adversity,” says an ancient adage, and we are pure that men and women are made better and stronger by the disappointments and sorrows that conic into their lives. We are persuaded that when we can see clearly we are going to thank God for the sorrowful things that come into our lives rather than for the joyful things. The pendulum always swings both ways. If you weep now, you shall be comforted. If you laugh now, you may weep later, and it is lie that lauglis last that laughs best. Let us learn to give thanks in ull things. Lift your heads and hearts Thursday and utter a real Thanksgiving prayer unto your God. O Goodbye Delinquent Subscribers We begin with our next issue, December Ist, to drop those who have paid no attention to our appeals to pay up their subscriptions. Many have' ptaid, some have come in and asked us not to stop the pa per, as they will pay in a short time. We are per fectly willing to do thus. Borne few have ordered their paper stopped, and do not propose to pay what they owe. We do not know how many of those who are still in arrears will trt'at us that way. We have asked all who have not paid to let us know whether they want tile paper to continue or not and to give us some ideu when they can pay. This seems fair and if you are not willing to do this we suppose you do not propose to pay. We cannot carry you longer. We will begin to cut off delinquents next week, and will continue to cut them off until January Ist, when we will make a clean sweep of ull who have not paid or who have not notified us when they will pay. If you do not get your paper next week, you may know you have been dropped from our Ijst. We hope you will set yourself right with the paper, so that we will not be compelled to part company with you. O Prices Must Be Adjusted. “Farm prices must increase in order to meet the level of other commodities, or other commodities drop to the level of farm commodities within a rel atively short time, or America will be in the throes of a panic as never dreamed of," said the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation at a meet ing of that organization in Atlanta last Monday night. He is right. We have contended for the past year that there is too great a difference between the raw pro ducts grown by the producers and the manufactured products when they get hack to the consumer. Why is the difference between raw hides and shoes so tremendous? The price that the grower of vege tables and fruits in Florida receives and the price paid by the consumer of these vegetables and fruits in other sections is out of all reason. Prosperity cannot come until things are adjusted. When things become lopsided a catastrophe is inevitable. The pendulum always swings back. The produc ers are groaning and sweating now under the low prices of their products, but surely and certainly the pendulum will swing the other way, and those that are the cause of this unreasonable difference in the price of the raw products and the manufactured prod ucts will be found paying the penalty of their lack of wisdom. O An Apology. On account of going to press one day earlier this week, much news is left out of this issue. We re gret our short-comings but the News force wish to take Thanksgiving off, and we ask the indulgence of our readers. Will do hotter next week. O Ninth District Press Association. The Ninth District Press Association will meet in Gainesville next Friday, December 2. A program is being arranged and will be sent out to all members of the organization early next week. We hope every editor and newspaper man in the district will Is* present. The Gainesville Chamber of Commerce will enter tain the visitors. Let’s have a full attendance of the fraternity.
