LOUIS W. JACKSON
IS ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED WITH GUN
One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in this city in some time was
that of yonng Louis Wales Jackson,
the son of Mrs. Annie Jackson, of this
city, and the grandson of Mr. Hillman
{). Jackson, one of the oldest 1 and best
known citizens of Winder.
Sit seems that Louis and his two
brothers. Wade and Roy Jackson and
two cousins, Ambrose and Guy Jackson
together with two negroes, were out
hunting between Jefferson and Pend
ergrass Wednesday of this week. In
some way Louis’ gun was discharged
tearing away the upper portion of his
right arm an a; part of the shoulder.
No one was near him when the accident
occurred. Just as soon as the others
discovered it he was rushed to Jeffer
son and the wound was dressed by Dr
McDonald of that place_ However,
the loss of'blocs! had been so great that
liifi system gave way under the strain
and he died Thursday morning. The
remains were brought to Winder this
morning by C. M. Ferguson & Go., un
dertakers.
Funeral arrangements had! not been
nounoed up to the hour of going to
press, but. we understand that he will
be buried tomorrow (Friday).
Young Jackson was 20 years of age,
and was one of the brightest young
men in this city. He was popular
wherever known, and has a host of rel
atives throughout this section of the
state, fall of whom} are prominent peo
ple.
To the bereaved family the sincerest
sympathy of a host of friends is ex
tended.
A CARD OF THANKS

heartfelt thanks to our friends and our

AND THE BARROW TIMES
SCRAPPING OF G. M.
RAILROAD BEING
TALKED IN ATHENS
If it is decided to scrap the Gaines
ville Midland Railway, or that part of
it extending from the main-line to
Athens, Hon. Tom J. Shackelford sug
gests that our Chamber of Commerce
try and get the Athens' Railway Com
pany to buy the line and right of way
and operate it as a part of their sys
tem by electricity.
Mr. Shackelford says that the prop
erty, if scrapped by the owners will
bring the value of the old iron, which
is but a small matter, as it will cost al-\
most the value of said iron to take it
up and ship. But if the company that
owns our city line and electric plaut will
take this road they can operate it at a
small additional expense with their
own power from the Tallassee shoals
and only some three miles distance.
If more power is required they will
have at Gainesville the power trans
mitted from two large plants, one at
Tallassee Falls. Mr. Shackelford
says that he believes such an arrange
ment can be made with this compafly.
The line would be a splendid proposi
tion, be thinks, and could be made to
pay handsomely. The road-bed is
graded, the cross-ties in place and the
iron would cost only the price of sec
ond uand rails.
Mr. Shackelford thinks it would be
well to also take over the entire line
from Athens to Gainesville, if the en
tire road is scrapped, and run electric
cars between the two poiuts at stated
intervals. —Larry Gantt, in Athens

Our friend, Lee Radford, of Winder,
is justly incensed at the recent charge
coming from a New York financial firm
that the morale of the South is gone.
Of course, the New York firm didn't
know what it was talking about. The
morale of the South is a living, puls
ing, throbbing affair that may get
slightly out of joint at times when
its liver goes wrong, but it never de
parts and is always ready for service
upon demand. The South is all rigid
and will continue to be all right. It
didn’t lose its morale during the dark
days of the civil war and reconstruction
and it didn’t lose it when called upon
to make countless sacrifices during the
world war.—Walton Tribune.

Christmas Programs
Draw Large Crowds.
During the last week the Methodist
congregation kept alive the Christmas
spirit for several days with their va
ried programs, which were rendered by
various departments of the church. In
addition to the beautiful Christmas pa
geant rendered by the adults, the Jun
ior department and primary children
gave a Christmas trs with a varied
and elaborate program on Thursday of
Christinas week to an audience that
completely tilled the new auditorium.
< >n Sunday, special exercises were given
at the Sunday school. Special music
at the morning hour, and at night the
beautiful “Feast of Candles” was held
which is an ancient old-country Christ
mas custom and which was enjoyed by
young and old.
Tolstoi’s story of Christmas was also
given impressively in pantomime, with
several readings of an appropriate na
ture. These beautiful programs will
not only add to the joys of the yule
tide for all those who belong to this
congregation, and all who attend it’s
services, but will help restore Christ
mas to it’s rightful place, as in former
years, the church was the center of the
season's festivities, and lent to the suc
ceeding year seered and holy memories.
S3OO OFFERED FOR
LYNCH LEADERS
Rewards aggregating S3OO are offer
ed for the arrest and conviction of the
members of the party or parties who
lynched two Oconee county negroes oil
tin* night of December 4th.
The rewards are offered by Governor
Hardwick and a private citizen who
is interested in bringing the guilty per
sons to jail. The governor Thursday
of last week notified Sheriff Maxey of
Oconee county that the state would
pay $l5O reward for the arrest and
conviction of the lynchers and short
ly afterward a private citizen declar
ed lie would pay $l5O reward also.
The lynching of the two negroes,
West Hale and George Lowe, charg
ed with aiding another ii gro, Aaron
Birdsong to escape from authorities,
caused considerable excitement in
Oconee and a wave of resentment and
indignation passed over the county
which has not subsided.
A committee of loading citizens
came to Athens and demanded a fed
eral investigation, which was follow
ed liv the declaration of -Sheriff Maxey
that tin* lynchers were the host organ
ized gang of whiskey runners and boot
loggers in this section
The sheriff said a coterie of fifteen
or twenty men had for months terror
ized the northwestrn section of the
•ounty, subjecting peaceful inhabitants
*o many dangers. The life of Howland
Kullilove, prominent Oconee county cit
izen, who is said to have declared the
ynehers should be prosecuted was
hreatened and his home was guarded
by Sheriff Maxey and deputies for sev
eral nights.

state that lie gathered 15 bales oft 17
acres this season by keeping a ttock of
70 guineas In his field all the year, the
Dublin Courier-Herald informs us,”
notes the A metric us Times-Recorder.
“The guineas destroyed the weevils,
and kept the Lncscts in check. Keeping
the guineas in the cotton field was done
by having fresh drinking water in the
far corners of the field, where the guin
eas soon learned they could find water,
and they covered the Held thoroughly,
going Drum one water supply to the
other several times daily.” it may also
lx* noted that, turkeys will keep a patch
