WINDER’S WIRELESS STATION IS NOW IN
OPERATION; CONCERTS RECIEVED DAILY
Messrs. Page Gregory and Victor Settle
Have Station That Will Reach
Around The World.
The wireless station erected by two
of our alert and progressing young
men, Page C. Gregory and Victor Set
tle, is now almost complete and in op
eration. Many concerts, sermons and
, various news from over the United
States, are received each night, and
many curious and skeptical ones have
et in - ’ and listened to the music and
lectures. The station is not exactly
perfect yet, hut with a few adjustments
and attachments it will be as good as
any amateur station in the country.
Mr. Settle is a government licensed
operator, having had ''considerable ex
perience in the army and at Tech. Also
Mr. Gregory, who is an electrician, has
dabbled some in wireless.
A News man listened to a concert
which we were told was in Pittsburg,
Pa., at the Westinghouse Station. Of
course we believed what was told us,
Wot knowing what else to believe.
This is a great thing for Winder and
these young men are to be congratulat
ed upon their enterprise and initiative.
The cost of this station will be about
seven hundred dollars, and these young
men installed it without hope of fee or
rward, but it is customary in other
towns where a wireless is installed
that the parties installing it is given
some help by the city and citizens. IVe
have not been asked to say anything
about this, but we are sure that our
people will appreciate this station and
any donation that you care to make to
this undertaking we are sure will not
be refused.
Hereward Carrington, scientist and
author, says that we’re so used to the
miracle of the telephone that we rare
ly stop to think what a‘ wonderful in
vention it is. And probably not one in
ten knows just how* it works.
We know we can talk across hun
dreds of miles of space instantaneously
by means of the telephone and carry on
a conversation with those at distance.
We know that our words are carried
by wires we see strung up on poles
along country roads.
Now —how much more wonderful
would it be to do the same thing with
out any wire at all!
(Or even from a vessel in mid-ocean —
talking to our friends on shore across
those war res of water, as if space re
ally did not exist!
All this actually has been accom
plished.
It is only a matter of time before
wireless telephones will Ik- so perfect
and so plentiful, that we shall be able
talk to anybody on our earth by means
of them.
And —who knows? —we may be able
to talk to beings on another planet as
well!
Wireless phones work on either one
or two principles:
One. By means of waves set up in
the ether, like wireless telegraphy.
Two. By what is known as induc
tion.
Electric waves all travel in the ether
of space—not in the air. though they
also pass through the air.
And all electric-Waves travel at pre
cisely the same speed. This speed is
the speed of light—lß6,ooo miles a
second.
That means that electric waves trav
el seven and one-half times around our
earth in one second.
So time and space will be practi
cally annihilated by using these waves
as a medium for communication.
Light waves are so small that thou
sands of them go to make one inch. But
wireless waves are very long—some of
them are miles in length. Yet they all
travel at the same speed and reach their
objectives in exactly the same length
of time.
Wireless waves are sent out into
space by means of suitable sending or
transmitting apparatus and travel on
ward—we do not know how far. per
haps they go on forever. We cannot
tell.
At some spot on the earth, if they
are powerful enough, they are picked
up by a receiving apparatus and are
changed from radio-frequency to audio
frequency so they can be heard by the
human ear.
Electric waves cause alterations in
a-local current ami these alterations in
turn cause vibrations of the diaphragm
of wireless telephone receivers—Just
the same thing that takes place in ordi
nary “wire" telephone communications.

Lower Express Rates
With the first of the year the war
tax <>n express shipments ceased and
the public will save about sl.'>oo,ooo
per month. Announcemest to tins ef
fect was made this week by Mr. C. C.
Eskridge, the local agent at this place.
The elimination of the tax will not on
ly save the public a huge sum of money
but will also save the express agents
u huge amount of labor.
Messages transmitted in this man
ner have been sent great distances.
On the other hand, when a local cir
cuit induces an electric current cir
cuit, in another circuit a short dis
tance away from it —that is wireless
telegraphy by “induction." This lias a
very limited range.
Wireless telephone experiments have
been made recently in which gnat dis
tances were covered.
It is but a matter of a few years be
fore the wireless phone will be as cheap
and as simple as ordinary phones are
now.
Then every one of us can have a
wireless telephone in his own home.

DR. SOULE BELIEVES CREST OF BAD TIMES
OVER AND 1922 WILL BE PROSPEROUS
In a statement reviewing the agri
cultural conditions during the past
year ami commenting on the outlook
for 1922, Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi
dent of tin- State College of Agricul
ture, who is iu closer touch with actual
farm conditions iu Georgia than any
other man, and one of the best author
ities in the United States, says: ‘I
think the crest of the bad times we
have had lias passed and 1 believe
there will lie a gradual development
and expansion of industry in 1922 that
will prove helpful to the interests of
all' our people.”
“Nineteen hundred and twenty-one
constituted one of the worst years in
the agricultural history of Georgia.
This was on account of the cxtrenYc de
pression of the prices of farm commod
ities and the material reduction in our
normal output of cotton, due to the
damage wrought by the boll weevil, the
mlniinized use of fertiliser, and the un
favorable climate conditions which pre
vailed throughout a considerable part
of the growing season,” said Dr. Soule.
“In 1921 our farmers were called on to
face a reduction in the aggregate value
of their crops amounting to $200,000,-
000. Is it any wonder they staggered
under the load of debt and responsi
bility they were called on to carry?
Upon the whole they faced the situation
with remarkable fortitude.
‘■’Fortunatelsv/’ 'lie continued, "the
cost of making the crops produced In
1921 was very small. In several re
spects we have had just cause for
thanks and wt should never lose sight
of the bright side of the picture. Our
peach crop was excellent. Our truck
ami melon crops sold readily at profita
ble prices. The present strengthening
of the cotton mnrket is helping the gen
eral situation materially. The ten
dency now witnessed to emphasize an
imal industries and diversify produc
tion Is encouraging. We are making
rapfd strides in the establishment of
cheese factories and creameries, thus
fostering a fundamental industry that
will add millions to the revenue of our
farmers in 1922. By finishing a larger
percentage of animals on foot we cun
provide a satisfactory market for our
surplus supplies of corn and furnish
our eß'es with a part of the meat
which we arc now importing from oth
er sections. We are short a million
hogs in Georgia at present. By empha
sizing crop diversification to a desira
ble degree in 1922 we can add SSOO to
the revenue of the average farm, keep
$150,000,000 of our money at home, and
checkmate the boll weevil.
“The ‘live at home’ program institut
ed by our farmers last year lias ena
bled them to conserve their resources
to a much greater degree than many
thought possible, and liquidate a certain
per cent of their obligations.

SUMMARY OF TAX
CHANGESFORI922
Changes in tuxes that became ef
fective January Ist, consisted mainly
in reduction or elimination of federal
taxes and in State taxes. Some of the
changes of general interest are listed
below:
“War taxes" virtually end as far as
they affect the’ ordinary purchasing
public. Taxes of this nature on soft
drinks, motion picture films, (not ad
mission tickets > clothing, sporting
goods and cosmetics no longer will add
il few pennies to the eost of such ar
ticles.
Elimination of finlerul tuxes on rail
way passenger and sleeping car fares
will reduce the eost of travel approxi
mately 8 per cent.
The 3 per cent war tax on freight
rates, and 5 per cent tax on express
shipments, also are eliminated.
Anew State tax which alreay has
caused much discussion, and is a subject
of controversy, is the grand opera tax,
which becomes effective now. A levy
of $2500 is made, but it lias not been de
termined whether this amount is to be
paid on each opera season or each grand
opera performance.
Hotels must pay anew Stute tux of
SI.OO on eaeh room.
Special State tuxes are levied on 20
occupations and businesses which hith
erto paid only the general tax. They
range from laundries to beauty parlors,
and from pressing clubs to chiroprac
tors.
Special taxes hitherto levied are in
creased in nearly every Instance and
upon some occupations the increase is
us great as 700 per cent over the old
rate.
The annual State tax on all ball
parks and football fields is Increased
from SIOO to S2OO.
Tar on dance halls is increased from
$25 to SIOO a year.
Automobile garages must pay flu an
nual tax of SSO, twice as much as be
fore, and tiie special State tax of 1 .
cent a gallon on gasoline already lias
become effective.
