Senator Watson Scores
In The Investigation.
The committee of the United States
Senate that is investigating the char
ges that, American soldiers were hang
ed in France without trial is becoming
convinced that there is a great deal of
truth in Senator Thos. E. Watson's
charges.
A thorough searching of war depart-:
meat, records covering all court-martial
trials in the A. E. F. in which the death
penalty was imposed was demanded
by, the committee Wednesday.
Members of the investigating com
mittee let it he known that they are
more than half convinced by the testi
mony of a score of ex-dough boys, that
there were more hangings in the A. E.
F. than eleven on which the army has
produced data.
To ferret out the exact time and
place of the supposed illegal hangings
will be one of the immediate objects
of the investigators, it is said.

THE CITIZENS OF
WINDER TO MEET.
There will be a most Important meet
ing of many of the citizens of Winder
at tin* New Winder Hotel Friday
night at S o'clock. Several tilings per
taining to the progress of the town will
lie discussed. Come out.
MARVELS REALIZED
IN WONDERFUL AGE
It is a common tiling to hear people
exclaim that this is a wonderful age in
which we live, but perhaps it has never
been brought home to us more direct
ly than by a little dispatch to The Ath
ens Daily News as follows:
Winder, Ga„ Jan. (!. —The wireless
station erected here by two of our alert
and progressive young men, P. C. Greg
ory and Victor Settle, is now' complete
and in operation. Many concerts, ser
mons and various news from all over
the United States are received each
night ami many curious and skeptical
ones have “set in” and listened to the
music and lectures.
Mr. Settle is a government licensed
operator, having had considerable ex
perience In the army and at Georgia
Tech. Mr. Gregory is experienced, too.
J. W. McWhorter, editor of the Win
der News, listened to or concert Thurs
day night which he was told was in
Pittsburg, Pa., at the Westinghouse
station. Mr. McWhorter stated he be
lieved what was told him, not knowing
what else to believe.”
Winder is Indeed a thriving little
city, and “bigger for its size” than a
good many places, but it doeos not pre
tend to Ik* in the metropolitan class.
Indeed, there are many of us who can
remember when it was still u very un
pretentious little village. Like other
villages of its type, life flowed on with
out much disturbance from tin* outside
world. The coming of the daily papers
kept open about the only means of
knowledge of the great outside world.
■Cities like Pittsburg seemed almost le
gendary.
So it seems almost fanciful to read
that, today the good people of Winder,
whenever they are so minded, can go
down to the wireless station set up by
Messrs. Gregory and Settle and 'literally
listen to great orchestras rendering
the world's musical masterpieces In tilt*
fur off Pennsylvania city, or for that
matter, in New York. Concerts and
sermons and lectures, delivered in the
metropolis, are heard as distinctly in
the little Georgia town as they are by
the audience immediately piesent.
New York newspapers for some
time have been runniug advertisements
of wireless outfits, costing from $25.00
up to several hundred, which can be
set up in any home ulmost as easily as
the telephone, and subscribers are al
lowed to “listen in” on concerts, lect
ures. etc., that are especially provided
for them. These smaller plants of
course have no such range as that at
Winder, which lias been erected by
young men who are experts in this line
hut the fact plaids of any kind can
now Ik* had at small cost, opens up a
new world.
When Shakespeare made Puck boast:
"I’ll put u girdle round about the
earth
In forty minutes,”
he was supposed to have had a mar
velous vision of the electric telegraph,
but in his finest frenzy the Bard of
Avon never dreamed that Winder would
tie “listening in” on wireless concerts
nearly a thousand miles away.—Macon
News.

The Athens Daily News, carries in
its columns Wednesday the following
news item that will be interesting to
our readers:
Proposal ttiat the Georgia Railway
and Power Company take over and op
erate the Gainesville Midland railroad
as ail electric railway wiil be made to
the Chamber of Commerce Thursday by
Asa Whitehead, chairman of a com
mittee from the Merchants Protective
Association.

ent to hack up’ the plan, it is under
stood.
A committee representing all of
these organizations will then Ik* ap
pointed if the plan is adopted, and will
go to the main offices of the company
in Atlanta to present the proposition.
Mr. Whitehead presented this plan
to tlie members of the Merchant asso

composes! of Mr. Whitehead, Arthur
Booth and M. G. Nicholson was ap
pointed to represent thut body in the

If the plan is turned down by the
Power Company an effort may be made
to interest Henry Ford In the proposi
tion and to make a visit to the North
Georgia mountains where he will find
it better place for his proposed opera
tions than the Muscle Hiiouls property,
Mr. Whitehead said.
Mr. Whitehead thinks that if the

Tennessee.
