2000 PEOPLE ATTEND BARROW COUNTY
PRODUCTS DINNER IN WINDER MONDAY
Farmers, Merchants, Bankers and Others Meet
Each Other and Discuss Matters of
Mutual Interest
Barrow’s $150,000 New Court House
Is Formally Opened.
Lamar Trotti in Atlanta Georgian
Barrow county gathered in Winder
last Monday to enjoy its own products
and open its new court house, voiced
its faith in the prosperity of the county
and Georgia, pledged anew its trust
in mankind in general and joined hands
all around to bring about the ends de
sired. A conservative estimate of the
attendance sets the number at between
1800 and 2000 persons.
In the words of Dr. C. B. Mott, pres
ident of the Barrow County Chamber
of Commerce, promoters of the dinner,
the meeting was held so that the far
mers, merchants, bankers and others
might meet with each other to restore
conldenee in themselves and in each
other, by a discussion of matters of
mutual interest. It was a get-to-gether
meeting interest.
‘This meeting has been a great inspi
ration to me,” said E. W. Carroll of the
Athens Chamber of Commerce. ‘I hope
t'liat Clarke county can put one over
like this. I believe that if every coun
ty in this state would have a similar
meeting, where the farmer and the man
in town could get together and discuss
frankly the problems facing them
both, conditions would improve in un
told per cent in Georgia.”
A number of citizens of Barrow coun
ty said they did not believe conditions
in Georgia were nearly so bad as they
had been painted.
“We are not broke, or even in very
bad circumstances,” said Dr. Mott.
“Compared to the inflated condition in
1919 when we had lots of money per
haps we are worse off, but business will
be re-established on a healthier basis
than ever before and Georgia will re
alize that it is in good, sound shape.”
Co-operation was the keynote of all
the speeches delivered before the crowd
in the new courthouse. Farmers agreed
to co-operate with the man in the town.
The man in the town agreed to help the
man on the farms. The spirit was well,
if a little crudely, stated by one of the
men of the town :
“I’ll scratch your back and you
scratch mine.”
Dinner, provided by the women of the
town, was served indoors, on account
of the inclement weather. It had been
planned to have the dinn r on the
court house lawn, but the heavy rains
of night and Monday prevent
ed this. An entire building was ad
mirably handled.
After the dinner those attending
assembled in the courtroom of the new
building. A number of leading citi
zens of the State made brief addresses,
each being limited to ten minutes.
B. S. Barker, secretary of the Atlan
ta Chamber of Commerce, was one of
the principal speakers. W. O. Foote,
president, was to have been present,
but at the last he found it impossible
to attend. He was represented by M.
M. I)avies, who also addressed the
meeting.
“We can’t live alone,” Mr. Barker
said. “We must, live together. To live
together we must co-operate. I tell you
now that every resource of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce is at the service
of your town and the other towns of
Georgia. Atlanta wants friends. Atlan
ta wants to get close to the small
towns and the farmers. Mr. Barker
added that he believed the farmers
could do nothing better than to co-oper
ate for better marketing facilities,
speaking of marketing he laid particu
lar stress on the conditions in which
the entered into the work of preparing
dinner with real co-operation.
“Barrow county has started some
thing today that will bring reward to
Wh‘ county. Such a meeting can not
fell to inspire and encourage.”
Mr. Davis, representing Mr. Foote,
urged every man present to have eon
picious of our neighbors because we are
Science in his neighbor. “We are sus
siispicious of ourselves,” he said.
Judge George Thomas, mayor of
Athens, was another speaker. Judge
Thomas echoed the sentiments of
those preceding and pleaded anew' for
co-operation and confidence in each
other. He said that he had lived on
a farm that raised nothing but cot
ton for so long that he had to leave in
order to live, “I want to say a word
about other crops than cotton,” he
said. “Some of you are afraid there
won’t be a market for your other crops.
Other States have tric'd it and every
one has found a market. Georgia can
do the same thing and Georgia will do
the same thing.”
Dr. L. C. Allen, of Hoschton, one of
the first speakers, spoke of the live
stock industry in the state, urging that
hog raising be considered seriously as
a money-making product. Mr. Allen was
followed by J. K. Griffeth. of Atlanta,
a representative of the White Provis
ion Company. He said his company was
■anxious to aid in every way the hog
cattle industry. He said a great amount
of meats were pouring into the' State
each year that could be raised at home.
That his company was glad to pay the
market price for Georgia grown cattle
and hogs.
M M. Holloway. Fulton representa
tive in the State Legislature, declared
Georgia was a richer State for having
a county like Barrow in it. He said he

Medding With Courts
From Pulpit and Civic
Bodies Scored by Bell.
Says Delegations of Uplifters Who
Visit Judges and Tell Them What
to Do Should Be in Contempt
of Court.
Meddling by the pulpit and civic soci
eties, hasty exploitation by the press,
publicity seeking by lawyers—“the
great trio of evils which'beset the mod
ern legal world” —were severely de
nounced in speeeehs by Judge George
L. Bell, of Fulton Superior Court, at
tlie annual dinner of the Atlanta Bar
Association at the Hotel Ansley Satur
day night. Judge Bell was the princi
pal speaker
Paying tribute to the upright and
conscientious lawyer, Judge Bell said
that, nevertheless, no longer was it con
sidered. as it ought to be and used to
be, an insult for a committee of profes
sional uplifters to invade the sacred
precincts of the courts and tell the
judges what they ought to do.
“We are fallen upon strange days,
gentlemen,” Judge Bell began. “And
far lie it from me to say that lawyers
are not upright men. But times have
changed. The very forces which are
popularly considered agents for social
good, are in fact the forces which are
rushing us toward a state of anarchy
so far as the guarantees provided for in
sound law are concerned, if we continue
to let them have full sway.
‘The general condition of lawlessness
is not due in largest part to the state
of economic unrest. It is due to the
fact that the people have come to re
gard the business of the eourts as every
everybody’s business. We find that
judges are visited by delegations from
civic societies, professional uplifters,
and told what they ought to do. In my
opinion these people are in contempt of
court, and I believe the courts should
so declare. But the courts hate to do
his because most of the professional
uplifters, these meddlers, are well mean
ing, but uninformed and certainly ill
advised persons.
“I have no hesitancy in telling you
that the gravest danger confronting
the rising generation of lawyers is the
trying of cases in the pulpits, in the
streets anil in the newspapers, in ad
vance of the orderly and legal trial of
such cases in the courts of law. This
practice is nothing short of a prostitu
tion of the law—it muddles, it pol
lutes the stream of justice.
“There is no surer sign that we are
on the road to civic destruction—and I
am not an alarmist —than this modern
plague of societies, organizations of ev
ery kind, and even preachers, which
are forever offering to tell judges what
they ought to do. instead of letting tne
judges do what judges ought to do.
“But what is the remedy? I know
of only one. That is a law which shall
declare it a crime for persons to dis
cuss in the streets, in the pulpit, on
the platform or in the press, any pend
ing legal case.”
“And I wish to conclude,” he said,
“by giving our young lawyers just a
few ‘don’ts’ Don’t hire press agents,
don’t discuss your case in the streets,
and don’t encourage interference with
the courts. For, I tell you that when
the time comes when it is the general
custom to do these things, the death
knell of human liberty has been sound
ed.”
Judge Hines then told the lawyers he
desired to firmly indorse all Judge Hell
had said. Judge Hines said a delega
tion of women once asked him how they
should go alMiut expressing to a crimi
nal judge what he should do in a ‘blind
tiger’ case, and declared the delega
tion should have been sent to jail for
20 days for daring to speak to the judge
about the case. *
The Men’s Club

At the monthly meeting of the Meth
odist Mens club at tlie church on Tues
day night, anew feature was added

talk on tlie subject, also bringing greet
ings from his home church at Fort Val

were discussed for the coming revival,
and committees appointed for the en

REVIEW OF WINDER
HIGH BASKET BALL
The Winder High won every game on
schedule but one—l 4 out of 15 games.
The past year lias been the most suc
cessful one in basketball in the history
of the school. Taking everything into
consideration we believe that Coach
l’age, an old Auburn star, has turned
out the best aggregation that ever rep
resented the school.
There was no star that far outshone
any of his team mates as in previous
years, but they were all stars of the
first magnitude, thinking more of team
work and coining out on the big end of
the score than of individual shining or
starring. They had that old spirit and
fought hard and this spirit put them
through several games that otherwise
they would have lost. But they never
gave up and were never beaten until
the timekeeper’s cap-buster barked out
the fatal shot that told those red and
black jersied lads that they had fought'
a good tight but had been licked out by
the slight margin of one point. Fellows
it was bad.
Charles McWhorter was captain of
the team and a star-forward and we
don’t believe there was a steadier foul
shot in the High school. He broke
more guard’s hearts this year by spoil
ing their records than any man on the
team. He was unstopable as a charge
of T N T. ’Twas practically impossible
to hold this bird below a dozen points
for he just about averaged this in 15
games.
Julian Wilson, the Winder Hi Heart
breaker, playing his first year on the
team, seems to have the brightest fu
ture than anything we’ve seen in prep
circles in many a moon The way this
boy covers a court is dazzling.
Kinch Carpenter, the elongated cen
ter, was not decisely out jumped this
year. He shot 106 points to his op
posing centers 24. He played center
in football and as soon as a tonic for
laziness is discovered he may make an
athlete.
“Old Fred Maxwell” at guard struck
terror in the ranks of every scoring
machine that stacked up against this
lad.
And last, hut not least, comes John
Robinson, the best guard in 48 states.
Really the way tills boy could pass,
dribble, pivot and shoot was a reve
lation. He played half back in football
and is no slouch on the cinder path. We
predict for him a brilliant future
Wooi I tin Hill, alternating with Wil
son at forward, could always be count
ill mi for several counters when they
were needed. He played half back in
foot ball.
I Alton Young was a handy man to
l have in a suit. He played halfback in
| football. Brookshire, though handi
capped in size, when stacked up against
those big fellows always gave a good
account of himself.
At tlie Northeast Georgia Tourna
ment held in Athens the Junior Bull
dogs showed up well and were only put
out of (lie running by a one point de
cision in a hard luck, heart-breaking
game. If fate had only smiled on one
of those hard fought for shots those
Junior Bulldogs would have sewed up
tilings.
For the benefit of tlie bugs who would
like tlie statistics on these flying bull
dogs we submit tlie following:

Captain McWhorter tied for tlie hon
or of being the best foul shooter in the
tournament and was in the first five in
scoring. He dropped in 14 fret' throws.
Kinch Carpenter shot 28 points to his
opponents 4 and was also in the first five
in scoring, and John Roldnson. our di
minutive guard, was awarded the hand
some silver loving cup given tin* best

Winder Wins In
Triangular Debate.
On last Friday night, Winder, Law
reneeville and Buford High schools met
in the triangular debates that had been
arranged between these schools. Win
der won over Buford in this city,
Misses Margaret Walker and ltunette
Benton representing Winder in this
contest. Miss Erwin and Mr. Pirkle
represented Buford. Two of the judges
favored Winder and one Buford, thus
giving Winder the decision. The sub
ject debated was "Resolved, That the
Moving Picture Shows are Helpful to
the Public.” Winder contestants es
poused the affirmative of the question
and Buford the negative. All four of
the debaters did well, but the Winder
representatives clearly out-debated
their opponents. Misses Benton and
Walker were heartily congratulated on
their victory.
At Lawrenceville at the same time
tlie same subject was debated, Winder
espousing the negative and being rep
resented by Harold Starr and Frances
Hubbard. The decision at this place
was unanimous in favor of Winder,
both Winder debaters easily out-wit
ting their opponents.
At Buford, Lawrenceville and Buford
debating the same question, Buford
won out over the former place.
Hence, in the triangular contest,
Winder won first place, Buford second
place and Lawrenceville coming as
third.
Winder lias a splendid chance to lie
one of the debaters in the Ninth Dis
trict High school Meet at Toccoa the
latter part of April.

WINDER’S WATER
SUPPLY IS GOOD
I)r. H. <’. Woodall, director of sani*
tary engefleering and water analysis
of the State Hoard of Health, makes
Hit' following report to Mr. J. B. Coop
er, Superintendent of Water aud Light
department of this city, of water sam
ples collected on March 23rtl.
“Sample No. (130, from creek shows at
this time a considerable degree of pol
lution. Sample No. <>3l from clear wa
ter basin, and No. <132 from tap at the
court house both show at this time a
very excellent water.”
Thus it will lie seen that Winder’s
water supply is excellent? While the
creek water shows pollution, after it is
futon'll and made ready for use, it is alt
right.
SONG SERVICE BY
METHODIST CHOIR
Before a large and enthusiastic au
dience, the Methodist choir gave an
evening of music on Sunday night, in
cluding the elaborate cantata, “Gallia.”
This is a difficult and extremely beau
tiful piece of music, and is perhaps the
most ambitious program ever presented
iu Winder. The cantata is a musical in
terpretation of the old testament book
of Lamentations, and is descriptive of
the captivity of the children of Israel
and the dawnfall of Jerusalem. The
plaintive notes in the opening strain,
leading up to the famous passage “Is
it nothing to you, all ye who pass by”
was given a superb and sympathetic in
terpretation, and the final chorus with
its spirit of hope for the future brought
out ihe wonderful volume and spirit of
the full choir.
A competent critic, who lias heard
tliis pil'd' of music given in cathedrals
and large city churches by profession
al singers, declared that the best pro
duction of this work that she had ever
heard was that, given by the Winder
choir. The soloists, Mrs. Land, Miss
Gamp and Mr. Knit Higgins, could not,
tic surpassed and the ensemble num
bers were given with a spirit and diijdi
tliut fajjrly swot the listeners off their
feet. Sud) a program is a musical ed
ucation in itself, and adds to the words
of scripture set to music, an added maj
esty and beauty. Tlie duet by Mrs. C.
R. Mott and Miss Ora Lee Camp was
also a pleasing feature of the program.
Owing to repeated and urgent re
quests. tii ■ cantata will he given again
on the night of Palm Sunday at the
close of the sermon, which will also be
appropriate to the Lenten season.
This wi 11 be on the second Sunday of
April mid not the least interested hear
ers will be these who enjoyed the music
on last Sunday.
