TELLS FOLKS KEEP
OUTOFCHAINGANG
Elberton, Ga., Mar. 4, 1922.
Editor Elbertou Star:
Dear Sir: I'm sending you a letter
for publication of my personal experi
ence and a sketch of life as lived by the
non-law abiding. I wish herein to give
those who are walking in the shadows
of sin, in the wake of “John Barley
Corn” a warning.
The traffic of the demon rum is the
cause of more unhappiness and sor
row than any one thing on earth. When
you are engaged in the illegitimate
trade of transporting, buying or selling
and the greatest of all curses indulg
ing, you have no thought of the friends,
that you are bound to lose, you can’t
realize the sorrow you are visiting on
the little wife who gave her love and
life into your keeping. You are unable
to see that you are a beast and not
a man. You fail to see or care for the
advantages that you are surely taking
from the babe, that you’ve so often
held in your arms and hoped that the
best in life should be theirs.
The curse of drink has blinded you
to the fact that you were once the pride
of a mother who had hopes and dreams
of the man you would grow to be. Do
you think that that little mother ever
had the least idea that you, her boy,
would ever be despised by the better el
ement, or a thing hunted as a wolf?
No! Surely not. Are you going to be
the way and means of bringing sorrow
and heartaches to those little ones who
can only accept what is offered them.
Are you going to supply daddy with
the rum that will deprive them of the
bread and all else that is their right by
birth? Are you going to do anything
that will send your fellowmen to hell
and bring destruction into his home or
visit it on posterity.
I'm here now on the Elbert county
chaingang serving a sentence of twelve
months for violation of the prohibition
law, and not so many days ago I was at
work up near home hauling rock from
a field within a hundred yards of my
home. The home that I had lived in hap
py with my wife and children. Can you
imagine my feeling when my wife and
children came down where I was at
work and saw me branded with the
brand of penal servitude ? Clothed in
the stripes of a felon, chained with
the chains of the law-breakers.
My baby girl three years of age got
on my knee ami after kissing me and
putting her baby arms around my neck
asked me, “daddy, why don’t you come
home?” And because of the curse of
whiskey I couldn’t even go to the house.
How many of you are on the same
road? Those who are, take my advise
and don’t. You may get by for a long
time but you’ll get caught sooner or
later. . . ..„
With me out here are six more white
fellows, three of them are long-timers,
two of them have life, the other one
from four to ten years. They all are
here due directly or indirectly to whis
kev. One has a wife and baby girl.
Whiskey is the cause of his haying to
be away from his wife and child, bo
take my advice and keep in the right
path. Take it from one who knows.
It‘s all wrong. Thanking you, I am
Very truly yours,
DEE GUEST,
Elbert County Chaingang.

Antioch Missionary
Baptist Church
Now, dear reader, I can eat crow as
easy as any one. lam now correcting
a story I tqld last week, that Antioch
was a Methodist church. We have found
an old church book of Antioch and find
names that will interest many kin who
live near and far from this old church.
On last Wednesday Messrs. James
Moseley, Mr. Crumley and Mr. Bryan
of Henry county, came into Winder and
the writer went with them to the cem
etery of this old church looking for
the graves of departed ancestors. They
could not be located.
I have had the pleasure of scanning
the old minutes and rolls of this old
church and they make interesting read
ing. In one minute I read hastily “1845
conference continued. Bro stuted
his reason for his absence. Received
4 gallons for refreshments.. The next
case was that of Bro. ” The second
reading I read it thus: “4th call for ref
erence.”
On April 18, 1861, this old church
was abandoned and Cedar creek was
the offspring. The old record I have
been reading was turned over or car
ried to the new church.
Those who formed themselves into
a church at Cedar Creek were: Jesse
Osburn, A. M. Garrett, Thomas Harvil,
Milt Osborn, J. S. Hunter. G H Stewart,
E. D. Garrett, James Garret, Susan
Hoopaw, Mary Manders, Martha Hun

was moderator and J. Hewman was

A NICE LETTER.
Franklin, N. C., Mar. 25. 1922
Dear Editor:—
I enclose subscription for another
year to The News. Would not want to
be without it.
RUTH HALE PEARCE.
P. S.—Mr. Parham certainly intends
doing some intensive gardening. Must
be planning to have hi-s hired man
count the seeds, manicure each one
separately and plant in layers instead
of rows. Here’s wishing him luck.
(The business manager of The News
says that ‘luck is agin him.” It has
rained, so he says, 24 hours every day
since Christmas, and he is atwiut ready
to sell his garden implements, seed, etc.
at half price, turn off his hired man,
and rent out his garden for a cow pas
ture. —Ed.)

By Arnold B. Hall, Wadley, Ga.
Oh. hearts of the hidden places,

Fame may never find your faces,
But love may give you room.

TWICE PROVEN
If you suffer aekache. sleepless nights
and tired, dull and distressing urinary
disorders, don’t experiment. Read this
twice-told testimony. It’s Winder evi
dence—doubly proven.
Mrs. R. L. Sharpton, 301 Bush Ave.,
says: “Some years ago I suffered a lot
with pains in the small of my back.
I had nervous spells and the least
thing irritated me. I also had dizzy
spells and it felt as if everything was
going around and specks darted in
front of my eyes. My didn’t
act right at all. Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me by a friend
so I bought a box of Doa’n at DeLa-
Perriere’s Drug Store and I was re
lieved of the backache and my kidneys
were regulated.” (Statement given on
April 20. 1018.)
On December 14, 1921, Mrs. Sharp
ton said: “I am glad to praise Doan’s
Kidney Pills for what they have done
for me. I eonflrm my former state
ment. The occasional use of Doan’s
keeps my kidneys In good condition all
the time.”

Eggs Cheap Now
but how about the price next win
ter? We all know that the hen
that lays in the winter is the
one that brings us money. Why?
Because the law of “supply and
demand” is nowhere more no
ticeable than in the egg market.
So next November and December
when your neighbors' hens have
gone on a “strike” until spring,
why not listen to the cackling of
hens in your own barn-lot, and
reap the resultant profits there
from? You can do that very
thing by starting this spring with
our heavy-laying strain of either
Anconas or White Leghorns.
Let us ship you some day-old
chicks. Next fall you will start
taking profits and keep right on
at it, for once you have started
with purebred poultry you will
get rid of your scrubs. It pays.
Try it.
