Dr. C. B. Mott, president of the Barrow County
Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. J. C. Stiekney, sec
retary. were busy all day long, looking after the vis
itors and seeing that the program was carried out
as planned. They succeeded thoroughly, and two more
energetic and thorough going citizens cannot be found
anywhere la the state. Winder appreciates them.
__ O
We wonder what Bro. Townsend, of Dahlouega, is
doing up so late at nights. We thought a man of his
age would go to bed with the chickens. On the other
hand, he is staying up late at night keeping watch on
the young people of Ills town. Here is what he says:
“At a late hour at night home is the place for both
boys and girls. We could tell of happenings which
the participants don’t think we know that would make
them blush with shame and be a surprise to the na
tives.”
O
Holding cotton lias hurt the South to the tune of
millions of dollars. It has grown to be a disease, long
ago passing the habit stage. When prices are high,
somebody who thinks he is doing the farmer a favor,
advises him to hold for still higher prices. In too
many cases the advice is beetled. As the result, ac
counts remain unpaid, notes go unpaid, interest char*,
ges accumulate, warehouse charges are met, and final
ly, the price goes down, causing a fearful loss and get-
the farmer’s temper out of whack. Georgia s
Pmain trouble right now is due to cotton holding, rath
er than general deflation. —Commerce Observer.
This Would Boost Things
No one thing will help business In this country quite
so much as a revival of debt paying. The wheels are
locked, and will remain locked as long as these old
debts are unpaid. Perhaps all the debts cannot he
paid—very probably they cannot Is* at one time —hut
many people can do better than they are doing. The
time is here when cotton must he sold and debts paid.
—The Jackson Progress-Argus.

The Electric Chair.
We understand that a hill will be Introduced in the
legislature this summer looking to the abolishment
of the gallows and the substitution of the electric
chair in its place. We think the measure ought to
pass. We believe iu capital punishment, hut hanging
always did seem to us barbarous and cruel, and some
other way of meting out capital punishment ought to
he devised. Even the guillotine is better than hang
ing. But it strikes the News that the electric chair
is the best mode of putting an end to those who have
forfeited the right to live. It is instantaneous and
effective and we are sure that there is no physical
suffering attached to it.
The Georgia legislature is rather slow about making
changes, but the proposed Dill will become a law at
some time in the future, and we believe the Booner
the better.
O
Where Are We “At”, Anyhow?
Word comes indirectly from Washington that Sen
ator Thomas E. Watson is urging Herbert Clay to
oppose Governor Hardwick for re-election, promising
him his active support. The Atlanta Constitution and
Holloman are for Clay. Senator Harris, down in his
heart, is for him, as a matter of course, but it vyould
ill become him) to say so, and he will not, because he
is not only one of the cleanest gentlemen in the state,
but is also a good politician. Senator Watson can
afford to come out in the open and tight Hardwick be
cause lie feels that lie elected him. He feels that
Hardwick lias "gone hack on him.” With Senator
Watson’s friends opposing him, and Harris’ friends
lining up solidly in order to clear the way for 1024,
Clay would have a strong array of support to start
with.
What of Hardwick’s support? Don’t believe for a
moment that the Game Cock would wilter under the
heart of this blazing sun of opposition. He is liis own
best support, for no man that ever lived can meet
him face to face on the stump and best him. As Josh
Billings would say 1 “it can’t he did.” Besides, he is to
have the support of hundreds of the strongest poli
ticians and newspapers in the state.
Say, folks, don’t you see we are in for a summer
of fine fun? Don’t you?—Alpharetta Free Press.
O
The Attribute of Thrift.
The attribute of thrift is one of the finest charac
teristics that any man can possess. It brings prosper
ity, independence and happiness to him who has it.
It strengthens his character, widens liis usefulness
and carves out for him a career of success and satis
faction in life.
The strong characteristics of life come only thru
denial of self. Self-gratification always brings weak
ness. It weaknens our will power and debilitates our
manhood. The master spirits of the world have al
ways been trained in the schools of adversity and
self-denial. They learned how to do without things.
So it is to-day with those who would be strong
spirits in tlie world. We must learn how to do with
out and save our earnings and our powers. As these
multiply they bring us, strength and enable us to
win victories over the apposing forces of life. What
the world needs to-day more than anything else is to
inculcate in our young people the principles of thrift
and economy.
O
Editor Townsend, up ot Dahlonega, is surely down
on those who take advantage of the bankrupt courts
and go into voluntary bankruptcy. Listen to him:
“During the past week we noticed where two parties
settled off large debts against them in different .ways
—one by going into bankruptcy and the other by cut
ting his throat. One is about as had as the other,”
O
We heartily agree with Editor Shannon, of the
Commerce News, when he says: The Georgia bank
rupt law should be wiped from the statute hooks. No
man or corporation should be allowed to go iuto bank
ruptcy and thus settle all he owes, at three cents in
the dollar. If we would fill the house and senate with
old time Hardshell Baptists, they would make mince
meat of that unjust law at the first session.”
O
Editor Townsend is very solicitous about the finan
cial welfare of those around Dahlonega who manu
facture mountain dew. Some of them must have lost
some money lately. Hear him:
"It is very unwise for those who manufacture moun
tain dew to sell it to any one away from here on a
credit, because the most of them put poison in it to
kill people. Then die and go to hell for their deeds,
leaving the manufacturer unpaid.”
O
The only consolation some of us have these* days is
the thought that the other fellow' is iu a tight also.
O
It is getting time to garden.
