AN INTERESTING
LETTER, READ IT!
The Ford Motor Company of Atlan
ta, has sent out the following letter
to the Ford Service stations through
out the South. It shows what they
think of advertising, and is complimen
tary to the King Motor Cos., of this city
and the Winder News as an advertis
ing medium. Mr. Advertiser, read it:
Atlanta, Ga., March 31, 192:2.
Gentlemen:—
Six Tractors sold in one month! Some
Record.
One of the main reasons why this
dealer sells six tractors in one month
is the personal touch which he keeps
with all farmers in his territory.
The attached advertisement, which
was run in the Winder News, can’t help
but arrest the attention of every far
mer who reads that paper. Mr. Holli
day is a promiennt resident of Statham,
and when Mr. Holliday buys a tractor
and drives it home, the farmers of
that section are going to have more
confidence in the Fordson tractor be
cause Mr. Holliday bought one.
Some dealers believe that advertising
won't pay. A little ad stuck up in the
corner will not! But Mr. Mott, our
dealer at Winder, knows that advertis
ing does pay.
And his section is no better than
yours!
Ford Motor Company.

Preventative Medicine.
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It is 1
easier and better to prevent than to!
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most dan-1
gerous diseases that medical men have!
i) contend with, often follows a cold
or attack of the grip. The cold pre
pares the system fot the reception and
development of the pneumonia germ.
The longer the cold hangs, the greater
the danger. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indication
if a cold appears so as to get rid of it
"ith the least possible delay. It is
folly to risk an attack of pneumonia

C. M. THOMPSON ON
CHURCH PROGRAMS
AND JAZZ MUSIC &C.
Says If the Simple Story’ of the Son of
Man Cannot Draw’ Men to a Place
of-Worship, Fears Man is Lost
The Rev. W. H. Faust in one of his
Snap Shots ami long fire said more
than can be fully comprehended by the
average church goer of the day. In
common parlance lie said a mouthful
of good hard sense when he said, ‘When
a church lias to depend on programs,
etc., the devil gets in a good job for
himself.” * v
When a man or woman is induced
to attend a place of worship for any
purpose save the salvation of his or
her soul or the interest they feel for a
kinsman or neighbor, they are satisfied
with temporary things and no motive
from a religious standpoint can exist.
If I go to church for the enjoyment of
the nightingale tones that echo thru
its halls I reap as I have sown, and
carry home with me high and low cords
of music at war with each other, each
striving for the precedence causing the
whole nervous system to rcl>el at the
hour of repose. i
If I go to church and have drummed
into my ears the squeak of the violin,
the toot, toot, of brazen or silver horns
and my mind carried to dance halls,
that much of my time had best be spent
at. home with my departed friends I
find in books.
If the simple story of the Son of Man
of our Creator cannot draw men to a
place of worship I fear that man is
lost. You certainly are trying other
doors in which to enter the kingdom.
There is a Savior and by him and his
plan shall ye enter. But some wise gyus
of late seek to entertain and charm
mankind by inducements which appeal
to their depraved nature and instead of
being lead into the kingdom they be
come more and more entangled in tlie
snares of his Sutanie Majesty.
Men and women are made sinners of
a deeper dye when they enter the house
of God and go away with their minds
filled with worldly tilings.
Who is it can go to church, eat gor
mandizlugly, then lounge on a pleas
ant pew, listen to fast, flippant, jazzy
music, or to tlie charming tones which
are rendered by the fairest of tlie fair,
.and hold liis miml in a prayerful atti
! tude towards his Maker? The beastly
nature of man must be in a mesmeric
control e’re he can keep in due bounds
of reason. I am afraid tlds influence
would unfrock many of those who fill
the scored desk.
Say, why not throw the influence of
a departed Christian mother or father
in their way, sing their God-fearing and
devil-fearing songs, lay aside the frol
ic of the day, think of heaven and for
get money, money, money. No service
of this day is complete without money.
Maybe that is the reason for jazz, vio
lin and horn. They bring the crowd and
the crowd bring the cash. If true, what
a shame!
This makes men demons and demons
fill our courts, jails and chaingangs.
The start is jazz, the fairest of the fair,
gels crowds which furnish the cash
which rolls the wheels of the times to
an end that is not desired by any man
or women. It was money that helped
Jo betray our blessed Lord. It was jazz
music or its equivalent that wrought
upon the mind of the damsel who danc
ed before the king which caused the
beheading of John the Baptist.
It was the charms of Cleoparta that
caused the downfall of Anthony. Gor
mandizing has slain its thousands as
well as intemperance. Then take mon
ey, music, damsels degraded and gor
mandizing out of some assemblies and
you would soon have almst an empty
house, he they so few who are guiltless.
Most anyone can tear down a build
ing hut few' can erect. Many can show
the errors but few' can give a remedy.
I only ask that when you enter the
house of the Lord for service, go in
with a smile'of confidence and act well
your part as a follower of the meek
and lowly Savior, without pomp, noisy
pride or presumption.
If you put on a program or other
entertainment, do it at other hours
than the usual hour for divine worship
so that the world may know. If you
believe in gormandizing, dancing or
gaming, let those gatherings come at
a season different from divine worship.

A Newspaper As
It Is And As It is
Supposed to Be.
There are some people who take the
view that a newspaper is a garbage
bucket into which anything may be
dumped. Mistake No. 1. There are
some people who think that a newspa
per is published only to serve their sel
fish interests and throw the harpoon
into the other fellow. Mistake No. 2.
There are some people w'ho think that
a newspaper should print wliat is ob
viously advertising matter without a
single cent of compensation. Mistake
No. ;{. There are many other similar
mistakes with regard to the publica
tion of a newspaper but these will an
swer for tin l moment.
A newspaper is not duty bound to
print anything that it doesn’t want to
print. There is no rule that requires it
to print something of absolutely no
news value just because somebody
wants to effusively laud some person
whose laudation is not earned, nor to
lambast some individual where adverse
criticism is not deserved. It is not print
ed for the purpose of satisfying selfish
motives. There is not the remotest rea
son why it should give away its space
to somebody who is nmuing sometliiug
for monetary benefit.
The mission of a newspaper is to
print news of general interest. Some
thing concerning a single individual
is not news. An article skinning some
private enemy or opponent is not news.
Numerous other things of a like na
ture that find their way into a news
paper office are not news. It is not
hard for trained newspaper men to
draw the distinguishing line if they;
will stop a moment and give the matter,
logical thought.
True it is that a newspaper gives
away much, oßpccinlly where charity,
is concerned, but it does not follow that
the publisher should adopt charity as
ail established custom and open tlie
door freely to all comers. Space is the
only thing that a newspaper has to sell, 1
and the publisher who gives it away
is no wiser than the merchant who
gives away a tiat or a suit of clothes
to tlie man who comes into his store
and asks for them. —Exchange.
Fine Fellows —These.
"
At the risk of being misunderstood,
and being charged with unpardonable
discrimination, we venture to assert,
that there are no better men in Geor
gia than some of the men who are in
charge of some of the weekly papers
in Northeast Georgia. Not, that there (
are not just as good men in the news- j
paper business in other sections,' but
we are more familiar with our neigh
bors. We know them better. We take*
no risk in making statements about
them for we know whereof we speak, j
We cannot mention all of them but at *
the risk of being charged with dis-1
crimination we do want to say some
thing of a few of our near neighbor j
brethren. Than editor E. H. Graves, j
of the Toccoa Record, there are no
better men in Georgia. Besides being
a scholar and a Christian, Mr. Graves
is a real gentleman. His life is a bene
diction to any community. And right
over here in a twenty minutes run in
an auto, is John Holder. There’s noth
ing against him. There’s just lots of
things in his favor. He is the one man
in Georgia and the only one we know (
who, after a period of 25 years in pol
itics, is a much better man to-day, than
he was then. He is the acknowledged
leader in business in agricultural, in
educational and church affairs in hisj
town. That says just lots for any man.
Then over a few miles further is edi
tor McWhorter, who is a combination!
of editor and preacher. He belongs to j
tiie type which constitutes the salt of,
the earth. None better anywhere. Jump-i
ing Southward a few miles we find two
more editors, Caldwell and Camp. The
former preaches in the pulpit and ex
horts in his paper, while the latter
writes beautiful poetry and ennobling
editorials, standing always for the best*
in hi town, county and church. It
would tie cruel not to mention Shack,
af the Echo, down at Lexington, and
Bruner down in old Bob Toombs home, |
or Bacon, over at Madison. My what!
fine fellows, every •'■one of them. Then
over at Hartwell is our friend Morris, j
who sticks to Ids newspaper six days i
and nights in the week and then sticks j
to his church all day Sunday. Who ■
knows a better man than Morris? En |
route back home we come through La- (
vonia where Rush Burton gets out one;
of the best weeklies in Georgia, teach- j
es his Sunday school class every Sun-1
day, is lay leader of the North Georgia
conference and a good one too, and who*
boards seven days in the week with the;
best hotel keeper in Georgia. We must i
resist the temptation to go beyond this
home circle, but we could not longer re-;
sist the temptation to say this for it.
lias been on our mind for many months, j
We have referred to these gentlemen
not so much as good editors —they are
all of that, hut have referred to them
as good men. Its a far higher honor
to say of them that they are good men,
than to say they are good editors. Ev
ery one of them is a conscientious de
pendable leader in his community, and
men who held the unshaken confidence
of the people who know them best.—
