Herrins Drug Store Winder Nat. Bank Building “16 Steps from Broadway” Telephone No. 2. VOL. XXIX. CUFF WALKER TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR Political circles were stirred in the state last Saturday by the announce ment that Clifford Walker, of Monroe, prominent in Georgia politics for years, would oppose Governor Thomas W. Hardwick for re-election next Sep tember. Walker, who opposed Hardwick for governor in the primary of 1920, was formerly attorney general of the state. Taxes are expected to play the great est part in the gubernatorial campaign Walker is expected to oppose the state income tax law which Hardwick fa vors. Since the first of the year Governor Hardwick has conducted a campaign throughout the state in favor of the passage of an income tax law by the legislature, which meets this month. The governor has declared that he be lieves an income tax system of raising public moneys is superior to the one now in use and his position has brought the issue to the fore as one of the de termining factors in his bid for re election. Former Governor Slaton opposed Hardwick's stand, as have several oth er prominent men who claim that any change in the tax laws would work a hardship upon the people, especially at this time. Neither Senator Watson nor Senator Harris has come out unequivocally on the fax question, which bids fair to change the political line-up in Georgia. Mr. Walker’s announcement was made at Monroe Saturday afternoon. It i(*as follows: “I have decided definitely to become a candidate for governor in the ap •proaching democratic primary. I>ater I will publish the platform on which I will ask the suffrage of our people. In this platform I will state my posi tion on all matters in which I believe the people are now interested. I will maintain headquarters here at Monroe, but will not take the stump earlier than the first of July, as conditions justify. Miss Eula J Hill Praised Miss Eula J. Hill, daughter of Mr. J. E.

You have a wonderful moving pict ure show building, but for the past few weeks it has been dark. Why? For lack of patronage. There is no need to enter into an argument as to wheth er the pictures shown under the for mer management was worthy of the patronage of Winder people or not; the thing that faces us today is, that we now have n new manager, and it is up to the people of your city, who have the interests of Winder at heart, to watch and see what the manager of fers the people of Winder, and if she shows the pictures that a town the size of Winder can expect, then it is the DUTY of the people of Winder to respond, not only by word of mouth, but by actual patronage, night after night. The writer hns investigated this mat ter and he is assured that the Strand Theater, under the new management will positively give the people of Win der the very best pictures, if the Strand is supported; the present man agement is gambling upon the civic pride of the representative people of Winder, and “Observer” for one, does not believe that Winder will he found wanting. No town the size of Winder can af ford to be without a decent, first class moving picture theater; it is an as set to the town; it brings trade to the town; and it is a tremendous force for good in any community where the pic tures are selected with good judgment and care, and the writer is assured that the Strand will show only good pictures, anil that good order will be [preserved at all times and fur i ther more, within a few weeks ] just as soon as the place can he clean ed up and painted inside, the people will not know the place. Come on; let’s go Where? To The Strand, of course, for the Winder peo ple will not let a good thing go by the board for lack of patronage, so long as they are assured that It is a good thing.
