Why The Editor Left Town.
Somebody sent the editor of the weekly newspaper
ii few botth-s of mountain dew on tile same day that
he received for publication a wedding announcement
and a notice of an auction sale. In that week’s issue
appeared the following:
“Wui. Smith and Miss Lucy Anderson were dispos
ed of at public auction at my farm one mile south of
a beautiful cluster of roses on lier breast and two
white calves, before a background of farm implements
too numerous to mention in the presence of about 60
guests, including two milk cows, six mules and one
bob-sled. Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot with 200
feet of hay rope and tin* bridal couple left on one
John Deere gang plow for an extended trip with terms
to suit purchasers. They will he at home to their
friends witli one good baby buggy aiid a few kitchen
utensils after, ten months from date of sale to re
sponsibl • parties and some fifty chickens.” —Selected.
O
Cotton Mills Coming South
That the South is the logical place for the cotton
manufacturing industry of this country is fast be
coming a certainty in the business activities of the
United States. We have equal water power, superior
climatic conditions, and much better labor conditions
than any other section of the country.
The Interhational Cotton Company will abandon
its factories in Manchester, New Hampshire, and will
transfer its operations from New England to one of
tlic Southern plants. It has the following to say in
regard to its removal.
“However, the removal of the Stark mill activities
from Manchester to one of the Southern cotton manu
facturing cities is not done for controversial effect.
It is not a move in a labor dispute, tt is a public and
indisputable notice by the International Cotton com
pany, owners of the Stark mill that they can manu
facture the former products of the Stark mill more
cheaply and more profitably in the South than in New
Hampshire. Here is a blunt, uncompromising truth
which it is imperative New England and New Hamp
shire acknowledge, and take such steps as may be
practical to retard the tendency disclosed until in
terests now engaged in the manufacture of cotton can
establish other lines of manufacure —the highest
grades of cottons and all grades of woolens, for in
stance —to give their operatives steady employment
and return a respectable dividend on the capital in
vested.”
The cotton company further says, <l tlie gravity of
flip situation for the future of the cotton business in
New England ought to command most active and ag
gressive co-operation between employees, with the pub
lic militantly insistent that some end be made to a
struggle which not only imposes huge losses upon all
including the business public of the cities affected,
hut which menaces the very life of the industry from
which New England draws so large a proportion of
her ineqpie.”

Rev. W. H. Faust
V’
The News but voices the sentiment of all our people
when we express our very keen regret that Rev. W.
H. Faust, for so many years the pastor of the First
Baptist church of this city, has felt it his duty to
accept a call to an Atlanta church and to remove o
that city. For nine years he has held the pastorate
here, coming here when the church was small, and
by his work and devotion to duty has made it one of
the strong, aggressive churches of the state.
Not only has he been an able and diligent pastor
but his work for his denomination throughout this
entire section lias been of the highest order, and
all Northeast Georgia will feel the loss of his se
moval.
His interest in the civic improvement of our town
and county was very marked, and he was easily one
of the foremost citizens of the city and county With
his voice and pen he ever contended for the things
that make for the progress and advancement of peo
ple, and lie leaves a vacancy in the religious and civic
life of our section that it will be hard to till.
The editor of the News feels that lie is losing the
daily association of a very close friend. We have
known him for years, but only since our removal to
Winder have we enjoyed that close fellowship with
him that enables one to find out the real qualities of
a man. Mr. Faust is a real man, a man of convictions,
a man of energy and a man of usefulness and power.
His genial nature made him a fine associate, and we
will miss more than words can express his visits to
our office and our trips to various religious meetings
together.
We hope he will visit Winder often, and that his
highest aspirations will tie realized in liis new field
of labor.

The Georgia editors will go to St. Simons for their
outing this summer after the convention in Quitman.
We wonder if that resort will have the same effect
on “Shack” of the Oglethorpe Echo, as Tybee did
last year?
THE WINDER NEWS
THE AMERICAN LEGION
WILL HOLD FESTIVITIES
i
With plans almost completed July
fourth promises to be one of the most
brilliant days in the history of Athens
and northeast Georgia. The program
for the day is in the hands of the
American Legion of which Frank Hol
den is the commander and no pains are
being spared to make the festivities at
that time complete in every detail.
A speaker of national importance!
whos<' name has not yet been given out |
•will deliver the principal address of
the day. It is not known who the'
speaker will be, but officials of the le- 1
gion intimate that he will be one of
the big men, probably not from Geor-;
gia.
Another feature of the day’s program '
will be a game of baseball between the
crack teams from Elberton and Buford,
Both teams rang among the best in the
state and it is expected that the score
will he remarkably close. -
Daylight fireworks will he one of

item and the day will he brought to a
successful ending with the brilliant
ball at the Moss auditorium, in the ev
nning. All of Northeast Georgia is

the thousands.
ALEXANDER STEPHENS
GETS DIPLOMA THIS YEAR.
Alexander H. Stephens gets his diplo
ma from the State University this year.
He didn’t have the price, $2.00, back
in 1832. The diploma will be delivered
to his great-great grand niece. Miss j
Queen Elizabeth Holden, of Athens, the i
daughter of Judge Horace Holden, for
mer supreme court justice at the com
mencement exercises in Athens this
week.
The reason Mr. Stephens did not get
his diploma back in 1832 was that the
diploma cost at that time $2.00. and Mr.
Stephens did not think that his state
of finances justified an outlay of so
much money for such an object. It has
been ninety years since Mr. Stephens
graduated at the University and forty
years since his death.

unprotected so far as being vaccinated

Vitamine Cold Slaw
Red cabbage is nice for this but
if impossible to secure, use white—
which also contains a plentiful sup
ply of health-giving vitamines when
raw. Slice one small head of cab
bage fine; add two minced onions;
one cup chopped Spanish
olives (stoned); vinegar, salt and
pepper to suit the taste. It’s anew
slaw, a healthful slaw and a deli
cious slaw. <*>
