AGKOUCH is always diseased, prysically, finan

O
If “cussing” the tax official would pay our taxes,
they would all very likely be paid that way, saints
and sinners alike.
O
Cotton went up almost ten dollars per hale last
Tuesday, following the Government's report on the
condition of the crop.
O
The present sweltering days are conclusive evidence
that the backbone of winter has been brokn.
O
Politicians, ns a rule, don't care what becomes of
the people, just so they can ride them.
O
Some men who are opposed to the prohibition laws
think it is better to drink legalized ’’booze” rather
than illegal “booze.” Both are equally destructive
of man’s best nature.

O
Some guy has said “It is a great thing to come
from a state of poverty.” Every man that gets out
of a state of poverty thinks he has done a great thing.
If we ever get out of it, we are sure going to think
it's great.
O
Hon. Tbos. M. Bell is being praised by ex-soldiers
over the entire Ninth district for the efficient service
he is rendering them in helping to get their com
pensation and insurance. Mr. Bell has been tried and
will do to trust. —Alpharetta Free Press.
Congressman Bell Is one of the strongest and most
useful men in congress from Georgia or any other
state. Ills experience in national affairs makes him
a valuable representative of the people.
O
Two years ago, Mr. Anderson, of the Mucon Tele
graph, said some salty tilings about Cliff Walker In
the early stages of the campaign. I-ater, he came
around with anew vision and supported him. Now,
it seems that he is lined up with Mr. Hardwick in
opposition to Mr. Walker. Truly, politics make
strange bedfellows. —Commerce News.
Possibly the capital removal question has some
thing to do with Mr. Anderson’s change of fronts. We
understand that Governor Hardwick is in favor of
submitting the question to the voters of tne state.
O
Brother McWhorter, of the Winder News, carried
an editorial last week on the “end of the world.”
Hold up a bit, if you please, brother; don’t pull that
thing off at least until after the press meet at Quitman
Please quit-man. —Commerce News.
If our brother will read our editorial closely he
will see that we took the position that the world
would not end right away. When writing said edito
rial we had in view the press meeting at Quitman.
We realize it would be unfair to John Shannon, Geo.
ltueker, Juck Patterson, “Shack,” of Lexington, and
some other of the boys to stop the old world until
after their annual “fill-up” at Quitman. In fact, we
don’t want it to end until we get a "whack” at Rush
Burton over at Lavonia next year. i

> - Our Banks. r
The banking institutions all over the country are
beginning to appreciate the value of newspaper ad
vertising. They realize that it is necessary that the
public should be educated along the lines of business
which concern these Institutions, and there is no
better way in which the banks can talk to the people
than through the columns of the local paper. The
Houston tTexas) Post, In commenting on this ques
tion says truly:
“It is advisable for the public to know what ser
vice the banks are rendering. Confidence will he
strengthened and a greater degree of interest taken In
them if the hanks tell their constituents about tho
things that confront them. It is the growing practice
among banks In both the cities and in the small towns
to convey their messages to the people through news
paper advertising.”
Commenting on the above, the Atlanta Constitu
tion says. “If is good to see these banking announce
ments occupying such liberal space in so many of the
smaller dallies and weekly papers of the state. It
stimulates business and Is one of tbe best recommen
dations.”

The Real Test.
Most people can work and dig and toil when they
feel good and things are going well. But the real
test of manhood and of the attributes that lead to
success is to hold on doggedly when you are not
feeling so bouyant and when the tide is running
against you. When the load is heavy and the hill Is
steep and you are tired and would fain lie down
and rest, to keep tugging at the load and to keep the
traces tight, is to show the qualities that the gods of
success smile upon.
It takes a stout hearted man or woman of faith to
stem the adverse currents of life and win out in
spite of opposing forces. These present times try us,
hut if we will brace ourselves for the contest, and go
forward, we will win out in the affairs of life and
lie stronger men and women for the fight that we put
up.

.The Presence of Death
Near Macon a few days ago there was an auto
mobile wrecked and six people killed. They were
tuorists—strangers in the community where the
tragedy occurred —and only one of the party lived
long enough to give their names and home address,
and then she passed out. The Moultrie Observer seiz
es upon this unfortunate tragedy to write a splendid
editorial upon the uncertainty of life. Among other
things our Moultrie contemporary says:
“This was a ease where destiny decreed that the
hand of death should not he restrained. The
reaper plucked a whole family in an instant. W e
live in the presence of death all the time.
You know not the hour or the minute when your
life will be snuffed out. The dangers on the high
ways and on the streets increase and we will soon
have as many deaths on the public thorough
fares as we have in the hospitals. You cannot
tell when death will strike again, or how close
it will come to you.”
O
More Speedy Trials.
In delivering ills charge to tho Fulton county grand
jury last Monday, Judge John I). Humphries stressed
the importance of more speedy trials for criminal
cases in the courts of Georgia He is right. The
underlying cause of most of the lynching cases in
this state is the delay in meting out punishment to
those that are guilty of crimes. It is useless to hold
up our hands in horror when a criminal is lynched
and at the same time have our courts through tech
nicalities delay the punishment of those who ought
to be punished.
Many of our best and most law-nhbling citizens arc
getting disgusted with the way criminals in this state
escape the just punishment of their misdeeds, and
while not encouraging lynching*, are doing nothing
to prevent them.
This lynching question is in the hands of our courts.
They can do more to solve it than any other agency.
O
Stand By Your Town.
<
There are some people in Winder that send their
job printing off to Atlanta and other places without
even getting our prices. There are some people that
go to other cities to buy their dry goods, shoes and
other merchandise. There are some people that envy
their neighbors and prefer to help kill their town
rather than see their neighbors prosper, tv.
them everywhere. They are not town 1"
all were like them there would be no
are minus that civic pride that goes
a town grow and prosper.
Everybody in Winder should cultivate the commu
nity spirit. We should realize that together we fall
or together we rise. We must co-operate with one
another in order to prosper. We must do our trading
at home, and stand !•& our home enterprises. If
Winder is good enough to live in, it is good enough
to trade in. If you have been trading away from
home, think over the matter, and if you can find what
you want here buy it In Winder. You will be a build
er by so doing. i ;
O
Political Platforms
Do political platforms mean anything? Isn’t It
likely that they are used, as suggested by the negro
porter, just as platforms on the railroad cars are used,
to got in on? After you are in, you don’t need them
any more. After a platform is published, we are
inclined to think that very little attention is paid to it.
In the many campaigns that have occurred in Geor
gia in the past twenty years, platforms have been
published, hundreds of promises have been made to
the “deer peepul,” and the voters have yelled them
selves hoarse and torn their breeches for this candi
date or that one. And not a thing did the candidates
care for the people. All the bombastic oratory, all
the promises, all the loud-soumllng boastings were for
the purpose of getting the office. Will the people ever
learn the truth about polities? Will they come to
(appreciate the quiet, effidkpt, faithful public of
ficial that looks after their interests in a straight
forward way. and treats them as if they were intelli
gent men, rather than simple-minded children that
can he hoodwinked into selling their suffrage for a
mess of meaningless promises?
The day may come, but it is far in the future.
Fuck spoke truly when he exclaimed, “What fools
these mortals be.” \

If some girls were to repeal as much
ability to cook as they reveal personal

If jokes made Ford cars universal
it is a dead certainty that prohibition
ought to become world-wide by similar
reasoning.
Now that the Georgia legislature is

Speaking of Jeremiah’s weeping, how

Some people are so narrow between

only people who believe as they do will
ever get to heaven.

Railroads are now advertising week

After all, the greatest Asset in life

Chosen as the emblem of our country, we have come to look upon
the eagle as emblematical of protection from abroad.
I
The eagle might well be chosen as the emblem of th banking
institutions of our country—they protect not only the individual but the
entire business structure from the depressing effects of scarce
lating medium.
With the credit established by a sound bank a few thousand dol
lars in real cash transacts all the business of a large city;, without the
hank business would stagnate while men counted money in their va-
rious transactions.
