1 (HY C. M. THOMPSON)
ON LAST Sunday morning that clever
ahd efficient taxi-driver, Mr. Wil
lis McDaniel, drove up with Joe Par
ham and asked me to get in. I got hi
and rode around a bit and met Ander
son Sharpton and Sheriff Camp, who
also took seats with us, and we went.
Some laughable remarks were made by
the king of jokers, Willis McDaniel,
lie said something like tins: “We have
h trump card, printer’s devil, printer’s
liar and high sheriff, and what else?”
Our destination was some five or six
miles southwest of Winder. We went
out the Reeves Mill road, passed -places
of historical note, but as this is not a
historical article we will not write
some things. At the end of our jour
ney whjch was the Dillard-Sharpton
cemetery we found quite a crowd had
already arrived, so mo in cars said
some in buggies and drays.
TheC occasion of this assembly was
an annual memorial and home coming
day. There were many nice talks made
and some fine singing. At the noon
hour there was a plentiful .spread,
morie than all could eat, of the dainti
est edibles, such as meats, stews,
steaks, pit's, cakes and custards to
please the most fastidious. Plenty of
ice wafer which was much needed upon
that hot hillside. We noticed among
.the great crowd visitors from Atlanta.
Clarkston, Statham, Campton, Thomp
son's Mill, Bold Springs. Carl and Win
der.
This cemetery is about a quarter of
a mile southeast of the home of the late
Richard Sharpton and this land was
given by him for this purpose. This
land was once owned by William Dil
lard, the fatlilr of Tom Dillard.
More than a hundred years ago, Wil
liam p.llard settled and built a house
near this old cemtery. There was an
Indian trail leading from the Savan
nah to the Chattahoochee river and on
this trail lie built near a good spring.
This man came here when his son.
was but two years old. This
son was born August 15, 1795, and
died March 25, 1884. He married Mil
lie A. Stone, who was born August 20,
1797, and died October 20, 1575. About
the time William Dillaru came here a
man and Ins family while on a limit for
a home, camped at this spring. While
here a child sickened and died and was
buried here. It was the first to be
buried where we know as the Dillard
Sharpton cemetery.
The house tlmt now stands here is a
portion of old Diner church which
stood a half mile northwest of the cem
etery. Omer church was abandoned
when Carter Hill was built, and a part
of the old church is used for burial pur
poses. The grave of William Dillard
is t.heVe, well cared for.
Thirty-odd years ago the writer
taught school a couple of miles north
of this place and he noted the differ
ence tht*n and now of men and manners,
mode of coming and going and improve
ments that have been. made. The
greatest evidence of this improvement
is their care of the place where their
•departed loved ones are lain. If it
was not for this respect towards the
city of the dead Ave would be a close
brother to the heathen.
Now, I am a cross and crabbed old
bachelor, but I saw some pretty girls
over there and 1 am now telling them
of it, and there are some good cooks,
too, for I was pleased with the rich
meats and custards I ate. While stroll
ing I met Mrs. Elizabeth Hardigree,
her son and his wife. This good lady
was a sister of the late Richard Sharp
ton. Others from a distance were I.etus

and so many pretty girls to wait on you
made the day a wonderful success. May

WI-BA-CO CAMP FIRE GIRLS SOJOURNING
IN THE MOUNTAINS, WRITES TO THE
WINDER NEWS SOME DEVILISH DASHES.
Last Wednesday morning a hunch of
six of the livest girls ini Winder, to
gether with Mrs. Paul Roberts and Mr.
Sam Williams, left for a week's camp
at Nacoochee. The weather was threat
ening. but every girl was full of pep
and determination not to let the weath
er dampen their spirits, even if it did
take the wave out of their carefully
curled bobbed locks.
The trip up here in the truck was
great and thoroughly enjoyed by every
one. The roads were a little muddy
In places hut on the whole were excep
tionally good. By three o'clock we
reached our destination and began to
straighoen things out and sun down
found us fixed up in ship-shape fashion
in our camp which is located on the
summit of a young Pike's Peak.
It was a lively bunch that gathered
around the camp fire on our first night
at camp. Everybody Was happy and
feeling good and these red old hills of
North Georgia rang with the voices of
six husky camp fire damsels. Then came
story hour when Motlcer Nee-Lo read
camp tire stories, the kind that im
plants high ideals and leaves vital mes
sage in the hearts of girls in their teen
age.
Then the bells sounded for lights out
and all the girls retired to their bunks
that are built in Pullman fashion and
all three stories high. They are a
least hit hard, hut we just use Chris
tian Science and imngine they are Pull
man’s and soon our train of imagina
tion rolls us on into the land of the
sandman.
We rise every morning at six. No,
that’s not an exageration—we actually
get up at six and begin our day’s
wbrk. Two girls are chosen each day
for K. P. duty and our cooking is not
so bad. It was a wise old bird who
said.
“We can live without learning,
We can live without books,
Butt where Is the man
Who can live without cooks?”
So we are developing into pretty
good chefs as evidenced by the state
ment of Sam Williams that he is going
to give the highest kind of a recom
mendation for the camp fire girls to
all the unmarried members of the male
sex who reside in Winder.
A part of the time every morning is
spent in target practice and some of
the girls are getting to le crack shots.
Then conies the hour for swimming
when a good time is had in the famous
old Chattahoochee. Then dinner and
quiet hour and some more swimming
and supper.

from home and o hang around and get

derfully nice to us and seem to enjoy
our visit amongst them.
On Friday Mr. George Walker and
family from Gainesville spent the day
with us, and showed us a rippin’ time
Their visit was enjoyed by all.
To-day is Sunday and we have ex
perienced the thrill of seeing some peo
ple from home and having them spend
the day with us. We had Sunday
school this morning, for the 'religious
part of a camp fire girls life is of the
greatest significance.
We expect to leave here tomorrow
and go to Camp Hec where we will re
main until Wednesday at noon when
we will leave for home and expect to
reach the metropolis of Barrow in time
for a good hot supper.
All of ns have had the time of our
young lives and it is with deep regret
that we near the end. But the memories
of this week spent at the foot of Yo

But before bringing this article to n

just couldn't have done without him—
that's all. He's a splendid driver, a

CAN MAKE COTTON
UNDER WEEVILCON
DITIONS, IS PROVEN
The Shiftless Fanner, Though, Will
Have A Hard Time Making A
Living Farming.
The farmers of Harrow county can
make cotton under boll weevil condi
tions. This is being proven by farmers
throughout the county this year. Last
Tuesday in company with Messrs. A.
A. Camp, J. T. Strange, Obe Smith and
R. L. Woodruff, we went down to a
farm of Mr. Woodruff several miles be
low town and found a field of splendid
'cotton that lias a fine crop of- bolls on
it and no boll weevils. Mr. Woodruff
has made this crop of cotton by the
intelligent use of calcium arsenate.
We can make just as much cotton per
acre as we have ever done if we will
go at it in the right way. It is true
that we cannot handle as much cotton
per plow under boll weevil conditions
but we can make just us much per
acre. v
The boll weevil is going to keep the
price of cotton up in the future, and
now is the time when the hustling far
mer is going to make money. He will
prepare his land well, fertilize it high
ly, keep the weevils off of it and get a
fine price for what he grows. The shift
less fellow is going to have a hard
time to make a living farming. The
boll weevil will put him out of bus
iness..
We ought to begin to make arrange
ments irlght now about growing our
next year’s eotton erop. Every far
mer ought to investigate thoroughly
the various plans of killing the wee
vils, and when he plants next year ar
range to fight the weevil from the very
b<‘ginning.
There is going to be money made far
ming, b<*eause farm products will al
ways l>e in demand, and cotton will
bring a good price, but we must work
us never before.
A visit to Mr. Woodruff’s farm will
convince anyone that we can make fine
crops of cotton in this county if we
will go at it in dead earnest.
The Winder News would like to hear
from the farmers of the county as to
how they have fought the weevil suc
cessfully this year. We want to see
our farmers thoroughly organized for
next year so that we can successfully
combat the weevil.
Mr. Cliff DeEaPerriere has returned
from an extended trip to Europe. lie

ever want anything done just call on
the camp fires. We are always ready

Vacuum Cotton Picker
To Be Shown in Atlanta
Methods of ginning, baling and

The local Ford .representative, Mr.
C. B. Mott, has just received word from
(the Ford Motor Company in Atlanta
that a vacuum cotton picking machine
will be one of thb interesting exhibits
)it the Southeastern Fordson Industrial
Tractor Show to be held from August
29th to 31st inclusive.
' Many mechanical pickers and har
vesters have appeared from time to

1 This machine according to Mr. Mott
sucks the cotton free from the boll in
stead of tearing it free. Large nozzles
or funnels are fastened on the ends of
7<ig hose. These are connected to the
machine in which is installed a power
ful suction fan.
1 The nozzles or funnels are lowered
over the cotton plant and the suction
draws the cotton free and deposits it
jn a twig.
In the process much of the seed, is
extracted also.
This machine derives its power en
tirely from the Fordson Tractor. Mr.
