MR. CARITHERS NOT
IN MAYOR’S RACE
1
WHITES CARD TO THE VOTERS OF
* WINDER.
Some days ago some of m.v good per
sonal friends came to see me and in
sisted that I make the race for Mayor
in the approaching primary and that
my name be announced for that high
office. I did not give my consent to
these requests on account of personal
matters and for the further reason that
I have never had a desire far public
office tinker circumstance that
would mtSe it imperative far the gen
eral good and for the serviie that
might be rendered in the office.
During last Thursday I was out of
the city and these partial and sincere
friends announced me for Mayor on a
platform that meets my high approval.
There 's to my mind nothing that so
concerns the people al large, whether
In the State or Nation or in the sub
divisions thereof, as does the subject
of taxation. The platform in the card
given out by my friends was in line
with my views but I can not give my
consent to make the race and in justice
to my own affairs and to those with
whose interests I am entrusted 1 must,
in spite of the appreciated desires of
my friends that-I permit the use of
my name, decline to entiT the race
and I hereby withdraw m.v name from
Consideration for the office of mayor.
These good friends who announced me
have my sincere thanks and best wishes
and I may at some other date yield to
their desires, but at present I can not
do so. Very Respt.,
H..A. CARITHERS
ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for councilman from the Fourth Ward
subject to November primary, iff elect
ed I pledge the city my beat efforts.
Your vote and influence will Ire appre
ciated.

FAIRS IN GEORGIA
ARE WORTH WHILE
The Progressive Farmer, a Southern
publication, genuinely and intelligently
interested in promoting the material
welfare of the agricultural population
of the South, believes in the real worth
whileness of community fairs —and so
does the Atlanta Georgian.
In commenting editorially upon this
matter recently, The Progressive Far
mer said:
“Every neighborhood should have a
community fair. This is one of the
greatest agencies for stimulating
friendly rivalry in all good work. In
this way the biggest achievement of in
dividuals are brought to the attention
of all the people. Moreover, the train
ing in co-operation and public service
that the people get in developing a
community fair prepares them for pro
gressive co-operation along many oth
er useful linos. Farmers who have
made a success of a community fair ac
quire anew pride in themselves and
their locality. 1 ”
Unquestionably, every word of this
is true and worthy or serious cosider
ation.
These community fairs relatively
small though fbev may he serve a tine
I 'cal purpose. Not only do they bring
the people of a community together in
fri ndlv. social intercourse, hut they
serve as well as a sort of clearing
house or exchange for ideas between
citizens: and that can not fail to pro
duce constructive results.
What a fine thing it would be if in
every county in Georgia—and there
are 100 —there might be held a real
county or community fair this fall. The
Georgian can think of no ONE thing
that would do more real good, in more
different directions, than that.
Wha£ is a neighborhood or a com
munity? Tlic terms arc entirely rel
ative.
We have a neighborhood of people,
a neighborhood of counties, a neigh
borhood of states, a neighborhood of
nations. —Atlanta Georgian.
Dr. A. R. Moore Dead.
Dr. A. R. Moore, one of the leading
ministers of the Christian church in
the state, and last year president of
Southeastern Christian College, was
found dead in his bed at his home in
Atlanta last Friday morning.
Dr. Moore was 57 years of age and
at the time of his* death was a member
of the faculty of the Atlanta Theologi
cal Seminary. The death of Dr. Moore
was discovered about 9 o’clock Friday
morning by his son who is chaplain of
the national guard of the state of
Georgia. Mr. Moore awoke about that
time, and called his father, who w<•
in the same room. Failing to receive
an answer, Mr. Moore investigated, j
and found bis father dead. He had
died peacefully sometime during the
night.
Dr. Moore was an outstanding figure
in his church and had been located at
Birmingham, Ala.. Savannah, Ga aud
other points.
SOME FINE CORN.
Mr. N. T. Simmons, who lives out on
Route 1 from Winder, near Stathnm.
brought to our office Wednesday several
stalks of fine corn. Two of the stalks
had three good ears on them while the
third, a small stalk that grew on a
terrace and was not cultivated, had
two good ears of corn on it. Mr. Sim
mons calls it “The Poor Man’s Corn.”
amd it ought to suit everybody.

FORD‘S WEALTH IS
NOW 400 MUONS
i
THE Henry Ford family now is worth
worth more than,* $400,000,000, ac
credit experts in Wall Street.
One expert predicts that Ford’s in
come this year will reach the enormous
figure of $75,000,000.
On the basis of these figures. John
D. Rochefeller probably still is the
World’s richest man. There has been
much speculation over the possibility
that Ford may be richer than John D.
Less than 20 years ago, Ford’s for
tune was certainly less than $20,000.
Ford has made his money faster
than any super-rich man who ever liv
ed.
Some will call it luck. But any other
man could have done the same —if in*
had bad Ford's invontife genius, his
organizing and productive ability and
his power to see into the future and
grasp the possibilities of cheap autos.
Ford’s genius is not available to all,
by any means.
But the economic system that has en
abled him to cash in on his abilities is
open to all.
There are just as big opportunities
today, for men who can see them, as
when Ford was toiling in his little bi
cycle repair shop years ago. Only
American offers such gigantic opportu
nities. —Exchange.
BARROW SUPERIOR
COURT IN SESSION
;
Barrow Superior Court convened on
last Monday morning with Judge
Blanton Fortson presiding, and Solicitor
W. O. Dean present. Judge Fortsoi.’s
charge to the grand jury was un
usually strong and he called upon the
grand jury to investigate thoroughly
! the recent unlawful acts that have oc
curred in this county. We publish that
part of Judge Fortson's charge iu this
issue of the Winder News, and have
made comments on same in .the edito
rial columns of this paper.
The grand jury was organized by the
election of Mr. R. L. Woodruff as fore
man, and Robt. J. Smith, clerk. Mr.
G. B. Mathews is the baiilff for the
grandjury.
The other bailiffs selected to aid Sher
iff H. O. Camp during the court ar
il. P. Feagan, C. E. McDonald. Jim
Lackey and George Daltoi. The 'jit ter
is assisting the solicitor general
The court has been engaged in civil ,
cases this week. The only case of any j
Importance that has been concluded up
to Wednesday night was Paul Johnson
vs Seaboard railroad. He was suing f >r
$15,000. The jury rendered a verdict
for $750.00.

The great sale that is now going on
at this great department store is be
ing crowded daily with customers who
are taking advantage of this splendid
opportunity to get some of the bargains
that they are offering. Their great stock
of dry goods is being put on the mar
J<et and the public realizes that they
are getting bargains that are bargains.
Your money will go a long ways in
this store for they are selling goods
at astoundingly low prices. Suppose
you drop in and see. if you have not
already done so.
THE REAL OBJECT OF A FAIR.
THE distinctive object of a fair is instruction. Fairs cannot
and should not neglect other matters —recreation, revelry
relaxation make for good fellowship and have readier appeal;
co-operative activities of many kinds that grow out of a fair and
the friendly rivalry promote social development. The entire in
fluence of a fair through personal contact and routine mukes for
the development of character.
A really good fair creates permanent interest, leads to effort,
arouses the desire to learn to read, experiment, think, inquire,
boost; it should impart knowledge but it should not leave the
individual satisfied with what is learned or with the records made.
The things that make up a fair, those that tend to help us in
terpret life around us, are subjects that enable us to understand
ourselves, that show us, just like a good school, the run of men
and tilings and thought, makes us at home in it, and gives us a
perspective for the formation of purpose's and the guidance of
will. Subjects must be employed with the primary aim of lead
ing to command over the instruments and methods of our activ
ities, to reveal and interpret the ideas and work of others. Thus
we expend.
If the North Georgia Fair at Winder can give to many of its
patrons a self-sustaining interest in a few of the endeavors and
enterprises that surround us and ageneral respect for learning,
it will establish its claim to he called a good fair. Buildings, recre
ation places, cordiality of atmosphere must he matched by ex
cellence of visualized instruction in the exhibits before our fair
can be considered as meeting Jhe issues for which fairs are in*
tended. yvk,* '
SENATOR THOMAS E. WATSON DEAD;
BODY WILL BE BROUGHT HOME TODAY
WAS A GREAT MAN.—UNEXCELL
ED AS AN AUTHOR, STATES
MAN AND A LEADER.
SENATOR THOMAS E. WATSON, the
most prominent and picturesque fig
ure that has ever appeared in Georgia
politics, died at his residence in Chevy
Chase, Md„ just across the border
from Washington City, at 2.40 o’clock
Tuesday morning from “respiratory pa
ralysis” occasioned by an attack of as
thma.
No member of his family was with
him at the end. He attended only by
his physicians, a nurse and his person
al secretary.
Senator Watson was taken with an
acute asthmatic coughing spell about
8:00 o’clock Monday night. He lost
consciousness about 8:45 o’clock and
never again regained his senses.
He was about his residence and office
nil day Monday making arrangements
to leave Tuesday morning for a vaca
tion and rest at his home in Thomson.
Mrs. Watson, wife of the senator,
had I wen at her home in Thomson for
some time on account of illness and
was not present at the bedside of her
husband when the end came.
The body left Washington at 3:15
Wednesday afternoon and will reach
Thomson today (Thursday) by wav of
Augusta. Two private cars are bear
ing the dead statesman to his home. In
the one, surrounded by his family and
friends, the caisson will be; in the oth
er his erstwhile associates in the sen
ate. and members of tin 1 house, will
ride in silent tribute to a departed col
league.
The funeral will occur Thursday af
ternoon at 1:00 o'clock. Dr. E. J. For
ester, pastor of the Sparta Baptist
church, and a former jiastor of Sena
tor Watson, and a life-long intimate
friend, will preach the funeral.
An honorary escort composed of sen
ators and representatives wijl accom
pany the remains to Thomson.
| For nearly forty years Mr. Watson
was the leader of a distinctive group of
Georgia citizens. No state has ever
produced Just such a citizen and no
state ever will. His death brings gen
uine sorrow to the hearts of Georgians.
While many differed with him in poli
tics yet all admitted his genius. He
was a great man. He was not excelled
as an author, a statesman and a lend
er.
We doubt if Georgia will ever pro
duce just such a man. We know of no
one who can take up his work and lead
his followers.

‘MICROBE OF LOVE’
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
BEAUTIFUL CHORUS GIRLS WITH
A LIVELY STEP ADDED UNTOLD
CHARM TO SUCCESS OF PLAY.
LAST Friday night, one of the most
enjoyable entertainments that has
ever been given in our city was pulled
off at the school auditorium, when the
Wayne P. Sewell Lyceum and Produc
ing Cos. presented “The Miorohe of
Love,” a play in three acts. The enter
tainment was directed by Miss Thelma
Richardson, and given under the au-
spices of the Young Matrons Federated
Club. Miss Richardson took the part
of Madam Hymen Cupid and she ren
dered her part faultlessly. She was
supported by local talent that would
do credit anywhere. The spinsters were
as follows:
Priscilla Prunes—Miss Frank Wo
mack.
Sophia Swectgum—Miss Margaret
McWhorter.
Lovie Long—Miss Margaret Russell.
Arabella Antique—Miss Mabel Jack
son.
Soman thy Loving—Miss Sybil MilL
saps.
Wants Mrtn—Miss Hogood.
Inin Fraud —Miss Gyp Bedingfleld. r
Lillie Lonesome —Miss Gertrude Rog
ers.

Prudence Allbright— Miss Craden
hend.
Every one was thoroughly uptodate
and the large audience was kept laugh
ing continuously. >
In (he “Left Over Club,” Mrs. Bon
durant as “Piney Melting Heart,” was
superb, and she together with Miss
Margaret Russell, was paid a high
compliment by the Atlanta Journal cor
respondent, whose article we publish
elsewhere in ihis issue. Mrs. Pratt as
Tillie Comes, Mrs. Radford, as Ever
Ready, Miss Dot Roland, as Mrs. Jer
eminh Henpeck were inimitable in
their parts and kept the audience roar
ing.
The bachelors were represented by
Dick Russell. Joe Parham, June Jack
son. Howard Rogers, Harris Mayo,
Charles Dunn, Julian Ross, Shannon
Smith, while Henry Hill represented
Joi'omiah Henpeck. All the boys were
well-nigh perfect in their casts.
Miss Sunie Johns and Nannclle Starr
rendered delightfully the part of “Old-
Fashioned Girls.” ,i
Miss Ora Lee Camp charmingly sang
a solo that delighted the audience.
The two Japanese girls were Misscs
Alice Eugenia Dunn and Helen Mc-
Whorter.
The chorus girls were Misses Letha
Cooper, Mabel Herrin, Eurania Hayes,
Frances Hubbard, Marguerite White,
Margaret Walker, Willie Mjic Autry,
and Julia Thomas. These added un
told charm to the play with their steps,
catchy songs which tingled in one’s ears
long after the play was over.
A groat audience was present and all
enjoyed the entertainment thoroughly.
THE UNFAIR CRITI
CISM OF BARROW CO
During the past few months a few
acts of lawlessness coupled with va
rious agitated reports have cause*;
much uncalled for criticism of Harrow
county and her citizens. Perhaps iu
some instances these reports were well
founded as it is impossible for one to
say the least of it matters are had
enough without making them any
•worse by exaggerated and overdrawn
statements relative to (lie acts f oi r
people.
This immediate vicinity is populated
with as good, law-abiding and up-*
right people as any place under the'
canopy of God's heaven. If we thought,
otherwise we would be ready to go tot
the place where the best people are.
Further that may he supplemented by
saying that if a few of these fault
finders, witl) nothing to do except to
spend their time in searching for oth
er's sins were expatiated from our
midst the greatest of all faults would

Now. we have all seen some genuine
jabbering jackass stand on the street
and argue about some public error un
til his eyes were at dagger’s points
and his face scarlet red, when at the
very time ids argument was based up
on some illusionary, hypothetical vis
