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.

JOHN CARRINGTON, JR ®k ItDimkt Mem * and THE BARROW TIMES 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. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, September 28, 1922. RAINEY ESTATE OPENS OFFICE Mrs. Mae F. Rainey amd Geo. N.

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.

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.

STRANGE ( O. 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. YOU MUST REGISTER! City registration hooks are now open and you should avail yourself of the opportunity to register in order to vote in the City primary in November. —L. E. ORIFFETH, City Clerk.

J Herrins Drug Store The Coolest Place in Town Brick Cream at All Times Telephone No. 2. ‘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. Hope On —Mrs. T. B. Strange.

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.

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 (p- removed.
