O Winder should not only bo up-to-date but some few paces ahead. O Farmers who moan to win are sowing wheat and onts this fall. O The civic life of any city is no higher than the av erage citizen. O ■What kind of a citizen are you? Are you un asset or a Utility to your city? O No man can be a leader unless he ean find people who are willing to follow. O Remember and vote in the general election next Tuesday, November 7th. _o Some wise guy once said, “Do right and fear no man; write not and fear no woman.” O The farmers of Barrow county are putting in good time these days sowing grain. O With several “murder “mystery” cases on hand the daily newspapers are not short on flare headlines. O A great many people are willing to undergo priva tions if thereby they can thwart their neighbors. O Senator William J. Harris received cordial greet ings last week from liis Winder friends og a visit to this city. O The natural resources of this section of the state are unsurpassed. When properly handled everybody fill be prosperous. O After all. a city is nothing more or less than an aggregation of citizens, some good, some bad, and some indifferent. . .J 1 4 | . O Among the greatest assets a city should have are cleanliness, beauty, enterprise, far-sightedness and a spirit to do greater things. O Barrow county is hard hit this year by the boll weevil, but we will come back next year to the fight with renewed strength. O The News congratulates Col. Lewis C.

O If the state department of agriculture wants to be of real service to the farmers of the state let it get busy on the calcium arsenate proposition for next year and sec that the farmers are able to get It at a reasonable price. O Did your men in the city election win? Whether they did or not, lets forgot about it and get hack of the winners for a better and bigger Winder. After all we are all Americans and citizens of Winder, the best city In the State. 0 A Good Name. THAT a good name is of great value to any one is clearly shown on many occasions. Not long ago we were sitting in the court room when an old negro, who seemed to be seventy-five years of age was being tried upon some liquor charge. Ills prosecutor was a young negro nmn who lmd an unsavory name. The old negro bore a fine reputation in his community as was evidenced by the testimony of several white men. The veracity and reputations of the two negroes were pitted against each other. In such a contest the old negro won out easily and was acquitted. “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,” though the most of our race would prefer otherwise. We’ll Vote For Peach County TAKING into consideration that Georgia has been making new counties for the past fifteen years, we < i e no reason why Peach county should he de feated. The reasons for said new county are just as good as for many others that have been establish ed. Inasmuch as we voted for the creation of Brant ley, Long, Lanier and Seminole counties we can’t bring ourselves to vote against a far better proposition now. There will be no peace in that section until anew county is established. The legislature voted for it by a two-thirds majority, the people of Hous ton county have voted for it by large majorities, and we are in favor of letting them have what they want. O An Average Citizen WHAT is an average citizen? It is one who loves his home, keeps his own yard clean and beautiful, uses every effort for the improvement of his city, ex pects better things in the future for his town, upholds the schools and churches, and never misses an op portunity to speak a good word for his town and sec tion. Are you an average citizen of Winder? O Too Much Politics. The Augusta Chronicle notes that there is complaint in South Carolina,of “too much time given to politics”, and there are those in that state who are asking for relief. One newspaper thinks it is a reflection on the people that they should “consume more time and en ergy in electing a governor and other state officers than many men do in earning a living.” Georgia is down with the same complaint, and, as the Chronicle says, there is a sentiment in the state against too many elections. “Election of state house officers every four years and sessions of the legislature every two years—or four years—have a great many followers on this side of the river,” says our Augusta contemporary. In tiiis connection The News would state than Hon. W. B. Parks, Vepresentative of Terrell county in the legislature, has expressed an intention to introduce at the next session of the general assembly a bill to fix the term of the governor at four years and make him ineligible for re-election. There should and no doubt will be very little opposition to such legislation. Political campaigns, with their wrangles and animos ities, are entirely too frequent in Georgia.—Dawson News. O Do Your Own Thinking THE brain in your head is the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and ed ucation on this earth. That brain is given you that you may DECIDE FOR YOURSELF what is true, what is false, what is im portant and what is unimportant. About one man in a thousand actually uses, in form ing opinions, the thinking power, the power of dis crimination, that is given to him. The other nine hundred and ninety-nine simply go along old, beaten paths. Where others bow low, THEY bow low, where others look scornful, THEY look scornful. Most of us think and act more like sheep than like men. One sheep at the head uses bis pretty feeble brain and the others do what he does. Asa result, we are not ready for new ideas when they come. We art* not ready to recognize real ge nius when it appears. And it is true today, as it was when Emerson wrote, that every man bringing to the world a message worth while is misunderstood because of our stupid rever ence for the past and our dullness to new truths. Pythagoras was misunderstood and Socrates and Jesus and Luther and Corpernicus and Galileo and Newton and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. Don’t let other people form your opinions for you. Don’t accept your opinions ready made like a pair of rubber boots. Men that have succeeded owe their success to the fact that they refused to take difficulties for granted, to take opinions for granted, or to take CONDI TIONS for granted. They determined to decide things for themselves. They found new ways, they found new possibilities, they added their names to the list that have done something. Keep DOUBT in your mind always. We give you below a quotation to paste up. It was supplied by Bolinghroke, a man of wonderful ability, almost a great man—the individual who supplied the pliiloso phieal thought wit.h which Pope seasoned his poetry. He knew enough to appreciate the value of original thought and research; he knew that doubt is essen tial to knowledge, and he put it well. This is what he said: "Doubt is the key of knowledge. He who never doubts never examines. lie who never examines discovers nothing. He who discovers nothing is blind and will remain so.’” As long as you live. DOUBT. Question, deny, veri fy. Re able to say: "I think so, BECAUSE 1 HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I admire him, BECAUSE I HAVE STUDIED HIS LIFE.” “Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you.” “PROVE all things. Hold fast that which is good.” These are two texts for those that may desire Bib lical sanction for man’s chief intellectual quality, DOUBT.. —Atlanta Georgian. ram WINMB NMWS Judge Fish Will Join Mercer College Faculty Chief Justice William 11.
