ANOTHER LARGE
COTTON MILL MAY
COME TO WINDER
Negotiations are in progress for
another large cotton mill for Winder.
A New England company is interested
in the enterprise and are seriously con
sidering this city for the location of
the mill that they intend to build in
this section.
Mr. Jesse M. Jones, industrial agent
for the Seaboard railroad, and who, by
the way, is a good friend of our city,
is interesting himself in the matter
and will assist Winder infiseeuxing the
enterprise.
Anew cotton mill for this city will
mean a large weekly payroll, and these
weekly payrolls spell prosperity.
The prospects of securing this large
mill is fine and we hope to be able to
announce something definite about it
in the next week or so.

FORD AG’CY UNDER
NEW MANAGEMENT
The Winder Motor & Tractor Cos.
has bought the entire stock of the King
Motor Cos., and has taken over the Ford
agency in this city. The Messrs. King
Who have owned an interest in the
business for some time and Mr. It. L.
Rogers, of this city, are the owners of
the business. Mr. It. L. Rogers will
he manager of the business. Their
place of business will remain at its
present location at least until January
Ist, 1923.
Dr. C. B. Mott, who has managed the
business for nearly two years, retires
and goes to Atlanta to practice his pro
fession of denistry. His family will
move to that city shortly.
Mr. Rogers, who will manage the
business, is a well-known business man
of this city. He will push the Ford
and Lincoln ears and Fordson trac
tors in this territory and will keep on
hand Ford parts and maintain a gar
age service as has been done heretofore.
We wish the new company great suc
cess and feel sure that under the effi
cient management of Mr. Rogers it
will succeed.
THE NEW AND OLD
M. E. PREACHERS
Rev. J. M. Tundin, the new Method
ist pastor for Winder, is one of the
strongest preachers in the North Geor
gia conference. He comes to Winder
from Marietta where he has done a
fine work and is held in the highest es
teem by all the citizens of that city, re
gardless of church affiliations. He was
pastor of the Decatur Methodist church
for four years, going to that church
when it was at a low ebb, and by his
fine work and wise efforts made it one
of the strong churches of the confer
ence. The News Joins with our citi
zenry in giving the new pastor and his
family a cordial welcome to our city.
He will arrive next wt*ek and will be
gin his ministry on the Fourth Sunday
morning.
Rev. L. W. Collins preaches his fare
well sermon at this place next Sunday
morning. For two years he has led
the people of his denomination in Win
der and his ministry in our midst has
been one of upllftment and progress
not only to bis own people but to all
our citizenry. We see him leave with
regret. The editor of the News is
glad to claim him ns a close personal
friend, and onr association for two
years has been very pleasant indeed
We feel a personal loss in his removal.
He goes to a fine field, the First olmrch
in Elberton. He will make good in El- j
berton as he has made good in Winder.
His splendid wife has made a host of
friends in Winder that regret to see j
her leave. They can rest assured thnr
they will always receive a cordial wel
come in our city.
More Homes Are
Needed For Winder.
One of the important enterprises of
this city would double its plant if it
could secure homes for its employees.
Winder needs a number of houses that
could be rented at a reasonable price*
to people who could secure employ
ment here in our manufacturing en
terprises. It strikes us that this is a
fine opportunity for someone to invest
money in safe ways and at the same
time help Winder to grow.
Winder has grown wonderfully in
the past, and she is going to grow right
on if our iK'ople will continue to invest
their money in things that will help
the city along.
The enterprise mentioned above is
ready to double its plant, and add SIBOO
weekly to the pay roll of Winder if it
could get houses for its workers to
Live in.
Shall we let this enterprise go to
some other city with its added equip
ment?
Now is the time to believe in Win
der and to pull together for her up
building.

TWO WEEKS IN |
CHATTANOOGA!
W. 11. FAUST.
Several months ago the writer re
wived a cordial invitation from Dr.
T. W. Callaway, pastor of the Baptist
Tabernacle in Chattanooga, asking that
he hold a minting for him during the
Simultaneous Campaign in the city. It
was accepted with pleasure, for the
Tabernacle is the second church in the
city in point of membership, and is
one of the most deeply spiritual bodies
in the country.
Among the Georgians preaching in
the campaign at the same time were
I>r. Bolton of Madison who assisted
Dr. VV. L. Pickard at Central. Dr. De-
Vane of Cedartown, who was with Dr.
U. S. Thomas at St. Elmo. Dr. W. K.
Owen, who was at Highland Park with
Dr. Phillips. Evangelist T. F. Calla
way of Macon, who was with Tallent
at Rossville. Chattanooga believes in
having the Bible read in the schools.
The different preachers spoke at the
schools, Y. M. C. A., factories, shops
and on the streets.
Hundreds united with the churches
during the campaign. While in the city
it was a pleasure to visit Mrs. Smith
1 well known to W r inderites. She and
her family are doing well and prosper-
I ing. Genial Bob Higgins and family
came around and took me for a drive
around the city. Mrs. Shackelford,
formerly Miss Kowena Shedd, was also
among ttie Winderites in Chattanooga.
There are many places of interest in
and around the city. From Atlanta to
Chattanooga is one vast battlefield with
monuments and tablets scattered ev
erywhere.
Chicknmanga Park is wonderful.
Fort Oglethorpe is located there and j
numbers of soldiers are still quartered
there. It was interesting to see the
calvary drills and the polo playing-
In 1863 occurred the buttles that
made famous well known generals. The
Federals had 59,000 men engaged. The
Confederates 55,000 and it is interest
ing to note that 25 per cent of men en
gaged on both sides were killed.
One of the most daring feats of mil
itary history was the storming and
taking of Missionary Ridge by General
Thomas. Another was the famous bat
tle above the clouds by Hooker. Ihe
thing that impresses me though was
the idea that there wasn’t really any
battle above the clouds. The Confed
erates had withdrawn before it devel
oped.
Among the famous Federal generals
engaged were Grant, Rosecrans, Thom
as, Hooker, Sherman, Howard, Garfield,
Sheridan, Wood.
On the Confederate side were Gene.
Forrest, Polk, I). H. Hill, Cleburne,
Hood, Buckner, Bragg, Longstreet and
others.
k jxiokout Mountain with its Incline
railroad is interesting and thrilling, if
| you don’t think so take a ride and
i while going up you will be glad that
i you are a cfiristjan. The National
i cemetery is a plaee of much concern to
| visitors. The soldiers involved in the
I famous “General” runaway who were
killed are buried there and a statue of
the "General” marks their last resting
place.
Missionary Ridge lias some wonder -
. fully interesting views. From Braggs
; tower one gets a fine view of the entire
i city. This is specially fine at night.
Signal Mountain. Moccasin Bend, Cam
erons Heights are superb. I doubt if In
America there is any more beautiful
| views than one sees from Signal Moun
tain. In 1840 Chattanooga’s popula
tion was 500. Today it is 120,000.
Some growth. Sort of like her sister,
.Atlanta.
|. Every moment of the two weeks was
; enjoyed. In fact Chattanooga's hos
pitality is very much like Georgia’s. It
is a great city with a miraculous fu
ture.

Hardwick Says Mrs.
Felton Net Entitled
To Seat in Senate.
Mrs. W. H. Felton, Georgia’s woman
senator, lost her title on the day of
the election of her successor, ami she
will not hi* entitled to sit with the
United States senate when it convenes
next Monday, is the opinion expressed
by Governor Hardwick, by whom she
was appointed.
“I don’t want to hurt Mrs. Felton's
ft*elings,” said the governor, “and I
hesitate to offer her any advice until
she asks me for it. But I will say that
according to the law of the nation amk
of the state of Georgia she hasn’t the
shadow of a title to a seat in the sen
ate.
Whether her successor, Walter K.
George, is declared officially elected
whether he qualifies and is sworn be
fore the senate when it convenes Mon
day is beside the question. Mrs. Fel
ton ceased to hold the title on the day
of the election according to the lavf
i
and there is no way of getting around
it.
WATCH WINDER.
Athens, Ga.—“ Watch Winder.” This
is th<* warning that is going the rounds
in High School circles iu Northeast
Georgia ns the Northeast Georgia Bas
ketball Tournament plans go forward.
Winder fought brilliantly last season
and came very nearly winning the
championship, at the first High School
touraoment ever held in this section.
Sixteen teams will play in February
here for the district championship.
More than sixteen may enter. The
tourney will no doubt be the biggest ev
er staged in Georgia in High School
circles, perhaps in the south.
Whaler will no doubt prove a formid
able foe in next February’s tournament.
