SUBSCRIPTION KATES IN ADVANCE: f ONE YEAR ** Six Months - 75 112 Candler Street Telephone No. 73 Editor John Shannon, of Commerce, says that Tuesday, November 21, was the shortest day in the year. We have always been of the opinion that De cember 21 was the shortest day But ns Editor Shannon is older than we are, we suppose he is cor rect. O We recently received a letter from a propagandist with four cents postage due, which we paid, asking us to publish free of charge about two columns of stuff that nobody is interested in. We arc doing our best, not to let tliis propagandist class ride us but the one mentioned above slipped over one on us to the tune of four cents. O Henry Ford says spend your money freely. We have been doing that very thing buying Ford cars and parts and gasoline and oil, and Ford and the oil com panies have gotten rich while we are still just a leap ahead of the sheriff. O Business Outlook For 1923 BABSON, the statistician, summarizes the business outlook for 1923 as follows: There will !e an increase in the price of commodities for a year or more, then there will be a long pull downward. There will he substantial progress made in the satis factory solution of general labor troubles. The in-, dioat ions jxiiiit to 'fewer strike's in 1923. Babson recommends the cultivation of the retailer in an effort to increase distribution. He recommends as a slogan for 1923: “Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it; plan for more than you can do, (hen do it.” 0 . A Libel On Love THE Savannah Press says: “The number of scandals and murders played up in the news columns in volving the ‘eternal triangle’ and the man and Om an relationship is nauseating.” We agree with the Press heartily. The victim of a murder in the middle west is called a "perfect lover.” The victims in a murder in an eastern town are called the victims in a "love tragedy.” Another man in the west who had any number of illicit relations with women was called the "ideal lover.’” All of this stuff is a libel on "love.” It isn’t love at all. Love Is pure, uplifting It would protect its object. These cases mentioned above means thnt men and women gave way to their baser passions and let these baser passions lure them on to death. There was not one spark of pure, clean, genuine love in it all. O What Is This? TIE Savannah News, in a recent issue, expressed itself as follows about a food product that can be raised in abundance tn this state. "They art' actually selling—advertising ’em in big type in the papers, too —’Canadian rutabagas’ in the Georgiu retail grocery Sturt'S. As if there could not he grown on the soli of half of one Georgia county enough rutabagas to feed the people of two or three states the size of Georgia. And we ship them into Georgia from Canada by the carload.” We have often wondered why Georgians cannot raise this delightful food product and thus keep Georgia money in Georgia. But we haven’t been doing it in the past. If Canadians can grow these turnips and ship them to Georgia at a profit, surely we can grow them in this state and sell them at a profit. We suggest that a few Barrow eounty farmers try their hands with a patch of rutabagas next year. Hardy Bedingfield, a Burrow county farmer, lias raised rutabaga turnips successfully for several seasons, one season making and selling SSOO worth from a small patch less than an acre. - 0 Well, weathelvis one think you can talk about with out running afot\ of some fool listener’s prejudices. \ Merely finding th.* guilty won’t discourage crime. The thing to do is t\flnd them guilty. THANKSGIVING TO-DAY we give thanks. It’s good to give thanks every day, hut to-day our nation is supposed to give thanks We hope the people of Winder and Barrow county will honor this day in a fitting way. We hope we will think over our past lives, the many blessings that have come our way, and that we will render unto the "Giver of every goo<l and perfect gift” the thanks that are due unto Him. There is no finer attribute than gratitude. It shows a noble spirit to he gratiful for aity favors however small. And to manifest gratitude enlarges our natures and makes us ready to receive and properly use greater favors. Hence, the manifestation of gratitude makes for our growth. A proper spirit of thankfulness will call for greater blessings in the future, while ingrat itude means a dwarfing of the liner attributes of our nature. * Men and women of big natures, with whom things always go well, are always of a grateful nature. Grat itude is a part of greatness. It is Godlike. We can greatly improve our natures and thereby improve our condition by lifting our hearts to-day in real thanksgiving unto our God. O Winder Public Schools Winder lias just cause to be proud of her public schools. They are not exceeded by any in the state. In the district contests it has become an old saying all over the Ninth district that the school that wins in the contests must beat Winder. V inder has led in the literary contest for years. And she always stands high in the athletic contests. Last year she was right at the top in the basketball contest in Athens. This year her football team is winning fiine all over this section, beating all comers. The boys are now organizing a basketball team that we aic counting on winning the championship for Northeast Georgia in the tourney which will be held in Athens in the early spring. The superintendent, the principal and all the teachers are thoroughly prepared for their work and they are giving Winder tine service. O A Sad Story OF all the crimes committed in Georgia in recent years, the most horrible as well as the saddest was that committed by Marshal Bass in Laurens county some months ago. He came home drunk on potash liquor, drove his wife with her infant in her arms out of doors, then seized a shot gun, and over taking them in the road, killed his wife while she was trying to protect her infant tints' Editor Brown, of the Cordele Sentinel, recently wrote an editorial on this case and we are reproducing it this week. What a condemnation of the moonshine liquor traffic is this sad case in Laurens county: We’ve noted trag<*ly after tragedy in Laurens county this year and last—the result of moonshine liquor traffic. We do not want to assume that there are no people in Crisp county engaged in this business. We might be advised to keep our own yard clean— but this happens to be a tragedy of particular sad • turn. A young husband went home one night in a drunken stupor^—overloaded with potash poison—took his shotgun, drove his wife and little children into the road and they fled to a neighbor for protection he came after them and fired a load (ft shot into the breast of his life companion, the mother of his chil dren, even as she clung to them in her arms! When that crazed brute came to his senses and hilly ri'aliz ed what he had dome a death sentence stared him in the face. He would have already have stretched his portion of the hangman’s hemp had not Governor Hardwick respited him. Here he is pictured now, after all appeals have been taken in the court and denied —here he is standing over the grave of his old mother, dead from grief and worry, weeping for the first time with his little fellows clinging about his feet—not a soul left in the world to fliom they can look but a murderer father whose days are numbered. We watched the case of Marshal Bass with no lit tle interest. It is (inn* of the saddest in the history of potash moonshine liquor. It has progressed from its stages of poor husband and wife working for the maintenance of happy homes to tfiat of the funeral, the prison, the hangman’s rope. It must mean two little orphans, a mother murdered and a father ex ecuted for it. And all of It due to weakness for potash moonshine liquor—and a consequent moment of crazed fiendishness for a man who would otherwise have been harmless and protecting his wife, his little ones—his home! This thing may be lightly passed by the moonshiner and his customer, it may not hang on the mind of the average citizen very long—but all the same it is n tragedy—the worst that moonshine liquor ever held up to the gaze of an innocent public. How long are men going to pay tribute to such a thing as this— how long are they going to encourage it by buying an using it? o The new government of Italy has one advantage. Black shirts don’t show dirt. O Still, the gnashing of teeth in the hereafter won’t be any novelty for the American gum-ehewer. THE WINDER NEWS A Sacrifice Sale . *< * WE have got to have some money.
