the Winder News. He Aipported these
resolutions in a splendid speech. He
was followed by R. L. Woodruff. Geo.
W. Woodruff, It. L. Rogers, Geo. N.
Bagwell, G. D. Ross and others.
After Col. Quarterman’n resolu

Aides was present during the meeting*

After the passage of tlw Thompson!

The following is the resolutions that
were alopted introduced by I). F.
Thompson, who in discussing the ques
tion admitted that he was a member
of the clan, which admission was
heartily cheered by the audience.
“Whereas, it has been, heralded a
broad to the four corners of the earth *
that Barrow dounty and the lity of
Wilder are the habitators of the
with a disregard for law’ and order
and : Whereas, it has also been stated
in the press through the inspiration
of a few citizens of Winder that a
of lawlessness and almost of open
anarchy prevails in this section and
Whereas, the only foundation or basis
for any such statements even as
claimed and contended for by the a
foresaid citizens is that a band of sup
posed clansmen made a parade thru
the streets of Winder on a night re
cently ;
NO SIGN OF
DISORDER
“Whereas it is not contended that
any disorder occurred on that occas
ion, but only tliat the parade was halt
ed at certain points in the public
streets of the city and: Whereas, it
lias been broadcasted in the papers
of the state that the lives of certain
citizens of Winder have been threaten,
ed “Whereas it is known to all of the
citizens of Winder that there is no dis
order here or in this section of the
state jor any evidences of any threats
ovO. any violence towards any citi
zen of this city or county;
“Whereas, it is manifest from the
'demeanor of our people that nothing
is further from the truth than the
published reports of the situation hqre
and that the county and city have been
greatly maligned and slandered and
the people of these sections humiliat
ed and the prosperity of the county
hampered by these false reports in
the press: “Whereas, the truth of the
matter is that all of these reports of
disorder and of lawlessness are abso
lutely without foundation and are in
every way false; "Whereas, the dis
orders in this community and section
are such as may be expected ami are
happening hi all of the state and are
not in any manner accentuated here
or beyond the normal violations of law
that occur in all communities;
“Therefore, be it resolved by the cit-/
teens in mass meeting assembled as
follows:
CONDEMN
REPORTS
‘>l That we condemn these publish
ed reports as being false and a slan_
der upon our people and county and
state and as being Injurious to the
public welfare in every way and as be
ing derogatory to the high type of cit
izens that have made this section
great .
“2 That wc denounce as being un
true the reports in the press to the ef
fect that life is unsafe here or that
property rights are fully protected by
the enforcement of laws to protect both
life and property.
“3 That, we as a community
pledge ourselves to the enforcement of

“THE OTHER MAN”
(Dedicated to the unpleasant notriety,
and publicity that has gone from Win
der and Barrow county through the
daily press for the last few days.
Here's hoping that we will never
have the like again, but apply the Gol
den Rule, brought out in the follow
ing lines:
“THE OTHER MAN.”
Perhaps he sometimes slipped a bit—
Well, so have you.
Perhaps some things he ought to quit,
Well, so should you.
Perhaps he may have faltered—why?
Why, all men do and so have I,
You must admit, unless you lie,
That so have you.
Perhaps if we would stop and think,
Both I and you,
When painting someone black as ink,
As some folks do.
Perhaps, if we would recollect,
Perfection we would not expect.
But just a man half-way correct,
Like me and you.
I'm just a man who’s fairly good,
I'm just like you.
I've done some things I never should,
Perhaps like you,
But, thank the Lord, I’ve sense to see,
The rest of men with charity;
They’re good enough if good as me—
Say, men like you.

7:30 will consist mainly of Christmas
carols —the junior choir will sing. The
pastor will give brief addre-s.
There will he an offering through
the Sunday school and the church ser
vices. morning and evening for the
maintenance of the charity woik of
the new Wesley Memorial hospital.
Every Methodist church in Georgia is
to be askel to make this a Christmas
•of “White Gifts,” nothing could be
(more fitting than this. There is no
more complete hospital south of Johns

GETS SILVERWARE
A large crowd gathered at Smith

they gave away another of their beau

At this drawing Mrs. 11. O. Camp

lucky number, which was 14752.
Immediately after the drawing Smith
Hardware Cos. staged one of the big
gest Aluminumware sales ever pulled
off in Winder.
We undestand they nre making spe
cial offers again this week, both Fri
day and Saturday.
Smith Hadware Cos. will give away
their last set of Silverware next Satur
day afternoon at 3:30 ns advertised,
so he on hand Saturday morning,
shop early and you may bo the lucky
one.
Bravely Facing
Eastward.
For a little over four weeks up to
the twelfth of this month, I mingled
'freely among the people in and around
I the towns along the Northeastern Rail
jroad from Athens to Lula; the South
ern from Lula to Toceoa; the Elberton
| Airline from Elberton to Hartwell and
| Elberton, and the Seaboard railroad
| from Elberton to Colbert—-thence
home to Winder.
Not once did I hear the word panic.
I did hear the word depression used
often, and boll weevil used
much oftener. The •general talk is,
that though there is no panic, some
thing has either rightly or wrongly—
temporarily at least —destroyed confi
dence of man in nmn or his abilities
and circumstances, and, at least tem
porarily, from up the channels of cir
arulation. They ull say that there is
money in plenty, but are wondering
how they are to pay for it and get it
out of its hiding place.
I’ve not seen so much wheat sowed,
since coming to Georgia in 1892, as is
, being sowed throughout Northeast Ga.
wherever I went. More narly cvery
| body has one or more fat, fine-looking
! blooded hogs in the pen than I have
j ever seen since the days of the old
fashioned acorn-fed “razor back”. Al
most every family has one or more
I flush milk cows. Most have plentiful
| grain and hay crops, fruits, potatoes,
other vegetables, chitkehs or turkeys,
etc.
More of these people than ever, it
seems, are talking more than ever
about the first economic essential, viz:
making a living and of money only
as a needful, incidental or by product
a surplus crop, if you please. Ibis,
I lielieve, is becoming more and more
the economic conviction throughout the
lan< j—especially with all those- who are
bh-ssed with the proud distinction and
advantage of being producers. I-and,
-they are coming to think, is a blessing
from God to make a living on rather
than money on. primarily, as all too
many have in the last two generations
been thinking. Many now think that
a living is cheap enough if you pro
duce it, hut almost prohibitively too
dear if you buy it with the proceeds of
another crop which costs you all your
lalmr and time to produce, which can
never be stabilized in price, while you
must pav two or three middle men to
carry it to town, sell it a few times
there, and then deliver it back toy our
farm kitchen or bam rack.
They are thinking, it begins to seem,
tliat the one main obligation and busi
ness of the lafwl-owning or the rent
ing producer is, to make a living, and
a surplus for the non-producer; that
the only true business of the non-pro
ducer is, to make dollars and cents suf
ficient to buy his living from the pro
ducer of a living, atal have enough
left in cash to pay for his necessary
incidentals; and that land monopoly
'and commercializing of the soil as a
mere article of trade, are blocks in
the way of true human progress, fi
nancially hurtful, first or las,t to both
owner and tiller of these lands. It be
comes more and more the genera I con
viction that money-making ns such, be
longs to the realm of commerce; while
living-making ns sueh, belongs to the
realm of production; and these two
realms can and must swap the results
of their respective lalmrs.
With the exception of two or three
places and a few individuals, these
people, while recognizing the depres
sion. are facing tin- East with hope and
optimism.
