Did you ever notice that when the city man gets
rich he buys him a home in the country, and when
the country man comes into a fortune lie always
gets him a home in the city?

Says the Cleveland'Courier: “Judge .1. B. Jones
ifc-livcred a charge to the Lumpkin county grandjury
of like nature to the one lie delivered in White county.
These charges are eye-openers to how tin* i>eople”s
mony is being spent. The people will ask the legis
lature to remedy this situation this summer. The
people have a light to tell their employees that they
are not jieiforiiiing their duties as they should.”

County School Superintendents.
THE resolution adopted by the convention of school
officials in Atlanta two weeks ago requesting the
legislature to place the election of county school su
perintendents in the hands of county hoards of edu
cation, was a wise move. This is the tirst time since
the election of these officials was taken out the
hands of the hoard that such a resolution lias passed
tin- convention of school officials. County school su
perlutendents were formerly elected by the hoards
and there is a disposition to return to that plan of
electing these officials.
It is just as wise to elect the superintendent of
our city schools by a vote of the people its it is to
elect our county superintendent in this way. Such
a hill will finally pass the legislature.
O
Superintendent J. P. Cash
THE News regrets the resignation of I’rof. J. I*.
Cash as sujietiuteudeiit of the Winder Public
Schools, lie lias been at the head of our schools for
eight years and the educational interests of Winder
have made rapid growth under his management. Ihe
Wind* r public schools are the equal of any in the
state and the high standing of our schools are due
mainly to the untiring efforts of Prof. Cash, lie goes
to Canton on account of the increase in salary tlial
was offered him. We congratulate the people of that
city in securing him as the head of tliclr school af
fairs. They will have one of the best school men in
the state as their superintendent. Also, they are se
curing a splendid cilir.cn, one that will be interested
in their city along moral ami religious lines. \\ bile
Winder regrets to lose him we arc glad to know that
he goes to another good city, and sincerely trust his
hi rk there may lie pleasant and that those people
will appreciate him as n school man and a citizen.
A Sad Cry.
RECENTLY ;i man was found hunghik from a rafter
in an unoccupied Lou so near East mini, having
committed suicide in this munner. and the following
note was found on liis person : "No homo, no kin, no
money, no friends. Bury me anywhere. 'Hie strain
and struggle are too great. Tile world is too eold.
Cod forgive me.”
Surely a man is an abnormal creature who goes
through this world and accumulates nothing that
makes life worth living. What can we think of a
man who has never made a friend? People who work
in this world can make enough money to supply their
needs. They can accumulate a home and if we de
serve friends we can always have them. This man
evidently through misdeeds of some kind became an
outcast. We cannot get away from that great truth
that the world hack to us the tilings that we
give it. Cood, honest work, a happy smile, a pleas
ant word, these will bring a man friends, money, home,
and happiness. The world is not cruel nor cold. Me
become cruel and cold ourselves and are thus put
out of business. Such a man is indeed to 1*“ pitied.
O
It has come to a pretty pass in this state when
public officials who spend the people’s money cm ami
He criticised without the critic’s having to undergo
the expense of a libel suit.
Too Many Pardons
THE Dawson News, in talking about pardons and
commutations, says that hanging is not as bad
as murder and that a slayer thus disposed of doesn’t
murder anybody else. The Winder News heartily
agrees with our south Georgia contemporary in this
statement. And now comes the Cordele dispatch,
and in discussing the same question, uses the fol
lowing strong words:
“Here’s the truth coming out again. We need
more men in leadership of state affairs who believe
the same way about it. Humanity, the wide world
over, ought to know the difference between mercy and
justice. They ought to know that society sets up a
warning to all who take human life —that the law
exacts a life for a life. They ought to understand
that the individual who takes life does it with a knowl
edge of this standing warning. The murderer fixes his
own noose when he slays. If the sob stuff could he
effaced and the cold fact held up to public gaze it
would help some.”
As the Winder News lias said before, there is no
place in our state affairs for mercy. If we are mer
ciful to the lawbreaker, we are unjust to the public.
The only ground upon which our state affairs can be
conducted is to hand out to every one even-handed
justice. When a man violates the law justice de
mands that he pay for it. Our lawmakers have de
creed the penalty for law violations. Let these pen
alties he meted out to all criminals surely and it
will go a long ways towards clearing our courts of
so much criminal business.
The Best Recommendation.
WE take the following editorial from the Cornelia
Enterprise. It tits Winder just as well as Cor
nelia. This Ihing of co-operation must he thorough
ly learned before there can he any great growth in
any town or city. The only change we make in the
editorial taken from the Enterprise is substituting
Winder for Cornelia:
The best recommendation for any city is the co-oper
ation of the business men one with another. The
business men delight to hear the newspaper and
everyone else urge people* to buy at home and that is
the reasonable, proper and only thing to do. The
man who pays the tax to do Business in your town,
is the man you should support; his money stays at
home, helps to make home Improvements and lie* is
entitled to your ceioperatieui and suppeirt. No man
wants to come* into a city anel invest money, if he feels
that every other man is trying to destroy the business
of his ceimpetitor or that of erne* in some either line.
You cannot build up Winder by sending your business
elsewhere. Every elollar that you send out of town for
something you can ge*t. at home, no matter what the
article, lie*lps to hold back you town that much, and
the* man who sends his money out of teiwn feir some
thing lie* can purchase at lieinie* is disloyal tei his home
town and his own interests. We preach co-operatiou ;
let’s practice it.
Taxes Upon Taxes.
Sol’TH Carolina lias recently passed a law levying
a tax of $2.00 a year upon every person, firm or
eorporatlon doing business in the state. This does
not miss anyone that works, for a support. Besides
this, South Carolina has an income tax. That state
is going some when if comes to taxing her people.
But Georgia is itching to follow her sister state
across the Savannah river. The program for this
summer when the legislature meets is to pass an in
come tax law, increase the tax on gasoline, put a tax
on tobacco products, also on admissions to amuse
ments and toilet articles.
Il seems that most of our men in public life today
are ransacking their brains to find some plan by
which our income can he increased. The main busi
ness of the legislature seems to lie to make appropri
ations. No one seems to think about curtailing our
expenses ami cutting down the appropriations.
The Pnwson News, in discussing the tax problem,
takes a sensible view of the matter, and closes a
splendid editorial in the following words:
“The News repeats that it is opposed to any new
taxes. It believes that the effect of certain of them
would lie disastrous to tile state. It is opposed to any
increase of taxation. The News believes that those
who are proposing new taxes are approaching the
prolit in from the wrong starting point, they arc get
ting the cart before the horse. If they were to de
vote as much energy to curtailing expenditures and to
killing schemes that leach the treasury they would be
doing the state a better service. During the last few
years the various governing bodies of this country
have been engaged in a vast tax raising and tax
spending orgy. The money lias come so easy that pub
lic extravagance lias been encouraged, public expen
ditures have increased at an amazing rate, and public
officials who handle the funds are in danger of losing
their heads. It is time to bring the orgy to an end.
It is time to get our feet on solid ground. Never was
there greater need of prudence and wise spending than
at present.”
O
Winder lias an opportunity now to secure a cream
ery if our farmers will agree to furnish enough nrlk
to keep it running. Sr rely we will not miss this
chance to become independent of the boll weevil.

“Cupboard Bank” is
Found By Thief—
Takes $960.00
“If you pity the pup of Mother Hub
hard, drop a tear for Sarah Fair, negro
woman, of 164 Fort Street. She had
saved up $!>60.00 in a tin cup in tier cup
board and Wednesday morning ii was
gone, she reported to the detectives.
The money, the woman said, had
been sent her in small amounts ly her
husband, who is working in East St.
Louis. When the amount reached
SIOOO she was to have joined him, she
said.
Each week a money order would
come, and the cash would be placed
carefully away in a tin cup in her cup
board. Detectives were assigned to
the case by t'hief Poole.” —Atlanta
Georgian, Sept. 7th.
How often do we read of just such oceurrances? How much bet
ter it would hate been for this woman to have deposited the money
received from her husband In some bank, where would have been
absolutely safe.
It is unsafe to keep your money hidden, for you never know when
someone is going to find it. It is also dangerous to carry it around on
your person. The old saws "Hands up” or your "Money or your life”
are no jokes.
Deposit your money with us and pay it out by cheek. It is safer
and more convenient, you are never bothered about having the exact
change and your cancelled cheek is the best receipt in the world. On
the other hand if you do not need your money for immediate require
ments we will be glad to pay you interest on it; thus it will be earn
ing something foryou.
