O 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.” O 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. THE WINDER NEWS MIDWAY LOCALS MRS. Lola Frost spent Tuesday after noon with Mrs. J. W. Lackey, Hr. and Mrs. J. L.
