O The Carnesville Herald says the hoi! weev'l is a blessing in disguise. As for us. we don’t want any disguised blessings in ours. We would like to have them out in the open so we can enjoy them.

We don’t want any man's foot put forward when we land in Commerce. 0 Opposed to Bond Issue. IN discussing ttie promised $70,000,000 bond issue by the Good Roads Association the Cleveland Corn ier says. “The Good Roads Association must be reminded that the jwoplo are absolutely optioned to any kind of Ihiikl issue just now. Before there will ever be voted a road bond issue in Georgia there must Ik* cleared from tin* people's mind that their money is being improperly spent and a thorough houso-chOiling of the many charge's, whether true or not. being brought against the State Highway department. O Large Volume in Bond The records show that the year li>22 was a rec ord one in the bond business. Those who had mon ey put them in bonds. The American public show ed more interest in bond investment than ever be fore. Why was this? Din's it show that the peo ple are more prosperous than ever before? Not at all. It shows that the business interests of this coun try art* not so prosperous. Loans to merchants, far mers ami other business interests are not inviting Investments. The money lenders doubt the ability of these lines of business to make good under pres ent conditios. Again, the men who in tin* past have borrowed money and put it in farms and in building houses, and have established business enterprises, arc o lon ger interested in these lines of endeavor. High taxes have made these investments poor proposi tions. Nobody wants to build houses for rent in Winder or hi any other city in the state of similar size. Winder needs right now 100 medium size house* for those who want to come to this city to work. Recently a splendid enterprise went to Law renceville that was offered to Winder if there had Iven sufficient houses for its laborers. Another en terprise went to Monroe for the same reason. Both preferred to remain in Winder, but there were no bouses for the labor that was m*eded. Efforts have been put forth in this city to got peo ple to build houses, but the line of investment is not attractive. By the time the city, county and state taxes are paid and the insurance, and the house is kept in repair, there is very little left for the own er. Some plan must lie worked out to make our farms and city property more valuuble. Upon these depend the prosperity of our country. Bonds that only bring from 4 to U per cent are far better investments now than city property or garni lands. The Best Kind of Charity. WE would not not detract one iota from the impor tance of the bibbeal injunction. “Bear ye one another’s hardens." But xlr* hfur.c scripture says, “Every man shall bear his own burden.” We have been stressing tin* first injunction to the limit, wtiile Ihe latter, which is the more important, has been ignored by our moral and religious teachers. The greatest of teachers said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." If this is truu then, we have been depriving many of a blessing in the past. Giving is a dangerous tiling. The recipient is often injur ed bv receiving gift to to ■ r < *ci p i c ii that make for suc(x*^B|§||graS9H^^^^^Hßß^Hn I fi I the world u|miii else. too tin* ■ B m B A dry goods merchant was starting down town when his wife reminded him of his most important duty during the day. “Now, my dear, he sure to send to the city for that new radio outfit, so we can have it for Sunday. You know our old victrola Is getting so that it is not tit to be hoard.” And just a few blocks away the merchant who handles victrolas and furniture was sitting at breakfast with ids family. The conversation drift ed around to the approach of school. “And that re minds me, John,” said the lady, who sat at the head of the table, “J must lie going to the city not later than next week. I must get school clothes and see about a fall suit, for myself, and while there per haps I had better see about the new lace curtains for the front window.” An hour or two later a leading grocer stepped into tlie bank to buy a draft, which la* was going to send to a catalogue house for a swell bed-room suit. “How's business?” asked the banker, “Oh, not so very good,” replied the grocer, ’'tilings are dull just now.” Before the banker finished the draft a dapper young man with a grip stepped up and asked how everything was. The banker seemed glad to see him. He was a representative of a big printing es tablishment in another state. He and tin* hanker chatted pleasantly for a few minutes, after which flic young man inquired casually of his friend be hind the window if he wanted anything. “Weil, yea,” replied the banker.” “I believe I do. Print us 5000 drafts, 30,000 deposit, slips and a couple of thousand letterheads.” The young men thanked his friend cordially and hustled out. That night the local business men had a meeting at the town' hall to discuss the growth of the mail order evil. All the gentlemen mentioned in the nar rative delivered short talks. They agreed that the farmers were guilty of treason to their home mer chants when they persisted in buying their goods from mail order houses, and the meeting closed by adopting strong resolutions against trading away from home. —Exchange. O More Taxes Coming-. UNDER the above caption, the Yidalia Ailpance says: “According t<i Governor Hardwick, neither free school books nor increased Confederate pensions nor any of the other proposed additional expenditures by the state will he possible unless tne revenue of the state is increased.” We would ask our good fr'end, Napier, are we uonqielled to have free school books? Are we obliged to increase the Confederate pensions? Is it absolutely necessary that we assume any of the oth er additional expenditures by the state? Did you ever see any individual or any institution that was ever satisfied with what they weire getting? We've heard that old cry of our state institutions being rubied unless they could get more money un til we are tired of it. The great mass of the peo ple are of more value than all our institutions, for without these people we don't need any of our insti tutions. Would there lie anything wrong in try'ng to put as few burdtfc as inissihle upon the great mass of working people, many of whom are not making buckle and tongue meet? O Did You Ever Stop to Think? That with keen business competition prevailing, most business men are prone to increase their bus iness by increased advertising. That they realize that the people owe it to them selves and to their pocket books to read advertise ments. That tin* thrifty people read the advertising col umns because it is a business proposition to do so. That advertised goods are t*est by test, they pro tect tbc buyer. That tin* merchant who builds Iris business by ad vertising. quality and service', is the successful bus iness man of today. That the consistent advertiser always keeps clean, up-to-date stocks. That if he had not lived up to bis advertising and liis business dealings he would not be in business today. That progressive business men are insuring the soundness of their future growth by advertising. That it pays to l*e known as a live business man; they are judged by their advertising.—Financial World. —O The Alpharetta Free Press is quite r’gbt when it says "When you see a young men on the loaf, with no visible means of support, you may expect to hear from him soon.’ THE WINDER NEWS 'miiitiiitiuuiiriihiiiiiiutMiriUH 111 ! cigarettes - ■MaHHMHaaaar a AMERICAN TOBACCO CQ IBf PRESBYTERIAN ( 111 RHI B CALENDAR. school in (.'clock F. <’.
