Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, June 14, 1923 ARNOLD WILL URGE GEORGIA TOREPEAL HER BONE DRY LAW A bill to repeal the act of the extra ■ session of 1016 known as the Georgia bone-dry prohibition law, will be ititr >- dueed in tlx next legislature by Dr. Craig R Arnold, representative of Lumpkin county according to an an nouncement made Monday by Dr. Ar nold. “I believe that a number of states will repeal the bone-dry law this year” Dr Arnold said. “As far as Georgia is concerned, it is not only super ifiuous that the state statute and Vol stead federal act. should be in force, but the existence of the two makes for a conflict of authority, and entails an unnecessary expense upon the state, since the federal government lias as sumed the burden of prohibition/en forcemt nt. I “There are a good many features of the Georgia law which, personally, I ! 1 vlieve to be iniquitous, but wholly aside from that view, when it is re pealed, as I believe it will be. we will still have with us the federal Volstead I act, which gives the United States en forcement department full and com plete authority to enforce federal pro hibition. When that federal amend ment was proposed to the Georgia leg islature 1 made a speech on the subject in which I registered my objection to tlie gradual obliteration of states' ighfs and the concentration of gov ernmental power in Washington, but the amendment has been ratified, is a federal law, we are living under it, and the incidental duplication of au thority in this state, at least, has al lready lead to confusion, a bewilder ment of legal authority and has made | possible conditions and actions which jmay 'Jerome seriously dangerous. “It is my purpose to offer a repeal bill in the approaching session of the j legislature for no other reason than because I believe it to be the right thing to do, and in the interest of clarifying! a rapidly muddling condition of af-l fairs.” BARACA CLASS M. E. CHURCH . The members of the Baraca Class of the Methodist eliufch who failed to at tend Sunday school last Sunday miss ed a lesson of great encouragement to those who heard it, and that would have served as a stimulus during these dark times. • The lesson was about Nehemiah, a man who did things in the face of adversity, and was ably presented by Mrs. McCurry in her own inimitable style. Mrs. McCurry drew a wonderful analogy between the con- ditions that surrounded the people of Jerusalem at the time of Xehemiah and conditions as they exist at the present, and showed conclusively that a combi nation of faith, prayer and hard work is the tonic needed to recall the days of prosperity, and that it will waken our people from their listlessness and he just as efficacious a restorative now as it was in ancient times when Xehe miah, in spite of the discouragement and knocking of pessimists, dispelled the spectre of despair that hovered ov er the people of Israel, and by his faith and courage rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. In addition to the power of its spir itual charm this lesson as explained by Mrs. McCnrr.v had an invigorating ef fect on tlie minds of t he class, and caused them all to look to the future with a feeling that with co-operation and faith, and with the aid of the Ob nipote.nt One, tlie problems confronting us today can he satisfactorily solved. members of this class who are not attending regularly’are missing lec tures of great spiritual and education benefit that will prove of great value to them and a full attendance next Sunday is urged. While the attend ance has been good in the past there is always room for improvement and when you are not present not only are you missed hut you miss a masterful exposition of a Biblical lesson. , The attention of every member is directed to the fact that next Sunday. June 17th. is Father’s Day. Be sure to 1 attend and Bring someone with you. 1 as we want to have one hundred and fifty present. Our c(ass isr steadily growing and such members as do not: j attend regularly are missing lessons of great spiritual and educational ben efit. We want you every Sunday and he certain not to forget Fathers Day. Come next Sunday and bring Dad with you. Fathers bring your boys Class Reporter.

To-day and Tomorrow Are the Hates For This Super Special Picture. Today and tomorrow, Thursday and Friday of this week, the Strand The ater offers the great super-special pic ture “The Queen of Sheba” at a very low admission price. This picture us ually shows for a dollar, but the Strand is putting it on for 15 and 30e. This is truly a wonderful picture, dealing with the history of the Hebrews and magnificence and granduer of the an cient. palaces, temples, of King Solomon and) will give one an insight into the granduer and luxuries of the times three thousand years ago. Coming soon is the Old Nest, the pic ture that everybody wants to see. Watch for the dates HON. JAS. A. PERRY ANSWERS CHARGES Commissioner James A. Perry, of the Georgia public service commission, has written an interesting and some what sensational letter to the Walton Tribune concerning the new schedule of state freight rates which went into effect by order of the commission oil May Ist. Monroe was enjoying a rate much lower than other towns in this section and Mr. Perry’s card shows that Mon roe was nut on a basis with her neigh bors. We see nothing in this for Editor Camp to complain about. Mr. Perry points out that prior to May 1, Monroe enjoyed freight rates which, in comparison with other points in contiguous'or competitive territory, constituted an unfair preference. He cites figures to show that the rate from Atlanta to Monroe, a distance of 61 miles, was formerly 47 cents, on first class freight, while the rate for the same classification from Atlanta to Bo gart, a distance of 63 miles, was 62 cents; from Atlanta to Gainesville, a distance of 53 miles, was 56% cents; from Atlanta to Winder, a distance of 51 miles, was 53 cents; from Atlanta to Loganville, a distance of 44 miles, was 50% cents; and from Atlanta to Lawrenceville a distance of 34 miles, was 47 cents. Under anew rate scale, which went iinto effect May 1, the rate for these same hauls, for first class freight, are given as follows: Atlanta to Monroe. 61 miles, 60 cents: Atlanta to Bogart, 63 miles,l 60 cents; Atlanta to Gainesville, 53 miles, 56 cents; Atlanta to Winder, 51 miles, 56 cents; Atlanta to Logan ville, 44 miles. 51 cents. Atlanta to Lawrenceville, 3,4 miles, 45 cents. WINDERS NEW j FIRE ENGINE. Winder’s new fire engine came in last Friday.

MACON‘S GREAT CLOUDBURST Macon suffered great damage Sun day from a territlic cloudburst. Dur ing the storm which continued with out a break for nearly three hours, 6.71 inches of rain fell, breaking all rT |ords for that city. - Rough estimates place the damage at not less than SIOO,- ttftft. | I Basements of several business hous es were flooded and stocks stored there , were practically ruined. One house Giles street was undermined and I nine persons were rescued by the tire men from tlie tottering dwelling. Two ink* 11 in an automobile were caught in am underpass and had to Wade out in water up to their necks. Sunday night hundreds of negroes in the lowlands sections stood around j their homes which had Heein wrecked, [looking for shelter and some place to [keep the articles they had salvaged. Within a few minutes after the | cloudburst broke s- wers nt I lie <•' were overloaded and water on many streets was several reel deep. E. K. Horn, head of the family res cued, said that when he looked across ( the street during the storm lie saw wa ter sweeping down Gilead street up above the floors of tlie porches on res denees. Rices Dam broke during the after noon, carrying away the water wheel and carrying everything below' with it. Thousands of chickens were drown [ed, according to information reaching [the city from the country. C. A. Haiti.* j who operates a poultry farm not far | from Rices Mill, was the heaviest los er. He reported that 1 .GOO pure bred Leghorns wt re drowned. Central of Georgia trains on the Southwestern Division were stalled because of a washout near the city. WHO DID THIS? Some good friend of the News came into our office Saturday at noon while the editor was at dinner, and left $1.50 and also the following note: “Some claim that to get by is all there is in life. However, l think different. Please continue Winder News to me, Bethle hem, Route 1. Am leaving $1.50 on desk.” This good friend did not sign his name, and we are at a loss as to whom we should give credit for the money. We hope he will see this notice and let us know his name. We thank him heartily for his good deed and always like to know the twti..' of such a bene factor. CARD OF THANKS We wish to tlmnk our many friends it* Winder for their kindness to us on account of the death of our brother Our hearts go out to all who so kindly helped us in our sorrow.

We inquired of Bill what he was up to. Bill said: “Just cum to meeting—going up to the Meth dist church today; hut I go to all of them, as a man in my sta tion has to do. Am thinking of of fering my services to my country and may run for office in the next election: may run for leg islature, or for county office, or mayl** congress; and then again, I may not run atall—time alone can tell.” Bill said the time was ripe for some man to save the people from the sharks. He said. “If our law-makers* don’t do some thing for the people in the way of getting down our taxes we ant to send new men next time. They is a hole lot of tax suckers we can do without; such as the court of appeals, the supreme court can do its work; the pardon hoard, the governor can attend to that. It It. Commission, the attorney general can do that, all for the pay they get. One man can col lect and take down all the tax for what one gets. la*t Dr. Houle run his business for so much or quit. School teachres are paid too much; stop that floating bonds enslaving the rising generation. It is mity easy for a few men to meet and say wffiat the other fel low is worth and what they must pay on it. $1.50 is plenty to pay all jurors and court bailiffs, cut out all hut the superior court; do rite and stay out of debt.” • ••** * * • Make your Dessert Brick Ice Cream; it’s wholesome food, more economical and, oh, so much easier to serve.

Jennings iuid Makes Long Trip to be at His Kedside. On Wednesday of last week there ar rived in Winder an old negro, to he ex act, 83 past, and asked about Mr. Pat Jennings. Upon being informed where Mr. Jennings lived, the old negro made , his way thither. This old negro was Unde Dan Washington, of TJtahville, 8. C„ who bad heard of the illness of Mr Jen nings, and was determined to see him and be at his bedside just as he was during four years of the war. A news man talked to Uncle Dan, who is quite interesting, and learned that he tie longed to Mr. Pat Jennings father and when the war broke out he went with his young master and was by his side ii the first buttle of Manassas. And throughout the four long years of the horrible and cruel suffering. Uncle Dan stayed with his master and said lie shqit by his side like* brothers. Unde Dan said he was the father of 30 children, but only nine were now living. We inquired of him if he was considering taking on another, when he replied : “I dunno; these young nig gers are mity sorry trash, and a wom an what doan have more en 12 or 15 children aint wuf her feed.” It is doubtful if Uncle Dan was ev er before out of Calhoun or Orange l.'urg comities, S. (’., except the time spent in the war, before making this trip to Winder. He said he had SBOO in the hank and paid his own fare and was coming hack again if Murse Pat needed him We asked the old negro what Unde Pat said when he walked in: “He ilium said liulfin—jist cried, and 1 cried too, but didnt cry out loud like Marse Pat.” Mr. Pat Jennings, our fellow towns man lias been quite ill for some days, but we understand he is now improv ing, and no doubt lie enjoyed and ai>- preciated the interest and love of this old negro—a former slave in the ’Jennings family. , i Three Houses Burn. • • Last Thursday night fire destroyed three houses out near tin* Barrow County Cotton Mills One of the houses was owned by VV. W. Sheridan and was occupied by Mr. Paul Mathis. An other was owned and occupied by Mr. Baxter, while the third was owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. It. W. Meeks.
