When Miss Odessa Moore, recent graduate of the Atlanta law school, officially hangs out her shingle and takes up the practice of the law she has been studying, she will assume the profession because she is a woman rather than in spite of her sex. "For women are better lawyers by nature than men” the young student of jurisprudence explained, expressing her hope that in using her feminine quali ties of mind and nature she would be able to succeed eminently in a profes sion long monopolized by masculinity. "Men predicted failure for women when the first feminine teacher was named,” said Miss Moore. "Now, you see. women have usurped the profes sion. So will it be with the practice of law.” The charming young attorney pre senting the case of women before the bar of Georgia citizenry, asserted that women are more diplomatic than men, and therefore more capable of the in tricate diplomacies of the law. "And the practice of law depends much on a knowledge of human nature, a thing in which women have always •evcelk'd,’’ exclaimed the young defender. Women have studied human nature just as it grows and develops in the child and they know how to handle men.” Miss Moore, who was one of the first women to become interested in the stale and National League of "Women Voters, believe women take citizenship —good ■cDtizenshipi at; least —more seriously than do men. “Citizenship as a science” is the nat ural study of women who practice law, according to Miss Moore, and the care with which women meet the citizenship problems illustrates her fitness for the legal world. While Miss Moore, who was one of the four women students recently graduated from the school, is assert ing the fitness of herself and of wom en in general for the- practice of law, her classmates, one of them at least, is differing. Mrs. Susan Wimberly Ev erett thinks women can be good law yers, but doesn’t think they'd like it if they were. “Not to a woman’s taste,” explained this student, who is to use her legal knowledge to further her business ca reer. In the meantime, Mrs. Aileen Rob inson. another of the students, agrees \with Miss Moore and is preparing her self for the practice of law through work in an attorney’s office; while Mrs. M. G. G. Nil-oil. the fourth, makes the argument break even by going oil with her work in the Veteran's Bureau without any announcement of her ad mission to the bar or her to practice the rule's she..has just labo riously learned.—Atlanta Journal.

Mayor George Thompson and family sp-lit last Sunday at Carter Hill with Mrs Thompson’s parents, Judge and Mrs. 11. Ci. Ilill. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, June 21, 1923. We have received a small road map gotten out Dv the Kiwanis club of Mon roe. in which from the map it would appear that the distance from Attlanta to Athens by way of Monroe is much nearer than by the Bankhead High way which comes by Winder. Every body knows the Winder route is near er. Also the printing on this may has a tendency to mislead travelers. The Bankhead Highway is put down in plain style to Athens from the Caro linas. and from Athens to Atlanta the appearance of the highway is changed in such a way as to leave the impres sion that the Bankhead Highway goes by Monroe. We are surprised that our neighbors should resort to such tactics to secure travel l>y Monroe. We always bring ourselves into disrepute when we do things that have a tendency to mislead the public. The route from Athens to Atlanta is shorter by Winder than it is by Mon roe. The Bankhead Highway goes by 'Winder Just because Winder happens to be better situated than Monroe should not cause our neighbor to resort to the publication of such maps as the one before us. C. M. THOMPSON KNOCKS HOME RUN This government is killing tin* goose that lays the golden egg. Her legisla tion. both state and national, lias been such as to put a premium on all save the farmer boy. Kite laxes his lands and his products so as to make farming a small and in significant affair. She spends millions trying to enforce a law known as pro hibition which funds conic indirectly from honest Rube, She saddles a bur den upon him in the great road system of this country. What will your roads be worth with nothing to haul over t hem ? I am n<> wise guy or son of a prophet, but of the present system of robbery continues you will see men staggering upon the streets of Winder for the want of their accustomed food. Their bodies have been fed upon a sensible diet and when they sit down to bread and meat or maybe bread and water then arise to go their daily rounds they will reel with weakness from ex haustion. This, all because of idiotic laws and taxes. How grand will your costly mansion stand in your eye when you are shab bily clad and hungry? What will you care for a macadam road or white way? You cannot pour learning, wisdom or religion into a person like you can till a jug Neither can you legislate mor als, sobriety or religion into folks. Now repeal VK) net cent of your laws and put a lot of high salaried officers to fann ing, for he is the man who feeds ’em all.’ The boll weevil, ’tater bug. carterpil lar. army worm are only small affairs - when compared to tin' great hyena or] octopus that are making great havoc in this God-blessed Sunny South land of America. It is reported that our common labor ers when they go north get enormous wages. This thievery legislation it here and lavishing it in other sections on manufacturing enterprise's. Why not put a premium on farming and let upl on faxes that weaken the farmer, raise more of the geese that lay the golden j egg and prosperity will crown your ef- j forts. Then worship and pay tribute j to the God whom you owe for all, things. I am a prohibitionist but no law of the land made me tnus.l am in sympa thy with any secret order that stands for law and order, but no state or na-i tional law caused me to turn this way. l The law of right, man to mail, and man to God. If the story of the Gross won’t stop some evils, no law of this land can. I More justice, man to man, more service j of Jehovah in the true spirit and less law; more fn-edom and less slavery, more happiness and less misery when some laws are changed. (’. M. THOMPSON.

Keeping Business At Home NO town can he permanently prosperous in which the eit zens and tradesmen depend ent on each other do not patron ize each other The fact is. hut little is ever made by going away to trade, if it can be secured at home, and oftener there is u loss. Show us a town in which the people make it a rule not to send away for anything they can get at home and we will show you a town in which business is lively, and everybody buys, and trade is centered from abroad. I*i ices are low and the tradesmen patronize each other, having no suspicion that confidence will lie abused. lad it be .understood that when business men of any town get in the habit of sending abroad for purchases their busi ness will languish. Having no confidence in each othe: how can they expect others to have confi dence in them? No, that’s not the way to build a town. Patron ize each other, and keep your business at borne. —Fitzgerald Leader. MANY NEGROES ARE KILLED IN OHIO News conies from Cleveland, Ohio that the clash of stillettos and razors down in the lower East Side has be come a common feature of Cleveland’s night life since the migration of the Southern negroes has overflowed into the vast foreign settlements of the city. - And, the police say, the razor of Nic southern negro is not half so effective as the stilletto of the Italian and the 'other European nationalities. The stilletto is a long, slender and very sharp pointed instrument in the use of which the low class Italian is very ex pert, and against which tin* razor is of little value. The clash if the foreigner and the negro is very frequent for the foreigners keenly resent the overflow ing of the negroes into their quarters Brawls between the two races occur al most every night, and in numerous in stances many negroes have been killed or severely wounded in the lights. Similar conditions prevail in De troit, Chicago and Philadelphia. Thousands of southern negroes who - have been lured to Cleveland from I southern plantations by labor promot | ers seeking cheap labor for short time I building booms are now walking the streets hungry and jobless. Southern negroes who have migrated to Cincinnati, are being gouged to the limit by the landlords in the negro dis tricts of these cities. Some of them ate being charged as much as ten dollars a week for one room, and three and four families are living In houses built for one, because of the extreme conges tion in the negro quarters. The negro quarters in Cincinnati arc largely located down along the Ohio river front in wliat is known as the ‘‘Bottoms” in which, according to the police, as many us 365 persons have t een killed in the course of one year. Each year this district is partially or entirely flooded and the negroes have to seek safety in other sections of the city until the river recedes. Many ne groes have been drowned’ by these floods.

Winder Drug Cos. Telephone 286 IT IS THE 1923 CROP OF WEEVILS TH AT WILL RUIN YOUR COT AN3) THAT YOU MUST KILL (By ,1. T. PITTMAN, County Agent) Hibernated boll weevils live four to six months, but they live an average of only 7 to 15 days after emergence. Sum mer weevils live an average of 70 days. Weevils do not feed much on any thing but cotton mid they do not lay eggs anywhere except in squares and hulls of cotton. Many farmers stated to me last week that they were not finding weevils now ns they did a few weeks ngo.The facts given here will help you to understand why. You can also see the need of a united and concerted tight on the wee vil at this time. At this writing the cotton has not yet put on squares, therefore, the wee vils can not raise anew crop of weevils until the cotton puts on the'squares and bolls. It is the 1023 crop of wee vils that will damage your cotton. The hibernated weevils, now living, cannot do you much damage unless you let him live to deposit eggs in the square*. If the farmers will take advantage of these facts and poison the cotton in the buds before the squares are formed, the greater number of the remaining weevils can be destroyed before they have a chance to lav the eggs. The opportunity for a decisive battle is with you right now The importance of making the fight in every cotton field should not be ever looked. We urge the farmers to do this —DO IT NOW. Farmers who be lieve in making the tight should Tteip their neighbors to see the advantage of making the fight they will thank you for it after the cotton is made. The outlook for a cotton crop is blight. It lias been very dark during the rainy days. But, farmers, you are at the tint now, strike while you have the opportunity. Eight to ten thous and bales of cotton can be made if EVERY FARMER WIIJ- USE CAI <- GUM ARSENATE ANI) USE IT RIGHT.

THE BEAN BEETLE Many gardeners in Winder are com plaining about the bean beetle destroy ing their beans. \lr. 8. G. Potts brought to tills office a bean leaf shich had five of these weevils clinging to it. Mr. W .Vi. Marlow brought in several this w-’ek and says they are playing havoc with the bean crop. When they first appear they look somewhat like a green ex klehurr. A preparation known as “Cal Sulphur” will thoroughly destroy these beetles. j BILL GREESON SAYS: “I went to Preaching Sunday.
