THE WINDER NEWS. Published Every Thursday Evening —hy — KOSS CANNON'. R. O. Ross. Editor. C. R. CANNON, Business Manager. Entered at the Postoffice .it W inder, Ga., as Second Class Mail Matter. Thursday, December 23, 1909. TO OIR READERS. The News will not appear next week. The foreman, the devil and Lord all want to enjoy Christinas, and we have decided to rest a few days ourselves. We have endeavored the past year to give you a reada ble paper, and we are sure you will be willing for us to omit the Christ mas edition. Wishing each and every one of you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, we will be with vou again, Providence permit iing, January, fi, 11)10. A merry Christmas to all our readers and correspondents. I)r. S. V. Jameson, President of Mercer University, has been elected secretary of education for the Geor gia Baptists. We have caught the council Christmas gift, and j\ve demand that they cut the eyesore of Candler street. \\ ouldn t it Ik: nice if council would surprise the residents of Pig Tail alley by removing that ejesore at the corner of Church and Can dler streets. No, we haven't got one'man rule in Winder, hut. when the* ONE MAN says: ‘‘Wo ain’t gvvi, do it,’ it is not done hy council. At t lie session to he held next i month in Athens of the Universi ty Cotton School anew cotton picking machine is to he tested. "The University of Copenhagen has, in so many words, branded Dr. Cook a fraud, hut the doctor gt t his all right. He took in something like j $l(H),000on his fake Stories. It is said that three hundred gallons of whiskey arrived by ex press in Winder last Saturday. 'This strikes us as a strong argu ment. in favor of jr hibition that does.w ’t proh ibit, Now it' some learned college' will stamp Peary n fraud and a blow will be willing n> admit that the old north pole is a mud puddle covered with ice and of no use to anyone. It may Ik* “more blessed to give than to receive,” but from the atti tude of the residents of Pig Tail alley toward the fifty-foot street, it seems that all are agreed that the other fellow may receive the greater blessing. It is reported that council will spend $20,000 or widen Candler st reet a uniform width of fifty feet. They could spend a fourth of that amount and accomplish the same thing if they had the nerve to cut the wart off of Can dler at the corner of Church. Hugh L. McKee has been nomi nated by President Taft to U* post master of Atlanta. Mr. McKee is one of the Atlanta men who turned republican when Bryan was nomi nated on a free silver platform. 11 is reward has been a long time com ing, but it is a pretty good one. RED MEN REORGANIZED. The Red Men, of Winder, have reorganized, and elected the follow ing well known men to serve the ensuing six moons: Sachem, -J. T Strange; Prophet, J. W. Saun ders; Senior Sagamore, F. W. Bon durant; Junior Sagamore, W. A. Brooks; Ci.i'f of Records, C. C. Gregory; Keeper of Wampum, L- S. Radford. Much enthusiasm was displayed on the reorganization of this tribe, and the chiefs are now scouting the forest for pale faces. The next council lire will be kindled at the wigwam on the 27th sun, 7th run and doth breath. All the chiefs are urged to be present- A MAN’S REAL MEASURE The place to take the true meas use of a man is not in the market place or in the amen corner, nor the cornfield, hut by his fireside- There lie lays aside bis mask and you may learn whether he is an imp or an angel, cur or king, hero or humbug. I care not what the world says of him —whether it crowns him boss or oelts him with bad eggs. I care not a copper what his reputation or religion may be. If his babies dread bis home-com ing and his better half swallows her heart every time she has to ask him for a five-dollar bill, be is a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and morning until he is black in the face ami bowls hal elujah until be shakes the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the front door to meet him and love’s sunshine illuminates the face of his wife every time she hears his footfall, you can take it for granted that he is pure, for his home is a heaven—and the humburg never gets that near the great white throne of God. He may he a rank atheist and red-dag anarchist, a Mormon and a mugwump, he may buy votes in blocks of live, and bet on the election; he may deal ’em from the bottom of the deck and drink beer until he can’t tell a silver dollar from a circular saw, and still be an infinitely batter nun than the cow ardly humbug who is all suavity in society but who makes home a hell, who vents upon the helpless heads of bis wife and children an ill na ture he would inHict on his fellow men hut dares not. 1 can forgive much in the fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep; who would rather h.ave the hate of the whole world than the contempt of his wife; who would rather call anger to the ('yes of a king, than tear to the face of a child. —W. C> Braun. 4 GOOD SHOW. “A Knight for a Day' was all to the good as a show, and the small audience which greeted its produc tion last night at The Lyric was generous in its applause. From the rise to the fall of the curtain the interest was intense. The girls were pretty, the jokes good and the acting splendid. The singing of the leading lady and chorus was fine, and the audience was demon strative in its applause. We are sorry to learn that the management lost money on this production. This show is out of Winder’s class, and unless better patronage is given the management of this playhouse such shows as “A Knight for a Dav” will have to pass Winder by. The management is anxious to give Winder the best class of shows hut the present patronage don't justify a show of the class of the one last night. The Marietta Journal.says “Tom Watson is grand, gloomy and pecu liar.’’ Now we would like to hear what Tom thinks of the Journal. — Rome Tribune-Hera Id. “GO THOL AND SIN NO MORE.” “Life is full of strange inconisten eies. For twenty centuries the whole of Christendom has honored Mary Magdalene,’’ says the At lanta Georgian. “The great Italian masters have limned her in immor tal colors upon canvas. The poets huVe lauded her in sacred song. Ihe memory of her gratitude is still an abiding incenst —not one less fragrant than the spikenard with which she anointed the Master’s feet; and to the weak and wayward of In r sex the very name of this penitent woman of the streets of j Palestine has been a covenant of : promisi and a star of hope. But the world today shrinks in horror for the frail daughter of Eve who is branded with the scarlet let ter. “No chance of earning an honest livelihood is offered to the fallen women. The doors of society art* closed against, her. The denuncia tions of religion sire heaped upon her. In the most cruel sense of the word she is an abandoned outcast; and from the paradise of purity which she forsakes in a moment of ternpatation, she is forever barred by the flaming sword of an austere public sentiment “Seventy times seven may be the number of man’s repeated transgres sions of the code of moral cleanli ness and each separate time his sins are forgiven. “Yet, on the other hand, let a woman err but once and she is forced by the stern edicts of society to make her place of abode among the lepers. No matter how many tears she may shed —no matter how many prayers she may offer —no matter how fervently she may yearn to treat the paths of virtue —the fates are against her. The world is an unpitying judge. Like the stern old Roman magistrate, it knows nothing but law —when it comes to dealing with the woman who fails. The man may go scot free. The litlle episode in which he figured is forgotten. The little peccadillo to which lie stooped is condoned. But the woman must be held with out ransom. For her there is no loop-hole of escapi —no hostage — and, save in the memory of what is lost toiler forever, no Home, Sweet Home.’ > And, in 90 per cent of the melodrama of this tragic kink, it is j some man who plays the villiands part. “if this he Christianity, then the religion of the meek and lowly Xaza ren has changed since he bent be fore the temple door and wrote upon the sand his answer to the Pharisees —since he spoke to the woman at the well in old Samaria | —since he lived and labored beside | the waters of Galilee!” NOTICE TO PENSIONERS.
