The following letter has been
mailed to all the pastors of Winder,
and should meet the approval and
hearty amen of followers in His
steps. All are. or should be, intend

strangers in a strange land. The
letter follows:
“Dear Brother: It seems proper
that Union services lie held in this
town at least four times a year-
That will give one service to each of
the following churches, namely:
Christian, Presbyterian, Methodist
and Baptist. Such being our opin
ion, we have thought it wise to
invite the first meeting of this union
ao be held with the Baptist church
third Sunday night in Feb. at 7.30,
Rev. .J. H. Wood to preach the
sermon, with Rev. Fritz Rauschen
burg as alternate.
“The music for these services
will be furnished by the choir of
the church in which the meeting is
held.

truly, Lester Alex Brown,

BEAUTIFYING BUSINESS SECTION.
Little by little Winder isVioeing

The sidewalks have nearly all

passing out of the Jug Tavern regime
and the beginning of modern

HIGH PRICES SCARING REPUBLICANS
Charges That the Tariff Is Responsi
ble Threatens Defeat of the
G. 0. P.
Washington, Feb. 2. —Frankly
admitting felr that a prolonged in
vestigation of the increased cost of
living by the ways and means com
mittee of the house, or as provided
for by any of the rival resolutions,
might drag through tne summer
and work to the disadvantage of
the republicans in the elections
next fall, the senate finance com
mittee today formulated a program
fora quick, short inquiry of the
subject in all its phases.
This important question was con
sidered t>y the republican members
of the committee and, as a result,
Senator Lodge introduced in the
senate a resolution providing for the
appointment of a select committee
of five senators to do the work.
No problem, it is said, has proved
so emharassing to the republican
party during its long continued con
trol of congress. When the ma jority
members of the finance committee
met today, consideration was given
to demands from every section of
the country that something lx* done
to restore normal prices on all
necessaries of life- Several senators
declared that the high prices would
he attributed directly to the tariff,
and that unless something was done
to refute this charge, the republican
party would he compelled to liear
the brunt of the attack.
Suggestion was made that the
pro Dosed investigation by the ways
and means committee of the house
would accomplish every purpose,
hut after the examination of the
resolution introduced by Chairman
Payne yesterday it was character
ized as a “dragnet.”
The opinion was expressed gen
erally that such an inquiry as was
proposed by the house would not be
concluded in time to lie of assis-,
tanee to republicans in the cam
paign for re-electior.
Senator Lodge, after remonstrat
ing vigorously, finally agreed that
he would undertake to conduct a
rigid investigation and report to
the present session of congress, if
he were chosen the head of a com
mittee. Acting upon that promise
a resolution was drafted and later
introduced by Mr. Lodge, providing
for a committee of five senators.
Senator Lodge has requested that
Senator Smoot also he assigned to
this committee. Both are mem
bers of the finance committee and
were recognized as hard workers
during the preparation of the tariff
bill.
As drafted, the Lodge bill will in
clude an investigation into the cost
of the necessaries of life with an
! especial view to determining whetlr
er there has been an increase dur
ing the last two years. It directs
that the inquiry shall cover the
question of wages with a view to
ascertaining whether they have
been increased in propotion to the
advanced cost of necessaries. It
was referred to the finance com
mittee, which is committed to its
approval and to a prompt report.
The Sparta Methodist church,
built in 1805. was destroyed by fire
Wednesday.
Another mine disaster claimed
sixty-eight lives yesterday. This
one occurred near Lareda, Tex.
K. OE P S INSTALL OFFICERS
Mr. W. 0. Perry Chosen as Grand
Representative.
At the regular meeting of the
Knights of Pythias last Thursday
night the new officers elected in
December f>r 1910 were installed
as follows: L C. Russell, C- C,; J-
B. Williams, V. C.; H.N. Rainey,
Jr., P.; Karl Callahan, M. W ; C.
C- Gregory, M. A.; W. H.Ouarter
man, M. E.; S. C. Hill, O. G-, and
Clyde Williamson, I. G.
This was the time for selecting a
representative to the Grand Lodge,
and Russell lodge conferred that
honor upon Mr. W. O. Perry. The
Grand Lodge meets some time in
May in the city of Brunswick.
Russell lodge has many Knights
who would represent her with credit
upon the floor of the Grand Lodge,
but no one is more worthy to wear
her honors than Mr. Perry. Brainy,
courteous and dignified, lie will
command attention in this august
gathering.
AMEND THE LAW.
The next general assembly should
amend the registration law so to
permit the books to remain open
up to within one month of the pri
mary election. In answer to the
question ‘‘Would the fanners and
general public lie lienefitted by the
changes?” The Macon Telegraph
says:
“There is no question as to the
desirability of amending the regis
tration law so as to keep the books
open until within one month of the
election or primary. An honest
Georgian, if he is only a poll-taxer,
ought to have the right to qualify
up to the last minute to the time
necessarily required to arrange,
perfect and print the registration
lists. The present scheme to close
six months liefore the election is a
blow aimed at the poor man. This
newspaper has denounced it an
outrageous discrimination, and will
continue to so denounce it as long
as it remains on the statute books.
It is equivalent to establishing a
property qualification for voting,
which is contrary to the most vital
principles of free government. It
is a strike at the heart of our Ameri
can institutions more deadly than
the tendencies to centralize govern
ment at Washington.
“The people ought to have a
special eye to early registration this
year, in order to avoid this pitfall
dug for their feet, and then they
ought to have an eye also to the
character of men they elect to tin*
Legislature.”
The meanest man has often lx?en
beard from, but Alabama comes to
the front with the meanest woman.
A woman in that state is suing the
administrator of her father’s estate
because he put a tombstone over
her father’s grave and she also ob
jected to the purchase of a coffin
in which to lay away the remains
of her mother. And this the money
that her parents had labored to
earn.
In one cold storage house in Jer
sey City there is said to lx* thirty
six million eggs and one hundred
thousand pounds of poultry. They
have lx-en there since April, lt>o9.
