rHE WINDER NEWS. Published Every Thursday Evening BY — ROSS ct CANNON. R. O. ROSS, Editor. C. R. CANNON, Business Manager. Entered at the Postoffice at Winder, Ga., as Second Class Mail Matter. Thursday, February 3, 1910. Beef on the hoof brings about cents per pound in \\ inder, yet steak cost al>out lo per pound. Thirty-three miners met a hor rible death in a coal mine at Drakes loro, Ky., Monday, as a result of an explosion. We will Ik t the next excuse coun cil will give for not widening Can dler street, will Ik* that to do so “will endager the shrubbery. At state-wide prohibition bill has passed tin* South Carolina bouse of representatives. It is predicted that it will Ih* killed in the senate. Winder needs more small focto* ries. And, by the way, there is not a town in Northeast Georgia letter situated for their location. Aii Atlanta policeman actually captured a lmrglar Wednesday night. In justice to the force, however, it should he stated that he was only si supernumerary. It is said I’ig Tail] alley will be widened when hands can he secured to do the work. All who want si waiting joh,apply to T. 11. Hodges, chairman of the street committee. The superior court of Oconee county was engaged last week in regulating the troubles of the Branch family. A Branch was a party to the litigation of every case tried. Not satisfied with the prohibition status in Georgia, the state leaders are agitating putting out a state ticket- Prohibition is all right, hut a prohibition party and prohibition candidates is a horse of another color. . Watson keeps hammering at Lee, Duckworth aud Bodenhamer. If half what Mr. Watson says is true, these men should be forced to re sign. How innocent men can rest serenely under such an indictment we can’t understand. From Punxsutawney, Pa., the home of the ground hog, comes the announcement that the official shadow was cast across the otlicial ground hog and he returned to his hole. This indicates blustery weather for six weeks. After cutting out meat for a week, a Chicago man ordered a por terhouse, got busy, and was soon choked to death. And the press dispatches tell us that a Louisville, Ky., alderman was choked to death Monday on,a free lunch*. Judge A. W. Fite is again after the Dade county “government” blind tiger, lie has another feder al officer in jail. We fear ’his one will not escape as easily as did Stegall- Cureton, the owner of the wild cat distillery, will, no doubt, now get all that is coming to him. Louis R. Gla vis seems to have President Taft and his official family worried, ami it is said they aie considering the advisability of hav ing the young man questioned by an attorney in the interest of Bal linger. Glavis is heeled with let ters, telegrams and a good memory, and' is making it look dark for Ballinger. SHOULD NOT SERVE THE SYSTEM. We notice that the grand juries over the Western circuit are getting busy with their endorsements of people for office. There was a time when an en dorsement for judge or solicitor meant something, and served as an introduction to the general assembly of an aspiring son of that particular judicial circuit. But that was in the good old days when the wire pullers and fixers met at the Kim ball House, in Atlanta, and planned the downfall of the tenderfoot. But times have changed. Now the candidate must carry his case direct to tin* people. It matters not how much conniving and wire pulling is done to receive the en dorsement of a grand jury, it only means the opinion of twenty-three men. However, it serves as cam paign thunder for the one endorsed. This seems to Ik* part of tin* sys tem now in vogue in, the Western circuit. Jackson county’s grand jury meets next week. Bet us hope that Jackson will turn a deaf ear to t tie system —a system that is only meant to give one contestant an ad vantage over another in point of campaign thundt r. OUR IUIOR. Editor Flanigan, of the Gwinnett Journal, in W dnesday’s edition of that Progressive Blowhard, gives us our liist lesson in journalism. By comparison, Jimmy intimates that the reason we are not turning the world upside down is because our advertising rates are too low. We agree with Brother Flanigan fully on this point, and for a year have been trying to convince our mer chants of that fact. Speaking of our rates, The Jour nal says: “The Winder News carried a two page advertisement, two weeks ago, for a Winder merchant and got only SIO.OO for it- The Gwinnett Jour nal last week had a page ad. of a brother of the Winder merchant and got as much for that one page as The Winder News received for the two-page advertisement. ’’ We publish the above as informa tion. It will be interesting to the aforesaid merchant to learn that we have received $ 10.00 for that double page ad. Jimmy, your guess was had. The hill for that work was not presented until today, and you would have the time of your lift trying to convince Joe Saul that he could get a double page ad in The News for ten dollars. Seriously, Jimmy, we want you to help us out. Let us know in your second lesson what your con tract with the Iloystor Guano Co calls for. We have a similar con tract, and want to he put wise for next year. Now, don’t embarrass yourself, Jimmy, by answering through “the U*st country advertising medium in Georgia.” Just drop us a line for our tiles. And, if it is not asking too much, you might include Buek len’s contract. They tell us we want double what they pay The Gwinnett Journal, hence their ad. doesn’t appear in The News. Our circulation—that is, paid subscrip tions —is only 1 <S(X>. What do you think would lx- a good rate as com pared to “the best advertising medi um'' in this station, with a circula tion of 8262? HOW IS I HIS. “We arc requested to state upon the highest authority that any man not now of age hut who will become of ago hv the general election this fall is qualified to register now and participate in all the state prima ries and elections of this year. Walton News. Now will this “highest author ity” inform us how the young man avoids false swearing when he as sertshe 18 (not will be) twenty one years of age? THE WORLD’S BEST CAR . Ve -.. J. ♦ i It does not seem possible, in this age of fine cars and keenest rivalry, that any car could be without competition. And yet that is precisely what would be revealed if a census of BUICK own etship could be taken. Interview any fair minded BUICK owner anywhere, and you will find him utterly unwilling to consider any other car. There are something like One Hvndred Thousand BUICK owners in the country, and when one of them tells you that no consideration could tempt him to change, he is merely voicing the mental attitude of entire one hundred thousand. We dare say that no car in the world can point to as many owners so unani mously loyal. ' In view of these facts, it surely behooves every thoughtful buyer to inquire into the extraordinary circumstances which have so firmly entrenched the BUICK in public approval. A little investigation will reward you with the discovery that no plant in the world is so well equipped to produce a car that will rendes undeviating service to its owner for an indefinite period as is the BUICK plant. We have received three carloads of these cars, and have more on the road. Come and look at them before you buy. Prominent Men Endorse the Buick. 4 The following testimonials are irom men well and favorably known through out Northeast Georgia: Winder, Ga., January 29th, 1910. Winder Mobile Cos., Winder, Ga. Gentlemen : 111 reply to yours, asking how I like the Buick Automobile that- I bought from you last summer, I cannot say anything too good for it, or anything against it, as it has not given me any trouble at all. It is always read} to go, and goes anywhere I want to go. •J* hiteiiead. Winder, Ga., February Ist, 1910. Winder Mobile Cos., Winder, Ga. Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to how our Buick Automobile lias stood the test, we furnish you the following : As your Mr. Hood will reoall, you turned the car over to us in Atlanta, July 16th, 1909. Since that date, we have driven the car from between forty-five hundred and five thousand miles. We are riding to day on the same tires and wind we left Atlanta with July 16th, with the exception of one puncture. Until two weeks ago, we had never spent one penny on repair in any way, and at this time, we were to the total expense of twenty-five cents. We firmly believe that the market does not afford a car at the same price that will surpass it for strict, every-day durable service. We can not commend it too highly. Yours very truly, Lamar & Perry. / ■— ----- ----- “ WINDEK MOBILE CO., . Winder, Georgia.
