JAMES B. NEVIN Has Kind Words for the Creation of Barrow County James B. Nevin, one of the most brilliant newspaper men in Georgia in Monday’s Atlanta Georgian had some very kind words to say for Winder and the probable success of the proposi tion to create Barrow county. Mr. Nevin is the broad-minded polit ical editor of the Atlanta Geor gian, wide-avvake and pretty well versed in the trend of things Political or otherwise. ILi e is how he sizes up the proposition o J new counties: “There will he many new coun ty propositions submitted to the Georgia Legislature at its forth coming summer session. Some of them are likely to go thru. “There generally is a disposi tion upon the part of the Legisla ture to give favorable ear to new county proposals, where the showing made is commendable, for it is recognized as a fact that, same counties in the State now are both fearfully and wonderful ly made, particularly, as concerns the convenience of the peoph thereof in the matter ot getting to and from the county seats. “One new county proposal, for instance, that the Legislature like ly vvill consider with favor# is that of the new 1 county of Bar row. Barrow will be created of slices of Walton. Gwinnett am. Jaekson, with the hustling and altogether substantial town of Winder as the county scat. “It generally is recognized that this proposition is a £°°d one. Winder now is neither fish nor flesh, nor good red herring, ft is located right where Gwin nett, Jackson and Walton conn ties corner.lt’s many miles from the county scats of all .three conn ties, and it is the most important town in its vicinity.. “If any new county proposi tions will look good to the in coming Legislature, seemingly the proposed c o unty of Barrow should. And many members ol the new General Assembly al ready have expressed themselves as ready to vote for it. “It seems safe enough to say, itherefore that any new county proposition that frames up as reasonably as Barrow, likely will receive attention to its backers satisfaction, even though numer ous new county propositions un doubtedly will receive Cold com fort at the hands of the Legisla ture.

SHINGLEMAN. 12 Pages.—No. 6 CASE OF J WYLIE SMITH Solemn Warning that the “Way cf the Transgressor Is Hard’’ Atlanta, Ga., May 21— Thoughtless people who make a joke of the solemn warning that the “way of the transgressor is hard,’’ will never hear from any pulpit a more striking illustra tion of that truth than is present ed to the world by the person of J. Wylie Siniht, who has come back to Atlanta a living skele- ton after having suffered terrible a fugitive from jus tice for more than two years. Two years ago Wylie Smith was a prosperous and respected Atlanta business man He had a happy family and was proserous among his friends. But he yield ed to the temptation to get mon ey faster than it could he made honestly, and wrecked the Com mercial Loan & Discount Compa ny, of which lie was president,. His thefts were immediately dis covered. and he fled to Mexico. Since that moment to this his life has been a hell o earth. For a while he rotted in a Mexican jail. Later he was impressed in- to the army of Orosco. Broken in body and spirit by privatio' and disease, with the shadow of death hovering over him, lie final Jy crawled hack to American ter ritory and surrendered. Today he occupies a cell in the hospital ward in the Fulton County jail a mental and physical wreck. His wife, a broken hearted woman, unable to live in this city where her husband is accuse* of betraying the trust of some of his best friends, has disappeared from Atlanta, to live with rela tives in another part of the coun try. Gees to Mesom Prof. J. P. Dendy, principal of Hoschton High School, has been elected principal of Mesom Acad emy, in Lexington, and has sig nified his intention to accept. Prof. Dendy, who came from South Carolina two years ago, has taught tw G splendid schools of -Jacks n county, in both in stants declining re-election < n account of the patronage received in both schools over-erow(ding the school buildings. ’ { When will the time come in the history of our schools or prog rcss of our schools, when all of our smaller towns and thickly settled rural communities, con struct modern school buildings with spacious rooms and audito riums. Why should Jackson lose an aggressive teacher, who* can en list the entire patronage in a dis triet? I Inadequate and poorly equip ped school buildings causing a hustling school principal to with draw or retire, does not speak well for a community.
