JEFFERSON REJOICES.
FuSl of Patriotic Enthusiasm the
Hubites Make Merry.
Thursday afternoon, when the
news was flashed from Georgia s
capital “Barrow County is dead*’
Jefferson, that grand old sleepy
burg on the liasnks of Curry’s
creek, was aroused from is
lethargy. 1m a moment she was
alive with patriotic enthusiasm.
Too ‘full for utterance hut not
too full for acrobatic stun's. Tis
said her denizens cut high didoes
and rejoiced with exceeding great
joy, Reg milai were' ridden on
rails.
Winder citizens were buried in
effigy, while staid old ciizens
looked om ;and smiled approv
al. Gone was that tired feeling
that spread over the town when
the band footed” too early for
for her victorious hero last Au
gust. Jefferson was rejoicing.
To the tall timbers with lethargy.,
and tired feelings. Pent-up pa
triotic zeal must have full sway
on this AUSPICIOUS occasion.
“Breathes there a man with soul
so dead,
Who ne’er to himself hath
said,
This is my own my native land.”'
Dead men tell no tales, s'long
with the dance. And—
We were among those who
came in for favors, and this is
how we found it out:
■“Jefferson, Ga., July 24.—-To
the Mayor of Winder, Barrow
County.-411 will be impossible lor
James M. Wood to reach Winder
before July 26th. to hold an in
quest over the remains of Bob
Ross.
Please keep the body in as
good shape as possible until than.
Yours very truly,
•' Well Pleased.”
Bead. Oh cruel fate. Just when
We had so much to live for, and
election year steadily approach
ing. llFftory sometimes repeals
itself. Who knows but that your
band has ‘•''tooted.” too soon this
time.
Be that -as it may, friends.
With all your faults we love yon
still, and we long for an opportu
nity to show onr esteem. On
with the dance. Drink, eat and
make merry. Whether Barrow
county proves a dream or a real
ity no h'atme .shall attach to you.
Beqnieieeat in pace.
Frank, If Not Grammatical.
Atlan'a, Ga., 'Tilly 31.—“1 aint
no Latin scholar and 1 don’t,
know what yon mean by a Wes
Non, but if ft means we don’t
git no pay fer that day, 1 ’m agin
it.” I
So went on record one frank
South Georgia member of the leg
islature when the question came
up what to do about the day the
legislators spent in A gust a.
r ”hat most of the. iViembers
r
agree with him in sentiment if
not in graminer seems evidenced
by. the fact that the legislature
has not declared dies non in
a number of years pas-t.
Some times the dies non lias
been declared early in the ses
sion, but always toward the eiose,
the order has been revoked,
in odrer that the represenatives
may get home the one day sooner.

“NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPING.”
Barrcw County Bill Reconsidered
By Georgia Senate Friday
Moraing.
ii
The Georgia senate early Fri
day morning reconsidered its
action of last Thursday when it
refused its sanction to the bill
creating the county of Barrow
by a vote of 17 against the
proposition to 25 in its favor.
Only nine votes were east
against reconsideration, and the
final success of the measure is
brighter now’ than ever before.
The merits of this measure are
recognized from Rabun /> TVbee,
and the Georgia lawmakers are
beginning to see through the lo
cal political fight re
lentlessly waged against this sec
tion. I
. For nine years we have been
made a political pawn in every
election. Regardless of the fit
ness for office the gumshoes and
'speak - easies would knife those
men who would no+ secretly
pledge themselves against the
new county proposition. TKvo
years - ago these speak-eas
ies were forced out in the open
in Jackson county, t his section
-entered the political arena, and
! tin* result was tin* turning down
of every man who openly de
clared his antipathy to the new
county proposition. Every i
who holds office in Jackson to
day, from coroner to senator
wherever a contest was waged,
i owes his victory to the large
vote he received in this section.
Few men in either county af
fected are fighting the proposi
tion because they believe the
formation of the new county
would prove hurtful to their re
spective counties.
No, revenge for political mis
fortune, aided and abetted by
jealousy of this city’s progress,
is the tap-root, of their opposi
tion, however much they may
howl about taxation and sen
tirnental pride.
WASHINGTON CITY.
"Swept by Severe Tornado—Three
Killed And Much Property
Damage.
Washington, July 30.—Like a
giant flail, a cyclonic s'orm of
wind, rain and hail whipped back
and forth across the nation's cap
ital today, leaving death and ruin
in its wake. Three dead, scores
injured and hundreds of thous
ands of dollars’ worth of prop
erty des'royed was the tol>* re
corded in the hurried canvas
made when the city aroused itself
after half an hour of helplessness
in the grasp of the elements.
Out of a blazing sky, under
which the city was sweltering at
the temperature of 100 degrees,
came the storm, roaring from tin
north, driving a mass of clouds
that cast a mantle of darkness
over the city. The gale reached
a velocity of almost seventy miles
ar hour, swept the street (-tear,
unroofed houses, tore detached
small structures from their founa
tion, wrecked one office buildt*g,
overturned wagons and carriages
in the streets and swept Washing-
Wtntj zfur.iiMt ‘s>[jß(i pojponq s, not
branches from trees, and even
uprooting sturdy old oaks, land
marks for a century.
Shot Sister For Burglar.
Elberton, Ga.. July 29. —One of
the most deplorable tragedies
that ever occurred in Elberton
happened here last night about
8:30 when Mr. Mack Guest, a
young white man about 30 years
of age, who runs the cotton mill
boarding llbuse, shot and killed
his sister.
llis sister, mother a ud father
w r ere visiting him and the deceas
ed had just retired in an adjoin
ing room when her brother woke
and saw her standing near a win
dow, shot her in the back with a
shot gun. He says he thought
she was a burglar. She was 17
years of age and died immediate
ly after being shot. The shooting
happened at tlie Home cotton
mill. j
Struck by Lightning.
Saturday at noon the country
home of Mr. Earl McElroy, a
prosperous young planter living
near this city, was struck by
lightning and set on fire.
The family was at dinner, hut
Mr. McElroy soon had the flames
under control and put the fire
out. Mr. McElroy seated to the
News that he thought Gie light
ning first struck a large tree
near the house and glanced on
it. It knocked out a window and
splintered up a mantle in one of
the living rooms. The fact thr4
the family were in the dining
room is very probably all that
saved them from serious injury
from the stroke.

MOTHER HUBBARDS WIN
Jack Foy Pitches No-Hit Game
Wednesday Afternoon
Rain WemUsday afternoon cut
short what promised to be the
star performance on the local
diamond this 1 season.
The biK of fare for the local
fans was Mother-llubbarda vs
Athletics.
Manager Jackson sent Foy to
the pitcher’s box for the Moth
er Hubbards, while lanky T. Her
rin did the twir ing for the Ath

The Mother Hubbards took the
field and Rube Waddell Foy fan

others that faced him during the
afternoon went down before the
Winder wonder, not a single
Athletic reaching the first base.
Herrin yielded only three hits.
The score stood 3 to 0 when the
game was called on account of
rain.
Medical Practice Bill.
The medical practice bill has
passed the State senate. The aim
of this bill is to raise the effi
ciency and standard of tin* medi
cal profession. The men who
are the guardians of our health
should know their business, and
quacks and barn-storming should
be outlawed. We hope the bit’
will pass the house. ‘
Scouts Having Fine Time.
A grapevine dispatch from
Camp Ferguson is to the effect
that the Boy Scouts are having

greatest attractions visiting mov
