Winder, Jackson County, Ga., Thursday, July 31, 1913. “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.

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.
