fo‘e ever having a thought of putting
it upon the market. Farmers began
bringing stock to him for treatment,
ar in this way he was forced to
keep on hand a small supply of the
Tonic. The demand grew rapidly and
m. Sheats placed Sheats’ Tonic
ufon the market.
I phough times have been hard and

NAMED TRADE COMMISSIONER.
“Georgia Progressive” Secures An
other Plum if Senate Will Just
Sanction President’s Choice
Washington, D. C., Feb. 22. —Pres-
ident Wilson today, five months af
ter the enactment of the feder-il
trade commission law, sent to the
senate for confirmation the name of
the five members to constitute that
commission. Whether the nomina
tions can be confirmed by March 4
was regarded by some senators as an
certain, in view of the opposition by
individual senators to some of the
men nominated.
The three democrats named by
the president are: Joseph EL Davies,
Madison, Wis., to serve seven years;
Edward N. Hurley, Chicago, for six
years; and William J. Harris, Ce
dartown, Ga.. for five years. The
other nominees are Will H. Parry,
Seattle, Wash., a progressive re
publican, named for four years, and
George Rublee Cornish, N. H., reg
istered as a progressive, for tm
years.

FOR ERECTION OF RESIDENCE.
Dl\ L. W. Hodges has let the con
tract to the Winder Lumber Company
for the erection of a $5,000 brick res
idence on his beautiful lot on Broad
street. Work has already begun and
the building will be completed about
July first.
This will be, when completed, one
of the most thoroughly modern
homes in Winder. In having his plans
made the doctor did not mind ex
pense of convenience and comfort
was involved. The plans carry all
those little conveniences that maks
a home worth while.
Heir Found at Winder.
February 4th the News published
an article concerning a negro who
died in North Carolina leaving $4,823
in the bank and deeds to eight city
lots. The negro’s relatives were un
known to the North Carolina au
thorities and they were searching
for the heirs to the estate.
Wednesday Anna Watson, the wife
of Babe Watson, of Barrow county,
called at the office of Duke Ross, ;
local attorney, and furnished him
with data to prove her claim as, a
'direct heir <to the property.
If Anna’s statements can be veri
fied and the newspaper reports as
to the wealth of the North Carolina
negro are true, Anna and her moth
er will fall heirs to a small fortune,
considering hard times.
Georgia Well Represented.
More than nine hundred Georgia
folk were present last Saturday, Feb.
20 r at the opening of the great San-
Franciseo show, the Penama exposi
tion was the most remarkable in his
tory in one respect at least —it was
complete on the opening day.
That many Georgians are going to
the San Francisco show is indicated
by the inquiries at the railroad of
fices, where special rates are offer
ed, It is evident that the beauties
of the Far West are appealing to
thousands who had planned Luro
ropean trips, until the war caused
them to abandon the voyage.

COULD DISPENSE WITH HIGH
SOCIETY AND NOT MISS IT.
The President Praises the Work of
Kentucy Institution of Learning
for the Mountaineers.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 25. —Praise
for the “simple straightforward” peo
ple of the southern mountains and
criticism of “the airs that high soci
ety gives itself,’ were voiced by
President Wilson here tonight at a
meeting held in the interest of Berea
college, Kentucky, founded to edu
cate the mountaineers. The presi
dent declared the college was ‘.‘going
srtaight to the hearts of one of the
most interesting problems of Amer
ican life,” and added that “the only
thing that is worth while in human
intercourse is to wake somebody up.”
.Justice Hughes, of the supreme
court, presided at the meeting, and
other speakers were President Frost,
of Blerea college; F. G. Houser, of
Columbia university, and Hamilton
W. Mabie, of the Outlook magazine.
They all said that there were three
million people in the mountains of
the south who needed only education
to make them of immense benefit to
the nation.
Speaking of the college, the pres
ident declared that its object was
“to do what America was intended
to do, to give to people who had not
had it an opportunity and to givt
it to them on absolutely equal terms,
on a basis not of birth, but of merit.’
“What America has vindicated
above all things else,”’ said the pre.
ident, “is that native ability has noth
ing to do with social origin. It is
amusing some times to see the airs
that high society gives itself. The
world could dispense with high soci
ety and never miss it. High soci
ety is, for those who have stopped
working and no longer have anything
important to do.
“Those who can open up the great
origins of power are those who feed
the nation; and when one thinks of
that old stock in storage there in
the- mountains for more than a hun
dred years, until tapped, some of
original stuff of the nation, waiting
speed to these men who are going
to be used, one ought to bid (.
speed to these men who are going
there and using this old capital that
has not even been put out at inter
est, that has been as it were, kept
in a chimney piece until we shall
go to it and use it and find that the
usury from it was that same usury
of freedom and of power and of ca
pacity .which has been so character
istic of America from the first.”

UNITED STATES MAY FORBID
SHIPMENT OF FOOD STUFFS.
Unless Belligerents Stop Menace to
Neutrals. — Embargo to Follow Re
jection of American Pro
posals.
Washington, February 24. —Great
Britain has. submitted to her allies —
France and Russia —proposals' made
by the United States, designed to
end menace to neutral commerce
arising from retaliatory measures of
the European belligerents toward
each other.
Briefly, the American proposals
submitted to both England and Ger
many seek the elimination by Ger
many of the recent prescribed war
zone, with its dangers to neutral ship
ping, and the adoption by all the bel
ligerents of a definite policy as to
shipments of foodstuffs to the civil
ian population of their enemies.
From sueii preliminary observations
as American diplomatic officials
abroad already have made, there is
said to be some encouragement in
the manner of the reception of tb>
proposals, at London. Germany is
inclined toward an acceptance of the
suggestions, it is understood, but on
Great Britain’s attitude depends the
moxt move.
The strong opposition which oth
er neutrals have assumed toward the
retaliatory measures adopted by the
belligerents is playing a considera
ble part in the situation. Although
the American proposals have not
been communicated to other neu
trals, iit may be said that virtually
aU the European neutrals are in ac
cord with the Washington govern
ment.
Officials, while reticent about what
has been said to Germany and Great
Britain, do not deny that the gravi
ty of the whole situation lias, been
made unmistakably clear. In some
quarters today suggestion was made,
but without confirmation from
sources usually well informed, that,
an embargo on exports, of foodstuffs
from the United States to both allies
and Germany was being consldreed
in the event of an absolute rejection
of the situation.
There is no concealment of the feel
ing in high official quarters that if
the present tension over the atti
tude of the belligerents continues
and any American lives are proved to
have been lost as the result of their
activities, the Washington govern
ment may be called on to abandon
its present attitude of friendliness to
ward all the warring powers.
Making His Best Investment.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 24.—“ The value
of a local paper to a town is worth
more to a community than any other
five business men in it,” said a
speaker at a business men’s lunch
eon here. He was speaking of the
country weekly and its work.
“Alny business man gives, some
times to boost the town, any one will
do a little now and then for a public
cause, but the paper is doing it al
ways, week in and week out, and the
town takes it as a matter of course,”
he continued. “The merchant who
advertises thinks he is doing the
paper a great favor, when as a mat
ter of fact he is merely making his
best investment.”
