ELECTION FOR JUSTICES AND
CONSTABLES SATURDAY, APR J.
The election for Justices of the

the several militia districts of
Barrow: county Saturday, April 3rd.
The News is prepared to furnish tick

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
Henry Ford, the automobile man
ufacturer, was engineer in an elec
tric light plant in Detroit. Charley
Murphy, the base ball millionaire,
was a reporter on the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Thomas H. Ince, the mo
tion picture magnate, was a comic
opera comedian, glad to get SSO a
week. Charlie Weegham, owner of
the Chicago Federal base ball team
and a string of restaurants, was a
waiter in a quick-lunch room And
so it goes. The list could be strung
out to a column’s length. Therefore,
when you hear a bqy or a young man
complain that he has no chance, take
him by the arm and tell him a few
things. There never was a time in
the world’s history when there were
more opportunities for a young man
to push to the front. There never
was a time when a little intelligence
and determination would provide *
man with a competence in a few
year This is particularly true in
the farming business —for farming is
a business. The young man of today
who will take hold of a farm with
the idea of making it the best farm
in the county and who will work in
telligently for ten years, with th it
idea always before him, will not have
to work for the remainder of his
life.
A WOMAN JUDGE.
The appointment of Mrs. Georgia
P liullock to the position of Judge
of the new Women’s Court in Los
Angeles calls forth a splendid en
dorsement from the Women Lawyers
Journal, which says:
“A. judge, in a California City, has
decreed that a woman’s judge should
be a woman. He has taken a defi
nite stand, and has acted upon his
conviction after mature deliberation.
Many members of the Bench and Bar
in the State are supporting him
whole-heartedly.
“Woman lawyers haw for some
years been preaching the doctrine
that women should he judged, and
obstreperous juvenile mothered by
women who have demonstrated their
fitness for the task. It is encourag
ing to realize that the reasonable
ness, the logical necessity for such
a judicial reform, should appeal at
length to the men of the commu
nity.
The God-given qualities bestowed
upon woman at her best, her intui
tion, her innate sense of justice, and
her warm sympathies, make her pe
culiarly fit for the task.
“Women should be judged by wom
en.'’

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY AND THE CITY OF WINDER.
Winder, Barrow County, Ga., Thursday, March 18th, 1915.
GENTLEMAN BEHIND STOVE
BROKE UP CONVERSATION.
Did Not Have Much to Say, But
There Was a World v'f Meaning
in What He Did Say.
There were a number of men seat
ed around the stove at the ordinary’s
office.
A tall young fellow, who seemed
to be in a hurry, came into the of
fice and called the ordinary’s clerk
to one side and held a whispered
conversation with that official.
The clerk moved over to the cab
inet where the marriage licenses are
kept and secured a set and the
young man nervously waited until ths
same were filled out. Then he rush
ed from the building.
Someone remarked to the clerk
who has the well-known characteris
tic of thinking much and saying lit
tle:
“Going to get married, is he.”
"Nope; he w’as buying by proxy.
Run-away match, I think.”
This brought forth a running ex
change of hair-breadth escapes and
smoothe tricks played by young lov
ers upon irate fathers which had
come within the knowledge of those
present.
The merriment and exchange of
experiences concerning run aways
was suddenly brought to a close
w hen the man over behind the stove
said:
Well, fellows, my sympathies al
ways run with the father. T '- -•-
mature knowledge of men he is bet
ter qualified to judge the boy than
is the young girl who has no thought
of the after years. Should any nf
you have a sister married to a worU -
less cuss who breaks every one of
the ten commandments and caps it
off with periodicals drunks and a
rough house; and then see your sis
ter clinging tighter to as, he
takes every step nearer *rtvn — 1 hell,
and she the mother of three o'- four
helpless little children whom you
feel honor-bound to shield from nak
edness and hunger, you will take h
different view of these affairs ”
When thus speech was concluded
it was about the dinner time of all
those present.

FIXING FOR CITY BEAUTIFUL.
Movement Started by Civic League
Is Bearing Bountiful Fruit.
Bv Saturday night the work of
cleaning up Winder will have been
well nigh completed. Several days
ago the Civic League started a move
ment for this purpose, naming March
19 and 20th as the days upon which
the citizens would be expected to
clear their premises of rubbish and
trash of every kind, and put a touch
of cleanliness and beauty in evi
dence, and there has been much ac
tivity along this line today. The
city authorities will have two wagons
on duty, subject to the call of any
citizen who has need for them in dis
posing of refuse matter and garbage,
and by Saturday night the work of
cleaning up the town w ill be finish
ed.
Everybody should give the matter
special attention, as the spring sea
son is here and aside from the objec
tionable features the accumulation of
trash around the home has, from a
visionary standpoint, it is unsanitary
and unhealthy, and should be given
immediate attention. Clean up now,
and make Winder a city beautful.

TAFT URGES COUNTRY
TO RALLY TO WILSON.
Says Present’s Policies Should
Receive United Support “In
This Critical Period.”
Chapel Hill, N. €., March 17.—The
united support of the country for tho
policies of President Wilson in “this
critical period” of the nation's history
was urged here tonight by former
President William H. Taft, who de
livered the first of a series of three
lectures to students of the Univer
sity of North Carolina on the presi
dency; its powers, duties, responsi
bilities and limitations
Mr. Taft declared that the office
of president is representative of the
dignity of the American people and
that at K,uch a time as this it must
have the hearty approval of the
whole people if that dignity f s to
he preserved. Whateveer of party
criticisms of the present policies
might be made, lie declared, should
be deferred until the crisis is past.
Emphasizing what lie termed the
saneness and conservatism which
characterized the framers ot the
constitution in their work, the former
president entered a vigorous protest,
against a constitutional convention
to amend the nation’s fundamental
law. “There are those,” he declared,
‘ who think they can improve the
constitution by blowing it up. Fortu
nately they are in the minority.” ,
