Temperance Notes.
(By Mrs. Harry Segars.)
\ Would Curb Women Topers.
The movement in favor of prohi
bition in Scotland during the war is
rapidly gaining strength and not with
out reason, for there is plenty of ev
idence to show- that drinking in Scot
land is reaching alarming propor
tions. Ministers and university pro
fessors alike give appalling accounts
not only of the drinking among the
men who have enlisted, but also
among the wives of the soldiers at
the fro^it.
The well-known Glasgow ministei
Frank Knight, gives the following de
scription of conditions in that city.
“While fathers, husbands and broth
ers are fighting at the front many a
home is being ruined by the contin
ued drinking on the part of their
i#others, wives and sisters. Cases
M gYOSs child neglect are frequent;
intemperance habits are being form
ed in many cases and instances of
reckle'ss squandering of money on li
quor/ wjth all its accompanying de
mora^/f>/ion, are only too numerous.
“a'young wife of the south side
of Glasgow, whose husband was at
the front, received recently some ar
rears of money from the national
funds. She happened to be staying
with mother at the time. News
of the arrival of the deferred al
lowance spread. The young woman
was forced by her neighbors to en
tertain them.all to drink. She was
absent from her mother’s house for
three days. At the end of that time
she returned, having spent the whole
sum, S4O, on liquor.

ed, and a spirit of enthusiasm was
manifetsed by the pupils.
The local chapter W. C. T. U. pre
sented the school with eight color
ed charts. Prof. Huffaker used these
charts in his lectures to the chil
dren, and they proved beneficial. Lit
erature was distributed containing
facts about alcohol and nicotine. Af
ter about two weeks of study on
these subjects, special topics were
announced to the assembled students
and the essay contest was on. Each
pupil in the graded and high school
departments was required to write
an essay of from 100 to 300 w r ords
in length. These essays bear num
bers and will be judged by number
and will prevent favoritism. The es
says have been turned over to com
petent judges. The winning essay
will be announcerd as soon as the
judges reach a decision. The win
ning essay in the High School de
partment will be awarded $3.00 in
gold. In the graded department the
itrize is two dollars in gold.
The winning essay in the local
contest will be sent to the state con
test and contest for the ten dollar
prize. Should it win the state con
test, then it will go on to the
national contest where it will take
its chances at the $50.00 prize. The
successful graded essay also goes
to the state contest, and should it be
the lucky one will travel on to the
national contest and vie with other
state essays for the Mary C. Upham
prize, $30.00 in gold.
Scientific temperance training is
one of the needs of the hour and
the local chapter appreciates* the ef
forts of Winder’s school teachers in
this departmental work. It it a hu
mane uplift at the proper place arid
will redown to the glory of God.
In Line for a Funeral.
“That old trick horse of the legis
lature,’’ the Rules Committee, has
been ridden to death and is in line
for a first class funeral (no flow-ers)
according to the views of the lead
ers who are going to fight for real
prohibition this summer.
Editor G. W. Eichelberger of the
The Winder New*, Thursday Afternoon, May 20th, 1915.
Georgia Commonwealth, says that the
liquor interests have ridden the Com
mittee until it is spavined and brok
en in the wind and suffering from
the glanders.
Hie says that the incoming legis
lature, in adopting new rules, should
bury this old horse, and sing a re
quiem over its corpse.
“Time and again,” he says, "this
committee has strangled important
legislation in favor of the interests
against the people. The idea of
tw r o men controlling the house of
representatives is absurd. A major
ity of the legislature should always
rule the rules committee, and pass
the laws the people want, of whatev
er nature.
“The last legislature became very
tired of the domination of two men,
and this next legislature, if wise, will
correct this evil. There will of
course, be a motion to adopt the
rules of the last legislature, and un
less this matter is looked after in
advance, the halter will be put on
again before the new members real
ize it.”
“Bad Times” Strikes It Hard.
Pete Thomas, a noted Georgia char
acter, known by the startling nick
name of “Bad Times” has been con
victed of murder, following the kill
ing of his nephew in a Christmas
celebration, and has been sentenc
ed to a term of ninety-nine years in
the penitentiary.

In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of Winder evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. M. V. Fuller, Winder, says
“I was in a bad way with what the
doctor said was kidney trouble. My
back bothered me both day and night
During the day it ached constantly
over my kidneys and I could hardly
bo about. My housework was a bur
den and it was hard for me to even
straighten after stooping. Occasion
ally dark spots blurred my sight. The
kidney secretions also caused me
much annoyance. The doctor recom
mended Doan’s Kidney Pills and I
began taking them. In a short time
my kidneys became normal and the
backache© went away. I have had
no trouble from my kidneys since.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same
that Mrs. Fuller had. Foster-Mil

BARROW TO ADDRESS
STUDENTS AT DAHLONEGA
The program for commencement
at the North Georgia Agricultural
college includes a sermon by Dr. 8.
R. Iblk on Sunday, the 30th, and
on Wednesday morning Hon, David
C. Barrow will deliver an address.
Governor Honors Brooksher.
Governor Slaton recently appoint
ed Mr. J". M. Brooksher, of Dah
lonega, as a trustee of the Ninth
District Agricultural College, from
Lumpkin county, to succeed W. B.
Townsend, resigned.
Mr. Brooksher is well known in
Winder and Barrow county, having
for the past two years spent several
months each year in this section
where he and his son have an estab
lished trade in the live stock market.
Winder should have at least one
entry in that “seeing Georgia tour,’'
a party of autoists from the towns
and cities in North Georgia, who
will leave Atlanta Saturday morning
with Quitman as the objective point.
The tour does not include Winder in
its itinerary, but the Board of Trade
should arrange to have a Winder car
in the party. There are lots of folk
in Georgia who should bo woke up to
the feat that they are missing some
thing by not being Barrow county cit
izens.
After seeing what happened to Ko
rea, China is naturally a little hesi
