A Correction.
Last week in naming (lie gradu
ate* from Winder High School for
the year 1915, the name of Mr. Zack
Jackson was omitted by the linotype
operator. Zack Is a fine young man
and made an excellent record In bis
studies.
Today is the anniversary of Jef
ferson Davis' birth. Appropriate ex
ercises are being held in many towns
and cities all over the South.
Eminent scientists are to reopen
a discussion of Peary’s discovery of
the pole. They should wait until af

Thanks to the moving pictures, the
people of the rest of the country have
been delivered from the tenderloin ac

One fact that stands out like a

is that the Roasted European diplo

If we could change our views on
public questions as easily as the At

An exchange says llmberger cheese
laid away in cupboards and refriger
ators will drive ants away. No doubt
of it. It will drive a hog out of a
tan yard; it will drive a tramp away
from a meal of victuals; it will drive
a mule through a barbed wire fence;
it will drive a spike into a brick; it
will drive a herd of cattle over a
precipice; it will drive a negro away
from a chicken roost or a man to
insanity who stays five minutes with
in ten feet of its unsavory presence.
; A prominent Chicago tuan was In
Winder last week on a business trip,
and visited the Bell oxol*3ll Co.’s
plant. In speaking of this industry
he said that in calling on the man
ufacturers of this line of goods in
the Southeastern and gulf states that
lie had found but one other com
pany who made garments of the Bell
grade quality, and that their product
not any better than the Winder

compliment to the local plant, as it
.cymes from a man who knows.
Booster Edition.
The Conyers Times comes (o us
this week all dressed up in progres
siveism. it contains sixteen pages,
neatly printed. The issue is dedicat
ed to the Conyers Board of Trade,
and the result shows that the Board
of Trade is alive. On the front page
is carried the picture of a handsome
thirty-five thousand dollar school
building which is now in course of
erection. Speaking of the Board of
Trade, Editor Tyler says:
Conyers has a live Board of Trade
which is a positive force in the com
munity. Its activities are not ex
pended in the usual compilation of
statistics, but are directed in bring
ing together the citizens of the coun
ty and city; of eradicating the legal
but false and imaginary social line
that exists between town and coun
try. The Board of Trade works to
make the county and city sociallv
conterminous —to impress upon the
citizens that their interests are iden
tical, that all should pull together for
the common weal.
SUGGESTIONS FOR BOOSTING.
Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
liuilding good houses builds a good
town.
Save a little money and save alo
of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town,
blit to money.
He a live one and the town wil.
never he a dead one.
A nice front porch lias prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dog3
and not knockers.
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have to
the future are house plans.
A good way to make the wor’d
better Is to begin with the home
town.
Don’t spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
He like a hall player. The thing
he is always working for is home.
Don’t be a grouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you well, even the
doctor.
Let’s not be trying to stop some-
I tiling all of the time. Let's start
something.
A good town will do more to keen
I the boys at home than good advice.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW.
Ho you know that an editor or a
reporter for a newspaper can in his
rounds stop and ask a hundred per
sons "what is the news.” and ninety
out of the hundred will reply, "Noth
ing special,” and yet r>o out of that
number know something that, if not
found in the next i>aper, will aston
ish them greatly and disappoint them
more, and perhaps make them mad
der than hornets. Don’t be afraid
to let the newspaper man know it.
AND MAYBE THEY CAN.
One-third of the fools in the coun
try think they can beat a lawyer ex
pounding tbe law's. One-half think
they can belt the doctor in healing
the sick. Two-thirds of them think
they can put the minister in the
hole expounding the gospel, and all
of them think they can beat the ed
itor running a paper.
N Q. A. C. Has Good Year.
Postmaster McCants has returned
from Pahlonega where he went early
in the week to be present at the
meeting of the board of trustees of
(he North Georgia Agricultural col
lege, of which he is chairman. He
reports the affairs of the college in
fine shape and a splendid year just
closed. He says that greater pros
perity for this college is in store
for the future. .And this leads us to
remark that. this branch of the Unt
verslty of Georgia is better known
for its educational advantages over
many parts of the state than it is
right here at home —the counties of
Northeast Georgia. The curriculum
is the best and the teachers arc ed
ucators with the goods to deliver
This is the place for the hoy with
small means to obtain an education
Many of the boys work their way
through while others gain an edu
cation here at half the expense it
will take at less pretentious institu
tions of learning.
There are two reasons why some
people do not mind their own busi
ness. One is that they haven’t any
business and the other is they
haven’t any mind.— Greensboro Her
ald-Journal.
A man with the mad ambitions of
the German Emperor wouldn’t hes
itate to strangle St. Peter at the
gates of Paradise, throw a bomb un
der the throne of Grace, and
then scrap with Satan for the pos
session of Purgatory. Walton Trib

The Winder News, Thursday Afternoon, June 3rd, 1915.
PASS A LAW.
Are your neighbors very bad?
Pass a law!
Do they smoke? Do the}’ chew?
Are they always bothering you;
Don’t they do as you would do?
Pass a law!
Are your wages awful low?
Pass a law!
Are the prices much too high!
Do the wife and babies cry
’Cause the turkeys all roost high?
Pass a law!
When M. D. finds new diseases,
Pass a law!
Got the mumps or etifermisis,
Measles, croup or “expertitis”?
Lest we all fly to pieces,
Pass a law!
Are the lights a-burnin’ red?
Pass a law!
Paint ’em green, or paint ’em white;
Close up all them places tight.
My! Our town is such a sight
Pass a law!
No matter what the trouble is,
Pass a law!
Goodness sakes, but aint it awful
My! What are we going to do?
Almost anything aint lawful,
And the judge is human too.
Pass a law!
—Rochester, Mich. Clarion.
Don’t try to bully the world. It doe* not pay. Whoever enters the
ring for a rough and tumble fight with public opinion is pretty sure,
eventually, to be "knocked out.” Society is a Briaerus, and who
would think of encountering with a single pair of fists, a hundred
armed fellow. Better shake the multitudious hand of the gianjt,
good-naturedly, than unnecessarily provoke his wrath. Despise the
world if it so pleases you, but as you have to live in the world
and to lean on the world, it is just as well to treat it civilly. Shrewd
men, who understand their race, never seek a quarrel with society.
They understand that it is possible for an individual to lead and
quietly control a community, but not to fight it down and not to
force it to their way of thinking by means of narrow laws. If you
desire to reform supposed or real evils or disabuse your fellowmen of
their prejudices, the surest way not to succeed is to resort to denun
ciation and abuse. Kindness, conciliation and the influence of a
good example—these are the true and effective means of reform.
THE FINAL VOYAGE.
And after all It may be best, just
in the happiest, sunniest hour of all
the voyage, while eager winds are
kissing every sail, to dash against
the unseen rock, and in an instant
hear the billows roar above a sunken
ship. For whether in midsea or
’mong the breakers of the farther
shore, a wreck at last must mark
the end of each and all. Ajid every
hour is rich with love, and every
moment jeweled with joy, will at
its dost 1 become a tragedy as sad
and deep and dark as can be woven
of the warp and woof of mystery and
death. —Robert Ingersoll.
On His Own Side.
Hope Hardwick is enjoying his
stay in Honolulu, where he is not
called on to "explain” why he flop
ped to the republicans.—Macon Coun
ty Citizen.
"Enjoying himself” is right as we
are told Honolulu is chock full of
republicans.
A letter from a reader in South
Carolina, who seems anxious to stir
up an argument over the hell ques
tion. He declares that any man is
a fool who believes there is any such
place as hell where the wicked are
burned in fire. According to the
Bible the wicked will be destroyed.
That much is certain. Our private
opinion is that there is something
terribly wrong with the fellow that
gets hot under the collar because
somebody says there Is a hell. The
man who lives right need care very
little whether there is or is not a
hell. It is the guilty soul who would
banish the hot place and turn the
devil out to grass—Greensboro Her
ald-Journal.
PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.
The average man is always paid
average wages.
In trying to get her rights many
a woman goes at it in the wrong
way.
The first thing a young man learns
at college is how little his parents
know.
The business man who will not ad
vertise would make a good hearse
driver.
Don’t look for soft snaps; the
hard snaps are the ones that have
ginger in them.
Some men would be more than
willing to work if they could only
find a choice victim.
When a man sings a woman’s prais
es, she doesn’t care whether he can
carry the tune or not.
It is only when a valuable piece
of property is offered for a song that
the average man discovers he can’t
sing.
A Washington dispatch quotes
Hoke Smith as saying that he favors
congressional action prohibiting com
mercial intercourse with Great Brit
ain, so long as her present policy
towards ships of neutral nations is
persisted in. Iloke is evidently at
work for "12 cent cotton” again,
and, wise statesman as he is, is sat
isfied that the way to raise the
price of the staple is to absolutely
destroy the last foreign market for
it, and compel the farmers to take
whatever the American mills are dis
posed to pay for what they need of
it The idea of depriving the farmers
of the west and south of an oppor
tunity to sell their products in Eu
rope is so contemptibly absurd that
it really ‘"fatigues indignation” to
think about it —News-Herald.
HASH
AND RE-HASH
(By Julian Ross.)
Last week’s joke:
From a word of five letters take
away two and leave one.
St —one, A1 —one, Ph —one.
You sho’ is green.
Bet you can’t tell what kisses
are good for anyway.
Their face value, of course.
Jim, I saw you coming out of a
saloon this morning.
Well, I had to come out, I could
not stay in. there all day.
How’s business.
Business would be good but for
one thing.
What’s that.
It’s rotten.
i
He: (talking over the telephone).
Yes, she is out. I don’t know where.
She doesn’t tell me her business.
You must remember that I am just
her husband.
A baby is like a grain of wheat be
cause, first it’s got to be cradled,
then thrashed before it becomes fit
for family use, and finally becomes
the flower of the family.
Before man’s marriage he’s a dude;
after marriage he’s subdued. Before
marriage he swears he would not
marry the best woman in the world;
after marriage he finds that he
hasn’t.
(
Percy—My wife’s a fine shot. She
can hit a dollar,
every time.
Harold —That’s nothing, my wife
goes through my trousers and never
misses a dime.
Dull Wit.
At a party one day I asked: "‘Whv
is a penny like a missionary,” and as
no one answered, I. replied, j “Re
cause it is one cent (sent) by God.”
Avery dull student was presenfj
and at the next party he thought he
would spring it. "Why is five cents
like a missionary,” he asked. Silence.
"Because it is five cents by God.”
A laugh went up at his expense.
Our Industrous Country.
We hear today complaint of hard
times. We can stand on the corner,
and hear men cry hard times. Why
don’t they go to work. Borrow axe,
saw* and jimmy and go down to the
bank, and you can safely say you
have made money. They complain
of no money. Some say it is the
Jerome bill, some say the Wilson
bill, some say Buffalo Bill, but it
is the lack of the good old Dollar
Bill. We are now in a country of
90 million strong, marching iu the
foremost tune, the beating of th’e
drum of the 20th century. Meeting
men—famous men. Men you don’t
meet every day, they only come out
nights. We are living in the greatest
county in the United States. And
wf are pushing it forward. The next
thing you know we will push the d-n
thing in the ocean We have a great
Navy, so has Japan, both chewing
and smoking. Rhssia has the largest
Army both standing and setting. If
Russia could get Japan’s Army to
march out in the ocean they woulu
lick them. We have the greatest’
machinery in the world. We have
today a machine making 70 million
hair pins a day and yet there is not
enough hair pins made to keep a
single hair out of the butter. When
Christopher Columbus of Columbus,-
Ohio, sighted American soil, he rush
ed in his cabin, grabbed pen and ink
and then wrote the Declaration of
Independence.
LOONEY ENGAGEMENTS.
Moon-Star.
We announce with pleasure the en
gagement of Mr. Lunus Moon to Miss
Venice Star, the wedding to take
place on Good Friday. The question
is will the skyrocket if Mrs. Moon
is in the Milky Way.
