Small Fire Monday Night.
Fire Monday night destroyed a
five-room cottage on DeLaperriere
Hights, near Midland avenue. The
inmates of the house were sleeping
very soundly and knew nothing of
the fire until alarmed from the out
side. The blaze had gained such
headway, that voluntary firemen
could do nothing to check the flames
when they arrived.
B. Lawrence, a colored preacher,
ilved in the house and lost praeticaly
all of his household effects. The
property was owned by Minister J.
F. Green, and the building is a com
plete loss, as no insurance was car
ried. The cottage was valued at
about $500.00
Bill Should Pass.
Georgia is one of the three states
which refuse to admit women law
yers to practice in the courts. There
fore, Mrs. Hale horught a test case
which was appealed to the Supreme
Court. Meanwhile the legislature of
Georgia is considering a bill which
will permit women to become attor
news. The Atlanta Constitution has
a fine editorial in which it sums up
the situation: “The Georgia legisla
ture cannot afford not to pass this
bill. The present law is an anach
ronism clogging real progres. We
should lead at least the three re
maining states, and restore to wom
an a right that ought never to have
been taken away.”
In Honor of Guest.
An enjoyable event of the week
socially was the picnic given Tuesda
evening by Miss Marguerite Jackson
to about twenty of her guests. A de
lightful automobile ride, chaperoned
by Mrs. T. C. Dunn and Mrs. Jack
son was made to Parks Mill, then
bathing in the pond was indulged in.
Supper was spread about 8:30, after
which the hostess and her guests re
turned to the city.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY AND THE CITY OF WINDER.
CONDITION OF HIGHWAY
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Tourists Turning ty Way of Athens.
Jackscn and Earrow Should Do
Some Read Work.
Complaint is being made by \ the
citizens of Harrow and Jackson coun
ties of the condition of the Winder
and Jefferson road.
This road has had but little work
done upon it since it was graded by
the Jackson county authorities sever
ul years ago and in many places it
is almost unfit for travel, even with
light vehicles. For loaded teams and
auto vehicle traffic it is worse.
Since the cstaUiilijnent of the New
York, Atlanta highway the link be
tween these two towns has 1 always
been a dreaded stretch to tourists,
and now these counties, by their care
lessness over the matter, bid fair to
lose the travel and commercial ben
efit the highway gives them,
Neither Jefferson nor Winder can
afford to allow this, nor is it treat
ing the large and influential citizen
ship of Jackson and Barrow counties
living along this road, right to refuse
or fail to give them a good read.)
The condition of the highway has
been brought to the attention of the
Commissioner of Roads of Jackson
and the Ordinary of Barrow, and the
citizens affected ty it should insist
that it be remedied.
Good roads mean increased land
values, increased trade and increased
pleasures and no community, town or
county can afford to allow its roads
become its drawback or disgrace.)
Especially at this time is it nec
essary that this road be placed in
good shape, as it is right in t the
midst of the tourist season and hun
dreds of parties are forced to pass
over it daily. No road crossing into
Winder brings to town, more commer
cial business, and the crops will soon
begin to move. I
Farmers, merchants and citizens
alike are affected by it, and the au
thorities should take such steps as
are necessary to repair it at once.

Beavers Got His.
Chief Beavers of the Atlanta po
lice force has been suspended. A
gang of dirty politicians, backed up
by lawbreakers, sports and a few
good citizens who care more for the
good name of their city than they
do for law and order, some time ago
marked him for the toboggan slide.
Atlanta has suffered much at the
hands of Woodward, Jackson and
Beavers, but it is really amusing to
see Atlanta papers condemning Jack
son for writing The Bulletins, while
they take his money and aid him in
disgracing the Capital City and the
state by publishing them.
Jf these papers believe The Bulle
tins damaging to Atlanta, and they
are, can they be held blameless when
they furnish the means to scatter
disgrace. ,

NO NEW CHARTER THIS YEAR;
FAILED TO FOST NOTICE.
Representative Carithers Did Right ir
Sending Bill Back fer Examina
tion by the Fecple.
The present Alayor announced dur
ing his campaign his desire for a
new charter and he 1 was in office
practically six months when the leg
islature convened, lie had all of
that time to call a meeting of the cit
iz.e.ns to appoint a charter commit
tee io see that the interests of all
the citizens of Winder would be pro
tected in the new grant of authority
by the State. This was not done,
but instead of this open manner of
dealing with the proposed new char
ter set that the people might be in
formed of the laws to be placed over
them, a charter was prepared and
left Winder unseen by any of its cit
izens except the few who were en
gaged in its preparation. To be ex
act, the precious document left Win
der under special delivery on Friday ,
the l&th of July when the legislature |
had been in session for weeks. The
Mayor seemed a bit put out to find
that the representative of all the peo
pile of the City of Winder had ftiil
ed to introduce the new charter bill
and he invited the representative to
a conference to see if the bill could
not be introduced ad least by the fol
lowing Wednesday. He found from
this interview that the bill would
not be introduced at all until it had
been examined by all the citizens
who cared to make an inspection of
it and accordingly it was left in
Winder and infromation was given
out where it could be found for in
spection. On the Wednesday when
it was expected that the bill would
be introduced, a lrage number of cit
izens gathered to hear the proposed
charter read and they voiced their
disapproval of the hill in numerous
ways. The charter desired by the
Mayor gave to the Mayor more pow
er for which he seems to have 1 a
craving; it made it possible for the
Mayor to have a salary of eight hun
dred dollars; it made it possible for
a City Recorder to be fastened upon-'
the groaning tax-payers at a salary
of six hundred dollars a year to look
after the main duties of the Mayor;
it provided that a number of of
fices could be combined so as to pro
vide a nice berth for some favorite
at a fine salary; it made provision
for the possible expenditure of large
sums of the money wrung from the
tax payers to provide entertainments
for delegations, conventions and all
kinds of societies and to spend mon
ey on advertising schemes and for
such like purposes; it provided that
a councilman could remove from the
ward that elected him as the repre
sentative of the people of that
ward and still hold his office; it
made provision that the ward lines
could be changed by council at will
for political sleight of hand, of
course; it left the manner of electing
the board of education to the coun
cil arid it follows that when it
deemed safe to do so the election
would be submitted to the people
but when the council was ‘right’ the
ordinance would be changed to al
low council to make the elotion; it
provides for the Mayor to cause the
arrest and detention of persons with
out any warrant or charge being
preferred against the unfortunate; it
provided for taxes to be due on No
vember Ist when money was not free
in circulation; it provided for costs
and taxes galore; it fail*d to provide
for a commission to hold the sink
ing funds of the city with which to
retire matured and maturing bonds
and making it impossible for council
spend the sink! g funds and mat
ing it impossible for a direct tax to
be levied to retire the bonds* os they
might mature; these being some of
the radical provisions.

REUNION OF DESCENDANTS
OF FAMOUS CAMP SISTERS.
Ebenezer, Jackson Ccuniy Chosen as
Assembly Place. —August 19th
The Date.
The committee appointed to , ar
range for the annual assembling of
the do.se. niants of the three famous
Camp sisters have selected Ebenezer
church, Jackson county, as the place
to gather. The date chosen was Aug
19th.
The program for the occasion will
be announced later.
There are thousands of these de
scendants in Jackson, Walton, Bar
row and Gwinnett counties, and it is
safe to predict that this year the
woods around old Ebenezer will
swarm with kinsfolk.
WILL HAVE SCHOOL.
Owing to the fact that our new
school building will not be completed
in time for the fall term qf Winder
public school, the Impression, has
gotten out that there will be no
school this fall.
We have it on the authority of the
Board of Education that arrange
ments are being made and that the
childn n will be cared for. The board
ha® already selected Superintendent
and teachers and the school will
open the first Monday in September,
as usual.
Of course no building large enough
to house all the scholars can bo
found, but the board informs us
several pi::ces are now being consid
ered, and contracts will be closed as
soon as the meet desirable and con
venient places can be chosen from
among those offered to the board'
Mr. T. A. Robinson has resign
ed hi position with The Bell Overall
Cos., and accepted a position in Tex

the fall. i
Mrs. H. E. Edwards left this morn

operated on today in a hospital in
that city.
There will be an ice cream supper

ing the bill back for an examination,
by the people to be effected and in
so doing showed that he was there tc
represent all of the people.
Wo are informed that the Mayor
undertook to criticise the represen*
tative iu the advertised speech at
City Hall Monday night for not rush
ing such a bill through over the peo
ple without allowing them to know
its contents. The crltfc"sm in the
light of the facts set out above i a
tribute to the representative for his
idea of representing all ttoe people
and not a few self-constituted char
ter writers. The representative is to
be congratulated.
It now develops that the city au
thorities had not only failed to allow
the people to see the new charter but
in their haste tiny failed to pest the
legal notices so as to put the citi
zens on guard and therefore the bill
can not be legally offered urt'l an
other session. Meantime, the peo
ple will be vigilant and a mass meet
ing will doubtless appoint a charter
committee to draft a charter such as
they deeire. i
