Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
Says John Barleycorn Must Go.
The men who drawl big salaries at
the head of the John I). Rockefeller,
Jr., companies have got to climb on
to the water wagon An Colorado Jan
uary 1, says the Chicago Tribune.
The Bulletin, just issued by the Col
orado Fuel and Iron company', , with
the approval of Mr. Rockefeller, car
risw the startling order. Not only
tte men at the bottom of the shaft
digging coal, but the men wlho sit in
the elaborately furnished offices in
Denver, are included. Here are some
nuggeste from the Ballet in:
“The man who spends Ms money
for booze is not on the road to suc
cess, whether he be coal diggeer, e
steel plant worker, or an officer of
the company. The men who break
records for getting out coal, and
those who draw the highest wages,
are not the ones who spend the most
time in the saloons.
“Exercising your arm lifting glasses
does not give you the kind of
strength that puts a punch into
your work* with the pick ’’
“Cut it Out,’’ He Urges.
John D’s Bulletin appeals to all
employes of the company to climb c J
the wagon and ‘cut it out altogether.’
He also serves notice that the one
offense for which they will be dis
charged without notice /. ill be drunk
enness and bootlegging.
Further says the bulletin:
“After the new law goes into ef
fect someone may start a blind ti
ger near your camp or plant, or a
bootlegger may try to smuggle in
bad whiskey. These men are not
only violating the law! but they are
trying to continue the liquor traffic
In its most harmful form. They de
serve nothing except to be denounc
ed to the proper authorities.
Recreation Rooms Planned.
*‘Do not think that the closing of
the saloon will deprive you of a
place of amusement, or drive 1 you tc
leave your camp and seek some il
legal dive. As soon after January
1 as it can be arranged, there will
be buildings or recreation rooms at
most of the camps. Employers art
urged to make use of them to the
fullest extent.
Cooalrdo’s Prohibition Law to Bene
fit Indians.
In the opinion of Chief Special Of
ficer Henry A. Larsen of the Unit
ed States Indian service, the South
ern Utes, the only Indians left in
Colorado, will be materialy benefit
ted by state-wide prohibition. In
an interview with Mr. Larsen, re
por;ed in the Denver Times, he says:
“There has been considerable boot
legging among the Southern Ute In
dians in Colorado, despite the activ
ity of the Ute agent, Mt. West, in
trying to prevent it.
“Most of the bootlegging among
the Indians has been done by Mex
icans, who are hard to reach. State-
wide prohibition is going to make
things much easier. At least it has
done so in c-ther states, and there
is no reason to suppose that Colo
rado’s case will differ materially fron
tbs others.
“Arizona presents a remarkable ex
ample of what prohibition can do
for the Indians, when the laws ar<j
rightly enforced. Of course Arizo
na is what might be called an ex
treme case for the season that its
Indian popu’ation is excessive, there
being 27,000 full-bloods there. But.
from every reservation in the state
comes assurance that one year of
prohibition has helped'the Indians
amzaingly.
“The superintendent of the Fort
Yuma school, in California, which b
just across the river from Yuma,
reports that the change in the In
dians is nothing short of wonderful
since Arizona’s prohibition lawi went
Into effect the first of the year.
“During the year not one Yuma In
dian has been known to take an in
toxicating drink, whereas there have
been as high as ten drunken Indians
to deal with in a single day before
prohibition became operative.’—Un
ion Signal. i | | _j !
MORE HISTORY
Many writers have spent time and
talent in saying nice things of old
people some of whom have long
since been shouting harmonious an
thems im that heavenly mansion
while others perhaps have been moan
ing their sad state in the region of
despair.
These nice sayings of old people
is nothing amiss, but why not say
something of the young that might
stand out as a beacon light or help
them to form in their mind ideals
of the great, good and noble.
I shall give you a few paragraphs
of young* men of. today.
On the waiters 'of Cedar Creek
then Jackson, now) Barrow county,
and on the 10-th of October, 1870,
was born one we know as Hi am
Nixon Rainey. The name Hiram was
that of his father, but the name Nix
on was taken from lvis great grand
mother, Hannah Nixon Pendergrass.
In his boyhood he went to school
to Anna Kytle, Ella House, L. A.
House and Molly Copeland. From
these rural schools he went to Au
burn and at the age of 18 years en
tered Mercer University, stayed there
three years. Following this was *
course in a commercial school at Ma
con. In both of these colleges lie
came out with honorary marks.
He came home and began business
With his father. He wed in July,
1901, to Susdte Cornelia Randolph, a
daughter of Hill Randolph, of Jack
son county. She litvedi only twelve
years with her husband and died or.
March 13, 1913. Her remains were
laid An the cemetery at Winder.
The father of 11. N. Rainey, Jr.,
Was H. N. Rainey, Sr., a Missionary
Baptist preacher, who was born on
May 11, 1845, and was ordained to
preach the 9'th of June, 1869, by Rev.
J. M. Davis l . H. N. Rainey, Sr., is
loved and admired by all those
with whom be comes in contact.
The mother was Amanda Bagwell
a daughter of the widow Nancy Har-
per Bagwell. She was bora in South
Carolina and knew! howt to economize
and take care of that which the good
husband made. She is a devoted
Christian and imparted to her son,
knowledge that its lasting.
The paternal grandfather was
Irwin Rainey, the maternal grand
father was a South Carolinian, both
just good, honest tillers of the soil.
The maternal grandmother was Nan
cy Harper Bagwell. The paternal
grandmother was EmaJline Rainey
I shill never forget grandma Rainey.
When I was six years old 1 was sick
with a fever. I got out of bed
when all was asleep and in my weak
ness fell in a fire. I got badly
burned. Mother was not able to wad l
on me. Grandma Rainey came and
waited on me for three weeks. So
when I think of my suffering, and
this good lady’s patience and kind
ness to me the tears will flow.
The great grandfather on the
mother’s side was Nathaniel Pender
grass. He was employed by Robert
White to superintend a woolen mill
on the waters of Cedar creek. He
wrus buried at White’s cemetery two
and a half miles north of Winder.
From Nathan Pendergrass there came
quite a lot of descendants, whom
some day I hope to write up.
In 1912 the citizens of Jackson,
county called for an upright, honest
and fearless man to go to the leg
islature. The father objected to
the son’s makrhg the race, but af
ter a while H. N. Rainey, .Jr., was
in and running at a pace never be
fore known in old Jackson county,
and he was elected by a good ma
jority, with but a short time to
work.
He filled liis place so well he was
urged to run again, but business pi t
vented him from running.
This year was a critical one. Pol
itics ran high. Barrow county w r a.
to be won or lost. 11. N. Rainey
threw his w hole soul into the wr.rl
and when a bit of cash was net ded
he shelled it down without a mur
mer.
He is a man of few words, bu
wh/;n he has spoken something i.
sa’d that counts.
He was clerk of the Council cl
Winder from 1911 to 1914 —4 years
Xo set of city hooks were bettet
kept and every penny of the city’;
money was accounted for, each
amount to its proper department. He

Colds
should be "nipped in the
bud", for if allowed to run
unchecked, serious results
may follow. Numerous
cases of consumption, pneu
monia, and other fatal dis
eases, can be traced back to
a cold. At the first sign of a
cold, protect yourself by
thoroughly cleansing your
system with a few doses of
THEDFORD'S
BLACK
DRAUGHT
the old reliable, vegetable
liver powder.
Mr. Chas. A. Ragland, o-
Madison Haights, Va., says:
•'i have been using Thed
ford’s Black-Draught for
stomach troubles, indiges
tion and colds, and find ittofa
be the very best medicine I
ever used. It makes an old
man feel like a young one."
Insist on Thcdford’s, the
original and genuine. E-67

that kept the grumbler from finding
a clue by- which he could, kick the
harder.
H. N. Rainey, Jr., is a modest
young man and knows nothing of
this article.
I shall follow this artice with kind
words of some other deserving char
acter. C. M. Thompson.
