The man who is looking fpr trou

ah are.
Nineteen lynchings in Georgia
since January 1. Yet there are thosi
in the state who get offended if out
siders call us a state of law-breakers
All we have to say is, pour it on.
We deserve it.
Kansas has 77,000 automobiles regis
tered. Every other family in Paw
nee county has an automobile. VN as
it Sockless Jerry, Carrie Nation and
prohibition which placed the State
on wheels.
Speaking upon the subject, “Save
the Boys,” a noted preacher says too
much emphasis put on repair work
and not enough on prevention. “1 do
not want my boy to wallow in the
mire and have some evangelist draw
him out." ■
American ship builders have de
clined to build the two fleet subma
rines authorized by congress last
year, because of a stipulation that
the vessel shall have a surface
speed of 20 knots. Only one bidder,
the Electric Boat Company, came
within the limit of $1,5000,000 set for
each vessel. Its bid has been nulli
fied by the department because it
could not meet the speed require
meat.
The LaG range Graphic intimate:
11 at Jack Slaton might be responsi
sible for The Atlanta Georgian
dropping some Georgia weeklies Iron:
its exchange list. No so. If there
is a weekly paper in the state that
has believed in the honesty, integri
ty, sincerity and high purposes of
Slaton, it is The Winder News, and
The Georgian erased to make its vis
its to our desk. And if you will keep
it stciit, just bttvvetn us, we don’t
care, anyhow.
When war was first dt dared in
the Old World, t'ncie Sam sent ships
across the waters to bring Ameri
cans home. Now it is highly prob
able that the same Uncle Sam. is
going to involve the real citizens of
tin- Unit and States in war over the
rights <1 globe-trotters to return to
Europe. President Wilson asys in
ternational law gives Americans the
inalienable right to ride armed ves
sels of belligerent nations. The pres
ident also declares himself an advo
cate of peace. Maybe so, but we fail
to draw a mental picture of the dove
of peace with a gun under its wing.
There is a big row going on and
the tax payers and wealth producers
of America are exceedingly anxious
that this government steer clear of
the fuss. To bur mind the American
Congress should have adopted the
Gore resolution and said to American
citizens, "If- you ride armed vessels
flying the flags of belligerent na
tions into the war zones you do so
at your own risk.” Does the father
who admonishes his son not to place
a gun in his pocket and rush into a
riot act the part of a coward or lose
the respect of his neighbors. We
think not.
WHOSE TIME IS IT?
The time is approaching for the
election of a senator from the Thirty
Third Senatorial district.
Under the rotation system, we
rise to ask which county Is to fur
nish the candidate this year?
Banks held the senatorship when
our bill was introduced, Jackson held
it when it passed and Hall holds it
now.
Isn't it Barrow's time? We think
o. And Barrow has excellent sen
atorial timber.
We would like to hear from e
Chairman of the district committee.
We are itching to suggest a Barrcw
aounty son for the position .
OPEN LETTER TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
March Bth, 1916.
Hon. W. O. Perry and Members of
the City Council of Winder:
From your action last night, 1
presume that you have ascertained
the tax value of permit, or license
for operating lair, namely, $250. We
know of no legal or moral reason
why the City can grant a license
for a money consideration to one
party and deny the same license and
privilege to another party, therefore,
we tender you our check for $250
duly signed and ask that ycu grant
us license and privilege of conduct
ing the Woodruff North Georgia Fair
in the same let and location that
was used by us last year. Said per
mit to cover the same privileges
granted to Mr. Flanigan, and to cov
er such amusements and attrac
tiens as are usually conducted
at county fairs. We ask for this priv
ilege for the week of October 2-7 in
clusive. This being the established
date of our fairs. We want the li
cense issued in the name of the fair
that we have operated here three
times before.
On acceptance of this check please
write out whatever form of license
you have prepared to cover tiie
agreement.
We further agree to install our
own electric light wires and water
pipes and to pay regular meter rates
for be th lights and water.
Yours truly,
Woodruff North Georgia. Fair.
By G. W. Woodruff.
FLANIGAN AND FLANIGAN
Will Hold Fair in Winder this Fall.
At a regular meeting of the Mayor
and Council Tuesday night. Mr. G.
W. Woodruff and Mr. P. A. Flanigan
appeared before Council asking for
tiii‘ usual Pair privileges accorded
in the past. .Mr. Woodruff appeared
in the interest of Woodruff Hetrdwun
Company., and Mr. Flanigan appeare
in li e interest of Flanigan & Flan
igan, i< presenting a stock company.
As is generally known to the pub
lie:, the city of Winder lias previous
ly granted water and light privileges
and wiling, piubirg, etc. to this en
terprise.
It appears that Mr. Woodruff offer
ed in 1. is application to do all
wiring and plumbing at his own ex
pense and pay the regular water and
light meter rate. It also appears that
Mr. Flanigan also offered to pay for
all wiring aid plumbing, etc., pay
for the water and lights at meter
rates and give tlie city the sum of
$250.00 cash for tine privilege of lipid
ing the Fair in Winder.
The Council, thinking it to be the
best interest of Winder to call these
two gentlemen before the council
and determine the matter Tuesday
night, offered the privileges as
above mentioned to the highest bid
der.
The bid of Mr. Flanigan to pay for
all wiring, plumbing and water and
lights at meter rates and a bonus
of $250.00 In cash for the privileges
prevailed, and same were granted to
Mr. Flanigan.
Let’s look forward to a great fair
this fall and all go down the midway
and have a good time.
P. A. FLANIGAN.
Announces for Tax Receiver.
In this issue appears the announce
ment of Mr. S. P. Smith for Tax
Reciveer of Barrow county. Mr.
Smith is probably known to more
Barrow county citizens than any oth
er man in the county He has lived
in this territory for mere than forty
jlears. While his home, for some fif
teen years, has been in Winder, he
has spent practically all of his time
in the country selling fruit trees. He
has never before sought office of any
kind, and we believe him to be thor
oughly competent to fill the one he
now aspires to. No doubt many
friends will rally to his support and
It will take a sprinter to beat him
to the goal.

Coftege of Agricutare Experi
ments With Velvet Beans
John R. Fain. Frofaaoor Agronomy
Ga. Stata Collage Of Agriculture.
Tho College of Agriculture is
lng to determine which varieties ot
the velvet bean is best adapted to
Georgia conditions To this end it l
conducting tests in various parts of
the state. At tho present time the
results of only one year's test > avail
able, and these are taken frv>m the
College plats and raav be said to :ndi
cate what varieties are best suited to
the piedmont region, though more then
one year's results should be looked to
for a determination of the matter.
All of the varieties were planted
May 21. Seventeen were used m the
tests. The pound of seed per acre ts
the basis of comparison Very few of
the varieties proved of sny worth on
this basis. The variety known as “Me
dium Early" matured November 5 and
yielded 1,225 pounds of seed per acre
“Jack Bean" proved the sec
ond beat yielder. The seed
are. however, not palatable to
cattle, and are somewhat indigesti
ble. The highest yield was S2S pounds
per acre and from that down to 154
pounds per acre. The ordinary Mexi
can Stock Bean gave 602 pounds per
acre. This bean is palatable, and ma
tured November 1, one of the earliest.
The experiments will be continued
for another year, crops being grown
both in north Georgia and south Geor
gia.

Be not angry at table, no matter
what happens.
Make friends with those of good
character; it is better to be alone
than in bad company.
Let your heart feel for afflictions,
and distresses of every one.
It is a maxim with me not to ask
what, under similar circumstances, I
would not grant.
Be courteous to all, but intimate
with few, and let those be ttried be
fore you give them your confidence.
Pity is akin to love. Love is blind
and all the world loves a lover.
