' BUMBLEBEE OUT THE DOOR
Out the door there’s a bumblebee;
His steady hum keeps a-calling me —
A stirrin’ o’ my fishin’ moods.
Wish that bumblebee would hush;
Seems I smell a sweetshrub bush —
Hear duckings at little broods.
So much fuss, fightin’ an’ such
People already know too much,
What's the use tellin’ ’em more?
A fellow jest can’t keep from wishin’
To be on river banks a-fishin’
When a bumblebee’s out the door.
It is quite likely that Congressman
Tom Bell will have opposition—two
years hence.
‘Tis said, “Self praise is half
scandal.” If ’tis done at the expense
of others is it a calamity?
It should not consume a great deal
of time to feel the pulse of the dear
people in Barrow. They appear to
have a very healthy thump.
The Atlanta Constitution has dis
covered Winder and the new county
of Barrow. Reminds us of a wife
buying the old man a box of stogies
for a Christmas present and calling
upon hubby to pay the bill.
Our editorial utterances are not
for sale and that is the general rule
with country weeklies, but to com
ply strictly with the postal laws
some editorials in the Atlanta dai
lies should be marked “advertise
ment.”
The importation of luxuries from
America has been barred by the
British. The room on ships is to
be saved for wheat and meats ex
ported from America. Autos for pri
vate use, musical instruments, cut
lery, hardware, yarns, chinaware,
fancy goods and soaps are among the
articles barred
HELD-UP.
A Typographical Union tourist held
us up this week for bed and board
over Sunday with a promise to work
for us during the week. He made his
get-away early Monday morning for
parts unknown.
There is one country editor who is
getting tired of the hold-up games
practiced by men of organized labor.
Taking only our nine years expe
rience as a country editor for a
guide, a Typographical Union card
is , nothing more than a badge of
rascality.
Advertise for a printer and a mem
ber of the union is the first man on
the ground to look the job over at
the expense of the proprietor. He
comes in hungry apd the first thing
to be done is to make ‘arrangements
for eats.’ He ‘piddles’ around for
half a day, learns that there is w r ork
to be done and decides that he does
not want t lie job at the price. He knew
the price when he answered the ad.
but thought he would spend a vaca
tion in tlie country whittling white
pine. and a*
It is small wonder that the honest
country printer steers clear of the
union. Experience teaches him that
the craft is composed of hungry beg*
gars and dead-beats.
When too many unionists congre
gate in near-by-cities these fellows
make small towns, tell of their trav
els with a glib tongue, ask for work,
plead hunger and beg a quarter from
everyone in the print-shops from the
devil up. If treated well and prom
ised work they run away. If denied
alms they pass on ’’cussin’ out the
town.” They are always hungry, but
work is the last think they are look
ing for.
We shall have something to say
(upon this subject at the next meet
■ig of the Weekly Press Association,
which convenes at Decatur, near At
lanta.
Barrow county needs good roads,
and most of these fellows are husky.
Aspirants for the office of sheriff
of Barrow county just at this time
should study well the question pro
pounded to the school boy: “Should
an irresistible force come in contact
with an immovable object, what
would be the result? Safety first.
This issue of The News is due to
the efforts of Rev. W. H. Kaust, Su
perintendent Holsenbeck, and The
News force. It is gladly published
complimentary to the cause of ed

Winder or the County of Barrow.
FOR ORDINARY.
Yielding to the urgent solicitation
of many of my friends, I hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for the
office of Ordinary of Barrow coun
ty, subject to the Democratic prima
ry of May 10,.
I recognize the important duties of
this bffice, and I also realize that it
is a great sacrifice to the man wht
does his full duty.
But so many friends have urged
me to enter the race, that I can hard
ly say no, and I pledge every taxpay
er of the county, to look after the
financial interest in the most
economical way possible.
And I also want every dollar avail
able put on the public roads of our
county before any other improve
ments are made, and I would be high
ly in favor of issuing bonds for this
purpose only.
Should the voters of Barrow county
see fit to elect me to this honorable
office, I will attend to every duty
involved therein to the very best of
my ability, and will appreciate youj*
votes and will assure each one every
courtesy within my power.
Yours very respectfully,
W. T. ROBINSON.
FOR TREASURER.
I respectfully announce myself a
candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Barrow county, subject to the ac

vote and influence will be greatly ap
preciated. J. L. LACKEY.
FOR TAX RECEIVER
After considering the solicitations
of many friends I respectfully an
nounce myself a candidate for the
office of Tax Receiver subject to the
action of the Primary to be held May
10th. S. M. GRIZZLE.
