WINDER NOT SO BAD.
I
A special dispatch from Winder
to tiie Athens Banner says thirty-fcui
blind tigers were placed on trial
here this week. It is true that a
burr-head negro and a white stool
pigeon representing some kind of a
detective agency have spent a couple
ci weeks in Winder and Monday ul
.Mayor’s court swore positively that
they had purchased liquor from cer
tain persons. The greater num
ber of convictions, more was the;
money the sleuths received, as the
contract to clean up Winder was tak
en upon the piece system, as it were
at so much per swear. We are
loathe to believe that so many blind
tigers could pussy-foot about in the
small territory of Winder lest a few
of them should occasionally crawl
between the legs of someone mem
her of our efficient police department
We have selected Winder as our
home, and we believe that it is just
as good a town morally as there can
be found in the State. The two hire
lings gave their testimony for a
price and it was to their financial
interest to swear falsely. There ur<
blind tigers in most every city in
Georgia, and there are some at Win
der, but we refuse to accept the
paid testimony of professional swear
ers in preference to that of some of
our best colored citizens, and we are
inclined to the belief that “the pro;,
er authorities” have been imposed
upon by a couple of expert liars.
The right kind of advertising is
profitable, but the article in the
Athens Daily Banner in reference to
a blind-tiger crusade here never dii
Winder any good. The sensational
publicity seeker is not the man
worth while to a progressive town.
We have some dirty linen, but L
dot s not overshadow our manufact
uring enterprises, business interests
our schools and our churches. The
best citizens of a municipality have
little concern with the recorder's
court and the actions which take
place there are of small moment to
tiie general public. Any attempt
to magnify its importance into a sen
sation and ride the wave into public
view is disgusting to those who are
lending their energies to a substan
tial growth of the town.
Mr. J. B. Jordon, of Hoschton, was
in Winder last Thursday. Mr. Jor
dan has been a subscriber to The
News ever since our connection with
this paper, and he called upon us to
pay his annual respects.
