DR. ANDREW J. SHEDD
ON COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM.
Hon. W. H. Burwell, Speaker of the
Georgia House, Will Deliver
Literary Address.
The Board of Education has
been fortunate in securing two not
ed Georgians to participate in this
( year’s Commencement program.
Dr. Andrew J. Shedd, noted divine
and educator, has accepted an invi
tation to preach the commencement
fc '\mon, and the people of this sec
tion will have an opportunity to hear
something worth while in the way of
sermons.
Dr. Shedd is on the faculty of Em
ory college, and is a pulpit orator
of note.
Popular W. H. Burwell, speaker of
the Georgia’s House of Represen
tatives, has consented to deliver the
lit; rary address.
This is a happy selection. Be
sides being a brilliant Georgian, a
fine parliamentarian and an orator,
Barrow county, outside of local in
terests, never had a better or truer
friend than William H. Burwell, of
Hancock.
Council is rushing things on the
school building, and will have ev
erything ready for commencement ex
ercises to be held in the large audi
torium.
PRAISE WHERE PRAISE
BELONGS.
Heretofore we have found some
things to condemn in the action of
the mayor and city council, and
when that body takes a stand that
we believe to be right, we are more
than glad to give our public approv
al.
In the past excessive fees for “Spe
cial Services” have been exceeding
ly liberal in several instances, not
only under the present administra
' t/m, but under administrations for
several years back.
But the present mayor and council
handled the pruning knife effective
ly at a recent session, and their
action should meet the approval of ev
ery taxpayer in the city, and we be-
ve it will when the facts are
uown.
We would not presume to put a
•ice on the labor of another, still
takes two to strike a bargain, but
day of the automobiles, wars
lying machines we fear that
ord “expert - ’ is often confus-
IY|h “extortion.”

3ARROWS FIRST PRIMARY
PASSES OFF QUIETLY.
\
Hill, Williams, Still, and Lackey
Winners. —Two of Contests
Close.
Winder’s first primary election,
held Wednesday, passed off quietly.
About 1850 of the 2300 registered
voters went to the polls and regis
tered their approval of practically
all of the present officers. Only one
man, Mr. J. W. Nowell, of the pres
ent officers who offered for an en
dorsement term, was defeated.
The large vote polled by Ordinary
Hill is proof conclusive that the
people are satisfied with the way he
has conducted the affairs of his
office, and his friends are elated at
the handsome majority he received.
The campaign in Barrow was with
out bitterness, therefore there will
be left no sores. Barrow has a lot
of good men to fill lier offices, but
all of them cannot serve at once.
The voters have again registered
their will. Lets all get behind the
ones chosen to serve us and-push
Barrow on toward the front among
the progressive counties of the
state.
The tabulated statement in this
issue is not official in every instance
but it is approximately correct.

Carithers will introduce and have
passed the necessary legislation to
put the salary system in operation.
