HEART FELT APPRECIATION
FOR LTBERAL SUPPORT.
Never Since We Took Charge of The
News Have We Had Occasion to
Co.mplain for Want of
Patronage.
Our advertisers have forced us to
sixteen pages this week. They want
our seventeen hundred subscribers
and their families to know that they
have winter goods for sale. This is
not a booster edition. It is simply
one of the regular issues of The Win
der News.
This is written for the purpose of
expressing to our subscribers and ad
vertising patrons a heart felt appre
ciation for their liberal patronage.
Since casting our lot in the newspa
per field here we have never at any
time had cause to complain on ac
count of lack of patronage; w'e have
v given and are still giving our best ser
vice in an effort) to produce a reada
ble weekly, worthy of the confidence.
The paper goes into almost every
home in the immediate territory of
"Winder, and while the advertisers
are saying to our readers, “Come let
us show you our goods,” we feel that
by their liberal patronage they are
also saying to us, “Well done.”
The most important thing in this
edition is the label on your paper.
See that it has an advance date, then
read the advertising columns to se
*lect your winter supply of goods. The
remainder of the edition is simply fil
lers that may be read at leisure mo
ments.
If the paper pleases you, then re
new your subscription and tell our pa
one that you saw their advertise
ments in The News. If the paper
does not please you, pay up your sub
scription and tell us.

Theft.
The Ford automobile stolen from
near the fair grounds during the
Wcodruff fair, has been recovered.

McCullers lives near Loganville, in
Waltcn county, and is said to be
long to an excellent family.
The stolen car belonged to a negro

the car, was paid over to the Tiennes

It is said that this negro woman,
when she purchased the car, paid
$135 in nickels, dimes and quarters,
money she had saved evidently from
her fees for washing clothes.

wholesale prices on men’s and womei
footwear have been advanced 50 to
75 cents a pair within the last seven
ty-two hours and certain lines have
been withdrawn entirely from the
market owing to a big shortage in
leather . More demand for cotton.
Cotton was quoted in Atlant/i at
17c Monday, and it was selling as
high as 18c on the streets of Winder.

for business, representatives of for
eign concerns have to “go some” to
move cotton out of tfhis territory be

terprise.

WINDER COTTON MARKET
BEST IN COTTON BELT.
Buyers Here Pay 18 7-8 c for Spot
Co'tton Wednesday Morning. Long
Staple Brought 25c.
Winder is now leading the entire
cotton belt in prices paid for the sta
ple. All day Tuesday of this week
when other markets were P®y in g l#c
per pound and less, the buyers here
were giving 18 l-4c., and this arti
cle is being written Wednesday morn
the market strong and on the rise.
A prominent cotton buyer told the
writer that he was paying the above
price for all the cotton he could get
and if he could not get it at that
price he was going to pay more, as
he intended to purchase the cotton
offered him or burst a trace. He
showed us a letter from a New York
cotton factor commenting on the ex
ceedingly strong market at Winder,
and while discussing the letter and
the prevailing prices here a reason
for the top market dawned upon the
editor, who is not a cotton expert.
We have worked hard plowing and
picking the staple, but we can’t dis
tinguish a “dog” from a No. 1.
It seems that the cotton raised in
this territory is of superior qualiy,
and when properly graded it natural
ly commands a better price.
The buyers rely on their own expe
rience as to grade in purchasing
from the farmers, and then employ
an expert grader to sift the cotton
down to a gnat’s heel. None of the
staple leaves Winder until it is thor
oughly graded and numbered. The su
perior quality sustains the buyers in
paying the better price, and with
seventy-saw gins and a compress to
facilitate the handling of the staple
Winder is enabled to successfully
compete with any market in the
state.
We have five banks with plenty of
money to buy, the best grade of cot
ton in the Peidmont belt and the fa
cilities to handle the staple from the
field to the loom.
Wie are building a city here.
Mrs. Eberhart Hostess.
Mrs. A. S. Eberhart was hostess
to the Missionary Society of the
First Methodist church at her home
on Monday afternoon from three-thir
ty to five-thirty. Quite a number of
ladies were present and an unusual
ly interesting program was enjoyed.
A short business meeting was held
after which caane a delightful social
hour.
in conclusion a tempting salad
course was served the guests. The
next regular meeting of the society
will be announced later. The attend
ance of the members has been quite
excellent for the past few months,
the meetings have been interesting
and a great amount of good has been
accomplished. The society is grow-
J
ing, not only in attendance, but in
influence and power, and great
things are hoped for it in the com
ing months and years.
Governor Denies Interview.
Macon News: It is very gratifying
to note that Governor Harris has no
intention of making a speechmaking
tour over the state for the purpose o.
telling a few things about Governor
elect Hugh M. Dorsey. The governor
promply denied the interview credite
to him. We had doubts about the
statement at the time as we thought
the governor had too much sense to
make such a move. His repudiation ol
the interview will be pleasing to his
many friends in Georgia.
The Georgia broops, including boys
from Winder leave Macon today for
El Paso, to go then to Fprt Bliss.
They will be in service as the troops
which are now going home have been
and the experience will be of value
in many ways and a welcome change
for the boys from the humdrum cam]
life at Macon.
’WE’RE BUILDING A CITY HERE’
SLOGAN BEING FULFILLED.
Fifty Thousand Dollar Corporation
Manufacture Ladies Dresses, Etc.
Organiezd.
•
In this issue of The News appears
an application by Messrs. R. L. Ca
rithers, G. W. Woodruff, J. L. Saul,
and H. A. Ptry, for a charter for
The Winder Manufacturing Company,
anew enterprise to be organized for
the purpose of manufacturing ladies’
dresses, etc. The capital stock of
this new corporation will be fifty
thousand dollars, and that it will be
a successful enterprise goes without
saying, for, when such men as the
promoters of this new enterprise un
dertake anything of this character, it
is air ady a success.
The large brick building on the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, formerly
used by Winder Foundry and Ma
chine Works, will be remodeled and
put in first class condition, and in
the front part of it this new corpo
ration will have its home.
This is in line with What Winder
needs a number ofi comparatively
small manufacturing industries that
will afford work for a number of peo
pie, and cause • people to move into
the City for the purpose of obtaining
such employment as can be afforded
by these new enterprises.
There is every evidence of pros
perity in Winder, and the ring of the
hammer is being heard in every sec
tion of the City.
Mr. W. B. Mathews has in process
of erection a fine residence on Cand
It r Street, and Dr. S. T. Ross will
begin the erection of a handsome
home on the* lot where he now re
sides.
The n w Compress has begun its
operation, and already there are evi
dences that Winder’s importance as
a cotton center has been greatly in
creased by reason of the concentra
tion of cotton from all the territory
around her.
Mr. James W. Nichols, and these
associated with him will open up in
the rear part of the Old Foundry
Building on the seaboard Air Line
Railway an up to date Marble Cut
ting establishment, and the same
class of work that is now being ship
ped into this section from McNeel
Marble Cos. and others in that line
of business, will be done right here
at home,, and this enterprise will
open up employment for a number of
people, and will be equipped with
modern machinery of all kinds.
“We are building a City here,”
and the continued employment of
capital in the promotion of enter
prises that will give work t 0 the
people, and a harmony among our
people for the best interest of the
C:ty, and for the promotion of her
welfare, is a sure token that pros
perity has come to Winder to stay,
and that the City of our dreams will
some day be a realization.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
Wednesday afternoon a little after
5 o’clock, Eastern time, many Windei
people felt tremors of the earth The
greatest excitement was created at
the Granite Hotel, where the disturb
ance was most distinctly felt locally.
The Asosciated Press dispatches
tell us two distinct earthquake
shocks were felt through western
Georgia, eastern Alabama and Ten
nessee.
Some instances were reported of
frame buildings being shaken and
chimneys were knocked down.
The worst damage was around Bir
mingham and Montgomery. It consist
ed mostly of wrecked chimneys.
Brand new line of laces just arriv
ed. Lace beading, beading and edge

MAYOR PERRY DECLINES
SECOND TERM AS MAYOR-
Sa'crifice of Personal Affairs To*
Great to Serve for Another
Term.
To The Citizens of Winder:
Fir me to have even refused to
consider the solicitations to offer for
mayor to succeed myself, would not
have been proper and 1 know iL
I have considered the matter thor
oughly from every standpoint and I
cannot get my consent to accept Die
honors you have so kindly given \ne
in the past or offer me at presenL
I would never have offered for
mayor two years ago except for the
issues involved, and then offered af
ter I failed to get someone else to
champion the cause I sincerely be
lieved should be enacted in Winder.
I have given two years of the best
part of my life towards the fulfill
ment of the promises I made you twt
ytars ago. Whether or not 1 Ivawe
succeeded, you must be the judge.
You know in what condition tho
city’s affairs were delivereed and l
told you in a financial statement
some sixty days ago in what condi
tion I would turn them over to my
successor.
When my friends insist that I re
main mayof of Winder two years lon
ger, they ask a favor of me that
is unjust to me, and one they would
not ask if they knew of the sacrii
fice I have made in my personal af
fairs to deliver the ‘goods’ I promis
ed, and when they take the proper
view of the situation, they can not
fault me for declining to make fur
ther sacrifice.
1 would feel ungrateful to finiah
this statement without thanking a
number of people who formerly op
posed 'me, and especially the editor
of The Winder News. It was rnagnau
inious in Mr. Ross to take the posi
tion he has and I appreciate it per
sonally, and I believe the people gen
erally will appreciate it.
I thank the people for their offer,
but at this time I can not serve.
Yours very respectfully,
W. O. PERRY
