CfTY PRIMARY CO'ME'S
WEDNESDAY, NOV. IST.
Look's as if Harmony Ticket Will Go
Through Without Opposition and
the Consequent Scramble.
Next Wednesday is election day
i_x Winder, but unless you consult
the calendar you would hardly think
it possible.
For the first time in several years
a city primary has failed to develop
a heated campaign.
But Winder is going forward with
such leaps and bounds that every
body seems to be satisfied, and po
litcally it looks as if the office must
seek the man rather than the man
the office.
Many of the friends of the present
'mayor were anxious that he con
tinue in office, and if he had agreed
to serve the people another two
years, we feel sure that he would
been elected without opposition,
but owing to business reasons and
the amount of time the office re
%
quires, he declined to again offer for
mayor. Had his decision been favor
able, Mr. L. A. House would have
been on his ticket as alderman at
large.
Mr. House and the excellent gen
tic men on his ticket* are all Winder
business men, and with the backing
of our citizens, we predict for the
incoming administration an era, of
civic prosperity and great achieve
ment.

Mrs. John W. Rowlett State Pres
ident of the National Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teachers Asso
ciations will deliver an address to
the public in the School Auditorium
Monday, Nov. 6th., at three-thirty
oclock. Everybody is given a cor

The foregoing announcement was
handed the News yesterday. \
wish to say in addition that Mrs.
Rowlett is one of the best-known
and most talked of woman in the
South today. She comes to Winder
at the request of the Parent-Teach

thorough treat she has in store w’ill
bd of gr at value to her au li.nce.
The opportunity of hearing note<
speakers, as Mrs. Rowlett is known
to be, does not come to the people
of Winder every day nor even every
year. Those who wish new food for
tnought—food that will broaden men
tal territory and expand

Winder is not narrow, so a full au
ditorium is assured. There will be
no charges.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY.
AUTO OVERTURNS ON
NATIONAL HIGHWAY.
In Effort to Pass Heavily Loaded
Wagon Several Occupants Are
Spilled.
An accident occured out on the Na
tional Hig/nway Monday afternoon
which came very near resulting in
serious damages. A large touring
car of travellers was overturned in
to a small gulley. The driver seem
ed some what reckless and in his ef
forts to pass a large two horse wag
on in a narrow road without chang
ing his speed of thirty-five miles an
hour quite nicely spilled all five pas
sengers, including himself into a
four foot gulley, containing a quan
tity of moist sand. The car was com
pletely overturned, but turned so
far on one side that sitting in it was
impossible. With flhe aid of the
mules hitched to the wagen and a
couple of negros the car was righted,
pulled out of the ditcli and, on exam
ination revealed only three injuries,
a broken door, a smashed wind
shield and a punctured tire. The
only injuries received by the Pas
sangers was a skinned nose, given
to the driver by a rough-edged rock
in the gulley. The soft sand, it is
thought, prevented a number of more
serious injuries. It would have been
more fortunate for the driver's nose
had it struck the sand instead of the
rock.
In less than an hour, the tire was
mended, the nose plastered and the
reckless tourers had continued well
on their way to New York. They did
not even leave their names and the
the only evidence of their mishap
left in the road Was a few pieces of
shattered glass, a number of dents
in the sand, the stub of a good cigar
and a good-sized remnant of the driv
er’s nose clinging lovingly to a rough
edged rock in the gulley.
Here’s to the rock.

T'HE BOOKLOVERS
New things, are constantly happen
ing in Winder, but lots of different
cinds of things. For instance, new
enterprises and manufactories are
springing up, new people are moving
to town, new houses are going up
and just numbers of other kinds cf
tew things are happening. Perhaps,
the newest and certainly the most
interesting thing that has happenec
lately is the birth of a brand new
organization, called The Booklovers.
The Booklovers is nothing more
nor less than a group of young people
who enjoy the perusal of the latest
literature, both old and new. They
liave come to the sensible conclusion
that the coming winter evenings wil
be entirely too long to spend all of
them entirely unplanned. And sc
it happened that The Booklovers was
organized on the twelth of Octobei
at the home of Miss Lena Hamilton.
It is t obe fr the operusal, study,
discussion and criticism of books,
both ancient and modern. Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Holsenbeck, who are two
Jf the several honorary members,
were host and hostess on the last
Thursday evening.
The Booklovers will meet on alter
nate Thursday evenings at the home
of the different members. Its on
ly purpose will be that of literary de
velopment. It is youn*yet, but there
is already strong evidence of growth.
As it grows older and larger it will
gain influence and power and perhap
ere many moons have passed it wi 11
be like unto the famous Bluestock
ings of the olden days. v
Editor F. M. Grissette, of The
Loganville Record, was in Winder
Wednesday and gave The News a
pleasant call.

VILLA’S STAR RISES.
Washington, October 25.—Condi
tions in northern Mexico, revolving
on the new ascendancy of Villa, are
commanding more attention than at
any time since the border raids,
which resulted in the dispatch of
the American punitive expedition.
Administration officials made no
effort tonight to disguise their opin
ion that the American-Mexican com
mission sitting at Atlantic City can
not be expected to arrive at a sat
isfactory solution of border problems
until the situation in Chihuahua has
been clarified. Any agremeent for
the early withdrawal of General Per
shing’s forces apparently is consid
ered out of the question.

the most talked-o' woman in the
