FORTY ROOM HOTEL
FOR CTTY OF WINDER
Plans Being Perfected for the Erec
tion of a Modern Brick Building
to Meet the Needs of City.
Mr. M. F. Thompson, wife cand
daughter arrived in Winder several
days ago and they are now occup\ing
apartments at the Garrison home.
They are experts in managing ho
tels, and having heard so much ol
the progressive little city of Winder,
they are here looking the city over.
They come here from \V ashington,
Ga., where for the paet year they
have had charge of Hctel Johnson.
They come highly recommended as
people who know how to run a first
class hotel. Of them the Washing
ton Reporter says:
“Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Thompson
ad daughter, Miss Luella, left Thuis
•day fer Winder, Ga., where Mr
Thompson will engage in the hotel
business. A company is being organ
ized, with a capital stock of $50,000
for the building of a handesome ho
tel at Winder, and Mr. Thompson
will furnish plans, superintend the
construction, and will then be given
a long lease cn the hotel when com
pleted. The Thompsons made many
friends in Washington, and they are
given up reluctantly. As manager
of the Johnson Hotel, Mr. Thompson
was very popular with the patrons of
the hotel, and is an experienced ho
tel man. The Reporter wishes for
him and his estimable family, a pleas
ant and profitable sojourn in the pro
gressive little city of Winder.
Mr. Thompson, together with local
capitalists, contemplates erecting
a 40-room hotel.
A modern hctel, one that will ac o m
modate the traveling public, is.one of
the needs of Winder, and its erection
would mean much to the city at
large.
Jn Many traveling men cut Winder
because of pocr accomodations. It
is not often that a drummer stops
off here to spend Sunday as would
be the case if accomodations com
patible with good temper could be
assured.
W T e wish Mr. Thompson success
in this undertaking, and we are sure
that he will meet with encouragement
from our business interests.

HIGH SHCOOL MEET IN WINDER
Ninth District High School Meeting
Will Be Held in Winder
April 19, 20, 21.
Unquestionably this is one of the
most important meetings ever booked
for Winder and this is an opportunity
for ti e town to show her splendid
greatness by an enthusiastic mani
festation of interest in the cause of
education.
This occasion will bring together
here the leading principles, sup
erintendents, teachers and members
of Boards of Education and school
men of every line in this section of
the state. The impressions made up
on these visitors will mean much for
the town, not only in an educational
way, but in a business and social
way as well. It is the purpose of
the teaching force of the Winder
Schools to make this the greatest
educat onal meeting ever held in
the Ninth District. With the hearty
cooperation, which we are sure we
will have from all the citizens of
the community and business men w-e
shall succeed in our efforts.
Of course there is always a finan
cial obligation that must be met for
entertaining such a gathering, secur
ing judges in the various contests
purchasing medals for the w r inners ,- n
the contest, etc., but we hope
to so plan the meeting that it will in
the very largest measure, if not en
tirely, finance itself.
However, we now need some prizes
to olfer to the local contestants in
the preliminary contests to be held
for choosing those who will represent
our school in the meet. We have
some of the prizes for the literary
contests secured, but we need sev
eral prizes for the athletic contests.
Any kind of athletic goods would
mal e very suitable and desirable
prizes. Should any individual or
business firm desire to offer any
kind of prize please call us and w-e
will be glad to name to you the con
test for which prizes have.not been
betn secured.
The literary contests are all be
ing pushed along and just as soon as
the weather will permit practice for
the athletic contests will begin in
earnest.
We are here to win and WIN we
shall.

MODIFIED CLOTURE TO x
LIMIT DEBATE PROPOSED
Two-Thirds of Senators Mhy Lijmjt
Debate at Any Time
They Desire.
Washington, March 7. —Two-thirds
cf senators might limit debate at any
time, according to a proposed rule
for prevention cf future filibusters
by a small minority, drawn up by a
joint committee of Democratic and
Republican senators today in the
form of a resolution to be present
soon to caucuses of both parties.
With the necessary caucus endorse
ment, the rule likely would be adopt
ed by the senate and possibly pave
the way fer the calling of a special
session of Congresss to act cn the
armed neutrality bill, whose death
by a senate filibuster prompted the
present agitation for some sort of
cloture rule.
The suggested rule would permit
an hour of debate, instead of unlimit
ed time, by each senator even after
adoption by two-thirds of senators
present, cf a motion to bring debate
to a close. At both Republican and
Democratic caucuses there were in
dications that a rule to limit debate
would be approved.
Later Democrats in caucus vote*
unanimously for the rule and tin
Republican vote was 30 to 2. LaFol
lette and Gronna did not attend the
party caucus

Rome, March 7.—John W. Bale,
one of Floyd countys representa

next session of the legislature,
whether extra or regular, he will in
troduce a bill to make it a penal of

SOLDIER BOYS COMING HOME.
All over the country the people
are banqueting the boys of the vari
ous military companies cn their re
turn from the border. Of course At
lanta ’s making great preparations to
receive her own Fighting Fifth and
pin crosses of honor on their individ
ual breasts. ;
As yet we have heard of no prep
aration being made to entertain the
Winder yourg men when the main
body returns to the city. However,
the wives, mothers and sweethearts
can be depended on to give them, a
<•
royal reception when the day of
their arrival has been made certain.
The Winder young men being attach
ed to the hospital corps cannot re
turn in a body.
Roy Smith, of the Governors Llorse
Guards and Llerscliel Williams, cf
the Field Artillery Hospital Corps
were tl e first to return from the
border and are the center of attrac
tion to interested friends, eager to
learn of the hardships of border life.
These boys are pictures of health,
and tickled to death to get back
home.
Captain Saxon and the boys attach
ed to his company are expected to
reach Winder the latter part of the
present week or the first of next.
The" date of the return of Captain
Mathews and his contingent has not
been ditinitely announced.
TAX THE BACHELORS
In these trying times some,kind of
legal tax shoulo be placed upon Win
ch rg old bachelors. Of what serv
ice to the community are men who
are too cowardly to take on the re
sponsibilities cf life. The high ecst
of living does not seem to affect
them in the least. They stand
around and talk war, when there i
not a drop of heroic blood in their
whole make-up. A marriage license
is about the only thing we know of
that has not advanced in price, and
yet these fellows persist in remain
ing drones in the hive while women
do the work. They should be taxed
and disfranchised.
