GREAT ARMISTICE
PROGRAMTUESDAY
Hon. Hooper Alexander Was the Prin
cipal Speaker of the Day and He
Pleased Large Audience.
Tuesday was an epochal day in Bar
row county history.
The John Rieka rd Pentecost Post of
the American Legion, Col. J. C. Pratt,
commandant and I. E. Jackson, secre
tary, arranged for appropriate mem
orial exercises, and despite the down
pour of rain and exceedingly unfavor
able weather conditions, a large num
ber of interested citizens assembled
from all sections of the county to par
ticipate in the exercises of the day.
Promptly at 11 o’clock the people
gathered at the court house and soon
the seating capacity of the building
was tested and a number stood around
the walls.
A quartette composed of Messrs. S.
C. Potts, I. E. Jackson, Claude Mayne,
and W. A. Bradley favored the audi
ence with a splendid selection, after
which Rev. IV. H. Faust led the invo
cation.
Judge George A. Johns in his usual
happy and felitious manner introduced
the speaker of the day Hon. Hooper
Alexander.
Many of the citizens of Barrow knew
the splendid oratorical qualifications
possessed by Mr. Alexander, but on
this memorable occasion'he surpassed
his own great record, and for one hour
and a quarter he stirred and thrilled
his vast audience as he explained in
statesmanlike way the deep underly
ing causes of the war, the vital results
of the armistice and the heroric cour
age of Belgium manifested in living
up to her covenant obligations.
With thrilling effect he showed how
Kaiser Wilhelm was the direct decend
ant of Ceasar Augustus, and how in
his autocratic and tyrannical will he
was perpetuating the decree of Ceasar
Augustus, “that all the world was to be
taxed.”
He swept his audience off their feet
again and again as he described the
courage and heroism of the allied, sol
diers of various nationalities who un
der divine leadership carried out the
teachings of Christ —“Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free,” and how the American soldiers
at the strategic battle of Chateau
Thierry forever settled the strife be
tween autocracy and democracy, and
let the world kpow that truth and
righteousness under God should result
in a Christian ’democracy.
He took up the marvelous achieve
mehts of the American nation and paid
a glowing tribute to President Wilson
and the almost miraculous achieve
ments of the present administration in
the war period, and showed that de
spite criticism and adverse sentiment
that the president was following Di
vine example in the democratic draft
law, comparing it with the selection
of men to lead the Israelites in face
of dreaded foe. The Lord in this, set
the example.
His hearers will never forget the
great oratorical flight in which he de
scribed the things the splendid aviator
and the buzzard scented as they flew
above the earth—the one beauty and
fragrance, the other death and carrion,
and he compared the growlers and
critics of the administration to the lat
ter.
No more glowing tribute to the su
perb bravery and courage of the Amer
ican soldier will ever be paid than the
encomium he passed upon the khaki
clad lads who made the world tit for
democracy and who after the armis
tice, have been engaged with equal en
thusiasm in making democracy fit for
the world.
At the close of the address the crowd
repaired to the Fair Grounds and a
bountiful Georgia dinner was served by
the ladies of the town under the direc
tion of the members of the “Young
Ladies Club.”
The Post has already enrolled 35
members and this number will doubt
less quickly grow until all the soldiers
in the county will be included.
‘ Than Hon. Hooper Alexander, a more
pleasing and happier selection could
not have been made for speaker of
the day. He is IDO per cent American
having had three sons in the service,
and from the beginning of the war un
til the present he has been in tremen
dous demand throughout the state as
a speaker along patriotic lines.
Those who heard him are enthusias-.
tic in their praise of his great out
standing address, and will be more
than delighted to have him in Winder
again on similar occasions.
VIOLA DANA AND OTHER STARS
AT THE STRAND THIS WEEK
Positively the funniest picture ever
seen at the Strand will be shown to
night featuring Miss Viola Dana, in
‘The Microbe.” This is the very best
picture and is the last picture in which
she will be seen in at The Strand.
On Friday night, Nov. 14. “Moon
shine,” a Blackton production, will be
shown. Robert Gordon and Sylvia
Briomer are featured. This is also a
high class interesting production and a
-very interesting picture.
'Alin Monday of next week. Alice Brady
will bo seen in “Her Great. Chance.’
If you enjoy high-class production,
you cannot afford to miss these three
pictures.
A few drops of peroxide of hydro
gen in an acetylene lamp will increase
the brilliancy of the light.

BOWSTOTHELAW
AND STOPS STRIKE
We Can’t Fight United States Govern
ment, Say Labor Chiefs, in Obeying
Federal Court Orden
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 11.—The
way for the final adjustment of the
controversy between the bituminous
coal operators and the United Mine
Workers of Amerlfh, which resulted in
a strike of 425,000 union miners and
actioii by the government in the federal
court, appeared in sight tonight.
While the representatives of the
miners, who egrlier in the day had
agreed to comply with the mandate of
United States District Judge A. B. An
derson, and late today mailed an or
der rescinding the strike, were discuss
ing the future policy of the organiza
tion, telegrams weie received from W.
B. Wilson, secretary of the United
States department of labor, and Thom
as T. Brewster, chairman of tlty oper
ators’ 'scale committee, by John L.
Lewis, acting president of the miners,
inviting the miners’ representat.ves in
to a conference.
Mr. Lewis, on behalf of the mine
workers, accepted the invitation of
Secretary Wilson to meet the bitumin
ous operators of the country in Wash
ington next Friday morning at 11
o’clock and replied to Mr. Brewster,
who requested a meeting of the central
competitive scale committee with the
operators of the district in Washing
ton, Monday, November 17, “to nego
tiate a contract to be in force upon the
termination of the contract now in ef
fect,” that the miners already had ac
cepted the invitation of Mr. Wilson.
Copies of the miners’ telegrams to Mr.
Wilson and Mr. Brewster were not
available early tonight, but their con
tents were made public.
In commenting on the telegram from
Mr. Brewster, Ellis Searles, editor of
The United Mine Workers’ Journal,
and other officials of the organization
who were under the impression that
Mr. Brewster’s message was sent after
he had received Secretary Wilson's
invitation, declared they saw in the
operators’ offer a deliberate attempt
to entrap the.miners into a tacit ac
knowledgment that the Washington
wage agreement was still in force. The
miners have contended throughout the
controversy that the wage contract has
expired.
MISSIONARY CONVENTIONS

HE HOB-NOBBED WITH DANIEL BOONE
REMEMBERS BURIAL OF WASHINGTON
HARD TIMES HAS HELPED SECOND METHUSELAH TO LIVE ONE
HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE YEARS—JOHN SHELL IS NOW
USING HIS FOURTH SET OF TEETH.
The late Methuselah has re
ceived a deal of mention during the
last several thousand years on ac
count of the excessively long period
that elapsed before he was Anally
“gathered to his fathers.” Considering
the rate of speed at which life is liv
ed today, however, the patriarch didn’t
have so much on John Shell, of Greasy
Creek, near Hyden, Leslie County, Ken
tucky, who, we are told has just cele
brated his one hundred tkirty-Arst
birthday. At this writing Shell enjoys
the distinction of being the oldest hu
man being in-the world. It must be
understood however, that all the outly
ing districts have not as yet been
heard from. All the records thus far
found indicate that the veteran Ken
tuckian's claim to having lived a cen
tury and a third is true. He remenv
hers having heard of the death of Geo-
Washington, and while he does not ex
actly claim to have been a boon com
l>auion of Daniel Boone, he says he
saw the latter. When the Mexican
War broke out he tried to enlist, but
avers that he was rejected because he
was “too old.” One “Uncle Henry”
Chappell, a neighbor of Shell, who is
over seventy years of age and known
as one of the most reliable citizens hi
the community, states that as far back
as he can remember. Shell was an old
man. Chappell further says he has
seen a tax receipt showing the payment
>f an assessment by Shell in 18011, in
dicating that he must at that time have
•een over twenty-one to have been li
able for taxes. The old gentleman
told newspaper men at Lexington
where he came to attend a recent fair
bat he hardly expected to see another
birthday. “I am getting old now.” he
explained. Another indication of the
old mountaineer’s fear that his demise
tv take place soon is the fact that he
-ent for an insurance agent when he
was in Lexington. “You never can tell
what’ll happen, sonny,” he told the
agent, “and I want to prepare for the
worst.” The agent found that only the
first 105 years of a man’s life were
covered by his company’s policy, and
the officials are now said to be pon
lering on the problem of what to do
with Shell’s application. A brief
ketch of the old man’s life is contain
ed in a recent issue of the Philadelphia
“Public Ledger,” from which we quote
as follows:
“He was born in 1788 and first mar
ried at the age of 19, and lived with
his first wife more than 90 years. He
lived 75 years in one house. He is the
father of 29 children, the oldest now
living being more than 90 years old.
He has several great-great-great-grand
children. He has nine children living,
and there is no definite record of his
grandchildren, great-grandchildren and
other descendants, altho the total, it is
said will reach nearly two hundred.
“Six years ago he married again at
the age of 125. By his second wife he
has one child, a boy, now five years
1. He was 73 years old when the
Civil War began. He was born near
Knoxville, Tenn., 12 years after the
battle of Bunker Hill, and was full
grown when the War of 1812 began. He
has seen the United States develop
from a small nation to a world power.
“He bears his age well. His mind is
clear and his eye-sight is far better
than that of many men *st.ill in their
youth.”
And the New York “Tribune fur
nishes the following additional facts:
“He came to Kentucky when this
section was a wilderness, following the
hunting trails blazed only a few years
previously by Daniel Boone, and Shell
himself was a noted hunter and pion
eer.
“About forty years ago, it is claimed,
his first two sets of teeth had come
and gone and then a third set made
its appearance. After a few yeats these
teeth all decayed, but in later yeiirs a
fourth lot has made its appearance, and
most of these are on duty’ now. Mr.
Shell is described as of Jiglit. wiry
build, in full possession <>f 11 his fac
ulties, and when he has occasion to do
so he mounts his horse and rides twen
ty miles into Hyden and back home
the same day, without visible evidence
of distress.
“Mr. Shell helped clear eastern Ken
tucky from Indians, there still having
been a few nomadic bands when he
arrived, and was probably the first
white man to settle in Leslie County.
He lives near the home he picked out
over one hundred years ago.”
On his recent visit, to Lexington, Mr.
Shell made a little speech before the
Board of Commerce. Afterwards the
newspaper men interviewed him. The
substance of his remarks is set out in
the “Ledger” as follows:
“It must have been hard times that
have kept me alive; I don’t know of
THIRTY INJIRED IN
STREET CAR WRECK
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 12.—When a
street car on the River line crashed
into the rear of a “tripiier” at the cor-;
ner of Simpson and Davis streets late i
Tuesday afternoon. 12 people were ser
iously injured and sent to Atlanta hos
pitals for treatment, while, it is stated
by police officers makingan investiga
tion of the accodent, that. 20 others
were slightly injured, but were not
brought to the hospitals.
anything else it could have been," said
Mr. Shell. "I have taken it tough and
rough. I am an old hunter. I hunted
the coon and the deer. I took the
weather as it came. Many nights I have
lain out. Sometimes the snow has cov
ered me when I got up. There were
no roads even in those days. We took
things as they came. Hard times sure
ly are what have made me live so long.”
Those who gathered about, the chair
of the oldest man in the world asked
him questions at pauses.
"My children? Why, the oldest is
90 and the youngest going on 5. Use
tobacco? Yes, 1 took a chew once. My
father said it would make a person
drunk. My brother and I wanted to
see which of us could stand it best.
After we spit, it out I went to the table
and ate a piece of bread. He couldn't
even go,to the table. I never used it
-since.
“Do I drink? Yes, whenever I get
it.
“One - reason I have lived ro long
may be is because I have worked so
hard. I have never shunned work and
linve never tried to save myself. I have
had a heap of good times and a heap
of bad times. When I was 75 years
old, I think, I was in my prime. I
certainly was us good as I ever was.
1 lived with my Arst wife 80 or s*o
years—as near as I come to it.
“How many deer did I ever kill? I
couldn't tell. I killed 42 one winter
and summer. That's the only time I
ever took account of it. And I killed
them with a Aintlock rifle.
“I had a shooting match two or three
months ago. I beat all that were shoot
ing against me. I can still kill squir
rels. The Arst, vote I cast for a Presi
dent was for Polk.”
Mr. Shell received scores of presents
for his birthday. He talked with force
and distinctiveness, which greatly sur
prised his audience.
The story of John Shell appeared in
many newspapers, and in some has
been made the subject of editorial
comment. Thus, a writer in the New
ark “News” observes:
“Suppose John had been employed on
a newspaper all his life, if newspepers
in the modern sense had existed. He
might have slipped off to St. Helena
to interview Napoleon intend of this
business of hanging around Amerongen
to ask Count Bentinck of the Kaiser
is really sawing wood. He might have
been a guest at that ball at Brussels
just before the battle of Waterloo. Go
ing back farther still he was old enough
to tight in the War of 1812, or to cover
part of the French Revolution. He
might have attended George Washing
ton’s funeral and even listened to the
Farewell Address.
“If he was a forward lad, John Shell
may have distinct recollections of the
time when John Jay came back from
England with a treaty of peace which
George Washington had sent to him
to negotiate. He should remember the
time when Jay was burned in effigy
up and down the land, when they used
to say. 'Damn John Jay.’ Damn every
one that won’t damn John Jay! Damn
every one that won’t put lights in his
windows and sit up all night damning
John Jay.”. Perhaps he recalls well
that the Senate of the United States
ratified the Jay treaty by exactly the
necessary two-thirds vote.
“The hubbub of that time is explain
ed in every American history. The
debate went on till John Jay died in
1829. Even before he died the country
began generally to recognize that he
negotiated, everything considered, a
good treaty. Posterity is sure of it.
“John Shell might be able to tell the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate aboyf the weird passions arous
ed by the Jay treaty when he was a
little boy. The committee is calling
so many persons that it might send an
invitation to Mr. Shell to come to
Washington and discourse for its ben
efit on the Jay treaty. Possibly John
can toll what utter nonsense men can
sometimes indulge in on the subject
of treaties.
“There is a story of a man who had
been in the Johnstown flood, who, after
he had been called to his fathers, was
eternally telling of his experiences in
that deluge, fine quiet man eternally
refused to be impressed. ‘Who is that
unappreciative fellow?' asked the gen
tleman from Johnstown. ‘Why, that.s
Noah.’ said another denizen of the Ely
*d:;n Fields. Perhaps John Shell, who
was here when the Jay treaty was up,
may feel about certain present-day
discussion as Noah felt about the Johe :
town flood. However, let John be cull
ed before the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to tort Mr. Lodge and his col
'oagues what he knows.”- Literary Di
gest for November, 1919.

JUDGE COBB RESENTENCES
LANDERS TO HANG JAN. 2ND.
JEFFERSON, Ga. —The supreme
court having passed on the case of the
State vs. Hollis Landers, over-ruling
liis application for new trial, Judge
Cobb Friday lesentenced him to hang.
The date of execution was set for Jan
uary 2, 1920.
It will be remembered that Landers
is the young man who shot and killed
the sheriff of this county, Mr. C. D.
Barber, while trying to arrest him.
Landers was brought from Athens
to Jefferson to receive his sentence
and returned there to await the day of
his execution. No excitement was
shown over the return of the young
man.
When asked by the judge if he had
anything to say before sentence was
passed Landers replied that he was in
nocent and asked that, mercy be ex
tended him.
MAKING READY
FOR COURT HOUSE
Winder’s First Two-Story Dwelling To
Give Way for the Erection of a
County Court House.
The old Bush House, the Arst two
story building erected in the town of
Jug Tavern, is being moved from the
plot on which it has stood since 1876,
when Dr. Wiley Bush, moved into his
“new home.”
Within the walls of this old building
many momentous words have been
spoken that liuve left their imprint
on Winder’s history.
To Dr. Wiley H. Bush, more than to
any other one man are we indebted for
our beautiful little city. It was he who
labored incessantly for civic progress
in the long ago.
If the walls of this old building
could talk, they might tell us many in
teresting tales of love and disappoint
ment, for it was here that Fulton Jack
son, Charlie Furguson, M. J. Griffeth,
W. H. Sheats and R. L. Rogers did
their courting and timidly coached a
“yes” to the all-important question.
And it was out the doors of this old
building that couples have wended
their way through rice and old shoes
to get busy helping to build a city.
And these sons and daughters, re
vering the memory of Dr. Bush and
their good mother, afe having the old
building rolled back on to a lot that
belongs to the-heirs, where they will
•have it thoroughly modernized and let
it stand for ages as a monument to its
builder and the founder of the city.
Bids will soon be asked for the erec
tion of Barrow's court house, and we
assume that it, is the intention of the
county authorities to start the erection
as soon as the contract is properly
signed.
And by January 1, 1921, Barrow
county will have a house of her own
to shelter her officials.
NEWS BRIEFS
Two thousand regular army officers
have resigned from the service since
the signing of the armistice. The reason
given is the low scale of prices. An
army captains gets less pay than the
average bricklayer.
The latest returns seem to indicate
that Ohio has gone wet by 641 major

Ohio Dry Federation, has asked for a
recount.
J. E. Joiner, a planter living near
Milieu, Monday had $13,000 stolen
from a trunk in his residence while he
was in Savannah on business. It
seems hard to teach folks banks are
safer for money than trunks, and “un
loaded” guns kill more people than
loaded guns.
Denied a holiday on Armistice Day,,
500 students of a North Carolina Col
lege, decided to celebrate anyway. A
part of the program arranged by the
students was a parade through the
principal streets of the city, bearing an
immense casket on which the word
“Germany” had been painted. At a
downtown corner buglers sounded
“taps” and a mock burial was carried
out. The procession was headed by
the college service flag bearing several
hundred stars.

Were Marrhing in Parade.
CENTRA LI A, Wash., Nov. al—Three
former soldiers were killed and a num
ber injured today by snipers, said to
have been Industrial Workers of th#
World, who fired on an Armistice day
parade marching through the streets
of the city.
Shots poured from the roofs of the
buildings as the parade neared Tow
er avenue, Centralla’s main street, and
Second avenue. Arthur E. McAlfresh
fell dead and Warren O. Grimm, at
torney and former University of Wash
ington football star, and Ben Cassa
grande, real estate man, suffered from
vounds of which they died later. The
hree were residents of Centralia.
Four others sustaining wounds were:
George Stevens and Dale Hubbard, of
Centralia, and two men from Chehalis
Wash., whose last, names were given
as Friscus and Watt.
The whole city was thrown into
consternation and the parade of vet
erans of the world war broke up
quickly, while the uniformed march
ers made a dash to raid the I. W. W.
hall and round up all suspicious char
acters.
The service men soon stripped the
hall of all furniture anil documents
mil arrested sixteen men. These,
thrown in jail, were guarded by the
former soldiers to prevent their escape
and at the same time to protect them
from lynching until their guilt could,
be established.
A mob seeking vengeance on the
prisoners was fought back by the over
as men who stood guard at the jail
to see that officials made no effort to
tuke the suspects away.
A quanity of arms and ammunition
was seized when the mob ransacked
the I. W. W. headquarters, near which
the shooting occurred, trampled down
the building front and threw into the
street and burned all of the organiza
tion’s literature and property which
could be found. Posses scoured the
timber camps and searched feverishly
among the town’s 8,000 inhabitants
for other radicals.
Immediately after the shooting, a
crowd of spectators and marchers
seized a man they believed to be the
ring leader of the I. W. W. They put
a rope around his neck, threw the
rope over the cross-arm of a telephone
pole nad started to haul him up. He
was in the air only a brief period be
fore the chief of police prevailed upon
the crowd to let him down. Tonight the
man was in jail here nearly dead.
