Grand Jury Presentments.
The grand jury in our present sys
tem of jurisprudence is a vitally impor
tant body. It is the direct connecting
link between the officials and the peo
ple. Meeting twice a year it is charged
■to'ith matter?, of great importance to
the folks of the entire county. The
i men serving upon the jury are selected
ytnd sworn to do their whole duty with
out fear or affection, reward or the hope
thereof. Coming then from every sec
tion, sworn officials, they are supposed
to keep their eyes and minds, their
eailpf and hearts open to the county
voices that are calling.
The Farm Demonstrator.
The United States government pro
vides SI,OOO for each county provided
an adequate sum be added to secure
the services of an agricultural expert
to counsel with the farmers —one that
is thoroughly capable to see to it that
terraces are built, correctly, that the
soil is #roperly analyzed, that fertil
izers are correctly proportioned, that
blooded and adaptable stock are se
cured, that choice and hardy seed are
planted, that marketing is done
wisely and economically, that
epidemics of disease in hogs and cattle
be projerly looked after, that streams
are properly drained, that correct
implements and farm machinery be
kept for use on farms. In fact, he is
at the beck and call of every interested
and progressive and forward looking
farmer in the county. An appropriation
of $1,200.00 was made, and the services
of one of t.he best and most experienced
men in the state has been secured.
He ought, if properly used, be worth
ten thousand dollars per year to Bar
row agriculturists.
Road Commissioners.
Xo county can grow rightly without
good roads. Traffic is four times as
heavy over our highways now as five
years ago. It will take all of an ex
pert’s time to look properly after our
briwzes and roads. *
After thorough investigation of all
existing road plan it was recommend
ed to have a board of three citizens,
these men to come from three districts
of the county, each of these districts
composed of three militia districts, in
order that each section be represented.
The chairman is to receive a salary of
$1,800.00 per annum. The grand jury
is to select these men and the judge
of t,he superior court is to appoint.
Thus each year the power that
created, will have the privilege to over
look and check up and continue in
office efficient men. The road nuestion
just now is the most important in the
county.
The Auditor’s Report
The principle part of this is pub
lished in this issue of The News. It
is aft public property. Every citizen
in the most remote section of the county
has right to know the exact financial
Sliding of the county. A copy in de
tail is to be found in the ordinary’s
and clerk's offices for the use of any
one interested. The auditor’s sugges
tion that the books be audited each
year will mean a saving of hundreds
of dollars to the county. The sugges
tion that vouchers be kept for every
penny paid out, to whom and for what,
is merely for the protection of all
•-concerned.
Relative To Back Taxes.
If one citizen is made to pay ids
taxes, all citizens should be' wade to
pay. The pre-eminent correctness of
this can readily be seen.
Working Convicts on Roads
The people with good and honest
int>reions were led to vote for bonds
widtwhich to build a court house. If
whqjf’the issue was before the people,
it filas been announced that the convict
labor, because it was cheaper, would
be taken off the roads and put to work
on t.he erection of the court house,
hundreds of citizens who voted and
worked enthusiastically for bonds
would have done nothing.
To work convicts on the court house
iyiw, on days when roads are impassi
ble, would not meet serious objection,
but under present conditions, bridges
down, mail routes stopped because of
impassable roads and bad roads every
where. scrapes needed to be operating,
and the high cost of mules and feed,
earnestly calls for them upon public
roads. Technically the convicts can
be worked on the court house, but
technically speaking, a man in Georgia,
with our civilization and enlightment
can beat his wife if he doesn’t use a
stick too large, but faith cannot be
kept with the people all over the county
and work the convicts on the court
IIOUSC.
The suggested separation of the
toads from the ordinary’s office was
not the present in cumbent
nor f/suggestion al>out the future oecu
pant—the work was thought to be too
much for one man, and the burden
was (placed, by suggestion, upon the
shoulders of two.
The writer knows not how these
presentments may strike the people.
He does know that a mighty fine
bunch of the best, men in Barrow,
thought out, with the advice and sug
gestion of the citizens, the various
broblems and simply did their best,
without fear or favor. Their findings
and presentments belong to the people
and their work aimed at the best inter
est of all.
WOMAN’S DAY.
For seventy years women have waged
unabated warfare for the simple privi
lege of being the equal of their hus
bands, sons and fathers in political
circles.
Their triumpth is assured. Not a sin
gle man of note and influence in the
world today opposes it.
The ride across the continent of a
West Virginia senator, Mr. Black, was
a ride that surpasses the famous mid
night, ride of Paul Revere.
Women are as well prepared to vote
intelligently; they are ns well educat
ed, they are as thoroughly competent as
are the men.
The fight is the most brilliant ever
put up—27,000.000 voters t,o come into
the arena at one time and come they
will, for this year or the next enough
states will act favorably to put the mat
ter over for the women.
Women are not going to be found as
much by party lines as are men. They
will come more nearly voting for prin
ciple than for personality.
Men can be easily fooled. Partisan
politics—Hoover came near being plac
ed on Democracy’s ticket in Georgia —
Watson is running in a Democratic
primary.
Who knows but that William Jen
nings Bryan or some other wise, far
sighted statesman may go to the na
tional democratic convention and with
the millions of new voters start influ
ences which shall be the foundations for
anew party, or policies that, will make
an independent the next president of
t.he United States.
Alabama, Maryland, Georgia, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina and Virginia
have acted adversely. But it is ns
natural for woman's suffrage to cairy
as it was for the union to remain in
tact.
The band wagon is moving. All
the ones who are too far behind to
get on will find it rough and lonesome
walking nfter this. Woman with all
her charming potentiality is now privi
leged to play the noble part in the
world building. She is going to show
the world that, she is ready for the
groat task.
EXTRAVAGANCE
Keeping up with the Jones’ is one
of the most wide-spread and prevalent
evils of the day.
It is all right to imitate that, which
is right and worthy. It is all wrong
to attempt to do more than you are
able to do.
The littJes in life are not thought
of seriously. President Elliot says
that if one spends an hour a day with
good books he will soon be an educated
man.
Six cents seems a small amount,
but the little insignificant amounts have
made Asa Candler the richest man in
Georgia.
The ordinary citizens smokes from
three to five cigars per day. At ten
cehts each, a year will find over a
hundred dollars spent.
Four bottles of coca cola per day
looks small, but soon the littles run up
into hundreds.
Forty dollars saved on a suit of
clothes, five dollars on a pair of shoes,
two dollars on a shirt, and fifty cents
on a tie amounts to a good sum.
A chauffeur costs ouly SIOO to sllO
per month. A little thing to drive a
car around yourself, but it saves a
thousand of twelve hundred dollars
per year.
A little thing to speak kindly and
be polite and courteous to a customer,
but it is what holds patronage.
It takes only a couple of hours per
day to attend the movies regularly, but
the one who does it helps very little
to move the big business deals of his
city.
In front of some citizen’s home in
the road is a bad hole. An hour or so
with a shovel would remedy the bad
place, put how few men ever think of
doing it.
It requires only a couple of hours
out of the entire week to attend church
services regularly and let your in
fluence count for the Lord and right
eousness. Many esteem it such a little
thing that they often go three or four
months without going inside a church.
The eight hour day gives the laborer
from two to four and five hours for
special self-culture, but such a small
item as a few hours is not worth con
sidering and go like cogs in wheels
when they could cultivate their minds
and be masters and owners.
Thrift, economy, work, apprecation,
honesty. “There is no excellence with
out great labor" still holds true. The
people today are suffering from the
cost of high living. We need to come
down and live within our means.
Back to the house of our fathers in
matters of thrift as well as in politics.

TUB WINDER NEWS. WINDER, GA. THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1920.
ILLINOIS DOCTOR
PRESCRIBES IT
Says He Has Never Known Medicine
To Results Like
Tanlac
Dr. B. 11. Elder, M. D., with offices
at 410 Shraskl Bldg., Peoria, 111., who
has been in active practice for over
forty years, says:
“Medical science has never before
produced a medicine that brings results
like Tanlac. I have been prescribing
it some time with remarkable results.
Personally I had suffered for years
from stomach trouble and rheumatism
and had devoted my best thought, try
ing to find relief but to no avail.
After eating, gas would form in my
stomach and affect my henrt, causing
poor circulation, cold hands and feet,
headaches and cramps. The rheuma
tism pained me so I could hardly
stand to move my legs or arms.
“I had a patient, who had also suf
fered for years with the same trouble
as mine, and although I did all I
could for him he got no better. One
day, after he had been away for about
six months, he came to my office and
never in my life have I seen a man
look better or seem to feel better tlwm
he did. He told me Tanlac was what
had hrought about the wonderful
change. I began trying the medicine
with the result that a few bottles re
lieved me entirely of stomach trouble,
rheumatism and all my other ailments.
Although I am not an extra hearty
eater nothing ever disagrees with me
any more. I have prescribed Tanlac
in cases of rheumatism, kidney and
bladder disorders and a run down con
dition with wonderful results, and I
feel that I ought to give my exper
ience with Tanlac to the public for the
benefit of suffering humanity.”
Tanlac is sold in every town by one
good druggist.
For a Severe Cold.
“Chamberlain’si Cough Remedy cured
my daughter, Anna, of a severe cod
and cough a few years ago and ever
since then I have never missed an op
portunity to recommend this medicine
to anyone suffering from throat or lung
troubles. I cannot speak too highly
in praise of it,” writes Mrs. D. J. Shel
ley, Earlville, N. Y. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy contains no narcotic
and may be given to children with per
fect confidence. It is a pleasant syrup
so they do not object to taking it.

nor on the beauty of its public build
nor on the beauty of its puglic build
ings; but it consists in the number of
its cultivated citizens, in its men of
education, enlightment and character;
here are to be found its true interests,
its cheif strength, its real power.”—
Martin Luther.
Those of us who allow ourselves to
do original thinking, and very little
of this is done, will realize that the
first three years life finds a child
learning more of its relationship to the
material world, more of its abilities
and powers than said child requires
all the rest of its life.
The home, therefore, is ut, tjie foun
dation of our country in the matter of
educating our citizens. The influence
I around the fireside can never be over
estimated.
The mother is naturally more in
touch with the children and stamps
! upon them her personality and her
I views. She thus in early life has the
! formation of character largely, if not
altogether, in her hands.
It is such an easy thing for inmates
of the same home to get into the habit
■ of saying sharp and cutting things to
| (*nch other, and thus forming an atmos
phere that is in no wise conductive to
the highest character building.
Every man is made up on three
things. One is the being he himself
knows, the pext the being the public
knows, the last the being his family
knows.
How very, very few men do you see
who treat the members of their own
family, their best loved ones like they
do strangers.
The average person in the house says
things to his loved ones that the wiorst
convict would resent. This isn’t in
tentional nor premeditated. It is just
thoughtlessness in the home, the one
place on earth where there could be
the most, thoughtfulness.
Reader, stop and take stock for a
day of the life in the home and remedy
all the habitual faults. You will be
-surprised into wdiat friendship habits
j you have fallen, and rejoice to know
that by comnjonsence and the power
; of God you can get back into the right
living in your own home, and thus
where it is most needed, your influence
will count most largely for bettering
the conditions in the world.
Better home life is the sorest need
in the world today.
| Blessings on our homes.
