BAND WELCOMES REED BACK HOME Senator Tells Cheering Kansas, Crowd That “it’s a League of Treason” United States No One-Man Country. ■ When Senator Reed reached Kansas e’ity, Mo., after being turned down by the Wilson Sun Francisco convention he was met at the Union Station by a crowd of meu and women headed by a brass band. He was escorted by a parade to convention hall, where a miss meeting was held. Addressing the mass meeting. Sen ator Reed declared that he was private ly assured by “grapevine massages” while his case was being heard, that the credentials committee of the con vention would seat him if he would agree to keep silent in regard to the league of nations on the convention floor. His refusal to make such an agreement was responsible for his be ing denied a seat, he said. “If there is one lesson that this country needs to learn,” Senator Reed said in his speech, “it is that this is not a one-man country. If you would keep this republic safe you must do your own thinking. You, the people, are the source of all power. The sooner you exercise it the better it will be for you and the country.” Senator Reed denounced the democratic convention at San Francisco “a convention afflict ed with international blind staggers.” Without direct personal reference to any one. Senator Reed declared there was little difference between the doc trine of the divine right of kings “and the modern doctrine that a man elected to office becomes thereby a leader and that all who differ with him are excom municated and outcast.” Robert Lansing, ex-secretary of state, he described as the only man whom the president took to France with him who knew anything about international law “and about the only one who had ordi nary common sense,” and he asserted that Lansing’s removal from office was the result of “his insistence upon warn ing the people of the true leaning of this league of treason, this covenant of national death.” Senator Reed declared that “this in formation in regard to what the league really means is going to the people and they shall know the truth.” Heed was received with enthusiasm and a resolution adopted by a rising vote denouncing the action of the dem ocratic national convention “in deny ing representation to seat this commun ity in refusing to seat Senator Reed.” and indorsing the senator's stand, was telegraphed to the democratic conven tion.

UDittfcr ifem Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right WASHINGTON TO RECOGNIZE DeLa HUERTA GOVERNMENT IF REFORMS ARE ASSURED Washington, July 7—The Mexican situation is receiving more careful study by the American government than has any subject since the I‘aris peace conference. It was stated today at the state department. This is with a view to according recognition to De La Huerta's provisional government, provided satisfactory assurances are given that it can and will maintain order and will live up to its obliga tions respecting the protection of the lives and property of foreigners. Iglesias Calderon, the special envoy sent by De La Huerta to urge recog nition, will ask for another conference with Acting Secretary Davis as soon as he has discussed the situation with the members of his staff who have just arrived here from Mexico City. American officials, it is stated au thoratively, are impressed with the ev ident sincerity of the expressions of De La Huerta and of the efforts to bring about order in Mexico, but they have taken note that the active work ers in the various departments of the Mexican government have not been changed and that the newly appointed cabinet officers leave the work of their offices chiefly to the same men who conducted the affairs under Carranza.

WARNSWORLD OF COTTON SHORTAGE Manchester, England.—Prof. J. A. Tood, secretary of the empire cotton growing committee of the board of trade, has just delivered to the textile institution a warning of the prospect ive world scarcity of cotton in the near future and emphasized the need for developing new sources of supply as well as experimenting with cotton substitutes. After dealing exhaustively with the labor position in the United States cotton growing aresa, bad weather and ravages by boll weevil as well as the acreage position the professor said, “it is obvious that we are not going to get 15,000,000 bales of cot ton this year.” At home it seemed to him the consumers had not yet felt the full weight of the high cost of the raw material. Even in America he did not see much sign of the consum er's intention of doing without cotton fabrics. The statistics for America’s domes tic consumption for the first three months of the year were on a basis uncomfortably near to 7,000,000 bales a year. British consumption before the war was nearly 4/KK),000 bales and the total American crop last year was only 11,000,000 What was going to happen when the rest of the world— and particuarly the continental coun tries —woke up and began to demand more cotton By next year, he said, the continen tal mills probably would be more ac tive than now and the demand increas ed and the oriental demand would al so be much higher So long as the workers and produc ers of the world were making so much more money than they ever did be fore he did not see how the demand for cotton goods was even going to be sub stantial reduced The world was not producing sufficient cotton to meet this demand and was not likely to do so unless some way was devised of mak ing use of even the lowest grade WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY JULY 8, 1920 CITY FATHERS LET PAVING CONTRACT Must He Completed In One Hundred and Ninety-Five Days From Date of Contract—.lnly 2, 1920. £ m m Wimlerites are soon to walk on paved streets. Our city fathers on July 2, 1920. signed a contract with the Passmore Davis Construction Company of Ma con, for the paving of Broad, Candler, Jackson and Athens streets, according to the plan outlined by the city fa thers some weeks ago. The bid is said to be $3.40 per square yard. For some weeks the mayor and, coun cil have been considering calling off the puviug project, owing to the high cost of material and unreliable trans portation facilities. But in material for this kind of progress, Winder is blessed. Right within her limits can be found unlim ited quantities of rook suitable for pav ing purposes, and neurby can be found the necessary sand. Machinery for rock crushing is on the way, and in the next few days the contractor will have a force of bands on the job. The contract time limit is one hun dred and ninety-five days. GEORGIA SOLONS PLEDGE COX AID Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—Reconvening after its holiday, beginning last Friday afternoon, the Georgia legislature on Tuesday morning got down to business again, passing a number of important measures and introducing many oth ers. One of the first measures adopted was a privileged resolution of Mr. Dobbs, of Cobb, commending the demo nating Governor Cox, of Ohio, for pres nating Governor Cox, f Ohio, for pres ident, and extending hearty congratu lations to Governor Cox upon his choice as the national standard bearer of the democratic party. The resolution, which was unanimously passed, also assured Governor Cox of the support of the members of the house in the coming campaign. MR. RUFUS L. CALLAHAN DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Mr. Rufus L. Callahan died Wednes day morning after a long, lingering illness. Mr. Callahan was a fine young man, and for a number of years was one of Winder’s efficient policemen. Resigning his position in this city for a number of years he was with the Seaboard railway in the secret ser vice with headquarters in Atlanta. Failing health caused him to sever connections with the Seaboard and he returned to Barrow county and for awhile lived on a farm in Chandler’s district. About the first of the year he mov ed to Winder. Many times have reports from his bedside stated that he was dying, but the brave fight he was making for life staved off death. Tuberculosis, the great white plague, proved too much for his weaking frame md Wednesday morning he peacefully crossed over to the other side. The funeral was preached at the Baptist church Thursday morning by fohn H. Wood, assisted by Revs. John i. Mashburn and W. H. Faust. The interment was in Booth cemetery n Chandler’s district. He is survived by his wife, a little daughter, his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Callahan; two brothers, J. 11. Callahan of Crawfordville and J. E. Callahan of Winder: three sisters, Mrs. I’. I’. Jen nings, of Winder; Mrs. W. E. O’Neal >f Union Point and Mrs. W. B. Murden of Robinson, Ga A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT Eighty per cent of all apologies are not meant and the other twenty per cent are not believed. A word to the wise is sufficient. To the fool it is one too many. It's no disgrace for a brave man to admit that he has been licked by a better man. Only the craven tries to bluff it out afterwards. FOUR OUT OF SIX IS WEEK’S RESULT Winder Takes Five Out of Seven Games Played Thus Far With Monroe. Pretty Good. Thank You. The Million Dollar League is mov ing along—not smoothly, but moving. The old sport rivals have been at it again this week. Monroe and Win der. and Winder put it over to the tune of two to one. The baseball week started off on the home diamond with Winder fac ing Washington, and the locals trimmed the niffty Washington team by tak ing two out of the series, and repeat ’d by giving Monrot* the same kind of a drubbing. Four games out of six each week will satisfy the Winder fans and scare the leaders. With the exception of one game, ev ery game played on the local diamond the last six days were good exhibi tions of ball playing. Monday’s game with Monroe was rhe hardest fought we have ever seen, not excepting Southern League games. Cochran was doing the twirling for Winder while Rentz was handling the horse hide for Monroe. And it was a battle royal between pitchers. The support of Cochran was faultless and not a Monroe man cross ed the home plate. After the first inning, when Rentz struck his stride, there was nothing doing, but the game bad already been won. The feature of the game was the base running of Guyon, the South’s greatest football player, who beat out a bunt, and stole in home. Few of the fans knew of Guyon’s presence, having reached Winder only a short while before the game was called. The next day Monroe turned the tables on us and shut us out. This also was said to be a pretty game. But there is joy even in this defeat, as it took a Barrow county boy to give is the drubbing. Bunkum Morris was on the firing line, and reports from Monroe where the firing was done it seems that he had things pretty much his way. But, just for that, Wednesday Win der batted the ball all over the field, taking the game in a walk by the score >f 12 to 1. Jenkins did the pitching for the locals. We are sorry for our newspaper friends over at Monroe, They are true sports and if they had half a chance they would write columns about the lickings Monroe handed Winder, but it takes ginger to win ball games and Winder players and Winder fans are stocked up on ginger. Five out of seven is the record writ ten by Winder and Monroe —and one of the two of Monroe’s credit was won by a home run in the twelth inning. Fine, mighty fine. Now for Elberton. We must have two out of three. Game called at 4:15. Fill the grand stands and bleachers. ************ * STANDING OF CLUBS a************ Thompson 15 4 .7KO Washington 14 •> -'-8 Winder 9 1" Monroe 9 19 - 4 ®B Elberton " 12 :164 Madison 3 1® - 4 '’® TO MAKE SURE HE WAS DEAD The enterprising company in the Soudan had decided to lay a railway into the wilds and. of course, many blacks were employed in its construc tion.

This was a victory for the highway hoard and its program of road con truction and it is now doubtful wheth er advocates of county distribution can command a majority of the house, >ven if the Knight resolution is ever brought to a vote this year. When it became evident at the meet ing Tuesday afternoon that a major ity of the appropriations committee was opposed to the Knight resolution, hut that certain members of the house felt themselves bound by an agreement made with the county distribution ad vocates last year, a sub-committee, composed of Williams, of Walton; Al frieud, of Baldwin; and Covington, of Colquitt, was appointed to re-draft *he Knight resolution so as to make it conform to section 20 of the motor vehicle act, which was repealed by a enflicting section of the highway de partment reorganization bill, which was signed last by the governor. When this sub-committee reported Wednesday it was found that, its mem bers were not In agrement on their report and that Mr. Alfriend, of Buhl win, one of them, had himself pre pared a substitute. The whole com mittee, after debating the question for about an hour, seemed to be farther 'rom agreement than the sub-eommit tee. It rejected the report of the sub committee, which seemed to satisfy neither side, and Mr. Alfrlend’s sub stitute. and then voted down a propo sition to refer the matter to anew subcommittee with instructions to re tort back at 9:30 Thursday morning. At this stage. Mr. Moore of Fulton, moved to report the original resolution with a recommendation that it do not pass and **>’-.* was carried by a major ity of votes.

BY GOVERNOR COX Took Forty Four Ballots To Decide Who Would Be The Democratic ; Standard Bearer— Roosevelt Running Mate of Cox, James M. Cox, three times governos of Ohio, was nominated for the presK, deucy early Tuesday, morning by the democratic national convention sitting at San Francisco. It took forty-four ballots to make a choice. The convention had been dead locked since last Friday, with the del egates wavering between Cox, McAdoo and Palmer. On the 39th ballot Cox begun to ease away from McAdoo, his nearest oppon-* ent. Then Palmer retired, releasing his delegates, and every ballot after that showed Cox climbing toward the goal. When victory was attained in the for ty-fourth, the roll call was stopped and Cox nominated unanimously by accla mation.

GOOD WOMAN DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS ■Late Monday afternoon our people were shocked to learn that Mrs. J. B. Law had just died. Something over a year ago, with her husband and young son, Mrs. Law moved to this city. Since coming to Winder she had made many warm per sonal friends. She was a good woman, active itt church and social movements, and she will he greatly missed by not only her own little congregation of Presbyter ians, but by all the protestant denom inations of the city. The deceased was ill only a few lays, suffering from jaundice, but com plication set in and she sank rapidly dying about 8 o'clock Monday after noon. The deceased was 47 years of age id the mother of two children, John ’>. Law, of Atlanta, and Frazier Law, >f this city, who with her husband ■ urvive her.

Bryan, today in giving his reason for not making any extended statement on the work of the democratic national convention. “My views on the convention’s ac tion in reference to the indorsement of prohibition are known,” said Mr. Hryau. "I regard it as a very serious mistake—it opened the door to the nomination of a wet candidate. 1 need not repeat here what I have said be fore in regard to the evasion of other issues.” BIT NO ‘SO ON” The lecturer was growing very ve hement in the course of the address. His subject was “The Ideal Wife.” 's we all know,” he said, “the duty ■f a wife is to be a Moving helpmate o her husband, by cooking his food, attending to his various requirements •onducting his household affairs prop rly, and so on and so on.” Then a lc fellow in front got up and blurt ed out: “They don’t do that last thing you mentioned mister.” “Which one is that?” asked the lecturer. “Why,” said the little fellow, “sew on and sew on.” And he proceeded to exhibit how a safety pin did duty for a button on his trousers. Someone ought to tell congress the war is over. It's a burning shame to keep our dear senators and congress men in ignorance of this fact ali of these months. NO. £&;
