WINDER CLIMBING
TOWARD TOP RING
After Two Straights in Favor of Win
der the Elberton Players Resort to
Baby Act and Leave Field
Elberton has come and gone, and our
fans are glad of it.
Over Winder way we love baseball,
but we want clean ball, played by clean
sports. We had rather see our boys
go down in defeat in every game than
to see them disgrace their backers by
baseball dirt-dauber tactics.
Elberton is too flue a town to send
out a bunch of rough-necks. We learn
that most of her players are college
men who deplore the gutter tendency
of the leaders. Surely Elberton will
not long tolerate the few beefing toughs
who disgrace the gentlemanly backers
of the team.
•Winder has enthusiastic fans who
go to the game to see ball playing, and
it is their right to get their money’s
worth and not be robbed by the conduct
of a manager who surely misrepresents
the town that pays his salary.
Such stunts as was pulled off at Win
der by the Elberton manager will soon
kill the game in the Million Dollar
League. Small towns will not stand for
blackguards and toughs.
With two or three notable exceptions
the players on the local diamond have
deported themselves like gentlemen
both in defeat and victory.
In the series with Elberton the lo
cals took the first two games, and in
the third, with the score standing one
and one the visitors left the field and
the umpire forfeited the game to Win
der by the score of 9 to 0. Winder
had a man on second when the visitors
quit. The first day the umpire had to
appeal to the police to lead a big
beefer from the field. Saturday’s game
started with mutterings and ended as
stated above.
Winder started the week off Monday
by defeating Madison by the score of
2to 1. This was said to be one of the
finest exhibitions of ball playing seen
on a Million Dollar diamond. Madi
son has strengthened her team and the
earmarks point to trouble for Winder
before the series of six games are over.
Settles was the star of this game, get
ting a home run and a three-bagger, as
well as scoring the two runs made
And Wednesday Winder made it
three straights with Madison by tak
ing the gapie by a score of 3 to 1. All
three of the games with Madison have
been hard faught, and some of the
best ball playing of the league was
■ seen by enthusiastic fans. Many Win
der fans went down to Madison each
day to see the game.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Mad
ison plays Winder on the local diamond
and large crowds are expected 1 to see
the Climbers and the tail-euders bat
tle for victory.

stem the advance of Russian Bolshe
viki on the southern frout have taken

Sunday went over the Horse Shoe

many Harrow comity citizens who trav

successful star in the theatrical world. She begins rehearsals
for another one of Mr. Cart’s shows in August. This play will
be staged at the Knickerbocker Theater in New York in Sep

the little Winder school girl, overcame what would be to less
ambitious people, unsurmountable obstacles and has made her
way to the front on the American stage unsupported and alone.
She has made many warm personal friends in Winder, who,
like the foamy bands of the briny deep, are giving to her a
perpetual encore.
FAVORS REFERRING CAPITOL
REMOVAL TO THE PEOPLE
Atlanta—The Dixon resolution re
questing the state executive committee
to put on the ballot in the fall elec
tion the proposal of removing the state
capital to Macon has been adopted by
the state senate by a vote of 29 to 22.
The question stated in the Dixon
request resolution will permit the voter
if the referendum is conducted, to
choose between the alternative of mov
ing the capital to Macon and accept
ing a gift of $3,000,000 or of keeping
the capital in Atlanta and appropriat
ing $2,000,000 to meet expenses for re
pairs.
The question now goes to bouse,
and it is expected to provoke lively
discussion. If accepted by the house
then the people will have an opportu
nity to say whether they favor or dis
approve Macon’s capital removal prop
osition.
F. \Y. SHULTZ BUYS OUT
SUMMEROUR GROCERY STORE
Mr. J. W. Summerour has sold his
grocery business on Athens street to
Mr. F. W. Shultz, of Ocilla, Ga., and
stock is now being taken with a view
to turning over the business to the
new comer.
Mr. Shultz had never visited Winder
until a few days ago. He decided to
leave Ocilla, and packed the things
he had and had them shipped to Athens
but after one look at Winder he began;
scouting for a location. Finding none,
he decided to buy someone out, and
he was not long in striking a trade
with Mr. Summerour.
Mr. Summerour will devote his en
tire time to his mercantile business
on Broad street.
The News man ventured to remark
that Mr. Summerour would be back
in the grocery business by fall, but
our friend J. G. Cooper facetiously re
marked that he througlit we were mis
tak si. He was sure Jim Summerour
would rather smell face powder than j
meat.

BACK TO NORMAL
IS THE CRY OF ALL
When will things get back to nor
mal? This question is on everyone’s
lips. It expresses the desire deep
down in the heart of nine-tenths of
the people. They want to know when
they will be on solid ground once
more and every man can plan with
confidence to carry oi his business.
When will the world catch up.
When will it make good the loss
caused by the war? It is estimated
by leading authorities that 200 billions
of wealth was destroyed and that
nearly ail working capital, which would
have been productive if it had not been
wasted.
About half the working capital of
the nation engaged in the war was
destroyed. It was the accumulation
of years of industry, production and
saving. It was the coined energy of
a whole generation that was thrown
away.
The world can never get on as well
as it did until this lost capital is re
stored. How can that be done? By
only one method, producing wealth and
saving part of it. The time it will
take to recoup the world’s loss depends
on the willingness of the people to
work and save. With full production
and reasonable economy, steady kept
up. we will regain the lost ground in
a surprisingly short time, but with
half hearted work, and continued ex
travagance, the struggle will last for
generations.
With these facts before us, it be
comes every man’s problem, every
woman's problem and the problem of
every boy and girl. Industry must
be the keynote, production and saving
the refrain and these must be the
household words throughout the land
and throughout the world before we
can hope to regain the lost ground.
While we reconstruct the w-orld we
build ourselves. While we are mak
ing good its lost working capital, we
add to our own wealth.
What is better, we are building
character into ourselves all the time
by our example and the precept that
goes with it. we are building character
into our children. In the meantime
we are accumulating the means to
complete their education.
A Savings Stamp bought every week
will amount to $2,600 in 10 years and
this will put a boy or girl through
college, or give them a start in busi
ness.
DORSEY TO MAKE FOR SENATE
A dispatch to The Macon News from
Atlanta says that Governor Dorsey
