THOMPSON WINNER
IN FIRST SEASON
Washington a Close Second, It Tak
ing Final Game to Decide Cham
pionship of First Half.
Thomson wins by a nose in the first
half of the schedule in the Million Dol
lar League.
Thompson started oft' in the lead,
'and only once did she drop to second
place and then she remained there for
only a day. Washington was always
crowding her to the ropes and it look
ed Saturday like Monroe was fixing to
give Thomson a knock-out so far as
winning the first half went. But she
rallied Monday, defeating our neigh
bors Monday and Tuesday, while
Washington was sent down the ladder
by Madison —that team winning three
straights.
Winder struck it hard in Elberton
Monday and Tuesday, dropping two
straights to Elberton after nine consec
utive games were won. Winder contin
ued the tobboggan slide Wednesday los
ing in a hard-fought contest by the
►score of 2 to 1.
But whatever the result of the se
ries with Elberton, it could not have
effected the position of the local team,
for Winder had already cinched third
place in the first half.
But now comes the tug of war.
*They are off on the last lap and Win
der is out for blood.
And the first victims must be our
old favorites—the game sports from
our sister city of Monroe. They are
here today for a series of three games,
and everything points to a battle roy
al.
Monroe has a fine ball team and they
are going after our scalp in earnest.
But Bob Higgins has had his ear to
the ground, has heard the noise and
ready for the onslaught.
In the first half Winder has made
it five to two in the games played,
and we must have two of the three
as a starter on the road to the cham
pionship of the last half. If we can
get by with Monroe we feel sure that
the road to the goal will not be rocky
the balance of the way, for as we said
before, Monroe has a fine team now—
nearly as good as Winder.

DIRT BROKEN MONDAY
PREPARATORY TO PAYING
Dirt was broken Monday morning on
Winder's streets, making ready for the
paving of our principle business
streets.
Tractors, mules and negroes are
busy tearing up and moving dirt, and
it will not be many days before you
can trip along on smooth, cleun streets
in the business section of our town.
Large crowds daily watch the work
men as they systematically go at the
task.
BILL PERMITS
NONPAR STOCK
Issuance of non-par value stock I>y
corporations is authorized by a bill
passed by the senate Tuesday. It
was introduced by Senator Ivan E.
Allen, of Atlanta, and if it becomes
law by a favorable vote in the House
is expected to induce corporations to
obtain their charters in this State
rather than in Delaware or other
States.
At present many large Georgia cor
porations similar to the Coca-Cola
Company, have had their charters is
sued in Delaware, because the laws of
that State are more liberal than in
this State.
Senator Allen said he believed pas
sage of this bill will not only cause
Georgia corporations to obtain their
charters here, but will induce those
in other States to establish their home
offices in Georgia.
Senator Bowden's bill to require the
registration of all institutions and or
ganizations supported in whole or in
part by charitable solicitation and do
nation was passed unanimously. It
requires all such organizations to ob
tain a license from the State Board
of Public Welfare, but fixes no fee
for the license. The purpose is to
prevent solicitation for charity by im
proper agencies.
GOVERNOR DORSEY
SIGNS LOCAL BILL
Monday Governor Dorsey signed the
local bill granting the people of Bar
row county the right to vote on the
question of placing the affairs of the
county in the hands of a Board of Com
missioners.
The bill, if ratified by the voters,
provides that the Grand Jury shall
recommend and the judge of the Wes
tern circuit shall appoint three com
missioners.
We have not read the bill, but we
have been informed that the county is
to be divided into three road districts
and a commissioner named from each
road district.
The question will be submitted to
the voters of Barrow at the September
primary, and if the voters recommend
the change the September Grand Jury
will name the commissioners and their
appointment will follow and they will
enter upon their duties the first of
lanuary, 1921.
Just what the voters will do with
the proposition is problematical.
Many believe the interests of the
■ounty can best be served by leaving
he matter of road working as it is
ow —under the Ordinary.
Others would have a superintendent
of roads elected by the people and sub
ject to recall by the grand jury.
Still others would have three com
missioners, but want them elected by
the voters instead of appointed by the
judge.
Just what the voters will say about
more red tape and increased salaries
remains to lie answered in September.

EDITOR WATCHES
WEEVILAT WORK
Yes, the Doll weevil is here, and he
is an industrious critter.
We have seen him busy at his job of
destruction.
Last Wednesday morning, Mr. J.
M. Magness, who lives on the 8. F.
Pirkle place a few miles below Win-,
der, brought to The News office a
trained live weevil.
With many dead squares, the re
sult of the weevil’s long augur, the
insect was encased in a glass jar.
fir. Magness took the weevil from
the jar, produced a fresh square and
proceeded to give us a demonstration
of Mr. Weevil’s handiwork.
The weevil proceeded to business at
once, lighting on the square mid be
gan the process of puncturing.
When the hole was deep enough, the
weevil withdrew his borer, turned
round and deposited an egg in the hole.
Mr. Magness says he has had this
weevil in captivity about a week, and
says the weevil is always ready for
the square.
We are not pessimistic, hut after this
demonstration and reports coming to
this office of the appearance of the
weevil in many sections, we predict
that land for cotton purposes has about
touched high-tide prices, and that there
is trouble ahead for the cotton planter
of North Georgia.
FOOD SHORTAGE
coming mm
Atlanta, July 20—(Special)—Re
ports reaching the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture from all parts of
the country, strongly indicate a con
siderable food shortage the coming
winter and spring, unless measures are
taken now to avert it.
There is l every apparent reason why
the farmers of Georgia should profit
by this condition, states Commissioner
J. J. Brown. They can put in fall
crops of the hardier vegetables like
Irisii potatoes, turnips and others, with
the prospect of a fine demand at good
prices.
Georgia farmers should also be mak
ing tlieir plans now to put in the best
wheat crop the state ever had. It will
lie a good thing for them to devote
their very best acres to this crop, pre
paring them as soon ns possible, and
planting just as early as the danger
of damage by the Hessian Fly has
pass'd.
These suggestions are made by the
Department, both in the interest of the
farmer and the consumer; for it looks
now as if the consumers will need
more food than is going to be made,
and the demand promises to hold up
well during the next twelve months
or more.
Tiie Georgia Department of Agricul
ture lias noted with interest and pleas
ure the recent rapid advances made
in the prices of cotton. Nevertheless
the Department feels it is only proper
to caution and advise Georgia farmers
not to get excited over tiie upward
turn, and not to rush tlieir cotton rap
idly to market, a course the evil ef
fect of which in former seasons, is
only too well known.
A short cotton crop is inevitable, de
clares Commissioner Brown, who has
visited every section of tbc State and
made close observation of crop con
ditions. Considering tbe present de
mand and the good prices at which
manufactured cotton goods are being
sold, the tendency of raw cotton must
he upward, Mr. Brown states.
“If cotton producers are not in a
hurry to sell, and the law of supply
and demand Is made to operate as
it should, in the process of putting
cotton on the market,” said Mr. Brown
“there is no doubt in my miml that
record-breaking prices will prevail.”
