WINDER MONROE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY VOL. XXVII. 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.

Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right 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. MR. ASA CHRISTIAN ON ON VISIT TO HIS OLI) HOME Mr. Asa Christian, of Alabarfri, is spending a few days in and around Winder, the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Marshal Morgan.

GOVERNMENT ORDERS PROBE OF OIL INTEREST Washington, July 21 —The depart ment of justice lias ordered an in vestigation of the operations of oil producers and other oil interests. The investigation was undertaken after charges had reached the department that Western oil interests, particular in California, were following practices which violated the Lever act. An other government department, the Fed eral Trade Commission, has been in vestigating for some time alleged vio lations of the Clayton anti-trust law by oil interests whose names are not revealed.

The deceased is survived by his wife and five children. 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.” WINDER yg MONROE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY STRAND THEATER TO OPEN FRIDAY Manager Ijove Will Book Finest At tractions Known to Screen When Doors Are Again Opened.
