BELL ANNOUNCES
AS OWN SUCCESSOR
Johns and Quarterman Make Formal
Statements to the Voters—Good
Men Seeking Office.
The News this week carries several
formal announcements of interest to
our readers.
First comes -Torn Bell, who has an
nounced to succeed himself in congress.
Nothing we could say would add to the
popularity of this flue official and clever
gentleman.
Tom Bell is known personally and by
reputation to practically every man,
woman and child in the Ninth district.
He is one of the strongest members of
the lower house of congress, as well as
one of the most popular memt>ers with
his colleagues; and he is liked and
sought-after by republicans as well as
democrats when important legislation
; on tap.
IJe is a worker and he Is always on
the job in the interests of his constit
uents. He has aided and abetted the
passage of many measures that mean
well for America.
The Ninth will do well to keep Tom
Bell at the helm in Washington for
pother two years.
For state senator Judge G. A. Johns,
of this city, formally gets into the
race. It has been known for months
that at the proper time the Judge
would announce.
He is well known over the district
and has many friends who will rally
to his support. He is qualified to rep
resent the district.
It is understood that if he is nomi
:ated and elected he will stand for the
presidency of the senate. He would till
the chair with credit to himself and re
flect honor on the county that furnishes
him to the state.
In every official position he has held
he has made good. As judge of the City
Court of Jefferson, he held high the
judicial standard and made many
friends by his easy manner, dignified
bearing and impartial conduct of liis
court.
As representative of Barrow in the
house he stands shoulder to shoulder
with the leading lawmakers of the
state.
He is opposed for the state senate
by another prominent and popular
Barrow county citizen, Judson Moore,
of Bethlehem, and if reports can be
relied on, this is going to be a hot finish
Both good men and true. To the
“victor belongs the spoils.”
For Solicitor General of the Western
Circuit, Barrow' furnishes another bid
der in the person of our fellow citizen
William H. Quarterman.
No finer man than Bill Quarterman
practices at the bar of the Western
Circuit.
He is well versed in law. pleasing
?n manner and a wheel-horse for duty
well done.
Eight years ago he ran for this posi
tion with four in the race and he finish
ed second to John Gamble, the winner.
Now he goes in for a second try,
and the people of the circuit must
pass on his case.
If their decision should be in his
favor, they will have a conscientious
public servant who will meet every du
ty of the office squarely and fairly with
ability and vigor—playing no favorites
but rising to the high duties of a pro
secuting attorney.
He is opposed by Solicitor W. O.
Deihi, of Walton, a fine man and a
good prosecuting attorney.
Both men have many friends in the
Western Circuit and indications point
to a lively scramble and an aggres
sive campaign.
Too late for comment last week,
Editor A. G. Lamar threw his old hat
in. the ring and he is now' asking the
voters for the position that he may help
reduce the taxes of burdened people.
Albert is a fine man —in fact too
fine for present day politics.
Having tried the political game just
once to luany times we feel sad when
we read of an editor plunging into the
‘-great unknown depths of slime and
trickery.”
However, both Cox and Harding
once were editors, and it may be the
year for good men in the political
arena.
r. B. Russell, .Tr., opposes Editor
HEamar, and we get it by grapevine
that things are warming up and a hot
race is expected.
of course, it wouldn’t be fair to ask
any of these gentlemen how they stand
on the “paramount issue,” and for sake
@l )t UKitfre?

DR. MATHEWS GONE

JAMES ELMER BROCK DIES
AFTER A FEW HOURS’ ILLNESS
Mr. Elmer Brook, young son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Brock, died at the home
of his parents Saturday afternoon.
The young man was in Winder Fri
day, it is said, and seemed to be in
good health and spirits.
But after reaching home he was sud
denly stricken and rapidly grew worse
until his death' Saturday.
Doctors were summoned, and it is
said were making preparations to car

when death relieved the young man
from his sufferings.
The deceased about seventeen years

neighborhood in which lie lived.

noon. Rev. J. P. Eley conducted the

WILL YOU BE MISSED
Some of these days you, who are
reading this article, are going to die
and pass to your reward —whatever
that reward may be.
Will you leave a void behind?
Will you be missed?
The Creator has ordained that man
must carve out his cai’eer in this world
and when he journeys to the great un
known he leaves behind a record that
is founded upon his own acts.
You may leave behind you a wife
or children, or other dependents. As
you (leal by them, so will their brief
he gauged—tempered at your death.
Will they miss you?
In this town you have friends and
business associates, and perhaps many
acquaintances. They know you as you
are, as you have been these many
years. They have judged you living,
and they will judge you dead.
But will they miss you?
There is no place you may go, no
point on the compass to which you may
turn, but what people have known you
or will know you, and by all of these
you will be judged when you have pass
ed away.
Your family, your associates, your
acquaintances, even your dumb brutes
will remember you after you have pass
ed on.
But will you be missed?-—Exchange.
WE WANT TO SEE YOU.

WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY JULY 29, 1920.
WINDER “SLAUIERED” MONROE IN
YESTERDAY’S GAME; SCORE 12 TO 2
HIGGINS’ SLUGGERS TAKE NINE OUT OF THIRTEEN
GAMES PLAYED SINCE BIRTH OF THE
MILLION DOLLAR LEAGUE.
Winder is just too much for Mon
roe, and there is no reason for Mon
roe fans to feel bad.
They have a good team. For instance
look at Morris. He has the pep and a
whole lot of other tilings that our
laddies never did get next to. But
of course, he comes from near this
town.
The second half of the season start
ed last Thursday, and from what we
had heard, we really thought we would
have some trouble keeping Monroe
from taking all the games, us rumors
were flying around that the moguls
of that city intended to have them if
they had to hire the New York Giants.
But Monroe came and after the first
shock we found the new aggregation
as easy marks as was the first.
So far Winder and Monroe have
played thirteen games and Winder has
won nine, in one instance having to
beat the umpire as well as the ball
players.
On Tuesday Rentz, who had been
defeated on the mound three times by
the locals, was umpiring the game. In
this new position he did what he could
to accomplish our defeat, but he was
short of opportunities. However, he

Editor Winder News:
Please say for me that I am indeed

OUT OF WINDER
Plenty of Work But Nobody Wants a
job—Negro Women Vagrants
Should Be Made to W’ork.
The people of tills country are no
longer in the humor to pay any old
price for labor and then get a cloc.i
watcher or a dinner listener.
Winder is running over with negro
vagarants—negro women who will not
work and who have no visible means
of support.
They should be made to go to work
or get out of town. The few who work
“us a special favor” must have three ,
prices, be petted and given the best in
the house.
For one, we think the time has
arrived to inaugurate a change in the
situation, or reduce the city census
hy a hundred or more of our “un
desirables.”
The labor of this day and time—
when it Is being better paid than at
any time in history—seems to go on
the Idea that big pay means less work.
The situation is illustrated by a
conversation between two negroes on
the streets of Winder the other day.
“Whatcha doin’?” asked one big
burly black.
“Nothin’, and I wants nothin’ to do.
What Use lookin’ fur is dinner time.”
We are soon to be called on to elect
a mayor and three eouncilmen.
Now with no idea of criticism of
past or present city officials, we urge
upon our citizens to call to these places
business men who are willing to sac
rifice time to the duties of the office;
men who stand for law and order;
men who want a clean town and an
industrious people; men who will not
tolerate Idleness and rottenness; men
who feel the responsibility of the oaths
taken, and men who have the courage
to stand hy the law and for the right.
In the meantime, we urge our pres
ent City Fathers to put the idling,
stealing negro wenches- who live by
their wits to work or run them out
of town. i
