THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM THURSDAY, July 29— Constance Tal madge in “Who Cares FRIDAY, July SO—Wallace Reed In “THE DUB” SATURDAY, July SI —Silent Avenger; Western Feature. Comedy VOL. XXVII. 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? Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right DR. MATHEWS GONE FOR TWO WEEKS Dr. W. L. Mathews will leave next Tuesday for Baltimore where he goes to take a special course in the United States Public Health Hospital locuted in that city. The course opens on the sth and closes the 14th. So Dr. Mathews will be absent from Winder some fifteen days. His wife and mother, Mrs. W. E. Mathews, will accompany the doctor as far as Asheville, where they will remain for a vacation until his return. 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 ry him to Atlanta for an operation when death relieved the young man from his sufferings. The deceased about seventeen years of age and was very popular in the neighborhood in which lie lived. The funeral was held Sunday after noon. Rev. J. P. Eley conducted the services. The remains were interred in Rose Hill cemetery in this city. 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.

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.

THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM MONDAY August 2—Viola Dana in “DANGEROUS TO MAN” TUESDAY, August 3—Madeline Travis in “Hell Ship.” Comedy. WEDNESDAY, August 4—Alice Brady In “SINNERS” RUN THE IDLERS 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 MRS. SARA JANE SEGARS PASSES TO FLVNL REST Mrs. Sara Jane Segars, wife of the late Henry S. Segars, died last Sunday afternoon. With some of her children Mrs. Se gars left Sunday morning for Bost wick, Ga., to visit Mr. Hugh Wallace, her only living brother.
