Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right
SUPERIOR COURT
NOW IN SESSION
E. A. Starr Selected Foreman of the
Grand Jury and N. I). Meadow
Acting as Clerk.
Barrow Superior Court convened at
the appointed time Monday morning,
and began its slow grind of justice.
As usual, Judge Cobb delivered a tine
charge to the grand jury, stressing the
need for the observance of law. The
grand jury settled down to its duties,
Mr. E. A. Starr having been selected
as foreman.
There were only six uncontested
divorce cases on the calendar for this
term of the court and two of these
were disposed of in a few minutes.
Then court struck a snag which-'held
the machinery for two days. It was
the case of IT W. Copeland vs G. M.
Sims, et al. It was a long drawn-out
tedious and worrysome trial that block
ed the calendar. The court is now
running four days behind its schedule,
and the outlook is that the court will
not be able to try more than four con
tested cased during the first week of
the session. With good luck the court
will begin Tuesday’s schedule of the
civil docket of the first week on Thurs
day morning of the second week. The
jury in Copeland case,as was expected,
rendered their verdict in accordance
with the written instruments submit
ted to them.
Quite a number of prominent visiting
attorneys have been in constant at
tendance upon the court awaiting the
call of the cases in which they are in
terested. Among those noted by the
editor were: Judge Arthur Powell and
B. H. Conyers, of Atlanta; T. J. Shack
elford and Will King Meadow, of
Athens; Judge Weaver and W. L.
Oliver, of Gainesville; Messrs. Faust
and Parks of Greensboro; Messrs. Irwin
and Nix, of Lawrenceville; F. A. Gil
len, of Watkinsville; Lucien Ray and
Jerry Ayers, of Jefferson, besides local
attorneys and many clients and wit
nesses from a distance. It seems hard
to arrange a calendar in Barrow coun
ty that will steer the court anyway
near schedule time. At one term of
the court here the calendar fell down
and the judge had practically nothing
to do for two days. This time, is seems
the court had much to do in one day.
Such is litigation, hut there are many
anxious litigants in Barrow county who
are becoming tired of awaiting their
turn at the wheel of justice
BONDED WAREHOUSE MEANS
MUCH TO BARROW COUNTY
Winder has a bonded warehouse
and is now ready to weigh and store
cotton.
This is the Rogers Bonded Ware
house. When you put your cotton in
a bonded warehouse your receipt is
almost as good as cash.
Banks will advance you money on
the receipt and you on hold your cot
ton. The banks can use the receipt
as collateral and business goes on with
out a hitch—almost the same as if
you sold.
Trie street paving has progressed
beyond the bonded warehouse, and you
can now reach the soles.
BARROW COMMITTEEMEN
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE
There are no funds so far with which
to hold the primary election next Wed
nesday, but the election must be held.
If no blanks for the purpose are for
warded from the State Secretary, the
News will furnish them not later than
next Tuesday. Volunteers are called
for in each militia district, and we
would like for the interest of both
candidates to be represented equally
on the board of managers and clerks.
We have the assurance from parties
interested in the race that they will
l>e on hand to help hold the election.
Report to the committeemen in your
particular district.

WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 19110.
WINDER TO HAVE
FOOTBALL SPORT
Winder lias a football team, and
that team Is sweating under the collar
to get into real action.
We learn that two games have al
ready been booked and that others will
be forthcoming.
For several days our boys have been
practicing, and they are ginb to give
practicing, and they are going to give
some trouble before they can he pushed
back for a goal.
The first game is scheduled for next
Saturday between the locals and Tech
second eleven.
Then on October 3 the Riverside boys
art coming for a game.
This is anew kind of sport for local
fans on the home ground, hut it is safe
say that the boys will be backed by au
enthusiastic buuch of rooters.
GEORGIA LEADING STATES OE
NATION IN PLURAL BIRTHS
During the past six months Georgia
has scored another record. In the race
between the states to see which one
could roll up the highest total of plural
births, the Empire State has come out
victorious at the end of the tirst half
lap of the unnual course with 483
cuses on tile, or ail average* of fifteen
for every one thousand births.
Statistics reveal the fact that 475
of these cases are twins; of which
168 sets were mule, 138 female and
10b are male and female. There are
so fur seven sets of triplets and one
set of quadruplets. Iu the latter ‘event'
Georgia cored by a margin of two dur
ing 1!)19, there being no records re
ported from other states. Dr. Davis,
of the state board of health says tliat
it looks as though this state will take
this classification hands down again.
The 1920 birth rate, as estimated in
light of the past six months, promises
to lead the country at 25.9 per 1,000
population. If this prediction is realiz
ed, it will represent 74,952 births,
which is an average of 6,240 per month.
Through June, 31,56(3 birth certificates
had been tiled, and it is believed that
5,910 have been overlooked.
More Males Born.
It is interesting to note that the
male birth rate is in excess of tlie
female, yet it is popularly supposed
that there are decidely more women
in the state than men. The male births
through* June are 10.131, while the
female births are 15,356.
WILL REEVES SUSTAINS
LCSS FROM BURNING BARN
Mr. Will Reeves, who lives out be
yond Carter Hill, had the misfortune
to lose lii.s barn by tire last Saturday
night. In the burn at the time of
the fire were two automobiles, truck
and a wagon and harness.
Just how the fire originated is not
known. It is said that the truck and
automobiles bad not been used in sev
eral days, and that no tire had been
about the barn.
EDITOR S SUGGESTION
CAUSED TAX PAYERS
TO TAKE NOTICE
Last week we suggested a woman
mayor for the city of Winder. The
idea did not take very well with some
of our business men. But our sugges
tion did do this: It caused some of
the most prominent property owners
of the city to begin taking stock of
municipal affairs in efforts to discover
just ‘where we were at" and whither
we are drifting.
We have been requested to advocate
the calling of a mass-meeting of the
citizenship of Winder to advise ways
and means to induce the real* backbone
and ribs of town to perform their prop
er functions. But we most respectfully
ask to be excused from taking the ini
tiative in this movement. Our past
experience of standing alone in the
open field trying to knock a regiment
down witli a cornstalk teaches us to
beware. We have gotten our consent
to suffer our full share of the conse
quences of indifference to public wel
fare in-so-fnr as it pertains to the in
competent management of city affairs.
A parusal of Winder’s budget for
next year might prove of real interest
to the taxpayers, but we doubt its being
of much concern to the registered voters
We suggested women on the hoard of
mayor and council because they are of
in inquiring turn of mind.
Lei's have a woman for mayor.

WINDER WOMEN
SHOULD REGISTER
Interest in Their Homes and Their City
Should Call For Prompt Regis
tration For City Primary.
Secretary Colby has declared the
women of America enfranchized.
Many cities and towns in Georgia are
preparing for their women to partici
pate in elections this year if they so
desire.
The registration book for the City
primary election is soon to open and
there is no reason why our suffra
ge.;es should not qualify for partici
pa'inn in the selection of men or women 1
to run the affairs of the city for tlie,
next two years.
Sineo we have been at the head of
The .- e>vs scores of women as well as
lm i have told us how a city should
be run and wliat the particular duty
of a newspaper in the running thereof
consisted.
•Now these women have the legal
right to help in civic affairs and we are
anxious for them to show mere man
how to select men or women to look
after public problems.
For us, we believe in a commission
form of government. We believe It
would be better, cheaper and more pro
gressive.
But that is u horse of unother color
and a matter for the future.
In November we must select men to
look after Winder for two years, and
we feel sure we voice the great senti
ment of our people when we say that
these men should he chosen from among
the most clear-headed and business
wise of our citizens.
Taxes are high, and are going high
er year after year. Valuations have
been raised and the rate raised until
it is becoming burdensome
We believe iu progress and going for
ward, hut we should progress wisely
on a firm foundation.
We need men at the head of Win
der civically capable of looking ahead;
men who scent danger before it is
too late; men who will refuse to bring
about a condition that will necessitate
a furl her▼aise in our already too high
tax rate
We believe that if women will par
ticipate in the selection of these men,
men will not he elected to board of al
dermen or mayor because lit* favors
hog pens or opposes compulsory vac
cination; no man will be elected be
cause fie is connected with this or that
financial institution; nor will he be
chosen sinlply because he is popular re
gardless of his business ability, but
he will be chosen because of his fit
ness fur the office he seeks and because
of his safe, sune and sound business
qualifications
There is a quiet move on foot to
seek just such men for mayor and
councilman this year.
Besides George Thompson, already
announced, we have heard the names of
It. L. lingers, G. N. Bagwell, John M.
Williams and C. O. Niblack mentioned
in connection with the mayor’s office.
Then we have heard the names of W.
M. Holsenbeck, J. A. DeLay, Guy Kil
gore, (’. C. Gregory, J. J. Wilson, J.
T. Strange, W. It. Smith, Claude Mayne,
Dr. ('. B. Almond and A. S. Morgan 1
mentioned in connection with the Al
dermanic Board.
Think about it, voters of Winder. We
are approaching the readjustment times
in civic as well as industrial affairs and
the men we select to perform civic
duties is going to mean much for the
future of our town in the way of sta- j
ble properity and individual safety.
We must go forward, but we must'
go forward with due consideration for
the individual taxpayer, and to do this'
we must call to these positions men of
ability without prejudice who have no
axe to grind except the one which trims
us all alike.
DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. New

And now pratically all antomobile
manufacturers are following suit.
Cotton goods have started on the
downward puth and if it continues for
uwhile longer It may be possible to
buy an apron for your wife without
bankruptcy
Sugar is taking to the low ground,
flour is receding, shoes have eased off
a little
The papers are full of second-hand
car ads and signs point to a general

BARROW COUNTY CHAPTER
TAKES LEAD IN GIVING
ACTIVE RED CROSS AID
The Barrow County Chapter Amer
ican Red Cross have secured the servi
ces of Mrs. Ruby C. Worsham, Red
Cross Public Health Nurse, and she will
he in charge of the Educational Booth
at the North Georgia Fair, which
begins here next Tuesday.
The Red Cross Executive Committee
composed of Messrs. Miles C. Wiley,
Claud Mayne, E. A. Starr and Cob
J. c. Pratt, are indeed fortunate in
'procuring Mrs. Worsham for this very
' important work, as she has many
| years experience in this line of work,
' and she comes highly recommended.
Mrs. Worsham, will teach classes
in home nursing, teaching the pre
vention of illness, as well as the care
of patients. Inspection of school child
ren in order to discover defects which
hinder their development, will he in
culded in her duties. It is also her
Intention to establish child welfare
centers, where babies will he weighed,-
measured and records kept of their
development. She will give bedside
attention to the sick in the homes,
where possible, for purposes of de
monstrating to members of the family.
It is not possible for her to stay in a
home over night or all day, but help
will be given for a few hours.
It is difficult to estimate the im
mense value of such services as will
be rendered by Mrs. Worsham and we
are glad to see Winder and Barrow
County taking the lead in this
welfare work and other surrounding
counties, hearing of the work begun
by us are already preparing to follow
methods along the same line.
It Is a recognized scientific fact that
thousands of people—particularly in
fants—die yearly from preventable
diseases, and is is a great economic ad
vantage to say nothing of the preven
tion of sorrow and suffering, to have
one well versed in the art of nursing
to render preventative measures to
overcome disease in its incipiency
These home nursing classes should
t>e well attended for it is of prime im
portance that we should learn to suc
cessfully combat disease of all kinds,
and especially to know what* to do in
the Iteginning, before a malady has
taken a firm hold.
See the big float in the parade and
and visit Mrs. Worsham at the Educa
tional Booth at the Fair and make it
your headquarters and you may learn
something that will be of inestimable
benefit to you and to humanity.
GET READY FOR THE FAIR

The ladies are earnestly requested
to decorate their homes for Fair week.

make this a gala week.
