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. R. O. ROSS Chr. Barrow Cos. Ex. Com. Aunt Sue Bradley leaves next Mon day for Boston where she goes to join her son. Rev*. Stlyes Bradley, for an extended visit. Dr Bradley has been called to a church in Maine and has accepted the charge. Uncle Grandford Herrin celebrated his 78th birthday Wednesday. Sur rounded by all his children, and grand children he enjoyed a sumptions birth day dinner. 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. PERSONAL NOTES OF MOVING VAN Mrs. G. S.

BAGWELL Clerk of Superior Court 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 Minnie, the little four-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. New berry died Sunday afternoon. Seven months ago Minnie drank some potash accidentally and since that time had been steadily journeying to the grave. The funeral was preached by Rev. Wallace, pastor of the second Baptist church. The interment was in Union cemetery. Mr. Ralph Hharpton, of Florida, is here this week in attendance upon the superior court. Ralph has many friends u Winder who are always glad to see him. PRICE-CUTTING IS THE ORDER OF DAY i _________ Cotton Goods and Automobiles Coming Down in Prices Manufacturers Making Big Cuts. While prices have a long ways to come cuts are being announced by man ufacturers and big mercantile concerns. Ford started the downward move ment in his anuouncemet last week when he ordered a big reduction in the price of all Ford products. 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 standing from under uiitil the market steadies. , PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCITION WILL MEET FRIDAY AFTERNOON The regular meeting of the Parent- Teachers Association will he held at the Presbyterian church Friday 3 p. m. promptly. Mrs. H. A. t’arithers, the newly elected president, will have charge, announcing at this time the committees for the year. Mrs. W. H. Quartermau, who has just returned from a visit abroad, will talk inter estingly of her trip. Special music has been arranged and u large atten dance is expected. 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. , Put up your flags and bunting and lets make this a gala week. NO. 25
