'The State Convention of the Wom
an’s Christian Temperance Union open-'
ed Tuesday night at 7 :4f> with an en
thusiastic welcoming service. The Bap
tist church was crowded to the doors.
Mrs. W. C. Horton, the efficient Pres
ident of the Winder Union, made a
most gracious presiding officer, and in
troduced the speakers of the evening.
Rev. John H. Mashburu, pastor of
the Methodist church, conducted the
devotional service. Greetings were
brought from the City of Winder by
Mayor John Maynard. Mr. Maynard
voiced the feeling of the whole com
mun'ity when he said that it was one
of the greatest honors that could come
to our city, tliat she is permitted to
entertain tills great convention.
Rev. W. H. Faust, pastor of the
Baptist church in which the meetings
are being held, expressed the welcome
extended to the convention by the
churches. Prof. J. P. Cash, Superin
tendent of Schools, brought greetings
on behalf of the public schools, saying
that he is deeply in sympathy with
the efforts being made by the W. C.
T. U. for the betterment of the world,
and especially for the betterment of
childhood.
Mrs. A. D. McCurry graciously wel
comed the convention on behalf of the
various woman’s societies and clubs
of Winder. And last, Mrs. John H.
jVood expressed the welcome extended
by the Winder Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union.
After these various addresses, Mrs.
Horton introduced the State President,
Mrs. Leila A. Dillard, who then took
the chair. She replied in her charm
ing way to the welcome that had been
extended to the Convention, and gave
an inspiring message, looking to fu
ture enlargement in the work of the
Union.
Mrs. Dillard introduced Mrs. T. E.
Patterson, former President of the
Georgia W. C. T. U., who had for some
years been obliged to give up the ac
tive work on account of her health.
She was enthusiastically welcomed
back into the work.
One of the most interesting features
of the evening was the introduction of
Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, of Atlanta,
known all over the state for her
copsistant work for years in the in
terest of Woman’s Suffrage. Mrs. Mc-
Lenden, although four score years of
age, is still brimming with “pep" and
keen humor, and she kept her audience
in a gale of delightful laughter during
her brief speech.
One of the most delightful parts of
the evening program was the splendid
anusic. Great credit is due Mrs. T. A.
Maynard for her work in preparing
for this part of the convention. The
orchestra of the Methodist chinch len
dered several selections as the great
audience was gathering. The combined
choirs of the churches sang a beauti
ful anthem. The L. T. L.’s, under the
leadership of Mrs. Paul Roberts, sang
a welcoming chorus. A beautiful trio
was rendered by Mesdames McCurry,
Land and Potts. Then, just before the
close of the service, Mrs. A. B. Cunyus
the State Director of Music, a niece of
Rev. Sam Jones, delighted tine au
dience with two of her wonderful solos.
Hlie was accompanied by the State
Pianist, Mrs. Annie Jones Byron, a
daughter of Rev. Jones. Mrs. Cunyus’s
singing is a feature of all the state con
ventions, and will lie remembered by
all who may be priviledged to hear her.

BEARS AND GLOOMS
NOW IN THE SADDLE
Those who have been beating down
the price of cotton have filled the pa
pers with gloomy prospects. It is
time the other side was presented.
There seems to be a great misun
derstanding as to what loans the Fed
eral Reserve bank will take. We have
been informed by one connected with
this bank that they have never yet re
fused to take a loan secured by a ware
house receipt showing weight, grade
and that the cotton was properly in
sured.
Of course these loans must be sent
to them through the local banks, and
no bank can handle these loans unless
they are members of the federal re
serve system.
We believe the Federal Reserve bank
will furnish ample money to hold cot
ton if the cotton farmers and the local
banks will take advantage of it.
At the annual convention of the Geor
gia Division of the American Cotton
Association held in Atlanta last Mon
day, Hon. T. J. Shackelford, of Clarke,
introduced the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
“RESOLVED, that all farmers or
owners of cotton who make applica
tion to banks for loans on cotton,
pledging the warehouse receipts as
collateral, and who are refused loans
that they report this fact to a chairman
of Bureau of Markets, Atlanta, Gu.
with full information, and the reasons
given by banks where loans are refus
ed, in order that the Bureau of Mar
kets may investigate and advise and
render such aid as may be possible.”
We don’t believe there will be many
complaints turned in to the Bureau of
Markets for the reason that when Fed
eral Reserve Bank conditions are met
tlie money will be forthcoming.
If we had the cotton we would bor
row and hold. Cotton is bound to
climb back up the ladder.
lowing were made President of their
various Districts.

At the noon hour, the ladies of ttic
churches of Winder served a delight
ful lunch in the basement of the church,
and tlie hour was voted one of the best
vet. The social opportunity offered
was enjoyed to tlie full by delegates
and friends. Among those present at
tlie convention, none are having a bet
ter time, or are being more thoroughly
enjoyed by tlie rest than the girls
from the several colleges. Large dele
gations are here from, G. X. & I. C.
and tlie State Normal, and these help
ed to make the dinner hour interesting.
Their songs, some of them were pre
pared especially for tlie convention,
were received with delight. The girls
from Athens sang a greeting song, the
burden of which was “How do you do,
Winder? How do you do, how do you
do? Glad to ite here Winder, Winder.
How do you do, How do you do?
Another of their songs was in honor
of the State President, Mrs. Dillard,
Hud ran as follows:
“Oh, they say tliat Mrs. Dllurd,
She ain't got no style,
Got style all the while, style ail the
while.
They say that Mrs. Dillard,
She ain’t got no style,
Got style nil the while, got style all
tlie while.
Oh. they say that Mrs. Dillard,
She ain’t got no pep,
Got pep every step, pep every step,
etc.
One of the features of the afternoon
was a conference conducted by Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Perkins, of Ann Arlior,
Mich., Superintendent of the Child
Welfare Department of the W. C. T.
U.
Later in the afternoon, the beautiful
service of presenting the children was
observed.

that will surpass any like corporation
in any town between Atlanta and the
South Carolina line.
Therefore to make room for tlie car
penters and brick masons tills firm

dollar stock of merchandise on the
bargain counters at a tremendous loss
to the firm.

G. N. Bagwell Put Out for Mayor While
J. T. Strange, A. 8. Morgan and
W. E. Autry Have Agreed to
the Use of Their Names as
Couneilmen.
For several days there lias been more
or less discussion of civic affairs and
the duty of all good citizens to make
public sacrifice in the interest of the
public weal.
These are strenuous times, unsettled
and shaky. We need to restore con
fidence and get back to safe and
sane business methods.
Without thought of criticism of any
one, many of Winder’s best thinkers
settheir heads together to persuade
some of our experienced business men
to allow the use of their names in
tills connection, and tlie movers in
this direction have handed tlie follow
ing ticket to tlie press for publication,
and ask for gentlemen tlie con
sideration of the voters of Winder:

Strange.

If. G. HESTER DECLARES
SOUTH CAN HANDLE
OWN COTTON CROP
New Orleans, October 20—In a
statement prepared at the instance of
the Cotton exchange directors and made
public tonight, Henry G. Hester, secre
tary of tlie exchange and for fifty
years regarded as an international
authority on matters pertaining to cot
ton marketing, declared there is no
reason for rushing for federal aid, and
asserted there was “nothing the matter
with the south beyond an unreasoning
scare in cotton.”
The statement, prepared “for tlie
benefit and encouragement of those who
are not fully informed” follows:
“The drastic decline tliat lias occur
ed in cotton since the lirst of August,
amounting to nearly S9O a bale, or
about 48 per cent, has been mainly
due to the pressure to sell on a shrink
ing market, undermining confidence of
both sellers and consumers, accentuat
ing the fears of the farmer and in
creasing the reluctance of the latter
until they practically abandoned tlie
market except at constant eonsessions,
which in tlie aggregate probably con
stitute the greatest drop that has ever
taken place in staple in any like period.
In tlie past ten weeks more than a
million bales of spot cotton have liter
ally been ‘thrown overboard’ without
rhyme or reason. Nearly three-fourths
of the Texas ginnings to September
25 have been rushed to market and
while other sections have sold more
sparingly, the reported sales at three
leading Texas centers having amounted
to more that s< >O,OOO bales. Futures
have perforced followed spots, the pres
sure Having been accentuated by sales
to hedge spots.”
DEATH OF LITTLE BABE
The little eight-months-old babe of
Mr. W. E. Roberts died at the home of

few days ago Mr. Roberts lost his wife,

eternal realm.
Tlie funeral and interment will occur

Mr. Roberts and his family have the
deep sympathy of Winder people in
their sorrow.
