Fine Musical Programs '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.

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.

Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right 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. 1. Mrs. Nettie Ziegler White, Svlva u ia. 2.

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.

Saul are offering to the public some attractive prices in merchandise of all kinds. The J. T. Strange Company will at the beginning of tlie new year make great improvements in their big de pai, iicut store. The business lias gr ,wn t.> such au extent that they must iiu. c more floor space and they are going to enlarge. We were told by the head of the firm that when the plans are carried out the J. T. Strange Company will have a department store 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 has thrown its one hundred thousand dollar stock of merchandise on the bargain counters at a tremendous loss to the firm. J. w.

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: CITIZENS’ TICKET For Mayor—G. N. Bagwell. For Councilman at Large —A. S. Morgan. For Councilman Second Ward — J. T. Strange. For Councilman Fourth Ward — W. E. Autry. 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 bis father Wednesday night. Only a few days ago Mr. Roberts lost his wife, and now the spirit of bis youngest child goes to join its mother in tlie eternal realm.
