FINANCIAL RUT
WRECKS THE BELL
Despite the efforts of local creditors"
aiul stockholder's to slave off disaster
by pulling toe Kell Manufacturing
Coiuinkiy safety out of linaneial ruls,
upptftmion in bankruptcy lias bin n
filed a temporary receiver named
to take charge of the assets.
Many versions of the condition of the.
Bell can be heard, but the true condi
tion will not be known until the audi
tor files his report in court.
Soyre contend that all creditors will
be paid and that the stockholders will
not lose all while others say that the
institution as organized is a dead fi
nancial duck.
It is not altogether certain that bank
ruptcy will be allowed to proceed with
out contest. Interested parties have
now the question of contesting the pro
ceedings under consideration.
Another question that is engaging
the attention of creditors and the re
ceiver jg that of starting the plant in
motion, and permission of the court
may be asktsj to start the wheels
to turning.
For many years the Bell Overall
Company was the pride of Winder.
Handsome dividends were paid and our
people believe that the concern was
a financial bauauza. Good times were
with us, and the Bell rode the wave.
It established branches in Atlanta,
Gainesville and Charleston. At that
time many sound business men thought
the Bell was covering too much terri
tory, and a few of the former backers
got from under.
The depression caused locally by this
failure is felt by the whole community,
buk there is no reason to be alarmed.
We must get back to earth and do busi
ness on sound, safe and sane principles.
Kiting and high finance is all right
when the tide is coming in, but when
it starts Out, pay day arrives and there
is generally bewailing and knasliing
of teeth.
Bjit take heart. There can be noth
ing materially the matter with a coun
try, saye the Gainesville Herald, which
is producing one-fourth of the whole
world’s aggricultural supplies, nearly
one-half of its mineral output, and one
third of its manufactured goods; a
country whoso bank deposits exceed
by many million those of all the rest
of civilization, and whose war debt,
for all its hughness, amounts to but
four and eight-tenths per cent of the
estimattid national wealth; a country
which In the last few years has become,
instead of the world’s debtor to the
amount of five billion dollars, the
world's creditor for ten billion.
Nor can there be reasonable com
plaint of the resources of a land which,
though its population is only one-sixth
of the globe’s, yet produces: “Of all
wheat, twenty-four per cent; of all the
corn, sixty per cent; of all the cotton,
sixty per cent; of cattle, twenty-seven
p<-r cent; of hogs, forty per cent; of
dairy products, twenty five per cent;
of .jron and steel, forty per cent; gold,
twenty per cent; silver, forty per cent,
coal, fifty-two per cent; and of oil, sizty
gix per cent.” *
If we cannot succeed with these royal
resources, udder to freedom and to
haven's /nanifold blessings, then we
do not deserve success. If we cannot
go cheerfully and hopefully through a
period of transition which troublous as
it be, leaves these great fundamentals
of unimpaired, then we do
not deserve to prosper.
‘“CARRINGTON CAFE
The Carrington boys have opened a
cafe at the Bennett old stand. New
and up to date fixtures have been in
stalled, the walls and pannels decorated
nnd the floors finished in neat and tasty
manner.
A first-class chief from the city has
bemi brought to the kitchen and it is
the intention of these hustling young
brothers to cater to the best in the way
patrons, and at all times they will
serve the best from a juicy turkey to
a mainaise tomato sandwich.
They handle western meats as well
as home-raised backbones and sausage.
If you get caught in Winder and want
to st ;y your hunger, go to Carrington's
save satisfied.

AMERICANISM IS
BEST FOR WORLD
The English lilngaaec lets man
words that lire being tili riu over;-
worked these da\. "kill <*ne>,'’
Survey.” “< ainouH:>;;'.'' “hyjuu uaied
and the like.
Americanism comes in this class. Wi
sometimes use'ft word uni il it i>n:. -
tike ‘‘Bolshevist ' and covers ui time'
via lory. True Americanism i { ,
k*si there is in ihe World for an tie
wond.
Boldly standing oat in front of others
is iove of liberty, and as a natural oor
allary a love for law, liberty must be
closely guarded or else it can possibly
turn to license, and corruption in cor
porations, combinations or in capital is
not to be permitted for a moment.
When law is violated by the weak
and ignorant, or the wise and powerful
the masses must suffer. Labor has no
more rights than capital and vice versa,
and each ought and must obey the
laws of the land implicitly.
Prohibition laws are just as well
worthwhile obeying and keeping as are
laws against murder and theft.
Again, Americanism has and does
stand for self-reliance. The real
American doesn’t have to be dressed,
nursed or coddled by any one in the
world. He is able to look any one in the
best interests and is glad to have the
opportunity to fight his own battles
and win his own victories, and though
adversity throws him down, he cheer
fully gets up, brushes off the dust and
piods successfully onward.
Too, Americanism includes righteous
ness. Our ancestors fell upon their
knees and took possession of this
country in the name of God, putting
deity before the king. Therefore, it
behooves us all to realize the worth of
right living for government will be good
or had according to the condition of its
people
The Ten Commandments had a large
part in early American history, and
Christ’s Golden Rule and llis other
teachings have left their impress for
good upon us. Schools and churches
are great nation builders, and too much
cannot be said of their worth in g
republic. An uneducated citizenry is a
drag upon any nation
Loyalty to God and ones neighbors
and a desire to help the needy every
where in every way is on of the basal
fundamentals of Americanism.
Sherman has • well said: “In the
veins of all rite races that make up the
manhood of America, there flows no
drop of blood which has not been pu
rified and made strong by rebellion
against wrong. Whether Teuton, Colt
or Saxon, Frank or Scot), in ail ages
and in all lands, on the plains and
mountains of Europe, at Ruunymede
and Bos worths Field, from Blackwater
to Bannockburn, from LeYington to
Yorktown, these have wrung from the
hands of overbearing powers, civil and
religious liberty and the crowns of
honors. Sad will be the day when tiie
American people forget their traditions
and their history, and no longer re
member that the country they love, the
institutions they cherish and the free
dom they hope to preserve, were horn
from the throes of armed resistance
to tyranny, and nursed in the urtns of
fearless men.”
~So a courageous desire to do the
right and defend the weak and helpless,
guaranteeing to all equal rights to life,
liberty aifl the pursuit of happiness
always have and evermore will be the
mountains peaks of true Americanism.

PASTOR TO ATTEND
BAPTIST CONCLAVE
Uev. W. 11. Faust, the pastor of the
First Baptist church, is planning to at
tend the Georgia Baptist convention
which convenes at Atlanta with the
Tabernacle Baptist church Dec. 7-1).
In 1013 the Bautist church became
pustorless. in December the present
pastor was called and came to the
work. The average pastorate covered
two dears, but the present occupant
has slicks:bility and the people of the
city,-ns well as his own members, have
rallied to him with hearty and sympa
pathetic co-operution, which lias made
the First church here one of the
strongst and most progressive in the
state; 308 new members have been re
ceived in the seven years, the pastor’s
salary lias been doubled and the contri
butions for missions increased from
SBO4 per year to around $0,000.00 per
year.
No pastor in the state travels more
miles and makes more visits and
holds more meetings and takes a mftre
active part in all Civic nnd denomina
tional life.
The present year this double-bar
relled preacher has served in connection
with his full time work here, the
churches of Statham in Barrow coun
ty, Ocoonee in Jackson county, Batha
buru and Bogart in Oconee county,
preaching to (hose loyal churches on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons,
Over 144 new members have been
added to the' rolls (his year, and be
sides the pastor has held a number of
evangelistic meetings in other churches
with wonderful success ,
In the war drives there was no more
active and loyal supporter of the gov
ernment than this Baptist preacher,
and Dr. John D. Mell, president of the
Georgia Baptist Convention, said of his.
work in the great 73 million campaign:
“I have heard practically dll of the
speakers in this campaign, and know
no one who makes a stronger and more
worthwhile and inspiring speech than
the Winder pastor.”
No pastor has a choicer and better
selected library and is more familiar
with its contents than he and yet vo
one delights more in visiting and ming
ling with the masses in their homes and
on the streets and farms.
Active in fraternal organizations, he
Is deeply concerned for the best inter
ests of all the orders from the Farmers
Union, of which lie lias been state vice
president, to the Shrine, of which he Is
a loyal and enthusiastic member.
This year he is a three-year member
of the execut t e committee of the Geor
gia Baptist Convention and lias been
selected to present as chairman the re
port to the state convention on the
highly important subject of State mis
sions.
And last hut by no means least, he is
one preacher who is an expert para
graphed contributing a column of
scintilating Snap Shots to a number of
our rural weeklies tiiat are widely read
and much quoted.
Winder in all its history has not had
a more loyal citizen, and a greater
booster, and we are glad to have him
to help by pen and tongue those of us
who are “Buildng a City Here.”
