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.

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. * Dr. C. S Williams has moved his Dental office to 3rd floor Winder Na tional Bank Building. FINE MUSTARD LEAF Mr. J.

Ntr ”1* “F.osf City” Also i r" i v k . .:ig Creek” .WEDNESDAY, Dec. I—Fine1 —Fine Program 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.” HENSON BROS HAVE SOLI) INTEREST IN KLIMAX UO, The interests held in the Klirnax Overall plant, by Henson Brothers & Fullbright have been sold to William H.
