LETTER FROM
MR. W. A. HAYES
)4'r
Deavereaux, Ga.
Winder News.
The boll weevil and the weather got
58 per cent of last years’ cotton crop in
the Fifth. Agricultural district. The
speculators got 60 per cent of the price
of what was left. So you see the far
mers are up against a pretty “buggy”
proposition. The best farmers a reviv
ing more attention to deep plowing, ter
racing, compost fertilizing. To quote
Jack Smith: They see the need of "in
tensifying, diversifying and rotating.”
There are many farmers in this sec
tion using tractors, cultivators, har
rows, and other up to (late machinery
for fhe preparation and cultivation of
their lands.
With the compliments of our County
Farm Demonstrator and the Program
Committee of the county Farm Bureau
association, I am sending herewith a
eopyof their program. We have no mo
nopoly, and are a long way behind per
fection, but we realize that “Small
Oaks from Little Acorns Grow.” We
are planting with hope, cultivating with
faith, and expecting a harvest.

AFTER THE HON.
T. M.’S CUSHION.
Congressman Bell left for Washing
ton Tuesday afternoon after a stay at
home of a couple of weeks. He came
here to try to find out something about
the contest of Dr. Barnwell, who ran
against hinTfor Congress in the Novem
ber election, and lacked 5,002 votes of
being elected.
Mr. Bell failed to find out much.
He couldn’t even find out who Dr. Barn
well’s attorneys are. However, he did
discover what the Doctor's allegations
are—he alleges that in Milton county
Mr. Bell’s name was printed on some of
the Republican tickets, which might
have fooled some voters who hadn't
sense enough to know’ the difference.
He also alleges that there were “irreg
ularities in some of the counties,”
which seems to be very indefinite. The
Doctor doesn't allege that these things
affected the general result at all.
Of course Dr. Barnwell knows that
he will not get Mr. Bell’s seat. He
knows he will not get within a million
niles of it. But he expects to get a
fee for some lawyer friend, it being the
custom of the Government to pay such
in contests for seats. He also calcu
lates to get enough prominence as a
martyr to get some good appointment
under the Republicans.
But we doubt that Dr. Barnwell will
sh his contest. He probably already
sees it developing into a farce.—Gaines

Three games are on the schedule
next week, but none will lie played
hero. Buford will be played Monday,
Winder Wednesday and Foviugton on
Friday. If the boys can win these
games it s a pretty safe bet that they
will continue to romp through the
schedule without a set-back.
Oconee High will he played Satur
day in Athens, according to the present
plans of Manager Jim Garner. This
should be a hard game for L. H. S.,
and if they disappoint us, which we
hope they don’t, we won’t hold anything
against them, be<iiuso tl.fis terrible
weather puts the blink on practice,
and if they are not in form the weath
er will get the blame.
Harold Maddox thinks that you
shouldn't hug anybody except women.
In the Winder game a Winderite grab
bed Hal and hugged him to keep him
from getting at the ball and Hal said,
“Don’t hug me; I ain’t no woman.”
Winder High school has lost two of
their brilliant (performers. Dumont
Harrison, center, and Perry Hill, for
ward, are the two in question. Du
mont had a wonderful record as a
guard last year, and to shoot a goal
while he was guarding you was con
sidered an honor. Hill was everything
his name indicates and a little more.
He was a mountain to the guards who
tried to keep him from shooting. These
two fellows are now pastiming for the
Fifth District A. & M. school at Mon
roe.
The game with Southeastern Chris
tian College was called off, due to the
miserable weather. Thiq game will
probably he played week after next,
L. H. S. boys are going out after re
venge, and we think that they will be
rewarded if they can outpass the boys
from Auburn. —Rich in Lawrenceville

PENSION PAYMENT
GREATLY DELAYED
The following extracts from a letter
to Ordinary C. W. Parker from John
W. Lindsay, Commissioner of Pensions,
will be of interest to all old soldiers
and those drawing pensions from the
state of Georgia.
“The pensioners approved under the
new’ law of 1919, to whom a pension of
8100 for 1920 is due und will be paid,
are becoming anxious as to when the
payment will be made. We had hoped
to pay these amounts by November 1,
but that was before the crisis came in
the reduction of the price of cotton and
other products. This calamity has pro
duced such a slump in every line of
business that everybody has suffered
Few seem to be paying their taxes
promptly, and many will submit to the
expense of execution, levy, interest and
advertisement and defer payment until
March, when they can borrow money
with which to pay their taxes and costs
Under these unusual the
Governor and Treasurer have no as
surance of being able to pay until
March Ist. The checks will be rushed
to the ordinaries just as soon as the
money is received.

Commissioners of Pensions.

THE NEWSPAPERS.
It has been said, and wisely so, that
a town is judged largely by its news
papers that go out from it. We might
say. that the business men of any town
or city are judged by the treatment they
show the newspapers that are the lead
ing factors in bringing the advantages
of said city or town to the attention of
the world about them. If a newspaper
is given a spasmodic support, or the
kind that runs when everything else
goes smooth, the impression obtained
is not so good. If the business men
patronize their newspapers continually
and substantially, the impression is
that (here are good merchants and good
newspapers going hand in hand in the
development and growth of the continu
ity. The business men of Monroe have
had as much to do with making the
newspapers of the city as any other
force, and we say it advisedly, the pa
pers have had more to do with making
Monroe than any other agency.—Wal

WONDERFUL, SAYS
TAR HEEL FARMER.
A. B. Joyner Declares Tanlac Relieved
Him After 15 Years of Suf
fering.
“It’s a faet two bottles of Tanlac
have done me more good than all the
other medicines I have taken in fifteen
years,” said A. B. Joyner, a well
known farmer of Walnut Cave, N. C.,
R. F. D. No. 4.
“Up to the time I ltegan taking Tan
lac I had not been able to eat a square
meal in fifteen years without suffering
afterwards. After eating I would have
an awful stuffed-up, bloated feeling,
and at times my breath seemed to be
almost cut off. Sometimes I had such
severe pains in the pit of my stomach
that I W’ould nearly double up, and I
was so restless 1 could never get a
night’s sound sleep.
“I just tried nearly everything but
kept going from bad to worse until my
farm work got to be an awful drag to
me. I finally got to reading about
Tanlac, and decided to try it.
“What two bottles of this medicine
have done for me is nothing less than
wonderful. My appetite is splendid al
ready and I never feel a touch of indi
gestion. I sleep like a log every night
and am feeling Just fine.”
Tanlac is sold by one good druggist
in every town.
