WINDER WEEKLY NEWS Published Every Thursday Evening Robkrt O. R<hs, Editor. G. D. Ross, Associate. Holered at the Postoffice at Winder, Ga. as second class mail matter. SUHSCRI I’TION RATES One Year, - sl.gg Six Months, - Three Months, - - -•> Thursday, June 11, 1908. Forget it and join the boosters. *‘Every rose has its thorns, hut aren’t the roses sweet? A steam shovel showed up at Winder Friday. Told you so. Now to business. Mow it ajl happened doesn’t cut any squares. The big drone makes more noise than any liee in the hive, but the little worker is more apt to git busy when mashed. Stung! Faint heart never won an office. \Y iiiderites should feel encouraged by the success of her citizens who have entered the political arena. Now comes the news that the Southern railway will resume its work of double tracking its main line from Washington to Atlanta, and that the number of employes in the Atlanta shops will Ik* in creased. Well, sir! The Atlanta Journal says Editor Phini/y doesn't leave anything to the imagination when he starts out to light the railroads. No, but he allowed his own imagnation to run riot when his paper of Thurs day, The Augusta Herald, an nounced Hoke's nomination by 10,000 majority. Mr. Brown, it is said, has stated that his famous letter to (Jovernov Smith will never he opened unless the legislature so requests. Little Joe says the letter would make amusing reading at this time. Yes, the phraseology of a dignified resig nation written by Mr. Brown would create quite a smile. H. C. Fisher, division manager j of the Virginin-t'ovolina, Chemical Company, says: “Our plants at Koine, Newuau, Social Circle and Valdosta will he started at once. During the summer months they will employ about, forty to fifty men each." That's Bringing prosperity mighty close to home. Th< Georgia Car Company, pros perous manufacturing enterprise of Atlanta, engaged in the building of freight and passenger ears and the overhauling of locomotives, re opened Monday morning, after a Afolie down of a hunt three months. About one hundred men have been put hack to work, bounds nice. (leorge G. Kohinson, of Winder, the successful candidate for ordi nary of (iwinr.ett county, s s the talk of a contest did not cause him the slightest uneasiness. *1 was in Lawrenceville at the time,' says Mr. Kohinson, “and when the thought occurred to me that J was the only aspirant for the office who had announced in the Winder Weekly News and you Bays had made a cross mark in my left shoulder with that hoo-dooed rab bit’s foot, 1 knew that 1 was the winner.” WHAT IF MEANS. t * The election of Hon. .Jos. M. Brown to thcygoveruorship on June Ith, was one of the grandest victories for the people in the history of this great state. The revulsion of sentiment in so short a time indicates that the peo ple have tired of the unsettled con ditions, and have entered their pro test against the tear-down policy of radicalism. It means the restoration of con fidence, and that invested capital, whether from within or without the state, will have equal protection be fore the law. It means that thou sands of idle laborers will find prof itable employment, and it means that Georgia will again take her place in the front rank of those states which adhere to policies .that arc sound, sane and conservative. ROBINSON WINS IN (.WINNER When George G. Robinson, of this city, announced for ordinary of Gwinnett, few of his stanchest friends believed he could win. But, undaunted, George pushed on, speaking pleasantly of his oppo nents and asking the suffrage of the voters, and last Thursday, bv a ma jority of 17, he won out over two formidable contestants. Mr. Robinson is being cangratu lated on all sides upon his victory. 11 is opponents wen both good men. Judge John I’. Webb, the ineum- Ix-nt lias held the oflico for nearly twelve years, and is considered by many the best ordinary Gwinnett county ever had. Mr. Robinson is related to all the Robinsons of Gwinnett county, being the son of well-known-*'Bap tist Bill" Robinson. <hi his moth er's side, he is kin to John W. Farr and Rev. G. L. Bagwell, of Rocky Creek; Henry I). Miller, of Ben Smiths; Rev. Hiram N. Rainey, of Mulberry, and many others, all of whom rendered him hearty sup port- CLIFFORD WAIMER WINS. The nomination of Clift' Walker, of the county of Walton, as solicitor general of the Western circuit, was a surprist to many in the circuit, hut not to those who had closely watched the campaign. Asa campaigner, Cliff was ag gressive and convincing, and he has won a hard-fought battle. He is a lawyer and a gentleman, and with him at the helm the courts of justice in flic Western circuit will grind steadily on. We doff our hat to the new solicitor with the full confi dence that the state's business in this circuit lias fallen in good hands. May your administration he success ful and pleasant, Cliff. Solicitor General Tribble, who goes down in defeat fought a good light, though he lost. Sam has held the office for four years and lias made a good solicitor. Faith ful to his duty, he has prosecuted all eases before him in a fearless and able manner, and has boon a terror to evil doers. He has made a good record, and his friends are proud of bis achievements. Col. M. D. Irwin, who also ran in this race, received quite a num ber of votes in the circuit, especial ly in Cwinnett, his home county. He is also, a good lawyer and a most estimable gentlemen. Editor Mercer, of The Fitzgerald Enterprise-, defeated candidate for prison commissioner and an ar dent supporter iff Governor Smith, says he has eaten no unwholesome diet, but “felt a little puny” Fri day. Mercer can be relied upon to speak his convictions in tdit* fu ture as he has done in the past. It is no guess work to tell where he stands on public questions. In vic tory or defeat “lie’s u man for ae that.” RUSSELL FOR COMMITTED. The friends of Mr. L.C.Russell are suggesting his name as one of the state executive confmittemen from the Ninth congressional district. Mr. Russell was an enthusiastic supporter of Hon. Jos. M. Brown, and has always taken an active interest in polities. When seen in regard to the mat ter Mr. Russell said: “ Yes, many of my friends have spoken to me concerning the place. It is an honor to he coveted. Jack son county has held a place on the committee for only two years, and if a change is contemplated I would certainly deem it an honor to serve the party in this district."
