VOL. XVII. GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB Determined Men Would Rid Winder of “Bind Tigers” and Trashy Literature. A Good Government Club for the city of Winder was formed at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon. It has been rumored for some time that whisky was being sold in high places in Winder in open vio lation of law. This rumor reached the ears of Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, who took the matter up at prayer meeting Wednesday a week ago,and it is said some hot discussions were had upon the subject. Rev. Hun nicutt called the meeting for Sun day afternoon and poured hot shot into any church m unbcr who would stand back and say blind tigers could not be closed. In the course of his remarks he made the statement that every member of the church might go home and lock himself in and he cou Id take the men who drink whisky and close every blind tiger in the city. But the church members did not show any inclination to go home. They were there from all denomina tions, and they were there for busi ness. Rev. John Wood was there to add his hearty condemnation of sin, and preached one of the best ser nions along moral lines we ever heard fall from his lips. Cob W. H. Quarterman told a pathetic story of the effects of drink which had recently come under his observation at Jefferson Iconrt, and vsUen he took his seat you could plainly read in the faces of the de termined men present that “blind tig rs must go,” and the man who disregards this warning further is g >ing to have bad luck. When a collection was called for to buy up all the “Broad Brims,” “Jesse James,” and other trashy literature in Winder the required amount was raised almost imme tely. ,4*. H. Toole made a motion that an executive committee composed of three members from each of the churches of Winder be appointed to formulate plans, rules and reg ulations to govern the club. The motion carried and the following -committee was named: Methodist-*“W. H. Toole, \\ . T. '•(binson, A. A. Camp. y&ptist—J. B. Williams, W. L. Bpisingame, A. 1.- Jacobs. Christian—Claud Mayne, E.
