VOLUME 4, NO. H
A STEAM LAUNDRY FOR
' WINDER
Conditions Demand It and The
■Citizens Should Call a Pub
lic Meeting, Organize and
Build One at Once —What
Do You Think About It ?
If ever a town needed a steam
laundry it is Winder. Condi
tions demand it and the citizens
.should get together, organize
and go to work at once and
build one. It can be done with
out hurting anyone and would
solve the washing problem.
By making it only $5.00 per
share and every family in Win
der taking from one to five
shares this could be easily ac
complished and no one would
feel it. Some of our progres
sive men who are fully able to
do so would take ten or twelve
shares ( others five and the ma
jority from one to four or more.
Don’t start it with the idea of
making money but as a general
necessity for -the relief of our
people and to get service. Don t
start it with the expectation oi
receiving a dividend of ten or
twenty per cent, but purely for
public service and to relieve a
situation that cannot be en
sured.
It is getting almost impossi
ble to secure a washwoman, and
when you do it takes a million
aire to pay for the washing ai
for the drayman to carry them
to and bring them back from
the washer.
As above stated, it can be
built without any one having to
make a sacrifice and if it only
pays expenses and gives you
good service at reasonable
charges you will have been well
paid if you never draw a divi
dend.
Several of the business men
are highly in favor of this en
terprise, and no thinking per
son can oppose it or refuse to
lend a helping hand. Winder
needs it and needs it badly. It
can be done as easily as falling
off a log into the. creek if we
will all unite. It seems to ’
that this is one thing upon
which we can all unite and pn
together for we all feel its ne
cessity.
The Times would be pleased
to have expressions from its
large number of readers all over
the city as to how you feel
about it.

SPECIAL TO FARMERS.
Time Extended for Farmers to
Make Applictions for Gov
ernment Nitrate.
Winder, Ga.,
February 5, 1919.
The government set Janary
25, 1919, as the date that all ap
plications for nitrate of soda to
be filed and in the hands of
some of conty nitrate commit
teemen or county agent.
1 received a message
m-m Mr. Brand, chief of bu
reau of markets, stating that
the time had been extended for
farmers to make applications
for government nitrate of soda
until February 15, 1919. Any
and all farmers wishing to
make applications for nitrate
from government may do so by
seeing me, county agent, or one
of the following members of
county nitrate committeemen
on or before Saturday, Febru
ary 15, 1919:
Mr. W. C. Horton, Winder,
Ga.
Mr. C. W. Parker, Winder,
Ga.
Mr. E. C. C. Boss, Auburn,
Ga.
Mr. J. H. Moore, Bethlehem,
Ga.
Mr. J. B. Thompson, Bethle
hem, Ga.
Mr. C. B. Chambers, Statham,
Ga.
Any farmer expecting to use
any nitrate of soda should he
sure to file his application for
what he wants from the govern
ment. At present time there are
not any brokers or dealers hand
ling or quoting nitrate of soda
because the farmer can buy so
da from government as cheap
as the brokers can buy it. F<
lowing is a paragraph take
form a letter that I received
from a brokerage company that
handles as much fertilizer ma
terials as any other company in
this state:
“We prefer not to quote on
nitrate of soda, as we are not
in position to compote with
government prices to the farm
ers direct.”
I hope the farmers of Barrow
county will apply f<" many
more tons of nitrate of soda on
or before Saturday, February
15, 1919.
Yours for service,
W. Hill Hosch.

NEW STEEL BRIDGE OVER
MULBERRY RIVER
Judge 11. G. Hill, our ordina
ry, and the commissioners of
Jackson, have alredy bought
the steel and received the blue
prints for the pillars for the
erection of anew bridge over
the Mulberry river on the high
way from Winder to Jefferson.
This is known as O’shields
bridge and is a line bridge be
tween the two counties.
It will be one of the best steel
bridges in this section of the
state and Judge Hill and the
Jackson county commissioners
are to lx* thanked by the travel
ing public for this enterprise.
WILL BUILD A ROCK DAM.
Mr. W. I>. Patrick, the big
and successful farmer of Ben
Smith's district, Barrow coun
ty, was iu tlx* city Tuesday and
made The Times office a pleas
ant call. 11 (* informed us lie
would begin in a short while
the erection of a rock dam at
his mill, saying that In* could
do it now’, while times were
prosperous easier than when
things became normal again.
He believes in doing things and
keeping his corn and flour mill
up to the standard.
Mr. Patrick is one of our most
successful farmers and believes
in intensive farming and stick
ing to it. By doing this he has
made money ,added more acres
to his possessions and now has
one of the finest and best im
proved farms in the county. If
every man would adopt bis
plan in tin* south there would
lx* no trouble about reducing
the cotton acreage. This year
In* will plant 25 acres in corn
to every 15 acres planted in cot
ton. If eevry farmer weer to do
this the south would be the
most prosperous country in the
world and cotton would
go under 25 cents per pound.
Mr. Patrick does not wait foi
all the farmers to cut acreage,
but goes ahead and does it be
cuase he knows it is the wise
policy.
AN UNAVOIDABLE CALAM
ITY.
On last Sunday Mr. A. L. Ja
cobs, while driving his car be
tween Auburn and Carl, saw an
old lady in the road and blew
his horn some distance before
reaching her, and also reduced
the speed of his car to about
four miles to the hour.
The old ldy undoubtedly did
not hear the warning given
and just as he went to pass her
on the opposite side of the road
she became excited and jumped
in front of the car and was run
over. It was a Mrs. Wade who
lived in the neighborhood of
Hill’s Shop.
M r. J acobs is a very cautious
driver, and it was simply one
of those unavoidable accidents
that occasionally happens.
Mrs. Wade died in a short
while after the accident.
Air. W. A. Brooks spent
Monday at home. He has
been in Savannah most of
the time for the past month
with the large cotton firm with
which he is connected. He re
ports business fine in that city,
the export trade increasing ev
ery day. He thinks that if the
farmers will reduce acreage this
year and trade conditions con
tinue to improve that cotton
will advance in a short while so
as to enable the farmers to get
a fair price.
Mr. 11. L. Manning, the big
farmer and cotton ginner of
Bethlehem, was in Winder
luonuay transacting uusiness.
