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. MRS. E. W. SPARKS GOES TO THE BEYOND.

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.

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.
