MR. GEORGE C. HAYNIE
A SUCCESSFUL FARMER
Mr. George C. Haynie an Ex
ample for Thousands of
Others to Follow.
Mr. George C. Haynie, of Pente
cost district, Barrow county, one
of those quiet unassuming men
and one of our good citizens has
solved the real problem of farm
ing and independent living.
Having passed 60 years of age,
doing his own work and studying
how to farm so as to make some
money every year and not culti
vate too much land, his results
should be worth something to
those who have pursued a differ
ent policy and be an example for
thousands of others to follow.
Hundreds of farmers are like
many men we know in all the dif
ferent walks of life, they think
they know all about how their
business should be run and refuse
to profit or learn from others who
are succeeding. Their egotism
and stubborness will not allow
them to do otherwise. There is
another class who do not know,
have not learned, but who desire
information and wish to get bet
ter results from their efforts.
To this latter class we are giv
ing the information as to how Mr.
Haynie farms and makes money,
trusting it may be of benefit and
help them to do likewise.
Mr. Haynie does his own work,
is past 60 years of age, plants less
land than most men but manures
it moderately well and works it
rapidly. Last year he had only
4 1-2 acres in cotton which made
him 5 bales of cotton, averaging
454 pounds each. He spent 21 days
preparing the land and working
this 4 1-2 acres until laid by. His
receipts from his five bales of cot
ton and the seed were about S9OO.
This 4 1-2 acres yielded gross per
acre S2OO. In addition to this Mr.
Haynie made more than enough
corn ami other feed stuffs, meat,
vegetables, milk and butter to pay
the living expenses of his farm
and his cotton crop was clear
money or the net profit to him.
There is no man in town w-orking
for the average salary wdio can
do this well.
Mr. Haynie tries to make a good
yield on small acreage of all his
crops and make everything at
home and some to sell. This mode
of farming has proven a success
to those adopting it and all others
ways of farming a failure. Any
man will be profited and better
his financial condition by follow
ing the course of Mr. Haynie. It
is the wise and only successful
way of farming.
DR. HAM AT FIRST BAPTIST.

ces of the First Baptist Church

Broughton at the Atlanta Taber
nacle. Dr. Ham is one of the

power.
OVERCOAT LOST.
I lost a dark gray overcoat last
Friday between J. M. McElhan
non’s farm and Mr. Gene Duna
hoo’s. The finder will be liberally
rewarded by returning it to The
Times office or to my home on
Eoute 5.

WINDER. HARROW COUNTY. U.V., THURSDAY. MARCH 20. 101 *>
BARROW MAKES APPLICA
TION FOR ROAD FUND
Judge Hill has made formal ap
plication for a portion of the fed
eral emergency road fund avail
able before July 1.
The amount he applies for is
SIOO,OOO with which he intends
to build four first class roads, all
of which are very important high
ways in Barrow county.
These roads will be surveyed,
built on a grade and all soiled.
The four roads to be built are
as follows: the one from the Jack
son county line, beginning at
O'Shields’ bridge on the Mulber
ry river and running to Reeves’
bridge on the Appalachee river at
the Walton county line; the Mon
roe road to Hendrix bridge at the
Walton county line; the Thomp
son mill road and the one by Bow
(man’s mill, J. N. Pentecost farm
,and by the old James Thurmond
place to the line.
There will be 41 miles total of
these four roads that penetrate
through the different sections of
the county. Judge Hill has acted
wisely in taking advantage of this
federal fund, and by so doing will
add much to the development of
our section and therefore the pros
perity of our people. No one
thing does so much for a county
as good roads and this move of
Judge Hill means that in a few
years more there will be a net way
of first class roads through every
section of Barrow.
Over 40 counties have taken ad
vantage of this federal fund of
$1,344,000 available before July
1. A second fund of $2,000,000
will be available for use in the
state of Georgia after the first of
July.
Good roads, good schools, good
farms, good and progressive citi
zens make a good and great coun
ty, and it takes all of these things
to bring about this desired result.
A GOOD OLD NEGRO DIES.
Old Unale Hamp Bradley, one
of the ante-bellum negroes who
had lived for years on the farm of
Mr. J. N. Thomas, near Bethle
hem, died last Thursday at the
age of nearly 80 years.
He had lived a life that com
manded the respect of all of his
white neighbors and all of them
were his friends. Such a man be
Jie white or colored, is worth some
thing to his community and is al
ways missed when death takes
him away.
Uncle Hamp was honest, up
right and industrious, acted well
his part as an example for others
of his race, and The Times believes
that his soul is now resting in the
fields of paradise as a reward for
his service.
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
OLLIS HALL.
The little eighteen months’ old
son of Mrs. Joe Dali, of Winder,
departed from earth to heaven on
March 6, 1919. The little fellow’s
life was brief but sweet and God
plucked it from earth to bloom
in heaven.
Weep not dear mother for God
does all things for the best and
some day you will meet your dear
little boy and the two other preci
ous children gone before in a bet
ter land where there will be no
parting. Rest assured his soul is
in heaven.
A Friend.

After pleasant greetings were

Large bawls of yellow bowers

The emblems of St. Patrick’s
day were carried out in minute de
tail. An attractive Irish program

SMITH-MAYNE MFG. CO.
MAKES FINE SHOWING
The first annual stock holders
meeting of the Smith-Mayne Mig.
Company was held at the office of
the Company on last Thursday the
13th.
A good majority of the share
holders were present in person.
The annual report of the secre
tary, Mr. Claud Mayne, reflected
splendid progress for the year.
The financial showing was de
cidedly pleasing to the stock hold
ers, and the prospects of the Com
pany for the ensuing year were
very much better than expected.
Among the items of interest dis
closed by the secretary’s report
was the facts that the Company is
now employing 30 to 40 hands
with a weekly pay roll of aromnl
S6OO, that the weekly production
js now above 60 desks, that the
line is being handled by the big
gest dealers in New Y r ork, New
Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, At
lanta and other large cities in the
country.
Mr. Mayne also reported that the
Company had filled a large con
tract for the war Department at
Washington, some of the desks
probably going to the western
which by the way gives two
of Winder’s manufactured pro
ducts the distinction of going to
help in the war. It will be remem
bered that when our boys reached
the western front, soon after war
was declared, they found Bell
Overalls already there and wait
ing for them.
We are glad to ha'* jn Winder
sueh enterprises a* tlie dmith-
Mayne Manufacturing Company
and sincerely hope this concern
is the forerunner of a number of
other manufactories of the same
kind. The close proximity of our
city to the almost inexhaustable
supply of timber suitable for the
manufacture of furniture of every
kind gives us a decided advantage
over other points.
It means much to our city and
section for all of us to boost the
Smith-Mayne Manufacturing Cos.
The directors elected for the
new year were: W. B. McCants,
R. A. W. Smith, L. M. Mayne,
Claude Mayne, A. Y. Evanson, J.
M. Williams and W. C. Horton.
R. A. W. Smith was elected presi
dent ; L M. Mayne, Vice-president;
Claude Mayne, Secretary and W.
C. Horton, treasurer. Dividend
No. 1 was declared and the stock
holders are all pleased with the
bright future for this wonderful
plant.
C. W. B. M. MEETS AT THE

FINEST COUNTRY SCHOOL
BUILDING IN THE COUNTY
One of tlie finest and most mod
ern buildings of all the country
chools in this county has just been
erected near the home of Mrs.
Lovie Thomas and on the farm
of Mr. E. 11. Odum. There had
been two schools in the same
sehool district, one of these being
New Chapel and the other Corinth
And these two buildings were in
a dilapedated condition and only
one and a quarter miles apart.
Superintendent Holsenbeek and
the County Board of Education
got the people of this district to
unite and agree to consolidate the
two schools. Asa result they lo
cated the school at the above men
tioned place, a central point, and
they have this new and up-to-date
building, a credit to any communi
ty-
The school has already begun
with an enrollment of 85, under
the management of Miss Mamie
jOdum as principal and Miss Vera
Parker as assistant.
The Board of Education named
the school Argonne after the Ar
gonne Forest, where many of our
boys from this county fought in
the great war, and it was to com
memorate their bravery and sacri
fices that this name was selected.
Messrs. R. L. Thomas, J. T. Aus
tin and W. P. Thompson were ap
pointed trustees of the school with
R L. Thomas as chairman and
treasurer. These are all splendid
men and will look closely after
the interest of the school and we
feel sure will have the united co
operation and support of all its
patrons and the district at large.
A CARD OF THANKS.
We take this method of express
ing our gratitude to all who help
ed hs in anyway during the recent
illness of our family and death
of our baby. The aid, both friend
ly and material, that our neigh
bors rendered shows plainly that
the world is still full of good
Samaritans. We thank each and
every one who remembered us in
any way.
We wish especially to mention
the nurses, Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Fos
ter, W'ho worked so faithfully, and
the good women who secured
their services; also Dr. Hodges,
whom we think did as efficient
work as could be done under the
circumstances.
Again we wish to mention the
members of the Second Baptist
church, the other people of Win
der ,and all of those both in Bar
row and Jackson county who help
ed us in anywawy. May God rich
ly bless each one of you is our
prayer.
