Atlanta is the mecca for the Southern Baptist this week. 0 The war lias learned us much and has enabled us to realize that the world after all is not as big as we used to think it was. Front present indications it looks as ii lion. < iiil Walker, of Mon roe, will have little opposition for governor in next year’s primary. 0 Director General J lines admits a government deficit in operating the railroads for tin* first three months this year of $192,000,000. 0 The inconspicions person, and most ot ns can he placed in that class, ought to feel thankful for you are free from infernal machines and can open a package without fear of being blown up. 0 ; Fifteen million Americans bought \ ietory Liberty Bonds in the campaign .just closed.

The election is to come off on 11th day of June. 0- Baldwin county Gomniisioners of Roads and Revenues decided last week to call a bond election of SIOO,OOO for the purpose of build ing better roads. It is getting time for Harrow county to take some action on this important matter. 0 The peace treaty provides for the trial of Ihe former German em peror for “a supreme offense against international morality and the sanetily of treaties” by a tribunal composed of representatives of the United Sti ifs, Great Britain, France.

The crow has always had an unsavory reputation, hut if he is going to he a help to the farmer he deserves better things than he has usually received. 0 We w ish there were more cows in Georgia equal to Elberta Prim rose, of the Puritan Dairy Farm, near Savannah. She is the highest priced and the record butter-test cow of the south and an offer of $40,000 for her lias been refused. A few days ago one thousand dol lars was refused for one of her young calves. 0 WINDER S POSSIBILITIES. 0 The possibilities of Winder are great if our people x\ i ll but real ize them and put forth some effort to grasp them while the opportun ity is offered. None of the possibilities, however, can become real if those who are able and qualified to inaugurate and bring them to a successful ter ruination pull hack, depend on others or fail to co-operate and work for the common good. • Some men will put forth no effort and give no encouragement to enterprises for the growth of a town unless they are placed at the head of these enterprises. Some men will oppose every move to de velope their tow n unless they can view it from selfish motives and be come convinced it will he big money in their own pockets. Some men have no public spirit, no vision, and care little for the best interest of their town. Some men study and plan only to make money for them selves and would not move out of their shadows to help build their town and see others prosper. Some men let little petty prejudices, narrow hatreds, envy and jealousy control them and thereby destroy their usefulness and impede the growth and progress of their town and section. We trust there are no characters of this kind in Winder for such men are a curse to any town and do monstrous little for a community and for the betterment of humanity, morally, mentally, financially or any other way. Winder has dime much during the past twenty years to make us all feel proud,hut anew era confronts us now, and if we fail to catch the spirit of progress and take advantage of the prosperous times be fore us, we will have failed in our duty and obligations to Winder and Harrow county. There is yet much to he done and can he done that will largely increase our population if we will become enthused and work togeth er in harmony. This is a duty every man ow es to himself, to his fam ily and to Winder. If you have the capital, if you wish bigger things for Winder show your faith by your works and do something to make it bigger. The time lias come for united action along this line and let our people get together and do things. The Times is writing tliis with the sole purpose in mind of help ing all of us to eat eh the spirit of the new period of the world’s histo ry now ushering in, that we may sei/.e the opportunities and not fol low the procession but lead it. Plan big things and then make them come true. .. 0 JUDGE H. G. HILL CALLS AN ELECTION ON BOND ISSUES. .Judge Hill has called an election for June 14. for a bond issue of $175,000, one hundred thousand for roads and seventy-five thousand for building a court house. As the custodian of the county he show's by his action that he wishes to set Marrow in line with the other wide awake common wealths of the sate, with as good roads as any other and a court house to measure up to the demands of our people. From talking with the farmers and business men from the differ ent sections of Marrow county. The Times feels that the sentiment is practically unanimous among our progressive and enterprising citi zens for this bond issue and that the action of Judge Mill w ill be over whelmingly endorsed at the pols. Up to date every county calling an election for bonds has carried with scarcely any opposition, and Marrow will not he found lacking in this important matter. We all realize the necesity of this bond issue and what it in eons for the future progress and welfare of all our people, are ready to bear the little burden imposed and also allow those who come after us bear a portion of it. knowing they will reap as much or more from this forward movement. It is the only way by which we can get good roads and the only way by which we can get the benefit of the national aid to supplement the amount we expend for permanent highways. If Marrow county fails to appropriate for her roads the national aid offered her. it will go to other counties; we will lose it and he helping to build better roads for other counties. We cannot get this aid unless we issue bonds and this tact is so plain that no man who has the interest of his county at heart will oppose the bond issue w hen he votes at the coming election. Every man should go to work and feel that duty demands him to do all in his power to make the result one which will cause us all to feel proud of Barrow county.

Why is it that some men had rather read the Sunday paper than go to chureh and worship < i()(l ? If the U. S. government were to charge for mailing out al the milk and bull that is scattered iroadcast over the country, the revenue of the nation would be infinitely larger. Labor and capital keep up their figlit, going, and tbe unfor tunate thing is that tbe average citizen lias to be trampled on dur ing tbe fight by both parties. If some men were to take their garden seed to their neighbors in the package, it would save some neighbors hens from having to scratch them up after planted. It would be superlatively glori ous if the abundant supply of food for reflection would cause the ligli cost of living to come down to the absolutely normal again. If Bolshevism could get in tlie ascendency in America tbe cry of up with sinners and down with saints would prevail everywhere. About the only people nowa days who can buy Victory Bonds are the millionairs, day laborers and cooks, a few washerwomen also. The mother who spends most of her time at the card parties and social functions may get her name in the paper, but she will lave a job to get it in tbe Lamb’s Book of Life. The big rich fellows have a hard job these days. They pay doctors to keep them out of bed, and law yers to keep them out of jail. The sensible man who goes to Ireland and is unable to kiss the blarney stone, aways does the next best thing and kisses one who did. These days when schools and colleges have fairly tinged the air with wisdom, every woman either thinks she is pretty or knows she is. A girl can go through college in four years and spend S2OOO and marry a worthless husband, again she can spend three months at a business college and get $125 per month for doing six hours work per day. This accounts for the small number of women in col lege. A man can spend six years and $2400 getting an education to get a place as teacher for SIOO per month. 10 can put on a pair of overalls and go into a garage and get a salary of $1.25 per hour. Some folks can’t walk straight morally because their hearts are as crooked as a mountain road. The preacher who follows the crowds will never have the crowds follow him. Truth upheld is tri umphant, but error bolstered con tinues to totter and fall. BETHLEHEM LOCALS.
