Carter Davis last Sunday night was a great shock to his friends throughout the county. His death came unexpected as liis general health had been good since coming to Winder two years ago. He was reared in this section and lias spent most of his years here. A part of his life was spent in South Georgia where he was a successful farmer. Since coming to Winder, he has invested in a home and farm near f. e and identified himself as one our substancial citizens. He was a quiet, unassuming, gentle character and every body liked him. Winder and Barrow county has lost a good citizen and he will he greatlyl missed. He leaves a wife and six children with whom the Times deeply spmpathizees. His remains were laid to rest at Chapel last Tuesday where a large concourse of friends gathered to pay their last respect to this splendid citizen. Rev. R. E. Moss, pastor of the Christian Church, his pastor, con ducted the funeral. WINDER NATIONAL MAKES IMPROVEMENTS. One of the prettiest banking houses in North Georgia will be at the Winder National, when the i,Verior work has been completed. New fixtures of marble are being installed and makes an un usual attractive banking house. These people are to be commend ed on their improvements. 0 Mrs. W. B. McCants and Mr. John Met'ants attended the grad uating exercises of Miss Nell Mc- Cants at 0. N. & I. C. last week. THE BARROW TIMES CHAIRMAN DeLaPERRIERE HAS DONE HIS DUTY In last week’s issue of the Times, we inquired as to who was responsible for tin cans, piles of back yard rubbish etc. being left on the edge of side walks over Sundays. The inquiry brought forth the answer from Chairman DeLa- Perriere of the sanitary depart ment that he had done all in his power to relieve the streets of these unsightly appearances. That he had advertised in large letters that the trash wagon passed every second Friday and repeatedly ask the people to remember the date and place their trash ready for the wagon accordingly. To this re quest, the people have failed to respond. Some people have gone so far as to charge the wagon with the very grave offense of deliberality driving by their trash and leaving it. Can it be possible that the change is true? Certainly it is pos sible, but we must confess that it doesn’t seem probable. A few cases for this offense would determine in the Mayor’s court just whose fault it is. The agitation of this question may appear insignificant on it’s face, but a pile of trash four feet wide and three feet high in front of an otherwise beautiful front does not look insignificant on Sun day or perhaps for a week or two. EIGHTY GALLONS OF CORN FINDS IT S WAY INTO THE SEWER. Those who suffer from their periodical spasms of the invasion of rum into our city should have rejoiced last Saturday when some eighty gallons of corn liquor was gently poured into a city sewer near the court house. The officers located in oire home about sixty gallons and the other was collected in smaller quanti ties. The liquor business in Barrow county seems to be about as profi table as the oil business is in the west. The profit however seems to be confined to the wholesaler ex clusively. You seldom hear of any great sums of money being made by the jobber. But if reports are true, a few wholesale dealers have ‘made a kill ink’ in the past few years. The retailer sells his half pint and serves his time. The wholesales ‘mops up’ with the and remains a gentleman. There is one consolation how ever. It is a long, long lane that never turns. Some of these times, the man who lias been piling his cash and remains a gentleman, gladly turn it all loose for his liberty. He will wish a thousand times lie had let well enough be sufficient for a few years at least. It is hard to conceive of a man forgetting himself, his family and his God so completely in this en lightened age, as to stake his all for the sake of making money from the sale of the greatest curse the world has ever known. MR. JOBE HILL HAPPENS TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Mr. Jobe Hill, one of our pros perous farmers at Carter Hill happened to a very serious acci dent on last Wednesday morning. He was cutting his wheat when the clutch of the engine struck him on the head and a number of stitches had to be taken and for some time he was in an unconcious condition. The Times sincerely hopes he will soon be alright, he is a strong friend of ours, and is a brother of Judge Hill, and has many friends and relatives here. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY WINDER. BARROW' COUNTY. GA„ THURSDAY. JUNE 12. IHI VOTE FOR BONDS AND UNCLE SAM WILL PAY HALF YOUR EXPENSE Barrow' County, Georgia, Office of the Ordinary. Winder, Ga„ June 11, 1919. To the Voters of Barrow County: It is not my purpose in writing this article to try to dictate to any one about the election on next Saturday called for the purpose of having the people pass upon the question of what they want to do about the issue of bonds for court house and for the public roads of the county but I ani writing it to call the attention of the people to this very important election and to ask that they express at the polls their wishes about these two very important issues and their verdict is necessarily final and binding on all of us. The court-house is a public building required by the law to be had by every county and it is for the people to say under this elec tion call whether they want it built by bonds and to be paid for by the future inhabitants of the county who will he benefitted by it or not. The present incommodi ous building is only a make-shift and has been used as such during the first years of the county’s life while a jail and chaingang outfit and office fixtures, all of which we were compelled to have from the organization of the coun ty, could be obtained by the usual methods of taxations. The county now possesses a fine court house lot, situated in the heart of the City of Winder, and a jail that would be a <..ddit to any county in the State, and other equipment for use of the officers in charge of your business and a complete outfit for the use of the chaingang forces. All of these things have been provided by tax ation and it must he remembered that we started from the stump and have provided these essentials without unduly burdening the people. They asked for and obtain ed anew countv and of course it is necessary to have public building and public conveniences of the character mentioned. As to the road question. The whole nation is aroused over the road improvement agitation and the Congress of the Fuited States by repeated appropriations has given aid to the several states in road building and this aid is to he a permanent feature of the legis lation to he passed by the Con gress. Government roads have been built and are now being built and projected and the road policy of the government is a permanent one for military purposes and for developemnt generally. The gov ernment. which means all of us acting together, through our rep resentatives, has not only estab lished and built government roads but the government is aiding the States in the building of the roads of the States but it is flowing the policy of helping those that help themselves and the aid to be had from the government can be en joyed only by the States and the Counties that are in a position to meet the government require ments; that is, every dollar allow ed to the counties by the govern ment must be matched by a dollar from the county receiving this aid. For instance, if the governments allowance to this county should be fifty thousand dollars then this county must be in a position to place against that money a like amount purely for road purposes and it must be used and spent on roads under the supervision of the engineer in charge and every de tail of the work must be passed by the engineer and that w'ould mean that the roads on which this mon (Continued to last page.)

At Shorter College this year there were only four young ladies who made perfect marks during the year in every study. Among these four one of them we are very proud to learn was one of our own Winder young ladies, Miss Beulah Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Ferguson. We con gratulate her and also her parents. MR. JOHN WILLIAMS AUTO LOCATED. Several weeks ago an auto thief was passing the home of Mr. John Williams, who presides in this city, and seeing his ear standing near the street, he decided that he could make an easy get-a-way with it. Friday of last week Mr. Williams was notified by the Chief of Police of New Orleans, that his car was there. The thief abondon ed the car there, and no clue yet as to the guilty party. Mr. Paul Williams left Tuesday for New Orleans to bring the car hack. The machine was found in good condition with the tires being badly abused. MEN’S CLOTHING STORE CHANGE HANDS Mr. J. B.

WINDER’S MAYOR It is only natural that people posses some kind of feeling to wards those who lead or repre sent them with distinction. Tennessee is today raving over a newly discovered representative in the person of Seargeant Y'ork, who crowned himself with glory in France. Not only are the people of Tennessee paying unusual at tention to the achievements of their hero, but the entire nation lias bubbled over with jjy to know that he is an American. Why should they not rejoice and let Xerg. York know they are proud of him? Why wait until lie is dead, and then say these good things of him? If they are ever to be of benefit to him personally, it is now while lie can live and enjoy them. Bring a good Mayor of a small municipality, we imagine, is about as thankless a job as any man ever held. Yet, the responsi bility placed upon one who really cares, is perhaps more difficult to manage than in larger towns where the Mayor is not held per sonally responsible for every thing that is, or is not done. The question we wish to dis cuss however, is the individuality of our Mayor. If Mayor John H. Maynard is filling the office ac ceptably, why not tell him so and inspire him on to greater things. Asa matter of fact, are the peo ple not actually proud of their Mayor? If so, then tell him occa sionally you are delighted with him as your executive. It won’t hurt you and will do hirn just lots of good. Our judgement leads us to say that Winder could not have select ed a better man to preside over the welfare of our city. John H. Maynard is a man any citizen can take pride in introduc ing his out of town friends to as his Mayor. He is a good business man. He is convervative, yet pro gressive enough to advance the town as rapidly as it’s finances will permit. He enforces the law and demands respect thereof. What more could we ask of a Mayor. Never nag him, but help him with your encouragement as he labors for us. Mrs. Freeman and daughter, Miss Lizzie Howard Freeman, of Crawford, are on a visit to their daughter and sister, Mrs. Johiu Hgrgrove on Candler street.
