Not in a sin gle instance have we noted any denial that food and. clothing are unnecessarily high and that prim tering is being practiced along many lines. But when one has read the many reasons gi\en. he winds up with the old game we use to play, “Button. Button, Who has The Button?” In this instance, it is a case of Guilty, Guilty. Which One Is It. The packet's say every body is on an extravagant drunk. The wholesalers insist their margin of profit is reasonable and so does the retailer. Then the producer throws it back up the cost of labor. Labor complains about the high cost of living. So, there you wind np where you started. Want to Rent—s-room house with garden. Apply to Carrington Bros. THE BARROW TIMES BEN FOSTER AT MT.

WHITEHEAD OF OCONEE HAS TOUGH LUCK IN WINDER Just before the break of day last Saturday morning. Mr. Kd mon Whitehead, son of Mr. Char die Whitehead, of Oconee County, crept quietly into the city without [the slightest intention of making a stop or disturbing a human being. All at once, without a moments warning, Shei-ic Camp, with Depu ty H. D. Miller, his sons, and a number of the police force here, making up the entire reception Committe, met Mr. Whitehead in tiie street in front of our school building and insisted that lie stop over and make Winder a visit. It was not convenient for Mr. Whitehead to stop this time on ac count of a previous engagement below Winder. The Sheriff and his reception committee, filled with a(i abundance of Winder hospitality, insisted that the said visitor drop by for at least a short stay. The early morning visitor realizing it wasn’t any time to be calling on folks, insisted that lie be excused this tirue. He there upon pulled his Dodge car into a ditch in an effort to show the Sheriff lie would not make on unwilling visit to our hospitable city, the ditch caused the car to decide a telephone pole was a small object when the driver was in a hurry, the clash came and Mr. Whitehead’s companion took [to the tall timbers, while Mr. Whitehead himself decided lie could not decline the Sheriff’s in vitation any further to stop. The reception committee, filled witii a spirit of about as much cur iosity as hospitality, peeped into the car. Lo and behold, there they found some six or seven kegs con taining about sixty five gallons of l“corn, syrup, buckeye and potash liquor.” These ingredients are judged from the odor of the stuff as it went into the city sewer in front of the court house about ten o’clock Saturday morning. Mr. Whitehead took breakfast with Sheriff Camp, but later left the city under bond. This same reception committee visited the home of Mr. Seaborn Cliancey at Whites Mill. Mr. Chaneey had left the house for his corn field where he went for some corn for his table. The committee still full of curiosity, proceeded about two or three hundred yards into the woods from Mr. Chan cev’s house and there they found about one dozen kegs all empty with the exception of one which contained about three gallons it is said, also a jug or twu were there with sufficient contents to make the song, “How Dry I Am,” very inappropriate. ANOTHER WAY TO GET BY. This week a whiskey dealer took his ear, a negro, an old cuf-up still and pair of handcuffs and to the his car with whiskey, tied the old still on the side of bis ear, hand cuffed the negro and drove thru the country and towns in open day to his homo with the whiskey un molested. He was passed up as an officer and received congratu lations on his fine eathch. *1.50 IN ADVANCE THANKS TO SHERIFF CAMP Last week we were informed by an anti-saloon league that if the folks would put up enough money, they would put a government man here to help Sheriff Camp keep a closer tab on booze sellers. We questioned the idea of the neces sity of the move then and feel more justified now than ever that t would be money unwisely ex pended. Sheriff Camp nor any oth- er officer can catch them all, but the man who walks ahead of Camp in looking after Barrow- County’s interest must hustle. The W. C. T. U. and periodical prohibitionist of Winder and Bar row County should thank Mr. jl’amp for the success lie does at tain in the County. , I The new law forces the whole bxGilen almost entirely on the cotJRtV authorities. Thg jIU f most' excluded in way of revenue. In the face of this situation how ever, the Winder police force, headed by Mr. A. Sim Hill, is ever on the alert in the discharge of their duty.
