UNION OF THOUGHT AND ACTION NECESSARY.
Andre Tardieu. high commissioner for Franco-American war mai
lers. recently delivered a speech in Paris, the sentiment of which
would he a great blessing if adopted by our congress and senate, by
all patriots and by every American.
This is w hat lie said :
“We achieved our victory by the constant effort of the whole na
tion reaching for an object, and we shall earn our peace by the same
effort. The invasion of our territory brought about the unity of all
without discussion, and the unanimous feeling of the nation is nec
essary to win peace
A peaceful solution of the stupedious problems confronting our
country cannot be brought about by dissensions and by the politician
.Inciting ihe people to oppose the government.
HAS SEEN ITS BEST DAYS.
When a business man or firm reaches the conclusion, that it has all
the business it needs and that their is no necessity for much adver
tising, that particular man or firm has seen its best days and its busi
ness will begin to grow less and less every year. Any business worth
while has to increase its advertising instead of cutting it off or it will
become a back member, an unknown quantity. You have got to keep
lie fore the public, and the only way you can do this is by advertising.
If you fail to do this the public soon forgets you and your business
is gone.
The most successful men in all lines of business recognize the value
and importance of advertising and are iiber. I sers <>i I linteis Ink.

The majority of Americans are giving little thought to economy at
the present time, but are spending money as fast as they get it. I liev
do not seem to realize that things will change and that these prosper
ous times cannot last always.
It is funny that so many of us are not thank ul lor living in the
present era of good times, but are kicking and gTOwling all the time.
Every man can get employment who wi- ies to work and get from the
to six times as much for his labor. Everything produced is bringing
good prices and still we are kicking worse trail we did years ago
when there was no employment for lain and ic farmer could get
nothing for what he mad*
The opportunities for making a living never greater than now
to llie man ready and willing to work, and there is less ground for
kicking and complainin'g than ever In-n ei? *■' Gtorv <>t tl'.e world.
If every day were Sunday ar.d the tan e - . pp'.ied ee of cost with all
the good thing's to eat. some men would kick and whine because Presi
dent Wilson did not add another day .. and t: *a Sundays to the
year.

STAND BY THE AMERICAN COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Every man in the South should stand hy the American Cotton As
sociation and lend this movement his support and influence
It is one of the greatest moves ever inaugurated for the benefit of
cotton growers, and if its plans can be successfully carried out it
means emancipation for the cotton planter, because he will always re
ceive a price for his staple that will give him a legitimate profii over
the cost of production.
This organization is the outgrowth of a series of meetings and con
ferences on the part of prominent fanners and business men of the
South and is proceeding along right lines
All classes should he vitally interested in the success of this move,
incut as the prosperity of the South depends on a fair profit and rea
sonable price for our cotton.
All of our interests are centered in the prosperity of the cotton
producer, and to that end we should lend our aid hy contributing to
the American Cotton Association, enabling it to accomplish the desir
ed results.
Every banker, every business man and every farmer -sould become
n member of the Association.
The times are so prosperous that even unbrella menders travel in
motor ears.

The high cost of li\ing could be partially remedied if people would

A leading Georgia politician said recently he had not studied the
League of Nations and knew nothing about it. but that he was against
it. Still such men as he work on the ignorance and prejudices of men
and try to be leaders, and the mystery is that sueh men can always
have a following.

spent it all on wine and women. There are plenty of women on whom
one could easily spend that amount, but the old topers would like to
know where wine can be so readily found in a prinibition country.
The prudent man and the man of good judgement will take advan
tage of this prosperous period and lay up something tor a rainy day.
These days will surely come and it is well to be prepared to meet them.
In a few months the candidates will be shaking hands with the
dear people. The woods will be full of them another year.
The schools and colleges this fall are all crowded and many of
them are forced to refuse more student'- for the lack ot room. Ids
surely indicates a prosperous era. because it costs more to send a i>ov

The short production this year justifies big 1 cotton, nit you cannot
expect this if you sell fast as you pic!; it.
The short cotton crop and the rapidliy win w hich rL < pening
will give every farmer an opportunity to sow wheat and oats. This
opportunity should not be neglected as the b I weevil may strike our
section next year. The wise man will prepare lor this evil and make
more food stuffs and less cotton. „ . .4.
THE BARROW TIMES. WINDER. GEORGIA
THE MAMMOTH POWDER
MILL OF NASHVILLE,
TENN.
Perhaps the largest powder mill
in the world was constructed sev
eral miles out of Nashville, Term.,
during the recent world war. It
arose almost like a human mira
cle. One day broad acres of land
in the large beautiful bend of the
Cumberland Rivre, called Mod
ley's Bend: yes. hundreds of acres
of quiet woodland, tuneful with
the songs of birds. The next day a
purchaser arrives upon the scene.
Soon, trees are felled; construc
tion forces arrive; hills are level
ed; hollows tilled and almost in a
twinkling, hundreds of workmen,
with as many teams and scrapes,
have cleaned the woods and pre
pared the way for a city ten or
twelve times larger than Winder.
Like magic the city springs up
and forty thousand people begin
work in the various branches and
departments of the huge powder
plant. It dazzles the imagination
to think of it. In a moment a fine
suspension bridge is stretched
across the river, and at the same
time a railroad track is construct
ed from Nashville to the powder
mill city, some seventeen miles
distant. Hundreds of ladies and
young men from Nashville, and
tons of material for the mill and
tons of powder from the plant,
pass to and fro over the well
built railroad. Millions of money
flowed into the coffers and pock
ets of Nashville and high prices
soared higher and higher, until
the cables on the dollars seemed
to wing their flight to the heights
of the eagles of the mountains and
mingle with them.
It was a great aehievment of
American constructive genius and
skill. But it is only a colossal
shell now. The houses are empty
and the gigantic smokestacks are
smokeless. The great mills are as
silent as the woodland of two
years ago and the magic city of
electric lights is dark and quiet.
Its life, its activity ceased as soon
a-> it began. The world war was
over. Hindenburg and Ludendorf
and their crazy Kaiser had heard
of the Mammoth powder mill of
the Southland and knew that,
with such vigorous activities there
and elsewhere, backing our sol
dier boys at home camps and over
seas, no victory could possibly
come to the German arms. The
story of the giant Hermitage pow
der mill of Nashville is one of the
dazzling spectasular dramas of
that* phase of America’s part in
the \vorld war.
But it is an ocular lesson and
constant reminder of the neces
sary fightful waste of labor, mus
cle. money and skill caused by
war.
