* i
Emory University, Ga.
Oct. 13, 1919.
Dear Mr. Lamar:
Just as 1 promised you and as T
have missed your paper, will
write you a few words. Must say,
that so far, all goes well at
Emory and the boys are well sat
isfied.
The Opening Exercises were
held in the General Chapel on the
Campus on October Ist. bishop
Chandler, Mayor Key of Atlanta,
and seevral other noted men made
splendid speeches.
On Friday, October 3rd, classes
began. We met our respective
classes and began regular work.
Would say just here that the to
tal registration in all departments
has reached seven hundred. The
freshmen medical class numbered
fifty-three and the sophomore,
junior and senior medical classes
about fifty. Freshmen class in Lib
eral Arts numbers about two hun
dred. The other classes numbers
in proportion.
Our class rooms and Labratories
although not completed, are ex
cellent and well arranged. .
I must say that Emory gives her
•students excellent service in the
dining hall. We get good board
and plenty of it. about five hun
dred students take meals here
daily. The dormitories are filled to
the last room and some two hun
dred students live up town or at
tfien* homes.
But Listen! We really have
> some few Ladies in Dr. Jack’s
Graduate School. So we are not
boys here alone.
The Emory Spirit is well seen
among the Student Body. This
was true, especially on College
Night when some Freshmen were
introduced to the Upper ('lass
men.
We also have here a Senior Unit
of the R. O. T. C. under the sup
ervision of Lieutenant Colonel
Lynch. Colonel Lynch has seen
thirty years of Service in the U. S
Army; two years of which was
with the A. E. F. of the recent
wa r.
Our faculties are composed of
some of the greatest men of the
South. We would say this, espec
ially of our Deans; Dr. Odum, Dr.
Jack, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Elkin and
Dr. Barker.
After coming' to Emory and
being aware of the fact one would
he convinced that only the best
type of young men come here al
most without exception.
it would he well to say that
Emory’s future is great and with
in a few years will he recognized
as one’of the greatest institutions
of learning in the world.
She is now very young and do
ing great tilings. When older she
surely will accomplish many
great tilings and continue to grow.
I lost wishes for the Barrow
Times.

THE BARROW TIMES
ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL AS
SOCIATION.
Mr. A. A. Camp Is County Chair
man For Barrow County. A
Chance For Every Citizen Who
Desires To Have A Part In The
Roosevelt Memorial In Wash
ington.
No man who admires a real red
blooded American can help ad
miring the character of Theodore
Roosevelt, regardless of his poli
tics. Historians will record—have
already recorded—that lie was
one of the truly great men of
America. To found a suitable me
morial to him the Roosevelt me
morial Association was organized.
Their plan is to raise $10,000,000
from millions of subscribers all
over the country. It is a distinctly
popular and non-partisan move
ment.
Governor Dorsey has accepted
the honorary State Chairmanship.
This is proof enough that it is non
partisan. This movement should
hold an especial interest for all
Georgians, since the late ex-Presi
dent’s mother was a Georgian.
Each county in the State has
been given an apportionment oT
the total amount to raise by popu
lar subscription. Barrow County’s
apportionment is only SIOO.OO.
We should raise this and more. I
have started the subscription with
SIO.OO myself. Let every man, wo
man and child send in to me or to
J. C. Pratt, secretary, their con
tribution, however small. The
campaign week is October 20th to
27th. Let us have 1 lie full amount
and more by that time. Barrow
County lias always done her part
and more in every public move
ment. I am sure w e shall do it in
this. I shall be glad to have 90 one
dollar subscribers, as you are mak
ing history for Barrow County.

FORGET THE INCREASE IN
YOUR TAX VALUES THIS
YEAR.
A great deal has been said
about the increase in taxable pro
perty this year in "Winder. Most
of the criticism comes from those
not acquainted with circumstan
ces.
The city is getting ready to pay
Mr. 11. \. Rainey the balance due
on the school building amounting
to $13,000. As is generally known,
the $35,000 worth of bonds lack
13.000 completing the building.
This amount was harrowed from
Mr. Rainey and interest lias been
paid on this amount for the past
three years. The city authorities
are acting wisely in paying the
debt. While we are paying this
$13,000 debt, let us remember
what our school building would
cost today if we bad not built
when we did.
WINDER. BARROW COUNTY, UA.. THURSDAY. OCTOBER l. 1919
SOUGHT MONEY TO FIGHT LEAGUE
OF NATIONS FROM WRONG PARTY
Mr. George Whorton Peppers
who is chairman of the league or
ganized to try to defeat the lea
gue of nations, wrote his friend,
Mr. \Y. L. Sanders asking for fin
ancial aid in the fight against the
league of nations, below we print
Mr. Sanders’ reply:
New York, Oct. 10, 1919.
“George Wharton Pepper, Fsq..
Chairman,
League for the Preservation
of American Independence.
“Yly Dear Sir—l have a very
cordial feeling toward you, not
only because of your heritage,
hut up to the receipt of your letter
to me dated October 3rd I had al
ways said of you, that while diff
ering with others you were always
fair, polite and just. Your letter
soliciting my interest in your lea
gue will surely among fair-mind
ed men create a condition directly
opposite to that which you seek.
Apart from the uncalled-for insin
uations. there are glaring mis
statements of facts.
“You lei I me that there is a
campaign ‘to compel the Senate
to accept without amendment the
league covenant, etc.’ You know
that there is no such campaign
anywhere. No one is trying to
compel the Senate to do anything.
The campaign is one of education
and concentration of public opin
ion upon the Senate. Hasn’t the
public a right to do this? You
know we have, for we were both
educated within the shadows of
Independence Hall in Philadel
phia.
“Von say this campaign is car
ried on ‘largely at the public ex
pense.’ If you mean that the Pres
ident paid for his western trip out
of the traveling fund allotted him
by Congress, why don’t you sav
so? And if you had said so it
would have shown the falseness of
your statement when you say
‘carried on largely,’ for you komv
that the expense of the Presi
dent’s trip was a small item com
pared with the expenses incurred
by the League to Enforce Peace
and many individuals who have
contributed out of their private
incomes.
“You know that the President
in this has followed the example
of his predecessors. You set up a
picture at the top of your letter
head to remind us of President
Roosevelt, and one reminded that
comes to me is that he never hesi
tated to appeal to the people to
the fullest extent, traveling about
the country and bringing pressure
through the public upon the legis
lative branches of the government
Why should President Roosevelt
he commended for doing a thing
for which President Wilson is
condemned? You only show the
specious insincerity of your mo
tive by such statements.
‘‘ln the third paragraph of
your letter you again complain
that you cannot use public money,
throwing a discreditable slur upon
the President, of the United States
by stating that ‘unlike the Presi
dent the senators regard it as
their duty to remain at the seat of
government and attend to busi
ness. ’ Do they remain at the seat
of government? I have been read
ing about several of them travel
ing all the way to California,
speaking against the league of na
tions. Two senators are away on
this mission at the present time.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
MONROE TO HAVE NEW
HOTEL.
A prominent business man of
Monroe, has offered to erect a mo
dern hotel in Monroe if the city
would free it from tax for ten
years. Every town in Georgia
could afford to accept that propo
sition in order to have an up-to
date hotel. Watch Monroe accept
the offer if there are not any other
conditions under the surface.
MR. FOSTER HARDIGREE IM
PROVING.
The friends of Mr. Foster llar
digree were grieved to learn of
the very serious operation he un
derwent last Friday for Appendi
citis. The latest reports from his
bed side are favorable and that
the danger period has passed.
Delay in the action of the Senate
is partly due to the absence of
some of these senators. You state:
‘We must preserve an attitude of
respect for the presidential office,
therefore We thought it improper
to trail the President. Then why
have you trailed the President?
Your assumption of piety and re
spect is not shown in your letter,
which is full of insinuations
against t^ v President and which
ends *viUJ the statement : ‘This is
made necessary by Mr. Wilson’s
persistent and ingenious misrepre
sentations, etc.’ You, as a lawyer,
know that every document is cap
able of more than one interpreta
tion. Certainly the President is
entitled to his interpretation, and
you have no right to call it a mis
representation. You know full
well that the interpretation which
the President put upon this docu
ment is identical with that agreed
upon by twenty-three nations and
unanimously adopted at the Paris
Peace (’onferenee.
“You ought to know, because
of your education, that nobody is
making an attempt ‘to break
down the constitutional authority
of the Senate and surrender our
independence. You ought to know
because of your education, that if
the league is adopted exactly as
it stands it does not break down
the constitutional authority of
the Senate; that it does not en
force any surrender of indepen
dence. You are raising a false is-
sue and on the basis of such an
issue you are soliciting money.
“Almost the last sentence in
this extraordinary letter of yours
is a reference to the ordering of
American ships and sailors to Dal
matia. 'S on evidently do not know
w hat you are talking about when
| you say this was done without au
jthority of our Navy Department.
It was done by the authority of
the military operations in Europe,
still controlled by the military
council in which the United States
is represented. The secretary of
the navy is my authority for the
statement that this act was by
and with the authority of such
United States representatives at
Dalmatia.
“Come, now, my dear Mr. Pep
per, you always were a fair-mind
ed man. and T expect you to repu
diate the misstatements which
someone has evidently made over
your signature.
“Very truly yours.
“W. L. SAUNDERS.”

LETTER FROM MR. HOSCH.
The Barrow’ Times:
I have not had time to look over
record hooks in my club work and
for that reason, have not been
able to name the winners in each
club yet, hut will at an early date.
1 am busy here looking afte i>
our Harrow County Calf and Pig
club. Pigs and calves we have
here on exhibition I believe will
win some of the ribbons.
We are trying to gel up a very
creditable Barrow ( ! ounty Agri
cultural Exhibit, hut of course it
will not he as good as it should he
on account of the late start we
had, but this will he a good start
for us and we can show them a
few things in the future.
Thanking you for all of your
co-operation in the past in my
work and all you may render me
in the future , 1 am,
. Very Truly Yours,
W. Mill Bosch.
P. S.—Since writing the above,
I am glad to state that we finished
putting up our Barrow County
Agricultural Exhibit yesterday
and we are all feeling good lie
cause it shows up so well. We have
a much better exhibit than ive
thought we had.
W. HILL HOSCH.
COL. PORTER BARRETT
VISITING FRIEND HERE.
Col Porter Barrett, of Wash
ington. D. ('., who was horn and
bread in Morgan County, is visit
ing Ids divers kith and kin
throughout this section of the
State. When questioned about
Senator Smith, he said: “lloke
Smith stands very high in Wash
ington and it would he a great
mistake for the people to fail to
return him to the Senate. Few men
ever come to Washington with
such prestige as lie, having been
Secretary of Interior in President
Cleveland’s Cabinets, and twice
Governor of Georgia and lie lias
fully sustained himself. lie is
easily one of the ablest men in the
Senate and is concededly the very
best Lawyer in that body. I can
nol believe that the Empire State
of the South will he too blind to
her interest as to turn out Hoke
Smith, with his great ability and
long and varied experience in
public affairs, and put an inferior
and untried man in his place.”
*1.50 IN ADVANCE
R. L. ROGERS TO BUILD
ANOTHER WAREHOUSE
The business men of Winder
will welcome the news of another
warehouse to he erected in Win
der.
It is unfortunate that our busi
ness streets should be so badly
crowded with cotton for sixty or
ninety days each year. The auto
mobile trade comes nearly enough
blocking the main streets on Sat
urday afternoon, but when hun
dreds of bales of cotton are placed
in the streets also, ii is practically
impossible to pass. Especially is
this true when a dray stops in
front of a store to load up.
Mr. K. L. Rogers is soon to
erect smother large cotton ware
house in \\ inder which will great
ly relieve the situation.
GAMBLING HIT HEAVY BLOW
BY WINDER MINISTER.
On last Sunday morning and
evening. October 12th, at the
Christian Church, Rev. IfT E. Moss
emphatically condemned the
gambling spirit and habit so pre
valent today.
11 is text was First Thessaloni
ans sth chapter, 22nd verse: “ Ab
stain from every form of evil.”
“The old version reads “Every
Appearance of Evil,” said the
minister, “and all church mem
bers should strive to live accord
ing to the high ideal of life sug
gested by the brief text.”
“One of our very greatest evila.
of today is gambling in various
forms. The so-called North Geor
gia Fair was full of it, from start
to finish, full of wide-open gamb
ling in hold, defiant violation of
law and public decency. It was
not a fair. It was a fake, a com
mon street carnival, and a gamb
ling carnival at that, with such
evil effects. Unit the community
will not soon get over it.
Children, some of them too
young to realize what it all meant,
lust their dimes gambling with
turning wheels of chance. They
were following examples of older
people. It was highway robbery,
and the community is sick and
tired of it. Oh, the shame and dis
grace of it. The defiant disrespect
for law and morals. Surely our
people and our city will not again
tolerate such criminal violations
of law and order and such demor
alization. Blood money. Shekels of
sin.”
