VOLUME .'4. NO. 43 ABOUT EMORY 5 UNIVERSITY * 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. Ralph ('. Cross. NOTICE.

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. A. A. Camp. Chairman. J. C. Pratt, Secretary, W. 11. Quartermau, L.

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.

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.” A Subscriber. DR. HODGES BUYS SUMMER HOME. Dr. L W. Hodges has purchased a tract of land in Rabun flap con taining twenty acres on which he will erect a duples cottage which he and Mrs. Hodges will occupy during the summer in the future.
