STATEMENT FROM W. 0. PERRY lit his wail last week concerning 1 lit*"recommendation* of lie grand jury and the failure of the people to hack the offirials'in the enforce ment of the prohibition law, Mr. K. <>. Koss, editor of the Winder News, took his second fling at me on account of a verdict of not guilty I helped to make in 1h .Jack Me-Daniel case charged with killing Uhe Duke. As is generally known. 1 long ago ceased to notice any criticism of myself by Mr. Koss except w hen he deliberately makes a misstatement of facts. I qUote his second criticism of the McDaniel verdict as follows: “At this term of court a good citizen was brought to the court sc to testify that he would not believe a witness on oath, lie was caught on the jury and was made foreman of the jury in the case where the witness testified. The verdict demonstrated that he did not believe the witness on oath. Was he a competent juror? Or should the jury have been permit ted to p:iss on 1 1 is oat li. The above statement is about as nearly correct as Mr. Koss us ually gets them in his efforts to discredit and criticise everything I do and say. In the first place. I don’t rem ember of ever having heard of .lack .McDaniel killing Obe Duke until llic case v\as tried the se cond Tuesday in the recent term of our court, nor do I renictnbor of ever hearing of -lack McDaniel before that date as I have been in Winder only a small part of the time before and since that event. It is possible I may have heard of it but ii' so it had entirely slip ped my mind. In the second place, I was licit h cr BKOHMIT, stibpoanaed or re quested to go to the court and testify I would not believe a wit ness oil oath in the McDaniel ease. I did remain in W inder on Tuesday of the second week of court to confer wit li < ’ol. K 11. Kimball on a ease in which I am administrator. I had to go to the court room to see him and when 1 did, tin- she rift’ had the clerk to place-ni) name at* a juror. \\ bile t u tc. Col. K. C. Kussell called me aside and ask me if 1 remembered a negro woman by the name of oh. Duke. I told him l remember ed the name but would not know tlu woman if I were to meet her on the street. He then ask me coll ect ui: g her reputation in police court while I was Mayor. I told him it was bad. ’Thai is the only conversation I ever had with Col. Russell regarding the woman. I was matlo foreman of tlm jury ami when the state tailed, in my judgement. to offer suftieient evi dence to convict McDaniel, l sup ported a verdict of not guilty. I don't consider that it should he any fault of mine that Mr. IJos brothel' was on the losing side • the verdict. t must say that I deeply sympa thize with Mr. boss in his el >'t to arouse the people to the and. charge of their duty is bach in*., the officials in the enforcement the prohibition law. 1 know just how he feels. I’ve been right then myself. In 1916, the chairman id' the po lice committee had two white men and one negro detective to come and try to clean the town up. Mr. Ross himself was about the first to criticise me on the streets and thru his paper and even tried to put the negro detective in jail for carrying a weapon to protect himself from the crowd on the streets at night while some thirty five blind tigers were being tried. I hope Mr. Ross lias reached the point to where he can support the officials in the enforcement of the prohibition law regardless of who may l>e Mayor. I fear however that being con sistent on any question is rather difficult he is to be judged by the following advice from him given within six months of each other. On March 6th 1919, Mr. Koss stood this way: “You should trade at home - the home merchant is your best friend and if he hasn’t got what you want, he can get it.’’ On Sept. 18th 1919. after re ceiving an order for advertise ments away from home, he stood this way: “Read the advertisements from our sister cities in this issue and if you see any thing you want, go get it. The roads are good and a few miles makes hut little diff erence in a flivver.” Kesptlv. W. 0. PERRY. WOMEN COMING INTO THEIR OWN. Willi all the horrors of the re cent war, many good thoughts are to be found if one looks for them. For many years, women have been looked upon as mere school teachers and not worth much pay even in that line, of late, we find that women are demonstrating to i ie world that they are as compe tent as men in most lines of work and more so in many lines. below we copy an interesting article concerning a mere woman: WOMAN BANK CASHIER. The Peoples Hank of Sardis, (la., lias the distinction of having tlie only woman bank cashier in Georgia. She is Miss Carrie -T. Weathers, an Augusta girl, and still in her twenties. She first be came private secretary to *l. A. Davis, president of the bank, and she evinced such remarkable busi to the responsible position of cashier soon followed. The Peoples Dank is a member of the federal reserve system and was mentioned as a model for a well conducted country hank by Governor W. It. Wellborn, of the federal reserve hank id' Atlanta, in a speeeli before the Georgia Bankers Association. One of the noticeable tilings about tli Sardis hank, as pointed out by local hankers, is its method of doing business, it lends money on cotton to farmers only. The average country bank pays more attention to lending to buyers. For the hist two years, it is stated no farmer lias sold cotton in this hank’s territory unless he was ready to sell. While the bank pays for cotton for. buyers, it requires quick' and frequent settlements. Birdn of Town*. Somebody must have a love for bird life.
