BUILD MORE HOUSES IN
WINDER
_ _ 1
It - a few men in Winder who are
financially able to do so would
build a few dwellings each, t<> ac
commodate those needing homes
by .January Ist next, they would
|>e benefactors.
It is true that material is high
anil it costs considerably more t<>
build a house .than it did a lew
years ago, rents have also advanc
ed two and three times as much
as they were a few years ago
The man of capital and the man
who has prospered owes this much
to Ihe public and at this time will
help to build his city and at the
-same time being of incalculable
service to those who are not able
to own homes of their own and
can find no vacant place to get lor
another year.
While helping others by doing
this, it is a business proposition
that will pay a fair per cent on
the investment, and not charity
work by any means.
The Times would like to see
some of our broad and liberal busi
ness men oateb the vision and do
this much to help enlarge Winder
end accommodate those who need
Phonies another year or will be
forced to leave.

THE BARROW TIMES
LAUNDRY GREATLY
NEEDED IN' WINDER
I
There is nothing for the general
public of Winder that is more
needed than a laundry.
This matter has been agitated
some by both papers in the past,
and also by some of our business
men.
The negro women of the city,
who wash for the public are be
coming fewer all the time and
more autocratic in their demands,
in fact you are at their mercy,
and they charge exorbitant prices
and you are helpless.
Host of them have to be bogged
and plead with to take your wash
ing at any price.
There is only one way by which
this can be overcome, and that is
to have a laundry in which most
of our people have a little stock
and stand by it and patronize it.
It does seem that most every
family would take a few shares at
per share in an enterprize
they all so urgently feel the need
of with 1 lie present conditions con
fronting < hem.
If some of our wide-awake busi
ness men would get together and
appeal to all the people to join in
this move there would he no trou
ble to accomplish this greatly
needed enterprise for Winder.

WOMAN IS SUED FOR S9OO
SHOES
New York, Nov. 10.—Talk
about, your sls to $2.5 shoes that
price is nothing to what some folks
have to pay. Take for instance.
-Mrs. Amelia K. I less of 112 W.
Fourteenth street, wife of a public
school principal.
Mrs. Hess contracted for a pair
of shoes last July, paying S2OO de
posit, and agreeing to pay monthly
installments of SSO. If she had
kepi up her payments she would
have owned the shoes free and
clear by the summer of 1920.
The trouble w as that Mrs. Hess,
after depositing her S2OO. became
eoi(vinc--d that a $25 pair of shoes
would do her.just as well, and now
tire Balanced Shoe Company. Inc..
40 West Thirty-ninth si reel, is su
ing her in the Sixth District Muni
cipal Court for tin* unpaid balance
of *7OO.
Mrs. Hess, through her attor
neys, has entered a eounlcr claim
for the return of the S2OO. alleg
ing that Matthew llilgert. presi
dent of the company, took advan
tage of tiro tact that she had pain
ful feet to sell her the S9OO pair,
on representations which sin* then
believed to he true, hut now does
not.
Mrs. Hess law yers also demand
ed a hill of particulars about these
extraordinary shoes, to which the
lawyer for the shoe company re
plied by furnisliig a copy of the
contract under which Mrs. Hess'
undertook to pay tor her shoes on
the installment plan.
4 lie contract is on a printed
card and has spaces at the bottom
for ten payments
What became of the shoes is a;
mystery in the proceedings, as the
■shoe company makes its claim for
“work, labor and services render
ed and to be rendered.”

did editorials. Some of which was
worthy of reproduction. In I’iret.

In the | iper we saw the editorials
jin. Ik-fit* wo had finished our ex

“('ommtuiily Spirrit Talk It
Over, and Talk Again”, “They

We are now wondering to
whom we shall credit these time

WHEN DID PROHIBITION
WIN?
Atlanta, Go.. Now 10 In ref Ji
buti on of the charge of the “wets”
that national prohibition was
“put over” mi the men in the
service while they were overseas,
the headquarters of tin* Georgia
campaign for the Anti-Saloon
League of American issued t,he
following rttatemeut today:
“The members of the Congress
which submitted lire National pro
hibit ion amendment to Ihe states
for ratification were elected large
ly on this very measure long be
fore a state of war existed bc
hvccii the Foiled States and tier
many. The amendment was sub
mitted by Congress Dec. IS, 1917,
when only a few scattering regu-
lar units had been sent overseas.
“Before the I nited States en
tered the war twenty-five states
had gone dry and w ere pledged to
national prohibition, and legisla
tors in enough others to carry the
amendment through had been ele
cted to office.
“There were fifty per rent more
people living in dry territory than
in licensed territory before a state
ol war existed between the United
States and Germany. Fifty-five
million people stood arrayed
against 40,000.000 in the direct, is
sue of prohibition before the war.
“The Eighteenth Amendment is
the culmination of organized ef
iort for over half a century. The
act of Congress is submitting the
amendment, and its ratification by
forty-five of the forty-eight states
is 111** result of years of organized
effort ami the growth of public
sentiment against the liquor traf
