THE BONDED STORAGE
WAREHOUSEXOMPANY
permanent organization having*
hern perfected for the erection of the
Government Bonded Warehouse, re
newed interest is being shown from all
sides. Additional amounts of stock
have been subscribed and in other ways
it is shown that the interest is begin
ning to grow. Your neighbor and all
who are talking and wishing that this
warehouse be built. It is no longer
necessary to impress upon the cotton
farmer’s mind the necessity of proper
storing of his cotton.
It is hoped that this interest will con
tinue to grow until every man who
raises cotton in this section will come
around and ask that he be given stock
in this proposition. Now is the time
to make a good investment aside from
the advantage that the investment will
get from a good place to store his cot
ton. he will get a good return upon the
money placed in this warehouse. Such
warehouses in this and other sections
arc paying dividends from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent.
This project is being fostered and
pushed by the host farmers and busi
ness men of Barrow county, which guar
antees that it is not a gold brick or a
fake proposition. Your investment will
J>c safe-guarded by the honor and the
best business ideas that those men can
give. The success that these men as
farmers and business men have attain
ed is enough evidence that they will
make this adventure a success.
The limit that is placed on the amount
of stock is low enough that no man or
set of men can control the affairs ot
this warehouse in such way that it will
be an injury to any stockholder. One
thousand dollars being the limit gives
every man in the county au opportuni
ty to co-operate with his fellow cotton
raisers and business men towards luak
ing Barrow county the foremost county
of North Georgia.
Concerted action is necessary at once,
so that this stock can bo raised and the
warehouse started and made ready for
the cotton crop in the early fall. Turn
this matter over in vour mind, talk
with vour friends and do all you can to
make this thing go.
Keep your eyes on the newspapers
and keep posted as to any meetings
that may be held from time to time for
the promotion of 11 1 ienterprise.
MISS LOIS SEGARS ATTENDING
BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Aliss Lois Segal's left last week for
Athens where she will remain for sev
eral months taking a business course.
she is one of Winder’s ambitious and
deserving young ladies and we feel sure
will succeed in any avocation in which
sh-c engages after receiving her diplo
ma.
Miss Lois was a valuable asset to The
Times, having been operator for the
past eight months until leaving for
school last week.
She could turn out as many galleys
per day as most operators and was ev
er ready to do her best.
She will be greatly missed, and the
entire force of the Times office wishes
for her a bright and profitable future.
There is little satU’action in any bus
iness when there is discord, when em
ployer and employees do not feel a close
interest in one another, doing their du
ty and using their best efforts to make
that business a success.
The Times endeavors to treat every
one in its employe so that we may feel
as one family, building friendships that
will continue to grow as the days go by
and that will bring pleasant memories
in the years to come.
Wc indulge the hope that Miss Lois
Sugars can in future years look back
to the period of her connection with
The Times with few regrets, that she
will forget tho worries and the correct
ing of proofs and think only of the
bright side in a newspaper office.

the Democratic party last Saturday was
attended by a small crowd, but Col. AY.
H. Quartorman, county chairman, called
the house to order and made a patriotic
talk, telling what the party had done in
the past, its great achievements, its
lights for southern homes in the dark
days of reconstruct ion and its success
ful efforts during the present adminis
tration to free the people from the
clutches of Wall street by the estab
lishment of the Federal Reserve Banks.
His speech impressed those who heard
him as one of intense sinceretv, not for
the purdnse of playing to the prejudi
ces and divergent views of some as to
the present democratic administration
and policies of the party, hut appealing
to the patriotism and loyalty of demo
crats instead of encouraging antago
nisms and party contention which help
to disrupt instead of unifying those
who claim to be democrats.
After his speech he declined the fur
ther honor of serving as county chair
man and Mr. R. <). Rosa was elected to
suceed him.
The following Executive Committee

WORST MONEY CRISIS
PREDICTED BY GILLETT.
Springfield, Mass., FebS — The I sit
ed Stales is facing Hie worst financial
crisis in its history, declared Speaker
Frederick 11. Gilletf, of. the national
house of representatives, this afternoon
in address before 5,000 persons. 'I In
present high cost of living, he said, is
due largely to the greatly inflated con
ditions. due to the floating debt of four
billion dollars in treasury certificates,
and tho principal mean of bringing it
down is by thrift on the part of the pub
lie with tie' alternative that this coun
try will face a panic similar to that of
IStr.. 1 1 is up to the public, he said, to
pra-tie due cares, eliminate luxuries so
that the present conditions may be bet
tered.
Like the problem of years ago when
the government was forced to fight
trusts, the speaker said that today con
gress faces anew question, “a question
whether the combination of the employ
ed are not more threatening to our bus
iness life than that of the employers.”
Continuing, he declared lie believed
that labor unions are essential for the
protection of the men, but “when they
go so far as to threaten for their own
advancement to stop the wheels of the
railroads and dose the output of the
mines, without which our whole indus
trial organization would collapse, they,
in their turn, are exercising a pnwer
which no government can safely, per
mit.”
Speaking of Victor Berger and his ex
pulsion from congress a second time
without having the facts brought out,
Speaker Oillctt said such action was
no once-expelled representative
justified as the constitution provides
from bis seat is eligible to return.
WINDER GAINS NEW CITIZEN.

partner of Mr. W. C. Horton’s for some

mended as a splendid man, and Mrs.

tractive little daughter, Kathleen.
The Times is delighted to welcome

INSTRUCTIVE TALK ON BOLL
WEEVIL.
Mr. Manus, a government expert,
made tin interesting and instructive
talk Wednesday afternoon to a number
of our citizens in Judge Hill’s office on
the weevil and what he is liable to do
for us.
He siti l l that we need not be halluci
nated by the idea we were too high tip
to be affected by his ravages for the
cold weather would not kill all of them,
and with a few left they multiplied so
rapidly wo could not count them.
lie informed us thnt from one male
and one female weevil there would he
1.1,000,000 of them in only four months.
llis advice was to prepare for them
by thoroughly ‘preparing our land, inn
miring heavily, cutting acreage and
making a bale or more per acre. Also
to work fast and long and picking up
and destroying all of the falling
s< | vi a res.
What he endeavored to impress on
the farmers was the importance of re
alizing we were sun to have them, es
pecially if we had a rainy summer, and
that it was very essential not to plant
over seven acres to the mule in cotton
so that we could manage to get the mas
terv of the weevil and make seven bales
of cotton on the seven acres instead of
planting a larger acreage to the mule
and probably getting two or three
bn les.
If we had a dry sunutidr he thought
we might not be affected here so mate
rially this year, but that it was the part
of wisdom to cut acreage and raise
more corn, meat and other things und
be on the safe side.
We wish every farmer in Barrow
countv could have heard him. listened
to his candid and earnest appeal. He
been in deadly combat with him all
over Georgia for the past five years and
knows what the boll weevil will do, lias
his advice and counsel should be heed
t*(l.
]>ofi ’t gut i 1 in vour bead we will not
have boll weevil, but farm so as he will
not hurt you badly when he does come.
