THE GROWTH OF WINDER
NATIONAL BANK
'iji the steady growth, progress
and development of our city, no
institution has had a greater part
than the Winder National Bank,
which on March Isl takes another
important forward step, increas
ing its capital in the amount of
SIOO,OOO and its surplus in the
amount of $50,000.
This makes the \\ inder Nation
al Bank’s capitalization $200,000.
and surplus and profits over SIOO,-
000, and makes March Ist. 1920
another proud day in Winder’s
onward career.
A brief resume of the progress
and growth of this hank will be
interesting to our readers just
here. Organized in 1899 as the
Winder Banking Company, incor
rated under the laws of the State
of Georgia, beginning with a capi
tal of $25,000, when the city of
Winder was a town of less than
one thousand people, it took fore
most rank in the financial devel
opment of our city from its earli
est beginning. During the follow
ing year it took over tlie business
of the Bank of Winder, which as
a branch hank of one of the hanks
of the Witham system had before
this meritoriously, yet inadequate
ly. served the financial needs of
our people. In a short space of
time, thereafter it became evident
that a larger hanking service to
this growing city was needed, and
its capitalization was increased in
1902 to $50,000. Again respond
ing to the needs of a growing busi
ness and a growing city, its capital
was again increased in 1911 to
SIOO,OOO.
The next important change in
the history of the institution came
with the advent of the Federal
Reserve Banking System. Real
izing the importance to the farm
*Mg, industrial and commercial
interest of our country, that the
establishment of the Federal Re
serve Banking system would mean
the heads of the Winder Banking
Company quickly set to work to
avail themselves and the communi
ty of its privileges, and in 1915
the Winder Banking Company, be
came the Winder National Bank,
under a charter issued by the Na
tional government and
1 o all the advantages of a Nation
al Bank and of the great Federal
Reserve system.
And so, the present increase of
capital is but in keeping with the
enviable record of achievement
that this splendid financial insti
tution has had from its earliest
beginning.
The Directors and Officers of
the Winder National Bank remain
the same as during the past year,
with the exception of three new
additions to the Board of Direct
ors, who are C. O. Maddoz, Dr. W.
L. Mathews, and I. E. Jackson.
The other directors are; T. A.
Maynard, H. A. Carithers, G .W.
DeLaperriere, Dr. L. C. Allen, of
Jloschton; R. L. Manning, of Beth
lehem ; W. 11. Braselton, of Lras
elton; W. B. McCants, Jno. M.
Williams, W. T. Robinson, A. A.
Camp and Lee S. Radford. In
addition to these are; R. J. Pente
cost, J. I. J. Bell, and N. J. Kelly,
honorary members, who after long
and useful service have at then
own request been relieved from
their active duties.
The officers are; W. B. McCants
chairman of the Board, T. A. May
nard, president; Lee S. Radford,
first vice-president; A. A. Camp,
second vice-president; C. O. Mad
dox, cashier; 11. M. Oakley, assist
ant cashier; and M. C. Wiley,
trust officer and manager Savings
Department.
All of the directors and officers
are so well and favorably known
that it is unnecessary to add a
word of comment further than to
say that they are among our lead
ing and most progressive citizens,
and each of them are contributing
of their energies and rare business
ability to the Winder
Bank, and its continued success.
It is but fitting here to express
a word of tribute to T. A. May
nard, earliest promoter and organ
izer of this bank, and president
eontinously since its organization,
for it is to him and to his well
known business ability, perhaps
more than to any other single in
dividual, that the substantial

SUPT. HOLSENBECK WITH
DRAWS FROM RACE.
March 1. 1920.
To the People of Barrow County:
Finding that my own personal
affairs require more of my time
and attention than 1 have been
able to give them while in office,
I am withdrawing from the race
for County School Superintendent
It was at the solicitation of a large
number of people from all parts
of the county that 1 agreed to run
again; but after considering the
matter from every standpoint, I
feel that both in .justice to myself
and to the office that it would be
best for me to withdraw from the
race. 1 have thoroughly enjoyed
this work and regret to leave it.
I have done my best to make the
schools of the county more effi
cient than I found them. Ido not
claim all credit for what has been
done. The schools are in better
shape than I found them, but this
has been accomplished by the aid
of the people of the county in each
school district, and under the di
rection of a competent Board of
Education. Those districts that
have responded the most readily
have progressed the most rapidly.
Keeping up this same spirit will
offer greater progress in the fu
ture.
We should have a longer term
of school in the rural districts,
with more and better paid teach
ers.
If I had continued in office, this
would have been my aim in the
next four years. Our schools can
not run with the state funds alone,
and a county-wide school tax is
the only solution.
I wish to again express my re
grets in giving up this work, and
assure you that at any time that I
can render anyone any service I
will gladly do so. I wish to thank
those who have so kindly express
ed themselves to me as being in
terested in my campaign, also
those others whom T have not been
able to see.
Appreciating most highly the
honors you have conferred on ine,
I am,
Most sincerely,
W. M. HOLSENBECK.

guiding hand still at the helm,
supported by the splendid corps
of fellow officers, its continued
success is assured.

NEGRO ROW SUNDAY
IN HEART OF CITY
Hustler Patman, the proprietor of
an aristocratic restaurant on Ath
ens street, had some visitors last
Sunday afternoon who seemed
more intent anil getting up a row
than eating some of the best of the

Will Evans, who hailed from
the country was right in feeling
he was good as a town darkey, hut
to keep out of a tight when Tom,
Ed and Will llayes, colored, all
wanted to devour him, left the
restaurant. The three caught him
in front of the Parker Furniture
store on Broad street and he had
to tight for his own preservation
so those who witnessed it claim.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
PEOPLE SHOULD CON
SIDER SOME THINGS
It is strange that so many per
sons who ought to know better, do
things that cause much trouble
and expense.
What we wish to call your at
tention to, as one of the inexcusa
ble things, is throwing thick pa
bottles fund other trash into the
per, orange peelings, paste hoard,
toilets and sinks of our city.
It forces working on Sunday
very often, digging up the streets
to got. these things out of the sow
ers, causes a lot of worry and a
heavy expense to the eity.
A child should be taught better
and grown people certainly ought
to know better.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE
4-H CLASS?
(By Rose Dillard.)
The four-leaf clover with an II
inscribed in each leaf is our club
emblem. This tells in a very sim
ple and emphatic way some of the
things in which club work edu
cates those who take advantage of
the opportunities it offers.
The first H stands for HEAD.
Club work trains one to think
clearly and to plan his work to
ward a definite end. In keeping
a record of the work done he gets
some spledid business training too.
It. is the boy or girl aiming at
something who hits the mark.
The second II stands forHEART
Club work teaches one to be kind
Especially is this true of those
who are dealing with animals. By
the constant care and interest in
them, a real affection is cultivated
which enables us to better under
stand and appreciate the animals
that mean so much to us.
Club work teaches one to he
true to himself, because if he is a
real club member he must live up
the best lie knows.
“To thine own self be true,
Then it follows as the night the clay
Thou canst not be false to any man.’’
The third II stands for HAND.
The world is looking today for t he
person who can use his hands to
do something well. Club work
teaches us to make our hands use
ful and helpful. One of our Har
row county club girls furnishes a
striking example of this fact. By
her club work she has won be
tween four and five hundred dol
lars last year. She is sending her
self to the A. & M. seho.n on a part
of this money. In club work we
learn bow to do things in a skill
ful and scientific way which trans
forms the common—place things
into a real joy.
The person who knows he can
do a thing well, and who has some
thing of his very own which he
made with his own hands, has a
feeling of self-respect which noth
ing else can give.
The last II stands for HEALTH.
Good health is the foundation for
success. Who can deny that good
health is the natural outcome of
club work? A dub member lias
something good, wholesome, ami
uplifting to think about, to feel
about, and to do about. It also re
quires a certain amount of honest
labor to make a success ol club
work. Use good health than all
the medicine that the doctors can
administer. If our bodies are
strong and fit, then we are able
to resist disease and the tearful
epidemics that are abroad in the
country.
I shall have under my supervis
ion three clubs this year—-the can
ning club for girls, the garden
club for boys, and the poultry
club for girls and boys. Anyone
between the ages of twelve and
eighteen are eligible for member
ship. For both the canning and
garden clubs you must cultivate
at least a twentieth-acre prefera
bly a tenth acre. For poultry club
you must have seven hens; set as
many as forty-five eggs, and
enough pure-bred eggs to have by
next fall seven pure-bred hens and
one coekrei.
Wide-awake girls and hoys of
Barrow county let me urge you to
join one of these clubs right away.
These opportunities are given yon

DEATH OF MRS. J. D.
QUILLIAN BRINGS GRIEF
AND SORROW
The death of Mrs. J. D. Quillian
lasi Friday morning brought grief
and sorrow to many hearts in
Winder.
It Was peculiarly sad from the
fact she was just in the bloom of
young womanhood, only about 30
years old. She was the wife of Mr.
I Joe 1). Quillian. one of our popu
lar and rising young attorneys
and her untimely death is the
greatest sorrow that could have
come to him. Stricken with that
dreadful (malady, influenza, she
continued to grow worse and
when pneumonia took hold of her
there was little hope by her loved
ones for her recovery.
Mrs. Quillian had the warm
friendship of every one in Winder
who know her.
She left two small children and
an infant only a few duys old. The
little babe died Sunday afternoon
and was placed on her bosom and
both buried in same casket.
The funeral and burial service
took place at Gainesville where
she was reared.
Mrs. Quillian was a niece of Mrs
Evans, of Gainesville, Mrs. Smith,
of Atlanta, and Col. E. T. Brown,
of Washington City.

MIXING A FEED FOR MILK
COWS.
A reader writes: “Please give
the quantity of the following to
feed milk cows at each feed to
•nve host resuUs:”
Cottonseed meat.
Wheat shorts.
XIoIuSHOS feed.
Cottonseed hulls.
This inquiry is published to call
attention to the fact that suficient
facts arc not given to enable us to
give an intelligent answer.
First, there are probably sever
al dozens of molasses feeds
on the market, and unless the,
name of the feed, or better still,
its guaranteed composition, is giv
en we cannot know what feed nu
trients it contains, for the e<mi]>o
sition of these so-called molasses
or sweet feeds varies considerably.
In the second place, the prices of
the feeds delivered on the farm
and the amounts of milk the cows
are giving are also important mat
ters which must be known before
the cows can be fed intelligently.
The feed or the ration which
causes the largest flow of milk
may not give the “best results,’*
for the increase in the flow of milk
produced by expesive feeds may
not he sufficient to pay for the
greater cost.
In the first place, the best re
sults cannot be obtained from
milk eows which receive only cot
tonseed hulls for roughage, but as
a guess we suggest the following
mixtures of these concentrates,
giving one (1) pound of the mixt
ure for every 3 to 3V£ pounds of
milk produced daily:
300 lbs. CottonsetHl Meal.
100 lbs. Wheat Shorts.
500 Jbs. Molasses Feed.
It is assumed that the cows are
given all the cottonseed hulls they
will eat.—Progressive Farmer.
