VOLUME 5. NO. I
N^/S-PRINT SITUATION
SERIOUS
The shortage in news-print pa
per has brought on a serious situ
ation that in all probability will
iutee the suspension of many ot
the week!} papers all over the
country.
The price of news paper has
gone from 4 l /2 cents per pound in
j 918 to 12 cents per pound at the
present time, and the greatest
trouble is getting any at this price.
None of the big paper houses
are able to get it to fill the orders
already filed by the news-papers,
and many of these papers have no
stock on hand.
In order to partially overcome
this situation, the Times is forced
to publish as few pages as possi
ble to prepare against the non
appearance of any issue.
We feel this explanation is due
our readers ami that all of them
will appreciate the serious condi
tion with which we have to attend.
Nothing like if has ever been
known before in our country, and
we ask your forbearance and that
you will be generous enough not
to criticise us for a situation we
cannot help.

Is here, we are trying to perfect
a plan by which we hope to be able
to give the best service possible.
We have the promise of plenty oi
ICE. and we shall he ready at all
times to serve you.
We would urge and insist that
all our customers, provide them
selves with Ice books or change
to pay for ice when delivered.
It takes a lot of time, and is
very unsatisfactory to carry a
number of small charges on our
hooks each day. and we ask that
you buy books, and give tickets
or have the cash ready, and we
must insist that if you want ice,
and don’t expect to be at home
when the driver comes, be sure to
leave your ticket or cash where
the driver can get it.
Hoping to have the co-operation
of each customer, 1 am,
Yours for better service

COUNTY PRIMARY ELECTION
NEXT TUESDAY.
The county primary comes off
next Tuesday and the voters of
Barrow county will decide by
their ballots who are to he the of
ficials for the next four years, be
ginning with January 1, 1920.
All the aspirants are reputable
citizens and qualified to fill the
different positions to which they
aspire.
The campaign as a whole, has
been a quiet one, with little ex
citement to cause men to say and
do things to be regretted after
wards.
The man who misrepresents his
opponent or tries to mislead the
voters and prejudices them a
gainst his opponent by unfair and
unmanly means rarely ever is suc
cessful, because such tactics re
act on him and cause his own de
feat.
It is a family contest —a county
primary in which all men have
their preferences —and should not
result in any ill feeling.
LITTLE NED SEGARS.
While the last rays of the eveif
ig sun were lingering on Friday,
April 2nd, just so did the death
Angel steal into the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. Mark Segars and
took from them little Robert
('Joyed, their two year old babe
and carried him to the higher life.
God loves the bud of childhood,
and little Ned was nothing more
than a mass of purity.
JTe was sick only a short while
and everything that loving hands
could do was rendered. Hoping
and praying that he might he spar
ed them, but He that giveth never
errs and doeth all things well.
We know he will be missed by
his parents and how often will his
little brothers wonder and wish
for him in their childish play. But
with loving training from parents
they can feel and look forward to
the meeting where no sorrow
comes.
Little Ned is survived hv his
mother, father and three brothers,
Chester, Clarence and Clyde.
He was tenderly laid to rest at.
Union cemetery Saturday, April 3
The funeral services were conduct
ed try Rev. S. i . Higgins, <;i Au
burn, Go.
FOR THE PEOPLE
TO CONSIDER
Some persons think that the Or.
dinary will not have charge of the
roads after this year because the
grand jury recommended Rond
Commissioners.
This is only a roecommeiulution
and before it can be done there
must be a law enacted by the leg
islature and then submitted to the
people for ratification.
If is a doubtful question wheth
er the people will want this change
after they fully understand what
it means for the county.
The recommendation follows the
Walton county system, which
places the w hole responsibility of
finances on the commissioners as
well as the road work.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
VOTERS OF BARROW CO.
I regret that it seems necessary
for me again to adress the voters
of this county concerning the race
for County School Superintendent.
But since 1 entered the race there
have been so many untrue stories
told, as to what I would do, if
elected, it seems best to again
lay before the voters the real
facts in the case.
I quote below some of the fool
ish. false stories which have come
to me..
It is stated that 1 am not quali
fied. vet, I hold a College dip
loma, a certificate from the State
School Superintendent. I am a
member of a national Education
Board. I held teachers license at
the age of 21, have taught several
schools besides having had much
oter experience. It has also been
said that l would use students
from Auburn College as teachers
in the County Schools; that 1
would discourage high schools, in
order to send the stuudents to
Auburn College, that I would re
duce the school grades to seven,
that 1 would move all the county
schoolsto Winder; that 1 would
make large schools ten miles
apart, that 1 would run the schools
to suit Prof, llolsenbeck, that I
would have all the children in the
county vaccinated, that 1 live in
Winder (my opponent would move
Winder if elected.) also it has
been stated that I would put a
school in Winder, Statham, Beth
lehem, Auburn, and possibly one
in the country and force all the
children to go to these centers.
The above is only a partial list
of the tales that somebody has
told. Every one of these is abso
lutely false, except the one that I
live in Winder. Somebody has
handled the truth very carelessly.
These unworthy and foolish state
ments came from other minds
than mine, and of course will not
he believed by any person.
I am glad that 1 ran Hay truth
fully that I have told no stones
on my opponent, nor allowed them
to be told, so far as it was within
my power to prevent. My idea
of what a Christian gentleman is.
to say nothing of a minister of the
gospel, will not allow me to stoop
to the level of making and telling
unfounded stories. I want every
honest thinking voter to consider
these things before he eats his
vote.
I favor better schools, better
teachers with better pay, longer
terms when expedient,better roads
leading to the schools, maps.
(A: -Is, globes, in every school in
the county, a High • School in
reach of every boy and girl in the
county, I am in favor of all stu
dents finishing High School be
iore they enter any ' ind of college
I favor perfect huimony in the en
ure school system of '.lie county
ft least one annual raily at every
school in the county
If elected, I shall do all in my
power for the schools, fat I must
work in harmony with Ihe teach
ers patrons, local hoard m (Yus
vtrCK pnd the feon.-ty and state
Boards of education, and m all
things, he governed by the seh-.J
No one ear do more. None

CONCERNING C. W.
PARKER
To the Citizens of Barrow Cos.:
Asa friend of Mr. C. W. Par
ker all of my life, 1 beg to say a
few words in his behalf.
I have felt an interest in him for
a long number of years, knowing
the many drawbacks and adver
sities he bad in growing to man
hood and thal in his teens he lost
I,is father and was forced to de
pend entiielv on his own efforts.
Watching him closely during
all these years I have rejoiced to
see him tart at the very bottom
and by hard work and honest
dealings with his fellow-man grad
ually climb up the ladder and be
come a useful citizen.
During all this period he has
so conducted himself in all the re
lations of life as to have the res
pect and confidence of those who
know him.
There are few more level head
ed men than be, and no man who
world take more interest in look
ing after the county’s affairs for
the welfare of all classes.
He is a man of fine business
judgment, not an extremist, and
possesses all the qualifications
for making an ideal Ordinary and
one who would fearlessly and con
scientiously do his duty in all re
spects for the best interests of ev
ery citizen.
I am writing this without bis
knowledge, believing merits
it and that those w ho do not know
him so well and intimately may
know how those near him feel.
A Friend.
TO THE VOTERS OF BARROW
COUNTY
I wish to state to the voters of
the county that on account of sick
ness, the bad weather and no au
tomobile to take in all sections of
the county it lias been impossible
for me to sec many of you.
No one will appreciate your sup
port more than 1 will for the of
fice of County Treasurer.
Most of my life has been spent
in Ben Smith’s district.
During my life of (53 years, I
have never had hut two things
given me —measels and itch. Now
I ask my people to give me the
office of County Treasurer lor one
term and 1 will he satisfied and
grateful to you.
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM L. GRKESON.
