WINDER SHUT OUT
ENEMY YESTERDAY
AFTER GIVING UP FIVE IN
A ROW, HOME TOWN BOYS
PUT ONE ACROSS.
The Winder ball team won their
game Wednesday from the fast
Thomson team by a score of 7 to 0,
-after giving up five straights.
Thomson was in Winder Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday ot last
week, taking all three games. The
son Monday for another 3-game se-
Winder team journeyed to Thorn
lies and gave up two, shutting out
Thomson in Wednesday's game.
Lippitt was on t mound for
the locals and evidently had some
thing the McDuffie yahoos were
not acquainted with.
Washington comes to Winder
today for three games and Higgins
men are after their scalps. Three
straights is the slogan.
Don't get discouraged, fans;
stick around and see the old homo
town boys win. The jinx in brok
en, the hoodoo lias been routed,
come out to every game this week
and root as you never rooted be
fore.
The locals have been strength
ened by the addition of two pitch
ers and a short. Belk at short is
said to be playing phenomenal hall
and home runs are not uncommon
for this lad.
Dome on fellows, let stick with
the team and we’ll pull out.
J. L. SAUL’S SALE CONTINUES
FOR ANOTHER TEN DAYS
The .T. L. Saul sale, inaugurated
about two weeks ago, will be con
tinued for another ten days, as will
be seen from bis advertisement in
this issue of The Times.
This sale lias brought to Winder
many people from far and near
ny aitd ansli n
and this announcement will be
good news to those who failed to
take advantage of the bargains of
fered during the first two weeks.
THIRTY BUSHELS OF HUM
BLE PEAS BRING IN $195.00
•Judge J. W. Luster, of Pentecost
district, sold 30 bushels of peas in
Winder last week for the small
sum of $195.00.
He says he will have to quit
raising peas unless he can get
more money than this for them.
The Times representative called
his attention to the fact that these
30 bushels brought him as much
as a bale of cotton.
He admitted this, but said the
peas did not. have to be worked
and it was so easy to raise them
that be ought to have had $200.00
and he would have been satisfied.
Think of 30 bushels of peas
bringing $195.00. But Judge f)os
ter said a fellow had to kick if he
was in keeping with the most of
us and that perhaps he would not
have growled as much had they
brought him $200.00 per bushel as
he did at receiving $6.50 per bush
el. It was simply so much money
for the 30 bushels that he just
thought lie ought to have gotten
more.
Judge Duster, in laying by his
corn sows the laud to peas so the
only cost attaching to them is the
seed peas and the picking.
If every farmer can do as well
as he, it would prove a profitable
crop this year for them and help
to make up the shortage in corn
and cotton.
Gone to West Point.
Mr. B. T. Baggett left this week
for West Point, New York milita
ry academy as an appointee from
tliis district.
He is one of our promising young

MARGUERITE CLARK AND
TOM MIX STARS AT STRAND
Miss Clark Feature on Friday, Ju
ly 2, Tom Mix on Monday,
July sth.
Marguerite Clark’s new picture,
“Three Men and a Dirl,’’ which
will lie shown at The Strand Fri
day—tomorrow—is one of the best
of her new repertoire. It is a
charming picture based upon a fa
mous Broadway success and it af
fords Miss Clark a delightfulu role
of which she makes the most. The
support is most praiseworthy.
On Monday, July sth, marks the
engagement of Tom Mix, the dare
devil star, in *‘3 flold Coins’’ at
the Strand, where he is sure to be
met by a capacity audience. In
this picture Mix plays a double
role, being seen as the hero and as
the “bad man.” As the hero he
outwits a pair of oil land crooks
who try to fleece the people of a
Western town with bogus stock
certificates. As the had man, lie
attempts to loot the town with his
bandits, hilt is captured. A pret
ty love story is effectively pictur
ed throughout.

done much for the development of
Barrow county. Few counties
have accomplished as much as Bar

lines will tell in the years to come.

county are winding up their work

Other Large Land
Deals Transacted
There is a growing demand for
Barrow county farms. There is
scarcely a day that some farm in
the county does not change hands
and each time at an advanced
price.
Mr. Hugh Maxey on Monday,
purchased from owner, through
Mr. dune H. Wood, the old home
place of Mr. Wiley Ptariek, later
owned by Mr. A. j. Haymon. The
price i*sid Is said to have been
$150.00 per acre for the tract of
more than 100 acres.
Mr. Maxey will probably move
on this place on January 1, next.,
he having sold the place purchas
ed by him last year from Mr. Joe
Pentecost.
Mr. C. A. Hutehins sold a few
days ago a farm at Cedar Hill
cross roads for $200.00 per acre.
It Is understood that the purchas
er of this property has already
been offered a profit on it. Each
time that land changes hands it

too late to buy to make a profit.
As stated by us heretofore land
has never reached the top and nev
er will as long as the human race
continues to multiply.

pleted and presented to the con
vention in time to give the sub

The balloting on candidates be
fore the convention will begin this
afternoon and continue until the
successful one wins.
McAdoo seems to be the strong
est man before the convention if
he allows his name presented.
It is hard to prognosticate just
what the result will be from the
news from there to date and there
is much talk of a dark horse.
If there is not too much friction
by the opposing factions and the
convention harmonizes on the
nominees and platform, the demo
cratic party will again be victo
rious and remain in power' anoth
er four years.
