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.

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.
