ination in tlie first primary. Wat
son carried Richmond county by a

THE BARROW TIMES
The Race for Representative.
In the race for representative
in this county the league of na
tions was made an issue and a
test as to a candidate’s claims on
the voters.
1 was a candidate and urged by
many to come out unreservedly
against the league.
1 was opposed to the league with
out some reservations safeguard
ing'our country and preventing
our young men from being forced
to go to Europe to fight for other
nations, hut have always felt that
if a league could he formed that
would prevent future terrible
wars like the one we have recently
passed through it would he a bless
ing to humanity.
It was and is a matter acted up
on by the United States senate and
outside of the domain of a Georgia
legist a tu re.
Being made an issue, however,
numbers of my strong personal
friends cast their ballots against
me.
Men often become excited in
campaigns and are influenced by
questions foreign to the duties
coming before men elected to offi
cial positions.
This is unfortunate but is nev
ertheless done and will continue
to he done as long as the world
continues.
The verdict of tlie people is su
preme and we should never become
a grouch and sour on the world be
cause tilings do not come our way.
We are all dependent on one an
other and should forget these po
litical fights after they are over
and pull together and work togeth
er, cultivate closer friendships,
stand by and encourage those who
are elected and look on the bright
side of life.
I thank my friends, and with
congratulations to Mr. Russell, our
next representative, and best wish
es for all of our people. 1 am,
Yours truly,
A. 0. LAMAR.

LETTER FROM REV. R. E. 1
MOSS OF NASHVILLE. TENN.
To my many Winder friends:
How I miss you all this moning
and how very dear you are to me.
How glad I would he were I with
you, strong and in good Health,
and speaking face to face with your
instead of lying here in bed flat of
my baek and dictating my greet
ings and good wishes to my nurse.
September is here, hut I am not
thee. Yet when 1 left Winder two
months ago I had hoped to he hack
this very week and enjoying your
presence at the very time you are
reading this brief letter, but Ihe
old, time-honored phrase, “man
proposes hut God disposes,” has
certainly proved true in my case.
For I am very, very weak, really
too feeble to dictate a long letter,
for it almost exhausts me. But felt
just must write you all a few
words of love and greeting right
now.
I seldom sit up; 1 improve very,
very slowly, but surely the doctor
thinks. My meals are brought to
me. My mother and sister treat me
like a baby. How good to be at
home with loved ones. t
How I miss my little friends, the
children of Winder. So bright and
cheerful. “Howdy” to every one
of you. Love and good cheer tat
the aged, the sick and the “shut*
ins.” *
With codial best wishes foe
churches and all the good people
of Winder for health and strength
and peace of mind, I am,
Fraternally, ;
R. E. Moss,
P. S. The doctor allows me to
eat pecans. Om for some from
Winder.
The Times received the above let
ter too late for publication last
The many friends of Mr. Moss
will learn with much sorrow of his
continued illness and regret that
he is still confined to his room and
unable to spend the month of Sep
tember here.
The Times hopes it will not bo
long before he is restored to health
and usefulness again.
