SPLENDID RECORD FOR
GOOD ORDER AT THE FAIR.
Chief Sim Hill says the splendid
record for good order at the fair
deserves mention.
The opening day—Tuesday and
Tuesday night— resulted in only
one arrest for disorderly conduct.
Considering the large gathering
of persons, this speaks well for
the big crowd for the management
and for the police force.

THE BARROW TIMES
GINNERS REPORT FOR
BARROW COUNTY.
The report of cotton ginn
ed in Harrow county previ
ous to September 25, 1920,
amounts to only 820 hales as
compared to 4,812 bales for
the same period in 1919.
This shows the crop is
much later this year than last
and also indicates the crop
will be much shorter.
W. C. T. U. CONVENTION

These are busy days for Winder,
and other busy days are coming—
days that will be full of good
things. Wc are wondering just
how the State Hoard of the Wom

is going to crowd into the days be
tween October 19 and 22 all of the
splendid things they are promis
ing us, but we know they can and
-will do it, and more, too. Only to
day we learned that Mr. Jesse IA
Mercer, of Atlanta, chief inspector
of prohibition law enforcement, is
to be here and speak one night.
We all want to hear him.
We are counting on hearing Mrs
Elizabeth A Perkins of Ann Arbor.
Michigan, who is the Director of
Child Welfare in the National W.
('. T. r.. This most important work
is receiving the best attention of
the leading.people of the country
today, for on the welfare of the
children depends the future wel
fare of our country. Il is a great
privilege to have Mrs. Perkins
with us. and to hear her message.
Every committee of the local
.union is as busy as possible pre
paring for the coming of the con
vention. The honor and good name
of Winder are at stake, and we do
not want to leave anything undone
that may contribute to the success
of this great occasion We leei
ihP ad of Winder is witii ns in
this i> otter. Some hav • not vet
made plans for helping to enter
tain these coining guests. Such
can secure the names of those as
signed to them by telephoning to
Mrs. W. X. Bailey. No. 92. We
want you all to enjoy these splen
did women with us, and get the
blessing that their presence will
bring into your homes. If those
who have already opened their
homes wish to know the names of
their coming guests, they can get
this information from Mrs. Bailey.
She knows.
The dinners for all delegates for

ble to come for the full time. A
warm w elcome is extended to any

WINDER, HARROW COUNTY. OA„ THURSDAY, OCTOHKH 7, 1020
DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR
CARS TO REMAIN SAME PRICE
Official confirmation of press dis
patches from Detroit, announcing
that there would be no reduction
in the price of Dodge Brothers Mo
tor Cars. has been received by
Smith Hardware Cos., the Dodge
Brothers dealers in this city. A
telegram from C. W. Matheson,
acting general sales manager to
the local dealer, reads:
“Dodge Brothers policy has
ever been to give full value
for the price asked. There will
he no reduction in the present
prices of Dodge Brothers mo
tor cars. Newspaper reports
to the contrary are absolutely
untrue.”
“Dodge Brothers announcement
Was no surprise to us,” said Mr.
Smith. In fad. it is noly a sub
stantiation of Dodge Brother's bus
iness principles. At no time have
they ever demanded an excess
amount for their product. As in
the past, they will continue in the
future to demand a fair return for
their efforts.
“The mere fact that the demand
for Docle Brothers motor ears is
still greater than the supply, de
spite the great expansion program
at the factory, has absolutely noth
ing to do with the decision t<> con
tinue the present price's. In mar
keting their car Dodge Brothers
have never made a point of price
and will never sacrifice the' quali
ty of their product to enter price
competition.”

*1.50 IN ADVANCE
The Winder All-Stars took on
the Riverside preps Wednesday
afternoon at Valley Park and af
ter a real scrap sent them homo
with the little end of a 7 to 2 score.
The \\ iiuler hoys deserve a world
of credit and a better attendance
from the home clan for the splen
did team they have gotten togeth-
j or. With a little more coaching
land endurance they will boast o£
Ia championship team.
Riverside arrived a little late,
but were soon in uniform and
ready to go. Riverside won the toss
and elected to receive and defend
the nnrth goal.
Ralph Smith kiekd off fifty
yards and the game was on. Riv
erside was able 1o gain consistent
ly for the first few minutes of play
and pushed the ball to the five
yard line, but the Winder line
braced and held and the hall went
over. On a had pass Mc.N'ahb fum
bled, recovered, but was tackled
behind the goal for a safety. The
first <|uarler .ended with Winder
in possession of the balk River
side 2. Winder 0.
In t.he second (pinrtcr both tearns
I made pretty gains but neither side
; was able t n score.
Rivcside kicked off to Winder
to start tin 1 third quarter. Winder
boys showed the effect of the fif
teen minute rest and marched
|down the field in splendid fashion.
1 Riverside man intercepted ii for
l
mi <1 pa -but was downed in bis
’tracks. Riverside gained steadily
! .
on short forward passes till ITar-
vcy Lokey caught one and ran 40
yards to a touchdown. He was en
abled to make this the prettiest
run of Ihe game by perfect inter
ference by Boy Smith. Third quar
ter ended with Winder on ten
yard line plowing for another
.touchdown. Biverside, 2;"Winder,
i.
Biverside and Winder both re-
sorted to a punting game in the
last quarter. Both teams made des
|>< rate etTorts at touchdowns, hut
al the critical moment the lines
held. The Winder line held for
downs on the five yard line while
Riversirh braced on their 10 yard
line. The game ended 7 to 2 in
favor of Winder. Lewis at quar
ter and his right guard played best
for Biverside while the whole Win
der team starred at times. Mc-
Nabb is a good field general; Lo
key made the touchdown and gain
ed through the line at will. Pete
Rogers gained constantly on end
runs. Boy Smith was in every play.
Brose Jackson stopped the gains
around right end when he was sub
stituted for Badford. Boh Gamp
gained on off tackle plays. Ralph
Smith played a good game at cen
ter and got off some nice punts.
Cupid Potts and Pressley at guard
always held at the critical moment
Bop GrifTeth and Squat Hodges
made a dandy set of taeklers. They
waded through the line on several
occasions. The ends were strong
and Riverside was never able to
gam much around them. River
side gained best, on short passes.
It was a great game and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the small
crowd. Come on Winder, and suj>-
port a good foot ball team.
Winder will meet G. M. C. at
Valley Park Get. 16.
