VOLUME U. NO. 43
DEMOCRACY WILL WIN
BARROW COUNTY SHOULD
ROLL UP A BIG MAJORITY
TURN OUT AND STAND BY THE NOMINEES OF YOUR PARTY.
WHITE SUPRAMACY IS AT STAKE —-THE SALVATION
OF THE SOUTH DEPENDS ON A VICTORY FOR
DEMOCRACY —HELP TO MAKE THAT
Do You Want Lincoln Johnson, the
Negro Leader of the Republican
Party Dictate and Control the
Federal Offices for Georgia? If
Not Vote for Democracy.
The election next Tuesday is of
grave importance to all < leorgians
who believe in white supremacy
and the welfare of our people.
Every Georgian should feel a
deep interest in our state giving
an overwhelming majority for < 'ox
and Roosevelt and all our nomi
nees.
There are surely few white men
in Georgia who will help put the
negro, Lincoln Johnson, in su-
Vme power to say who shall fill
the posh offices, carry the rural
routes and hold all the national
offices of the state for the next four
years.
This is wlial will be thrust upon
ns if the Republicap party wins in
next Tuesday’s election.
Lincoln Johnson is the national
chairman for Georgia of the Tie
publican party and if Harding: is
elected, thiatotero. Lincoln John
' sou, \vTil control the patronage of
our/state and dish out. all the of
fices^''
No white man who will serious
ly think over the situation can for
a moment think of lining up
with such a conglomeration and
placing himself on an equal with
Lincoln. Johnson.
Southern manhood and chivalry
appeals to you to he true to the
traditions of the past, to protect
the white women of your state
from brutal attacks and perpetu
ate the safety of our homes.
J. L. SAUL CONTINUES HIS
SLAUGHTERING OF PRICES.
Mr. J. L. Saul, the Clothier, who
inaugurated a pre-war price sale
at his big store on Broad street a
week or ten days ago. has contin
ued his sale and lias cut prices ev
en deeper than before.
For instance on Saturday of this
week be is offering for Saturday
best JO cents Ginghams at Id cents
the yard. Sounds like old times,
don’t you think. He is offering an
other Item for Saturday, Oct. 30,
is A A sheeting at 14e yard. It is
our opinion that it will be a long
lime before you can buy these ar
ticles at this treinemluously low
price. Those of you who have win
ter .clothing yet to buy had better
lake advantage of this and other
grea sale bargains now on in 'Win
der, as h first cold spell that comes
rambling this way will cause ev
erybody to rush to market tor a
supply of winter clothes, ami vou
mayiaot Jr able then to buy them
as cliea*' as now.

Geo. Thompson
Writes Card to
Winder Citizens
TO THE CITIZEN’S OF WIN PER:
In view of tlie fact that there seems
to be some inisuinlerstainling on the part
of the ptibiie as to the condition of th
City’s affairs, L beg to cull your atten
tion lo the facts as shown bv the last
audit made of Ihe books, which show
that the Oitv is in far better financial
condition than it has been at any time
within the last several years.
tin warranted and unjust attacks have
been made by certain parties upon the
present administration; in behalf of my-
self, I want to say that we have not on
ly paid all of our current expenses as
they have arisen, but in addition, we
have paid off an old indebtedness of
more than $20,000 that has been hang
ing over the City for the past three ad
ministrations, a part of which was for
money borrowed !>v out predecessors to
cover a deficit in .the sinking fund, and
ihe balance was borrowed by them to
finish up the school building.
The water, sewerage and light sys
tem of the City have been extended to
bring these benefits and conveniences to
a larger number vif people. Under the
present management of the Water and
l.ight department, the City has received
a larger net income in spite of the fact
that the rates for current have been in
creased by- the Railroad Commission
and the consumer’s rate is the same as
in the past,
I also wish to call attention to the
fact that the school expense has greatly
i reased.
Reports on file at the City Hall will
show you how and where every dollar
of the City’s money has been spent. Ir
responsible talk is cheap and easy. <fof
the facts, apply your good judgment to
them, and you will endorse the splen
<lid work of the administration in your
behalf. Respect fullyy,

WE THANK YOU.
The Winder Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union wishes to ex
press its deep appreciation of the
splendid helpfulness manifested
by the city of Winder and its cit
izens during the meeting of the
State Convention of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union
which has just closed its sessions
here. Without siV.!< cooperation,
the access of the convention
would have been impossible. We
would express our thanks to the
Baptist church and its pastor for
their hospitality in opening their
church for the convention; to the
ladies of the c-it 3" who opened their
hearts an dhomes and so royally
entertained the delegates; to the
City officials who gave time and
money in preparing a welcome for
the convention; to The Barrow
Times and Winder News which
gave so generously of their space
in preparing for the coining of the
convention and reporting its pro
ceedings; to those who aided so wil
lingly and efficiently in preparing
and rendering the music that add
ed so much to the programs; to
each one who placed his or her car
at the service of guests and work
ers; to all who helped so bounti
fully in furnishing and preparing
the lunches for each day. and es
pecially to the men of Winder who
furnished the delightful barbecue;
to the officials of the Seaboard who
helped so willingly to prepare a fit
ting welcome for our guests; and
to each and every one who. in any
way. helped to make possible the
success of the convention, and who
aided in welcoming and entertain
ing these guests of our city.
We wish we could pass on to
each one the expressions of appre
ciation and pleasure that we heard
continually from our visitors. The
only disputes that we heard arose
from the fact that each guest main I
tained that SHE had the most de
lightful home and the most charm
ing and hospitable host and hos
tess in the whole town.
It is seldom that a convention of
such proportions is entertained in
a town of this size with such an
utter lack of friction or even of
have been done except by the unit
ed cooperation of the whole town;
and this is what we counted on
and have had. And we are sure
that we all agree that the coming
of these guests with their splendid
messages has done us much good.
We thank you all.

MacSwinney Is
Dead After Fast
Lasting 73 Days
WAS SERVING SENTENCE OF TWO
YEARS.—FOUND GUILTY OF
SEDITION
Terence MacSwinney, lord may
>r of Cork, Ireland, died fit Brix
ton prison, London, ;d 5:10 o’clock
Monday morning after refining to
cal for more than 73 days.
MacSwinney was 40 years old
and was one of the leading Finn
Fieners of Ireland.
He was found guilty of sedition
on August 12, and sentenced two
years imprisonment, which he was
serving in Brixton prison in Lon
don.
His refusal to eat aroused the
sympathy of the sympathetic in
different countries, who demand
ed his release from prison, most of
whom never think of the weak
minded criminals imprisoned for
years, Imt who continue to take
their regular meals.
PROFITED BY PROSPEROUS
PERIOD.
Mr. W. W. Parks, of Parks Mill
was in the city yesterday and
while here gave an interesting mat
ter of news concerning a neighbor
of his who owns no land hut. is a
renter.
The experience of this man is
worth relating and shows that the
main secret of success in this life
and the only way one can he inde-j
pendepent is lo save what lie
makes instead of spending morej
than he makes. ,
The man or the family that
spends the entire income or more
every year is never ready for a
crash like the one we are now ex
periencing.
Mr. Parks said this neighbor of
his a renter and not a land own
er realized it, was the part of wis
dom to save his earnings instead
of buying recklessly and by pur
suing this policy had SI,OOO lent
out at 8 per cent interest, had paid
cash for everything he bought
this year even to his guano' owed
nothing and had S3OO besides in
the bank.
lie will make enough corn to do
him another year, his own meat,
over 200 bushels of peas and ten
bales of cotton.
This is an object lesson that few
of ns will learn.t Suppose every
tenant and landowner bad done
like this renter. The bard times
now worrying so much would not
be felt.
BUYS FINE FARM
Mr. A. M. Benton, of our city,
bought a fine farm of over 1000
acres in (ireene county last week,
paying in the neighborhood of
$50,000.00.
Mr. Benton is a man of good
judgment and is ready to back it
when he finds a bargain. - .
