EANDSLIDE FOR
G. 0. P. OVER U. S.
SENATOR WARREN G. HARDING HAS PROBABLE CARRIED
THIRTY-FOUR STATES.—TENNESSEE, A SOUTHERN
STATE IN REPUBLICAN COLUMN.—CHAMP CLARK
DEMOCRAT, DEFEATED FOR CONGRESS
THE SOUTH STOOD TRUE TO ITS
TRADITIONS AND TO THE PARTY
THAT SAVED IT IN THE DAYS OF
RECONSTRUCTION.
The National election last Tues
day was a landslide for the Repub
lican party and great disappoint
ment to those who believe in De
mocracy.
The Republicans not only elect
ed their presidential ticket but will
have a lnajorityy in both houses of
congress.
The South stood true to its tra
ditions and to the party that sav
ed it in the dayys of reconstruction
Georgia went overwhelmingly deni
oeratio and elected all of its deiti
ocratic nominees for congress.
o ai •row county gave Cox 731
voVes and Harding 412.
Mr. Watson received 1020 and
Edwards 94.
Congressman Dell was given 701
votes and Barnwell 358.
All- of the county ticket includ
ing the state senator and represen
tative received approximately the
full vote cast in the county which
was about 1175 votes.
It is hoped by every one that
things will now settle down, that
business will react and the world
keep revolving and that all of us
will soon be feeling better.
'CHAMP CLARK DEFEATED
FOR CONGRESS IN MISSOURI.
One of the disappointing re
sults of Tuesday’s election to all
loyal democrats and admirers of
great men is the news that Champ
Clark, of Missouri, has been de
feated for congress.
Former speaker of the house of
representatives and one of democ
racy's heroes and veterans, it
seems hard that fate should decree
he could not serve his district the
remainder of his days. And to
•%£{ further fuel to the lire the re
publicans have elected one con
gressman from Texas and looks
like they have carried Oklahoma.
TAYLOR, REPUBLICAN. WINS
GOVERNORSHIP OF TENN.
Alt' Taylor, of Tennessee, won
the governorship last Tuesday ov
er his democratic opponent.
The contest in 1886 for the gov
ernorship of Tennessee, known as
the “war of the roses” is still re
membered by many.
This raee was between the two
brothers —Bob Taylor, democrat,
and Alf Taylor, republican. It
was one of the famous campaigns
in which the democratic brother
won.
Alt* Taylor was again nominated
liy the republicans this year, af
ter a political retirement of 25
25 years, and was elected last Tues
day by a majority surprising to
every one.
He is 72 years old but made an
active campaign. Hardin also car
ried Tennessee, thus breaking the
solid south.
The Annual Conference will be
.gin November 16, 1920, and will
be held at the Wesleyan Methodist
church, Atlanta. K very body invit
ed to attend.
THE BARROW TIMES
SWEET POTATO CROP FINE.
Johnny Edgar' son of Mr. J. C.
Edgar, of Town district, brought
to The Times office this week a
potato weighing 7Vi* pounds ami
measuring around it two feet and
two inches.
Johnny knows how to raise big
potatoes as evidenced by the one
brought its and if he does as well
in all other crops he will make a
great farmer when lie becomes a
man.
The potato crop of this countyy
is unusually fine this year.
Mr. J. M. Jackson grew one 27
incites long and Mr. John T. Der
ry one weighing nine pounds.
This is a profitable crop and the
greatest trouble lias always been
keeping it through the winter.
Potatoes always bring a much bet
ter price after Christmas or dur
ing the latter part of the winter
and early spring and the farmer
who lias them for sale at that time
can get the cash for them.

The paving of Broad street front
the Seaboard depot to the Gaines
ville Midland depot has at last
finished and now the contractors
will begin on Candler street.
There have been many draw
backs to this work, causing much
delay. The weather has been un
usually favorable all the fall and
we had all hoped every business
street would have been completed
before the cold and bad weather
set in.
The contractors have done the
best they could under the circum
stances but it now looks as if all
the work cannot he finished this
year.
Card of Thanks.
The ladies of the Missionary So
ciety of this city, wish to thank
the people of Winder who have re
sponded so generously to the ap
peal made for the Polish sufferers.

TATTLERS.
(By W. 11. Faust.)
Not long since one of the best
friends 1 have in Barrow county
asked me to write an article on
tattling—so here goes—
Text : “He that goeth about as
a talebearer revealeth secrets; but
lie that is of a faithful spirit con
cealed) the motto.”
The tongue is one of the finest
and host of the members of the hu
man hotly. Parodoxieal as it may
seem —the tongue is one of the
j worst of the functioning members
(of the human body. With it we
bless and curse, praise and censure
abuse and command.
It. is like a fire, its words cut,
! 1 >ite, burn like acid; also they
sooth, lull, comfort like magic,
i “They say ”in a company of irre
sponsibles, organized by the devil
and propagated and controlled
from the infernal regions.
If it was a law to quarantine
against folks who are suffering
with this running off at the mouth
fewer reputations would be wreck
cd and marred.
If all the folks who had never
said a mean thing about a neigh
bor were to receive an automobile
the prices would still be low .
The man or woman who tattles is
cowardly and would put a rock in
front of a blind man or stop on the
street corner and curse out a (leaf
man.
Nothing should ever be repeated
until these acid test questions are
put:
1. Is it true?
2. Will it help to repeal it?
3. Will it help me to tell it?
The whisperer is a dangerous
character. He who insidiously
whispers to you secretively, like
the adder would dip his fangs into
your life blood. Never under any
circumstances tattle and backbite,
and hurt the reputation of others.
Finally, let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and clamor, and
railing, be put away from you,
with all malice, and be ye kind to
one another.

Bagwell's Majority for Mayor
Over Thompson Was 48
Votes.
We had our state and na
tional election Tuesday and then
the biggest of all elections for
Winder on Wednesday.
This was the biggest election
Winder had ever had from the fact
of it being the largest registration
of voters —nearly 1000.
It was the biggest election we
bad ever had because the women
vr>..„d.
It was a novel sight to us men
because we bad never seen women
marching up to the polls in droves
and voting before.
The election, however, was very
quiet and no feeling engendered.
The result of the election fol
lows :
For Mayvor—
G. N. Bagwell 388
George Thompson 340
For Councilman at Large—
A. S. Morgan 43!)
Clem Royal 287
For Councilman. 2d Ward—
J. T. Strange 402
S. C. Kinney 207
For Councilman 4th Ward
W. E. Autry 70!)
Mr. Autry had ho opposition.
730 votes were cast.
All of the candidates were good
men but all could not be elected.
Now that it is over, we must all
pull together, forget this friendly
contest and every voter stand by
the result and \jork for the best
interest of Winder.
The present administration has
done big things for our city and
deserves the thanks and apprecia
tion of the citizens. The new ad
ministration, which will go in with
the new year, will have the same
purposes in view and Winder will
continue to grow and develop.
