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.

Mr. Watson received 1020 and Edwards 94. Congressman Dell was given 701 votes and Barnwell 358.

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. 100 MEN WANTED • In the Young Men’s class at the Christian church next Sunday.

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.

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. Bethabara Baptist Church.

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.
