Effort Will
Be Made To
Save Bell Cos.
Misleading reports and state
ments have gone out that the Bell
< tverall Manufacturing Company
is hopelessly involved and that the
shareholders would lose all their
stock.
It is believed by the friends and
by the business men connected
with this big plant that it can be
saved and the stock be worth par
if greed and selfishness can he re
strained and time given to work
oat the problems confronting it.
To accomplish this end it needs
the sympathy and cooperation of
our home people and all of the
creditors.
It needs the elimination of all
backbiting, double dealing, jeal
ousy, the desire to gobble it up for
l song and that unfortunate weak
ness in the hearts of men to keep
pushing an unfortunate man or
enterprise down the bill instead of
doing everything to pull him
ihe enterprise up.
Mr. W. C. Horton, who was pres
ident of this great enterprise, made
it such a Wonderful success and
the pride of Barrow county, did
all in his power to stem the tide
when the terrible financial crash
spread over our country with such
volcanic force.
He sacrificed his private and
personal resources trying to cover
Ihe losses the Bell sustained by
cancelled order and decline in val
ues brought on by causes over
which he nor those associated with
him were responsible.
Mr. Horton is a man who has
done much for the business and in
dustrial development of Winder
and of this section, has come to
l he rescue of men when they need
ed financial aid and saved them
from the wreckers.
ITo deserves at this time less
criticism and instead the sincere
sympathy and cooperation of
of friend and foe that he may suc
ceed in putting his enterprises on
a safe footing again and save
those interested with him in these
institutions.
This is the broad and magnani
mous view to take and one which
should actuate the motives and con
duct of all our people and those
affected away from Winder.
MR. J. W. CARRINGTON OPENS
NEW MARKET.
Mr. *T. W. Carrington has opened
a now market in the rear end of
the J. C. Ray & Cos. store and will
lie well prepared to furnish fresh
pieats of all kinds to the public.
Mr. Carrington is one of the old
est meat market men in Winder
when it comes to the number of
years’ service here in this partic
ular line, and as all our people
know bin) it is useless to say more
concerning him and his ability
.and readiness to place his custom
ers.

Big Final Receivers Sale Begins
Today and These Prices Are
Guaranteed For at Least
Fifteen Days
In this issue of The Times the J.
L. Saul Store carries four pages of
advertising—4Bo inches or 6,720
agate lines, in launching his big
sale which begun today. Jhikis,
decidedly the largest advertising
space ever sold before to a Win
der merchant for one issue.
In launching this big sale Mr. Saul
stated that when a merchant put
up the money for this big advertis
ing campaign that it was an assur
ed fact that lie had the stock of
goods to back it up, J. L. Saul has
the goods and the prices speak for
themselves.
On Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of this week at nine o'clock
there will be special bargains, for
instance best dress ginghams will
be sold at nine cents per yard.
Mr. Saul says that his-stock .of
goods is now priced at the very
lowest and if cotton should go to
10 cents a pound no merchant
could sell goods cheaper.
Omit preparations have been
made for this great sale. The stock
of goods is being remarked, new
salespeople employed and a great
throng of buyers are expected to
participate in this selling event
possibly never before equalled in
the history of Winder. It is the
intention of the promoters of this
great sale to move $20,000 worth
of stock in the next fifteen days,
and hence the low prices. The trad
ing public is very careful of how
it spends the little money that is
available and wants the most for
a dollar possible. .
Think of men’s and boys’ cloth
ing at one-half off; underwear at
about one-half off; while women’s
suits, cloaks and dresses will aver
age about the same reduction. Al
so there are about five hundred la
dies hats worth $lO and up to go
at $2.95 each.
The worst weather of 'the win

must buy sparingly and make ev
ery penny do its its duty, yet we
must have a few things in the way
of warm clothing in order to pro
tect health and promote happiness
and we should buy it where the lit
tle money we have will go farthest.
It is true that when a merchant

Mr. Mincey was one of the spien
did citizens of parrow county un
til buying a nice farm on the out -
skirts of the above named city and
moving there first of the present
year.
lie came to this county several
.years ago from Lumpkin and rent
led land. By using good judgment
| and working hard and practicing
I economy in all things he was able
!to buy h farm and pay for it.
His opportunities were no bet
ter than hundreds of other men
who still own no land, but he had
a vision arid determination to
succeed and own a farm.
He sold his farm here Inst fall
at a profit and iMiught the desira
ble one on which he now lives. He
is out of debt, and continue* to
prosper. So many good men could

Big Contest
The Loyal Guards Sunday school
( elas* of the .Winder ChvistiaiE
in many respects is the most won
derful class of young men to be
found in any city the size of Win
der in the state of Georia.
This class, whose normal mem
bership is 85 young men, has ac
eoOplished great good during the
past and every succeeding year ex
tends its field of usefulness and
does more things worth whil and
the good of others.
They are supporting two chil
dren—a little girl and little boy—
in the Southeastern Christian Or
phanage of Atlanta and have con
tributed liberally to missions and
other activities of the church.
A more liberal and congenial
body of young men would be diffi
cult to find, and their weekly con
tributions have enabled them to
always have a creditable surplus
in their treasury to meet every
emergency and the demands of
charity.
Mrs. W. O. Perry, who organiz
ed this fine band of young men
fourteen years ago, and who dur
ing all these years has been thei
rteacher, is devotedly attached to
jtheO and feels it is the greatest
'class and the finest set of young
Sunday school men in all the world
Her whole heart and soul are in
this work, which to her has been,
one of love and service aflad for the
abe has hoped to accomplish,
and she feels a just pride in know
ing her efforts have not been in
vain, that they have been appre
ciated by these young men, and
that many of them who have gone
from Winder during the years
gone by have succeeded and made
useful men and church workers
where they have located.
On Sunday, November 21, this
class closed a contest which last
ed through eight weeks, and on
that day 155 young Oen were pres
ent.
They were divided into Reds and
Whites, the class colors, with Guy
.Jackson, Captain of the Rods, and
Ralph Smith, Captain of Whites.
The Reds won out by a small mar
gin and were given an oyster sup
per by the Whites last Monday ev
ening in the basement of church,
|at which there were 200 to eiijoy
1 his pleasant occasion. All the
ministers of the city attended this
supper and it Was an event that
will long he remembered.
W. C. Ross, President ; I. B.
Jackson and N. F. Maffett, Vice
Presidents; W. L. Mayne, Secreta
ry and treasurer and Brady Hill,
assistant, and all of the other Com
bers of this marvelous class de
serve much praise and commenda
tion for their wonderful work
and achievements which will tel?
in the ages yet to come.
j It is a pleasure to The Times to
give the above brief account of
jwliat these'young men have done
and are doing and to further say
to them that young Oen who take
a deep interest in Sunday school
work are always bettered. It gives
them higher and purer ideals and
aspirations and they are helping
to elevate citizenship, improve the
moral and spiritual lives of one
another, which is the only life
worth while and the only one bring
ing real success and genuine hap
piness.
