King Cotton is a cruel master quite often, and makes lii.s subjects
feel bis tyranny.
—
Most of us will be forced to economize this year and it may prove
a good lesson.
O
The year 1920 will never be forgotten by those who have passed
through it.
Plan to profit by your mistakes and do your best not to repeat them
during the present year.
O
Good resolutions are worth something if only lasting a few months,
but it is much better to make them permanent.
The man who grieves less over spilt milk generally gets along wi'li
mit it about as well as the fellow who worries over it.

They tell ns the world is growing better, and why not accept this

O
Tii lk your town, yom c mm .ty and unty, and do ynr best
through 1921 to make them what they ought to be. Begin right now
and keep it up until the last day of this year.
O
The man or woman who made someone happy durin the holidays
through which we have just passed will feel better during the pres
ent year than if this was overlooked.
The man who loves his fellowmau may often he hoodooed and im
posed upon, but when he gets ready to die lie will leel that he has a
brighter prospect f< r the other country than the fellow who cared
nothing for humanity. .. *•

BEGIN RIGHT.
The New Year lias made its advent with all of its problems con
fronting us, with its opportunities and possibilities during the
days before its close.
As to whether H shall piove a pleasant me loiy to th se who sur
vive it and a period in lite’s drama which brought prosperity and
brighter days, will depend largely on whether we adopt thrift a , our
motto and resolve to begin light, at the first of the year savin , and
continue to save until toe < 1* sing day of l!>2i.

We must accept the essential lesson of savi n g. and spendm yeai!}

Unfortunately this is a lesson the South has never yet learned, and
one V ' n s utterly ignored.
Until we recognize this truth and save our earnings, financial ca

You might as well expect a pauper who no effort to P’-ovv 1

The laws and manipulations of the big interests have done much

The Times recognizes it is not a thankful task to talk about out

It is also fullv conscious of the fact, that many of its readers wit!

THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA
ENTIRE NATION COMES TO
RELIEF OF STARVING
CHILDREN
Will Winder Do It’s Share?
We have been leading for mon
ths past about the famine condit
ions of purts of Europe, Armenia
opand China. We have been thor :
oughly satisfied that there has
never been such a frantic appeal
made nor such extensive suffer
ing, in all the world’s history.
But as yet we have done almost
nothing. The nation as a whole
has opened it’s heart so that the
American flag, in the words of
Air. Hoover, may be enshrined in
the hearts of the children of all
nations. Men of wealth have
reboots and churches have made
liberal offerings; from the orph
ans home in Decatur comes the
word that the children will forego
their Sunday supper so that they
too, may help. In the meantime,
hunger and cold are stril ing down
their victims by countless thou
sands. The suffering of hillow
eyed, pale-faced children contin
ues and increases. An American
worl er sends w* rd from overseas,
that if we are g< ing to help, “For
(Jed’s sake hurry”, for starvation
is e\ crywhere aid it’s victims can
not wait. To know of such con
ditions and not to act—can we
ever claim to he followers of
Christ again There are many
ether calls avd these can wait.
Does this appeal not tal e preced
ence of them all? No follower of
Christ ever becomes so poor that
lie cannot share a crust tv it h a
starving neighbor. And Christ
tried very hard to show that our
neighbor is the man anywhere
who is in need.
y.'inder Ims mvir yet failed to
respond to such a call as this. We
have at 1 ast formlulatcd a plan
which is the plan being followed
in other parts of the country. No
drive is to be made, but opportu
nity will he given to the man with
a heart through his lodge, his
church or his Sunday school class.
The fraternal organizations aiul
biblc classes can adopt an orphan
for S(iO.OU, and it is hoped that at
least a dozen of these may be pro
vided for in Barrow county. Any
individual, through the gift of
$lO.OO, may provide food for one
child through the winter months.
What a priceless opportunity to
invest in human lives! It has
been suggested that every man,
woman and child do without one
meal,this week and contribute this
much at least through their church
or suiulay school on the coming
Sunday. Could we do any less,
with the cry of hunger in our
ears? And yet if we would con
tribute this pittance wo could
raise over 1,000.00. Dare we do
less, and ever think of ourselves
as human, much less Christian a
gain ?
It is asked that next Sunday,
even. - Sunday school and church
in the county make an offering,
and send it at once to the treas
urer, Mr. M. C. Wiley. The smal
lest offering will help, but it
ought not to be small. Will not
someone in every church co-oper
ate with the pastor and superin
tendant in scoring that this is
done? Don’t you think that
Christ would side-track every oth
er appeal and put the relief of
hunger and the saving of life
first 0 Literature in abundance
'may be obtained from the writer,
or the treasurer. We challenge
you to read the story for yourself
ami not feel that something ought
to be done, and that Winder is
going to do it.
Barrow county does not often
fail to reach it’s quota in anything
" .-’t is worth while Is this not
o r tone when every man shall
say that for the sake of our con
science, for the sake of Christ and
little children, that we must not
fail!
