GREAT SOUTHERN AUTO
SHOW WILL GE GENUINE
HARBINGER OF SPRING
Throughout Southland Interest is
Centered on Great Show at At
lanta Next Month.
The Great Southern Automobile
Show to be held in Atlanta, March
&tli to 12th, at the immense audi
torium, will be to the South, from
every standpoint, what the great
New York show was to the North
and East, and the Coliseum show
in Chicago was to the West.
It will be the gathering place of
the Southern dealers in motor
cars, trucks and automotive equip,
ment —an ingathering of these
progressive and undaunted mer
chants who have been a real fac
tor in the upbuilding of their in
dividual communities, and col
lectively of all the South.
More than that, it will be the
center of interest to many thou
sands in the Soutllern states who
are at present owners and opera
tors of gasoline-propelled vehicles,
and who are interested in the
many needful articles of equip
ment for automobiles.
The visitors at the show are prom
ised a genuine surprise in the uni
que, and elaborate decorations
planned for the interior of the
auditorium. An entirely new dec
orative scheme will greatly en
chance the beauty of the individ
ual displays has been developed.
At tremendous expense the man
agement has secured for the
period of the show the celebrated
Kilties band. This is the one musi.
cal organization about which all
Canadians boast. It has won dur
ing the past several years an inter
national reputation, and the daily
program of the Kilties is sure to
prove an added attraction to show
visitors.
“We are pleased to announce”
says Mr. Potts, of the Winder Mo
bile Cos., local dealers for BOCK
“that a full line of Buick models
will be on display. We feel con
fident that the Great Southern
Automobile Show will be the fore
runner of an increasing motor car
demand.
ORCHESTRA MEEETING
The members of the Loyal
Guard’s orchestra will meet this
evening at 8 o’clock with Mr. and
Mrs. Claud Mavne at their home
on Broad street.
THE BARROW TIMES
WINDER'S POSIBILITIES
FOR THE FUTURE
The present financial crisis has
affected all towns and all sections.
It has retarted growth and pros
perity and done many hurtful
things to our country at large.
These are facts we cannot deny
and which we cannot hide or con
ceal.
Such periods have come in all
ages and will continue to make
these periodical visits and catch
us unprepared.
We are, after all, weak creatures
and in a short while after a catas
trophe go back into the same old
ruts and forget our mistakes, our
trials and troubles.
Even the old man of 70 years
grieves and mourns over the death
of his devoted wife and companion
and vows he cannot survive the
shock, but in a few months he is
as sprightly as a young man and
is anxious to marry the 18 year old
girl his baby boy is courting. He
forgets his age and his rheumatic
pains and can walk with the erect
ness of a military chieftain.
We soon forget the past and go
to planing for the future.
The same is true of towns and
cities. In a short while we will
go to planing for a greater Win
der and things will again begin to
hum.
The posibilities for Winder are
yet untold. It is just now in its
infancy, and this little setback
will only impede its growth and
prosperity for a short while.
Don’t get it into your head that
Winder is grown. It is just be
ginning to grow' and you will be
astounded ten years from today
when you wake up and And her
population has doubled.
The posibilities for the future of
Winder ought to make you feel
proud that you are one of its citi
zens, and this should arouse you
to a sense of your responsibilities
and help you to do your part in
its development.
WARNING TO AUTOMOBILE
OWNERS AND OPERATORS
On and after March the first is
postively the last day you can
operate your car without a 1921
state automobile license. Those
not having license will please not
run your car until you can secure
one, as T will have to arrest any
one violating this law,. H. O.
CAMP, Sheriff.

BIG FIRE AT
LEXINGTON, GA

fire last Saturday night destroy
ing one block of business property

$200,000.00 or more.

Oglethorpe county and one of the
old and wealthy places of this
part of Georgia. The origin of
the fire is unknown.

LARIED

Christian church of this city, con

and part of the money taken.
It was found this week hidden
under the steps in the basement of
the church with sl3 and some odd
cents still in it. It was found by
Messrs Nally and H. E. Millikin
Monday morning.
It contained about $25.00 and it
must have been hidden to draw on
as needed . The proceeds for the
past eleven months were in it and
the strange thing about it is the
one bursting it open did not take
out the entire amount at once.
Church money used to be held
sacred but now robbers take it
wherever found.

Mr. W. C. Horton has been the
prime mover in getting this bank

FARMERS PLAN FIGHT ON
FERTILIZER PRICE
National Board to Negotiate Di
rectly With Fertilizer
Companies.
By James A. Holloman
Washington, February 17, — Spe
cial.—Plans which may lead to
important reductions in the price
of fertilizers were set in motion at
the closing session of the national
board of farm organizations today.
Directors of the board who repre
sent the combined purchasing
power of thousands of farmers in
many of the principal states using
large quanities of the product,
agree that direct negotiations
should he made with the fertilizer
companies, which are said to be
selling at terms regarded exces
sive by farmers.
The national board of farm or
ganizations calls attention to the
fact that the United States depart
ment of agriculture has jurisdic
tion over the sale of fertilizer ow
ing to war-time powers. The
board has knowledge of the fact
that the department of agriculture
has been considering the recom
mendation or enforcement of dras
tic reduction in the price of ferti
lizer. Certain price reductions
have already been made or are
in sight as the result of depart
mental hearings with the ferti
lizer companies.
Claim Information.
The national board of farm or
ganizations, it was said today, be
lieves it has information which
conclusively proves that price re
ductions are greatly out of line
with the costs of manufacture.
“Several of the fertilizer com
panies either own directly or con
trol through subsidary and inter
locking companies phosphate
mines, according to my under
standing,’’said O. A. Thomas, busi
ness agent for the Virginia Far
mers’ union, who is attending the
meeting of the board. “These
fertilizer folks have entered what
I consider an invalid claim to the
right to charge prevailing prices
on the ground that the cost of rock
phosphate has greatly increased,
but some of these same companies
are in reality owners of the phos
phate in question.” said Mr.
Thomas.
Dr. E. H. Stock bridge, of the
Farmers’ National congress, and
former editor of the Southern
Ruralist of Atlanta, is chairman of
the fertilizer committee which will
immediately arrange for a confer
ence between fertilizer companies
and the farmers.
Specific action by the national
board of farm organizations with
reference to securing an early vote
on the C'apper-V olstead bill to
.clarify the status of collective
marketing, has not yet been an
nounced. The board has held ex
ecutive sessions throughout its
meeting this week. Indignation
was expressed, however, by mem
bers of the board at the delay to
bring these measures to an im
mediate, final decision.
“If a filibuster is ever justifi
able now is the time.” said ( har
les S. Barrett, chairman of the
board and president of National
Farmers’ union. “lam inclined to
think that some staunch friend of
agriculture who realizes the fair
ness and importance of these
measures to both producers and
consumers throughout the coun
try, might well undertake to lead
a fight to hold up some pending
legislation dear to the hearts ot
the capitalists of this nation,
cspccilly in one or two cases where
such proposed legislation may be
of doubtful propriety.”
