VOLUME 7 NO. 7. REV. JNO. H. WOOD CALLED TO ROME Rev. John U. Wood has accepted the qall of the Christian church at Rome, Georgia, and will begin his ministerial work there the first of March. It will be a source of much re gret to thousands of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wood to lose them from this section of Georgia. Few men have done more than he in his Master’s cause and for the betterment of Humanity in Wneral. The Times feels that few men will be missed more in Winder and surronding country than he. His life has been one of work of service and of sacrifice for others and he is universally loved and respected. We wish for him and Mrs. Wood a pleasant and successful sojourn in Rome and that their days on earth may be long and their last years the brightest and the hap piest. 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.

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.” —Atlanta Constitution. $1.50 IN ADVANCE FIRST BAPTIST TO HAVE REVIVAL We, pastor and members of the First Baptist church, are making extensive preparation for the an nual revival services the last week in April and the first week in May.
