LAST ISSUE OF BARROW
TIMES
With this issue I retire from the
control and management of the
Harrow Times, having sold the en
tire plant to Mr. J. W. McWhor
ter, of the Winder News.
This change will be better for
\\ inder and Harrow county as one
paper, with the financial condi
tions confronting the country, can
give better service than two com
petitive papers.
My success with The Barrow
Times has been all 1 could have
asked; it has prospered and con
tinued to grow in favor with the
people, and the sale to The News
was made purely from business
reasons and a desire for a little
rest and quietude.
Mr. McWhorter is an
cd newspaper man and by merging
The Times and News will he fully
equipped for giving the people of
Barrow county one of the best
weeklies in the state.
He will conduct his paper on the
high plane of fairness and impar
tiality to all classes and factions,
in the interest of this section and
with the deermination to merit the
support and good will of eveyone.
1 have edited and managed The
Times for the past three years and
parting with it naturally brings
deep regret and sadness.
1 indulge the hope that in its
weekly visits during these three
years there has been something in
its columns worth remembering,
something that has cheered and
benefited many of its readers and
strengthened the bonds of friend
ship between you and me.
.Messrs. Lawrence and Foster,
our two splendid young men in the
office and A. T. McElroy, our
bright young boy, just starting,
are all three the finest types of
young manhood, and it pains us
more than words can express, to
sever our connection with them.
May they all live long and prosper
is our sincere wish. We will miss
their efficient service and pleasant
associations and will often think
of them in the years to come.
I feel truly grateful to those
warm personal friends who have
so generously supported and en
couraged me since assuming
charge of the paper, and now in
bidding you good-bye, it is my
fondest hope that the dark period
of gloom and financial distress
which has been hovering over you
for several months may soon have
passed away and that the future
will bring brighter and happier
days to all of you.
Sincerely yours,
ALBERT G. LAAIAR
WHEN I’M GONE YOU’LL
SOON POEGET ME
I
No one save those void of sen
timent and high and lofty aspira
tions wishes to be forgotten.
Deep down in the hearts of mep
who rise above the brute creation
there is a desire and an earnest
longing to be remembered.
In reviewing life’s journey as the
years so >uif?ly fly and ti e time
draws nearer-for ;he soul’s final
exit, one among the sadost
of all th< ug' ‘s to the mail or wo
man .. I • ]‘.:s : rie< 1 *o do something
for Ihe 'ii inent . ' others and
made sacrifices to benefit and
brighten the lives of those with
whom they lived and labored is
the thought that when I’m gone
you’ll soon forget me.
It is the irony of fate, however,
to know that this is generally true
and that whatever hottest efforts
one lias made a human life is soon
forgotten.
Lite’s a funny proposiion, with
some roses and many thorns;
The roses often hidden by fail
ing to work them in the early
morns.

SUBSCRIGERS
The Winder New's will fill out
the subscriptions to the Barrow
Times that are still to run and
those who are due any amounts
will settle the same with the News.
This arrangement has been
agreed to by both papers.
We trust that our subscribers
who are not taking the news will
give it their hearty support and
help increase its eirculation.
THE RAILROAD SITUATION
High freight rates are killing
business,and low freight rates, un.
der present conditions, would kill
the railroads. Nominally, the
railroads have been returned to
private control, but, as a matter of
fact, they are not being operated
by their owners, except in name.
They are still under the complete
domination of the railroad unions,
installed in this position by the
Government. From beginning to
end Government management of
railroads was rotten to the core.
The Government permitted the es
tablishment of a system by which
the employees practically dictate
the management of the roads.
Every farmer, merchant and
manufacturer who sees the effect
of the high freight rates which
now must be paid should realize
that lie is personally responsible
for this crime against business to
the extent that 119 permitted the
Government to turn the railroads
over to the railroad employees.
Officers of railroads have little or
no control over their management.
They are not real managers. They
are merely the puppets played
upon by railroad employees. So
long as the employees can, under
Government direction, absolutely
dominate the management of rail
roads, lower freight and passenger
rates are an impossibility.
Railroads, loaded as they are
with Government extravagance
and Government ineffeciency and
Government permission to rail
road unions to run every detail of
the railroad business, are headed
down the road to ruin, unless a
change takes place.
The ruinat’on of the railroads
would only intensify the inade
quacy of transportation facilities.
if railroads should be turned
back to Government control, con
ditions would be ten times worse.
We would simply have the mis
takes and the inefficiency and
higher rates intensified. Every
well-wisher of the country, every
man who ships u pound of freight,
every man whose business is ham
pered by railroad impoverishment
and railroad inefficiency, may
well pray to be delivered from
Government ownership or Govern
ment control, or the control of
railroad brotherhoods.
Without a repeal of the Adam
son Law, and ull other unwise
legislation which takes the control
of railroads out of the hands of
their owners and puts it into the
hands of incompetent and radical
railroad-union men, a more and
more desprate transportation con
dition is inevitagle.
Until the country comes to a full
realization of this situation and
• arcs a repeal uf the unwise rail
! road legislation, put through by a
1 soi-ialistic administration, domi
i naled by rank, radical labor
unions, we can have no safety for
business of any kind- .Manufact

FINANCIERS MORE OPTIMIS
TIC.
The financiers of the great
money centers are more optimis
tic and predict better times.
The fact staring the South in
the face is that a better price for
cotton is the only panacea that
will relieve our financial., con
dition.
Cotton is our only money crop
and unless the amount held by the
farmers brings more than 20 cents
per pound there is little hope for
relief or for better conditions
among us of the South.
