THE BARROW TIMES | WINDER, GEORIA A. G. LAMAR Editor SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES Ono Copy One Year $1.50 One Copy Six Months 75 Entered as Sccon Class matter at the postoffice at Winder, Georgia, under the Act of Congress March 3 1079. 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. 0 TO BARROW TIMES 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 urers Record. 0 Cuba appears to have unusual charms for Florida tourists. O C When prosperity hits this coun try again wont we nil feel good ? TTTE BARROW TIMES. WINDER. GEORGIA. Judge Kennesaw Mountain Lan dis, of Chicago, is getting himself in bad disrepute with some of the congressmen and senators at Washington. 011 account of his name these gentlemen should ex ercise a little forbearance. U The ankle watch adds very much to the attraction of young ladies, especially is this true when they are on the streets and stop at every corner to get the time. 0 The Germans are not so anxious for reparations since it falls on them instead of the other nations. How f different it would have been with them had they been the vic tors. High rents and high taxes are two of the great evils afflicting the country at the present time. 0 Sugar, coffee and baking pow ders are getting cheaper, but say! my friend, what is the matter with flour? We will have to eat more corn dodgers and'less biscuit. O Every man believes in free speech until lie becomes a dictator and then he comes to the conclu sion that this right should be dele gated to him and no one else. 0 The editorial on this page from the Manufacturer’s Record, of Baltimore, relative to the railroad situation is interesting reading and worth perusing . Don’t for get to read it before throwing down your paper. 0 —— 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. 0 Georgia faces a treasury short age of approximately $2,000,000. The state seems to he in as bad a plight as the average individual. O If Hoover should he placed in the cabinet, Hiram Johnson will feel like he has been slapped in the face by Harding. O They say that down in Florida the fruits and vegetables are rot ting in the-orchards and fields be cause of the excessive freight charges making shipments pro hibitive.
