THE G. M. RAILWAY
MUST BE RECLAIMED
Mr. B. B. Cheek, Traffic Manager of
The is Optimistic as to
v the Situation
y r 4
Mr. B. B. Cheek. Traffic Manager of
the Gainesville Midland railroad, is op
timistic in lis antcpation of improve
ment in the serious situation facing the
road at this time. He says we cannot
and must not and will not fail, having
utmost confidence in the ability and wil
lingness of tin) employees, together
with the full co-operation of the pat
rons all along the line to immediately
bring about a decisive change in the
situation.
There has been, as you must know,
a sort of luke-warm feeling with both
employees and patrons as to condi
tions, which the Receivership has dis
pelled. In other words, we have been
awakened to the true state of affairs,
and the possibility of not being able to
continue operation, which enables us
all to see and work together in such a
way as the best possible results must
develop.
He states that there isn’t- asy ques
tion but that the situation is serious,
and that operation may be discontinu
ed if the employees do not shoulder
their part of the burden, and the pat
rons do not stand by the road, and give
thMr full support. He is not inclined
on the dark side of the situa
tion, and feels that every man with
the road feels the same way, and that
the situation will he worked out. He
anticipates that a very strong effort
will be made to show Mr. Baldwin and
the management that recent conditions
can be overcome, and that the patrons
of the road interested all along the
line, taking very special pains to see
that- traffic is specifically routed and
requests respected, will be done.
He is very gratified at the interest
already manifested along the road, and
believes it will develop into a real ben
efit, as a realization of the possibility
to discontinue the road would be a
tremendous drawback and misfortune
to this entire section. Every effort,
he states, is going to be made to pre
vent this.

AND THE BARROW TIMES
LAUGH, LAUGH AND
THEN LAUGH AGAIN
A Burlesque Entertiaiunent at School
Auditorium Tonight, Benefit of
Winder Baseball Club.
At the school auditorium tonight
(Thursday) will be given the amusing
and laughable entertainment that haw
never been given in this city. Thirty
of Winder’s business men and women
take part. Truly this is one of the
most entertaining plays ever put on the
stage. It is called a “scream.”
You just ought to see Joe Parham
and Jule Wilson as bawling, squalling,
crying babies, fighting and scrapping
over their nursing bottles.
Judge Johns as the deceased Mr. Par
ley, Mr. C. O. Niblack as the groom who
rolls his bride, Mrs. Reba Vonderleith,
in a primitive carriage—the wheelbar
row. are laughable in the extreme.
We haven’t room in this article to
mention (every! character —there are
thirty of Winder's men and women in
the play—and you just can’t afford to
miss it.
The play is given for the benefit of
Winder's baseball club and is being
coached by Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Atlan
ta, which is a guarantee of its success.
Admission, adults 55 cents, school
children, 28 cents.
Southeastern Christian
College.
DRAMATIC 'CLUB.
“Tony, the Convict,” to be given at
Southeasters Christian College by the
Dramatic Club Friday evening, March
4, promises to be one of the best
plays ever presented by students of S.
C. C. The public will remember the
high standard set by former plays giv
en by tile students. Most of the actors
in “Tony, The Convict" have appear
ed upon the stage at S. C. C before
and will be recognized by those who
have attended former entertainments.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend “Tony, the Convict.” Admission
will be 35c and 25c.
The sensational escape of the con
vict hi the first act is well acted by Mr.
Snipes. “Tony” is a strong, many
sided character. The villian, James
Barclay, is played by Mr. Wade Gar
rett.
The second act contains comedy, in
troduced by two tramps, and discloses
a secret which enables the vindictive
Mr. Barclay to lay plans to wifi Lena,
the lovely daughter of Judge Van
Cruger. “Lena" is a very emotional
part, well acted by Miss Ruby Bridges,
“The Judge” is played by Mr. T. O.
Slaughter, with Mrs. Rollin Garrett as
“Mrs. Van Cruger.” Professor Rollin
McPherson has the part of Irena's lov
er. Phil.
More comedy is furnished by ser
vants and the old-maid in the third
act. Prof, and Mrs. J. L. Allgood and
Miss Helen Blanton get in some good
acting here. But this act also has a
good deal of pathos. The plans of
Barclay begin to fork out, the lovers
are separated, and Lena torn awa.v
from her home and parents.
“Lena’s” best scene, perhaps is in
the fourth act. Her father’s humble
home is in sharp contrast to the lux
urious one she has been brought away
from. The villian meets a master and
a fathei* saves his child.
“Barclay” plays his highest card in
the fifth act, 'and Lena resolves to sar
rifice herself for the Judge. This is
prevented by the return of the con
vict and the detective. Barclay is ar
rested, and Tony, the convict, comes
into his own.

COMMERCE HIGH

meet in the last and one of the best
games of the season.
The attendance at this game ought
to be very large. This is a good time
for our home people to show their in

support the athletics of our school.
The ministers of the town and the
Board of Education could well afford
to give endorsement to this sport by
their presence.
Let all the “sports” who went wild
over the baseball games last summer
come out and help the home folks
Then we had an imported team and we
could yell ourselvets hoarse for them.
Let’s be consistent now and help the
home folks a little.
Be at the game at three-thirty, Fri
day.

POTATO CURING
PLANTJOR CITY
Mr. G. W. Summerour is Arranging to
Build Large Sweet Potato Curing
House for Minder.
The News is glad to state that Win
der is to have another enterprise that
will mean much to this city and sur
rounding section. Mr. G. W. Stimmer
our has definitely decided to build a
large sweet potato curing plant in this
city and to have it ready by the time
this year’s crop is harvested. He will
be in shape to either buy all the sweet
potatoes that ure brought to this mar
ket or store them for those growers
who wish to hold. Sweet potatoes are
easily grown in the Winder territory
and they are a very profitable crop if
they can be kept and marketed along
through the year.
Mr. Summerour has a carload of
sweet potatoes on hand now that he pro
poses to sell to any who may want to
plant. He will also bed about 4(H)
bushels to supply plants to those who
do not buy the seed and bed for them
selves.
The Porto Rico variety is the only
kind that the market demands and
those who grow potatoes should plant
this variety.
We are confident that Mr. Summerour
will find his venture a profitable one
and that the farmers will also profit
by his building the curing house.
Men’s Club Have Inter
esting Meeting Monday
The second monthly meeting of the
Methodist Men’s club was held Tues
day night at the home of Mr. J. M. Ai
ken, with a large attendance. Reports
were mude by the various committees
and remarkable progress was reported
in all the undertakings of the church.
The club has undertaken the publicity
work for the night services of the
church and has brought together great
congregations during the lust few
months. The Monday school attendance
has been doubled in one month, nojt
only in the adult department but in all
grades. But the greatest success has
been registered in the new spirit of en
thusiasm that is in evidence hiu! that
permeates the entire congregation. Ev
ery church activity has felt its influ
ence and the results have abundantly
justified the existence of this new
men's organization.
I’lans for the future include a drlve
for the enlistment of every man in
Barrow county who is not attending
Sunday school und the forming of a
new Junior Baraca class for young
men from the ages of 17 to 20. Plans
were also made for the securing of an
athletic field for the summer outdoor
activities of the men and boys of the
church. The building committee and
minute men also made encouraging re
ports.
The spirit of the gathering was that
only a beginning had l>een made in the
work of enlisting the men of the city
in church and Sunday school activities,
and that the prevailing spirit of en
thusiasm would largely increase the
work that had already been done. The
pastor, who was present, made the en
couraging statement that he had never
known u church where so large a pro
portion of the membership were at work
in helping build up the church, as in
tint Winder Methodist congregation,
at present. The choir, the club orches
tra, and publicity committee, are plan
ning for a permanent program of great
Sunday night services with special fea
tures, that will be profitable und inter
esting to the whole community. Also
a campaign of personal evangelism is
being inaugurated to culminate on
Easter Sunday. The ultimate aim for
Sunday school attendance is 500, which
is tiie membership of the church.
At the close? of the business Session
which was conducted by the president
Mr. Paul Brooksher, the club adjourn
ed to meet in social session. Mrs. J.
M. Aiken, the hostess, was assisted by
the wives of the social committee in
serving elaborate refreshments.
The secretary, Mr. A. T. Harrison,
announced tliat a large number of new
members had been added during the
evening. All Methodist men and men
of Methodist inclination, 18 years t
age and over, ar e eligible for memix
