COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES COME TO
A CLOSE TUESDAY
Most Successful Term
In History of the
School
The commencement exercises of Win
der Public schools came to a close on
Tuesday night after one of the best
terms in the history of the schools.
The closing exercises were of a high
order and reflected great credit on the
faculty and pupils. Large audiences
greeted every occasion and the com
ments of the public were highly com
mendatory.
The play given by the pupils Friday
evening of last week Was thoroughly
enjoyable. The drills, plays, folk dan
ces, etc., entertained the large au
dience, and the parts taken by the boys
and girls throughout the entertain
ment showed that they hod been thor
oughly trained im every respect.
The commencement sermon was
preached Sunday morning by Rev.
t Stanley R. Grubb, minister of the Chris
tian church of this city. He delived
one of the best and most appropriate
,sermons that could have been made on
sucV'-an occasion and his large audience
was th-rv-oughly appreciative of the
lofty thoughts so splendidly delivered.
He took for his theme “Loyalty,” and
spoke of loyalty to the home, loyalty
to the state and loyalty to the nation,
loyalty to the chtr ;li and to God. The
music on this occasion was of the best,
and the large auditorium was filled with
Winder people who entered into the
spirit of the occasion with- interest and
expectancy.
On Monday morning at 10:30 occurr
ed the declamation and recitation con
tests. Every one of the speeches and
recitations reflected high credit on the
hoys and girls. Winder has just cause
to be proud of the showing made by
them on this occasion and we wish we
had space to sueak of each one indi
vidually. The following tool; part in
these contests.
Declamation—Kinch Carpenter, Gib
son House. W. C. Horton, Jr., Charles
Harris. Kinch Carpenter won first
place, Gibson House second place and
W, C. Horton, third claee.
Recitation Contest —Nannelle Starr,
first place, Vera Brookshire, second
plade, Reunette Benton, third place.
The judges decided that Kinch Car
penter deserved first place among the
boys, that Miss Nannelle Starr was en
titled to the medal among the girls.
Their friends are congratulating them
on their success.
Ou Monday evening at 8:30 o’clock
the play “An Average Man,” was put
on by the Senior class. Those who rep
, resented the various characters were
Sidney Eberhart, Elise Starr. Lila
Moore, Frankie Sparks, Edith House,
Eva Segars, Hearst Bagwell, Lagree Ja
cobs, Bertram Radforfl, Edna Appleby,
Imogene Herrin, Willie Mae Holloway,
and Ralph Hardigree.
Between the acts highly entertain
ing specialties were presented to the
audience that made decided hits. This
was one of the most enjoyable occasion
of the entire exercises, and the young
ladies and young gentlemen who took
part in the play, are to be congratulat
ed on flic excellent entertainment.
On Tuesday morning the debate was
held. The subject was, “Resolved,
That flic Text Books Should lie Fur
nished Free to the Pupils of Our
Schools.”
The affirmative was championed by
Sam Autry and Frances Hubbard,
while tiie negative was upheld by An
nie Lee McDonald and Alton Young.
All four of the debaters made splen
did arguments and it was a hard
question for the judges to decide. They
gave their decision to the affirmative.
Immediately following the debate
most interesting class exercises were
held in front of the school building in
whics planting ivy. the ivy oration and
ivy songs were indulged in, which prov
ed very interesting.

‘EARTHBOUND 4 THE
GREAT PHOTOPLAY
STRAND THURSDAY
Possibly the Greatest Picture You Will
Ever See Coming to The Strand
Tomorrow.
“No God, no sin, no future life. Noth
ing but the survival of the fittest, and
every man for himself;”
That was the creed that two inti
mate friends, Jim Rittenshaw and Dick
Desborough, subscribed to in their col
lege days. To bind themselves to it
more firmly they wrote it out in con
tract form and signed their names to
it. But when they sought to enlist an
other friend, Harvey Breck, he refus
ed, and over his signature wrote upon
the fateful page “All Tonnnyrot.” But
Dick and Jim lived by their ruthless
creed and achieved wealth and success
—all the material comforts and luxu
ries that life can offer.
Then came the day when Dick Des
borough and Jim Kittenshaw's wife,
Daisy, became enamoured of each oth
er. By the creed, Dick ignored the
claims of his own wife and his little
daugliter'upon him and Rittenshaw, too j
should have been willing to surrender
to the victor without protest. But when
Jim learned of the duplicity of his wife
and best friend his belief in the dan
gerous creed was swept away in an
overpowering desire for revenge. To
prevent Dick's elopement with his wife
Jim, armed with a pistol, sets out to
kill his friend at the club where he
knows Dick lias an appointment.
The two men meet on the broad stair
way of tin* club. Nonchalantly, Dick
walks half way up the stairway and
smiles at J inch with extended hand.
Jim’s answer is a shot that brings in
stant death and Dick’s body falls back
ward down the stall's. As it comes to
rest on the floor below the spiritual
body of the dead man becomes visible]
and tukes its place beside Jim on the]
stairs.
Dick's spirit, instead of being fre<
to move forward, finds itself earth
bound and must remain thus until hi
lias atoned for his sins and has work
ed out his problems on earth. Fron
then on the spirit of Dick tries valiant
ly to communicate with his broken
hearted wife, with Jim Kitten,sliaw
who because lie does not uush 10 in
criminate his wife, has to make a de
fense against the murder chargi
brought against him, and with Daisj
Kittenshaw, who alone can save Jin
by confessing her guilt But the work
is slow and at times almost hopeless
The list to see the spirit of Dick is
his little daughter, next Harvey Breck
becomes conscious of Dick’s presence
at the club one day and makes himsell
ridiculous in the eyes of the other mem
bers by speaking to the spirit Latei
Dick appears to Dr Roger Galloway in
the church of which he is rector. Dr.
Galloway speaks to Dick and tells him
that he must straighten out the trouble
he has caused before he can go on. By
abandoning his sinful desires Dick is
made better fitted for the task before
him and finally succeeds In Influencing
the actions of those with whom he as
ciated in life so that Daisy is moved
to make a voluntary confession before
the jury, thereby saving Jim’s life. But
Dick is still earthbound and cannot ob
tain his release until be wins the for
giveness of ills wife. Blip is the last
to see him in the spirit, but when fi
nally she does she gives him her whole
world and the last that is seen of him
hearted forgiveness and instantly Dick
is set free to progress in the spirit
is as he is walking onward toward a
new and higher goal.
The Mill School.
Owing to the illness of Miss Alice
King, the principal of the Mill school,

planned will not he held

CASH BAGGETT
WINS HOT RACE
Cash Baggett is Barrow county’s of
ficial clock winder. After the clock
was installed on the Court house dome
the question arose as to who should
keep the clock wound up. Cush Bag
gett and Albertus Harrison, Barrow's
efficient clerk of court, qualified for tile
job and it was decided to settle the
matter by a vote of the court house of
ficials. The people of Winder and Bar
row county little realized that one of
the hottest races in the history of the
city a fid county was going on in their
midst. Cash out-distanced his compet
itor to such an extent tljat Albertus
withdrew from the race and Cash was
elected unanimously as the official clock
Winder for Barrow’s court house clock.
As soon as Cash makes bond and gets
Ids commission he will begin the duties
of his office. He is stirring around this
week trying to get somebody to go on
ills bond. The job pays 2% cents per
year, payable semi-annually, and Cash
will soon become one of the bloated
bondholders of the city. We congrat
ulate our friend on tfie successful race
he ‘made.
Some ode has tried to arouse opposi
tion to Cash by stating that the clock
would run down before he could get up
to the belfry to re-wind it, but we re- j
fute any such aspersion. It is an 8-
day clock and we are sure that our 1
good friend can make the trip up and
down in four days.
