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, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, May 26, 1921 ‘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.

Mr. McDaniel had been sick about a week •Mrs. Jackson lias been at the bedside of her father for several days. Mr. Jackson and children left Wednesday afternoon for Conyers. Their numer ous friends in this city sympathize with them in their sorrow 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.
