THE. STRAND THEATFB PROGRAM THURSDAY AND FRIDAY JUNE 30 and JULY I.—BUSTER KEATON, in “THE SAPHEAD” SATURDAY, JULY 2.—White Horse man. Diamond Queen. Comedy. VOL. XXVIII. TILLMAN REVIVAL CLOSED SUNDAY A GREAT MEETING Every Seat Taken in the Large School Audito rium Last Service With a crowd that packed every inch of space in the commodious school aud itorium the Tillman meeting came to a close last Sunday night. For the last week the night services were attended hy the greatest crowds that ever at tended religious services in Winder- Brother Tillman's wonderful singing, which always delights his audiences, was augmented by each night in in creasing n timbers. His picturesque presentation of the gospel with its de lightful pathos and humor was calcu lated to go straight to the hearts of his hearers. Young and old gave him their undivided attention and their response to his appeals was at times perfectly amazing. There was no time lost in the discussion of controverted subjects, but every moment was given to the preaching of a practical gospel for dai ly living. That hundreds were helped was the testimony of all his hearers. The pastor of the church made the as sertion that Winder will never be the same again, as the scores of those who have determined to live for things worth while, battling Against the for ces of evil, will testify. Such services as that of last Sunday morning are ex periences seldom in a life-time. No record has been made of the num ber of conversions. The Methodist church has been strengthened by the creation of a large band, of new work ers who have volunteered for service and the spiritual life .of the whole town has received a distinct impetus. Partly as a result of the meeting, and partly because of the renewed interest in the work of the Sunday school generally, the teachers and officers have decided to voluntarily set the example of giving up cards and dancing. This new rule for the teaching force of this live school will increase its spiritual influence a hundredfold. Twenty-five have given their names for chins it membership, and it is expected that this number will be increased by the time the reception service is held next Sunday morning. sucb a meeting is worth more than can he estimated In changing the cur rent of the life ol .any town or city. Its influence will be increasingly felt so long as those who felt the power of God’s spirit are alive to show that this is not a passing fancy hut a life pur pose that will he translated into ser vice for Christ and the church. The evangelist was very kind in his refer ences to Winder, how well the prepa ration had been made -and how warm had been his welcome here. And as for the people they hope that this vet eran preacher and singer who has n -.a": so much to the spiritual Uf<* of this city In hiv several -visits here will live long to continue his labor of faith and ’ove . , Brother Til'.man was ably assisted by his daughter. Mrs. Burns, who as sisted in the music and who made many friends during her stay in this city.

July 6th. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, June 30, 1921. B. Y. P. U. CONVEN TION AT SAVANNAH By W. H. Faust. The annual state convent ion of the B. Y. P. U.'s of Georgia is always an event of vital importance. This year the body met in the historic city of Sa vannah, the second city of the state and one of the most interesing and his torical of all Georgia's towns. The population is 100,000; commerce in 1919 $597.3272180. Exports through Savannah exceeded any other Atlantic port except New York. The only sug- ar refinery between Philadelphia and New Orleans is located here. It has Iso the largest lumber mill in the South and the only pulp mill. Near the city hall where the convention met is a large granite boulder marking the sight where Oglethorpe and Tomoehichi met. The Independent Presbyterian church is one of the most historic in the south. Lowell Mason was pastor here when he wrote the famous missionary hymn, "From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” Over 1,000 delegates and visitors were in attendance and a more royal hos tess than Savannah has never enter tained the body. Dr. William Russell Owen, of Macon, was re-elected presi ent and the next meeting place is Ath ens, Gh., close to ns and a delightful convention city. We made the trip in the 90,000 miles Ford, Sylvester Sauls, Hearst Bagwell, Hilda Faust, Essie Ism* Williams and myself, leaving Winder at $> :30 in the morning, and passed through Barrow, Oconee, Clark, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Mc- Duffie, Columbia, Richmond, Burke, Screven, Effingham and Chatham coun ties, reaching Savannah at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The roads were good from Thomson •i. fairly good to Athens, a bad stretch in McDuffie, and the remainder of the road was as good as could be. Crops were fine all along the route. In Ogle thorpe and Wilkes cotton was small corn also. The rest of the way corn and grain predominated, with goobers, cattle, turpentine, lumber, melons and trucking well to the fore. The annual convention sermon was preached by Dr. ,T. M. Haymore, of Waycross. Dr. Geo. W. McDaniel, of Richmond, Ya., I)r. M. E. Boyd, of Shreveport, La., Dr. Woolson, of Phil 1 adelphia. Dr. R. T. Bryan, of China and Mrs. Lambdin, of Alabama, from out of the state great inspirational mes sages to the young people. The Savan nah papers gave fine publicity to the meetings. Sixty out of the 92 associa tions in the state are now thorough ly organized and the future of the work is exceeding bright. Friday, after the convention came to a close, an excursion had been plann ed down the Savannah river to Tybee where “ocean breezes blow.” Two ships went and they were loaded to the brim, and such n time as the young folks did have ou the boat and in the surf. “From Rabun’s Gap to Tybee’s light one could not help as he stood beside the ocean to think of Lanier’s great poem: And oh! Not the Hills of Habersham, And oil! Not the valleys of Hall, Avail I am fain for to water the plain. Downward thf* vdices of duty call Downward to toil and he mixed with the main, For the wide fields burn and the mills are to turn. And the myriad of flowers mortally yearn, And the calls come from beyond the plain, Culls o’er the hiTls of Habersham, Calls through the valleys of Hall. And again: “Ye marshes, how .simple and candid and nothing withholding and free, Ye publish yourselves to the sky, and offer yourselves to the sea’’ I will fly in the greatness of God as the marsh hen flies In the freedom that fills all the space 'twixt the marsh an the skies; By so many roots as the marsh-grass sends in the sod, I will heartily lay me a-hold on the greatness of God; Oh! Like the greatness of God is the greatness within The range of the marshes, the liberal marshes of Glynn. Leaving Savannah at 7 o’clock Sat urday we reached home at 7 I’. M., nearly 500 miles and not a single car trouble. The main towns on the route were Winder, Athens, lexington, Wash ington, Thomson, Harlem, Waynesboro, Sylvania, Springfield and Savannah. While in the city it w r as the writer's good pleasure and exceeding great e-, light to be entertained in the hospit- 1 BARROW SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION Civil Cases Are Being Tried This Week and Criminal Docket Will be Taken up Next Week. Barrow Superior court met in the old court house in this city last Mon day morning. Judge Blanton Fortson presiding, with Solicitor W. O. Dean looking after the interests of the state. This is Judge Fortson’s first term in Barrow county and he has made a most favorable impression upon our people. His charge to the grandjury Monday morning was plain, impressive and to the point, calling the attention of that body to their duties and reminding them of the fact that they represent the peo ple of this county. The grandjury was organized by the election of Rev. W. H. Faust as fore man and Mr. Lee S. Radford as clerk. Mr. J. W. Sims was appointed bailiff for that body The grandjury has been busy this week with the business before them and they will have an interesting and important report to make of their deliberations. The following bailiffs are assisting Sheriff Camp in handling the business of the court: Roy Martin. Boh Brad-i bury. A. M. Hnynie, H. P. Fagan and G. T. McDonald. The civil docket was taken up Mon day, several divorce cases being the first to be considered. Judge Fortson was busy Wednes day holding the annual bar examina tion and several young men were ap plicants. Civil business will consume the time of the court for the balance of the week.

JOHNS GETS GOOD COMMITTEES IN SENATE Senator G. A. Johns was fortunate in the committee assignments given him by President Clay, and by reason of fris membership on these important committees will he able to serve effect ively as a member of tiie Senate. Prac tically all of the work of the legisla ture is done in committee and good as signments are evidence of the expe rience and ability of the members so appointed and are much sought after. Senator Johns was made chairman of the important committee on Manufact urers; vice-chairman of the Judiciary Committee which passes on the legal merits of measures; was appointed as a member of the Constitution Amend ments Committee which has to do wtih the constitutionality of bills; is a mem hereof committees oil Congression al and Legislative Reapportioiunent, Mines and Mining, Penitentiary, Pub lic Printing, Public Property, State of the Republic, University of Georgia and Its Branches and the new consoli dated committee, Appropriations and Finance. This last committee will have much work to do as it will be called upon to frame legislation to carry out the program of overhauling the State's financial condition and it is charged with the duty of balancing the condi- tion of the Treasury so that income may equal expenditures and bring about a policy of retrenchment so that the expenses of the state may be held within the revenues. Senator Johns has introduced a bill to abolish the of fice of Attorney to the Highway De partment and to confer this work on the Attorney General at a saving of thirty-six hundred dollars a year and is a joint author of the bill introduced on yesterday to repeal the tax equal ization law and to abolish the office of State Tax Commissioner. This law, originally, had a good tendency but as it operated in recent years under the State Tax Commissioner it became very burdensome to the people. able home o fMr. and Mrs. A. W. Fut relle.

Ami among the things that add to the comfort and pleasure of the public during the sum mer, we know of nothing that is more acceptable than a nice, convenient swimming pool or natatorium. Winder should arrange to have one by all means. Out near the waterworks is a splen did place that can easily and cheaply be fixed for just such a purpose. It was originally built for the purpose of supplying the city with water, but has been abandoned and is now not need ed. A splendid rock dam has been built across the stream, the sides, also, have rock walls, and the bottom is smooth natural rock. A beautiful na tatorium can be arranged there at an expense of about $36.00. In fact, a party has agreed to clean out the place so that clear, pure water can lx 1 ob tained at all times for the above named sum. We have three men who are willing to give $5.00 each for cleaning out the place. We need s2l more. Who will help in this matter? See the editor of the Winder News Friday or Saturday and make contribution. We can ar range a splendid place of recreation at a nominal sum. Let’s have it fixed next week by all means. BARROW FARMERS WILL CO-OPERATE Enthusiastic Meeting of the Cotton Growers of Barrow Was Held Last Saturday. The cotton growers of Barrow comi ty met in the old court house last Sat urday afternoon for the purpose erf hearing an address by Mr. A. A. El more, representative of the Georgia Cotton Growers Association, and to consider the advisability of uniting with the organization. After a splendid address by Mr. El more, resolutions asking the farmers of the state to pool their interests in the selling of their cotton this fall was adopted. The plan outlined by Mr. Elmore is the same as adopted by the fruit grow ers of California and the fruit growers of Georgia. It has been the salvation of these interests and no doubt will enable t lie cotton growers to get a much better price for their products. An organization was perfected as follows: C. W. Parker, president; M. J. Griffeth, vice president; Lon Simou ton, secretary. After the meeting in the old court house a meeting of the bankers was held at which Mr. Elmore outlined the plan of the Georgia Association.

The indicated decrease in acreage in cotton for 1921 is 30.5 per cent. The total number of acres planted in 1920 was 37,043,000. The total acreage in 1921 is 25,818,000. On June 24th, the condition of the crop was 09.5 percent It is quite significant that weevils are more numerous and also more ac tive than in any previous year at this date.
