The financial condition of affairs has been such as to force everybody to be careful iu their buying and to get goods at the very cheapest price pos sible. Tin* great sale that the J. T. Strange Company lias been conducting iu this city during the past days has met the demands of the public along this line thoroughly. The wonderful bargains that they have given to tilt' people has stirred this entire section and their sale of goods has been phe iiouk ual.

REARED IN JUNGLE MAN BECAME APE “Tarzan of The Apes” Will Be Shown At The Strand Theater Two Hays Tuesday, Wednesday. 18-19, Suppose your son were abandoned to Hie jungle when a baby, to bo nurs ed and raised by monkeys; would you know him after twenty years, and what do you imagine he would lx- like. The question presents itself with the announcement that “Tarzan of The Apes” lias been transported to the screen, appearing next Tuesday and Wednesday at the Strand Theater. The question recalls the wide discussion ( which Mr. Burroughs story occasion-1 ed when it first made its appearance. There have been a multitude of pro 'and con answers to some form of the above question, and with the very plausible accoimt of what did happen in Tarzan's ease, which the picture is said to portray admirably, it be comes again an interesting topic for i discussion. | Interwincd with the jungle story is a three fold romance, intensely dramat ic and interesting, which combined wdth the stirring jungle scenes, many of whicfi were photographed in the wilds of Brazil, is said to form one of the most unusual movie entertainments of yea rs. The story takes the form of a jun gle melodrama, in which all manner of thrills are crowded into a Itobinson j Crusoe setting. It follows the life of! a youth, the son of an EuglLsh Noble-j 'man, abandoned to the jungle as a ba-, I by. his existence in the wilds, his final ; rescue from wild beasts of a beautiful i white girl, and his return to his title (and happiness. j Four lions were actually killed bc ifore the camera and a number of other (wild animals slain. Over 3.000 natives !were engaged, transported inland and | rehearsed for several weeks before the scenes depicting cannibal life- could be taken. This picture is one of the world’s sensational stories. See it at the Strand Theater two days. Tuesday and ( Wednesday of next week. COURT ADJOURNED AFTER TWO WEEKS Barrow Superior Court adjourned last Friday after, two weeks’ session in .which a great amount of business was transacted. Many cases were disposed of. The grand jury had much business before them for consideration. We un derstand that no true bill was return ed against anybody in connection with the I foster killing case. The matter was investigated by the grand jury but they were not able to get enough evi dence against anyone to find a bill.Of course we cannot tell anything about the investigation as that body was un der oath not to divulge any of their proceedings. However, they were all good representative men of the county and we feel sure they did everything iu their power to go to the bottom of the killing. We do not know what further will be done in the ease. FOB COUNCILMAN AT-LARGE. At tlie solicitation of many friends and citizens of Winder to become a can didate to succeed myself as councilman at-large of the City of Winder, I have decided to offer again for councilman at large and solicit your vote at the coming primary. M. J. GKIFFETH. IS A MAN BIGGER THAN BOLL WEEVIL? Some Things We Should All Know About Our County (By L. W. Collins) The Athens Chamber of Commerce called together this week a group of the leading farmers of Clarke county with the business men of the city and gave out a program that ought to lie in the hands of every man in Barrow county. Dr. Soule, of the State Agricultural college, and others, among them suc cessful farmers, gave facts and figures that fairly took our breath away. We went there prepared to hear more talk of coming calamity, and came away feeling that the Millenium for North Georgia was just around the corner. I want to give just a few of the facts that 1. for one, did not know, facts that ought to be known, and that ought to be investigated 1 think that it would hearten us so that every business man and farmer in Barrow county would want to get together and help make this next year, instead of one of fiiian cßil ruin, one of the best and most prosperous in our history. Some of us are just finding out that we have an agricultural demonstrator in our county who is working over time with a spirit of real self-sacrifice to serve the interests of the county. We might; have known all these things long ago if we had been w illing to lis ten to him. But what these men with years of effort have not been able to do, the boll weevil lias done overnight, and we are all ready to listen now. First, do you know that in all the history of the South that the raising of cotton alone has brought nothing but want to the average cotton grower? That we never have broken even when we consider the labor of women and children in the fields? That the money raised even if cotton were Go cents a pound would not do us any good if it all had to Ik* spent in importing food stuffs for a man and beast from out side tlie state? Second, do you know that anything that can be grown anywhere on the continent (outside of Florida) can be grown in Barrow county? Third, do you know that the only far mer that lias had any real success is the mail that lives at borne, and rais<>s cot ton as a surplus crop? Fourth, do you know that we have as rich a soil as any part of the world, and that with alternate crops we could build up the soil, raise enough hay and feed for all the cattle we need, and then realize more than we ever have on cotton? Fifth, do you know (hat with intel ligent methods of lighting the boil wee vil and raising enough to cat at home that South Georgia is prospring again? Do you know that because middle Geor gia would not take warning this year that they are almost in desolation? Do you know that Barrow county must take its choice, and must choose quick |!.v? Sixth, do you know that next year is likely to be our worst year unless all 'signs fail, and that we must raise meat, corn, wheat, potatoes, alfalfa and dairy products or face actual starva tion? On the other hand, do you know that markets arc being provided for every pound of pork, every grain of corn, and every potato that can In grown in this section? Seventh, do you know that, properly graded and marketed, if Burrow coun ty can organize and grow sufficient quantities of these products that, at present prices, we could have a year of real prosperity. In other words, we are assured that the only way to get a constant market is to have a constant supply. That there is a market right now for thou sands of bushels of corn. That there iis a great shortage of potatoes. That we can still grow cotton if wo are wil ling to use intelligent methods of fight ing the boll weevil, hut that it is sui cidal, now under present conditions, to depend on cotton alone. Thai the time as come when we must stop saying that we can'e get together, for the existence of farmers and business man alike de pends on this fact that we must get to gether. It is worth considering. D-t us ask Mr. Robertson for the facts. The Ag ricultural College at Athens has ex perts at work who are authorities on tho subject, and who have examined the situation thoroughly. On the com ing Monday there is to be a meeting of BOND ELECTION LIKELY CARRIES IN THE COUNTY. The election to determine whether or not lKinds shall be issued by Barrow county for the purpose of completing the court house was held last Saturday. While the voting was light it is thought that by the time the registered list is properly purged that the bonds will carry. There were 117S votes cast for bonds and 15 against them. This num ber lacks just a few votes of being a majority of all the registered votes of the county. The list was not purged lief ore the election, and it is thought that when the names are removed from tlie list that ought not be there that jhe result will be in favor of the elec tion being valid. Thus matter will be determined in a few days. Bonds carried by 45 majority. There were 336 i registered voters on the list and as binds received 1178 votes they carried hy a majority of 45 votes. UNIVERSITY OF GA. MEN AT BANQUET Tin' Fnlversity of Georgia men met j at the Granite Hotel Tuesday night, J October lltli, at 8 o’clock to begin the j drive for a one million dollar memorial fund to make improvements that are much needl'd at their old Alma Mater. This campaign will terminate on No vember the 11th, at which time all Georgia men must have gone over the I lop Simultam ously all over the United j Stall's at tlie hour of eight, tlie sons of old Georgia were meeting together to | pledge their aid to their Alma Mater, and to help raise money to fill urgent needs for which the State Legislature failed to make appropriations. About fifteen of Barrow county sons of Georgia sat down to the banquet, table. The meeting was cant'd to or der by Col. W. H. Quarterman, county chairman. Promptly at 9:00 all stood and sting together Alina Mater,” and as the words of the old song rang out, tender memories of tin* days spent in the University surged up. Col. Irwin of Athens was the speak er of the evening. He told in a brief land pleasing manner the progress of the University in the past, quoting statis tics of th(> number of Georgia men in public life. He went on to say thut if the University expected to hold her place among the educational institu tions, she would have to have some .’much needed Improvements, which he enumerated. Col. Irwin’s speech was followed by one from Judge R. B. Russell, the old est alumnus present, who gave some fender reiuiniscenscs of the University. ,He was followed hy Col. Clifford Pratt, who told the part the Sons of Georgia played in the world war. Col. Julian E. Ross, the youngest alumnus present, ♦ old of tin' crowded conditions of the University and the need of immediate help. Curds were around and tho subscriptions began. <’ol.

Winder Dry Goods Has Some Bargains The Winder Dry Goods Store is of fering two unusual bargains to the publi<v They have 30 petticoat* of splendid material and values that they will sell for s2.<i9 emit. The first 30 that get to the store Friday morning, Oct. 14tli, from It o'clock on will get these bargains. They are also offering tine silk hose at*sl.oo per pair. These are what we call bargains. a group of them at the court house here. I feel as if it would he worth a million dollars to Barrow county if business man, banker and farmer would slop long enough to hear what they have to say. Their program is safe, sane and holds a promise of better days for all of us. If we are willing to learn from middle Gorgla’s bitter xperience, let's try it!
