The book, now in its one hundred and sixty-sixth edition, has been read thru out the world. The monumental task of transfering it to the screen was ac complished by June Mathis, who made a -scenario that from all accounts has preserved the force of the original and in many incidents heightened it. But it is the director Rex Ingram, who has apparently achieved the most sensation al success, e is reported to have set anew mark in artistry of picturization. Readers of the novel will recall that She story opens on the Argentine ranch of old Madariaga, whose territories are as extensive as those of the great independent barons of feudal times. And the Madariaga rules with feudal power. A rioting, roystering despot, he is filled with Castilian pride of family and yearns for a male child to carry on his tradition. His two daugh ters have married ranch employees— one French and the other German. Ma dariaga's Latin antipathy to the Ger man son-in-law brings with it a dislike of his half-German grandchildren, but when a son is born to the Frenchman, ’ _ Great Moments in a Great Picture :¥>;arfiare& Marguerite turns from Laurier For all that she knew her husband was deeply devoted, for all his distinction in Paris, Marguerite had never loved him. But she had kept resolutely her share of the bargain in matrimony her parents had arranged until one afternoon she visited the home of Marcelo Desnoyers, and then —but that is part of the story of Metro’s Rex Ingram Production fHE FOUR HORSEMEN Of the Apocalypse Adapted by June Mathis from Blasco Ibahex’s Novel ■ Desnoyers. the old man finds his dream realized.

THE GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RAILWAY Some weeks ago a news item was published in the Winder News taken from the Athens Daily News stating that the employees of that road had made a proposition to the owners of the Gainesville Midland railroad to take over the property and run it on a co operative plan. On October 27th, there appeared in the Athens Daily News a denial of this statement, which we are glad to make in this issue of The Winder News. We have misplaced the issue of the Ath ens paper containing the denial of the employees, hence cannot give the ex act statement made by them. Howev er, we make this statement relative to their denial of the rumor that they had proposed to take over the road, gladly in justice to both the road and their employees. The Gainesville Midland road tra verses one of the best sections of Geor gia, is one of the valued assets of Win der and Barrow county, and the Win der News is always ready to do its best in furthering the progress and success of this valued property. We sincerely hope, it will prosper, and that the peo ple along its line will appreciate its value to this section and will give it that support that its importance to our business interests demands. G. W. Fuller Wins Seme Valuable Prizes Mr. G. W. Fuller, one of Barrow county's leading citizens, is one of the champion sweet potato growers in the state. He recently had on exhibition at the state fair in Macon, (la., 10 sweet potatoes that weighed 115 pounds the largest weighing 12% pounds. He received a prize of $5.00 for the exhi bition. He sold the potatoes for 60c apiece. Mr. Fuller has a tine acreage in potatoes this year, and has demon strated that the sweet potato crop can be made a paying proposition in this section of the state. H'fliry Fuller, son of G. W. Fuller, also had an exhibit of sweet potatoes at the state fair in Macon. He won a prize of $5.00 for the best bushel of uniform potatoes. We congratulate these gentlemen on their splendid suc cess in sweet potato growing this year, and hope their example will stimulate our people to realize the great possi bilities of this crop.
