STRAND THEATER PROGRAM THURSDAY and FRIDAY, JAN. 19 & * ,20. —Mary McAway “Private Scandal’ SATURDAY, JANUARY 21.—WES TERN FEATURE. WHIRLWIND. VOL. XXVIII. A REVIEW OF WINDER HIGH ATHLETICS RECORD DURING PAST FOOTBALL SEASON Made Good Reeord in Basket Ball. Winning Six Out of Six, With 12 to 14 More Games to Play For the benefit of the citizens of Winder who have not closely, followed the development of athletics in our school and who have not noticed the wonderful individual development of s>ur young boys and girls, we are going to give you a brief summary of our past successful foot-ball season and our, so far, very successful season in basket ball. To begin with, on or about Septem ber 9th the team journeyed GO miles to Elberton for Winder High’s first game of foot-ball, and also for the first game that any meufber of the team, ex cept one, had ever played. Too bad that so many of you patrons do not remember the result of the game, but, anyway, Winder won 14 to 7. We continued the season, playing here and there with the strongest teams in the state until at the end of the last game we had won seven of the nine games played and lost those two on ac count of slight injuries. Did you see that Higr School machine, arrayed in their new ’’red and black” uniforms in action? If not, then you certainly did miss a treat. Do you know that we purchased and almost paid for $.’550 worth of foot-ball material through the efforts and earnestness of your boys? Now, basket ball, and then track and baseball, of which three, basket ball bears mention at present. We have played six games and have won six. Have 12 or 14 more to play. Surely all of you saw the game Monday night, last, when we trounced the strong Mon roe A. & M. team to tire tune of 35 to 15.„I)idn’t our boys uncork an exhi bition of basket ball, which not only thrilled the large audience, but also muchly startled our strong opponents? Now, how does our athletics help us? First, there is no other part of our work which will sene more to raise our school to the very highest re/og nized standard among other schools than athletics.—Second, of just much or more importance is the individual development gained The good, clean sports that we have nbt only develops the boy physically m' also mentally, morally and spirit ually--Stop and read below the rules and regulations that each member of the foot-ball team pledged himself to you will see the good that comes to the boy that takes part in these sports. We, the undersigngp, as members of the Winder High School foot-ball team, fully realizing the importance and nec essity of strict physical training, which in order to do, requires the sacrificing of certain habitual pleasures (if we have any) do hereby pledge ourselves to uphold and obey the following rules and regulations, and as far as possible to enforce same by reporting any vio lations that we might observe to the proper authority or authorities. 1. To diligently apply myself in maintaining my attendance in school atid my class work up to or above that which is required. 2. To report promptly for practice daily except when excused for a good reason. To refrain from the use of pro fane language, or any suggestions or actions unbecoming a clean player on our team. 4. To refrain from the use of to bacco in any form of smoking. 5. To refrain from the use of alco holic drink in any form. 6. To retire to bed at nights as far as possible not later than eleven o’clock. 7. To refrain from loitering at nights on the streets or in the drug stores or any public gathering place. S. At all times to keep myself phy sically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Now, experience is a great teacher, and we have experienced through your support and our boys’ efforts, very suc cessful athletics, so far. ami we hope to carry on the good work, and through your support have winning teams in basebull and track.

It is already known, an Oconee county official said, that several guilty persons have been identified and in dictments against these men will lie mart? by the grand jury which meets in Oconee county January 23. Sine? early in December a probe has been conducted in Oconee jointly by the county officials and the United States federal < Hirers in the hope of rounding up the buncli of men who have been charged with being respon sible for recent so-called lyncliings and killings, said to be illegal which have been staged in that county. The latter part of December, re wards of $l5O each were offered by Governor Thomas W. Hardwick and by private citizens in Oconee county for information leading to the arrest of the men or man implicated in the law violations which have tended to bring a cloud over Oconee county’s good name. It was stated Friday that it is thought that the rewards will be award ed tlie same week thut the grand jury brings indictments against the persons who are said to be guilty. No names were given out by (X-onee county officials Friday, but it is under stood that several are in the party which will lie indicted and tried at the session of tlie superior court which meetß in Watkinsville, the county seat of Oconee the latter part of this month.

Faust, pastor of tlie First Baptist church, goes to Atlanta Thurs day in connection with some work with tlie Administration committee of the Georgia Baptist convention of which he is a member. This committee meets monthly and does a great deal of de tail work relative to the denominations interest throughout the entire state. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, January 19, 1922. CASH BAGGETT LIGHTS UP CLOCK That Cash Baggett is strictly on his joli as official clock Winder ami keeper is evidenced by the fact that he lias arranged to light up the clock at night so that the wayfaring pedestrian who meanders around over the city at night can keep up with the passing of time. No doubt Cash has done this as a favor to those men who get home late and are bawled out by their wives. In or der to keep these poor down-trodden men, whose unreasonable wives insist that they not stay out until one or two o’clock in the morning, from having to dodge rolling pins when they come in, pur clever clock winder lias put a liglitl in the clock so that they can tell the time of the night and get in home before the storm arises. We have known all along that Cash had a sym pathetic feeling for the unfortunate and this latest act of iiis will increase his standing with tlie down-trodden ones of our city. G.M. RAILWAY WILL NOT BE SCRAPPED Scrapping of the Gainesville-Midland railroad is not iij, the plans of the owners of the line, W. B. Veazey, re ceiver for the road, told Athens busi ness men Thursday who met to devise some plan of saving the road for this section, notably that of inducing the Georgia Railway and Power Compa ny to take over the road and operate it as an electric line. Mr. Veazey emphatically denied that a petition had been filed with the rail road commission for permission to dis mantle the line or any part of it, com pletely surprising the business men present who had been informed, as lmd the entire section through which the road traverses, that it was on its last leg and likely to quit doing business at uny moment. Get Double Service. Mr. Veazey stated that if the busi ness men in Athens will aid the road In securing better freight patronage the double-daily passenger service will he reinstated. He did not make a definite promise to reinstate the pas senger service maintained until recent ly, but said that if the revenue of the road increased sufficiently to justify it the service would be resumed. The receiver's statement was made in response to a request that he ex plain the situation in which the rail road finds itself. He declared he thought the idea to electrify the road was admirable but that it would take patronage to make it successful and if the Gainesville Midland is given more patronage it can give better passenger service, thus doing away with the nec essity for changing the line from a steam railroad to an electric. Name Steering Committee. In the meanwhile a steering com mittee, appointed from committees rep resenting the Merchants protective as sociation, Chamber of Commerce, Ki wanis, Rotary and Advertising clubs is going ahead with its investigation of the proposal to get the Georgia Rail way and Power Cos. to electrify the Yoad and operate it on into North Car olina and eventually into Tennessee. In discussing the plan in the meet ing of the general committee all of the members favored it. Mike Costa said that if an electric line could be built into the mountains it would get a tre mendous passenger traffic during the summer months especially. An elec tric line would be In better position to handle express shipments and packa ge shipments than a steam line, Mr. Costa said. Did Not Oppose. While Mr. Veazey did not oppose the scheme to electrify the Gainesville- Midland he tried to impress the com mittee that if passenger service is what they are wanting they can get that by helping the road get more freight business saying that but two per cent of the 4,000 or more freight cars handled into and out of Athens annually is secured by the Gainesville midland. He denied that a petition had been filed with the railroad commission for permission to scrap the road. Mr. Veazey was accompanied to Athens by B. 11. Cheek, traffic manager for the Gainesville-Midland. The meeting Thursday was the out growth of repeated declarations that the road was in danger or suspending .operation at any time.
