Three Bethlehem Men
Make Narrow Escape
From Swollen Stream
After the heavy .downpour of last
Wednesday night, while on their way
from Winder back to their homes at
Bethlehem, three Bethlehem citizens
in the person of Mr. Emory S. Harris.
Mr. Coleman Treadwell and Mr. Luther
Holloway, came very near losing their
lives at the bridge that spans a small
stream just beyond Bethlehem. Neither
tile foundation of the bridge nor the
bridge were effected by the high wa
ters. but on the north side of the bridge
there was a considerable washout, into
which the automobile in which these
gentlemen were riding ran, and it is
said that but for the four feet of swift
water that kinder kept the machine
from striking hard against the rock
wall, the result would have, no doubt,
been fatal for every one.As it was. Mr.
Harris suffered the dislocation of his
te-.-tli and his neck was considerably
wrenched. Mr. Treadwell had several
ribs jerked out of place and Mr. Hol
loway was injured all over iiis body,
more or less. The news came from
Bethlehem Sunday that Mr. Holloway,
it was feared, had developed pneumon
ia. Mr. Harris, although quite shaken
nn and injured, was seen in Winder last
Saturday.
The News, ab ng with the friends of
these gentlemen scattered throughout
•ill this section, is rejoiced that they
came out as well as they did.
The Economy Store Big
Bankrupt Sale Goes On
Mr. H. Silverstein. manager of the
Economy Stove, stated to a News man
to-day. that his big Bankrupt stock
which was placed on sale last week, is
going like hot doughnuts. He added :
“It is easy to sell goods when you put.
the prices down right.” This sale will
continue and the Economy Store wd
vertlsement will l>e found elsewhere in
this issue.
Possibly one reason for this store
selling goods at the prices they do. is
tiie fact that they bought these goods
at a very low price.

BUSINESS BOOMING
FORD CARS SCARCE
If for no other reason than to leant
that general business conditions have
improved by leaps and bounds within
the past six weeks you will be interest
ed in knowing that there is now a very
acute shortage of Ford products —cars,
trucks and tractors. It has been popu
lar opinion for quite a while that any
one of these three could be bought at
any time wanted but unless tlit* reason
for the shortage can he impressed and
the way out of it, lots of people will
go without these products for months
to come.
There has been an exceptionally mild
winter in the North and the buying
season there has opened sixty days
earlier than usual. Practically tlie
same is true of the West. These sec
tions must be supplied as well as oth
ers. It has rained almost incessantly
in the South since January first and
the selling season is over a month late.
Consequently, with most of the coun
try ahead of its season and with our
section behind on account of climatic
conditions, it is very evident that pro
ducts are not to he had because they
were not ordered. When the break did
come, orders literally swamped tlie At
lanta Branch which supplies this ter
ritory. These orders must be filled
from Detroit and even with the facto
ry running full capacity, a thirty-day
or six weeks' shortage can not be built
over night.
Human nature is human nature any
where. Let it he found that a pro
duct is plentiful and it is not wanted.
Let it become scarce and demand far
exceeds supply. This is exactly the
situatb n with us. Ford builds many
types of cars —it. is their strong desire
to give the public wlmt they want
when they wan* it. but they cannot do
so without your co-operation.
King Motor Cos. have sold all cars
and tractors in stock. So if you want
delivery soon you must place your or
der.

THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE DOING
A GREAT SERVICE
The different trade organizations
throughout the state are receiving more
consideration just at this time than
ever before in the history of these bod
ies. The Barrow County Chamber of
Commerce is anew organization and
all of our people should lie interested
in the work it is doing. The following
article taken from the Savannah Morn
ing News eonceitntng the Savannah
Board of Trade is applicable to Win
der and Barrow county. It is written
by Dan Bickers, a north Georgia boy,
and one of the best writers in the
state. Read it and put Barrow coun
ty wherever Savannah occurs:
. Here is the big point about the Board
of Trade. It does work that without it
would not he done. Furthermore, it
is work that either must lie done or
else Savannah will not grow as she
should, will lie treated unfairly in va
rious ways, will fail to seize opportu
nities for spreading out industrially
and in every other way. j
All of us want Savannah to grow.
Consider the merchant. He knows that
to bring anew factory here means to
Increase the amount of money availa
ble to make retail purchases. Consider
the railroad: It knows that the bigger
Savannah is, the more people in Sa
vannah. the more passenger and freight
business it will do. Consider the minis
ter: He knows that the more people
here, the- more opportunity the churches
will have here to grow, to reach peo
ole in a favorable community. Consid
er the doctor and the lawyer: They
know that as the number of persons
here Increases, the number of their cli
ents and patients is likely to Increase.
Consider the man who works by the
day, whether clerk or hand worker:
He knows that as more factories and
stores come here, the more demand for
tiis services there will lie and the more
opportunities for him to advance. Con
sider the real estate man and rental
agent and owner of property: They
know that as more people come, the
greater will lie tho demand for houses
to live in, for store building, and the
more valuable land and buildings will
become.

EASTER SUNDAI
THE OLDEST OF CHRISTIAN FES
TIVALS.—ANTEDATES
CHRISTMAS j
l
IT is interesting to note that Eastei
is the oldest of all the festivals inj
the Christian calendar. It eveift
ante-dates the observance of Christinas;!
for while Easter has been observed*
from the very foundation of Christian- 1
ity over eighteen hundred years ago, it l
\yas not until the fourth century of
the modern era that Christmiiß began*
to t>e celebrated us the natal day of*
Jesus of Nazareth. 'a
Probably one of the most interacting l
facts in connection with Easter is that r
its origin-dates back to the old Jewish
Feast of the Passover. 1
“The first Christians being derived *
from nr intimately connected with the
Jewish Church,” says a Church histo- |
rian, “naturally continued to observe
tlie Jewish festival, though in anew
spirit, as conimmemorative of events
of which those had been shadows. The
Passover, ennobled by the thought of
Christmas tlie true Paschal l4iml>, the
first fruits from the dead, continued
to lie celebrated ami became the Chris
tian Easier.”
But while Easter is a dbnfinuntlon in
Christian form of the Jewish Passover,
arly differences arose as to the pre
•ie day on which the Easter Festival,
should he observed. In the Jewish
Faith tlie Passover occurs on a fixed
lay of the month, whereas the Qhrtui- '
•m believers from the earliest days
assigned tlie Easter Festival to a fixed
day of the week, namely: Sunday, that
being the first duy of the week, aud
the day, according to scripture, upon
which Christ rose from the dead.
These differences, due largely to as
tronomical problems of a confusing
character, continued until the yeitr 325
wheji, at the Council of Nicea, it was
decreed that everywhere in Cn.Weir
doni Easter should lie celebrated oil
the same day. It was not, however,
until the adoption of the Gregorian cal
endar in 1582 that tiiis decree secured
general acceptance; and even to this
day in tlie churches, where the Grego
lan calendar has not been accepted,
Easter falls sometimes before and
sometime's after the date on which the
festival is celebrated by the western
churches. J
As Easter Sunday thus heoqmes a
fixed festival in the Christian calendar
so likewise, throughput Christendom,
with tiie exceptions noted, ns it decreed
that Good Friday, commemorative of
the day of the Crucifixion, shH he ob
served on the Friday immediately pre
ceding the Festival preceding the Fes
tival of Easter. Increasing importance
has been attached by Christian c<*
in unities in later years to Long or Go
or Great or God’s Friday. It is proha'
as the day on which Christ offered
his life for the redemption of the wori .
the most sacred and solemn of the
Christian year. In the catholic church
es on that day the altars are stripped
of all decorations; except the Cross,
which is veiled in black; the hangings
are all black, and the day is given over
to prayer and meditation. The note of
sadness and solemnity has found its
way even into secular affairs, many*
of jjhe States of the Union having mado
it a legal holiday. The custom of cele
brating the day is involved in obseeu- ,
rlty; though from the earliest times:
every Friday among some religious de
nominations lias been observed as a
Fust Day, ns every Sunday has been
a Feast I>y. 'and the connection be
tween tiie one as marking the day of
the Crucifixion and the other as mark
ing tiie day of the Resurrection, is eas
ily traced.
Christmas again comes into juxta
position wj*h Piaster inasmuch as the*
two signalize the great outstanding
facts in the Christian faith—the Birth
and the Resurrection. The intimate
connection between Easter, the day of
Resurrection, and the awakening to
life of tiie earth after the passage of
winter, gives the festival a significance
out of which has grown the diverse
forms of observance of tiie day whirls
carry it beyond its initial religions
meaning, but without detracting from
it. According to the Venerable Bede,
the dav fakes its name from Eostre, a
Teutonic goddess of the rising lights of
day and spring.
