ORPHANS OF THE
STORM, GRIFFETHS
GREATEST PICTURE
“Ohphans of the Storm” is perhaps
I). W. Griceth’s greatest picture, is the
opinion of those who saw it at the
Strand Theater Tuesday and Wednes
day. This picture deals with the
French Revolution, of how the aristo
crats fared sumptuously while the
common herd had hardly enough to
keep laxly and soul together; how there
arose one, Danton, the great orator
who was to deliver France and forever
end the rule of kings and tyranny.
And then the orphans who were caught
in the storm and were the victims of
persecutions and hardships and final
ly almost guillotined. It is a great
picture of about ten reels. It has
some of the most gorgeous settings we
have ever seen in a picture or any
where. Thousands and thousands of
people were required to. produce it and
the cost must have been millions.
The Strand has a number of great
pictures to he shown during the holi
day season and you will miss some
great treats if you miss any of them.

THE PARKER FURNITURE CO.
DON’T BE ALARMED,
AT THESE REPORTS
C. M. Thompson Says A Fexv Things
in The Following Article That
Will Be Worth Your While
to Read.
DEAR READERS: I wish to correct
the impressions that will likely be
made by an article in last Sunday’s
Athens- Banner wherein it stated that
negroes were leaving Harrow county
in great numbers on account of night
riders. It may or not be true that
some have been warned and perhaps a
few left this section. But in the past,
men, Hotli white and black, have often
made changes seeking to better their
conditions.
j When Georgians had settled along
tlie Atlantic and began to reach the
! hill country, poor crops on poor lands
( brought about a great rush back to
tlie Carolinas. A few decades and
these same men came tint-king hack to
i Georgia’s red hills and stUiny climes.
I There has been in most countries these
people seeking better homes.
Remember tlie California gold fever
iof 1349. Many Georgians went away.
Now, if you with your smooth pencil
and vivid imagination will only tot
1 Harrow work out her own problems
with the labor proposition she will
j come out all right. There are those
who are not afraid of night riders,
lint who have been hard hit by the
boll weevil and heavily burdened, and
hearing the pretty tales of plenty over
yonder and off they gone. Home
leave to settle up debts anti tell these
night rider tales to try to justify them
selves. A few dollars in the pocket
and out of debt, some vvheire else, is
better than to remain aud face the boll
weevil situation.
It was to better their condition that
, caused the tax-ridden and debt-bur
dened immigrants to settle Georgia.
Now, because some of our people see
tit to go north, south, east or west, don’t
excite your imagination to the the point
and think they are fleeing from their
homes for safety. The good people
fought eighty years for a county we
now call Harrow. We are proud of
the name and producer of her good and
.intelligent citizenry. In and from her
| borders came such men as Robeit
White, Barter Hill, Wood Hinton, 11.
N. Rainey, XV. T. Perry, D. R. Lyle, .1
C. Patrick, John Statham, Jasper N.
Thompson, Dr. I. J. M. Goss, VV. H.
Hush, G. VV. .Smith, J. B. O’Hhields,
all men of influence integrity, law-abid
ing and law-enforcing.
These great and good men have gone
hut left a power for right that will
stand throughout the years.
In XVinder we are building a city,
and please don’t try to besmirch our
good name. If you do you will find us
to a man rendering a vigorous prnest.
Any gentleman may err, hut if the er
ror hurts a neighbor he will apologize.
If per An nee he boa Jack-n-napos, no
npology comes. And we care nothing
for such.
The present citizenry of Barrow are
as law-abiding as the average over thw
state, and us for frightening laiior
from our borders, I honestly believe
it a hoax. We need them and can
profit by their staying here. But if
they have gone, ere long they will re
turn. History repeats itself. Most
of our townsmen are of the old school,
rtaml In the rural sections. We know
the merits of the old time switch. We
love our neighbors and wish them well
and please don’t forget we are building
u city without pomp and pride, show
01 fashion; just a good common sense
city of true worth.
I Within less than a mile of Winder
lived a darky somewhat in debt to his
landlord, and he wished to move. To
get up an excuse for moving, he plac
ed some red dirt on his steps, hung an
empty cortridge upon his door, and
•and scattered the refort that night
riders had warned him to leave. He
does so. Many such stories could be
[unearthed if we would only take the
.trouble to find them.
An old lady in her church, many
years ago, sat perfectly quiet listen
ing to a trial of one of its members in
error. When called upon for an ex
pression of her opinion she arose and
said, “If there was more done and
less said, we’d l#ve better times: too
much smoke and too little fire. The
Winter is on us and we need more heat
and less wind and gas.” I thank you.
