the Manger to the Cross,'' which
is soon to be shown in this city
the’public will have an opportun
ity of seeing what has been giv
en credit by press and pulfpit as
“’the triumph of dramatic art and
photographic perfection.” While
the picture has been shown ex
tensively in other sections of
the country, its presentation her,
will be the first time that the
wonderful film has been exhibit
ed in a local theater. The very
nature of the subject, which as
the title indicates deals with
the life and crucifixion of the
Sayior, makes the picture of
more than, ordinary interest and
promises a record breaking atten
dance at its first exhibition.
The film of which there is five
reels, totaling five thousand feet,
portrays all the important events
in the birth and life of Christ. It,
w’as produced by the Kalem Mov
ing Picture Company, and to
make it as faithful to the Bible
story as possible, a trained com'p a
ny was sent to the Iljoly Land at
a cost of $100,0(H), the work in
hand consuming many months of
study and actual work. The
scenes wore producde under the
presonal direction of Sydney 01-

■jOHNSON’S ACADEMY .
’ One of the Finest Communi
ties in Jackson County.
Jolmson Academy is on the old
Winder-Jefferson road, about
five miles from Winder and
eight miles from Jefferson.
The situation at this place is
far above that of the averace. ru
ral community. First and best
possibly, most of our citizens are
God-fearing white people, and
should a little trouble arize we
have a big hearted justice of the
peace and a kind bailiff who can
smooth troubled waters.
Right in our midst lives J. P,
Eley, a kind-hearted minister of
the gospel, .:iid dose at hand are
three good church buildinvs. On
the north sib* is Kbene/er, on
the south sid* s New lVnteeost
and a little to the southwest is

connection lives just across the
Mulberry river. She has just
passed her 96th birthday in lifeT

sistent member of the Methodist
church since she whs a young gir
in ber teens.
“Aunt Becky” as she is lov

months has been in very feeble
health, and though suffering
much at timejj she still retains
<?he<*rful disposition.

mous because of his dramatic tal
ent and artistic understanding, ot
stage-setting.
Miss Gene Gauntier, acknowl
edged to he one of the greatest
emotional actresses of modern
times, assumed the role of “Mary
the Mother of Jesus,” her artis
tic talent being made more per
fect for the part because of her
natural beauty. Miss Gauntier s
study of the part she played cov
ered many weeks of (dost- appli
cation, and hours and hours of te
dious rehersal.
For tlie part of “Jesus.” Mr. J
11. Bland, a young English ac
tor who had devoted many yean
to a study of the Bible and histo
ries dealing with the life of Je
sus, was selected. His best work
was brought out in the picture,
critics of every country declar
ing his impersonation to be “won
derful”
Other important parts in the
picture play were filled by ac
tors who Were schooled and in
structed for a long period of time
previous to the beginning of ac
tual work. Not o detail was
overlooked in the production of
the picture, the result being an
achievement that will stand for
years to come and perhaps for
ever a s the greatest production of
the moving pictuie art.

BOARD OF TRADE
Take Stand for New School
Building in 1913.
At the regular monthly meet
ing of the Board of Trade last
Thursday night that body came
out good and strong for a* new
school building in 1913.
After an interesting discussion
President Toole appointed a com
mittee to canvass the town on the
proposition and report hack to
the board at the June meeting.
Jii this day it is pleasing to
note that the “eat* cm alive’"pol
icy launched by the political detn
agogue and directed toward cor
porations and vested capital is
giving away to sanity and jus
tice.
That this spirit is appreciated
is evidenced by a letter from S.
Davies Warfield, chairman of
the Board of Directors of tin*
Seaboard, in response to a reso
lution of thanks by the Winder
board to his road for the erection
of the new passenger station
here, in which he says: “The
policy of the Seaboard is to do
everything possible for the up
building of your section, and in
these days to feel that such ef
forts on our part have recogni
tion and appreciation as out
lined in the resolution,is a matter
of great gratification to us.”
A report touching the matter
of improvements on the Gaines
ville Midland was made by the
committee in charge, ami some
startling revelations were made.
The Board of Trade, thru its com
mittee, is squarely in behind the
company, and developments sh () w
that in the near future the rail
road authorities must come for
ward with a definite answer to
the demands of the people along
its route, and it now seems cei
tain that the answer wall he a
broad gauge road from Belmont
to Monroe.
That the dallying tactics of t.b ,
promoters of this road are be
coming irksome to the patienee o!
the Railroad Commission of Geor
gia, as well as authorities high
er up, is certain and somehting
must he done soon to satisfy
them that the contentions of the
people are met.
At its dune meeting tin* Board
will have many important meas
ures to dispose <>f, and in the
meantime Will push to its ex
tremity its efforts to test the
sentiment on one of its adopted
slogans. “Anew school build
ing in 1913.”
