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- eott. an actor who is world-f? ■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.

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.

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.” Hardigr ee-Bagwell Pnder the shade of a massive oak tree, near Bethara Baptist church last Sunday morning Miss Hois Bagwell and Mr. W.
