FOUR-DAY CHAUTAUQUA
PROVES BIG SUCCESS.
Uplifting Talks, Fine Musical Num
bers and Large Crowds Feature
of Winder’s Chautauqua.
Despite the bad weather and the
fact that very little advertising had
been done, the Radcliffe Chautauqua
here last Saturday-Tuesday proved
a decided success.
Saturday the Hon. Jim Price, com
missioner of agriculture, was present,
and with Prof. McHatton, of Athens,
delivered splendid addresses to a
number of Winderites and farmers,
despite the rainy day. In the after
noon and evening Prof. Vrooman deli
ered two able addresses, one on The
“New Agriculture’’ and one on ‘Ar
mageddon.’’ The Bessie Iveigh Con
cert company gave splendid mqsieal
performances at both sessions. This
performance has been pronounced by
many of our citizens the headline at
traction of the entire Chautauqua, ex
cepting of course the charming per
sonality of the platform manager, Dr
Daniel.
Sunday afternoon Dr. Daniel, the
platform manager of the Chautauqua,
v ho has been an instructor at Clem
son College (S. C.) for the past sev
enteen years, a man possessed ot
much learning and great person at
magnetism, lectured to an audience
which filled the court house audito
rium. During his short stay in the
city Dr. Daniel proved himself to be
versatile and ready speaker and by
hifj many earnest and eloquent pleas
a united support of those influ
xes which tend toward the better
ment and uplift of humanity he com
etej.y won the hearts of our people.
Sunday evening union services were
held at the Christian church, Rev.
John Yarbrough, of the Methodist
church, preaching the sermon.
Monday dawned raining hard, but
Prof. Brittain, state school superin
tendent, addressed the Barrow Coun
ty Board of Educaiton and a large
crowd of school people and interest
ed hearers at 11.30 o’clock, also at
2 o’clock and gave two exceedingly
helpful and practical talks concern
ing school work.
The ladies served dinner upon the
Gainesville Midland platform.
In the afternoon and evening the
magicians performed their tricks and
Mr. and Mrs. Hanford presented se
lections from Shakespearean plays.
It was a happy combination, as some
of the auditors enjoyed the plays
while others enjoyed the tricks.
Tuesday was the only fair day dur
ing the season. A mammoth Sunday
day school, parade, over four hundred
strong, was started at the Baptist
church and moved to the court house,
led by the Statham band. John N.
Holder, of Jefferson ,was the speak
er of the day. As many as could be
packed into the spacious opera house
(now the court house) gave him as'
attentive hearing as any speaker
ever received in Winder. Mr. Holder
was placed at a disadvantage by rea
son of the fact that he was not noti
fied that he was expected to speak
to Sunday school workers and Sun
day school children. He had prepar
ed his address along the line of civic
improvement and betterment, and
.handled the subject in a manner
which proved of great interest to
1 is auditors. His address was im
pressive and well received.
When Mr. Holder concluded, Dr.
Daniel made a short talk, after which
the large audience repaired to the
Gainesville Midland platform where
another sumptuous spread of good
things awaited them for dinner.
In the afternoon and evening the
Glee Club ar.d Dr. Daniel gave splen
did performances, and the attendance
at the last attraction was the best
of all. Much interest was manifest.
Over fifty guarantors with a number
• more who signified their intention to
frign makes the chautauqua next year
a success. It hae meant much for

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF EARROW COUNTY AND THE CITY OF WINDER.
REAL GREATNESS OF GEORGIA
IMPRESSES ATTY. GENERAL.
lion. Clifford Walker, Georgia’s
new attorney general, and one of the
most striking state house figures un
der the new administration, in dis
cussing the trip he made around the
otate in the course of his whirlwind
campaign, said:
“The most significant impression
made on my mind was the real great
ness of Georgia. I had been over
the state before more than the av
erage non-traveling man; I hid
heard speakers orate and had read ar
ticles galore on Georgia’s wonderful
soil, climate and resources, and her
greater glory, her splendid people,
but 1 found that I had had no con
ception of her real strength.
“In almost every community I
found men who could successfully run
the state as governor or command an
army in war. Consider all these hun
dreds, together with thousands of
other strong men of character and
ability though less fortunate in op
portunities, and you can realize some
slight conception of Georgia’s true
greatness.
“And unless you have made it a
special study you will be surprised
a- the territorial greatness of the
siite. You have been told that Geor
gia is the largest state east of the
Mississippi, but this generally gives
little conception of Its proportions’.’
Appointments Made.
Governor Harris Wednesday sent to
the senate for confirmation the re
appointments of Judge Henry S.
West, to be judge of the city court
of Athens, and Col. Steve C. Upson,
to be the solicitor of the same
court. They succeed themselves.
our city, and next year we will have
the best in the state. Watch the
chautauqua spirit blend in with the
Winder spirit in 1916.
At the afternoon performance on
Tuesday the following resolutions
were introduced by Rev. Faust and
adopted by a rising vote of the en
tire audience:
“For the past four days we have
had the privilege of attending a se
ries of entertainments given under
the auspices of the Radcliff Chautau
qua Cos.
These days have been filled to the
briin with rare entertainment, inspi
ration of the highest type and infor
formation that must always prove
beneficial and helpful.
“Therefore, be it Resolved;
“That we the citizens of Winder
commend the guarantors of this
movement for their public-spirited
ness which provided these helpful
days.
“That we commend Dr. Daniel for
his tireless energy as paltform man
ager and the very high class produc
tions given us from day to day, and
request him, if possible, to visit us
again as platform manager, and when
ever he may see fit, and that we reg
ister our appreciation of him as one
of ihe ablest entertainers and most
popular lecturers who has ever visit
ed our town.
“That we express to Messrs. J. D.
Price. T. H. McHatton, John N. Hol
der, and Prof. Brittain our' special
thanks for their presence and very
able addresses in the forenoon of
the chautauqua.
“That we urge upon the chautau
ua management the advisability of
coming to our town again with Dr.
Daniel as manager and pledge them
our hearty co-operation and support.
“That a special vote of thanks be
extended the citizens of our town for
their loyal cooperation in this splen
did educational movement.
“That a copy of these resolutions
be handed Dr. Daniel and also
The Winder News for publication.
“That we express our thanks to
the ladies for their assistance and
nice basket dinners as well as the
beautitul flowers they provided for
the *:age from time to time.”

UGLY CHARGES MADE AGAINST
JUDGE RICHARD B. RUSSELL.
W. T Moyers, a Former Stenogra
pher of the Court of Appeals
Makes the Charges.
.Atlanta, Ga , July 7.—For some ten
days the desks of the members of
the House and Senate of Georgia
have been flooded with a pamphlet
making charges of crookedness
against Judge Richard B. Russell,
chief justice of the Court of Appeals.
On Wednesday Representative Con
ner, of Spalding, introduced a reso
lution demanding an investigation of
the charges.
The bulk of the charges concerned
allegations that Judge Russell hired
and fired stenographers at will, took
portions of the salaries of some, and
tried to make arrangement with oth
ers whereby they would work for
less than the statutory salary, the
difference to go to him.
Following is the resolution intro
duced by Representative Conner:
“Whereas, certain and specific
charges have been made and placed
before the members of the General
Assembly of the state of Georgia by
a citizen of the State under oath,
charging the Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals, namely Honorable
Richard B. RAssell, with misconduct,
and whereas said charges are of a
serious nature, which charges involve
the honesty and integrity of the
said judge. ,
“Therefore, be it resolved by the
Hbuse of Representatives that the
Speaker appoint a committee of five
to investigate said charges and re
port to the present session of the
House.”
The resolution was referred by
Speaker Burell to the general judi
ciary committee No. 2, of which Mr.
Connor is a member.
"These things,” said Connor, “have
been said about Judge Russell and
such statements about a public offi
cial should not be allowed to go un
challenged. If they are false, the au
thor of them should he jailed for
malicious libel, if they are true, the
official should be impeached.”

bill of Senator Stovall, of the thir
tieth, which would repehj the eqauli
zation tax act, to come up for a sec
ond reading.
