DECISIVE BATTLE RAGING
AT THE GATES OF WARSAW.
Berlin Claims Russians Have Re
treated Into Outer Lines of the
Polish Capital.
London, August 4.—After trying
for three weeks to force the Rus
sians to evacuate Warsaw by encir
cling movements from the north and
pressure from the west, the Austro-
Germans have commenced attacks on
the fortresses of the capital and
those of Lomza and Ostrolenka, to
the northeast, and Ivangorod, to the
southeast.
Berlin claims tonight that the Rus
sians have been driven back to Lorn
za’s advanced defenses; that the Na
rew has been crossed near Ostrolen
ka; that driven out of their BQonie
positions, the Russians have fallen
back into the outer lines of Warsaw,
which the Bavarians are attacking,
and that the Austrians have captur
ed the western part of the fortress of
Ivangorod.
Thus, what should prove a decisive
battle for the Polish capital has be
gun in earnest.
In the meantime Field Marshal von
Mackensen is slowly advancing from
the southeast between the Vistula
and the Bug in an effort to cut off
the Russian armies, which apparently
are making a leisurely exit from Wai
saw and the western lines, while
General von Buelow, in his wider
encircling movement through Cour
land, has reached Kupischki, 50 miles
west of Dvinsk, cn the Vilna-Petro
grad railroad.
ELECTION CALLED TO FILL
VACANCIES OF COUNCIL.
The mayor and council at its meet
ing Tuesday night called a special
election for Saturday, August 14th, t
fill the vacancies caused by the res
ignations of Messrs. Ross, Millsaps,
and Hill.
Notices to this effect were posted
over town Wednesday, the mayor’s
favorite way of serving notice on
the people when matters of great
moment are about to take place.
PULL FOR MORE MANUFACTORIES
If the five financial institutions of
Winder were to receive today a de
posit of $7,000 each, the easing up of
the financial stringency would be
all but mraculous.
And yet that is w r hat one of the
least noticed manufacturing plants
in our hustling little city is doing
every year. It is turning loose an
annual payroll of something over $35
000 which Las been spent here and
finally sirts back into the banks of
the town.
Ten more plants like this will
“build a city here.’’ Let’s pull for
more like it.
Spartenburg, S. C., is now a city
of ssome thirty thousand people. Fif
teen years ago her postal receipts
were about that of Winder’s present
receipts.
Would it not be well to find out
how Spartanburg did it.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.
According to Federal Reserve Board.
No Material Change in the At
lanta Di|trict.
Washington, August 4. —Business
conditions, throughout the country
continue to show improvement, said
the monthly bulletin of the federal
reserve board issued today. Until
crops are harvested the full measure
of this improvement cannot be jjudg
ed, the bulletin added.
Crop prospects are bright, and in
several reserve districts war orders
have brought a boom to industries.
In Richmond district the cotton
crop is reported late but in excellent
condition, though prices are low.
Business generally is holding a
steady position.
There is a tendency to improvement
in the Atlanta district, but conditions
do not show material change. Cot
ton mills are at full capacity, and
new mills are under construction.
Agricultural prospects are bright.
The Dallas district cotton crop
will be materially reduced, and much
of it probably will be held under
warehouse receipts to save the mar
ket. Live stock, lumber and oil all
show improvement.
Boston reports optimism and a be
lief that improvement, although slow
may be expected. ,
The outlook in Philadelphia is said
to be uncertain with improvement in
other parts of the district.
Confidence in the crop outlook is
reported from Minneapolis. The har
vest in the Kansas City district will
be less than last year, but crop con
ditions are good. Crop conditions
in the San Francisco district are
reported good, but lack of bottom for
exports is filling warehouses and de
laying trade activity.

Antony and Cleopatra!
9
By far the most interesting and
best acted photo drama yet seen in
thus country is George Kleine’s pro
duction of the Cines photo drama of
“Antony and Cleopatra,” which is
announced for Monday afternoon and
night at the No-Name Theater be
ginning at 5 o’clock.
The dramatic power invested in
this subject by the players is noth
ing short of marvelous, and goes to
prove once more that the Italian ar
tists are the masters of expression
and pantomime before the camera.
The story of Antony and Cleopatra
is so comprehensively presented that
the spectator feels almost impelled to
furnish the dialogue as the pictures
pass before his eye. Dramatically
it is the strongest yet offered in
photo drama, and affords magnificent
opportunities to the players. The

WORKING COUNTY ROADS;
THREE SCRAPES IN OPERATION
Judge Hill has purchased: three
road scrapes and work upon the pub
lic road* of Barrow county will now
begin in earnest. The scrapes ar
rived Tuesday and the large one,
drawn by eight mules, is in opera
tion upon the National Highway, be
ginning work Wednesday afternoon
at the Mulberry river and working
toward Winder. It v/ill require four
to six mules to pull each of the small
er scrapes. They will be placed in
other parts of the county and it, is
hoped by Mr. Hill that all of the
road machinery will be kept in con
tinual operation until the public
roads of Barrow county are placed
in first-class condition. On account
of the fight for anew county the
Barrow county territory was neglect
ed for a number of years, and when
Mr. Hill took charge many of the
roads and bridges were in fearful con
dition. The ordinary has been on the
job continually since h's induction
into office, and the road builders are
just now getting in position to do
work which will attract the atten
tion of the g neral public.

FOR YOU
LET US DEMONSTRATE
elli is a virile masterpiece in* “Quo
Vadis,’’ Signora Giovanna TeribiU
Gonzales is a realization of all ideals
as Cleopatra, the voluptuous beauty
of the Nile, whose charms almost de
stroyed an Empire.
Signor lgazio Lupi, who played a
minor role in “Quo Vadis” is cas-t
for Octavius in “Cleopatra” and
gives a remarkable performance. The
acting of Signora Elsa Lenard as Oc
tavia, wife of Antony, and Signorina
Matilde di Marzo as the Egyptian
maiden, Cbarmain, is fully in keep
ing with the other principals. Many
other prominent players from “Quo
Vadis” cast are also recognized in
the minor characters of the story,
all of whom contribute to the glorious
artistic finish of tbe whole. Asa
scenic spectacle it is the most won
derful achievement of the age.
BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF
THE SEPARATED LIFE.
The Rev. Sam Cartledge, of Athen,
Preaches Impressive Sermon at
Union Services.
The union services were held last
Sunday evening at the Baptist churcl
the Presbyterian minister, the Rev.
Sam Cartledge, of Athens, delivering
the sermon.
The preacher held the undivided at
tention of every member of the
large congregation throughout his en
tire discourse, and the message Ue
brought supplied the yearnings of
many souk and will prove a lasting
blessings to a number of Christians
of the various denominations.
Mr. Cartledge had selected for his
theme “Th Separated Life,” and
pi: lured its beauties by a compari
son of the lives of Abraham and
Lott. He read the somewhat similar
passages of scripture in Genesis
where Abraham sat in the door of
his tent ar.d the Lord and two an
gels called upon him and entered the
tent; Lott sat in the gateway to the
city of Sodom and the same two an
ge’s called to see him, but tht| Lord
did not go and the angels did not
enter the city. The Lord calle..
Abraham aside and just so long j
Abraham requested, the Master grant
ed his request. Abraham lived the
separated life; Lott lived for the
pleasures of this world. Years later
Peter said Lott was a Christian man.
Mr. Cartledge handle-d the distinc
tion between the separated and the
mere church member in a mastery
manner, and his sermon has left its
impress not only upon the Christians
of Winder, hut upon prominent men
who are not affiliated with the lo
cal churches.
Sam Cartledge ai ' ocnov.* at
Martin Institute, and some of his
classmates are among our citizenship
May his returns to Winder be many
and often.
