ATHENS SWEPT BY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
ENTIRE BLOCK ALMOST WIPED OUT
Nearly Two Millions of Property De
stroyed on Clayton and Broad
. t Streets in Neighboring
City.
Athens, Ga., suffered one of the worst
tires in Its history last Monday night
between midnight and day. Nearly
$2,000,000.00 worth of property was de
stroyed. The tire almost completely
destroyed the block bounded by Clay
ton, Broad and Jackson and Wall
streets.
At one time it looked as if the en
tire business section of the city would
be destroyed and aid was requested
from the Atlanta Fire department. Sev
eral thousand feet of hose and a score
of flretnen responded, and they assisted
materially jn saving other buildings ad
jacent to the block which was destroy
ed.
The fire originated near the Denny
Motor Company in the Max Joseph
building and on account of the gasoline
that was in this building the flames
soon enveloped it and began to reach
out towards the adjacent structures.
For hbout six hours the firemen fought
valiantly before they got the tire under
control.
The losses are estimated as follows:
Michael Brothers, wholesale and re
tail department store, $750,000.
Sol J. Holey, dry goods, SIOO,OOO.
Lee Morris, men’s furnishings, $25,000
Andrew Childers, candy, $25,000.
Epting & Eberhart, dry goods. $15,-
000.
pitizens’ Pharmacy, loss not known.
• Denny Motor Company, $60,000.
Fred Davis, gents furnishings, $lO,-
000.
I). Lund, dry goods, $30,000.
Joseph Jewelry Cos., and several oth
er stores were damaged from heat and
water to the extent*of several thous
ands T>f dollars. /
It was said that there were $85,000
worth of liberty bonds in t lie safe of
Michael Brothers. The safe is buried
beneath the ruins of the building and
it is felt sure the bonds are safe as well
as other valuables that had been placed
iu it.
The buildings will be replaced witn
larger and better structures just as
soon as the work can be done.
Insurance was carried on all the
buildings and stocks, though not suf
ficient to cover the losses.
Your Child’s Teacher.
Do you know your child’s teacher?
Have you ever called on her to discuss
the human being for whom you and
she are jointly responsible?
She is your child’s best friend, out
side the home. She is your partner in
the business of bringing up the child
to worthy citizenship. Your interest
in this business is far greater than
hers. She is always an active, tire
less partner, but too many parents are
silent ones
The teucher is deserving of the con
fidence the parent places in her, but
it. is not fair that she should be oblig
ed to’bear the whole responsibility for
the education of the child.
It js the duty of the parent to con
fer frequently with the child s teach
er, just as a conscientious business
man confers often with his partners on
the conditibns of the business.
The teacher should be cultivated as
a strong, personal frieml with whom
the pacent shares the most congenial
of common interests.
She should be visited at least once
a month and consulted as to the child s
weaknesses and the methods whereby
the- tirent can best cooperate in the
work of the teachers. The good
school and the good teacher welcome,
the cooperation of the helpful parent,
but there is a difference between the
helpful parent and the merely critical
one.
If you are not acquainted with your
child’s teacher, suppose you call on
her and get acquainted; and have a
long talk about your child. You will
,learn much from her. and she will learn
much from you, and then both of you
will know the, child better.
With the exception of yourself, who
is a better friend of your child than
his teacher? Become a friend of hers.
Have you visited the school?

IN OLD KENTUCKY
AT STRAND FRIDAY
ILLEGAL DISTILLERS AND REVE
_ NOOERS ENGAGE IN BATTLE
IN MOUNTAINS.
The feudist battles of the south are
faithfully reproduced in the big special
picture, “In Old Kentucky'” which will
be shown at the Strand Theater * to
morrow, Friday,
The story goes back to the old days
of the moonshiners battles with the
revenue ageuts, the mountaineers not
being able to understand why they
were not permitted to make their own
whiskey, and so defied the law contin
ually.
Then, when the government agents
get on their trail, the mountaineers
banded together and fought to the
death. o*le of these terrific battles is
shown in this picture.
it is fought in the mountain district,
in the old feudal style, men hiding be
hind rocks and bushes, firiug wherever
.they saw a head exposed or suspected
that someone was lurking. Men are
seen apparently hit, tumbling down
the ravines, into creeks, and falling on
all sides. Desperate chances were tak
en by the players and the whole battle
is made so realistic in the picture that
it appears just as real as one of the
actual mountaineer fights.
An actual horse race with all its
thrills is shown. Thousands of per
sons are crowded into a grand stand
cheering wildly for their favorites.
A genuine fox hunt is shown in the
film. Tlie hunters, both men and
women, come out in answer to the horn,
clad in gay garments, mounted on hors
es accustomed to cross country rims.
A great pack of dogs are let loose and
quickly pick up the scent of the. fox.
Then the chase is on, the dogs racing
madly across hill and dale, through
■ hedges, over fences and across streams,
the hunters following close behind. The
trained horses take hedge and feqce
without difficulty, many of the leaps
being several feet high, the women as
well us the men, negotiating the Idgh
and broad jumps with ease.
! There are many interesting features
in this film including Anita Stewart
on horseback leaps a 'broken bridge
over yawning chasm, risks life in burn
ing barn to save Kentucky racer, wins
great Kentucky Handicap race, chases
night riders to prevent slaying of the
moonshiners. Beautiful love story un
derlies thrilling plot.
Old Kentucky is a great picture and
you must see it. The theater will be
comfortable.

A MESSAGE TO OUR
IST PAGE FRIEinDS
This is u little message to the friend
who asked us to “please put this on
the front page.”
Sometimes this friend is a man, and
sometimes a woan, and even the
younger people are getting the habit.
It's always a good indication when
such a request is made. It means that
the writer is interested in his or her
subject. It shows appreciation of po
sition in a newspaper and a modest de
sire to accept the best.
Sometimes, however, it might be
added, the choice is unwise. There are
news features which are expected on
the front page, and there are others,
particularly this paper, that are not
expected on that page, but have their
own positions.
Some of these friends who make
those requests are some of our town’s
very good housekeepers. They would*
“have a fit” if someone left the dish
pan in the living room. They would
have another if they did not find the
dish pan in the kitchen, where it be
longs.
We in the print shops are a little bit,
the same way. We have a page for
display news, another for locals, an
other for personals and church notes,
another for news of surrounding com
munities, another for editorial matters
-mid others for general matter.
Yes, indeed, now that we come to
think of it, we agree that we don’t
want everything on the front page, af
ter all. —Warwick (N. Y.) Advertiser.

My Dear Sir: —I want to express to

have succeeded as we have.

have some part in the publicity de
partment of the work because 1 have
had an opportunity to come in touch
with so many newspaper men in Geor

ilege of meeting you personally or not
does not lessen my very gratitude for
the co-operation which you have given
to the work of our Baptist people in
your own community.

DISTRICT MEET.
AT JEFFERSON
DATES FIXED APRIL 23 AND 24T11.
-- GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST „
BEING MANIFESTED
The dates for the district meet have
been fixed for April 22 and 23. The
place for the meeting is Jefferson and
the interest that is being manifested by
all the sehools in the district gives as
surance of the success of the contests.
At Winder High, quite a number of
hoys and girls are entering the prelimi
nary contest for debaters places. The
material from which we shall make our
selection of debaters is strong and we
will have splendid teams this year.
The subject for debate is: “Resolved,
That the J Constitution Should Give
the General Assembly the Power to
Impose an Income Tax not to Exceed
15 per cent of the Federal Income Tax
Levied in this State.” The subject is
an important one and its discussion
throughout the state doubtless
prove interesting to all of Georgia's
citizenship.
AUTO SALES CO.
We have spent some of our time since
coming to Winder in getting acquainted
with her citizens and visiting their
places of business. In our rounds we
visited the establishment of the Auto
Sales Company on Athens street, where
we found two young men busily en
gaged in serving the people of this
section in the auto buttery line.
Messrs. I>. L. Nowell and John W. Car
rington, Jr., are the proprietors of
this business and we were indeed sur
prised that Winder had such an up-to
date auto battery service In fact, you
have your butteries repaired and
i; charged in a thoroughly reliable way,
and if you need anew one you can buy
one of the very Lest on the market, the
Vesta battery. They can attend to the
lights on your car, look it over and in
this way save you a garage bill. They
are prepared to wash and clean ears,
furnish you with distilled water and
suply you with gas, oil and grease.
They are also admirably fitted up for
storing your car and In many other
ways are prepared to help the public
keep their cars in good running shape.
We thought while in their place of
business that it would be a good idea
for all auto users to take their cars to
just such places and have them looked
over occasionally, so that any little
trouble might be corrected before it
becomes serious. Many expensive ga
rage hills could be saved in this way.
The Auto Sales Company have re
cently moved to their present, location
on Athens street, in the building for
merly occupied by Allen's Garage. We
are sure they will do a thriving busi
ness in their efforts to serve the people
of this city and section.
