GEORGE W. DELAPERRIERE WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF TRIP TO HAVANA Peopjie and Customs Are Very Much JAt Variance With Our Ameri ” y ican Ideals. Winder News:— We are now in Havanna, a city of this republic. They have a president, senate and house, the same as we. This republic has a population of a little IS than 300,000. Average width of ba is 100 miles, length TOO miles. \ntry is high and roling, no swamps lagoons. The soil is partly black } partly red. The products of the ¥re pine apple, bananas, * cocoa- Ikaiie and tobacco. Coffee is rais |]southem part of the island. I thought before coming to Culm friuld buy anything at our own price bin five found it quite different. Prices are much higher than in the states. They have a price for Americans and one for their native people. The American tourists are outraged at the fabulous prices asked for everything. You can hardly get anything “titten” to eat here, hut have to pay two prices for the junk you do get. We Ameri can tourists cling to each other like old friends or neighbors, and it does make you feel close kin- to all Americans, no matter what state you are from. There are over 6.000 barrooms here, liquor and beer served freely at all ho tels and restaurants. Temperature is tine here; never known to go below 54 und above 00. Average mean 72. They have no. color line here. Negroes and whites all on same level. Very low standard of morals, hardly auy at all. Married meu and women each have their sweethearts just as though neith er* were married. Have been told that 90 per cent of births are illegitimate. A decent, respectable girl is never seen on the streets alone. Those seen alone are questionable characters and belong to the very low classes. She must be accompanied by a negro girl or her mother. Young men, when calling upon young ladies, are never allowed inside of residences —talks to her from out side, through the windows, guarded or protected with iron liars like our jails. When they become engaged, he ,ean come inside, hut parents leave them alone, for one moment. He sits on one side of the room and she on the other. Joe, how do you think that would appeal to young Americhns? (Nothing doing.—Joe) I am glad I don't live here nor were raised here. I like to sit close enough to look into til* eyes of the woman I love aud adore. We will spend a week in Tampa and Orlando. Getting real anxious to see you. F'eel like I would like to put my arms around you one more time, and hear my friend give one of his hearty laughs. Well, no one can leave home and get among strangers, without feel ing proud he is an American citizen. Not only that but we are glad we are Georgians and from Winder , Barrow county, Gn. Yes, there is not a citizen in Winder or Barrow county I wouldn’t be glad to see and grasp by the hand and feel deep down in my heart the feeling of love and good will toward everyone. I forgot to tell you of one interesting place we visited in Havana —the cem etery. The rich have a lot 12 x 15 feet and 15 x 20 feet, in these lots they have from 2 to 4 cement vaults or graves and two bone vaults, at the head of each grave. When a member of the rich families die the casket is taken up', lames removed and put in the bone vault at the head of the grave. These smull vaults are made of mar ble. about 2 x 3 feet, called ancestors’ bone vaults, and can be seen at head of graves. In this way members can be buried and kept in a very small lot. When the poor die, the relatives can rent a space at $5.00 per year, if they fuPi to pay the casket is taken up. Imnes gathered up and thrown on the bone pile, then space* sold to another party. We saw the open graves and bones collected and thrown in a big basket, ready to be put In the bone pile. Bone pile to contain remains of 100,000 people and is about 50 feet high. Pineapples grow three year crops from the some root; bananas five years vand cane 25 years. Tobacco and sugar chief revenue of the republic. There is no advalorum tax. Republic support ed by receipts derived from the sale of Lottery tickets every 10 days. Sale of tickets amount to from 2 to 3 million dollars. The republic gives 30 per cent in prizes and pockets balance. They also own the Grand Opera House, eol .’jf-ting for sale of tickets, receive all license taxes, all of these support the ®)£ lUmikT Wans. WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY FEBRUARY 10, 1921.

(Weather fine (?) here. Come on. —Ed.) “GO AND GET IT” IS RIOT OF ROMANCE AND REALISM “Go and Get It” The Master-Piece of Marshall Neilan’s Career. “Go and Get It,” which comes to the Strand Theater for two days, next Thursday and F'riday, is the biggest, smashing hit picturdom has offered in recent years. It is a thrilling tale of the mysterious inner workings of a great daily newspaper, hinged on the friendly rivalry of two star reporters working oil one of the most amazing and fascinating stories ever chroni cled. i “ShUt-the-dkx/r” Gordon, publisher in-name of a newspaper* owned by Katherine OTseil, is in a conspiracy with the owner of a rival newspaper to so neglect and cripple the O’Neil pa per that it can be purchased cheaply. Through friendship with Katherine O’Neil, Helen Allen gets a position on the paper where she makes friends with Kirk Connelly, a young and am bitious reporter. Shortly afterwards, Connelly gets a scoop on the suicide <>f a local millionaire. He knows his story is exclusive. Carrying out his plans to injurethe standing of the pa per, Gordon arranges with the press foreman to break the press in order to prevent an extra edition. In addition Gordon telephones the story to the rival newspaper. The result is that again Katherine O’Neil newspaper is made the butt of much local ridicule. Con nelly is angry and expresses the be lief that Gordon is crooked. Helen is assigned to interview Dr. Ord, famous scientist, on the question of the substitution of new glands for old ones in an effort to prolong life in definitely. Helen previously knew Dr. Ord in the European battlefields and her friendship leads him to grant her an interview on a startling experiment he is about to make. The interview takes place in a chamber next to a prison and the Doctor tells Helen that a pris oner lias deeded over his body to Dr. Ord after death for the sum of $5,000. The next duy’s newspaper tells of the death of the prosecuting attorney, and judge. Helen reveals information about the secret chamber and her in terview with the doctor. Connelly-and Helen investigate, finding a diary be longing to Dr. Ord and in which de tails involving the transplanting of the brain of a criminal into the skull of a gorilla. Looking over the files, Con nelly finds where this convict had made threats to kill the murdered men dur ing the trial. In order to strengthen his theory it is necessary for Connelly to locate an Algerian servant of l)r. Ord’s. Using an airplane he boards a train in mo tion, does not find the servant, uses a seaplane and reaches the steamer on which the Algerian is traveling. There he locates tlie servant who states that when the doctor placed the brain of Hogan iu the skull of the Gorilla, the Gorilla carried out the threats of Ho gan before the latter’s death. Connelly writes the lead on his sto ry and shoots it in the office. Gordon tips off the story to the other paper, Rival reporters and subsidized de tectives plan to trap Connelly and Din tv—both of whom are waiting at the home of Hogan’s brother for the arri val of the* Gorilla. Connelly gets the scoop, also promo tion and a bride—but In getting them he has some thrills that have never be fore been pasted on celluloid. Shown at the Strand two days this week— I Thursday and Friday—at reg ular prices. MR. W. C. JETT BUYS MAR KE T Mr. W. C. Jett, for nerl.v of the Jett & Brannon Cafe, has bought the It. D.
