and appreciated by them.
Messrs. Copes and Hildebrand

have been elevated to the office Of
Judge. Mr.. Copes wins, and the ,ad-
herents OF both are rejoicing that

PLEA FOR RACIAL PURITY.
Mr.. Dixon's Startling statemenG
About "The Sins of the Father

= ! p. / 3. . L -
ASWhile offering his new play, THE
Sins of the Father" mainly and
chiefly as an entertainment, Mr.
Thomas Dixon does not mince words
regarding it's purpose. He describes
.'The Sins of the Father" as a pas
sionate plea for racial purity against
the, dangers that threaten the exist
ence of white civilization. The play
wright-author sees this grave peril
in the mixture of white and African
blood, caused by the sins of white
fathers. The evil has been denounced
frcin pulpit and platform, 1egislated
against, and condemned by the news
paper press; but Mr.. Dixon is the
first to attack it in a play.
The story of "The Sins Of the
Father is presented in such man
ner that no offense is given to men
and women auditors. Only the con
sequences TO a later generation,
from fathers folly and thought
lessness, are exhibited. The situa-
ton is dramatic in the extreme.
Helen Winslow, young beauty be-
trothed TO Major Horizons son, is
suspected Of being sixteenth

between the parent and the boy. The
tragic complications are strange and
exciting, but in the end the difficult
ties are resolved and the family hon
or is cleared. Alongside the serious
interest is delightfully."- comic sub
plot, involving the fortunes of sa-
BILE pair of serNitors named Andy and
Minerva.
The playwright believes the white
mans burden at the present time is
to check the spread of miscegena-
ton with all the awful consequences
it entails. The South must be the
leader. True to its traditions, it can
save American civilization, and it
will. The North must learn of tie
South. forbidding both the lawless
relat;ors ships and the mixed marr!-
ages between the races. Such is the
.gist OF the new message by the eel
ebrated author Of "The Clansman. "
His new play, "The Sins Of the Faith
err" in which these nomentous truths
are dramatically presented, will be
seen for the first time, at the Acad-
emy of Music next Monday night.

CREATORE's BAND.
At the Academy of Music Next Tues
day Afternoon.

This morning at 1o5o,slock the
reservation of seats wisssegin for
the grand concert to be- given by the
celebrated Creatore and His Band of
fifty at the Academy of Music Tues
day AFTERNOON.
From the many inquiries which
the management has already re-
ceived both from in and out Of town,
the box-office at Lowman's Drug Co.
will be busy place this morning.
Many theatre parties are being ar
ranged and the concert will be a
great social as well as musical event.
To hear the greatest band in the
world play such great musical mas
ter-pieces as Signor Creatore has in
cluded in his program to be given
here, is q privilege that does not
come often within ones lifetime.
Creatore began his present South
ern tour at Washington, D. c., a
few days ago and although it was
the sixth time he has appeared in
the National Capitol, he was re-
ceived with greater enthusiasm than
ever before.
Unlike many bandmasters who re-
duce the size Of their band when
touring the South in order to reduce
the heavy railroad expenses, Creatore
will come with his entire band of
fifty men. With such large body
OF the best Italian musicians, Gre
atore is able to include in his pro-.
grams selections which smaller bands
would not dare attempt.
