Thomas s. TOrian No Longer
In Race For Jailer.

To DEMOCRATS OF CHRISTIAN Co.:
When | announced myself candi-
date for the Office of Jailer of Chris
tan County. Kentucky, on the Dem
ocratic ticket. subject to the action
of the primary in August, next,
i expected to not only continue in
the race. but that / would win the
nomination.
Business having come up which
makes it impractical for me to make
the two races that will be necessary
to win the Office, Gas thoroughly
believe that could have won the
nomination and that the Democratic
ticket will be successful this fall,
but having the interest of my party
at heart. and knowing that on &C.
count of business interests that
cannot give the time to the two
races that it would demand aud do
justice to myself and my party. |
have decided to withdraw from the
race.
! thank my friends for the inter-
est they have taken in my race and
for the assurances they have given
me that would win.

But something of the preparation
for letting the world know more
about Jesus" as was desired by
Greeks, will be interesting to many.
To produce this great film re.
quired more than so, 900 photographs
and the majority Of the scenes were
in the open streets of Jerusalem and
the surrounding country. 1T b e
Raising of Lazarus" was taken u
Bethany. Mr.. Bland, who person.
ates the Lord, actually submitted to
the scourging in order to make that
picture more realistic. The cruel
fixion scene was very trying to Mr..
Bland. After being fastened to the
cross it was raised and dropped into
the hole which had been dug for it.
This seer .as photographed on
Mount Calvary, the spot, so far as
can be determined, where the Son of
God gave up his life for the sins of
the world. The costumes of the
leading participants in the great
presentation were made by tailors of
Cairo, Egypt. Eight months of ar
tistic study were necessary to make
the different scenes what they should
be. Forty actors were employed, to
say nothing of the hundreds of sup
ernumeraries or the droves of cam
ellis and sheep. The building of
the temple took a months work but
only ten minutes were required to
photograph all the scenes in the
building and in short time it was
RACED to the ground.
The manager of The Rex was, for
tunately, just IN time to secure this
magnificent production, but it cost
a large sum of money to book if.
He very accommodstingly yielded to
the ladies of the Eastern Star lodge
to let them assist in the presentation.
The ladies will of course do every
thing they can in securing large at
tendances.
Owing to the heavy expense of Sc
curing this great 5 reel presentation
it is absolutely necessary to advance
the price of admission to 25 cents.
