"The Birth of a Nation"

Playgoers of Birmingham will see
 "The Birth of a Nation at the Jef-
 ferson theatre next week with a glow
 of local pride for the reason that
 Henry Walthall, virtually native son,
 has the leading role of Col. Ben Cam
 eron. As "the little colonel of Thomas
 Dixon's world popular story, "The
 Clansman,' MT Walthall does the best
 work of his notable acting career and newspaper reviewers throughout the country have credited him with great share of the success enjoyed by the Griffith spectacle
 As most readers of the newspapers and magazines know The Birth of a Nation' is a mighty picturization of "The Clansman," staged in the out doors with 1S000 people and 5000 horses. It is by long odds the great set achievement of filmdom and the fact that MT Walthall was picked above all other American actors for the leading role is a splendid commen- tary upon his ability. Henry Walthall and his several brothers are natives of the Spanish American war Henry served with an Alabama regiment of volunteers.
 Seats for the local enga cement of '"The Birth of Nation will be placed
 on sale Thursday morning and consid- ering the strong local interest in the spectacle, the sale is expected to open with rush.

COUNTIES MUST PAY
 TAXES ON AUTOS

Montgomery, December 20.-(Spec.al) Counties are not exempted from the pay nent of license tax on automobiles owned by them, according to an opinion rendered the state board of equaliza- ton by William l.. Martin, attorney gen. eral.
 Tie new license act contains 8 pro- vision requiring the probate judge to deliver tags for automobiles owned by municipalities upon the payment of 50 cents to cover the cost of each tag.
 The act, however, contains no such provision with respect to counties which own automobiles, and as a consequence they are subject to a license tax the same as individuals.
