Staunton, Sept. 2s.--New interest
has been a!ven to the local campaign
by the report that Turner X. Hack
man will be an Independent candidate
Tor the office of county Common
wealth's attorney In opposition to II.
n. Kerr. incumbent. Tile Democratic
nominee. First hand confirmation
could not he obtained from Mr.. Hack
man himself. but information coming
from close friends Is of a nature that
leaves no doubt that his hat is In the
ring.
1t is known that friends have been
insistent in their demands that Mr..
Hickman announce his candidacy. 1t
is learned Mat he was approached in
this regard months ago. even before
Professor Jordan announced that he
and that admirers have continued to
plead with him to enter the race.
1t Is understood that requests have
come from every part of the county,
Mr.. Hackman's acquaintance with Au-
gusta people being perhaps as large as
that OF any other local man.
His fight against toll gates, and
his active participation In other re-
form movements, have gained for Mr.
Hickman a wide prominence. while
attracting to him much progressive
sympathy that should be vaiua BILE
when II is converted into votes. He
Ia known as hard worker and az
thoroughly sincere In ell viat he I'M
dertakes, and these qualities no doubt
will prove TO be important assets In
the popularity test that is ahead.

by dramatic presentmept of his
toric and romantic narrative as this
production won, In the short space OF
three hours the impeliing drama of
the final welding of this nation In bonds
OF unity was enacted In all its fasci-
mating detail. Griffith being a South
erner born. the son Of Brigadier- Gen
eral John Griffith. Of Kentucky. has
caught the Psychology of this historic
period of our national evolution.
Griffith does not tell you about It..
He employs an art that makes you. see

the blood tingles with the heroism
and the marveis of 1t. And all the

beginning that 1t Is difficult to cover
all in the briefest comment. You see
the final meeting of Lee and Grant at

robbed the sorely tried nation OF it's

OF that day organize In invisible en-
pire to right these outrages. The ig
norant freedmen. who had been
cousined and begailed by the notorious
carpet baggers are put right by their
true friends, The South masters it's
task with skill and bravery; the viii
lians and politicians are driven out
and new era dawns for powerful
part of the mightiest nation in the
worlds history in a way which brings
this impelling gripping narrative TO
IA logical close
Words are not strong enough to con
vey the work behind this production
or to hint at the marvellous detail
which Griffith infuses into his art.
IT is great. because il is truth linked
to romance and pictures the best ira
ditions of as noble people as ever held
