A photoplay in a thousand is THE Eter-
nal city" which Daniel Frohman will
present at the Strand Tuesday, Wednee-
day and Thursday. 1t fairly deserves the
adjective great, for nothing heretofore
done by any American company has ex-
celled It and only one or two plays have
equalled It. Hall Gaines splendid story
Of the Donna Roma, who rises from the
depths of ignomlny to the furthest heights
of self-sacrifice, Is presented 30 convinc-
ingly as TO create the Illusion Of actual
happenings, thereby fulfilling the highest
mission of the photo drama
Three things combine in the perfection
achieved: Fine acting by Pauline Freder-
lex and others of a large cast; careful
direction and the employment OF actual
scenes In Rome as the background for
about two-thirds of the action. Miss
Frederick and others OF the Famous
Players company journeyed to Rome for
the purpose and the scenes in and about
st. Peters. the Forum, the Coliseum, the
Vatican and the Castle of st. Angelo are
genuine and of remarkable beauty be-
sides. Even an actor pope is seen carried
In the pontifl chair I'm professional from
the Vatican to st. Peters with the full
pomp of papal ceremony. Again Fuller
>Mellish as Pope Plus XI is seen in the
real garden of the Vatican with the
noble guard and the Swlss guard about
him. Stimulation Of real events could go
no further.
Miss Frederick is n charming figure as
Roma and I'm the moments of stress when
she discovers the villainy OF Bonelli. her
protector, she Is superb The David Rossi
of Thomas Holding is also an impersona-
ton of great force. His love for Roma
and his anger when he believes she has
betrayed him are portrayed with equal
skill. Frank Losee as Bonelli is a specious
villain. To single out seems unfair
for each actor. not excluding the several
children, was exactly in character. So
even performance Is seldom seen.

states, and today Is the first time ]
have ever been asked for a license"
This was the complaint that T. T,
Davenport, a licensed eXhorter under
the Jurisdiction Of Cokesbury district
Upper South Carolina conference,
made to The Enquirer last Friday af-
ternoon.
Upon getting off the train, 1 i'm
mediately began a canvass for the
sale Of Bibles, and was doing a good
business until the chief Of police stop
ped lie and sem me to the mayor. j
explained my business to the mayor,
who told me that there was a license of
81 a day for selling books, and when !
told him hat I was not selling any
thing but Bibles, he repeated that the
license was 50 a day.
Il told the mayor" Mr.. Davenport
went on, that l had never run upon
such an experience before. Only yes
terday, when 1 tried to sell a Bible to
a policeman in Rock Hill, he sent me
to the mayor to see about license. The
mayor bought a Bible and told me to
go ahead and sell as many as l could,
but the mayor Of this place gave me
to understand that they did not make
any difference as between the Bible
and any other book"
Mr.. Davenport said that Rock Hill
was the first place in which he had ev-
err been questioned and this town was
the first place he had ever been re-
fused the right to sell Bibles. He
claimed that he was selling Bibles
mainly for the purpose Of helping
spread the knowledge Of "the king
DOM" and that he was using such
profits as he might be- able to make
to fit himself for still more efficient
preparation of his favorite work.

CROPS IN BETHEL

They have good crops this year al
throughout that section Of Bethe
township which was devastated by the
hailstorm last year, and about the only
things the Bethel people have to worry
about are the prospective price of cot
ton and the debts that had to be car
ried over because of last years CROP
failure.
A representative Of The Enquirer
who had business at Glover last Satur-
day afternoon was rainbound for hall
an hour in one of the drug stores with
several Bethel farmers, among them
Mr.. w. W. Stanton, who though among
the hail sufferers last year, as chair
man Of the local relief committee, die
so much and such effective work
among the other sufferers with the
generous aid that was contributed
from the outside.
Although the rain was coming down
in torrents on the immediate outside
Mr.. Stanton was not paying q great
deal Of attention to the immediate out
side at the moment the reporter first
saw him. His eyes were fixed on a
blue black bank of cloud several miles
out to the eastward, and from the look
of pleased contentment OF his face, the
reporter felt encouraged to remark
Looks to me like there is something
doing over there hat you have no spe-
cial objection to-"
That is right" Mr.. Stanton smil-
ingly replied. I'VE are getting all this
bully rain over in Bethel. I don't know
that we needed it especially; but it is
not going to hurt and l like to see it,
Asked about the condition Of crops
generally in his neighborhoOd, Mr..
Stanton said they were fine.
There has been a good average crop
Of wheat and oats. Old corn is doing
fairly we'll and late corn is promising
all that we could ask for. Cotton seems
to be doing about all we could expect
Of it, and generally speaking, we have
no cause for complaint" he said.
All present seemed to agree that the
only cause for concern was the prob
able price Of cotton, and they were
agreed also that If they would only go
to work and put up state warehouses
in which to store their crops there
would be less reason to worry about
the price Of cotton.

A GOOD NEGRO FARMER

There is a farmer down in Bullock's
Creek township who, although he ope-
rates on a small scale, sets an ex-
ample which If followed by numbers
Of York County farmers, would raise
them to a state of financial prosperity
much higher than that which the
great majority Of them now enjoy
And the strange part Of it Is he Is a
negro. His white neighbors think
we'll of him and in fact he Is a re-
spected citizen of his community
These facts were gotten by the re-
porter from MI. w. P. Youngblood
who il the mail carrier on Sharon No,
2, and the story OF the negro's success
followed an inquiry of Mr.. Youngblood
as to who in his opinion had the best
crops on his route. He un~hesitatingly
replied: John Roseborough, a colored
man."
John is a leader Of his ace in this
section" continued Mr.. ~Youngblood
and the negroes should be proud OF
him. There is not a better citizen In
the community. Still he knows his
place and stays there"
RosebOrough was born on the old
Andy Hafner place down in Bullock's
Creek township and all his life he
has lived there. He started out to
make his own way with nothing but the
clothes on his back. He worked hard
and instead of buying fine clothes and
other things as is the usual want OF
negroes, he saved his money. Finally
he bought a little place and he has
built it up to a wonderful state OF
cultivation.
The negro lives at home. He raises
a little cotton but he doesn't think
about cotton until he has planned for
plenty of wheat and corn and potatoes
and meat and other stuff which most
farmers in this section buy. He never
is said they are good mules and any
body can tell by looking at them that
they get three good feeds every day.
There are few die days with this
negro Roseborough. There is YER
something around his farm which he
can put his hand to do. He is up be-
fore day in the morning and he Is
early to bed at night. They say he
hardly vcr "knocks off" on Saturday
afternoon. He hasn't time.
ROsebOrough dOsn't buy stuff on
time. He pays cash. He is a level
headed business man too. Keeps his
money in the First National Bank of
Sharon and he has money there in
June just the same as November. He

II CORN CLUE BOYS

Asked Saturday as to how the
members of the Boys Corn club were
progressing with their prize acres and
about prospects, John r. Blair, farm
demonstration agent for York county,
said that several Of the boys had es-
pecially fine acres of corn and that
from the way 1t looked now several
would make 100 bushels Of corn on
their acre.
"All things considered, it looks
pretty good" said Mr.. Blair. Each
boy has this year reduced the amount
Of fertilizer on his acre to the extent
Of SIS. I can't see that the reduction
Of fertilizer has tended to curtail the
growth of corn. In some sections the
drouth has materially affected the
corn.
Some time ago the Campbell Boys
Sam and Alex, at TirZah, had about
the prettiest prospect for bumper
crops that I had seen. The drouth OF
the past several weeks has hurt their
acres though, and while Sam Camp
bell might make 100 bushels on his
acre, 1t Is doubtful.
Young James w. Draffin who lives
on Leslie No. 1, and who grew ZOE
bushels on an acre last year, Is In a
fair way to exceed his wi record this
year, according to Mr.. Blair. However
there are several other boys who have
prize acres of corn about equal to that
Of Drafin's. Mr.. Blair mentioned the
acres Of John Smith Of Hickory Grove
No. l, Sidney Carroll and Brattor
Land Of the Cotton Belt section and
William Love Of McConnellsville.
At present the ace for first place
in the corn growing contest appears
to be nip and tuck among these boys
However there are other young farm
ers who have crops that have a chance
to turn out better that these even
though they do not look so well a,
present.
