BALKAN WAR DRAMA

1.-The Captive which opens
Sunday afternoon at the Colonial,
is startling and very successful
drama of the Balkan wars, by
Cecil b. De Mills and Peanie Mac

on the impoverished little farm
owned by a peasant girl, who finds
herself deserted and helpless after
her brother has been killed in a
combat with Turks.

for Jack Bowles, who knows the

that 1t Is the nest of a bush tit
mouse, smaller than a humming
bird, which hides its eggs by won
derful concealment of its nest, and
by making it's nest SO tight and

LLondon Chronicle.
The Duke of 5sermoneta, who is act
ing as president of the committee
formed in Rome to promote the inde-
pendence of Poland, ranks among the
greatest landowners in Italy, Fogliano,
his estate near the Pontine marshes,
extending to $4,000 acres, mainly un-
der grass, for the duke owns vast
herds Of cattle The most productive
portion of the estate, however, is a
lake several miles long and about a
mile in breadth, which, from the time
of the Roman empire downward, has
supplied fish for the market in Rome.
Whenever there is a flood caused by
rain on the hills, the lake overfows
through a narrow channel into the
sea. The sea fish find their way
through into the lake, remain to fat
ten in the fresh water and then are
captured on their return by an in
genious labyrinth constructed of reeds
into which they swim. They are Of
the best kind-ehiefy gray mullet.

SOME NOTES FROM
WINTHROP SUMNER SCHOOL

Having finished our work at Win
throp summer school, We use leisure
moment to give our friends an idea
of tie way in which we spent our
time.
First, we will state that the Y. W. c..
A. has been a very important factor
in the summer school. Vesper services
were conducted On Wednesday even
ing by the students and members of
the faculty; on Sunday evening, by
Rev. F. G. Greggs, who gave US some
very helpful talks. Also, the Y. W. C..
A. entertained the faculty and students
in their playroom.
Tie general lecture course was very
interesting and instructive. Among
the lecturers were DR.. Hodge, author
of Mature Study and Life" and DR..
Swope, educational field agent of the
National Association of Audobon So
cieties. DR.. Swope conducted outdoor
exercises for the study of bird life.
We left the college at 4:30 a. m., as
''an early hour is the best time to get
acquainted with bidds.' Mr.. Livings-
ton Barbour rendered the readings,
David Copperfeld" and "a Christmas
Carol"
Miss Laura Combs, q noted soprano,
accompanied by Miss Campbell, gave a
splendid entertainment one Saturday
night. The pupils in tie departments
Of music and physical education en-
tertained us most delightfully."- on Fri
day and Tuesday night with folk
dances, choruses, solos and duets. The
exhibits in the art and manual train
ing department were splendid and
give evidence Of much work on the
part of bota teacher and pupil.
Last, but not least, were the plays
given by the Coburn Players, "The
Yellow Jacket" Tine Imaginary Sick
Man" and Jeanne D'Arc' Each of
these plays showed remarkable skill
on the part of the actors and were a
source of much enjoyment.

VIVIAN MARTIN IN
"THE ARRIVAL OF PERPETUAL

The fast growing armies of Vivian
Martins admirers will surely be in
creased by the latest World film offer
ing, ''The Arrival of Perpetua," which
is to be shown here on August 8. The
picture is in five yarts and it is the
first production of Mons. E. C@autard,
the new French director of the COM
pany.
Vivian Martins delicate style of act-
ing, her personal grace and beauty are
so distinctive and piquant that it is
necessary to provide specially for her
in respect of the story of the picture.
in which Sc is cast, and of course,
her own part must be similarly unique.
Miss Martin, in fine, must be just Ger
self; the public wants Vivian Martin,
and Vivian Martin in a suitable photo
play.
Perpetua is a, rich little girl, an Or
phan, with guardian very much
older than herself This man is an
absent-minded dreamer, unaware Of
his responsibility to Perpetua. The
girl wanted to live in her guardians
house, but instead went to her fathers
half sisters, Miss Majerdie, an angular
spinster of so, with prediction for
monkeys, parrots, cats and dogs.
Perpetua is not happy in this an
tique environment, so she runs away
and forces herself upon her moody
guardian, Thaddeus. He endures her
for time and finally ships her back
to his sisters. The pretty girl is pur-
sued by several suitors wlc5e ardor
sne cools wien she is said to be not
worth a cent
And here the moody guardian steps
in. He has loved the girl, but her
wealth has prevented him from declar-
ing lis affection for ner But now that
she is poor, he doesn't hesitate to offer
himself.
In a story of this character it is
obvious that the refined artistry Of
Miss Martin finds adequate scope. This
beautiful girl shines in every film in
WI ich she is seen, but when the entire
framework of the pla y1as been espe-
cially designed for her, her pleasing
personality stands out all the more
markedly and distinctly.

SHERIFFS WILL HAVE
CENTRAL NEWS BUREAU
Accounts of Crimes and Descriptions
of Criminals VIII Be Furnished
ThrOuh This Agency.

Greenwood Journal.
Plans for a central information bu-
reau, from which accounts of crimes
and descriptions of criminals will be
disseminated to every sheriff of the
State Immediately after the crimes
commission, were set on foot at the
semi-annual meeting in Greenville of
the State Sheriff's association.
Tie plans for the bureau have not
been worked out in detail, but the 9TH
er sheriffs were impressed with the
idea that such an institution would
amount to a great deal of good for the
State. No reports of minor crimes and
misdemeanors will be made to the bu-
reau, as that would only cause useless
labor, but in tie case Of serious
crime, when the criminal is not ap-
pretended Immediately, by notifying
the central office every sheriff in the
State can be warned to watch for the
person wanted.
