Over 100 Barrels of
 Salt Sold Saturday

The Trades Day which was pulled off here last Saturday was a pronounced success. Owing to the inclement weather the crowd was not as large as was expected. The roads were wet and muddy from the rains the day before and the wind was blowing cold. Nevertheless, by noon the streets of Carlisle were crowded with people from one end to the other.
 The supply of salt which was made the feature of this occas- ion was exhausted long before the demand was filled. Over 100 barrels being sold. All of the stores had an extra force of clerks who were kept busy wait ing on the customers,
 The free moving pictures which was about the only amuse. ments was well attended as was reported by Mr. Elhs who was in charge. He said the house would fill up and he would have to close the doors and wait until some of the guests left to make room for more. The promoters seem to be very well satisfied with the returns.

The Birth of a Na>
 tion at Little Rock

Right at the climax Of It's trl' umphant tour of the South, where it has been repeating it's own sensational record of the North, The Birth of Nation" comes to Kempner Theater Mon. day night, Dec. 27, for the entire holiday week extending between Christmas and New Years. There will be daily matinee starting Tuesday. The prices are the same as those that pre- vail throughout the country, ranging from twenty-fiv cents to two dollars at night and from twenty five cents to one dollar at the matinees. The low holiday excursion rates that prevail on all the railroads at this season of the year will make the Kempner Theater a center of attraction for the entire State of Arkansas throughout the holi day week.
 "The Birth of a Nation, ;" as every body is now fully aware, Is gigantic spectacle of Civil War and Reconstruction days, found ed on Thomas Dixon's novel, The Clansman, but with far vaster scope ar more vivid pre- sentatioe than is possible in any book, where the author is hamp. cred by the art of writing. All the words used by Dixon in his novel could not adequately de- scribe the thousand and one de- tails flashed on the screen in a single mad dash of the Ku Klux Klansman on their deeds of ven. geance and mercy. Before the eyes of the spectator is fought the battle of Petersburg; Sher- man marches to the sea and storms Atlanta; President Lin coin is assassinated in the crowd ed Ford's Theater, where play is being presented; and the car pet baggers and their tools are shown tightening their grip on a down, ,trodden South-a grip ti- nally relaxed through the agency of inc invisible empire" of the Ku Klux Kan.
 The entire performance is ac- c 5mpanied by a musical score that truly interprets every phase of the action, played by d symphony orchestra of thirty musicians that travel with the production. The music and sound effects make the spoken word unnecessary for thorough enjoyment of every moment of the performance.

CLOSE WATCH TO
BE KEPT ON BIRDS
Census of Last Summer Only
the First of Many
Planned.

The much-talked-of Census OF the
birds taken last summer by the
United States Biological Survey un-
doubtedly led to popular misconcep-
tions as to the purpose and scope. The
first extensive undertaking Of similar
character in this country, but on
local, not national, scale, was the
Sectional bird census" taken st Ber-
wyn, Penn. during the seasons OF 1899,
1900 and 1901, by +. L. Burns. says
"The Scientific American" In that case
5SS pairs Of native birds were found
breeding on $40 acres. In the summer
Of 1907 the University OF Illinois con-
Quoted a series of statistical bird
studies in Southern Illinois. A bird
census Of a tract Of land near Wash
ington has been taken annually for
some years by the Biologicfs Survey.
AS Congress has recently placed the
Department of Agriculture in charge
OF migratory game and insectivorous
birds. in connection with protective
legislation. il has become necessary 20
ascertain the abundance and distribu-
tion Of the various species throughout
the country as far as possible from
year to year, so that the effectiveness
Of protective measures can be tested.
The census of 1914 was, therefore,
but the first Of series. IL was really
% a very fraCmentary character, en-
bracing the reports Of less thar two
/ hundred volunteer observers. Each OF
