ambitious. She has all her life want
ed to become an actress. She has
determination and, so she says, a
good willingness to fight, but, If it
takes a great deal of money, she has
not that. So she has written and
asked me about it.
The worst Of her question is that
it does not go quite definitely and
straight to just what she means. No
amount of money could buy the gen.
ius or adaptability or the stock OF
courage necessary to success in mo-
ton pictures. / have already voiced
an opinion in previous talks that
money spent as tuition to schools OF
motion picture acting is money
thrown away. No, my young friend
one cannot become motion picture
actress merely by paying a price.

HAVE YOU A SAND PILE?

(Southern Pacific Bulletin.)
I observed a locomotive in the rail.
road yard one day;
l was waiting at the roundhouse
where the locomotives stay;
1t was painting for the journey, it was
coaled and fully manned,
And it had a box the fireman was
filling full of sand.
1t appears that locomotives cannot
always get a grip
On their slender iron pavements,
cause the wheels are apt to slip;
So when they reach slippery spot
their tactics they command,
And to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
It's about this way with travel along
life's slippery track
If your load is rather heavy, and
you're always sliding back;
If common locomotive you COM
pletely understand,
You'll provide yourself in starting
with good supply of sand.
If your track is steep and hilly, and
you have heavy grade,
And if those who've gone before you
have the rails quite slippery
made,
If you'd ever reach the summit Of
the upper tableland,
You'll find you'd have to do it with
liberal use of sand.
If you strike some frigid weather and
discover to your cost
That you're liable to slip upon a
heavy cost of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action
will be called into demand
And you'll slip way to the bottom If
you haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on
life's schedule seen,
If there's fire beneath the boiler Of
ambitions strong machine;
And you'll reach place called Flush
town at a rate of speed that's
grand,
If fer all the slippery places you've a
good supply of sand.

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

However, 1t takes time-some-
times months and years of ito win
recognition as screen actress, and
during all this time one must live. Al
first there is long period of play
ing extra bits-of being one of the
crowd at a discouragingly small
recompense. Often there is week
or two or three between jobs and
the few poor cents received for the
last days work have dwindled and
been completely devoured before the
next days work, with its few poor
cents, is in sight.
At first one cannot expect to near
ly live on the money his or her pic
ture work brings in. There must be
resources beside this, no matter how
willing one may be to skimp. In
this indirect way it does take money
sometimes a great deal of ito
become picture actress. There are
much discouragements and little ro-
nance to the early beginnings of a
picture career.
/ should certainly never advise a
girl to go to a picture center with
hopes of becoming an actress, unless
she had some very visible and de-
pendable means of livelihood in view
other than that of hoped for picture
work.

Famous MaWS0n
Antarctic Pictures

In securing the marvellous motion
pictures that will be shown at Chau-
tauqua, Sir Douglas Mawson, the
young Australian scientist, fought
enemies as dangerous as the machine
guns-or even dumdum bullets. In
the Antarctic he waged war as dan
gerous as being fought on European
battlefields today.
Only in the Antarctic they never
meet the enemy face to face and they
never have a chance to fire back. it
is the frost that pentetrates your
body and cripples you for the long
tramp; it is the blizzard that blinds
you till you lose the trail; it is the
treacherous hidden crevasse all cov-
cred with snow into which one un-
suspecting step may plunge you and
your sledge down into unending
space from which there is no return.
Lack of food, scurvy, lonesomeness
these and dozen other hardsnips
make Antarctic exploring extremely
dangerous and hazardous.
Sir Douglas Mawson went through
all of these Affections and after
twenty seven months returned to CIV
ilization with wonderful story and
a set of motion pictures the greatest
ever made and by far the most ex-
pensive.
In these pictures may be seen the
animal and bird life of the Antarctic,
the titanic floating icebergs, the Sla-
ciers and crevasses, the ice cares and
many other unusual phenomena.
The Sir Douglas Mawson Motion
Pictures of the Antarctic are marvel
Gus and thrilling. After you have
seen them at the Chautauqua--you
and all your family-you will admit
that they are the most thrilling rs
we'll as educational pictures that
have ever been shown.

Routine Round
Of Council Whirl

After hearing the reading of the
minutes Tuesday night the city coun.
Gil voted to hold an adjourned meet
ing on June 80 and omit the first
July meet, which would fall on July
4. The report of the park board and
the report of the springs commission
were approved, as was also the re-
port from the springs commission
turning Lithia Park over to the city.
A petition from the billiard hall
men of the city requesting that they
be allowed to keep open later than
the accustomed hour of II O'Clock
on the three days of the dedication
celebration was favorably received,
all but Councilman Ashcraft voting
in favor Of drawing an ordinance
granting some leeway on these
nights.
Councilman Nininger arrived at
this juncture, and his arrival remind
ed Recorder Gillette of the minutes
Of a special meeting which he had
forgotten to read.
A communication from someone
was partially read, and proved to be
very interesting to the hearers, but
did not concern the council and was
cut off in the middle by motion
laying it on the table. The petition
seemed to be a protest against the
methods used in trying some ANTONIO
bilist who ran over the Lithia Park
lawn. The mayor suggested that the
petitioner take recourse to the usual
methods under the law, If he thought
he had failed to get justice.
Mr.. Nininger brought up request
from Mr.. Hull, who is securing mo-
tion pictures of Ashland to be used
in advertising the coming celebration
by exhibition in the motion picture
houses from Roseburg south, and the
city voted $40 toward the project,
which was deemed to be good adver-
tising.
Messrs. Walker and Fraley report
ed good progress in securing ground
for camping and hitching places, and
with the cooperation of committees
from the city at large are securing
land in various sections of the city
and putting it into shape for camp
ers, both autos and teams. Several
other problems relative to the hand
ling of the celebration crowds were
Mr.. Billings submitted PROPOSE
tion from the Chautauqua Association
the strip of land between
Park avenue and the creek. The re-
port was filed and will be taken up
later. In regard to his barn on the
same street he offered to trade the
property for the same sized strip at
the rear with the provision that the
city move his barn. He also made an
offer to sell the property outright in
order to get the matter closed up.
No action was taken
Adjournment was taken at 1:25
o'clock.

Worlds Leading
Tobacco Town

Following are extracts from an ad-
dress delivered by Col. A. D. Watts,
collector of internal revenue for the
Fifth District of North Carolina, at a
smoker given by the Twin City Club,
WinstonSalem, February 4, 1916:
"SOme Parsons.
"Winston-Salem is supplying one
fourth of all the chewing and smok-
! ing tobacco consumed in the United
States, besides exporting vast quanti-
ties to foreign lands. This statement
is taken from the report of the COM
missioner of internal revenue for the
first quarter of the present fiscal year
and from private advices from Wash
ington, as to the second quarter,
which ended December 81 last.
"Your city is making one-seventh
of all tobacco products-chewing and
smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes
and snuff-manufactured in the
United States. Your manufacturers
are paying on an average about $37,-
900 a day revenue taxes to the gov
ernment and the amount is increas-
ing from month to month. When
your government building, much the
handsomest in the state, was complet-
ed last July at a cost of $250,000
your newspapers made the statement
that the taxes paid in your city to
Uncle Sam for the first eight days of
its occupancy would pay for it. Since
September it has taken only a frac-
tion over seven average days collec-
tions here to equal its cost. So far
this week, Mr.. Crawford has taken in
s206,42S.50. l predict that before
1916 shall have ended your average
weekly payments to the government
on tobacco will more than pay for
this magnificent building, leaving the
collection for the other fifty-one
weeks as clear profit to the govern
ment.

"Tobacco Shipments.

"Winston-Salem is shipping on an
average each week day to all parts of
this country and to foreign lands at
least s15O,OOO of tobacco products.
"In conclusion, Winston Salem
manufactures more tobacco (all to-
bacco products are taken into this
statement) than any other city on
earth, little or big. Industrially, she
is easily first in North Carolina, popu-
lation considered, first in America,

SIR THOMAS LIPTON'S
YACH T NOW A CRUISER

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Sfr Thomas
Lipton's steam yacht, the Erin, which
has often been seen in American wa
ters as a tender to Sir Thomas chal-
lengers for the Americas cup, is now
an auxiliary cruiser in the British
navy attached to the fleet that is
guarding the North sea against sub
marines. This information was con-
tanned in letter received here from
Sir Thomas in which the yachtsman
stated that he is recovering from a
long illness and intends soon to leave
England for the United States and
Canada.
Sir Thomas was take i'll after re-
turning from Serbia, where he took
part in the organization of relief work
during the typhus epidemic. The
Erin carried the American contin-
gent of nurses and surgeons to Ser
via. Before that she was in service
as a hospital vessel. Many Ameri-
cans have been entertained on board
the yacht in Sir Thomas visits to
America.

HUNTING SEASON
NEARS A CLOSE
ONLY TEN MORE DAYS LEFT FOR
THE GEORGIA HUNTERS TO
GET OUT.

The hunting season in Georgia is
rapidly drawing to a close, and in just
ten more days many nimrods in this
state will put their guns up for about
ten months.
The season around this immediate
vicinity has not been what could be
c1assed as good one as far as quail
shooting is concerned, and that is the
real sport in this section. The birds
have unquetsionably been scarcer this
year than ever before, and but few
hunters have made any unusually
large bags. A few years ago it was
an easy matter for a pair of hunters
20 go out with a good brace of dogs
and get up anywhere from five to
fifteen covies of quail. But it has
been different this year, or for the
last two or three years for that mat
ter. The party who has found five
Or SIX covies on a days hunt this year
he's been exceedingly fortunate.
The dove showing has also been
below the standard, while ducks have
been quite plentiful. Duck hunting
seems to be growing more popular
around Brunswick, and some good
bags have been made during the pres
ent season. The nearby waters are
reported to be well filled with ducks
at present.
Local hunters hope that the com
ing season will be a better one for
quail shooting. They point out that
the birds are quite plentiful at pres
Git. but that they
and argue that, with a geod breeding
season, they should be plentiful when
the season opens next November.

FOR MURDER Of

BEFORE TAKING SEAT IN THE
CHAIR HE ASKED ALL TO

DEATH IN FEW SECONDS
All of Thursday Night Was

OSS1NING. N. Y, Feb. 1S-Hans
Schmidt was electrocuted at Sing Sing
prison today for the murder of Anna
Aumuller Sept 2, 1913.
Schmidt went quietly to the death
hamber, accompanied by the prin-
ipal keeper and the Rev. Father

he death house he said goodbye to
hose who remained.
When he entered the chamber the

SHIPPING ORDER
NOW DISCUSSED
EFFECT OF ENGLAND'S LATEST
ORDER ON AMERICAN CON-
MERGE IN DOUBT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-Depari'
ment of commerce officials said to-
day that no one could foretell the
exact eft-;' on American commerce
of Great Britain's la'ast shipping aal
import restrictions, announced re-
Gently in London.
The avowed object of the British
in prohibiting certain imports is to
reduce the consumption of these
classes of goods and to make room
in incoming ships for commodities
considered more necessary. This lat
est ruling, officials say, puts Great
Britain's foreign commerce absolute
ly in the hands of the government.
An order issued at the time the
prohibited list of imports was length
ened stops British ships from leav
ing British shores except when Ii
censed by the government. This, it
is believed here, means the British
government will refuse clearance to
British vessels except when bound to
countries with which the government
believes it is most necessary to trade
An effect on American commerce
the new orders will have, it is said,
will be to receive more shipping space
for munitions, now piling on Ameri'
can docks for shipment to the allies
Another is that it will shut down i'm
ports of luXuries.

DEMOCRATS WILL REPEAL
THE FREE SUGAR CLAUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Legisla-
tion repeating the free sugar clause
of the Underwood tariff law before
May /, the date on which the provi-
sion would become effective with a
resultant annual loss of $40,000,000
of revenue, virtually was assured to-
day as a result of the action of the
house Democratic caucus last night.
The proposed legislation was de-
cided upon by vote of "a to 20 aft
er a vigorous fight against it led by
Representative Heating OF Colorado,
who denounced the action as re-
pudiation Of party doctrines. Ten
Democrats declined, because of other
pledges or convictions, to be bound by
the caucus decision.
Democratic leaders were preparing
today to carry out the caucus action
through a bill prepared by Majority
Leader Kitchin, which will be one
way of meeting the expenses of ma
tional defense. Other ways suggest
ed are through the income tax and
an excise tax on special articles and
war munitions.

ALL COUNTIES
START WORK ON
THEIR ROADS
ROUTE FROM SAVANNAH TO
JACKSONVILLE TO BE ONE
OF BEST PIECES OF ROAD
IN THE STATE.

Every county between Savannah
and Jacksonville on the coast route
of the proposed Dixie highway is pre-
pairing to begin Improvement work on
their roads. In fact in several of the
counties this work is now under way
and it is expected that within the next
month, or before the visit of the Dixie
highway commissioners the road will
be practically in excellent condition
over the entire distance from Savan-
nah to Jacksonville.
In only one or two places are the
roads really in need of special work.
The great drawback in the past has
been that stretch of road through
Bryan county, which is now being put
in first.class shape by the people of
Chatham county. The Savannah roads,
of course, are in excellent condition.
Mcintosh county has made wonderful
improvements on her roads during the
past few months, and the work is be-
ing continued. In Glynn county the
road from Dents to Brunswick is eX-
cellent, being shelled the entire dis
tance. From this city to the Camden
county line, some twenty miles, Is
miles of the road is in fine shape half
of it being shelled and the other be-
ing hard and smooth. Between
Brookman and the Seaboard crossing,
however, about weeks work by the
county convict gang is needed, and
this will receive attention at once.
Camden county has already accom-.
plished much in bettering her roads,
but still there are two or three bad
stretches that need improvement, and
this work is already under way.
The commissioners of Nassau coun-
ty, Florida, have already agreed to do
the necessary work on the roads
through a portion of that county, while
the Duval county roads are in fine
shape.
Thus it will be seen that, with a
little work, the entiEe road will be
in the very best shape. In fact it is
doubtful if there will be found stretch
of 200 miles of better roads along the
Dixie highway in the southern states,

IS
To MEET HERE
ON SATURDAY
DATE OF COUNTY PRIMARY
AND OTHER MATTERS TO
BE HANDLED BY GLYNN
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

A meeting of the Democratic exec
utive committee of Glynn county will
be held on next Saturday, at which
time a date for the county primary
will be decided upon, rules for the
same adopted, and other matters han
died. 1t will be the first meeting of
the committee since its election two
years ago, consequently re-organiza-
ton will take place, and a chairman
and secretary will be elected. The
members of the committee are:
Jos. w. Bennett e. C. Butts, j. p.
Davenport, Albert Fendig, A. ID. Gale,
e. H. Mason C. d. Ogg, n. j. Wright,
F. d. Scarlet, Brunswick; j. 0. Beas-

w. r. Townsend, Anguilla; w. H..
Crofton, Everett; Charlton Wright,
Sterling; j. D. Gould. w. II. Shadman,
ST. Simon; Alex Livingston, Brook
man.
While of course the date of the pri-
mary has not been discussed TO any
extent, the general opinion prevails
that the committee will call it at as
early a date as possible The candi-
dates as well as the voters will un-
questionably favor an early primary.
In 1914 the county primary was held
on May 12,and it is believed that it
will be called at least by that date.
The latter part of April or the first
week in May has been suggested.
1t is expected that the registration
THIS year large
one, as the voters this year are to
elect almost every officials, county,
state and national. In 1912 the regis
tration in this county was small, there
being a few over 800 qualified. While
very few have qualified so far this
year, still they have until April 10 in
which to pay taxes and register
At the meeting of the committee
next Saturday a new chairman and
secretary will be elected. The commit
tee named above was elected in the
1914 primary and meeting has never
been held since that time.
