CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOLS PROVES
A GREAT SUCCESS
New Institution at Cuba Is
Given as Example of
Splendid Movement.
Money in Cattle

Cuba, September 4.-(Special) marked
by the greatest enthusiasm and interest
the Cuba High school opened this morn
ing with a record breaking attendance,
and with new faculty which is anxious
to maintain the splendid school spirit
for which the town has been noted.
Principal j. NJ Davis was said to be
more than gratifed with the enrolment
and the outlook. This is one of the most
successful cases of consolidation of rural
schools in the state and one of the first
to adopt the plan of bringing the children
into the town in large covered wagons
! a plan that has resulted in increased eff
fciency for the school and better oppor-
tunities for the children.
Farmers are delighted with the plan
that has worked so successfully In the
past and further additions may be made
by taking up one more small one-room
school.
The cashier of the Bank of Cuba states
that within the past few months the bank
has handled over $4,000 worth of cattle
CT ecks which passed through the bank as
the result of sales of milk cattle only.
Beef breeds are being produced in some
quantity in this section and the sum
above does not include the animals sold
for beef. The cattle industry has proven
to be the mainstay of the town and sur
rounding country since the advent of the
boil weevil, and with the growth Of cover
crops for winter feeding, especially burr
clover, the outlook is excellent for still
further expansion of the cattle business.
Some sheep are also being produced in
this section ]. T. Culpepper is today
shearing lot and preparing the wool
for shipment On account of the high
price of that commodity and the success
that Mr.. Culpepper has met with, 1t is
likely that the sheep business may in
crease.
Great relief has been expressed that
the threatened railroad strike was not
allowed to materalize, but the public ap-
pears to be unit in opposition of any
rate increases being given the railways.
Local 1umbermen are banding themselves
together to oppose the same and have al
ready taken up the matter with their rep
resentative in Congress. while vegetable
shippers are said to be preparing strong
protest to Congressman oliver against
any legislation that would tend to in
crease freight rates. There is no local
official of the Farmers union here, but
some farmers have stated that they ex-
pect to make themselves felt If out of
the settlement of the railroad strike any
rate increases are to come.

ONE AMONG MANY

1T is likely that in society ordered
otherwise than our own Lincoln could not
have found himself or the path of fame
and power upon which he walked Sc
renely to his DEATH In this place it is
right that we should remind ourselves OF
the solid and striking facts upon which
our faith in democracy is founded. Many
another man besides Lincoln has served
the nation in its highest places of coun-
sci and of action whose origins were
as humble as his. Though the greatest
example of the universal energy rich
ness, stimulation, and force of democ-
racy, he is only one example among
many. The perm eating and all pervasive
virtue of the freedom which challenges
us in America to make the most of every
gift and power we possess every page of
our history serves to emphasize and il
lustrate. Standing here In this place, it
seems almost the whole of the stirring
story.
HAD BEGINNING HERE
Here Lincoln and his beginning
Here the end and contamination of that
great life seem remote and a bit incred-
ible. And yet there was no break amy
where between beginning and end. no
lack of natural sequence anywhere
Nothing really incredible happened. Lin
coin was unaffectedly as much at home
in the White House as he was here. Do
you share with me the feeling, / won
der that he was permanently at home

der why the beautiful Geraldine Far

Cleo Ridgely appears in a role that
would be hard for any but her to sue

6NIOSE who awaited themselves of
the opportunity of seeing Henry

screen artist of the present day. in
The Birth of Nation" might re-
member that this was one of the few
picture that ever received the plaudits
of the audience. In THE Sting of

Walthall takes the part of captain
or the Confederate side. The audi
ences of yesterday applauded, laughed
and cried, as the story of 1.-The Sting
Of Victory unrolled before them on
the screen. There are few films the
equal of this one. The intense situa-

the Rialton today with dainty Norma
Talmadge in the leading role, is a
screen play that is bound to make any
one take an intense interest in what
is being shown on the canvas. Miss
Talmadge appears at her best in
most difficult part. THE Devils
Needle affords her much opportunity
to demonstrate her ability as an
artist of worth. The situations in this
screen production are unique. They
lack the stereotype ideas generally in
corporated in the screening of so MANY

land any home so remote, so humble,
that it may not contain the power of
mind and heart and conscience to which
nations yield and history submits it's
processes. Nature pays no tribute to
aristocracy, subscribes to no creed of
caste, renders fealty to no monarch
or master of any name or kind. Genius
is no snob 1t does not run after titles
or seek by preference the high circles
of society. 1t affects humble company
as well as great. 1t pays no special
tribute to universities or learned So
cieties or conventional standards OF
greatness, but serenity chooses Its own
comrades, it's own haunts, its own era
die even, and it's own life of adventure
and of training. Here is proof of it.
This little hut was the cradle of one
of the great sons of men, a man of
singular, delightful, vital genius who
presently emerged upon the great stage
of the nations history, gaunt, shy, I'M
calmly, but dominant and majestic,
natural ruler of men, himself ineyita-
bly, the central figure of the great plot
No man can explain this, but every
man can see how it demonstrates the
vigor of democracy, where every door
is open, in every hamlet and country
side. in city and wilderness alike, for
the ruler to emerge when he will and
claim his leadership in the free life.
Such are the authentic proofs of the
validity and vitality of democracy.
MYSTERY OF DEMOCRACY
Here, no less, hides the mystery OF
democracy Who shall guess this secret
of nature and providence and free pol
ity? Whatever the vigor and vitality OF
the stock from which he sprang it's mere
yigor and soundness do not explain
where this man got his great heart that
seemed to comprehend all mankind in its
catholic and benignant sympathy, the
mind that sat enthroned behind those
brooding, melancholy eyes, whose vision
swept many an horizon which those
about him dreamed not of-that mind
that comprehended what it had never
seen, and understood the language of
affairs with the ready ease of one to the
manner born--or that nature which
seemed in it's varied richnes to be the
familiar of men of every way of life.
This is the sacred mystery of democracy,
that it's richest fruits spring up out OF
soils which no man has prepared and in
circumstances amidst which they are the
least expected. This is place alike OF
