Many of my correspondents
MI have written in, eager to
49, know about the writing Of
scenarios, and although l have given
little sparks of advice here and there
and have written an article on It,
must go back and build up some
rules for them to abide by.
In the first place, do not submit
a play unless you are quite sure that
YOU have an original novel plot with
characters. cleverly defined, a story
that abounds with sympathetic ro-
nance. which stimulates the magma
ton and is full of logical and rapid
action As l have so often advised.
do not even hope to have your stories
read when they are not sent in type
written. The scenario editors re-
e.ive hundreds of scenarios a day
and they haven't time to read either
very long synopses or hand-written
scripts.
Make your synopsis as short and
comprehensive as possible, so closely
knit together that the reader can Wis
ualize your action and weigh the
strength and sincerity of the story in
his mind. 1t is foolish for the anna
teur to attempt to work out the
scenes, as it takes great experience
to understand the technique of I'M
folding a story in such a manner that
it will be ready to hand over to d.
rector.
But the scenario editors are all cry
ing for new material, new ideas, per-
haps old themes newly constructed
by strong plays; plays embodying
new thought or a new science; virile,
clean plays-not suggestive sex
dramas, which are a menace to the
screen.
1t is always best to make a study
Of pictures on the screen and learn
from the weaknesses and the flaws
you can find in the produced pictures
When you see a good picture, one
which is recognized by the critics
and the public as OF high standard,
study that picture we'll until you real
ize what there is about it that has
made it so pronounced and artistic a
success.
Many Of the stories I have written
have been inspired by these splendid
ly produced pictures, and / felt as |
watched them that somehow or other
! had my finger on the pulse of what
the moving-picture directors as well
as the public wanted

to follow this course unless the Gre

United States, advertising that they

weakest saint upon his knees; the
most powerful defender OF iniqulty
and lawlessness in Tennessee
trembles when he contemplates the
provisions of the custer law ana
calls to mind the fact that its exc
cution is in the hands of Gov. Rye.
This decision is not only victory
for temperance, good government
and civic righteousness, but it is a
tribute to the zeal and devotion OF
Tom C. Rye to the cause whose pan
ner he carried in the last campaign.
It is vindication of the democratic
party; it is a complete answer to the
claim made in the last campaign that
the democratic party was not SIN
cere in its advocacy of prohibition
and law enforcement.
To the old guard Of good govern
ment, who have followed The Herald
in this long and up hill fight from the
very inception of the movement for
cleaner things in Tennessee, The
Herald offers its sincere congratu-
,ations. The victory is theirs; to
them belongs the honor and glory OF
this splendid hour.

IRISH TAYLORGUILT

SEVERAL OTHER CASES DISPOSED
oF-soME CONTINUED UNTIL
THE NEXT TERM.

Martin, alias Irish Taylor, was tried
before the County Criminal Court in
two cases Tuesday, one of selling
whisky without license and the other
of selling whisky within four miles of
public school. He was found guilty
in the first offense, but the jury failed
to agree on the second case.
Gene Hopkins, charged with carry.
ing concealed weapons, submitted and
accepted fine of $50 and costs. Joe
Dawson plead guilty of gaming and
was fined $3.50 and costs.
The following cases were continued
until the next term of court; Frank
Russell, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons; Jenetta Matin,
charged with selling whisky without
license; Riggs Lee Jackson, charged
with selling whisky without license;
Gussie Carpenter, charged with sell.
ing liquor without license.
The case of the State against Ed.
Gordon, for selling whisky without
license, was nolled and the case
against Nan Russell, charged with
giving whisky to minors, was mol
pressed.

JACKSON BOOSTERS

ADVOCATES OF THE PULASKI
ROUTE WILL NOT ACT AT
THIS TIME.

That they might not complicate the
turnpike situation in any way, the
boosters for the Pulaski, Columbia
and Decatur route for the proposed
Jackson highway at their meeting to-
day simply adjourned indefinitely
without taking any action. A meet
ing may be called within week and
it may be longer before there is an
attempt made to hold another ses-
sion. The advocates of this route
felt that in view of the agitation for
the right to condemn and acquire
pixies at this time it would be unwise
to effect any further organization or
do anything that might obscure the
one really important issue to the
county. At the meeting today Roy
Porter, one of the leading farmers of
the southern section of the county,
presided.

A NOTABLE VICTORY.

Another notable victory in the
dong and hard fight for better things
in Tennessee was achieved when on
Saturday the supreme court of the
state held constitutional the custer
act under which is provided speedy
and effective procedure for the re-
moyal Of faithless officials. 1t has
been a long time since this struggle
against liquor and graft, against vice
and lawlessness commenced. Eight
years have passed by since Edward
Ward Carmack commenced the great
battle for the outlawry of the liquor
traffic in Tennessee and final victory
has just been achieved.
Prohibition became the law In
1909 but 1t was not fact in. Ten
uessee until the past year. Then,
under the provisions of the nuisance
act of 1918 and the custer act OF
1915 it was enforced and is being
enforced in the cities perhaps az
well as any law against misdemean
ors.
The custer law is going to prove
q powerful persuader. If there is 9
mayor in the state, great or small
high or low, who does not earnestly
use all of the powers of his Office tC
execute the laws Of the state, 1t will
be an easy matter to invoke the
custer law against him. With q
governor like Tom Rye. earnestly
devoted to the cause of law enforce
ment, The Herald sees already the
end of the lawdefying municipal exc
cutives in Tennessee.
This great decision will give care
less, Indifferent and faithless officials
q more wholesome respect for their
oaths Of Office. 1t is said that the
devil trembles when he sees the

ROAD WORK SHOULD
Be Done At LIVERY
SEASON Ut ltAR
DECLARES ONE OF THE BEST
KNOWN WORKERS OF THE
COUNTY.
STITCH IN TlMt SAVES NINE
r. A. Wilkes, Of culleoka, Makes
Some Valuable Suggestions on the
Upkeep of MISREPRESENTATION In
The County 10 Very Bad.

Almost incessant rains for the past
two months have worked havoc with
the roads of Maury county. From all
sections comes the complaint OF the
condition of the highways, county,
district and toll. With very few
exceptions all of the roads have been
injured by the bad weather No work
has been done on the public roads,
with the exception Of three or four,
in the county during the winter and
mud holes have accumulated with
alarming rapidity.
In some sections Of the county and
on some of the roads 1t has been al
most impossible to haul heavy loads
and in many cases it is hardly safe to
navigate with a horse and buggy
The constant rains, heavy traffic and
the fact that no attempt is made to
keep up the roads during the winter,
when they really need attention, are
responsible for their condition.
Discussing the condition of the
roads, R. A. Wilkes, of Culleoka, one
of the practical road workers OF the
county and the lessee Of the Culleoka
and Mooresville turnpike, declared
that the manner in which we worked
roads in Tennessee reminded him OF
the old story Of the Arkansas traveller,
who did not put roof on his house
in the summer time because then
he did not need one, and in the win
ter it rained so much that he had no
opportunity to put one on.
Mr.. Wilkes pike is one that in the
last annual report of the turnpike
superintendent escaped without crit
icism, and asked why this was the
case, Mrs Wilkes replied: Simply
because patrol my road l work
it whenever and wherever it needs
work. Truly a stitch in time saves
nine, in working roads as well as In
other matters. l guarantee that 1t
does not cost me any more than 1t
would to do the work all in one
season and the results are so much
better. We will never have any sys-
tenn Of roads in this county worthy of
the name until we come to this plan.
If the little mud holes are taken in
time they can be very easily fixed,
whereas il they are allowed to re-
main until spring or summer they
will become expensive jobs. We can
save money and have good roads all
the time if my plan were adopted"
