"THE sTEpPrNq sT0NE. .

A story that will appeal to hundreds of wives who have unappreciative hus- bands is told in "The Stepping Stone" which is the attraction at the Trianon today, featuring Mary Roland and Frank Keepan. Miss Roland is shown as the accomplishing wife, who, in times of stress, works hard that her husband may succeed in his work, and who, when times are better, is not appreciated by the husband, who wants to discard her. It is an age-old story, but it is so wildly told, and so true to life in some families, that it will prove immensely popular.

A STIRRING tale of the old from "A tier days and of the famous 4 A Seventh cavalry will be told to hundreds of patrons of the Rialto today in "Britton of the Seventh, in which Darwin Karr and Charles Kent divide honors in the leading role as Lieut.. Tony Britton. The story is told in an unusual manner that is sure to please. The first scenes show Lieut.. Tony Brtton at the age of 70 telling tales of Indian fights to his young grandson. The boy becomes sleepy and the old soldier tucks him under the coverlet and, falling asleep, carries his audience back over the years to the time he was 30 years of age and following the flag of Gus ter in the bloody campaigns against the Indians. The stirring scenes of actual fighting, the terrible s'augh- ter of the troops at the hands of the Indians in the famous massacre, make the picture one of the most notable that has come to Birming- ham.

DAVID GARRICK. .

So insistent were the thousands of patrons of the Strand that David Garrick'' be shown at that poular photoplay house at least one more day, Manager Abernethy, perforce, offers the beautiful production to Birmingham again. Dustin Farnum is starred and the play has proved one of the most popular ever shown on a Birmingham screen. It is a Pallas production, and is decidedly one of the most artistic plays ever offered. The costumes alone make the play worth the price to any woman and the plot, so well known as a favor ite in the heyday of the speaking stage, is even more appealing in it's picturized form.

QUALITY ThE MOST ESSENTIAL
THING IN LIVE STOCK

Farm and Fireside, the national
farm peper, says about live stock:
Quality becomes more essential
to profit in livestock farming each
season. When labor, land and feed
were cheap it was possible to realize
profit on live stock Of an inferior
grade, but with the present Sigh cost
of these production factors and con-
slant discrimination on the market
against the scrub it has become evi-
dent that the greatest profit can be
expected only from live stock Of good
quality. 1t may be possible for the
feeder or dealer to make a Profit on
inferior live stock if he Is able to buy
it sufficiently cheap and sell and sell
quickly, but usually someone has not
realized the greatest possible profit
when a scrub goes to market. If it
i, not the feeder, it is the man who
produced the animal"

Clinton Oct. 16.-Mrs. Ellen Doug
las. who sustained froctured skull
yesterday when passenger train, on
the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens
line struck a car in which she was
riding, died here last night at the hos
pisal. AFTER being struck she never
regained consciousness and lived onl3
a few hours. The other eight pas
sengers who were in the car with her
al the time of the accident are badly
bruised but all will probably recover
according to a statement given out
this morning from the physicians IN
charge.
The inquest was held this morning
by Coroner Hairston. There were
several eye witnesses to the accident,
and according to their testimony the
train and car were running parallel
with each other up to the time they
reached the crossing. AS the car
attempted to pass the crossing the en-
CINE caught it on the front end and
completely whirled the machine
around, throwing out all of the oc-
cupants. Had the car been struck
squarely in all probability all nine
passengers would have been killed.
The driver failed to see the train un-
til it was almost on him, and in,-
mediately threw on his brakes but
was caught on the crossing.
The two passengers hurt in the
Seaboard wreck yesterday and
brought here to the hospital are rest
ing we'll and their condition was re-
ported this morning as improving. The
negro fireman who was badly hurt was
carried to his home at Abbeville. The
wreck was cleared last night and after
several hours delay all Seaboard
trains are now running on regular
schedule.
