erfully surpassing all former achieve ments, the tremendous resources of the Universal have produced a serial so unique, so extraordinary, so startl- ing in every episode as to throw the attempts of all other serial producers in the background. In "The Adven- lures of Peg O the Ring," featuring Grace Cunard and Francis Ford, all the gutter and glammor of circus life in this huge production, make grip ping appeal to every man, woman and child. "Peg O. the Ring" is serial of the circus. With all the circussy feelings. Besides the two greatest serial starts of the world, Grace Gun ard and Francis Ford, are seen Null and Aldo, premier acrobatic perform CTS of the Sells-Floto circus, Kid Kin nard and Abe Aaronson formerly with Haggenback Wallace shows, whose side splitting stunts have convulsed millions with, laughter and who are the originators of the Hunting the rabbit" stunt, and the famous Wilson Troupe, tight rope experts.
 No regular admission will be charged but a free will offering for benefit of the public library. You can give anything from one cent to one dollar.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Today-"The Strange Case of Mary Page" "There is absolutely no com parison between the attire required on the stage and that needed in mo- tion pictures" declares pretty Edna Mayo, Essanay star, who played op- posite Henry B. Walthall in s"The Strange Case of Mary Page" .In the ordinary stage production the6leading woman rarely appears in more than three or four different dresses. That would be impossible in the usual five reel picture, where an actress wouldn't dare use less than dozen different costumes. 1 frequently have changed twenty times for feature play and in "The Strange Case of Mary Page" I used upward of 150 diff ferent frocls and suits. On the stage an actress can go through an entire season with less than a dozen gowns, while in the film one requires that many for a feature picture of which not more than few weeks is required in the staging. Woe to the film ac- tress who hopes to repeat with the same gown. The women will note it immediately"

WILL SERVE TWO YEARS
 FOR ATTACK ON WIFE
Dan Morgan Pleads Guilty to Charge Of Assault With Intent
 tO Kill.

The attack of Dan Morgan, negro, on his wife, Bessie Morgan. on April was not an April fool" joke. Dan himself admitted as much yesterday in the circuit court when he pleaded guilty to a charge of assault to kill, and was sentenced to serve two years in prison. Two other indictments against Dan, one charging assault with intent to kill upon Nathalie Blackwell and the other charging carrying a pistol, were dismissed by Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Parham.
 John Morton was acquitted by a jury of charge of burglary, the al- legation being that he had entered the smoke house of Wash McCrew, Sr., near Wabbaseka about January 2, 1916, and made off with some meat. Following his acquittal by jury. the prosecuting attorney dismissed an in- dictment, charging Morton with petty larceny in connection with an alleged second visit tos McCrew smoke house.
 NJ. J. Hall was eXOnerated of a charge of cutting timber on the prop erty of Demitt Hope. The offense is felony. The jury found that Hall was not guilty.

THE LOCAL ELECTIONS.

It is the very fine theory of repre- sentative government that the best men will be chosen, competent to perform certain functions required of them as representing those who vote for them. They are supposed to be chosen as delegates to speak for. those who so support them.
 Between theory and practice in this as in many more godly lines, there is wide line of cleavage and never could this have been more re markedly demonstrated than in the election just closed here.
 It is not held that the successful ones, all of them are unsuited and unequal to the task which theory has allotted them. But it is held that not for that reason were they chosen.
 In no election were the people so kept in the dark asto the intentions, policies, aims or. purposes which the candidates had in view. There was no effort to discover the popular sen timent and discover also if it attun- ed harmoniously with the candi- dates individual views. The candi- dates stood before the public as men emasculated of any such thing as private or public individual views, and sought votes not by reason oi their sympathetic opinions but by reason of their personal popularity pull, position or privately expressed opinions.
 l It is not in evidence that any such thing as special ability, special qua lifications, special experience had iI any way rendered those who .sough, the suffrages, particularly, men who should be sent to Juneau. On the contrary there was quite notice able effort made to avoid any un- due publicity or any too intense sub. mission to the limelight of public criticism. Votes were canvassed with systematic zeal not in the open but sub rosa Not for any pOlitica
 or economic qualification but be
 cause of personal. grounds.
 Some of the votes cast betray {

some of the candidates that IL reaches the amazing. It has been said that there is no accounting for tastes. But in this election there neither taste nor judgment nor com mon sense evidenced in good many instances, and upon the part of good many.
 This is said with the friendliest feeling and with an impartial can dor wholly devoid of any bitter ness. It is humorous condition that the only absolute certainty about politics is that the fittest sci dom survive. That it may cause some consolation to the defeated ones to salve their souls with this degree of fattering unction may be justification. for an expression or too candid an opiinon. As it is we should worry. Men have condemned Wickersham for not enlarging the scope of the territorial government bill. Those who failed to receive the endorsement of the 5 -cond Divi- sion electorate can console them selves with the very good reason that it was because the Delegate had no very enlarged notion or the fitness of some possible choices to legislate on any suhsect from dog pounds to fish traps.

Five Million Votes for
Prohibition Is Slogan

indianapolis, August S-The slogan OF
five million votes for preparedness
year. was adopted today by the party
leaders assembled for the double notifi-
cation of j. Frank Hanly, former repub-
lican governor of Indiana, for President
and DR.. Ira Landrith for vice president
Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chicago, the
temporary chairman at the notification
ceremonies, predicted that 100000 voters
will be reached before the end of the
campaign. The speakers admitted they
do not expect the election of the party S
candidates, but all asserted they hoped
the vote to be so heavy this year that
the submission of a prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution will re-
suit. They predicted such action by 1920
or sooner.
The notification ceremonies were held
on the lawn at Mr.. Hanly's home, be-
tween showers. Sumner w. Haynes
of Portland, Ind, was chairman.
The declaration by Mr.. Hanly that he
opposed the plank in the party platform
favoring the initiative, referendum and
recall, was received in silence. All his
other declarations were applauded, espec-
tally his condemnation of the Mexican
policy of the administration. His remarks
that the outcome of preparedness may
be militarism for this country, in its
worst form, if the apparent spirit along
that line is not curbed, also evoked ap-
plause
The ceremonies closed tonight with a
public rally at which Mr.. Hanly end DR..
Landrith were the speakers.

Dyes to Remain on Free
List Until After War

Washington, August S.-Democrats Of
the Senate finance committee agreed to
an amendment to the revenue bill today
deferring the effective date of the pro-
posed protective tariff on coal tar dye
stuffs until the close of the European
war. War conditions are acting as a pro-
lection against imports now, the commit
teemen held, and will serve to encourage
manufacture of dyestuffs, as effectively
as protective legislation. Coal tar medici-
nal derivitives were added to the dutiable
list and a proposal to admit all coal tar
products free of duty until the close Of
the war was made and is being con-
sidered
Final action on the munitions section
of the bill was deferred in order to fur
Their consider an amendment to levy the
proposed excise tax only upon manu-
facturers of munitions who have dealt
and are dealing with various European
nations, instead of on various manu-
featured products, which are classed as
munitions. Whether the committee would
agree to the change had not been de-
termined tonight

COLONEL TUNSTALL
DIES AT ADMISSION
Well Known Throughout State and
Foremost Citizen of Greensboro.
Formely on Railroad Commission

Greensboro, August S-(Special)
Greensboro was shocked today when a
telegram announcing that Colonel Wiley
most prominent citizens of this section,
had died this morning in Admission at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Richard
Cobbs. Though Colonel Tunstall had been
in poor health for several months, his
death was distinct surprise to his friends
here in his home town. His son, Alfred
M. Tunstall, was called to his father
bedside, arriving in Admission yesterday
Colonel Tunstall was for years mem
Der Of tho railroad commission. and one
of the most widely known and foremost
politicians of the state. The body will
be brought to Greensboro for burial.
Admission, August 9.-(Special.)-The
body of Wiley C. Tunstall, former mem
Der of the Alabama railroad commission
and one Of the foremost public men OF
Alabama, who died at the home Of his
daughter, Mrs. r. H. Cobbs, Jr., in this
city Tuesday morning, was sent to his
home at Greensboro in a special car at
tached to Southern passenger train NO.
Ii Wednesday morning at o'clock.
Mr. Tunstall was born in December,
1889, at Greensboro, being n years old at
the time Of his death. Few men have
lived a more eventful life than did he.
and few men did more for his state dur
ing the trying reconstruction days of the
seventies.
When the war broke out, Mr.. Tunstall,
when young man, enlisted at Tusca-
loose in the Fifth Alabama, under Gen.
|R f. Rhodes. The Confederate records
show that he was a courageous soldier,
and his merit won him successive pro-
motion.
After the war Mr. Tunstall recognized
the need of brave men in the state was
greater than ever. His agricultural in
terests at Greensboro was large, but feel
Ing that the state needed his service
he threw himself into politics, and all
thorugh the seventies worked faithfully
to wrest the domination of the state
from negroes
During his years of great activity for
the interests of the state 1t is said he
could have had any office in the state in
tho gift of the people, but modestly de-
clined all such honors until he was finally
pressed into accepting place with the
states railroad commission, where he
served several years.
He came here several weeks ago. ac-
companied by his friend and companion.
Capt. Cad. Jones Of Greensboro His
death was not unexpected.
He is survived by Wiley G. Tunstall,
Jr, Calhoun county solicitor; Alfred M.
Tunstall, a lawyer of Greensboro; Mrs.
George Searcy Of Tuscaloosa. Mrs. George
w. Graham of Charlotte and Mrs. r. HI.
Cobbs Jr., Of this city.

DREAD EPIDEMIC
GROWING WORSE
Since July 1 S4S Have Died
From Infantile Paralysis
in New York

New York, August S.-Further spread
of the epidemic of infantile paralysis in
Greater New York, and the heat wave
which has gripped the city, caused the
health department today to tighten its
quarantine regulations and to adopt meas
ures seeking increased vigilance on the
part of those responsible for the detec-
ton of the disease.
Several persons who have recovered
from infantile paralysis today volunteered
to give quantity of their blood to be
used in the preparation of serum, the
use of which is said to have proved bene-
fetal to sufferers
A report issued by the health depart
ment shows that of S4S persons who have
succumbed to the disease, since July /,
6S5 were under 5 years of age.
