The Three Godfathers

From Peter B. Kyne's great
story, !" The Three Godfathers,
that appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post and was pronoun-
ced, by the editor, to be the best
story the Post ever printed, Blue
bird Photoplays have made a
splendid feature and on Friday,
October 18th, at the Peoples
and Rosemary Theatres the result
will be shown. E. J. LIE Saint
directed the production, using a
scenario by Harvey Gates.
Three bank robbers escaping
from a pursuing sheriff's posse,
find a woman i'll unto death of
childbirth. She is in an abandon
ed prairie schooner" left alone
by her husband who has wander
ed afar in search of the team of
horses, and has perished in a
binding sand storm. The hardy
bandits each pledge themselves
to the mother, before she dies,
that they will rear her baby boy
in the paths of rectitude.
Fifty miles from the nearest
habitation, the sand storm still
raging, and with only the appli-
ances at hand to be expected in
an outfit arranged for overland
travel, the three bandits face a
problem that would stagger al
most anybody. How they keep
the breath of life in the newborn
baby's body constitutes the
most effective picture story o1
recent development.
There is great human interes
in the touching scenes. Al
the story advances two Of tn
triplet of godfathers are seen t.
sacrifice their lives in the ulti
mately successful effort to trans
port the babe to a place where
can be properly nurtured an
cared for.
1t is the unusual devotion G
these rugged men to a helples
babe that brings out the toucl
human interest that will max
THE Three Godfathers" have
strong appeal with every tyl
and class of film fan.

GARLAND E. MIlYETTE
TO SUCCEED kerr
Gov. Craig Defers to Wishes Of
Third Judicial District and
Names Brilliant jackson
Attorney Solicitor

Governor Craig has appointed
Garland E. Midyette, of Jackson,
Solicitor for the Third Judicial
District, succeeding Hon. John
H. Kerr, of Warrenton,
who has resigned after receiving
the nomination for Judge from
the voters of the Third District.
Unlike another famous ap-
pointment, this latest choice Of
the Governor, is certain to meet
with the hearty accord of the
great majorityof the voters of
the Third District. Mr.. Midyette
is a progressive Democrat, an
exceptionally able attorney, and
is very popular with brother
members of the bar and the peo-
pie of the Third District gener-
ally.
Mr.. Midyette will be, of course
a candidate for nomination for
the Office of Solicitor in the COM
ing elections and in the event
that he proves to be the only as
pirant, an event practically GER
tain, the District Executive
Committee will very probably
declare him the party's official
nominee.

new Boiling ROAD
ALMOST A CERTAINTY
Over Five Hundred Dollars Raised
and Several Large Contribu-
tions Still Expected. New
Road Will Cut Off More
Than Mile and Will
Eliminate Two Rail-
roaa Crossings
WILL PROVIDE CEMETERY ROAD

That an improved sand-c'a a,
or gravel surfaced road will b.
built from Roanoke Rapids join
ing the present Littleton- Weldon
road at Boiling is now apractica
certainty. Over five hundred
dollars have been subscribed
toward this road from only q
partial canvas of the business.
men of Roanoke Rapids. Many
of those who will be among the
largest contributors have not yet
been approached and the lro
moters of this road anticipate nc
trouble in raising from 81, 0O0.0 00
to 81, 10000.
The proposed new road will
cut off about one mile of distance
from Boiling to Roanoke Rapids
and will eliminate two railroad
crossings. After its completion
it will be used almost as much as
any road in the county and il
will be maintained out of the
county road funds. The road
board is also expected to con-
tribute toward the construction
of this road.
The advantages to be derived
by Roanoke Rapids from the
opening up of this road are OBJ
vious, for it will provide more
rect CD mmunication with a good
section of country. Cutting off
a mile and eliminating two cross
ings the road will doubtless also
be largely used as a county
road. The town of Roanoke
Rapids will extend Third Street
to join the new road which, al
though not| definitely located,
will certainly pass by the Roa-
noke Rapids Cemetery. The
desire of the Cemetery Associa-
ton to obtain good road to the
cemetery will thereby be graft
fed.
