 A monster production, dealing with two great issues. tainted blood and prohibition. played by a great actor with all the masterful power in his possession. assisted by those who give intense characterization to their respective roles. with a large num- her of people in the various en semble scenes and with scenes true to the times, such is "The Niger at the Orpheum. which opened last night for an engagement of three nights. "The Nigger" perhaps Is the most discussed play of the age. It's subject demands It's importance and it will live long. and that is proof of its worthiness. It is a gripping play. gripping in the sense that it is so human. William Farnum, in the great character of Philip Nor row almost reaches the zenith of his his fllmdom career In both charac- ters. Morrow ST., and Morrow. Jr, he displays the actors training. Not a scene is over done. In the dra- matic climax of the fifth reel when he is called "Nigger" and the fight with his accuser starts, there is just enough of the resentment, the pugnaclous righteous indignation and vehemency expressed. Again when the proof is presented and made clear there is the subtle dawn of truth. the dismay. the anguish. Next to William Farnum is Q character of a colored nanny" which stands out. The character is finished and rounded out completely. Personally I do not care much for the leading woman. hut then. hers is not prom inent character.

LIQUOR CASES GO BEFORE
GEORGIA SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 6.-Arguments
were heard by the Georgia Supreme
Court yesterday in the first cases con-
testing the constitutionality of the
shipping law in relation to liquors
possessed before May l, when the
pr ohibition law became effective.
The cases were those of c. A. M.
Farrell. ]. D. Gurger, w. H. Kracken
and Cortos Lagos, brought from the
City Court of Savannah.
The questions to determine are :
Whether the Governor has power to
convoke the General Assembly in an
extraordinary session while portion
of the regular session is unconsumed;
whether under the limitations of the
constitution upon extra session the
Governor has power to convoke the
Assembly for an object obviously not
emergent; to include more than one
subject in the call, and to make Grim
inal possession of property acquired
prior to the effective date Of the ship
ping act.
Representative Lawrence, of Os-
borne, Lawrence & Abrahams, of Sa-
vannah, and j. J. Bouhan, of Bouhan
& Herzog, of Savannah, appeared for
the plaintiffs. Walter c. Hartridge, So
licitor general of Chatham, appeared
for the state. The high court took the

handed down.

RACING SEASON IN GERMANY
FINALLY CLOSED EVERYWHERE

BERLIN, Dec. with the close of
the racing season nearly everywhere
in Germany it has been found that
the gold pieces which were turned in
at the gates during the summer, in
return for reduced prices of admission,
total about half a million marks.
Whereas the majority of the press at
firse greeted this news as altogether
satisfactory" a portion of the papers,
after thinking it over. have decided it
is altogether disgraceful' to discover
that so large a number of peope abvi-
ously had alphabetically abstained
from turning in their gold until induc-
ed to do so in order to buy amuse-
ment little more cheaply.
Part of the press is thoroughly m
dignant that in these days of appeals
fro mall sources to turn in gold, in
these days of collecting bureaus for
old gold and ornaments, there should
still be so many persons in the empire
who will not be moved by any lessons
to help bring our financial system in
tC consonance with the enormous de-
mands made upon it," This portion Of
the press questions whether the
Reichsbank is right in its policy OF
trying to collect all the gold in the
empire by voluntary surrender.

SAGE TEA Turns
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's GrandmOther's Recipe TO Bring

you evan get this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients for so cents large bottle,
all ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.

brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy and lustrous. This

JAPAN LEADS THE
WORLD IN DIVORCES

TOXIC, Dec. Elm proportion to its
population Japan leads the world in
dicorce, according to statistics just
compiled by government officials. A
great number of separations come
about Immediately after marriage.
Whereas in England the proportion
of divorce is only two to every 10000
marriages and in the United States it
Is 50, in Japan there are no fewer than
173 divorces to every 10000 marriages.
Most of the divorces recorded have
been brought about by mutual con-
sent" and throug the effort of the go
betweens responsible for the original
union. They were accomplished with
out a submission to court or law. Out
Of the $4,000 divorces which were eff
fected between 1883 and 1902 only 400
cases were obtained by law suits.
The divorce report says: This re-
markable state Of affairs is attributed
to the fact that ideas of individual
rights and obligations as we'll as
knowledge and experience of the law
are but scantly developed in the minds
of the Japanese people. But since the
Japanese women are now growing in
the consciousness of their dignity and
rights we hear now and then of cases
of women fighting for divorces in the
courts of law"
In conclusion the report urges stric-
er regulations, pointing out that the
general tendency in the civilized world
is tward gradual diminution of divorce
and that the proportion in Japan is
becoming alarming.
