DON'T like TO SEE
THEIR ACTS PICTURED
"The Birth Of A Nation" Not
True, Says Erudite AT"
torney of the North

THE Birth Of A Nation, u
Thomas Dixon's masterpiece
which has but recently Deeh
picturizod, is held in bad repute
by a learned district attorney
Of New York, who has interVen-
ed to prevent the. showing OF the
picture in that state, saying that
the picture is untrue and an In
suit to the north, and as a re-
suit the matter is hung up in the
courts for a final decision.
THE Birth of A Nation' is
the true story Of the rise and
fall of the Southern Confederacy
from the versatile pen Of Dixie's
most distinguished writer, Rev.
Thomas Dixon, who is one OF
the unregenerated sons OF the
Old South, one who is familiar
with her customes and who
loves her traditions, and in this
work he has but told the truth
which CRATES severely upon the
nerves Of the aforesaid district
attorney. Truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction, and Of
times harsher, too,
Those who have read any of
Mr.. Dixon's works, will have
no trouble in guessing just what
part Of the truths told by this
writer got the goat" of the
district attorney, but for the
benefit Of those who have not
read The Clansman" or THE
Birth of A Nation" we will say
that what hurts the aforesaid
district attorney is the vivid
and true portrayal Of the hellish,
fiendish and rapine rule Of the.
carpet-bagger, following the
close of the war.
The civil war has passee into
history, the brave and generous
souls in blue and gray who
fought and fell under the colors
they loved so we'll are reunited
in a mansion not built by hands
beyond the clouds of battle while
the few remaining veterans of
blue and gray have long ago
shook hands across the blood
stained hills of Gettysburg, but
the rule Of the carpet-hagger in
the South will never be forgotten
or forgiven
Mr.. Dixon's story IS t:ue-too
true-and as a result it is to be
suppressed by one of the very
states responsible for such hor-
rible truth. The writer has
read all Of Mr.. Dixon's works,
has seen The Clansman" and

per cent. of'the appraised value
of the property. The loan must

HOW TO SAY "SALONIKI."

As to saloniki, the people on the
spot put the stress on the CON-" and
make the penultimate syllable short
And in this case the Italians seem
to be at fault, for the spelling in
their newspapers is "Salonicca," and
the Italian double consonant implies
very strong emphasis. Beware,
too, Of Herzegovina when that name
comes forward, as it probably will:
its penultimate syllable is short

girl told Parish she was about to be-
come a mother and begged him TO be
lenient with her, and promising that
after the birth of the child she would
make up for any delinquency. Par
