Douglas Fairbanks is back at the
Triangle today in Manhattan Mad
ness"
This is considered by many to be
the best picture in which Fairbanks
has appeared. The story is of young
man from the west who takes train
load of horses to New York to sell
to the Russian government. Complain
ing that New York life is too tame
for him, his friends prepare a plant
which for the time being gives him
all the excitement he Graves.

DR.. Forman recalled very wildly the
Chicago convention, when the progressive
leader and organizer turned Benedict

He declared Roosevelt politically dead.

REJOICE FOR WILSON
'ePra ctically as a whole, l believe, the
progressives are rejoicing with the DEM
ocrats over the election of woodrow VIII
son. They have demonstrated their In
dependence of vote and cast their ballot
for the man and not the party.
"While there is much speculation in
political circles as to President Wilson
next cabinet, 1 am OF the opinion that
John NJ. Parker of New Orleans, pro
eressive nominee for vice president, will
at least be offered a place In the Presi-
dents cabinet He deserves it, for the
Influence he lent to the election of Pres
ident Wilson, and 1 believe firmly that
he will be offered a place.
Dr. Forman talked at length of Ala
bama politics and showed that he was
thoroughly familiar with the status OF al
fairs in this state in all parties. He has
a line on the republican strongholds OF
the state and claims to have a good idea
of the number of votes that will be
turned to the progressive party. He says
there is no hope for the republicans, and
that the democrats would welcome a
strong party on the independent lines OF
tho progressive platform for opposition.

he was born. He said he always loved
to return here and he found 1t an easy
matter to acquiesce in the request of
Rev. Major to come to Laurens to lead

he took occasion to impress upon his
younger hearers the need Of returning
to the religion of earlier years when
the fathers and mothers Of the pres
ent generation had higher conception
of Christian duty and piety than that
prevailing today.
Services are conducted twice daily,
In the morning at 10 o'clock and in
the evenings at 1880. Rev. Mr.. Major
the pastor, has extended an Invitation
to everyone to attend. 1t has been

Feature.
"Thc Eagles Nest the famous west
crn drama by Edwin Arden, that will
be shown at the Idle Hour Monday is
unquestionably the most popular pho
| toplay Of frontier life ever produced
| 1t not only abounds in thrills, but II
Is a beautiful story, told in a setting
OF boiling mountain streams, rugged
peaks and grewsome canyons-thc
real thing, eince the picture was made
in the Colorado Rockies. A whole
trainload Of Lubin stars were shipped
to the west and in the gorgeous "ar-
folding this powerful story were
made. Real Indians, real cowboys and
real western camp are some Of the
features that give this picture an at
mosphcre that could not have been
initiated on canvas or with artificial
accessories. The popularity Of "Thc
Eagles Nest" is largely due to It's
fascinating local color There's an
attack by Indians on an emigrant
train, for instance, that is a marvel
OF realism. Nothing is left to the
imagination.
"The Eagles Nest" Is gripping since
the author, Edwin Arden, and the pro-
ducer, Romaine Fielding, put typical
western characters into the play to
do the dare devil things they would
do naturally. rather than in conven-
tonallzed 3orm. Sierra Sue is a
page out Of life, a character that may
not be altogether pleasing, but who'll
ly real. In fact "Thc Eagles Nest" is
intended to portray history as 1t was
actually written in the pioneer days,
and 1t is the strict adherence to fact
that makes this play an educational
force, as we'll as a stirring, romantic
story.
The principal characters are Jack

at no crime that will serve his cr1-

Trail is tho hero, daring plainsman

"The Eagles Nest" Is remarkable

oftcner thany any other photoplay in

Williams has repeated to the county

defied the state to prove the crime it is
alleged Williams committed. To the
county attorney Williams maintained
that he was not in Dillon the day of
the murder. Today the county attor-

With between 200 and 225 former
ent, the second annual reunion of the
Albion Seminary Association was held
in the public park at Albion Tuesday,

old and familiar faces, and all had a
grand good time.
Following the assembly and regis
tration, at which all members were
notified that the association would
hereafter meet regularly the second
Tuesday in August each year, dinner
was served at two big tables. Over 100
were served, and enjoyed a good picnic
dinner. Afterwards the crowd made
an inspection trip to the new Albion
school, contrasting strongly with the
old seminary which the visitors had at
tended years ago.
Shortly afterwards the old bell which
had hung in the seminary belfry and
which had been brought out especially
for the occasion, called the pupils to-
gether and a program Of speeches and
music was given. DR.. W. S. Devine, Of

REFUSE TO RELOCATE ROAD.
Majority Of Supervisors Deny Petition
Of Melbourne Farmers.

The petition of farmers of Melbourne
and it's vicinity to have the county
road running north from Melbourne tu
the Lincoln Highway relocated was de-
MED by a majority of the board of SUI
pervisors Tuesday afternoon. Super
visors Lynch and Nichols voted against
changing the road Supervisor Jones
voted to change it. The chief reason
the majority of the supervisors
voted against the change was that the
location of the road had been approved
by the state highway commission, and
that as located the road was about the
right distance from the nearest other
north and south road in that part Of
the county, the road that runs north
out of Rhodes to State Center.
The petitioners asked that the road
be changed to run due north out OF
Melbourne to school No. 5 and then
north to the Lincoln Highway, or east
from school No. 5 to school No. 6 and
then north to the Lincoln Highway. 1t
was claimed by the petitioners that the
road on which it was asked that the
highway be relocated was the best
road, the one most used and was
easiest to keep in repair and improve.
