Fridays pictures: will be OF real ac-
ton at the front, on the firing line

Little Lillian Gish will appear at
the opera house Saturday in Diana
of the Follies.' A dramatic writer
says of Miss Gish: ".She has
unique role in this drama Of the stage
and society. She rises to extreme his
trionic heights in portraying the char
acter of both the society dame ana
the prima donna. Her work in form
er pictures has won her millions of
friends This, is a psychological
theme based on the theory that an in
dividual cannot rise above early en-
vironnents. A millionaire philoso-
pner students falls in love with
musical comedy prima donna. He
tries to give her every social ad-
vantage. but after their marriage MS
wife finds social life beginning to
pail on her and she goes back to her
old-time friends Of the stage. Atter
their child dies the only existing
link between them is broken asun-
der and they both agree that their
marriage has. been a failure.
The methods of unscrupulous min
ing oil promoters to obtain money
from the poor and ignorant are
ruthlessly exposed in the Jesse l..
Lasky production of The Years OF
the. Locust" which Will be shown at
the opera house Monday. with the
beautiful and versatile Fannie Ward
featured. The writer continues: 'Be-
sides this intense element of interest,
however, the production possesses
the romantic value of sweet and
tender love story. In the course
of the production, moreover, Miss
Ward is given ample opportunity to
display her famous wardrobe. and
the costumes and gowns which she
wears run the gamut Of feminine
adornment during the many unusual
scenes of this photoplay, from morn
ing negligee to ball gowns, includ-
ing even the latest Of London rid
ing habits. In Miss Wards support
ingt cast in this Paramount picture
are a number Of distinguished ar
lists. principally Jack Dean. Walter
Long and Charles Ogle."

ElG WOMEN'S MEETING
FAYOklAG PEACE IN VIENNA
Women of Denmark Show Strong
Sympathy for Movement.

Berlin, Via Sayville, Jan. 30-Dis-
catches from Vienna tell Of large wo-
mems mass meetings in favor OF
I'D III the Austrian capital
on Sunday.
Numerous messages were received
y 4r women S associations.
Among the communications read at
IS meetings was one from Dan
ish women, expressing strong SYM
pathy with the movement 1or .}eace.
Several women in speeches discus
sed President Wilson'S senate ad-
dress and his previous moves in be-
half of peace The mass meeting
adopted a resolution in which the wo-
men welcomed numerous peace dem
onstrations and urged the men and
women of the hostile countries "to
tell the world that they, too, want
peace"
The women further urged the gov
ernments and peoples of the neutral
countries, particularly President Will
son whose program for world peace
they fully endorsed, to continue III
the work for peace.
For two main reasons special sig
nificance may be attached to the above
dispatch
1t is the first news transmitted by
the semi-off.eial Overseas News
agency since the outbreak of the war
telling OF a mass meeting in behalf
of peace held anywhere in the Teu-
tonic empires
| M ", The news Of the mass
meeting and the purport of the
speeches tend to show that President
! Wilson's aim, as expressed in his re-
cent senate speech on peace, has been
attained in at least one country In
his speech the president said
Il would fain believe that | am
! speaking for the silent mass of man
; kind everywhere who have as yet had
no place or opportunity to speak their
real hearts out concerning the death
and ruin they see to have come al
ready upon the persons and homes
they hold most DEAR
In the concluding paragraph of his
speech, Mr.. Wilson said:
land they are also the principles
and policies of forward-look;ng men
and women everywhere Thus men,
tioning, probably for the first time in
history in a declaration of this kind

ian friends. II We are to make light
against evil let's be brave. let's be
firm like John the Baptist" of old
when he reproved King Herod for
living i'm adultery with his brothers
wife. notwithstanding his head was
chopped off on request Of the King 5
dausnter and presented to her mother.
Yet he stood as firm as a rock
These are the kind of Christians God
needs here on earth.
Yet our good Christian women than
whom there are no others that We es-
TEEN any higher, will rise up in their
associations and make open and grave
demands upon our law makers, both
State and national against the liquor
traffic of our land when they never
0uen their mouths against the licens-
ing of "lewd houses which means
as many miles to He'll as any other
vice that is being practiced through
out our land.
Yes, my Christian friends, let's
have prohibition, but let's take it out
take the matter back where it be-
longs in the home
Some of our good women are al
most going frantic over woman suf-
frage and l want to say to this class
that we will never reform the world
with our ballots. Reformation must
begin at home and If you women who
are in this class will go to your
homes and spend your time in the
religious training of your children
as you have already promised your
God to do, in less time than twenty
years the reformation will: come not
cnly in the liquor evil but you will
see a general pouring out of Gods
blessings upon our land.
May God help us to pray more and
complain and quarrel less.

on LIQCOR SITL ALTON
Dear Editor Of The Herald and News:

Dear Editor Of The Herald and News:
1t has been raining all day anc
am cooped up in my dear old coun-
ty home. | have been reading and
NV eyes seem tired and the sun may
be shining as bright as morning
star when this comes before the pub
nc, and all of sudden | thought
l would make a change. So | pulled
down my old big five cents tablet
. Well, you can get one like it al
Mayes' Book Store in the face of high
price paper for one little five cents
and it will nod more gossip than
any one human can carry in then
head
But | have started out to try and
interest the public in some particular
and | have not even studied what my
text would be-
But | will promise not to do as
the preacher once did who was in
the habit OF preaching from man
uscTipt. When he arrived at tine
church he found that he had left his
sermon at home so he held his congre-
CATION in silence until he sent home
for his sermon to read. -
Now, wish to say in the begin
ming that when | sit down to write l
have long since made it a rule not
to borrow expressions from others.
| want what l say, let it be ever
so simple, to be original.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you know that 1
am not so young as I once was and
an old mans mind is somewhat like
a kicking mule, it don't. stay >at one
place long at a time, so don't be sur
prised. at my extemporaneous re-
marks. !
Your dear old scribe, "The Idler,'
knows how to sympathize, with me.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, I have been rum
mating over the record of our legis-
lature for the past twenty-five years
and l say it is an everlasting shame
to South Carolina that not a single
session passes but there must be at
least one-fourth of, the time spent
sin wrangling and qusrreling over
tne liquor prODlen.
l have often wondered what do
other States think of our old pal
metto State?" According to the ac-
ton of our law makers they must
surely think that old South Carolina
contains one of the biggest set of drum
kards that ever lived on Gods earth.
You may place me down on either
side of the subject you please, but
believe in viewing things in con-
servative light. And by all means
use good common sense in whatever
you do or say in all things.
I firmly believe that our legisla-
ture is trying to be bribed on both
sides of this subject, but l am not
going down to say that they have
been bribed. l have said in former
articles that We never will have pro-
hibition by legislation and l main
tain that same assertion.
am going first to appeal to the
church. If the church is to stand for
anything it should stand against all
evils, and l frankly admit that liquor
is one among the great evils of our
land.
Here comes what I consider to be
a serious thought upon this subject:
What do you want with prohibition
Do You want it from a money saving
standpoint? Or do you want prohi,
hition from a soul saving standpoint?
The church will have to answer:
We want it from both standpoints.
Then what does the politician wan.
With it? All, he wants it to- make
votes out of it, Now, my dear Christ
