 tolerance will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre for four days en- gagement. starting next Wednesday right. with daily matinees. This is the first and only production MT. Griffith has made since ''The Birth of a Na- tion,' in which he told to the world the true story of the south during the days of the war and reconstruction. In his new offering, Mr. Griffith shows four parallel narratives of four ages of the worlds history. It tells a modern detail which depicts the suffering and adventures of young couple who hap pen to be caught in the whirlpool of so- called social reform. The effort to thwart the law of individual destinies is the force which brings the young lovers and others into sequence of events which engulf them. In this Griffith has shown a keen insight into prevalent conditions and in illustration of his theme has paint ed a picture that will startle the world by it's realism.
 In joining his modern story to ancient events, Griffith has made a wide de- parture from all stage construction of the past. He elaborates upon his original invention of the switchback to flash parallel narratives of the fall of Babylon the advent of the Nazarene into Judea and the Massacre of St. Bartholomew s in Paris in 1872. In each locale he in troduces ana, agous characters to the pro : tagonists of his modern story and shows them swept into the same vortex of in tolerant opinions which are the nega- tive forces in his main theme

USERS INTERESTED

Reports received in Montgomery are that users of graphite throughout the United States have become so greatly interested in the development of the graphite deposits in Clay and adjoining counties that they are planning to con struct plants near the fields In order that they may obtain graphite without the necessity for long hauls. One report is that the Dixon Pencil company will construct a subsidiary plant in Clay county
 In recent months the upward move ment of the graphite market has made it profitable to mine graphite from de- posits which never before have been pror- itable. Corporations carrying a capital stock which had not been heard of in the mining of graphite in this section have been organized recently. It is not unusual for a company with a capital of $So0,000 to give notice of it's incorpora- ton.

CONFERENCE IN MOBILE

William l.. Martin, attorney general, spent Wednesday in Mobile for what persons in his office termed an impor- tant conference. It is supposed the meeting was in connection with the cam paign against alleged violators of the prohibition laws which has been carried on in Mobile county for several days, but those who announced the attorney generals absence stated that they had no information about the subject under discussion.
 Attorney General Martin declined to say what demanded his presence in Mo- { bile. In fact, a short time before his train departed he stated that he had no intention of leaving Montgomery soon.
 It has become known this week that Governor Henderson will approve vouch- CTS for the expense of J.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT. PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or eaIlus so 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pessered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and nll, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug 'house.-adv.
