"THE BIRTH OF A NATION"


This wonderful production-the
triumph of the motion picture art
was shown in Ocala Monday after
noon and night to the largest audi
ences ever assembled in this city.
Miss Annie Rankin in the Southern
Woman's Magazine has truthfully said
that no cizilized nation ever had its
birth except in blood and courage
that on the service and self-abne-
cation of it's dying soldiers rises the
fabric of each new country's life It
seems impossible to fathom and ana
lyZe this instinct that holds u.s. We
only know that fame of courage and
devotion leaps to meet the flutter of
flags, the rolls of drums and the
rhythmic tread of feet.
AS no other nation in history the
COnfederacy was rocked in the cradle
of war all of which is depicted with
thrilling grandeur and pathos in The
Birth of Nation"
The picture begins in tranquility
when some northern relatives pay a
visit to their southern relatives on a
cotton plantation in South Carolina.
The wires fash the election Of Lin
coin, the southern states secede there
comes a separation of the visiting
kinspeOple but the mystic thread e
love runs through the story which
lends charm of romance and intens-
itv TO it.
In his description of it Mr.. Ed. Lam
bright of the Tampa Tribune says:
1.-THE Birth of a Nation" is United
States history vsiualized on the
screen, with special application to the
period of the civil war, showing the
causes and conditions which led to it,
the manner in which was fought, won
and lost, the heroic figures as well as
the despicable ones that arose in that
conflict the dark days which followed
in the south, when the white integrity
of this section struggled against ex-
tinction and when the white manhood
of the south was compelled to resort
to otherwise unlawful and inexcusable
methods to preserve inyiolate its
racial and it's family virtue The vari
Gus developments of the reconstruc-
tion period furnish the most vital
parts of the picture and these things
are depicted with strong, bold hand,
just as the most authentic historians
and chroniclers tell us they occurred.
Then we see the clouds of sectional
ism lifted and the conclusion of the
cnderful spectacle brings us to the
reunion of north and south, in the
glorious reconstruction of all sections
to the love and service of the nation"
s beautiful tribute is paid to Abra-
ham Lincoln and the cause for the or
ganization of the Ku Klux Khan is
graphically given. The purpose of the
picture is to present the side of the
south in the fratercidal conflict and
especially after the fate of the south
ern cross was sealed at AppomatoX
The assassination of Lincoln, the
surrender of Lee and other we'll
known and thrilling incidents are
given as near as it is possible as they
actually occurred. The picture ends
with the nation united with nothing
more TO cause a separation and in the
lnguage of Daniel Webster, Liberty
and union, one and inseparable, now
and forever, "

FOREMAN IS OFFERED
 BRIBE FOR JOB; MAN
 IS HELD UP TO SC0RN
Local Boss Who Hires Many Men Tells 'Rustling Miners that He Hires Men on Merit Not on Bribe.

Typical of the bosses in the War ren District is the action of a fore man. in the employ of the Calumet & Arizona mining company, yesterday morning when he caused the removal of man from the property because the latter attempted 10 bribe him for work.
 It would appear that a man had "rustled" for several days with little chance. For men were being put to work at the mine. Finally he took -sn envelope and. addressing it to the foreman. had the watchman hand it to him
 Yesterday morning the man was nearer the front and the first thing the foreman did was to ask him to stand out so the others could see him. He then produced the envelope and took S10 bank note out of it.
 He told the men who were looking for work that he was not to be bribed for work: that when he wanted men he selected them regardless of their looks. except as miners. and he point ed with shame to the man who had made the attempt to buy job for S10. Undoubtedly. after the experience yes terday, few efforts will be made to bribe any of the Warren District fore man or bosses.
