Veterans Organize to Aid
Government.
(The Ashville N. G. Citizen. }

(The Ashville N. G. Citizen.)
Old? But only in years, the same
az Buncombe wearers of the gray
are these Confederate veterans OF
Mississippi who have organized and
who have offered their services to
the government Years alone count
for SO little, believes j. w. Howard,
OF this city, whose father, Capt. j.
W. Howard, is at the head of the
first company Of Confederate veter-
ans formed for the purpose of aid
ing the U. S. Government, and who
invites the followers of the Stars and
Bars in this city and county to join
with him.
But the story is best told by this
clipping from The Aberdeen Weekly
published in Aberdeen. Miss, and
which was received by Mr.. Howard
yesterday:
"A patriotism that beautifully ex-
presses the love of the veterans of the
old South for the flag of their country
was evidenced in this city Wednesday
In the organization of . company
composed sntirely of Confeder-
ates. The personnel of the officers is
made up of veterans who saw service
under the Stars and Bars and whose
record OF achievements under that
flag Is proud heritage to them and
To US.
This is the first company of Con-
federste veterans that has been or
gsnized.
1.-THE company will offer it's services
the purpose Of doing its bit the rest of
the way through life for q reunited
country.
Veterans anywhere can enlist in
this company by forwarding their
names to Capt. J. w. Howard or J.
f. Houston secretary. Aberdeen"
These men know what war means,
and the same high courage which
carried them through dreadful con-
tiict filled their lives when they re-
turned to their homes and there laid
the foundation for the wonderful
South of today. Were but a few
years taken from shoulders. which
have borne grievous burden, with |
out doubt they would be with those |
crusaders of today who face the
Huns with a bravery and a devotion
without their own records.
But with grievous change in the
manner of war would those followers
OF Lee and Jackson find where the
Hun has placed his hoof. For it
was not their habit. it is recalled by
COnfederates of Buncombe county.
to cruelty men, or to playfully spit
an infant upon long bayonet and |
with the same weapon mutilate the
mother Of the child. Women were
safe where these men acted their
gallant parts in great tragedy, as
were all those not arrayed in the
uniform of the enemy. Surely these
old soldiers must ponder deeply and
wonder greatly at what manner of
men these be who fight under the
banner of the Beast of Berlin, who
has nothing in common, save the
shape OF a man with those leaders
who captained them for so many Il
years. II
Perhaps this is one reason prompt /.
ing the veterans to organize and tol
offer their services to the United
States government. They are old,

DIES AT HIS TEXAS HOME.

Sincere regret is felt in Grenada
over the death of Mr.. L. B. Brown,
father of Mrs. Edgar Underwood and
Mrs. H. j. Ray, which occurred sud-
denly at his home in Bowie, Texas,
on Monday night of this week. Mr..
Brown and his wife had made sew
eral visits to Grenada and were her
several months this past winter. All
who got to know MIR. Brown esteemed
him highly for his cheerfulness of
spirit, for his genialty and for the
milk of human kindness which per-
vaded his whole being. The deepest
sympathy goes out to the family and
especially to the two daughters who
reside in Grenada. These two ladies
left Monday afternoon for Texas to
be present at the burial. They were
accompanied as far as Memphis by
the.-- husbands.

D. w. CRIFFITH'S 'TNTOLER-
ANCE" COMING HERE

In Intolerance" the D. W. Grit
fifth spectacle which is said to be the
most magnificent production of all
time, visual presentation is given of
four different decades-mighty Bah
ylon in the days of Belshazzar, Ju-
dea at the time of the Nazerene, Me-
dieval France when Catherine de
Mcdici dictated to her son Charles
TX, and the present-and throughout
them all is sustained most interest
ingly the motive of the play-Love's
struggle throughout the ages.
Possibly the most stupendously
magnificent scenes are sthose which
representing Belshazzar's famous
feast, disclose a panoramic view of
over a mile of ancient world splen-
dors and architectural wonders
against which disphanously attired
women and picturesquely clad men
stand out in stereoscropic relief.
"Intolerance" will appear at the
Grenada Opera House Friday May TO-.

WONDERFUL COLOR
EFFECTS SHOWN IN
INTOLERANCE"

One cannot view D. w. Griffith's
new colossal spectacle Intolerance"
which is due to appear at the Gre
NADIA Opera House Friday, May 10
without being impressed by the mar
velous coloring Of the various scenes.
Heretofore all attempts at color
photography in connection with the
silent drama have brought very crude
results. Mr.. Griffith by the use of
a prism and double negatives has
succeeded in getting colored effects
never before deemed possible. Some
scenes taken on the appearance of oil
paintings executed by the masters
of art. Others, in particular the
views of ancient Babylon, that most
picturesque of ancient world cities,
present some of the most beautiful
color effect photography in the his
tory of motion pictures. In the Bah
ylonian episode are shown thrilling
battle scenes on and around the
mighty walls and towers of the
stronghold of Belshazzar, the magnifi-
cent, that were photographed after
dark-scenes startling in their nov
elty. their grandeur and their reality.

MISSES CARPENTER AND
STEVENS GIVE RECITAL

The recital given at Grenada Col
lege auditorium on last Monday eve
ming by two of this years graduates
was one of the most thoroughly en-
joyable that has ever been given at
this beloved institution. Perhaps the
popularity of the two graduates had
something to do with the unusual at
tendance. Miss Annie Carpenter of
Bonneville, who has been at Grenada
College for five years and has so en-
deared herself to Grenadians that she
is regarded as zone of them, was one
of the principals on this occasion.
Her beautiful voice was never sweet
er than on this night and the fact
that Grenada will know her no more
lent an element of sadness to the oc-
casion which was hard to dispel. Miss
Carpenter has always been ready
and willing at all times to lend her
aid and assistance to any of the
churches or to any affair gotten up
for any local enterprise.
Miss Julia Stephens is Grenada,
product, the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs I. M. Stevens, and one
of the most attractive of Grenada's
younger set. Miss Stevens has made
quite reputation as musician dur
ing her course Of instruction at Gre
NADIA College. She was awarded high
honor at one of the big musical con-
ventions held at Meridian little ov-
er a year ago. She possesses all the
womanly tributes that made the
women of long ago so beloved togeth-
er with all the modern virtues that
are so beautiful and becoming. Her
playing was most excellent on this
occasion.

DRIVE FOR FUNDS
EXCEPT WAR WORK
MEETING PROTEST
Remark of Church Official Results
in Patriotic Action.

Washington, May 5.-The National
Committee Of Patriotic Societies,
through it's executive bord, issued a
protest today against the attitude of
various organizations in the country
which are taking advantage Of pres
ent conditions to raise special funds
for purposes in no way connected
with the war.
"There is just one matter of i'm
portance to the American people to-
day." the committee said in state
ment, "and that is the winning of
the war. Any organization, religi-
Gus, philanthropic, social or business,
which diverts the interest and finan-
cial support of the people from the
great cause is aiding Germany.
"The government has urged mu-
inequalities to cut their budgets to the
bone and make only the most neces-
sary repairs during the course of the
war; Other organizations should fol-
low the same course"
The appeal resulted from the re-
mark of church official who announc
ed his denomination was to make
drive for the biggest amount it ever
had raised because this is time when
the people are getting the habit Of
giving generously and the raising OF
great sums of money would be easier
than in normal times.

Mr.. w. BRITT DIED
IN ASHVILLE

The news came over the wire
Monday that Mr.. w. Britt had died
that afternoon in Ashville. Mr..
Britt went to Ashville about two
months ago to join his wife in the
hope of recuperating, Mrs. Britt had
been there for nearly year in an
endeavor to regain her health. Mr..
Britt underwent an operation only re-
Gently but went from bad to worse
after the operation. He was reared
some few miles east of Duck Hill and
was one of large family. He had
been a resident of Grenada for about
three years and was held in high
esteem by the community. Wherever
he had lived he was known as the up
right man, as the dependable citizen,
christian gentleman and true friend:
He was about As years of-age and
is survived by his wife and one small
son and three daughters, all of whom
are grown. At this writing (Monday)
his remains are expected to reach
Grenada Wednesday and it is under
stood that they will be carried from
here to the old neighborhood, east
of Duck Hill, for interment. The
Sentinel tenders the sincerest SYM
pathy to the distressed family.

MRS. ISABELLE A. Nc
CALEBB PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Isabelle A. McCalebb died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
j. c. Carothers, in Grenada Sunday
night just before midnight in the 85th
year of her age. Her remains were
carried to Scooba, Miss, the next day,
accompanied by her grandsons,
Messrs. N. j. and A. M. Carothers,
for interment. Owing to the illness
Of Rev. J. G.. Carothers, Mrs. Caroth-
ers was unable to go with the
remains. Mrs. McCalebb was
born in North Carolina and until a
few years ago when she came to make
her home with her daughter, she re-
sided at Scooba. She was a sweet
spirited woman. There was a radi-
ance to go out from her life that made
all who came in contact with her see
more of the real brightness and joy
of the world. So long as she could
she seemed to prefer to minister unto
others rather than have them minis
ter unto her. She was an unosten-
tious Individual and lived the life that
showed that she believed woman's
greatest work was at home. She was
a devoted Christian and met all the
obligations of life in the light of the
Christian religion. She now abides
with the redeemed of earth. The
Sentinel tenders condolences to the
bereft.
