Mission Romance
At Vining Friday

Ramona" the novel, is so deli
cate in its touch and so subtle in its
psychology that no successful stage
version of it was ever made. until
w. H. Clune conceived and executed
his idea of photoplay to be exhibit
ed at the Vining Theatre Friday, jan
uary 4.
The success of this stage produc-
tion in the new style of art, in such
critical centers as Los Angeles, New
York and Chicago, is all the more
remarkable in view of 81 distinct
failures in the older style of drama
laid at the door of Helen Hunt jack
sons romance of California and the
Mission Indians.
The spectator of Ramona" as re-
produced by Mr.. Clune, will see rem
nants of vanishing race as they act
ually are, and not the wild west"
Indian as depicted by the general run
OF writer's, or the more poetical crea-
tions of Fenimore Cooper. The wild
west Indian of the popular imagina-
tion may he seen occasionally on the
streets of New York, going-to and
from the Hippodrome, or some other
playhouse, but never on the plaips of
California or Utah. The inventions
of Cooper are forgivable in that he
idealized the Indian into an artistic
fliterary creature. Cooper's imagina-
tion was of the order of Sir Walter
Scotts. Scott took the rough semi
savage of Angle-Saxons of the days
of Richard | and made of them
knights and ladies such as haunt
poets dreams. Similarly dealt Coop
er with the red savage of America

Methodist Day.

1t was happy day for the Meth
odists of Ashland on New Years day,
when they gathered together for their
annual New Years dinner. Almost
three hundred men, women and chill
dren sat down to a sumptuous chick
en- dinner, with everything delicious
that goes with it. From II until 8
o'clock the tables were filled and re-
plenished, until everyone had been
amply cared for. During this time a
general social time was had and
hearty greetings of Happy New
Year" were heard on every hand.
After the dinner came a brief pro-
gram. Mrs. H. T. Elmore and Mrs.
Julia Hockett sang to the delight of
the party, and the Misses Doherty
played a piano duet which was great
ly enjoyed. Rev. NJ. c. Reed and the
pastor gave brief addresses, after
which the people were dismissed, all
feeling that a real delightful home
day had been enjoyed. This was the
twenty-fourth occasion,

capt. H. NJ.
Came to Bamberg Once.-Story Only
His Own Inauguration.

Many Bamberg people will recall
that last year some time one H. NJ.
Laurene, self-styled, spent several
days here, and they will doubtless
recall the remarkable story he told
about himself. 1t has been told in
Bamberg on more than one occasion
that he had been shot for a German
spy, and other stories about Capt.
Laurene" have been told. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the "captain' is
still in the land of the living, even
though his veracity seems to have
sustained serious impairment. In
view of his visit to Bamberg, no
doubt the following from a recent
issue of the Pee Dee (Bennettsville)
Advocate, will be read with interest
here:

HOOP SNAKE KILLS DOG.
And Wounds Two Others Near Hick.
ory, n. C.-Has Horn on Tail.

The Hickory Record prints the fol-
lowing story:
Messrs. Oscar and Mack Hefner
Saturday afternoon killed a hoop
snake after it had killed a small dog
and struck two hounds with its
horn and caused them much suffering.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Oscar Hef-
ner went to the place where the hoop
snake had been killed and there
found a black snake with half of the
dead reptile swallowed.
DR.. Henry Abernethy related this
snake tale and later it was confirmed
by Mr.. Oscar Hefner, o Of Mr..
Pierce Hefner, who lives near Ca
tawba.
AS the young men were working
in the feldN Saturday afternoon three
dogs struck a rabbits trail and were
running it. Across the corn field
they ran and into the hoop or horn
snake. The reptile coiled into a roll,
with it's two-inch horn projecting
from it's head, and struck out after
the dogs. 1t hit a small dog in the
chest and the wounded animal ran
about 25 steps before falling dead.
The snake struck two other dogs but
the poison was emitted with the first
stroke.
The horn is located in the tail and
as the snake runs it winds itself in
to a ball, with the horn ~protruding,
and strikes with much velocity.
Mr.. Hefner said he went to view
the dead snake Sunday afternoon
and there saw the black snake swal-
lowing it. He killed the black rep
tile.
Horn snakes are not supposed to
be in this part of the country, but
have been seen many times in the
mountains. A fine Caldwell lady,
seeing in a northern paper a denial
of the existence of such a reptile,
offered to send one if the paper
would send a gallon of alcohol as
preservative. The paper declared
she wanted to get a gallon of liquor,
and her interest in horn snakes has
Uaned since that time.

wishes, very truly yours,
R. A. COOPER.

Newberry, S. c., May 10th, 1918.
Dear sir:-I received yesterday af-
ternoon, on my return home after
several days absence, your letter of
4th inst. l felt pretty sure that there
has not been a Miss Sarah E. Pope
in Laurens county within the last
sixty years or longer. But I have.
consulted Mrs. Paul H. Anderson (nee
Sarah Strother Pope, niece of the
late Chief Justice Pope and daughter
Of the late DR.. Sampson Pope; and
she agrees with me. So we think
Capt. H. NJ. Laurence must have
for a mother some one other Miss
Sarah E. Pope, of Laurens.
But, in order to do the claimant
all the justice in my power, l n
about to write to DR.. D. S. Pope, Of
Columbia, brother of Chief Justice
Pope, concerning the matter; and I
shall request him to write you his
knowledge or opinion of the matter.
F~raternally yours,
J. F. J. CALDWELL.
Mr.. R. l.. Freeman, Bennettsville
s. C.
We have not heard from DR.. Pope.
We have other reliable information
that Capt. Laurene has been investi-
gated by the United States depart
ment of justice, on Suspicion that
Capt. Laurene was a German spy. The
department found that his real name
is not Laurene and that he has never
been to France or Turkey. His story
is made up from his own imagina-
ton. Since, however, he is not do
ing anything against the government,
he is not molested.

FOCH BEGINS WIDE MOVEMENT.
Huns Will Be Pounded Mercilessly
Until Winter Sets In.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Interpret-
ed at first as a local operation, in
tended primarily to enable the Allies
to retain complete possession of the
initiative on the Picardy front, the
rapidly developed success of the
French east of the Disc tonight was
accepted by many military officials
here as a definite and full prepared
effort paving a specific part in the
larger s%trategetic plans of Gen. Foch.
Latest advices tonight describing
the advance of the French tenth az
my for two and one-half miles on a
front of more than fifteen miles was
taken by experts here as conclusive
evidence that the major plan of the
Allied generalissimo, the Inaugural
ton of which came with the attack
upon the right flank of the Rheims
Scissors salient, is far more COM
p~rehensive than has been supposed
in most circles. 1t is believed now
to include a series of actions which
will occupy every moment until the
arrival of winter rains makes the
plateau of Picardy and the plains of
Flanders impossible for large troop
movements.
Most observers agree that the i'm
mediate object of Gen. Foch's forces
appeared to be the picking" of the
Roye pocket, with the subsequent
control Of the important supply lines
between that city and Noyon. For the
larger objective toward which efforts
of the Allies are being bent was seer
the capture of Noyon and a result
ant breakdown of the German de-
fensive line over a front of scores
of miles.
Activities of the British east of
Arras, around the Merville sector, are
thought to be linked up with this
larger plan. Not a few s%trategists in
army circles foresee in the near fu-
ture a more important thrust by
these forces, completing the cycle ol
offensive from Rheims to the sea.

Exclamation of Chart.)

Since 1913 farmers. have been re-
ceiving for their wheat a gradually
increasing proportion of the price
paid by the consumer for bread. The
amount received by the wheat grow
er for his contribution to the aver
age pound has increased from less
than 1 1-2 cents per loaf in 1913 to
more than 3 IL cents early this year.
The proportion to the whole price
is shown by the relative length Of the

MESDAMES HARDIN AND DAYI-
SON WILL SPEAK FOR WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN.

Mrs. Melville Hardin and possibly
Mrs. Beaumont Dawson, of Atlanta,
will speak in Dawson on the evening
of Nov. II to help boost the drive
for the united war work fund. These
representative Georgia women have
a worth while message, and are Civ
ing their time as well as money to
help in all patriotic work.
The people of the county are in
vlted to hear these speakers, who will
come full of the subject of the vitality
important war measure now pending
and glad to give themselves in any
service that will help to put it over
in way that will bring credit to our
county and state.
After her appointment as chairman
Mrs. NJ. H. Harper, with characters
tic energy, entered at once upon the
work of organizing the women of the
county for the war work drive, and
has met with every encouragement in
her patriotic efforts. She systemat-
ically took up the task of getting
her forces lined up for effective can
vassing, and all those to whom she
has had opportunity to make personal
appeal have responded enthusiastic

GRAY HAIR BECOMES,
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make It at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Q Everybody uses
this preparation now. because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. @
