At The Grand Opera House Tonight.

The moving picture taken in Cam
bridge, Nov. Sth, will be shown to-
night and tomorrow night, at the
Grand Opera House. The movie is
the famous MILES of Smiles" taken
by the Baltimore Sun and the Even
ing Sun. and which will be shown to
our soldier boys in France before
Christmas. The pictures were shown
in Baltimore last week and started a
new fad The Baltimoreans found
great delight in seeing themselves
smile and then hunting for their rel
atiVes and friends on the film. They
whooped with delight when some par
licular person OF group, in which
they were especially interested, fash
ed on the screen.
The people in Cambridge tonight
and tomorrow night Will have an
opportunity that Robert Burns, the
poet. longed for, but did not get.
They can see themselves as others
,ee them.
When the boys come marching
home, they will discuss the picture
taken in Cambridge They will tell
he folks in the home town what de-
light was given them at Christmas
when they saw their mothers, faith
ers, sisters, brothers and sweethearts
flashed before them somewhere in
France. They will be disappointed
if their relatives say they did not see
the picture. You will feel great
pride when you tell your soldier that
you saw the picture in Cambridge be
fore he did over there.
In addition 20 the pictures taken
in Cambridge. pictures taken during
the great peace celebration in Balti-
more will be shown, as we'll as those
taken in Easton and Salisbury You
all read about the crowds that turn
ed out in Baltimore when the armis-
tice was signed. Now you will have
the opportunity of seeing it as it
happened. The camera missed none
of the sights in Baltimore and it
missed none of the Cambridge folks
Salisbury approved of the picture on
Saturday and the Arcade Theatre,
where the film was shown, was crow
ded all afternoon and evening.
The parade of the Cambridge folks
is wonderful. You all remember the
banners and pictures of our famous
men which you carried in the pa
rade. They are all on the film. This
most probably will be the first op-
portunity you ever had to see your
selves as movie actors 1t might al
so be your last. The pictures will
be at the Grand Opera House tonight /
and tomorrow night only.-Adv. /

LIEUTENANT TODD TELLS

Lieutenant Dorsey Todd. OF this
city, has written very interesting
letter to his mother, in which he de
scribes the scenes that took place
following the signing OF The armls-
tice. The letter follows:

Dearest Mother:
Yesterday was some day, mother.
The Germans signed the armistice
and everyone celebrated. In fact.
celebrated is not hardly The right
word They Just took the town

The armistice was signed around II
O'Clock yesterday morning, and we,
or rather the town, got the news at
Il O'Clock; then flags began to ap-
near from the houses, both American
and French flags. In the afternoon
people began to throng the streets,
hundreds of small parades took place,
our band was down there, with the
French Cavalry Band, and things be-
gan to hum. Last night l had date
with my girl but went around early
in the evening and cancelled it, de-
Gliding to take in the big night.
Some night, mother; some night.
The streets were jam-packed, fire
works, with sky-rockets, were DIS
played all along the streets; con
tinuous yelling and whooping every
minute, some one would start pa
rade, and it would continue to grow
until it was composed of old French
men and women, American soldiers,
from Generals down to privates; girls
of all descriptions, and French soldi-
ers, some with their faces all ban
daged up, some with wooden legs,
most all of them drunk. In fact,
most everyone was drunk, women
and all. 1t was the funniest sight
you ever saw, and it made my heart
leap with joy, and to appreciate just
how the French people felt, after
four long years of war. never saw
anything like it before; it was
great sight. 1t reminded me of Hal

the street, grab a girl and prone

French were crying in French, Long

happy as a pig; honestly, it was
great.
Have been thinking of the big
time they must have had in the
States yesterday. You must write me
all about it. Isn't it great, mother,
that the old war is practically over,
and within a short time we will be
together again 1t is too good to be
true. OF course, there is a lot to be
done yet, just heaps and heaps OF
work, and you must not think that L

after, but that l am on the road,and

Mayoralty Fight Gives
Promise Of Thrills

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 2S.-The dis
cussion of the proposed candidacy OF
Mayor Preston for nomination early
next year, is arousing no little acrl-
mony. and the opponents OF the Ma
yor, and they are many in number
and potent in influence, are not
sparing words in their campaign
against him. Indeed, the contest has
already reached the warm stage ana
before long the indications are that
il will be more than red hot in the in
tensity with which it will be waxed.
And in the forefront of the people
who have taken up arms against the
Mayor is Mr.. Frank Z. Furst, backed
by other individuals and forces OF
only less influence and weight IN the
community. Trow it will turn out,
cannot be foreSeen. Many who are
usually accurate in making political
representations, insist that Mr.. Pres
ton will in the end retire before the
storm, while others who are well ac-
auainted with the Mayors personal
characteristics, predict that he will
hold on to the final battle at the pri-
maries, and that nothing Will please
him better than an old-tashioned.
rough and tumble fight for the noml-
nation.
The opponents of the Mayor are
candidate to make the fight in his
party against him. Only man OF
prominence and we'll known energy
and ability will be able to fill the
place. and most of those who have
been approached recoil from a fight
with such redoubtable scrapper as
the Mayor. To put up any sort OF
vigorous fight against the Mayor re-
quires more than mere courage; 1t
will require constructive ability OF
the highest sort, and an unspotted
personal and political character. 1t
will also require reputation for
party regularity OF the strictest sort,
for one of Mr. Furst's strongest
cards against the Mayor is the fact
that he has not always been regular
in supporting the party candidate
and especially that he aided greatly
in securing the defeat of David j.
Lewis when he was the regular Dem
ocratic nominee for the United States
Senate two years ago. And Mr.. w.
Babel Bruce, who is the latest dis
tinguished person named as a posi-
BILE opponent of the Mayor, has about
as bad a record for party regularity
as any prominent man in Baltimore,
and has probably as often bolted his
party nominees as any man in Mary
land In fact, Mr.. Bruce has been
conspicuous not only as a bolter of
party nominees, but has always rank
s. AIU usss~S - esHv
Preston on account of his party ir-
regularity in a contest with Mr..
Bruce, would thereby make the whole
affair ridiculous before the people of
the State. The chances are, there
fore, that Mr.. Bruce will not be
chosen, although it is believed that
he is the one man who has been men
toned who is willing to make the
fight.
Among the Democratic POSSIBLE
ties for the nomination for the Gov
ernorship. it must not be forgotten
that the present able Comptroller of
the State Treasury, Hugh A. McMul-
len, of Allegany county, is mentioned
perhaps as often as any other man.

TRAGEDY ON THE STREETS
Believed to be Result of Some Person

! Hartsville, March IT, Hartsville
was saddened and shocked TODAY when
Ihe news OF an awful tragedy was
broken on the Sabbath stiffness, Chief
of Police John o. Folsom was shot and
Instantly killed on the street near the
building in which is located the Of
flee of the Pedigreed Seed Company.
The slayer, J. H. Gulledgc, oversecr of
the farms of J. l.. Coker Co., made a
confession and surrendered himself in
to the hands of the authorities, and
was taken to Darlington and turned
over to Sheriff Register.
! The killing occurred between 9:3O
and 10 o'clock this morning and, as
there is little passing on Sunday on
the street on which the tragedy oc-
Cured, nothing is known as to what
happened or what words were passed
between the two men prior to the
shooting.
Took Automobile Ride
| 1t appears that Mr.. Gullcdge met
up with Chief Folsom at the fire de-
partment headquarters and that the
two rode off together in the chiefs
car. Parties had seen them passing
just a few minutes prior to the kill
ing: Some personal trouble, unknown
to the public, it is thought, must be

The body of Mr. Folsom was found
on the ground, face down, by the au-
tomobile. The door of the car was
open. 1t is not stated whether the
fatal shots were fired while Mr.. Fol
som was at his steering wheel or as
ne was alighting from the car. Par
ties hearing the shots, it is claimed,
stated that there were four shots fired
at close range. On going to the scene
they found life extinct.
Inquest Held
The body was removed to within
the Pedigreed Seed Company's build
ing and the inquest was held, begin
ming at 1890.
MIR. Folsom was elected chief of DO
lice several ronths ago, to succeed R.
II. Kirkpatrick, deceased, and was
generally liked. Mr.. Gullcdge came
here few years ago from Pageland
and has been employed by J. L. Coker
d. co. as an oversecra under G.. II. Ell
lis, general superintendent of farms.
On the removal Of Mr.. Ellis to Gcor-
gla MIR. Gullcdge had his responsible
ties increased. He was quiet and we'll
liked by his employers. The tragedy is
much deplored. The dead man leaves
a wife and two married daughters. Mr..
Gulledge has a wife and three small
children.

Modern methods of poultry housing
make due allowance for the capacity
of domestic birds to withstand low
tempcra lures and for the ADVANTAGE
OF ample ventilation in the poultry
house. Except in extreme northern
sections, or for breeds Of fowls having
very large combs, it is no longer con-
sldercd necessary to build houses so
substantially that when they are
closed the cold is excluded and the
temperature in the house appreciably
raised by the heat from the bodies
of the birds.
The system Of tight, warm houses,
once very popular, was based upon the
idea that to have hens lay in cold
weather they must be kept in houses
where water would never freeze. The
methods of housing now most widely
approved and used are based upon the
experience of many poultry keepers
that egg production is more stable and
the hens keep in much better condi-
ton when the house is built and used

that the combs of hens accustomed
to low temperature become frost re-

as much as is necessary to give
thorough ventilation, or closed as
much as is necessary to keep out rain
or snow.
For ventilation in summer, it is ad-
visable and often necessary to have
apertures in the rear wall, or in the
ends, toward the rear, which can be
closed perfectly tight in winter and
opened as much as required at other
seasons.
