POLI'S

Tarzan of the Apes, the greatest
story and the greatest photoplay pro-
duction of the age plays at the Poll
theatre beginning today. Packed
houses will be the rule and seats
should be secured early.
One thousand persons took part in
this offering, wild animals were loose
amongst the players and as a result
there is more sensationalism aside
from the plot than couldspossibly be
arranged under ordinary direction.
The plot is miraculous, the direc-
ton superb and the acting is such
as to make men wonder.
Besides this big feature the usual
program of vaudeville will be shown
at no increase in prices.
Frank C Toby a clever pair in song
and dancing diversions will offer f1f-
teen minutes of skill and mirth pro-
voking compositions from songland.

DAMO

Damo was the daughter o fPytha
goras, the philosopher, and was on
of his favorite disciples. She was mi
tiated by him into all the secrets d
his philosophy, and her father en-
trusted to her all his writings, en-
joining her not to make them pub
lie. This command she strictly obey
ed, though tempted with large offers
while she was struggling against pos
erty. She never married, in obedi
ence to her fathers wishes, and ex
horted other young women, whose ed
ucation was under her care, to do tn
same. She was born at Cretona
Italy, and lived about 500 B. C..

SOLDIER IN LESS DANGER
Than NORTH CAROLINA BABIES

In spite of the tremendous cas-
ualty lists that are now coming
from France where the lines OF
battle are joined on the Western
front the danger to life "over there"
is not as great as it is to the child
ren of North Carolina, according to
figures gathered by the State Board
of Health. In other words, it is less
dangerous to be a soldier on the
firing line in Flanders right now
than it is to be a baby in this State.
The Children's Bureau of the
United States Department of Labor,
the State Boards of Health through
out the country, and various organ
izations of women all over the
United States are this year uniting
in the effort to reduce the deaths
among the babies by at least 100000
in the Nation. North Carolina is
asked to save the lives Of 3,f3C
babies in this State this year, or tC
reduce the number of deaths here.

without any previous warning. 1t
should be borne in mind that the

III thut convention and so strong
Twas Capt. Frye of that opinion that
at the proper time and in pursuance
of the rules in such cases he served
notice on J"dge Ferguson that he
would contest his nomination be-
fore the convention.
When the delegates of the con-
venion met at Bryson City, Mr..
Frye s home. they found that the
contest over the nomination was
going to create some friction and
disturbance in the party ranks; so
Capt. Frye's delegates, including Mr.,
, 7. D. Brysol. met in Capt. ~Fryes s
office and after due deliberation,
they decided that it was best.not to
press the contest over the .nomina-
, ton; and remember Capt Frye
1 very earnestly stated that he would
rather lose the nomination than tc
create any disturbance in the party
S And hesinstructed his delegates te
' 90 into the convention, withdraw
