BIRTH OF A NATION ARRIL %,

D. w. Griffith's "The Birth of a
Nation" will open an engagement
Wednesday, April %. The first
class metropolitan production is guar
anteed to be the one shown here at
the Opera, Charles Town.
Many circumstances have conspir-
ed to make "The Birth of Nation"
the most widely discussed picture
in the world. Suggested by Thomas
Dixon's Southern novels, it embraces
a far wider scope than "The Clans
man" play. Mr. Grifith's new art
covers $50 years of history and pic
torializes the greatest events of the
War between the States as well as
those of Reconstruction, Lincoln,
Grant and Lee; the early glories of
the Confederacy; the decastation of
Gen. Sherman's march to the sea (;
the awful siege of Petersburg; the
signing of peace at Appomattox; the
assassination of--tte President in
Ford's Theatre, and the succeeding
orgy of hate and oppression of the
South-these personages and incl
dents pass rapidly before the en-
thralled spectator and lead up to the
terrific climaxes of Part II, which is
devoted to what has been styled 'the
second struggle between the
North and the South" struggle
caused by the attempt to impose car
petbagger rule upon the conquered
States The wild adventures and
achievements of the Ku Klux Khan
dominate the final scenes, which
yield happy ending of double
romance of Southern and Northern
sweethearts. Remember the show
starts by the clock at 1880 at night
3:15 at Matinee. Doors open half
hour earlier. Prices at Matinee 20
cents to all; prices at night 20 and
80 cents. Two shows at night.

The Rev. w. H. Best, to the graft
fcation of his friends here, has de-
cided to return his residence in
Charles Town. The appointment of
Mr.. Best, as Conference Superinten-
dent of Sunday Schools, while COM
ing as a surprise to the congregation
in Charles Town, was the outcome OF
we'll laid plan on the part of the
Conference authorities. A thorough
canvass of the Conference personnel
was made for a competent man to
fill the position. Mr.. Best was deci-
ded upon as the most available man,
and he was drafted for the work.
His effective service in Sunday
School work in all the charges where
he has labored singled him out as the
one best equipped for the onerous
duties that the position imposes. The
most that Mr.. Best will take is new
one. 1t was established by the Con-
ference in 1918, but owing to war
conditions at the time, it renamed
vacant last year. He will be required
to visit all the Sunday Schools OF the
Conference at intervals to supervise
and direct the work. Charles Town S
central location makes it rather at
tractive as a place of residence for
him. Charles Town and Bethany
Churches have prospered under Rev.
Rests pastorate Collections Tor
Conference Claims exceeded the as
sessments 25 per cnt. More mem
bors than ever before contributed to
church funds. The largest sum ever :.
realized for missions was raised IN
the Sunday Schools. Additions 10
church membership was siigh'iy
above ten per cent.

Judge Dayton entered decree in
the u. S. District Court in Martins
burg last week, authorizing the sale
of the plant of the Municipal Shale
Brick and Block Company, located
near Martinsburg The plant had
been in operation about two Years.
Judge Dayton appointed Col.
Stuart w. Walker as Special Commits
sioner and also substituted him as
trustee, in place of the Baltimore
Trust Company, which was appointed
after the company went bankrupt.
The plant which is new and up-to-
date, was erected at a big cost. 1t is
valued at the lowest at $4,000. Mr..
Tracey, who is president of pipe
company in Harrisburg, and one of
the best known business men of that
section, holds $4,000 worth of a
bond issue of $4,000 on the plant.

government and the State must be
paid out of the fund. Mr.. Tracey's
bonds will come next, and if there is
any sulplus certain labor liens will
be met, and the accounts of unse-
cured creditors paid.

MR.. BUsHRoD c. WASHINGTON.

In the recent death of Mr.. Bushrod
C. Washington at his home in Doug
las Co., in the State of Washington,
a noble, Christian gentleman passed
to his reward. When some eleven
years ago he left Charles Town with
his family to make his residence in
the far west his friends felt that they
would never see him again in the flesh
The whole community felt its loss IN
his leaving his home town where for
so many years his gracious personal
ity was benediction.
Zion Church, the church of bis
love and service, sorely missed HIM
as it's Warden, Superintendent of
Sunday School and life long loyalty
to her traditions and history to which
he had made such distinct contribu-
ton. Every rector of Zion Church
during his life time would willingly
and, gladly testify to his loyalty and
faithfulness as together they worked
for the cause of the Great Head of
the church. The heritage bequeath-
ed to us by the fidelity and sympathy
of Mr.. Washington in his personal
love for the Savior cannot be put IN
words, nor would he have it so.
AS a citizen, Soldier, Churchman
and Christian gentleman fearless,
brave, noble, chivalric, we all felt
personal pride in him. His beautiful
example of all that makes life worth
while still speaks to US in the con.
scious and unconscious influence OF
his faith and works. When one who
knew and loved him remembers his
modesty, his aversion to eulogy, his n
simple, sincere life, it is indeed diff
cult to write the things he feels and
knows. But some tribute, in SIMPLE
truth. is due the memory of such
man of God from those who feel
nroud to call him friend. The
memory of the just is blessed

Organize Card Club.

A group of Rock Island women,
a dozen in all, gathered at the home
of Mrs. William Johnson, S14 Sec
ond avenue, last evening, for the
purpose of organizing a cinch club,
which took the name, Victory"
Decision was reached that the
club should meet every two weeks
on Thursday evenings.
Games were played at three ia
bles and the high score prize went
to Mrs. Arthur Johnson, who was
awarded a beautiful cut glass flow
er basket. Mrs. William Kruger
was presented with a dainty dress
er scarf as second prize and the
all-cut, a glass vase, was won by
Mrs. A. J. Billings. A number of
vocal and piano selections also
provided entertainment throughout
the evening and it was near mid
night when the hostess invited the
guests to adjourn to the dining
room, where there was spread
beautifully decorated table, laden
with refreshments. Cut flowers
also served as decorations through
out the rooms. Mrs. Arthur John
son will entertain in two weeks at
