MASTERPIECE FRIDAY
Arcade Theatre win Offer Super
Production Pictures From the
Battle Fields.

Mr.. Thad Montgomery will show
to the public the best production of
its kind at the Arcade Friday, its til
tie being Hearts of the World" That
it is a super-production goes with
out the saying when 1t is known that
D. w. Griffith was its producer. The
theme Is romance of the great war
which took Is months for the making.
In taking the many war scenes Of
his superb masterpiece, d. w. Griffith
had the official aid and cooperation
of the British and French war off,
ces. Mr.. Griffith, by special direc-
tion of the British government, was
escorted close to the firing line in
France, visited the front line trench4
es, set up his camera in many dan
gerous positions, was actually under
bombardment, and secured many
wonderful effects and scenes of the
great war which would have been
impossible except for the aid and CO.
operation Of the governments Of
Great Britain and of France.
An endorsement from the press
such as the excerpts show below
prove Hearts Of the World" out of
the ordinary and play all possible
should see:-
Hearts of the World is more
than a picture play; 1t is a world
drama; 1t goes straight to the heart.

$S5, 900 LOSS, BY
BURNING OF MILL
Plant Of Lincoln County Lumber
Co. Wiped 0ut-lOO Men
Lose Jobs.

The entire plant of the Lincoln
County Lumber Company, located in
the northern part of the city, and
comprising its buildings, machinery
and a large lot Of lumber was to-
tally destroyed by IRE yesterday af-
ternoon at 200 o'clock. The loss
will approximate about $4,000 with
only $4,000 insurance. The busi-
ness was an incorporated one, the
mill being owned and run by J. +.
Vernon, J. w. Cassidy, A. B. Fur
low, s. w. Brown and H. B. Moore
]. r. Vernon and ]. w. Cassidy were
the largest stockholders and are con-
seQuently the heaviest losers. The
mill under its present ownership had
only been in operation about year
and was one OF the largest in the
county with its business constantly
increasing.
A blaze from some. unknown cause
starting In one of the dry kilns was
the origin of the fre, which after
being discovered, for lack Of water
and famed by almost gale that was
blowing soon had the entire plant
in such mass Of flames that It was
impossible to Quench the IRE in time
to save anything. The nre depart
ment responded promptly and at.
tached a hose to the nearest plug on
~ to hnd that this plug had been
cut on from the water mains of the
city on account Of the pipe line hav-
ing been bursted. With the loss of
time this occasioned and before the
hose could be run out to another
plug a further distance away, the
flames were being famed into a flu
ry by the high winds that prevailed
all day yesterday.
Several car loads of lumber, load
ed for shipment as well as great
stacks Of lumber were consumed. al
SO some railroad tracking running
into the buildings.
The lumber company had a most
complete manufacturing plant equip
ment, running a saw mill in connec-
tion with their other lumber opera
tons, and the burning out Of the
mill throws out Of employment over
100 people who were engaged in the
business.
Cars full Of interested residents
and friends Of the victims OF the fre
drove out during the afternoon to
view the awful wreck. At 700 in
the evening lumber was still being
greedily consumed by the devouring
flames among which were mountains
or seething, red-hot Goals from which
smoke evolved in paths winding
around the great mounds as tho
planned for artistic beauty and grace
of outline, while the massive rem
naDts Of machinery-the great
wheels and pipes and other parts

OF the life Of the hery element that
still sought hVngrilx its prex
n KrllR circumstance to Ea6e
and all feie share OF the calamity
to the vicinity and to the owners and
the employees Of the new enterprise.

'$l8,6OO, 900 SPENT
By LEGISLATURE
Mississippi Law Makers End
Session After Enacting
$50 Laws.

Jackson, Miss, April 3.-After be-
ing in session almost three months
during whicE time six hundred and
nifty laws were enacted. the Missls-
sippi Legislature adjourned sine die
at 3:l5 p. m. today. The session has
been the longest held by the legis-
lature in many years. Appropria-
tions totaling $1S SOC. 900 have been
made besides authorizing q $50,00O,-
900 bond issue for public improve
ments at state institutions.
Among the big Issues that met de-
feat at the hands Of the legislature
were ratification of national woman's
suffrage. O. S25,000,000 bond issue
for public roads and the proposed
consolidation of the states higher
educational institutions.
1t was interesting to note the diff
ference In the way the appropriations
and the ways and means committees
got along with each other and with
the other members OF the House. Du-
ring the last Legislature Mr.. How
erton OF Lee, chairman OF the appro-
priations committee, hammered on
every bill that he presented, He
belonged strictly to the "Iow pres
sure" crowd There was not a sus-,
picion, not suggestion of anything
AKIN to low pressure tactics at this
session. Chairman Hemingway of
the appropriations and Chairman
Stone OF the ways and means COM
mlttees are both high pressure" op-
timists. and there was never q quar-
rel between them, not even a friendly
tilt on the floor of the house over
the passage of any revenue bill, no
matter how large.
The slow pressure men in the
present Legislature appreciated the
fact that they were in a hopeless
minority and that 1t was not worth
their while to try to make a stand
against any measure that dealt with
the future OF the state and touched
the pockets OF the taxpayers, where
fore many OF them made up their
minds to "get in the swim and drift
with the tide" +
With the proceeds of a $4,000, 600
pond issue permanent improvements
In the shape Of new buildings and
generous repairs on many of the use-
tul old structures will be made un-
der the direction of a commission Of
nine men-fve Of them state off,
