d. w Griffith, the great master
director of the screen art, never
made a more powerful or vivid pro-
duction than his production of way
Down East" the marvellous pictur-
ization that absolutely captivated
the entire nation during it's first
presentation as a regular theater
attraction. Mr.. Griffith sent the
same great production into Wash
ington yesterday afternoon for an
extended engagement for the first
time at regular theater prices and
the unrestrained enthusiasm of
yesterdays audiences at Loews
Columbia. where the picture was
presented. indicated that it's success
at popular prices may exceed even
its brilliant triumph as legitl-
mate theater offering.
In this production, Mr.. Griffith
has picturized the tenderly ro-
mantle and marvelously beautiful
rural romance by Lottie Blair Par
ker that achieved remarkable
success during Its stage career
years ago. 1t is a story of love
and lovers, presented against the
background of New England rural
life and marked throughout by
vivid human interest. enthralling
drama, rollicking comedy and by
one of the greatest and most spec
tacular chmaxes ever brought to
the screen.
Way Down East" depicts the
love story of Anna Moore, the
daughter of poor parents who is
condescendingly taken up by richer
urban relatives, brought into con-
tact with a man of INSCRIPTIONS
practices who, by a fictitious cere-
mony of marriage, tricks the girl
into a betrayal Faced with the
consequences of her marriage, the
girl is cast off by her wealthy rela-
tives and lapses into state of
semiservitude in a New England
household, surrounded by the Sos-
sips and evil-minded of a little
New England town.
Finding refuge as a maid in the
household of Squire Bartlett, a
great love springs up between the
gir1 and the Squire's son, but the
gossips. aware of Annals past. hunt
her out and inform me squire of
the girls alleged misdoing. The
squire. morally infeXible for all his
/ ether virtues. orders the girl from
his house into a storm and there
upon the way is prepared for her
rescue from the ice-swollen river
into which. in her despair, she
filings herself This climax is hair
raising and breath taking in It's in
tensity. and II is doubtful " Grif-
fifth has ever produced its e1ual n
any previous picture.
Lillian Gish gives the suSer5 pNr-
tra%sl Of her career in the role of
Anna. while Richard Rar,helmess
atJa.ns profound dramatic and emo
t'ohal heights as the love- who re-
claims her from death and forgives
her past for all time. Lowell Sher-

DEVELOP THE COMMUNITY

It nov looks as If the Chamber
of Commerce has struck its
stride and is going to be a great
factor in the upbuilding Of the
town, community and section. 1t
is particularly gratifying to note
that in it's plans it is looking to
and planning for the development
of the community and section as
well as the town.
One Of the most valuable, IN
fact, the most valuable asset and
resource of Scotland Neck is it's
back country and anything which
tends to develop the industry
and agricultural interests Of the
surrounding territory will neces-
sarily mean much to the progress
Of the town.
While every single man con
nected in any way with the bust
ness Of the town should be a
member Of this body, every
farmer in a radius Of ten miles
should also become a member,
for it is the purpose Of this body
ito exert every effort towards
the upbuilding Of the agriculture
lal interests. Through their mem
! bership and attendance at the
meetings the farmers could do
much to create interest in that
body IN things that interest
them. Likewise, every small
town, village and crossroads in
that radius should be canvassed
for membership. If this whole
section will unite with an honest
desir to make it the garden spot
Of North Carolina that very
thing can be done. It has been
done in other sections in this and
other states, and what has been
done by others can be done by Us.
Our opportunities and posi-
bilitles are only limited by our
ambition and determination 10

sectors IN our progress.

THE ARMAMENT CONFER
ENCE

One Of the most important,
and what bids fair to be, the
most far reaching conference the
world has ever known with pos
sible the exception Of the late
Peace Conference, will be held in
Washington beginning on Arm
istic Day. Each nation of i'm
portanc will send its most skilled
diplomats, England sending
Lloyd George and France choos-
ing such mer as Premier BRAND
and former Premier Viviani.
The results and conclusions of
this conference will determine
whether or no the nations Of the
world will continue to compete
with each other in the building
of huge navies and thereby CON
tinue the enormous burden Of
taxation upon the peoples Of the
earth, or whether }they shall
adopt a policy Of .hrotherly love
with sincere desire to do ali
in their power to lessen the in
centive for future wars.
The greatest assurance OF the
success of this conference will
be to open the doors and let the
public in and through the press
keep the people Of the different
nations Informed from day to
day as to the proceedings and
contentious of the various Ma
tions. Public sentiment should
rule its deliberations, and only
through press publicity can the
public keep informed as to what
is actually going on Secret dip
lomacy behind closed doors will
accomplish nothing lasting and
any agreements reached without
public approval will at the first
excuse or temptation be treated
as "mere scraps Of paper and
the world will continue to wac
on it its same old way WITH eacl
nation contending against the
other for supremacy.

Ben Hill Sheriff Gets
Warming To Quit County

FITZGERALD, August Sheriff
f. H. Dorminey, of Ben Hill county,
the chief center of attack by strikers
and strike sympatbizers in his effort
to preserve law and order since the
calling Of the strike on the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
last March, and who met. with re-
sistance when heattempted to dis
arm certain strike members recent
ly, Thursday received an. anonymous
letter through the mails, giving him
"twenty-four hours to vacate your
office and be safe 30 20 where you
will" He says lie will disregard the
warning.
The note concluded by saying:
"What ever VIII happen will be done
in crowd We never expect to find
you in the woods"
The note, il is believed general
ly here, is the result of a so-called
business meetings held here Wednes-
day night at the Ben Hill court house
and attended by strikers and their
families, and strike sympathizers.
The galleries were crowded with me-
groes. te4a
At the meeting violent verbal at
tacks were made against Sheriff Dor
miney and members of the Citizens
Committee, appointed by a committee
fone hundred leading men of this
city and county to give counsel and
aid to the sheriff. The appointment
of this committee, it is said, was en-
tirely unsat tisfactory with the strik-
ing element.
At the meeting 0. D. GQrman, a
striking official of Atlanta, addressed
the crowd, saying that he' had failed
to reach any agreement between the
strikers, the sheriff and the citizens
committee and that he intended to re-
turn to Atlanta and let the strikers
fight it out among themselves.

NOT SCINTILLA OF
TRUTH FOUND BY
INVESTIGATION
Health Officers OF South
At Washington Draft
ing Findings

WASHINGTON, August s.
Health officials from dozen states
in conference here with Surpen Cen
eral Cumming, of the Public Health
Service, regarding the pallagra sit
uation today are drafting a report
of conditions in the South and rec
concentrations of what should be
done.
DIR. James Hayne, South Carolina
health commissioner, said the report
would hold that there was not
scintilla of truth in the charges that
near-famine exists in the South or
that pellagra has increased there to
any appreciable extent"
DR.. j. A. Hayne reported that in
his state the first six months of 1920
there were ITO cases Of peflagra, in
1921, 865 cases.
Dr.. S. w. Welch, of Alabama, re-
ported IA cases last year, with no
d.aa4ar repottjng, and ia cases this
gear, with 9Ga doctors reporting.
z=E DR.. NJ + Haygood, of Georgia, re-
.gorted 1913 deaths in 1920, as against
sl06 in 1924, The 1920 death rate
%syAs Asl5 peY 100000 the 1921 rate,
t:a.f,sS3
The health officers admit normal
increase in pellagra, but deny that
there is necessity for special, drive
which would necessitate the with
drawal of appropriations from the So
luton of malaria and hookworm, de-
clared to be the real problems of the
South.
Hookworm shows a greater in
crease, It was argued, than pellagra.
The cases in Alabama last year num-
bered 28 this year, 2,347; while the
remarkable increase is due to more
doctors reports. The real increase is
distressingly large, Dr. Welch stated.
1t was added thai relatively identical
conditions prevail in all Southern
states, and that in comparison pella-
-grss-rs a minor matters
