Garrison. baritone, enacting the role of Sandor, and Mrs. H. N Lewis in the role of Mazelle, present a scene from "The Fortune Teller" with such finesse and artistry that the picture itself takes added meaning.
 This is the first attempt in Phoe- nix to stage musical prologues to feature film plays and the effort met with the unqualified approval of Columbia patrons. In the larger the aters of the country elaborate musi- cal prologues are arranged for super special attractions, and the plan eventually may be adopted by the Columbia management.
 - Little Italy" is itself a pretty story, told in a manner that is most pleasing. It affords Miss Brady a splendid opportunity for the enact nlent of a character role wherein she can display her true art. Scenic eff fleets are of unusual beauty, and the story is told with a continuity that is uninterrupted. The direction is su- perb and a strong supporting cast Is seen in support of Miss Brady
 A Snub Pollard comedy, entitled "What a Whopper;" a Literary Di- gest Topics, and one of the very popular Select News reels are the other filrf1 numbers on the program for the last times today.

HISTORIC UNBELIEF
BY COLONEL w. A. LOVE

We are told that students oil
Homietics in Theological Seminaries
are taught to avoid sermonizing or
questions that have been proven.
Lawyers on the other hand, whethe.
taught so or not, are ever in a state
professionally, Of unbelief, hesitation
or belief varying according to the
interests of their clients, while his
torians are unfettered by limitations
Of teaching, or desire for reward.
Before entering my teens the Life
of Napoleon Bonaparte was the most
inspiring book to which / had access
the Bible and Chatecisms excepted of
course, and Marshal Ney of all his
h eroic compatriots was the most ad
mired. st
Imagine then my feeling on read
ing of his trial, conviction and ex.
ecution by his own people. At that
time, two brothers were at Davidson
College, North Carolina, and after
spending their vacation of three
months in the mountain region, re-
turned and told me that the execu-
ton of Ney according to tradition
there extant was sham, and that
he died a natural death and was
there buried in an unmarked grave
The incognito Ney, as the tradition
runs, was Of fine form and military
bearing, of a quiet demeanour, at
times morose and uncommunicative
but when under the influence Of al
coholic spirits, which was quite often
he freely proclaimed his foreign rank
and identity Whether this tradition
will continue to live in opposition tc
history time alone will determine,
Another event transpired while yet
in my teens which disturbed me
greatly was the deplorable assassina-
ton of President Abraham Lincoln
bv John Wilkes Booth in Ford'E
theater an April 14th, 1865. His
flight, apprehension and death in .
corn crib on the Garrett farm in Vir-
ginia on April Goth, and later the
execution of his accomplices, Davic
r. Herold and Mrs. Surratt, accounts
Of which were published throughout
this and other countries. Now comes
one Fnis l.. Bates, a fellow student
at Gathright's Noxubee County In
stitute in 1868 who claims in o.
book Of 300 pages, written as he says
ofor the correction of history that
Booth escaped and that another, 81
companion of his, was killed and thai
he suicided at Enid, Oklahoma Terri
tory, January nth, 1908. Bates was
Booths attorney and knew him in
timately in Texas and represents him
as gentleman of good taste, con
genial companion and free from the
tobacco and whiskey habit. The bool
rs well Written anu AlluoNi HtNN 'A'''
compares favorably with that of m,
Legislative friend, Ex. State Senate
G. A. Hobbs, Bilbo, Brewer anc
Brisbery in Mississippi politics.

POLITICAL CARD.

To the Voters of Adair County:
In making my announcement of my
cac cdidacY through the columns OF the
News last week. | did not intend
thereby to ger into a newspaper con-
troversy, and do not now intend to
do so, and this will be the last article
that shall write regardless of what
may be said However, 1 propose in
a series of speeches which shall make
to discuss all these questions,
and Thereby extend to my opponent
an Invitation to be present at these
appointments. l only want to refer
to one statement made by Mr.. Coffey,
as this is the only one about which
there can be any doubt in the minds
of The people; and the only one that
they do not already know about, re-
gardless' Of what he should say or
what l should say. That statement
is this, that when 1 went out of office
the county was in debt s13, 10000 and
he refers to order book No. 4, page
462 TO sustain his contention. L join
with him in the request that you ex-
anime this record, and when you have
done so you will find that after giving
credit by the amount in the sheriff's
hand there will not be the indebted
ness claimed by Mr.. Coffey. This
amount also includes the allowance
made at the regular October term OF
the Fiscal court for which no appro.
priation could be made until the fol.
lowing April term of the court. In
other words, CiIe claims which are al.
lowed at the October term and the
claims allowed at the following Apri
term, about the same amount at each
term, will constitute a basis for thu
levy of the year in which the Apri
term comes, and as of necessity, anC
by mandate of law, every administra
tion will owe the allowances made al
the last October term of the cour
during It's term which must be provid
ed for by the incoming administra
tion. In making my statement o
conditions in my previous article
specifically excluded from cOnSidera
tion anything pertaining to the pres
ent year because no funds could b.
available to pay same now, and ha,
Mr.. Coffey been as fair in his statemen
he would not have included any allow
ance at the last October term of tn
