Romney changed hands ffty-stx
times during the Civil War. There
was no other point which suffered
anything like so many captures ex-
cepting Winchester in Virginia.
Romney historical records show fif-
ty-six changes and it IS said that
there are omissions which might
bring the actual number up as high
as eighty There was no hard
fought battle at Romney but the
troops Of the opposing sides would
be taking the town every little
while. At times the troops Of one
side would march peaceably out Of
town and a short time later the
troops of the opposing side would
march peaceably in. On few oc-
casions the fighting at Romney
took on importance.

Order Is said to be heavens first

is to be congratulated on making it

Whatever may be the grievance Of
the West Virginia miners. they are
not to be redressed at the point Of

and the sooner that is understood
generally the better it will be for
the whole country. The principle
Of righting alleged Industrial
wrongs by force and at the pleasure
Of the aggrieved can not be admit
ted into the wide realm of debata-
bic propositions, because it Is the
negation Of every principle OF or
ganized and lawful society, and IS
the challenge of one class to all
others The first thing to do in a
case like this Is to insist On respect
for the fundamental law OF order,
to insist that all disputes of this
character shall be settled on their
merits and not by battle, murder
and sudden death.

Al G. Fields popular mlnstrels Will open an engagement at the Jefferson for three nights beginning Thursday night, with a matinee Saturday after noon.
 h an age when the public is sated with various forms of revues. varie- tics, musical comedies in various dis gNises and such drama as Is to be had. good, bad and indifferent. there is always joy in the announcement that the Al G. Field minstrels is com ing to town.
 It's familiar. yet ever-changlng forms strike chord in the breast of the average man and woman to which few if any other forms of en- tertainment appeal The reason is easily discovered. There is no land In which the popular song has the vogue that one finds In this country. Nowhere is there more delightful provision made for answering this appeal than in the American minstrel show. and Al G. Field Is it's best ex- ponent today. Entering upon it's thirty fifth consecutive season, with more than third of a century of un- rivaled success behind it, the Al c. Field organization stands today alone in it's fame and popularity.

CONNECTICUT ONLY. STATE SHOWING A. RISE IN ILL|TERACY.
Plight of New England State, Without Any Negroes More PitiabIe Than That of
 Any Other
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Heraid,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, October 1T.-(special.) The only state in the union which illiteraey has increased since the cen sus of 1910 is Connecticut.
 Connecticut has no negro popula- tion. It Is an integral part of New England. where New England says lis all the education worth while in America.
 The plight of Connecticut Is more pitiable than that of any state where the percentage of illiteracy Is high but where evidence of rapid reduction is obvious That Connecticut suffered an increase is attributable to an in- Aux of foreign population.
 The proportion of illiteracy for the individual states ranged from II for Iowa to 21.9 for Louisiana. In 23 states. including Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the percentage illiterate was not in excess of three-fourths as great in 1920 as in 1910. The great est reduction in percentage illiterate was in South Carolina, from 25.7 to 1S.1. The greatest decline in the actual number of illiterates is shown for Alabama, from S52.710 to 27s,0S2.

Dr. Biosser's Cigarettes Give Out a Healing and Siooth- ing Smoke-Vapor that Clears the Head, Nose and Throat.

Dr. Blosser is the originator of q certain combination of medicinal herbs, flowers and berries to be smoked in pipe or ready prepared cigarette which is meeting with un- usual success in catarrhal troubles. As the disease Is carried into the head, nose and throat with the air you breathe so the antiseptic heal ing vapor of this remedy is carried with the breath directly to the af- fected parts.

It is pleasant tosuse. and not sickening to those who have never smoked and may be used by women and children as well as men.
 If you suffer from catarrh, asthma, catarrhal deafness. or if subject to frequent colds, you should try this remedy Satisfactory results guar anteed. Any well stocked drug store can supply pr. Blosser's Rem edy.
 A trial package will be mailed to any sufferer for ten cents (coin or stamps) by The Blosser Co.,, 2s DI. Atlanta, Ga.. to prove its beneficial and pleasant effect.

RICHARD BARTHELNES AT THE STRAND IN "EAPEHIENCE."

Richard Barthelm lmess is appearing in "Experience" at the Strand this week. "Experience" is q play in which a person sees life from all most every standpoint but in the opinion of the reviewer rather as a spectator at various places of merry debauchery and poverty than as a story with personal appeal
 The production is really series Of magnificiently staged and costuIned scenes, with a background of the more modest type in the home Of the boy who came from the country and the poverty in the city he finds after engaging in a number of brilliant and wild affairs.
 The story is told with the char acters symbolizlng various human emotions love, ambition, temptation, despair, and traits such as beauty, wealth and experience. Told with symbolic characters 1t is naturally light on real human Appeal and is country youth following after these things, ambition. beauty, pleasure and the like. It is very beautiful as q. production. carries an appealing philosophy in the symbolism and certainly 1t gives the spectator q taste of life from many standpoints.
 The types for the story have been well selected. Excitement. for in- stance is a restless looking woman. pleasure is apparently seeker after any kind of diversion and temptation is especially well done. Richard Barthelmess is fine as youth and Marjorie is good for love, who en- dures while all other desert.
