Tons OF other years, but not until
The -Four Horsemen" has there
been q photodrama that has COM
piefely nlled the promise of epical
achievement
1t is this sense of recording
mighty events that the screens su-
periority over the stage was recog-
nfzed by critics after the first show
ing OF The Four Horsemen." Some
OF them harked back to the DAYS OF
Shakespeare and the Elizabethau
revival for parallel in the thea
ire TO the Rex Ingram production
They recognized the grandeur OF
the Great War had here been Wis
ualized as a lasting memorial.
But THE Four Horsemen" is moi
war play, except as the war serves
pas q background for a story teem-
ing with dramatic passion. Read
ers of the novel by the sensation
al SpaHiard, Vicente Blasco Ibauez
from which the photodrama was
adapted, have reported surprised
delight at the fidelity with which
the scenarioist, June Mathis, has
| followed the story, a story that
has been more widely read through
out the world than any other OF
modern times Its effect is height
ened in the picture, supreme ex-
preston Of the cinematographic
art
The artist to whom most cred il
has been awarded for this achieve
ment is the director, Rex Ingram.
Himself a sculptor before he enter
ed the motion picture field, he has
brought to the screen a sense OF
composition and form that is in
fallible in getting the right re-
suit down to the smallest detail.
And then there are the big settings
the broad sweep of the Argen-
tine plains with their enormous
herds of cattle, the Buenos Aires
dance hall with its swirl OF smoke
and glamorous vice, the whirling
gaiety of the Partisan tango pal
ace, the fevered rush of the mob
ilization scenes at the outbreak
of the war, the cluttered retreat of
the refugees, the seemingly endless
mass of German troops pouring to-
ward Paris, the bombardment and
destruction of a village and a
chateau on the Marine, the terrific
horror and fascination of an in
fantry attack from the trenches into
No Mans Land. And through it all
is the uncanny vision of St John,
picturing the Four Horsemen-Con-
quest, War, Famine and Death-a
vision that Mr.. Ingram has por-
trayed in an atmosphere of unearth-
ly imagination.
The actors-and there are so
principals and $500 extras engag-
ed in the production-have been Sc
lected with an astonishing intui-
ton for the ideal types. The high
est honors are carried off by Ru-
dolph Valentine, a young Italian
who won fame as an exhibition dan
Ger before starting his screen ca
reer. He appears as Julio Des-
meyers, the spoiled grandson of
old Madariaga, the fabulously veal

Furthermore, the senate votes very

PUTNAMiC0UNTY
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
(COntributed)

Under the direction OF county road
supervisor, Jere Whitson, a large
number of splendid roads have built
i'm every section Of the county and
many other roads are now in process
of construction.
The following are a very few OF
the newly built roads which deserve
special notice.
~ The road leading from Cooke
vile via. Smyrna to Spring Greek.
Two miles Of entirely new road have
been built on this road and all bad
places In the old road have been
eliminated.
(2) The road leading from Browns
Mill to mouth of Dry Valley, by the
Jackson schoolhouse, down Mill
Greek to the Calfkiller river. This
road is about ten miles long, and it is
remarkable that such good road
could have been surveyed and con-
istructed through the mountainous
section. This road contains several
miles of entirely new road and fills
one of the greatest road needs Of
this county. We congratulate the
good people of the Calfkiller river and
Mill Creek country that they now
have first class road from Cooke
vile to the Calfkiller, over which
even automobiles can travel with ease
and safety.
(3) The Poplar Grove and Buckner
hollow roads in the Third District,
which supply long felt wants.
"a The great improvement made
in the Little Putnam road, leading
via Fairview church, deserves spec
ial notice. More than one mile Of
new road has been constructed on
this road, the new segment being
almost level and straigt and all OF
the rights Of way donated through
level fields in one of the best farming
sections Of this county.
(5) The road from Algood via
Jeremiah to Spring Greek, contain
ing one mile of new road and all bad
places in the old road cut out.
(6) The road south Of the old
Falling water bridge in the Second
District running by the Mack Will
hite farm.
(7) The Buck Mountain road, now
an per cent grade, automobile route,
was formerly one of the worst of our
public mountain roads.
From time to time we will refer to
other new roads. All of these roads
have been laid out by survey and
built in strict accordance with the
best road building methods.

The opening Of the fifth annual
term of the Tennessee Polytechnic
Institute last Tuesday morning, Sept

erything points to a record school

which has grown beyond the fondest
snticipations of its most ardent sup
pcrters.
The opening was held in the cha
pei at nine o'clock Tuesday morning,
attended by many of the leading citi-
zrns of the town and county, and a
number of visitors from other Sec
short but appropriate speeches were

short but appropriate speeches were
made, and very pretty musical pro-

Man KILLED IN
DEKALB COUNTY
Officers Return Fire With Fatal
Results

On last Thursday evening a party
Of officers from DeKalb county came
to Cookeville and appealed to our 10
cal officers to aid them in the cap
ture of two Illicit distilleiies located
just across the county line in DeKalh
county. They represented to local
officers and citizens that these wild
cat distilleries were located very
near each other and that each day
for several days past while the ope.
rators of these two stills had gone
about their work, seven or eight
other men. Heavily a:Ted with guns,
had sat near by doing guard duty
and that the wild caters and their
body guard had declared that no Of
ficer would be permitted to capture
their stills. j
In accordance with the appeal for
aid from the o|cers of our neighbor
county of DeKalb, Deputy Collector
j. Carson Tyler, Deputy Marshal Her
bert Hughes, Sheriff w. M. Stout,
Deputy Sheriff William Gailbreath ana
other peace officers Of this county
proceeded Thursday might to the
trouble. In company with several
DeKalb, County officers, they pro-
ceeded to raid the stills. When they
approached the stills tr' 8 ~ = Is IS
opened fire upon them, and it is said,
that certain of the officers were fore
ed in their necessary self-defense and
in order to save their own lives to re-
turn the fire. Leo Jones was shot
and killed. Policy Jones, his father
was captured, but when the GERS
learned that he was the father of the
man who had been shot they tempo
rarily released him, that he might
attend his son. Roosevelt Jones,
first cousin of Leo Jones was cap
tured and brought to Cookeville and
placed in Jail. He is now under in
dictment in this county upon the
charge Of murder, but was out on
bail at the time. The oAeo~- de-
stroyed two large wildcat distilleries.
Leo Jones who was killed, was a
man and resided in the 18th
district of this county.
1t is unfortunate that the man was
killed, but the reports are that the
officers were fired upon without pro-
vocation, and that they are. without
blame.
