birth Of A Nation"
At Grand Wednesday

D. W. Griffith's superb spectacle,
The Birth OF A Nation" is to be
presented at the Grand Theatre for a
special engagement OF one dav on
Wednesday, November 23rd
The engagement follows in the
wake of its recent triumph at the ia
nous Capitol Theatre, New York Civ
where it set record for motion pic
ture attendance that has never been
equalled. The tour was arranged by
the stirring interest of this wonderful
Mr.. Griffith under his personal direc-
ton and everything to keep up pro-
duction will be in evidence.
Its story unfo1ds those marvellous
pictures of the old South before the
war, gathering clouds of the impend-
ing struggle, the political manauver-
ing at Washington to avert the catas-
trophe, he call arms and the break
ing of romances under fairer skies be-
tween the northern beaux and south
ern bellies and gallant colonies and
Unions fairest advocates, tn epatient
Lincoln with firm hands upon the
helm of the ship of state, the jealous
les of his rivals, and then the great
war, with Sherman's march to the
sea, the wonderful battlefield scenes
as Grant and Lee lock foes in the
struggles before Richmond, the end of
war as declared at Appomatox and
the tragedy of it ali eliminating in
the assination of President Lincoln
The second half reverts to the South
and the efforts of the little colonel to
rerieve the shattered fortunes of the
Cameron family and make the old
plantation what it was before wars
devastation laid it waste. the death of
he pc sister, the longing of lovers sep
arated by the common misunderstood
ings and the hatred thus engendered
and thes the flame of revulsion from
the tyranny OF an invading throng Of
'arpetbaggers and schalawags and the
sc of the invisible forces of an out
r'"cd people to save their homes and
rights and put the South upos its feet
again after years of suffering.
Little wonder that such dramatic
material was welded into a thrilling
story which holds the interest every
moment OF its action 1t is all portray

Plant A Good Home
Orchard Now

The census reports show large de-
crease from 1910 to 1920 in the numb
er OF fruit trees in Georgia, says the
Extension department OF the Georgia
State College OF Agriculture, although
there was d decided stimulation in or
chard planting during the past four
years.
The reason probably for this decline
in fruit trees in the state Of Georgia is
more or less due to the TACT that the
small frui grower and he average far
mer have given up the raising OF fruit
to the commercial grower who has
sufficient equipment to combat the in
festation of numerous insects and dis
eases and, also, the knowledge of the
growing of the fruit.
The increase in the number of fruit
and insect pests attacking the home or
chardchard has caused many farmers
to neglect fruit production. Pruning
and spraying are essential to the pro-
duction of good fruit but any farm
er can soon learn how by little STU
dy OF the subject.
The special equipment necessary for
orchard management is not expensive
but this cost may be reduced by pur-
chasing it comparatively with a small
group OF farmers.
The following fruits are recommen-
dcd for home orchards in South Geor-
gia.
The horse, early harvest, Yates and
Terry apples, planted thirty feet apart
The keiffer and LeConte pears, 80
feet apart. The Stewart and Schley
pecans, fifty-four feet apart. The May
flower. Greensboro, Carmen. Hiley,
Georgia Belle, White English and FL
berta peaches eighteen feet apart. Lee

figs, eighties feet apart. Hyakume

agra grapes planted in rows ten feet
apart and eight and one half feet in
row. Scuppernong and Thomas Mus
cadine) grapes planted 10 feet. Early
Harvest and Erie blackberries and
Lucretia dewberries planted ten by

THE RED CROSS DRIvE-FrghtfuI calami


ties used to sweep over the world without any
means OF mitigating them. The earth abounded
with wars and pestences and fires and floods,
but there was no organized system OF relief and
people just had to suffer and meet their awful
fate without hope OF assistance .t.
In these times OF plenty and comfort when
there is abundant food and clothing and all need
ed supplies, it is unthinkabc that people should
be left to suffer from disease and sudden msfort-
une. But to bring quick and adequate relief,
some society must have ample funds and workers
so that its supplies and relief parties leave at
once Tor the OF disaster Also there is world
OF ordinary misery and suffering which needs the
constant work OF remedial and preventive agen-
cies. In these fields the American Red Cross has
done its marvellous work.
The creation OF the superb machine for the re-
hci OF suffering has soltencd the mscries of lie
ior innumcrable people. 1t took the victims of
war and nursed their wounds on the battlefield
it cared for the orphans 1t has assisted the dis
abled veterans and their families.
Wherever disease and death and suffering from
any cause have broken loose, there the Red Cross
has gone, a symbol OF life and hope and succor
1t has saved millions of families from despair and
from anguish greater than they could bear
A ministry which accomplshes so much to
bind up breaking hearts and make it possible for
people to live through their troubles is the mob
lest product OF our country. The millions should
pour into its lap until its treasures are full to ov-
erflowing There will be plenty of need for more
funds even if some of the folks of Fitzgerald for
get to give before the date set for the end of the
annual drive If you want to help leave your
dollar with Miss Irene Jones at the First National
Bank

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN-If the Country


had elected a Democratic Congress and president
one year ago, certain things would have gone diff
fercntly. There would not have been the aston
ishing record of inaction that has characterized
the present Congress. If anyone had said last Ap-
Ri when our national legislators met that they
would have achieved nothing of first class impor-
lance by the succeeding November, he would have
been laughed to scorn. All our Republican wise
men would have haw -hawed and said lust YOU
wait and see" Yet the months have drapged
along and the tariff and taxation and other oues-
tons which were to be settled during the extra
session, still remain in the air
The Democratic congress during the first six
years under President Wilson, showed a remark
able ability to get together and shape programs
OF legislation, that has been woefully absent this
year
Democratic administration would have had
the taxation question out of the way by this time
Il would have made such minor changes in the tar
III os conditions warranted, without upsetting the
entire business of the country by the threat of :.
general revision. There is no reason for whole
sale changes in the tariff, so long as imports re-
nam on their present quiet moderate level An
attempt to change all these rates of duty throws
pail OF uncertainty over the plans of business
Democratic Administration would have re-
vved the federal employment service on its Of
efficient basis, and would have thereby done a lot
to find work Tor the idle men A Democratic ad-
mnstration would have entered the league of ma
tons with desirable reservations and would have
gwen this country the good will of Europe Action
along these lines would send the current of life
throbbing through our business world

The Moutrie Observer gives its readers some
good advice which fits admirably at this time to
most every community and we heartily join Bro
lher Allen in passing it to our readers Under the
caption of Don't Start Rumors" the Observer
says
Be careful how you start rumors about the fl
nancal standing of men or institutions Men some
times talk at the assembling places about town.
OF this firm that IS supposed to be weak or near
the wall, or that man who is repued to be heavily
IN debt or facing foreclosure 1t is easy in times
like these to start rumors Often they are ground
less rumors but if they had foundation, there
would be no use discussing them

/AURELS OF .EIzN.SIEIN
CLAIMED BY ANOTHER
Dr. Wait of Newburg, ". Y, Asserts He
Worked Out Theory of Relatiuiy
Ttuent Years Ago.

Twenty-four hours after the Ma
tlonal Academy of Sciences had ended
its annual meteing here. DIR. Wesley
Wait of Newburgh. n. Y, arrived in
Washington today to claim the credit
now accorded Prof. Einstein for dis
covery of the theory of relativity.
Disappointed in his plans to con-
test before the academy the laurelS
worn by DR.. EinStein, DR.. Wait sought
ofhcialS of the Smithsonian InStitu-
ton and laid before them charts and
other documents tending to prove he
nad worked out the relativity theory
In 1901. Only he called it by differ
ent name-"the unity of universal
existence"
DIR. Wait UnfOlds Theory.
Before calling upon the Smithso-
man scientists. DR.. Wait offered to
unfold the theory to The Star reporter
interviewing him.
VIII start with the origin of the
universe and end with human per
sonality and creative thought, and
ask that YOU take paragraph after

sald The reporter expressed appre-
Grafton of this offer, but suggested
Or Wait could better employ the time
IN explaining his discovery to DIR.

But the scientist insisted he explain
the underlying principle of the theory

tive TO the aggregate conception of

ed out. can conceive of a greater uni
versal eXpanse than an unframed one.
Space, universally speaking, cannot
be considered vacuum, nor can sub
stance likewise be considered with
out space.
Another Illuminating point brought
out was that the stratum of matter
in which the earth moves is in semi
harmonious or discordant condition,
and these qualities are perfectly equal
in their tenSity or force, or the law
of perfect organization would not be
complete as to the various SubdlVl-
sional units and there would be sub
universal tendency to abnormalitles.
Book Not Published.
DR.. Wait, who says he is "A son-in-
law of Gen. John A. Rawlins. filed
with the Library of Congress, in 1901:
the title page of his work on the unity
of universal existence. The book is
in manuscript form and has never
been published. but. according to the
author. is built upon the principles
laid down by DIR. Einstein. The manu-
script was shown to the Smithsonian
officials today.
DR.. Wait has few questions which h
he would like DR.. Einstein to answer.
He Will send them to the Swiss scien-
tiSt in a few days. He wants to know
particularly what DR.. EinStein will
answer to this:
Did not chemical affinity come int
existence when the universe environ
ment influence began to concentrate
the friction into physical matter all
from one source under varying ten
sity creating the density of the atom? ?"

KNOX PEACE PLAN
SCORED IN SENATE
Mr.. Nelson Attacks Resolu-
ton as Unusual, Hating
and PieCemeaI Work."

The first attack in the Senate on
the Knox peace resolution came to-
day from the republican side. SEN
ator Nelson of Minnesota, chairman
of the Senate judiciary committee.
characteriZinS the resolution as 'un-
usual. hating, equivocating and only
a partial and piecemeal work" His
opposition shattered hopes Of lead
ers for a solid republican lineup for
adoption of the resolution.
Neither Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, author of the resolution, nor
Senator Lodge. chairman Of the for
cign relations committee, which urged
its adoption, was prepared to open the
debate when the resolution came up
today. and Senator Nelson proceeded
with the delivery Of his prepared ad-
dress.
The Minnesota senator was in the
mild reserva Zionist group of republi-
cans during the treaty ratification
fight in the Senate. He argued today
that the Knox peace plan omitted i'm
portant essentials for a just, perma-
naRt and lasting peace-reparations
e'o oiSfAi lHdt us pas
sage would encourage Germany to
continued resistance Of allied rep
arations demands.
Flags Selfish Motive.
"By this resolution said Senator
Nelson. we insist upon full repara-
ton for ourselves, but are wholly OBJ
livious as to whether our allies, by
whose side and aid we vanquished the
common enemy. secure any reparation
at all. We are also by this resolu-
ton wholly oblivious to the disarm-
ament or Germany-a most vital mat
ter to the future of the world So
long as we get reparation for our
selves, as long as we get our pound
of flesh. we have no concern for
bleeding France"
Senator Nelson asserted that he
would be willing to reach peace with
Austria by resolution. but not with
Germany. With Austria disintegrated,
the senator said. reparations and dis
armament in her case were not of so
much concern.
Senator Underwood Opposed.
Senator Underwood of Alabama
democratic leader. followed Senator
Nelson in opposition to the resolu-
ton which would be, he said. "the
final scene of great tragedy" and
the ending Of the war as far as the
United States is concerned, land we
will have washed our hands Of the
transaction" Senator Underwood add
ed.
