Strand Attraction

Vendetta" the latest picture

critics the world over as the great

Of features that are not ordinarily

sensational denouement, it has many
unusual features.
Part of the exteriors were made
IN the mysterious and little knowl
island OF Corsica, the birthplace OF
Napoleon. situated a comparatively
short distance off the southern coast
OF France. Though out of the ordi-
nary tourist route and therefore little
known Corsica has some of the most
beautiful scenery in the world as the
entire island is made up of precip-
itous mountains bordering long, deep
bays.
The balance of the exteriors were
made at Monte Carlo. the play spot
of Europe, with the wealth of cauty
for which II has been famous Tor

In the Monte Carlo scenes every
thing has been done on an extraor-

settings, which to duplicate would
cost millions of dollars. Many OF
the interiors were made in the fam

the world over for its elaborate

ing of the life of this early settler.
To defray the expenses of this work
the Caledonian Club is planning to
hold a concert in the high schoo!

Sir Isaac Newton formulated his
law of g~ravitation after he saw an
apple fall from a tree under which
he was sitting. J.. Rufus Walling-
ford got his big idea for fame and
fortune when his toe caught in the
worn carpet at the Palace Hotel in
Battlesburg. The complications re-
sulting from this idea are admirably
set forth in "Get-Rich-Q WALL
ingford." a Cosmopolitan production
for Paramount. adapted from the
play by George NJ. Cohen. which will
be the feature at the Ditmas Theatre
today and tomorrow.
II is necessary for Wallingford to
find something that will interest the
wealthy citizens of Battlesburg. He
hits on the carpet tack, with over
ing to match the color Of the carpet.
This appeals to the ~townspeople, who
Invest all their savings. 1t is a sreat
surprise for Wallingford himself
when he is deluged with orders for
the tacks.
"Get-Rich-Q Quick should prove as
popular in a motion picture as he
was in the play. because the story
lends itself admirably to production
on the screen.
j.. Rufus wallingford is played by
sam t1dTuys anu <Noliidh NeAhy 10
"Blackie" Daw. Wallingford's con-
.federate. Doris Kenyon makes a
charming heroine in the part OF
wallingford's private secretary with
whom he falls in love.
In "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford"
Frank Borzage, the director, makes
secure his position az a master of
characterization. The picture tells
the story of the attempts of Walling-
ford and his partner, Daw. to de-
fraud Battlesburg citizens by means
of fake stock transactions. Two girls
win their hearts and their schemes
prove to their surprise, to be
tremely profitable for all concerned.
They become honest men, win fine
wives and sleepy Battlesburg is
transformed into a hustling up-to-
date community.

leggers and pistol toters. To this
end he urged the best use OF school
funds and road funds and the work
of the militia on the roads-to even
pray for them and then go after
them. He praised the Agricultural
Clubs as an excellent method Of in
teresting boys and girls in farming
teaching them simple and practical
methods which shall embrace stock
raising, canning, cooking, sewing
etc. The speaker urged all citizens
to get behind the forces of the law
to stamp out crime.
First prize was awarded Mr.. W.
c. Elliott.
The drill in Physical Education
contest was entered by only two
schools, "a girls from the Barbour
vile Grades and "a boys and girls
from the Dowis school, fifteen miles
out. The drills were entered into
with spirit and the teachers deserve
great credit for the work done. The
first prize went to the Barbourville
grades and the second to Dowis
School. We want to say here that the
Dowis School had the most yells and
gave them with the most spirit of
any group present.
Lige Lundy, of Davis Bend, won
the 1st prize for the largest family
Of school age and attendance, pres
ent on the grounds. He had nine
children with him, while Joe Mayne
of Lay, had only eight with him, but
two more at home. He carried OF
second honors.
The Old Hickory Stables delighted
those present by showing their fine
horses, Vendetta, Sada San, Feudist
and Gladys, which have made such
a good impression at the various
county fairs.
Union College first and second
football teams played a practice
game which created much interest.
It is estimated that $500 children
attended the fair and there were
probably from $500 to 1000 per-
sons in all on the grounds during
the day.
Much credit is due Supt. W. w.
Evans and Earl Mayhem, County
Agricultural Agent, for one Of the
best educational fairs that could be
held. Everyone was delighted with
it; not thing occurred to mar the
day and We are sure that next year
will see an even greater School Fair
than that Of this year.

AUDIT CREATES A STIR
Many Miller County Residents Appar-
 ently Displeased Over Cost.

Texarkana, May 29.-The audit of the books and accounts of Miller coun- ty, Ark, completed recently, appar-
 ently has created considerable stir among the people in all parts of the county. Not only the reported short age of former Sheriff and Collector A.
 J. Gurley, amounting to about $S5,00O, but the amount of the bill for making the audit seems to be raising storm.
 The records of the county court show that just before retiring from
 office, about IS months ago, former
 County Judge Brooks entered into contract with Victor E. Buron, cer- tified accountant, whose home is on the Texas side of Texarkana, to make the audit, the price to be charged be- ing fixed at $1,2OO. When, a little
 later, Judge Nolan succeeded Brooks, he immediately cancelled the the con tract with Buron, and several weeks afterward employed Harry M. Jay, of Memphis to make the audit. The bill for the work as now presented by Jay is $15,1SS. Now the question is being asked as to what valid excuse
 there could be in paying such sum for the audit when it could have been Secured for $1,200.
 It was currently rumored on the stroets hera last night that former County Judge Brooks and former
 sheriff Gurley are preparing to make
 a campaign of the county to explain to the people certain matters relative
 to the audit and the acts of Judge Nolan in connection with it. Judge Nolan is making the race for re-elec- tion with three other candidates op-
 posing him for the office.

REFUTES STATEMENT
Alleena Ark

HaAACShC, E1l h., Ahdy GJ, 1JAA. To the Citizens of Little River County
 Arkansas:
 I have recently learned that re- port is being circulated by certain person to the effect that one of the candidates, who is running for Coun- ty Judge, and I have been having sec- ret meetings concerning the office of County Judge. This is a falsehood of the blackest dye. I have never had a secret meeting at any time or place with any candidate of Little River County.
 I was born July 9, 1860, about two miles west of the Steel Bridge near Mills Ferry in Little River County, and have lived here all my life. I have never voted any ticket but the Democratic ticket I have always worked for the interest of said party and my county.
 I am farmer and have always lin- ed up with the farmer and the labor ing man. I believe there are plenty of men among the farmers and labor ing men who can fill our offices and that We should select from among them our officers.
 My life and past record is an open book. I ask you to look into it if you want to know anything about me. I have tried to apply the Golden Rule" in my dealings with my fellow-man. Should you happen to hear any report that I have stopped to any low or dirty trick, or secret undermining aG< or planning any secret thing that will not bear the light or public investi- gation, if you will just investigate it among the best people in my neigh borhood you will find it to be lie and the starter of it is the father of it.
 I have been asked by a large numb CT of citizens, mostly farmers and laboring men, to make the race for County and Probate Judge of Little River County and the man who cir culated this report did it through prejudice thinking he might create a false sentiment in land among the farmers of the county against me.
 I have not sought the nomination for County Judge nor asked any local |of the Farmers Union to put my name on the ticket but the farmers and cit izens have sought me as numerous men have written me and come to me and asked that I consent for my name to be put on the ticket, and petition was written up and every man in Burke Township except two that it was presented to signed it asking that the Farmers Union of Little River county endorse me for the office of County Judge.
 Tn the race for tax assessor four years ago, I received every vote in Burke Township except 3.
 I have served as tax assessor for Little River County and when I turn ed in my books, the late John s. Walk CT told me that I had turned in the best set of books for the office up to that time.
 My interest is with the farmers and tax rayers of Little River County. I realize the responsibility of the Coun- ty Judge in handling the funds of the county. I believe that when ap- propriations are made they should be just, legal and for the best interest of the whole county.
 Respectfully, Advertisement. c. w. WRIGHT.
