PROSECUTION ASKS CHANGE OF VENUE
 IN GARRETT TRIAL
Less Interest Being Shown In Sensational Virginia Mur-
 der Case
CTrNBFRTAND COTRTHOITSE. Val.

CUMBERLAND COURTHOUSE, Va, August 2O.-(By Associated Press.)- Developments were few today in the Garrett Pierce murder case, though it marked the opening of the trial of County Clerk Robert o. Garrett. who, with his younger brother, Larkin c. Garrett, is charged with shooting to death the Rev Edward Sylvester Pierce, Baptist minister.
 The predicted legal battle develop ed as had been promised. but the great interest manifested when the case was first called three weeks ago, was almost entirely lacking to- day and many empty chairs and benches marked the place where the previous occasion spectators were packed.
 When court adjourned after a tedious, sultry day only one attorney had been heard in argument on the It will be probably late tomorrow be- fore Judge B. D. White, presiding, will render decision.
 Most of today was consumed In the reading of the affidavits. Eighty three were introduced by the prose- cution in support of It's contention that because of decided public feel ing and political conditions in the county a fair and impartial trial can not be held in Cumberland, 77 were presented by the defense with a di- rectly opposite purpose of view.
 Several witnesses also were called by both sides for oral testimony but these like the affidavits developed little that had not been placed In the record at the former hearing.
 One of the prosecution's affidaYits was signed by E. w. Paulette, of Farmville and related that the af liant had overheard conversation in which one of the jurors in the Larkin- Garrett trial stated the jury stood Il to 1 for acquittal when a mistrial was declared by Judge White. The affiant further quoted the juror as saying the twelfth juror would have come over and we would have acquitted him (Garrett) in ten ;rr r1tes

REGAIN THAT GIRLY
 COMPLEXION EASILY
Quick Results Sure If You Do Like Thousands of Women Who Praise
 Black and White

Don't worry and fret about how bad your complexion is. It is possi- ble now to make that rough blotchy and unpleasant skin smooth and soft if you will just use little common sense and do like so many thousands of women are doing all over the country.
 BlacKheads, pimples and other face ruiners are nothing more than you can expect when you neglect the care of your face every day. You seem to take it as a matter of course that your complexion ought to always be just right, without any thought of the care it must have to k|ep away the many outside influences which hurt the delicate tissue of the com pleXion.
 But using just something is where so many girls and women make their mistake. Treatments which promise overnight" beauty are often worse than If you don't use anything at all, because they must be harsh to work so quick and when they are, the skin suffers
 Millions of packages of Black and White Cleansing, and Peroxide Cream, as well as Face Powder, are sold every year to girls and women who have found these to be real toilet necessities. The Cleansing Cream keeps their skin clean by re- moving every particle of the dust. greas se and things that hurt the com plexion. The Peroxide Cream keeps the skin clear, protects it and forms q perfect base to hold Black and White Face Powder, thereby giving the complexion natural appearance.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT LnEM,s RILoT.


 Lovers of good vaudeville have treat in store for them at Loew's for the first half of the week. Not often does a vaudeville bill measure up to the standard of this weeks presentation. That, however. is fact at Loew's, for they're all good this week.
 The Pantheon Singers head the bill, Patrons seldom anticipate an act of that quality In ordinary vaudeville shows. Their rendition of some of the lighter songs was unusually good, but such artistic singing as the famous Rigletto quartette, the diff ficult air from Naughty Marietta and others of that type were highly pleasing to those who appreciate real talent. Three men and two wom- en compose the Pantheon Singers.
 The Crompton Sisters opened the bill with a nice variety of dance steps. Both girls are good looking. They present all classes of the more popular steps and many of an Ori- ental nature with costumes to match.
 Moore and Shy, both typical of their names one a copious fellow with fat to spare, and the other reaching about to his waist proved especially acceptable to the kids. Moore's crude shuffling of his seV- eral hundred pounds reminds one of a circus elephants efforts to dance.

His two assistants year olds from the audience. add materially to his act by their open eyed wonder as Johnston pulls a variety of the usual and varied articles from their pock- cts.
 Huge Ballin's version of Vanity Fair, is a motion picture of excep- tional merit. The well known story of Thackeray was presented with careful attention to detail and appar- ently with little attention to costs in- volved. The furnishings of some of the interiors were unusually beau tiful, and the acting was in keeping with the elaborate settings Mabel Ballin stars as the ambitious Becky Sharp" is a new type of heroine and the change from the usual plots and characterization Is welcome.

 Benny Kerr Is Wild.
 Benny, however, was a trifle wild and 1t was this which started him on his way to the showers--a trail he knows little about--in the sev- enth. He walked Jake Miller. Rob ertson laid down a sacrifice bunt and Johnny Mohardt, recalled from the Sally league to take Barber's place at first base, juggled the ball long enough to enable all hands to reach bases in safety. It was a tough break. but another was to come.

 Hartford Plays BIg Role.
 Hartford played the big role. too In the last run scored by the Barons, this coming in the ninth frame, when Richard Niehaus, who had relieved Tuero, when Manager Otto Miller hit for the Cuban in the eighth, was pitching. Hartford led off with a double to left and reached third on Walter Stewards sacrifice. Brausen walked and the double steal signal was given Danny Clarke attempted to tag Brausen and then throwed too late to the plate to catch Hartford, but Brausen was tossed out, Brock to Moore, a second.
 The Crackers never had an oppor- tunity to score, not an Atlanta player reaching second base, and but five went as far as first, four on singles, after two were out and Heck, when he was hit by a pitched ball, the only time when the ball refused to behave just exactly as Stewart or dered it to.

Gout and Sciatica. Money

Thousands of sufferers have freed
themselves from the bondage of rheu-
matism: rid themselves OF the tortur-
ing pain: reduced the swollen joints;
thrown away canes and crutches. and
from helpless beings became able TO
work and be of use to themselves and
their families.
They took Rheuma; the modern
enemy of rheumatism. lumbago, sci

Don't be skeptical about Rheuma.
You will know in a few hours after
beginning the treatment that the poi
sonous uric acid is leaving your sys-
tenn through the natural channels.
You will feel better in a day; you
will know you are going to be helped
in less than week.
Don't think because Rheuma is not
expensive that it won't bring you
back to health. There is no guess
work about it. That's why Clark &
Brainerd Company and good drug
gists everywhere sell it with guar
antee of money back if it does not
give quick and blessed relief almost
at once.
