Review of lst Semester

ssf : So n er the pupils
and Students were called togeth.
or by the ringing of the new
bell. which was erected during
the summer.
Upon entering the building
the students were surpris ed at
the other improvements. Al
the east end of the hall was the
prin cipal's Office. at the west
end. the library. also a new
chemistry table in the labora-
tory and new desks IN the high
school rooms.
Another room has been given
to high school use, and a new
teacher has been added to the
faculty which makes three
teachers for the high school
alone.
A few weeks after school be-
gan a windmill was put over the
we'll and a storage tarF with
a fm ntain Was erected.
Four grades are taught in
high school and three courses
offered-the college preparatory
course, the general course and
the teachers course. Pamphlets
with these courses outIin ed
were given to the students.
Several new subjects were
offered, one Of which was Do-
mestic Art.
The board has had less trou-
BILE this year collecting tuition.
which shows that more interest
is being shown in high school
work.
The majority of the students
have taken a lively interest in
the ahtle tic and social activi-
ties of the school, which has
been illustrat ed by the fact that
in the many games the basket
ball boys have played they have
never been defeated by another
high school team. Several good
programs have been given by
the different classes and soci-
cites.
The work as whole has been
satisfacto ry to both the faculty
and students, but with brighter
hopes of success we enter the
last semester.

AT LoEW,s BIJOU

Take a good male quartet, add well trained woman's voice and place them in the well selected songs of the love skit. "A Game of Hearts," and you will have the vaudeville sec tion of Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week, for with this act and the possible exception Cf the Arco Broth- CTS, the vaudeville bill was not up to standard.
 The Shadowland section of the pro- gram. however, was far above the average run of moving pictures, and is full of scenes of love, drama and beauty that hold the audience from start to finish. John Gilbert, who plays the leading role in "rhe Mad ness of Youth" in his part as hero of the story. has really found his place in the filming of this play. He is ably assisted. by Miss Billie Dove, who is playing one of her best roles The picture shows several closeups of Gilbert and gives him a chance to show some real acting.
 The Arco Brothers entertained the audience with stme remarkable feats of strength and muscle control. For an act of it's kind it is one of the best that has visited the city.
 The Eaton Trio" "Philbrick and Deveau" and FOX and Burns" were combination on the same bill. Either would have been a success, but they were too similar to be seen in one evening and be enjoyed. -J. M. C..

WINSTON COUNTY COMMISSION BILL ID BE CONTESTED
Airline Warden System Measure Yet To Go Be-
 fore The House
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 A strong contest is expected in the house over the, bill of Senator Grif- fifth to abolish the Winston county court of county commissioners and replace it with a board of revenue ap- pointed by the governor with the ap- pointive power to be exercised in definitely. Representative F. E. St. John of Cullman Is piloting the bill in the house. Attempts already made to call the measure up out of order have provoked opposition, 1t being held that placing the appointment of the board permanently in the hands of the governor will take away rights 5 to which the voters of Winston coun- ty are entitled. The object of the bill 1t is understood, is to replace the present republican commissions with democratic board named by the governor.
 Another measure to be disposed of by the house Is the general salary which has passed the senate, abolish- ing the double salary system and placing all officials on a single sal ary.
 The House has also yet to pass the bill establishing what is known as the all-time warden system, with a county game warden in each county. Two other bills of interest to sports men remain to be disposed of by the house. One is the game bill which affords better protection to fur bear ing animals, the other relating to fish conservation, which among other features provides a closed sea son on bass. trout and bream in April and May, during the spawning sea son.
 Governor Brandon may announce the appointment of the new state ? highway commission Tuesday. Cos sip in hotel lobbies Monday evening was that the selections had been made and the governor would have approved the new law and announced the personnel of the new commission during the day had not doubt arisen as to the authority of the old com mission to hold it's regular session, The new law will become effective the moment is is approved by the Eovernor.s
 Although no one professes to know what names Governor Brandon will select, 1t is generally understood that John A. Rogers, Gainesville will be retained as chairman of the commission; that J. H, Scruggs, Bir- mingham, an associate commissioner will be given his position again, and that the third member will be J Freeman Suttle, Marion.

"One Exciting Night" Ranks High;
 Ln Mysterious Comedy Drama

D. w. Grlffith's latest offering. one Exciting Night" playing this week at the Trianon, is an eXtraord- mary picture. It is a departure from the usual Griffith picture, being en- tirely unlike any he has heretofore produced, but it is in a, class with the very best.
 One Exciting Night" is comedy drama, so mysterious that it is inn possible to whisper to your com panion just how 1t is going to end, or to pick the villain. That is the particular villain, as there are sew eral. A group of bootleggers, a mur- kaffir are gathered under the roof interesting young hero, played by Henry Hull, his sweetheart Carol Dempster, few guests and a hid den suitcase containing half a mill lion dollars.
 The action Is fast and the thrilling situations keep the goosebl mps popping out and the scalp prickling. Romeo Washington (Porter Strong) a comical negro character. relieves the tension with his extremely anus ing antics in his love making with Irma Harrison. a negro servant, and his fearful encounters with the as- sorted crooks he meets unexpectedly on every hand.
 White hands reach out from secret panels, dark figures fit up and down mysterious staircase, daggers and re- volvers tend to heighten the thrills. Curious eyes peer into windows,

telephone message does not always accomplish what it should.
 There is a certain type of man or girl who likes to be catered to, pam pered and coaxed. Sometimes the man does not reply to the girls note and not infrequently the girl tells the young man that she is going out with some other young man or has an en- gagement for the evening he desires to see her again.
 T have written him two letters and telephoned three times,' writes one "heart broken" young lady, and still he refuses to make up. Please tell me, dear Miss Vincent, how l can win him back?"
 The two letters and three telephone messages were too much for him. That is where many girls make their mistake. One letter of apology is suf- ficient. If he is not big and broad minded enough to accept that first note there is no use in keeping the postman busy. Write to him two oi three times and you weaken your case. You make him, think you are running after him and once a young man gets that brilliant idea fin his head you have lost the game of love.
 Let the first note take effect. Some men are decidedly slow. They never do the thing you think they are going to. Let this type of man have time to think. 1t out. let him read and re- read that note of apology When he has spent two or three beau nights alone. or perhaps even taken out a few other girls, he will wake up. He will begin 10 see that you did the right thing by admitting you were | in the wrong. The old flame of love will stir in his soul and when you least expect it he will ring your doorbell some fine star-lit night.

.LOEW'S ID OFFER
 QNE BILL \ WEEK

Harry Portman, manager of Loew's Bijou, announces that when the new policy at Loew's Bijou becomes effec- tive next Monday lovers of high class vaudeville and screen features will be agreeably surprised with the whole week bill of 'all-star" vaude- vile and super-feature pictures in place of a twfce-a-week bill.
 But there will also be some other surprises. for not only will Loew's have undergone complete change in decorations, carpets, draperies and other rejuYenated effects, but many other new features will have been in- troduced for the accommodation and comfort of the thousands of patrons.
 Featuring the vaudeville bill, In conjunction with four other big acts, will be Leona LaMarr, the girl with q thousand eyes," and on the screen Belasco's play The Gold Diggers,s featuring Hope Hampton, Wyndham Standing and Louise Fazinda.
 The new policy to become effective October l, was announced by E. A. Schiller general representative of Loew's, Incorporated, when he visited Birmingham few weeks ago, and at that time in a statement issued by Mir. Schiller in behalf of MT. Loew, 1t was pointed out that Birmingham is now considered a large and inn -portant enough city for all-week k high-class vaudeville and pictures.
 It is also pointed out that by ob- taining 260 acts during the year in- stead of having to provide 520, as under the twice. a-week system, a much better class of acts can be ob- tained, thus making the best material available for the patrons of Loew's s theatres in the south, and especially in Birmingham, and promoting really high-class entertainment the year around, uninterrupted by any acts Of any other but the best variety.

lights go out and to-to-hand fights occur Nothing has been spared to make the most of every situation, and the result is one of the spooklest' thrilliest pictures produced.
 The story is plainly told and Is has a three-fold interest, the love story, the mystery and the comedy
 Carol Dempster, probably the love- Hest Of all Griffith stars, is particu- larly charming in this picture. There are 0 number of close ups of MISS Dempster, which resemble paintings in their softness and beauty Henry Hull. a stage star, is a handsome and likable young fellow and sskillfully played his role in this, his first ap- pearance in pictures.
 A production of Grlffith's must all ways have a touch of the spectacular and this is achieved in regular hurricane just before the close of the picture. Trees are blown down ana Romeos own shack goes sailing through the air. The storm scene IS perfectly done and adds another se- ries of thrills
 The story is brought to satis- factory ending, fully explaining the puzzling circI instances in the very last scenes.
 Others in the cast who creditably played their parts, were Frank Sher- idan, the interpreter of detectiVe iidan, the interpreter of etectlVe roles, Morgan Wallace, Margaret Dale, Frank Wunderlee and lrma Harrison-B. M. S.

SAW KLANSMEN IN NIGHT ACTIVITIES,
 WHIP VICTIM SAYS
Dr.. Yarbrough Again On Trial On Charge Of
 Rioting

MACON, Ga Sept. 24-(By AssG- ciated Press. )-How he stood in a darkened hallway, near the hall in which the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan hold their eetings. every night for weeks and watched the members of the klan pass to and from the hall, was told in city courts here today by W. O. Barnett, harness manufactures, who was flogged by band of men on February IT. 1923. The story was told in city court. where pr. c. A. Yarbrough, prominent dentist, is on trial charged with rioting in connec- tion with thei flogging of Barnett.
 Barnett told how a man had called him from his place of business the night of February r telling him that one of his children had been struck by an automobile. He went with the man and got into an automobile in which were two other men, he said. He declared that pr, Yarbrough was in this party.
 The men grabbed him, Barnett said, and put handcuffs on him. After reading charges that he had failed to provide for his family and beaten his children had whipped him. He as serted that pr. Yarbrough was the man who wielded the lash.
 O O o
 Recognized Leader, He Says.
 It was on cross examination that Barnett told of his hunt for the flog gers. He said that he watched the Ku Klux Klan hall night after night until finally one night he recognized the dentist as the leader of the flog gers.
 In response to questions by John P. Ross, counsel for defense, regarding whether or not members of the klan entered the hall as though they were afraid of being recognized. he said that many of tehm pulled their hats down so their faces could not be seen. The attorney admitting that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, asked

MELBOURNE, Sept. 24. The authorities here say no request has come for the apprehension of King Benjamin Purnell of the House of David colony in Michigan, who is re- ported to have come to Melbourne as fugitive from justice.
