"THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
ORIGINAL PRODUCTION
AT GRAND NEXT MONDAY

David w. Griffith's epoch-making
spectacle "The Birth of A Nation, a
United Artists release, following its
record-breaking return to New York,
will be seen in one of its original pro-
ductions at the Grand Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday.
This work from the nature of the
new art it established has excited
kcener curiosity than any other offer
| ing of decade and after being away
for several years it was recently pre-
sented for special engagement at the
enormous Capitol Theatre and played
to over 10000 people in two weeks.
"The Birth of Nation" tells by
film and music the story of a nation
reborn through the storm and stress
of internecine strife Instead of the
four to six scenes of the conventional
plays, its technique permits of filming
literally thousands of scenes and COW
ering a wide range of history and
characters. lavery, the primal cause
of the War; Lincoln's call for troops
to subdue the Southern states; the
ball on the eve of Bull Run, and the
first triumph of Confederate arms; the
| devastation wrought by Sherman's
march and the awful ordeal of the
Siege OF Petersburg; Lees surrender
to Grant at Appomatox; the assassin
alton of the Great President; the harsh
radical policy toward the stricken
South; the uprising of the Ku Klux
Klan and the overthrow of the carpet
bagger regime these great factors
and events pass in review before the
thrilled spectator.
The love interest of the play is based
on the friendship between the Cam
erons of South Carolina and the Stone
mans of Pennsylvania, two families
involved i'll the struggle. Ben Cam
eron, the gallant clansman of the
Dixon stories appears again in the
role of romantic heno; the piquant
Northern girl, Elsie Stoneman, as the
heroine.

WHY MEN NEGLECT CHURCH

Why do men neglect church attend
ance? The following reasons can be
assigned why certain classes neglect
this important duty:
FIRST: A scared Sabbath con-
science sends men to the golf links
on the Holy Sabbath.
SECOND: The gasoline mania
causes thousands to take the family,
the dog, and the lunch basket into the
automobile early Sabbath morning
when they begin TO break the Ten
Commandments, the speed latAS, the
rules Of domestic tranquility and Sab
bath observance.
THIRD: Screenitis sends thous
ands into the motion picture houses
where they make a pagan attack up
on Gods Holy day,
FOURTH. Laziness keeps thous-
sands at home wrapped in the bed
clothes--too indolent and sloven to
dress and attend divine worship.
FIFTH: False conception of wor-
ship or because the sermon is poor,
they drift into the habit of neglect
ing church attendance.
SIXTH: A large number of those
who stay away do so because they
are plain pagans; their education is
defective No wel1-bred, well-trained,
modern up-to- date, and otherwise nor
NAL man stays away from church ser
vices.
SEVENTH: There are thousands
of business, professional political and
official men who neglect the church
because they are conscious of the fact
that they are grossly sinful, selfish
conceited, and derelict in the perform
ance of their duties They know that
if they face the gospel as expounded |
from Gods infallible word they will |
have to surrender their selfish, mean,
business and professional at
titude toward the church and the gos-
pei They are trying to avoid the doc
trine of responsibility, accountability,
and judgment They are foolish. Every
sensible man ought to prepare to meet |
his God Every desirable, worthy citi- |
zen ought to be found in his pew ev-
cry Sunday morning worshipping God.

NEW PLAN OF RURAL
CREDITS TO BE DISCUSSED
Co-Operative Marketing Meeting To
Be Held At Albany On Friday

ALBANY, Ga, Feb. 10 A new
plan Of rural credits which have al
most ceased to exist in parts of South

sponsoring the meeting, is prepared
to sell its members choice seed, but
cannot sell them on time without tie
ing lip large sums of the members

sIcKLY, PEEvIsH CHILDREN

Children suffering from intestinal worms
are cross, restless and unhealthy. There
are other symptoms, however. If the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
eyes, bad breath and takes no interest in
olay, it is almost certainty that worms
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge. It is positive destruction to the
worms but harmless to the child. Price
