"Suy Mr. Editor: Please stir up the

Mr. Editor, if our police force would

are for pedestrians and these bicycle law
breakers should be punished.
The ordinance requiring cows to be

A SOUTHERN PLAY BY ONE WHO KNOW!
| Why "The Sins of the Father" is Timel]
| Just Now.
I Those who witness "The Sins of the Fa
ther" at the Grand Opera House. Thurs
day, Oct. 27, will see a Southern play by i
Southerner who knows his subject. Th<
playwright referred to is Mr. Thomas Dix
^4? UTUa T - CnAf/, " MTki
i?u, iiiitiiui wi inc ucujiaiu 9 o^wua, im
Clansman," "The Traitor," "Comrades'
and many other successful plays and sto
ries. Attention is called to the fact thai
"The Sins of the Father" was written bj
an expert, because right now alleged
"Southern plays" are being offered by wri
ters whose ignorance of the South is abys
mal. Men who know nothipg of the social
code, of the inter-relation of races, of the
psychology of the white man and of the
African, dare to come forward anil present
imaginary scenes embodying their absurd
ideas about inter-racial conduct. Such efforts
may fool audiences a thousand miles
away from the actual scene of the race
problem, but they cannot impose on the
people of this city. Mr. Dixon's "The Sins
of the Father" handles without gloves the
subject of the intermixture of the races. It
goes straight to the mark, but it does not
offend the proprieties and above all it never
strikes a false, mawkish or feebly sentimental
note, so say those who have witnessed
it. Do not miss this tremendous
expose of the evil of "mixed bloods"?not
preached as a sermon or penned as an essay.
but presented as a vital stage story
with living personoges to enact the momentous
parts. Resistlessly funny comedy
and heartbreaking pathos are in tho telling,
while the big dramatic moments stir
the souls of playgoers to the depths. It is
predicted that the success of this revolutionary
play wAl far surpass that of Mr.
Dixon's greatest previous effort, "The
Clansman."
6522 Miles of Advertising.
Four years ago the Craddock Shoo was
unknown outside of Lynchburg, \'a, where
it. is made. To-day you'll find it in nearly
every town in the South and you'll read a
Craddock ad in nearly every Southern
newspaper you pick up.
It's truly wonderful how the power ol
publicity pulls and you will sometimes
doubt that power until some instance like
the Craddock Shoe success comes along
with real ligures to prove that advertising
pays.
Craddock-Terry Co. make line shoes?
that goes without saying?for a continued
success never grew up for a snide articlo
The instances of meritorious goods becoming
t he leading brand in their field in foui
years without advertising are even scarcer
In speaking of this advertising Mr. Chas
G. Craddock says:
"Over a million people read Craddock
shoe ads every week.
"Tf our advertising were set un in single
columns," ho said, "and pasted|togethoi
they would make a strip of paper 0,525
miles long?long enough to reach from
New York to New Orleans, New Orleans k
San Francisco and from San Francisei
back to New Orleans."
"If the space which we will use this yoai
in advertising the Craddock shoe was sel
up in the ordinary size type by the old
hand method of type setting it would take
275,527 men a year to set up the type."
"Advertising," declared Mr. Craddock
"has the same effect upon a merchants
business that fertilizer has upon the soil
It produces growth, large crops and bettei
crops?large business and better business.'
