"The Traitor." n "The Traitor," which comes to the opera house Thursday, December 14, is is another of Thomas Dixon's striking stories of the Southland, which is 1likely to excel in popu;1arity anything er the author has yet written. It has as mya background the peculiar conditions mthat prevailed in North Carolina at ss the close of the Civil War, vwhen that 2e State was overrrn by spurious imita tion of the pov:erfully Ku Klux Klan. It is an absorbing story cf love and~ rivalry, of mountain prejudice and mountain hospitality, full of deep in s1 terest and feeling of the time, that, [ f the reconstruction period, vivid in* dramatic pictures and forceful in char sacterization Mr. Dixon, who has col aborated wit the gifted young dra esmatist Channing Pollock, know their ie types w.l and are fully aciluainted s with !he 1Mstory of the countr~y in: adwh the e.cene is laid and they have; 7produced a play so fascinating, so: t-vigorous, so stirring in action, so full a- of shrewd humor and of vitality that it can not achiev:e a greater success ae than it deserves. "The Traitor" is a~ idrama of more- than historic verity th' and of abounding incident, pictures b- quely depicted and rich in the impas s sioned romance of the place and time. to There is woven in:to the plan a love a-. story charmingly told. "The Traitor' sa play of humor and dramatic thrills. Stirring and laughable scene~ kalternate along it's shcres like~ tile whirl-pools and eddies of a mountain. stream. The United States court room scene is a joy; the Ku Klux Klan meet ul ing at the Inwood ruins a spectaclc, at the fight is a thril:ler, the troubles of rAunt Julie Ann with her -rival qaus hbands a comedy, the surprise at the murder of Judge Butler at the birthday party ball given in honor of Stella, :a )tragedy, the final climax a whirl of excitement. "The Traitor" plays upon the heart-: strings, purging the human passions tlove and pity and terror and powerful ly impresses it'~s pictures upon imagi sI nation and memory. d Like it's famous predecessor 'The e Clansman," "The Traitor" has been is vigorously 'denounced by negroes jwherever it appeared, but their hostil-, ldity has not yet succeeded in barring the progress of athe play which is now. i in it's third successful season. The company includes such well dl; knowu players as Fred. H. Hargraves,: s Alfred Aldrige, Mark Harrison, J. H. " Lehmberg, Charles Webster, Willis: y Evans, Samuel G. Wi'ngfield; F. W. d- Kohman, Franklin James, Alice New of, ell, Kate Mayhew, Mindel Price, Adele .LeRoy and others. f Sentence Commuted. ns, Gov.

Southern Bell Will Notify One Hun. 31 dred'Thousand Business Men To day to Come to Show. A big impetus will be givien the second annual South Atlantic Corn! n exposition today when the Southern s Bell Telephone company delivers a, c message to more than 100,000 business e men, farmers and leading citizens, s ur-:'g their interest and attendance. d The message will be telephoned by 1L managers and other representatives o of the Southern Bell Telephone com pany and will reach practically the 0 entire telephone-using population of t North and South Caroli.a and Geor gia. The message is as follows: y "The s$cond annual South Atlantic s Corn exposition will be held in Co- c lumbia, S. C., December 11 to 16. in- t cluFive, under the auspices -' the de- c partment of agriculture of the State; C of South Carolina. This exposition e will encourage diversified farming and t! will tend to check the spread of the e boll weevil. it Will also )e of benefit C to the State in many other ways. For u this rea n the Southein Bell Tek-< phone company is assisting the agri- i1 cultural department of the State in. g this matter by extending to you an a urgent invitation to attend the exposi tion. They desire as ma.ny county ex hibits as can be -had and the attend once of as many Boys' Corn clubs as'e possible. Your :presence at the ex- tj position as well as yoir co-operation . in arousing widespread intere,zt in this enterprise will be appreciated by the commissioners in chirge of the exposi-!a tion as well as by the telephone com pany." In no other way could such a large yl number of people be communicated h with so quickly at such small cost. P The rapid developme'nt of the tele phone in the rural s.ctions of these st States has made it possible to reach more than 20,000 farmers and their families through the Bell system, and this new use of the- telephone is an- ti other demonstration of its value and s ecessity. P, A personal message from the State 1 department of agricultu;re delivered in ip this direct manner will appeal to thesse c farmers, and the indicati~ons are that p t.he attenda,nce at the corn exposition will be greatly increased. p THE SECOND BAZAAR. b Gcod Times and Christmas Presents B to be Had Cheap for Cash. fe The Philathea class of the First Bap tist c'hurchb will have a booth at the; bazaar conducted by the Ladies' Aid. .oiety of 'the Baptist3hurch, Decem- m er 15, in the stc.re formerly occupied by moving picture show.

This will afford evesry one an excellent oppor unity to buy a Christmas present for everybody cheap and also to be waited* mn by the young ladies of the class. N Church of the Redeemer. n (Rev. Edw.
