Rumors finally came to Headland's ear. He questioned his wife. She confessed, "I love Rosco?," sh? tsaid. Hoagland took one .of n>s children find went to live with his parenls at Wyckoff. Last Saturday Roscoe and M>a. Bcagland returned to the humble Westward cottage. The neighbors protested. They said in effect: "Don't sell your body and soul for that man's wealth. Remember your good husband and children." Monday night the two penitents appeared at the home of I'astor Decker of the Westwood church. Contritely they confessed, would the deserted wife and the deserted husband forgive? The preacher sent for them Loth. Mrs. Roscoe arrived and took her rival in her arms and assured her that if Hoagland would not take her b<>ck she couki make her home at Pearl River. Tue&day night, Hoagland, his heirt torn with anguish, appeared at the parsonage. JJe said: "I love Ethel deeply, but I can not fcrgive. It's too la+e now, for today I filed suit for divorce." A vigilance commi^e has been formed. When it finis Roscoe h-? will be tarred and feathered and given a r:de 'on a rail, accordmc? to threats that were made tonight.

He did j not use any poison; he did not use much fertilizer but he worked that ; cotton to a fare-you-well, plowing it I sometimes twice a week. I Here is his letter: | Mr. X. A. Craig:, Greenwood, S. C. "\^ir letter to hand in regard to the statement by Mr. Jackson as to the amount of corton made by me last year and in reply I will say that Mr. Jackson was mistaken in the amount or got the acres mixed and his number of bales of cotton was also wrong. The correct statement is that I had one hundred and ten acrets in cotton last year and made one hun-1 dred bales of cotton. I can not tell you anything special I did but constant work. I plowed my cotton sometimes twice a week or would run around it once and put a middle furrow in it the same week. I did not use any poison but I picked up squares as much as I could. I think the constant work is what didr the work for me as I only used 200 pounds of standard fertilizer. i Another thing that proves that it was work that gave me the 'cig'yield [ had is this fact: I run 52 plows on ny place by renters, plows run by r enters and worked by colored labor.; These fifty-two plows made only six'? 4. 4-V.a "J oaies UI cut tun, auuui uan wj. hic -ent and nothing for supplies and guano.

Shealv, chairman of the commission. An order of the commission, making the lower rates effective July 1, will be issued by the commission in the near future. | The request for the commission's agreement to the reduction came to :he commission from the trunk lines through R. A. Brand of Wilmington, N\ C., vice president of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, acting for all trunk lines carrying intrastate freight. The reduction will not affect farm products rates, which were reduced approximately 10 per cent in January and does not concern the smaller .lines unless voluntarily entered into by them. The interstate commerce commission's ruling was not mandatory but only granted authority to the railroads to make the 10 per cent reduction.

'THE SHIEK'S WIFE" HAS MANY ARABIAN SCENES j Temple Ruins and Desert Sands form Background fcr Spectacular Film of the Orient "The Shirk's Wife," one of the biggest French motion picture productions ever made, will-be shown at the opera house Tuesday, June 13. The scenes were actually filmed in Arabia. "The Shiek's Wife" is regarded as the very cream of i)'g foreign film creations now available for American marketing. "The Shiek's Wife," by its very nature, would have been next to imnrccnHl^ tn nlnt tfi the best advantage in this country. A troupe of players and technical men made the voyage from Marseilles to Arabia, and then made the journey to the deserts of the interior by caravan. There a countless number of distinctly beautiful and really unique "shots" were made. The undulating sandhills, the bare,* treeless mountains in the hazy distance and the palm-studded oases make fitting backgrounds for this great story of love and lovers. Picturesque ruins of an ancient temple were among the discoveries of the invading film men, and .these are among the locales used for scenes which are pictoriall.v magnificent, and which certainly are different from those glimpsed by American audiences. Added to this appeal of isheer beauty and quaintness is the deep appeal of a weird and passionate love stot\v, dramatic and at times primitive. 'The Shiek's Wife'' represents a flittering gem of art in a setting of convincing realism. "The Shiek's Wife" rings true down to the tiniest detail. All of the extra and a few of the important roles were played by natives whose repugnance to face the curious eye of the moving picture camera faded at the sight of silver. Some of these "players," 'by the way, are real and almost priceless Arabian steeds. This correctness in the detail of Eastern life and customs will be a welcome change to an American public not used to it. The French company has a distinct advantage over an A.merican one in this instance. One cannot view "The Shiek's Wife" with its unquestion able accuracy of local color, and fail to realize this. "KISSES" USEDTN BETTY'S BUSINESS Alice Lake Will Appear in New Metro Photoplay of Business and Bon-Bons The resourcefulness of the present day American girl when thrown "on her own" is strikingly portrayed in "Kisses," Alice Lake's latest Metro picture, which will be shown at the opera house Thursday, Jane 15. "Kislcs" is the f.tory of the struggle of Betty Estabrook to reimburse her dead' father's creditors by eribarking in a venture It: which s'ie learns not a little about :ne difficulties of playing the busier game. She goes into the -manufacture of o-Kissed Kandv with two friends?cne a girl, the other man. In spite of the attempt of 'an unscrupulous competitor dimmed her spirit unbroken. Through discouragements incidental to the launching of the new business, Betty bravelv on. her courage un **oo - ^ / ? dimmed, her spirt unbroke. Throughout the picture the complications involved in her business struggle and the effort of two men to win her love provide a series of tense situations which make this picture of thrilling interest. In the supporting cast are such well known players as Harry Myers, Edward Connelly, Edward Jobson, Dar.a Todd, Mignon Anderson and John Mackinnon. "Kisses" is a Maxwell Karger production from the v,Vwjt Tn-no Ma till'e nn a avciiaiiu *j j w uuv i/mwwv. w? story by May Tully. Smile On You got to keep or. smilin' However hard the way.

FAT PEOPLE SHOWN HOW TO GROW THIN l1 A film that is bound to attract an unusual amount of attention because of its novelty, combining, as it doea, both humor and valuable information, ' is to be shown at the opera house Thursday. June 1 ">. It is called "How to Grow Thin*' and is an educational special. i; The fear of becoming over-fat is a ntal issue in the lives of the vast majority of women and of many. iMonv mp'i "Xohndv lovffi a fat man," is taken by women to apply to their own sex more than to the male contingent of the human race. When the health commissioner of New York city some time a.sro held classes in which he taught women how to reduce, there was a stampede of stout. women io get into the class. News-, papers all over the country took no-: tice of the experiment, and it was! followed with great interest by peo- j pie in San Francisco as well ?6 on. Broadway. ' ^ *mm "How to Grow Thin" is destined to j i ' attract just as much attention. It j carries the message of how to keep j i that youthful figure, to every person J ' in the country who will step into a : , theater to receive it. But "How to Grow Thin'' is also a! comedy. It tells the story of a couole who fn their younger days were 1 normal in size. But when they "set-, ; tied down" things began to change, * Mr. Heza Gobbler and his wife, Ima Gobbler, are sure to give the patrons ol the opera nouse as many jau^ii* as any comedy that has been shown in many weeks. Its fun will be entertainment for all. But it will carry a vital lesson for many people in each audience. The simple method that it describes for losing eight pounds a month, is one that can be followed with the greatest of ease in your own home. I Everybody who likes a laugh at rhe expense of the fat man or woman, and everybody who is seeking an easy way to lose some of the extra weight that is making life a little less enjoyable, should see "How to Grow Thin." | Bridal Party Entertained Edgefield Advertiser, 17th.

' 1 A Powerful Advertisement Time was when a page ad appeared j in a country newspaper it was considered a big thing. Readers would open their eyes in astonishment and remark that "a whole page" was occupied by oe merchant in a single advertisement. But the one-page ad has been eclipsed by the American Sale? company with the Copeland Bros, goods, in a dou'ole page, a "twin page," two whole pages in one. It is advertising on a gigantic scale. It . is a tremendous display of energetic " force and nerve on the part of these fearless merchants. It is a stupendous feat of advertising accomplish ment and an able array of sales facts. (We make words when we want 'em to lit.) Whether you spell advertisement with a small 6 or a little z, or pronounce it advertis-mert with the accent on the second syllable or. in full with the accent on the tise or tize, dwell upon the immensity of it. Think of "a whole two" pages, equalling fourteen columns of reading matter. Wonderful. In the language of the ad., we believe it to be "a sale that will electrify Newberry," in that it will be "smashing all records for amazing value giving," because it 1? going to be a sale with a magnitude attachment, a very "carnival of bargains." Mammoth is the word.
