and he offered to teach the prectv
wife how to drive it. This plan was
agreeable to Hoagland. Ke trusted
Roscoe.
Long after she h.\j learned to
drive Roscoe continaed his visits to
Westwood. Invariably he woaid appear
after Hoagland had gone to ft is
work in New York.
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

Despite the Fact That Boll Weevil

lit was true and how ho did it.
j Mr. Adams replies in a letter that
; the report is true and the way he did
jit was by working his crop. 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'?

RATES ON FREIGHT

Approval to Interstate Commission
Ruling
The State.
Reduction of approximately 10 per
cent on all intrastate freight state
on Class 1 railroads, the large trunk
lines, has been authorized by the
state railroad commission in agreement
with the recent ruling of the
interstate commerce commission, ac'nvfiiro'
+.n tliA announcement of
w"*r> wv
Frank W. 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.
Trunk lines throughout the

country nave agi'eea io trie luwtri
rates and the smaller railroads are
expected to follow suit.
The commission meets next Wednesday
and the order, carrying the
commission's approval o* the reduction,
is expected to be issued at that
time. >

'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

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." |

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.
