ments against the formation oi
"Catawba" tounty. Fort Mil

county crowd by about 20 o
the most representative men o
the town and township.
The Catawba county enthu
siasts each wore a "Ca:awb;
County" badge and all appearec
confident that they would ge
the county. Governor Mannii j

Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candi
date for congress from this district,
calls attention to the faci
that the Democratic, the Republican
and the Progressive
parties all endorsed Rural Creditf

Congress has passed a genera
backing bill for mercantile purposes,
and boasts that it is t it
greatest in the world. Wh>
did they forget the party pledge
of all of the parties to take cart
of the farmer? Is the law now
proposed calculated, if passed,
to relieve the need?
He will have more to say later
about this proposed law.

"J EZWEIL."
"Jewel" is a 5-part photoplay of infinite tenderness, charm and
refinement. No coarse, slap-stick scenes or acting. It is dainty,
sweet and humorous; it makes one cry one minute and laugh the
next, although the laugh always borders close on tears. "Jewel"
comes into a wealthy household, containing the "worst afraid"
and "sorriest" woman in the world; a gruff, soured old codger,
and a mercenary mother and daughter. The settings are of great
wealth. Little "Jewel" transforms this household of scheming
intrigue which lies "under the shadow of hatred" into a haven of
warmth and love and tenderness.
"Jewel" was shown in Rock Iiiil a short time ago to a capacity
house, the manager of The Majestic Theatre being present.
Remember, "Jewel" will be here
Next Monday, April the 17th.
Shows begin promptly at 3, 4:30. 6, 7:30 and 9 p. m.
