"The Road To Ruin" Juvenile delinquency is one of the most tragic developments of present day America that the public must take cognizance of. It is a problem that threatens the future if not the very life of youth in every family. Changing living conditions, changing moral standards, unavoidable unhealthy contacts, coupled with growing parental neglect, have combine.! to produce a mental attitude in the rising generation that is causing the authorities and thinkers of the nation grave concern. In " The Road to Ruin," which comes to The Majestic Theatre, Camdon, one day only, Monday, July 22, this problem is dealt with frankly and fearlessly and the inevitable disastrous results of youthful folly and parental neglect are ably depicted. The picture is very pointed in its treatment of its subject. This Is necessary to be effective and at the same time it is not overdrawn. The characters enact n story the parall?] of which is published in the news papers almost every day. It has th?. faculty of opening the eyes of par ents to modern conditions and i should go far to create a new ant better understanding between parent and children on these present day matters and questions. I ho Road to Ruin" is exceedingly well done from the standpoint of con tir.uity and in its technical phases? t deals in particular with the merr capors of a pretty blonde high schot girl with her boy friends and inci dentally uncovers a couple of find in the feminine leads. Helen Foste exotic and charming, plays the dt mure little school girl in a marveloc manner while Virginia Roye, as ht girl friend, beyond a doubt has th* spark from which great stars ai made. Others in this remarkabl well cast picture are Grant Wither recently seen support of Corinr Griffith, Dolores Costello and Bet1 Compson, Tommy Carr, Charles Mi ler and an old favorite of all tjjov fans, Florence Turner.

C., June 28.?Horace Kephart, author, explorer of the heart of the Great Smoky Mountain*, and authority on these mountains, and George Masa, of Aaheville, have returned fron^ eijfht days in the virgin timber. After yearn of research in the hidden fastnesses of the Smoky Mountains Mr. Kephart was thrilled over the eights they had seen when he told of where they had been on this trip. Mr. Kephart said: "We drove up to Reagan's in a car and then on from there to Bradley^ Fork on horse back, and across Hughes Ridge. Af-1 ter crossing Hughes Ridge we went j up Knloe Creek, which is not marked j on any map, to its source, one-half ' mile below the top of the Great Smo-1 kies. It was hard on the horses but1 they made it. Our camp was made. 5,000 feet above sea level. "From the summit of the Smokies we looked over the Greenbrier country of Tennessee. This section that man has never penetrated and never wiil as it is a vast gulf, rugged, steep, rocky. Very beautiful with many kinds of wild flowers and shrubs seen. We saw plenty of bear track signs, wild turkey and wild dogs. I never knew there were wild dogs in these mountains until this trip but there | are. They have been here for a long^ time, natives told us, hut Mark ('a-, they told me he had seen two that j had been captured in a dog trap. "From this camp we moved over' l<> Three Forks of the Raven prong} of Gutty, directly under Mt. Guyot.l andtook pictures in this section. "In my opinion this is the most beautiful section 1 have ever seen. Acres and acres of purple rhododendron in bloom, but just la-ginning to fade and also thousands of large fringed purple orchids growing three - feet high,, ahla/.e with bloom. The stream is wonderfully beautiful in its natural wilderness. Water clear as ai crystal and embowered with many j other lovely flowers, and a wild natu- ' ral wood's growth. It can't be surpassed, I believe. Mr. Masa brought from there many lovely pictures. There U no sign of man's presence , there. The only sign of barbarism we ' found was an old log camp that was the dirtiest camp I was ever in. Bu: that whole section is natural and beautiful. "Near our camp was a spruce tree 162 feet high by actual measurement, straight and slender as a ship's mast. We slept or* the ground too tired at night to get in boughs to make us a comfortable bed. It rained some but there were no hard storms. Another unusual thing was in the eight dasfi; ! we were out I did not see any kind of a snake. This was remarkable. To give you an idea of how ?ough the way is. we left our camp to return at Three Forks and came back to Reagan's, a distance of nine miles and were 4 hours and 40 minutes. It was hard work, as hard as any I have ever done. The trail is steep though it isn't a stiff climb all the way. Trees have fallen, there is some underbrush and rocks but it would be very easy to cut out a trail through here with litttle expense and then one could go in a hurry to Three Forks on horseback. This will be don?, I am sure, when the Park is opened and their engineers come in. The United States is the largest leather producing country in the world. Rockefeller at 90 in Perfect Health. Tarry town, New York, July 8.?J. D. Rockefeller, mnster of the fine art of living, celebrated his 90th birthday anniversary today. Observance of i the day brought little deviation from - the daily routine by which the veteran : oil magnate has learned to be healthy 1 .nd happy. Pntering his 91st year Mr. Rocke; feller is the dean of world figures. - Thomas A. Kdison and President Hint denburg, of Germany, are 82. George 1 H. Putnam, publisher, :> 85. Georges * Clemenceau. the grand old man of * France, is 87. One biographer has predicted Mr. Rockefeller will live tc . he 100. Hut ho himselt professc? - never to think of the termination ol - his life. "I am too busy trying to b< y useful." In- explained. d 1 oday marks the close of the thir< i- decade since, having amassed oni s billion dollars, Mr. Rockefeller relin r, quished his business to his son. In those .50 years he has evolved i i-' philosophy of life based on*modera n tion and quiet activity so that whil it at f>0 he was a semi-invalid, today h o announced that ho was in perfec y health, scanning the future with chee ?? and hope. ie In a statement he said: "I hav -y every reason to be grateful on m 1- 90th birthday.

Wood by lust Congress is further indication of the lack of precedent in such matters, says The Pathfinder. Much depends on the interest and generosity of the particular Congress. After some criticism of Unclo Ham's niggardliness towards the widows of presidents, Mrs. Wilson is finally assured of an annual federal stipend of <5,000. But it took four years for a Republican administration to put this widow of a Democratic president on the pension roll. While the $5,000 may now be considered customary in the case of a president's widow, it is not so in the cases of widows of lesser officials. Consequently, the simultaneous granting of a like sum to the wife of the lute Maj. Gen. Leonard "Wood is a decided innovation, particularly since the same Congress saw fit to grapt only $3,000 a year to the widow of Vice Presider^ Marshall, and thought it was establishing a precedent in so doing. If Mrs. Marshall had been agreeable to a pension in 1027 she might now be receiving $5,000, for that was the amount stipulated in a bill in- j treduced at the time. But, Mrs. ?arshall discouraged action, explaing that proceeds from the sale of r late husband's memoirs had exceeded her expeditions. Because that income has presumably fallen j off a pension is now welcome, even if it is $2,000 under the first proposal. 1 Mrs. Marshall is the only widow of a vice president to receive a pensiqr. us such, though Congress has granted pensions to the widows of eight presidents?Polk, Tyler, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt and Wilson. Hut these were not all for $5,000. Mrs. Tyler started off with $100 u month us a widow-pensioner of the War of 1812. ?Mrs. Lincoln, the first president's 1 widow to be paid a pension as such, i had a hard time getting any money 1 from the government. Though her pleading letters are attributed to ! mental duress in the declining years of her life, this does not entirely remove the challenge to government parsimony contained in them. _ For a while Mrs. Lincoln had only the $25,000 due her from the government after paying her husband's funeral expenses. Later she was given a $3,000 pension which was finally increased to $5,000. Mrs. Garfield was more fortunate. She received $50,000 due her from her husband's salary, in addition to a $5,000 pension. But Mrs. Harrison received a single payment of $25,000 and no pension. Nor did Dolly Madison get a pension, though Congress was charitable enough to grant her payment of $39,000 for manuscripts of her husband's "Debates in Congress, 1782 to 1787." Tennessee friends had to sign a petition for a pension for Mrs. Polk. Mrs. Adams was given the franking privilege only. This right to send mail without stamps was also granted Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Grant, Mrs.. Harrison, Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Madison, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Wilson. Though there is no record on file of a widow of a president declining a pension, the Bureau of Pensions advises the Pathfinder that Mrs. Cleveland called a halt to efforts to obtain a pension for her. Mrs. Harding did not need one, having been left nearly $350,000 by her ; husband. Incidentally, Mrs. Wood found Cuba more generous than the United States for prior to this time she had been receiving only $30 a month from Uncle Sam, a stipend based on hSV husband's military service, whereas that little island republic was paying her $500 a month?and continues to do so?in recognition of his work in its behalf. In addition to her pension from the government, 'Mrs. Roosevelt also draws an annuity from the Carnegie estate for being a president's widow, as also does Mrs. Cleveland. Our government has never pensioned its ex-presidents, yet Chief Justice Taft receives $10,000 a year from the Carnegie Institutions by virtue of having once filled the presidential chair. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Coolidge, our only other living ex-president, takes advantage of this CatWgic benevolence. , The si>ecial acts granting federal pensions to the women mentioned do not say that such pensions cease in > event of remarriage, but the revised > statutes of the United States provides f that in trie case .of any widow who is , in re- of a federal pension and who i marries the oension shall j cease. That is the interpreta on placed ' v the Pension Bureau on - pension * paid president's widows - This i- ^ ,en as one reason why Mrs, Cleveland declined a federal pension, a Her remarriage?she is now the wife _ pf Th.?ma> J. Preston, profess or of c archeology at Princeton?technically made her no longer a widow. However, this point is open to debate and it would require a test case and r * court ruling to determine for all time whether the pension would b? e forfeited. * Melvin Williamson, a marine ai home on furlough, is held in the Rsch r* land jail charged with the fata te shooting of Jim Driggers in Colum x. bin. Driggers knocked Williamsoi >r down and the latter eecured a shot gun inflicting fatal wounds on I>rig gers. Negro Town Will Put On Week's Festivity Mound Bayou, Misa., July 7.?This negro town of 1,600 without a jail will celebrate tomorrow the fortysecond anniversary of Ha founding with a program continuing throughout the week. Mound Bayou was settled in 1887 by Isaiah T. Montgomery and Benjamin T. Green. Montgomery, one of the best known negroes in the state, was born and reared on Brier Cliffe plantation, home of Jeffersou Davis, president of the Southern confederacy. ' His daughter, Mary C. Booze, Republican national committee woman, of Mississippi, also was born on the Davis plantation and today she, with lier husband, Eugene P. Booze, operates a cotton gin and a saw mill here and a 1,000 acre plantation nearby. At the time the town was founded, this part of Boliver county was a semi-tropical malarial wilderness without a railroad. It has grown into a modern community surrounded by rich cottoii farms worth upwards o | $200 an acre. Six thousand negroes reside in the rural area adjoining Mpund Bayou and the section is one of the most prosperous in the state. The town is exclusively negro and governed solely by negroes. It was incorporated in 1808 and its present mayor is B. A. Green, son of one of the founders and a graduate of Fisk University and the Harvard Law school. The town has two colleges, B;iptist college and Camboll colleges. Sheriff J. L. Smith, of Cleveland, Miss., savs Mound Bayou has less disorder and fewer arrests than any other community in Bolivar county. The jail was torn, down several months ago because it had not had an occupant in two years. Cleveland Garland, aged 10, of the Lone Oak section of Spartanburg county, died ^in a Spartanburg hospital Saturday after suffering in great agony from tetanus. The lad stuck a splinter in his foot which was removed but the wound became infected, causing lockjaw. H. B. Willis, white man convicted in York of stealing $10 from a filling station, pitched a feigned fit when Judge Henry sentenced him to serve three years. When he came to Judge Henry told him if he tried that again in his court he would give him another year. Willis had no more fits. When pistols began to pop, in a miniature war near Orangeburg Saturday night where negroes were staging a dance and the smoke of' battle had cleared away two negroes were found to be slain and others injured. Brantley Stevens and Babe Ayers were the dead negroes. Ayers is said to have started the fuss by pulling his woman from an automobile.
