JENK1NS0N |: Great Film Sbow Coming. ] "The Birth of a Nation," D W f * Griffith's massive spectacle, coming ( to the school auditorm, Kingstree, j Friday and Saturday, December 7 and 8, with matinee daily, is the } largest and most important produc- t | tion of a decade, yet not a word is s spoken throughout the performance j of nearly three hours. Music supplies the absence of speech, mechanical effects and realism, while the j wizzard of the screen, David W Griffith, unfolds in 12,000 feet of ( film the thrilling romance of the war between the States and the t reconstruction of the Southland. ^ Some idea of its magnitude may be had from the fact that 18,000 actors and 3,000 horses took part and that j the staging of this great "outdoor" c drama cost half a million dollars. j Several of the actors are of South- j em lineage. Henry Walthall, who t plays the heroic role of the little s Confederate colonel, is a member of j the well-known Walthall family of g Alabama. Miriam Cooper, who appears as Margaret Cameron, is a c L rioaronHnnt nf Charles Carroll, UIIWV VIVWWmv.?.mv the Maryland signer of the Declara- j tion of Independence. Mr Griffith iis the son of a brigadier general of c the Confederate army. For every character, however t small, Mr Griffith has found just the v personality needed. After that his z masterly direction made each one t give a perfect characterization of t the widely varying roles. The resuit was not acting but life itself. Such realism is never seen on the t old-fashioned stage. The limitations t of the theatre were swept away for j. Nature was Mr Griffith's stage. s Panorama after panorama is reveal- f ed to the astonished eyes of the c spectator. The most inventive im- c agination could hardly picture to j itself such scenes of splendor. ^ Have you seen our line of Grafo- ? nolas?

Both White and Colored People Deserve , Much Credit for this Fine Outcome. I The third annual fair by the Williamsburg County Fair association closed Friday night under cireum-1 3tances that crowned the occasion as j a success and gave new and brighter hope for its future to all who arej interested in an agricultural fair by and for the people of Williamsburg county. The two last days of the fair, rhursday and Friday, were truly the big days. Thursday was denominated as "Educational Day" - "? n? ?? i ana maay as i^euro uuy, auu n did our heart good to see the great :oming together of so many people on these days, especially of school children. The ugly weather during the first days of the week looked as if it would mar the occasion, but this condition gave way on Wednesday to a more glorious and propitious Thursday and Fridny and these two days will henceforth be regarded as epochal events in the history )f the county's white and colored schools. The parade by the white schools )n Thursday was an inspiring sight. The children, every one, frem the tiniest of tots to the practically fullrrown, was thoroughly imbued ffith the spirit of the time. The ioats were attractively gotten up in i style symbolical of the crisis the tountry is now in and the onelfurfished by the Indian town school, representing the United States at var, won most ravorame recogni;ion and the prize banner. Other ichools having attractive floats were Hulberry, Suttons and Kingstree. Friday the colored people turned >ut en masse and in point of num>er admitted into the fair grounds, vas not far behind the large crowd >f the preceding day. The prorramme of exercises was opened by he Rev W M Mouzon, a well-known 'ormer Kingstreean, in a very ferrant and appropriate prayer. D L Fulton, principal of the Tominson Graded school, was master of eremonies and next introduced Dr j fos A Mason, who made a very time- ( y talk to the thousands who gave j heir undivided attention, on the ubject of Education, stressing the mportance of sanitation, and an unelfish cooperation in all matters : >ertaining to the ultimate welfare if the colored race. Dr Mason introduced the speaker 1 if the occasion, Rev R F Harrington. >astor of one of the local colored i hurches. The line of thought chos- j n by Rev Harrington was quite ap- i >ropriate and well expressed. There i vas a number of leading white citizens of the county present to hear i hese colored men speak, and from j hem came many expressions of j iraise. i Last week we had time and space 1 o touch only upon a part of the ineresting things that were going on n the big administration building, < o here and now we must make a ew remarks upon the splendid work < if the Woman's Service League, an i organization that was born and has ts being as a result of the great war i ve have gone into to win or die. j dany of those who partook of the i rood, wholesome food supplied by 1 hese patriotic ladies, did not know, ] it the time, perhaps, that they were lelping a work so unselfish and no >Ie as these ladies are carrying on, i >ut it should be remembered that < ivery cent they earned will be spent i n an effort to ameliorate the suffer ng and make easier the burdens that nust be borne by our fighting forces n the army and navy. The money aken in amounted to about $400. There were a number of very crelitable exhibits by Kingstree's busiless firms. Most noteworthy among hem was the booth of the King9tree 'urniture Co, fitted out in the style if a splendid drawing room. The iiegling Music house and J L Gaitey had an attractive line of musical nstruments on display in their res1 i? T TT If.'ll? 1 T 17 >ecuve Dooms; j n miner ana j v barter each had a booth, in which hey exhibited electrical apparatus, deal outfits for country homes and arm uses. The Williamsburg Live Stock Co lad an exhibit space, in which was lisplayed one of their large farm vagons, harness and numerous other irticles that go to make up their itock in trade. The Kingstree Drug :o was represented with a nice line toilet articles. pt.c. C J ThomDson ind H H King, automobile agents, ?ach had an attractive booth in the form of a garage occupied by a demonstration car. The King Hardware Co had a very ittractive booth, showing mainly its ine of stoves and heaters. A complete list of prize winners in the various departments is not yet obtainable, but at the poultry house we learned that at least one blue ribbon had been awarded J H Epps, or rather to his pen of beautiful Rhode Island Red chickens. Chief Epps is a good poultryman, as well &s a good "cop," this much any one who saw his birds and appreciates pretty chickens will admit. There lOCAlfl rns y W F Joye of Excelton was ir town Tuesday.

The prize was awarded Mrs Eugene Johnson as the lucky guesser. Durgin the afternoon progressive conversation was enjoyed, in the midst of which little Madder Brown and Katherine Baggett came in as amateur washerwomen bearing a basket laden with many lovely articles of usefulness which they placed at the feet Jof Mrs Mims saying, "Missus, here's your cloe's."
