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. ^

THE FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS.
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

hey exhibited electrical apparatus,

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
