He was of a breed that knew not bit nor bridle—a king among his kind—the vast plains for his kingdom, a herd of mares for his subjects, a high cliff for his throne, from which he kept eternal vigilance. The Black is the beautiful, wild stallion whose story of love and fidelity is told in << The King of Wild Horses,” a Pathepicture. The horse, untamed and powerful, really a king among his kind, per forms many daring stunts. With out a rider on his back he leaps across a broad chasm; he fights off a white stallion who tries to steal llis herd; he rushes into the fiery lurnace of a forest fire; he dives from a high cliff into a swirling whirlpool. “The King of Wild Horses” will be the main attraction at the Ala mo theatre Saturday. Edna Mur phy, Leon Bary, Charles Parrott, Patt Hartigan and Sidney DeGrey play the leading roles. Fred Jack man directed. TIFTON FAIR DRAWS LARGE CROWDS DESPITE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
