GREAT OFFICIAL
WAR FILM HERE
Six Reels Os Newly Developed
And Released Action Pictures
To Be Shown Tuesday
Showing at the Rylander Theater
Tuesday is the new official French
and United States war film, “The
Great Adventure.” This very in
teresting film, consisting of six reels,
is shown in Georgia for the first time,
it having been released but a few
days ago. It has been carefully as
sembled and edited in the labora
tory of the war department from the
thousands of feet of undeveloped
negatives taken by official photogra
pher in France during the progress
of the war. The scenes are entirely
new and striking ones, showing fur
the first time such striking views as
the actual sinking of Allied vessels
by the famous German U-boat No.
34 in her memorable cruise early
during the summer of 1918, when
twenty-two large merchant vessels
were sent to the bottom of the ocean.
With the film is contained, too, the
first complete pictorial record of the
battle of the Meuse-Argonne, and
I the great number of Americus people
I who last year attended the showing
i of “Flashes of Action” will remember
I the very thrilling and historical views
of the battle contained in that re
markable film.
“The Great Adventure” deals with
the historical romance of the trans
portation of over two million Ameri
can soldiers to the European battle
front during the days of 1918. The
ultimate triumph of these same men
in the crowning victory of the Ar
gonne; the pursuit into Germany, and
later President Wilson’s dramatic de
parture for France are all very vivid
ly shown in this amazing film.
“The Great Adventure’ ’has been
released by the war department in re
sponse to the numerous requests of
Legion posts that these historical
and intensely interesting scenes be
shown to the American people so that
they might have an opportunity of
seeing for themselves the absorbing
drama of the World War in all its
stirring realities. Many of the scenes
being even more vivid than those be
held by the individual combatant
whose eyes had never the range nor
the faculty of perception of the cam
era. Never again without another
war will the general public have an
opportunity of seeing pictures of
battle events which will live in his
tory. One cannot afford to miss it.

PERRY ANNOUNCES
TO SUCCEED HIMSELF
ATLANTA, June 12. —James A.
Perry, member of the railroad com
mission of Georgia, has issued his
formal announcement of candidacy
to succeed himself on the commis
sion, and says he is asking re-elec
tion “solely on the ground of con
structive service rendered.” In that
service, he says, he has at all times
“originated and voted for those rates
and policies which I have felt, in con
formity to the spirit of my oath and
duty were for the best interest and
greatest advantage to the whble com
munity interested.” Mr. Perry says
there is as much injustice to the pub
lic in rates which will retard growth
and progress, result in embarrass
ment and lead to bankruptcy as there
is in a rate which is excessive and
an imposition upon the public.
M L. BRITTAIN NOT TO
SEEK STATE JOB AGAIN
ATLANTA, June 12.—M. L. Brit
tain will retire from the office and
work of state superintendent of
schools at the end of this year.
The announcement, made Sunday,
has been suspected for some weeks
by Mr. Brittain’s friends that he
would not stand again for re-elec
tion and the additional belief, which
he now states as a fact, that he has
an “increasing distaste for politics.”
His statement came simultaneously
with the release by him of his an
nal report.
Mr. Brittain has served in this
state office twelve years and, besides
the remarkable work he has done for
educational advancement in this state
he has the distinction of being the
only state superintendent in the en
tire South who has ever been twice
elected president of the “Council of
Forty-Eight,” composed of the coun
try’s foremost educators.
Dr. J. R. Statham returned Satur
day from a business trip of a week in

TYPHOID HERE
Dr Bond Urges Public To Accept
Free Service To Prevent
Fever
Reports from the State Board of
Health show that during the year
1921, 787 deaths occurred in Georgia
from typhoid fever. That equals a
death rate of 27.52 per 100,000. The
report also shows that typhoid fever
is on the increase. The counties
w’here health activities were carried
on the rate is lower than for the
state-at-large. We were a little
more fortunate in Sumter coun’y for
I our death rate was only 12 per 100,-
■ 000, and I attribute our reduction to
I the free use of vaccines and the in
i stallation of nearly a thousand sep-
■ tic tanks and fly-proof privies.
j The vaccine Used to prevent ty
phoid fever has been tried and is no
longer an experiment. It is as satis
factory as the vaccins used to pre
vent smallpox. Those who have died
of typhoid fever in Sumter county
I had not been vaccinated. It is esti
mated that one death occurs in every
ten cases of typhoid fever and that
each case costs $200.00 or more, in
dollars and cents, showing that Sum
ter county lost last year more than
ten thousand dollars on account of
this one disease, which is preventa
ble.
Don’t wait until some member of
the family is stricken with this mal
ady. Be vaccinated now—it’s free.

Commissioner of Health.
