A GREAT PICTURE.
Wien yen' soo a photo-play out of tho
ordinary these days of Bupor-foatures
that 1s of such outstanding merit and In
terest that It attracts unusunl attention,
tho picture demands more than passing
comment. “The Three MuBkotoors,”
produced nud netod by Dougins Fair-
Imnks in the role of “D’Ai-tagnau,”
shown nt l'hu Alamo this week, Is with
out doubt one of the finest romantic pro
ductions ever mndo for the American
screen, and wns thoroughly enjoyed by
overy patron of tho theatre.
Tho picture opens with the lonve-tnk-
ing of a Gascon youth from Ids old fa
ther, and his journey upon n curiously-col
ored old horse to seek his fortune with
the bravos of Paris. . His, successful In
troduction Into tho life of the “King’s
Musketeers, ” nml tho friendship formed
with the throo mUBkotoors, “Atlios,”
Porthos" and Arnmis,” Is delightfully
delineated. The main part of the play
Is takon up with the famous Incident uf
tho qneou’s jowols, presented to hor by
the king, and by hor given to tlie Duke
of Buckingham, who is wildly I11 love
With the queen. Tho crafty nml all-
powerful Richelieu observes tills indiscre
tion of tho quoon nml plnns to bring hor
to public ruin by making the king In
sist on tho quoon wearing the jowol at
the next ball. Thereupon the trusty
D’Artagnan,” with his throo frionds,
undertake to go to England nml bring
back tho jowol in time for the ball
Overcoming; seemingly Insurmountable
obstacles placed in their wn.v by the car
dlnnl, the mission, Is successful, but tho
comrades of 11 D’Artngnnn ” linve fallen
by tho wnysldo, and ho alone is forced
to oomploto the work nml receive the
glory.
Dumas novor wrote a more entertain
ing book, nnd Fairbanks’ version is
equally thrilling nml ontortnlnlng. As
the awkward but impetuous youth he ex
cites lnughtor and approval, nud as a
bold and enterprising adventurer ho
measures up to tho standard of tho fa
mous book. Everything about tho play
is adequate—particularly the great sup
port rendered tho principal by a cast
of unusunl ability. It is a great picture,
clean and wholosomo, nnd worthy of high
praise.
The Junior Order of United Ameri
can Mechanics is a patriotic ami benevo

NEWNAN
THE CITY PRIMARY BROUGHT OUT
HEAVY VOTE.
With .1,136 voters of both sex6s regis
tered, with three candidates for tho may
oralty, b!x candidates for plncos on tho
aldonnamc board, and four candidates
for membership on tho Board of Educa
tion with only two to bo chosen, Satur
day’s primary brought out the heaviest
vote over polled -in a city election here.
Tlio addition of 403 women to the list
of registered votors was nn olqmont of
uncertainty In tlio situation ns novel ns
it wns elusive, and kopt the old-timers
guessing. This new factor in city poli
ties had thorn dumfuzzlod, and they, were
not long in realizing that it was a forco
to bo reckoned with. Two of Nownnn’s
most popular aVd prominent women wore
contesting for plncos on tlio Board of
Education, and the activity of their fol
lowers in bringing out the fominist voto
cvlncod a familiarity with “the game
as it is played” that-was viewed with
alarm by the male contingent congregat
ed about tho polls, who couldn’t make
’em out nt all. Tlio male opponents of
tho two women candidntos wore scared
stiff, und stood holplossly nsido whllo
the women stormed the bullot-box and
challenged, bantered or cajoled every
man who ventured near enough to be
accosted. Chairman Adams, who assist
ed in canvassing the returns, says that
fully 90 per cent, of the registered wo
man vote was polled, but some of tho
more nervous candidates of the oppo
slto sex thought this figure too low—
that it looked for a time ns If 150 per
cent, would ‘ bo nearer correct. Taken
all In all—or iby and largo, ns Harvey
North would express it~it was tho
sprightliest contest that Newnan has wit-
nessedtf 1 many a day, and while the dear
womolP failed to elect their candidates,
it inuBt be admitted that they gave th-jir
male opponents on the ticket a run for
their money, so to spank.
Tho official count by the city exe.cu
tive committee Mondny morning showed
tho following result—!
For Mayor—J. L. Brown 470, W. C.
Kintmrd 271, X. H. Bngley 262.

brother-in-law, Mr. F. C. Underwood, of
Quitman, Ga., in designing the machino,
nnd the one exhibited hero was made in
the Hhops of the Southern Machine
Works at Quitman, owned by Mr. Un
derwood. It is an ingenious piece of
mechanism, constructed almost. entirely
of iron, and in size and appearance re
sembles somewhat a portable hayrake.
Two arms extend from the body on
either side, which cover two rows of
cotton and brush off the boll weevils
as it moves along. These are caught in
a wire netting and roll down into a pan
containing kerosene oil. Two pipes at
tached to a tank filled with water, spray
the cotton plants with a lino vapor, and
another pipe follows this with a poison
spray, Tho machine can be easily ad
justed, raised or lowered at will, and me
mule can pull it with little 'effort. Tho
cost of operation will not exceed 90e, per
acre, and it is estimated that one man
can cover ten to twelve acres a day. It
is the opinion of experienced cotton-
growers who have examined the machine
that it will destroy at least 75 per cent,
of the weevils that infest a cotton field.
Mr. Reese thinks the machine can be
manufactured at a cost that will make
the price to the fanner not more than
$200. If it accomplishes what it is de-
