thority all the affiliated organizations
and doing away with separate annual
meetings of the individual societies.
This proposition has been discussed
at the church conventions for several
years and it is paid to be a subject of
considerable diversity of opinion
among the delegates to the various
meetings.
Question of Immersion.
Another question being discussed
by the church delegates and which
some predict may be brought before
the convention for action is whether
the disciples of Christ shall receive
into communion persons who have not
been immersed. It is said that this
question r.rose over the action of the
California state convention of the
church several months ago in exclud
ing from representation in the con
vention delegates from a Berkley,
Calif., Christian Church which it was
said had received unimmersed persons
into full membership.
HOKE SMITH IS
HOME, OPTIMISTIC
Senator, in Georgia For a Few
Days, Declares Business Con
ditions Are Rapidly Being Ad
justed.
Atlanta, Ga. —Senator Hoke Smith,
home from Washington for a few days
declares that the prospects for a for
eign market for cotton are better than
three weeks ago and that business of
all kinds in this country is rapidly ad
justing itself to new conditions. He
repeated the statement he made at
Macon, that If the world had reliable
assurance that the next cotton crop
would be cut fifty per cent there
would arise an immediate demand for
cotton and high prices would be paid
for It.
Senator Smith says the reserve
bank in Atlanta will be in operation,
he is confident, by November Ist.
He believes there will be ample cur
rency during the coming winter in
the South to take care of the cotton
crop and that the market will go up
just as soon as the public becomes
confident of a decrease In acreage
next year.
“Reliable information indicates that
England will he a liberal buyer with
in sixty days,” he said. "We are ad
vised that English mills are resum
ing operations, and now that the
German occupation of France seems
less likely even the French spinners
are preparing to open their works
again.”

Theatricat
Notes ol Interest | j
“NEPTUNE’S DAUGHTER."
The coining engagement of Annette
Kellermann, in “Neptune's Daughter”
is exciting a keen interest among local
theatergoers for the very good reason
that Annette Kellermann is a general
favorite, and because ‘(Neptune's
Daughter" is something out of the
ordinary in the way of film entertain
ment. We are told that as a mer
maid, Annette, favorite daughter of
Neptune, Miss Kellermann has added
new laurels to her already brilliant
score, for here she is given an op
portunity for the first time to exer
cise a dramatic ability that enhances
the beauty of her aquatic skill.
Not only does this rare film exploit
the grace and charm of Miss Keller
mann but, it brings into prominence
those screen stars already famous for
their artistic productions in this
country and in Europe. Notable
among these are Leah Baird, Willlami
E. Shay, William Welsh, and that
most finished actor and director, Her
bert Brenon. The interpretation these
artists have given the wholesome and
diverting story from the pen of Cap
tain Leslie T. Peacocke has been a
subject of the most favorable com
ment; and the obvious delight with
which the audience enters into the
spirit of this imaginative story is it
self a tribute alike to the author and
the producer.
Neptune’s Daughter will be seen at
the Grand Theater for three days be
ginning next Tuesday. There will
j be daily matinee.
Acme Play for Tomorrow: “The Sol
diers of Fortune."
The Acme Picture Plays which are
being presented at the Grand under
the direction of Richard B. Tant will
embrace all of the foremost plays that
are being produced by the Brady, Shu
bert, and Klaw & Erlanger and other
producers of such standing. In other
words the Acme Picture Plays Com
pany will book and play only the best
productions put out by the open mar
kets of America and Europe.
The next play to be presented by
the Acme Picture Play Company will
he the play taken from the famous
story of Mr. Richard Harding Davis,
’’The Soldiers of Fortune,” which will
have as its star Mr. Dustin Farnum.
The play was produced by Mr. Augus
tus Thomas and will be given In four
acts. Mr. Thomas has surrounded this
celebrated star with a magnificent
supporting and he will also
be aided with the United States navy
and Cuban army. Mr. Farnum 1b one
of the foremost stars of the American
speaking stage and he will be remem
bered by local theatregoers as having
pkiyed here at the Grand last season
as the star In “The Llttlest Rebel.”
The next play to be presented at the
Grand by the Acme Picture Play Com
pany will be Mr. Arnold Daly In "Tho
Port of Missing Men,” which will be
given In three acts. The play has been
taken from Mr. Meredith Nicholson’s
book of the same name. The play was
produced by Mr. Daniel FTohman and
u aplendld company will be seen In
support of Mr. Daly.
The box office opens one day In ad
vance for reservation of seata for all
Acme plays, with no advance In prlcea
Annette Kcllerman in "Neptune's
Daughter.”
Rome Idea of the phenomenal suc
cess registered by that spectacular
feature film, “Neptune’e Daughter,"
may be gained from the report which
cornea from the Detroit opera house.
This attraction was hooked In De
troit for two weeks and at the end
of this engagement the demand was so
Insistent that the engagement was ex
tended for a week, and the outcome
of the whole matter wae that "Nep
tune’s Daughter” played eleven weeks
and, like Tennyson’s brook. It would
have run on foiever only the advanco
bookings could not he cancelled.
And Detroit baa a fine discrimina
tion In things dramatic, which la all
the more significant In the light of the
extravagant praise which that city ac
corded Miss Kellermann whom they
refer to as the "Perfect woman with
form divine” And right well does An
nette Kellermann merit the outspoken
approval of the Detroit rrltlce.
But when the production comet to
the Grand theatre next Tuesday for
three days Auguatana will have an op
portunity of seeing all this and Judg
ing for themselves how truly Annette
Kellermann deserves the glowing trib
utes that have been paid her as the
mermaid In this wonderful fantasy of
the deep. There will be dally mati
nees given.
World Seriea et Bijou,—Fleet Gems
Friday.
The first game of the world cham
pionship series between the Philadel
phia Athletics and the Boston Bravos

time at the Bijou. The Elcetraecore
Board will flash every play just na It
Is made, and in addition to tills every
play will be called, making the game
doubly Interesting to those fans who
could not make it to the "big cities.”
The gates will open at the Bijou
promptly at 1:30 and the game will
start at 2 p. m. All the dope, attend
ance and happenings at tho park will
be flashed over the wire and a verv
wild fan could almost make himself
believe that ho was at Hhlbe Park. It
Is very likely that "Dusty’’ Rhodes
will call play ball at the “Bijou” park.
The prices of admission will ho only
fifty cents for the stand (lower floor)
und twenty-five cents for the "sun
parlor" (balcony).
The interest Is more than fever high
here now and what will it he Friday?

P. A. jams joy
in jimmy pipes
YOU never smoked tobacco in your life that hits
your taste and punches in satisfaction like Prince
Albert. It’s the high spot any old way you hook
it up, via a jimmy pipe or rolled into a makin’s cigarette!
You never did roll a cigarette that can compare with P. A.
makin’s, because no other tobacco ever was like it. Just got the
“more-ish” earmarks in every puff, because the patented process
cuts out the bite.
Nnge Albert
% the national joy smoke
gs Men everywhere smoke P. A. in a pipe and rolled into
Mi cigarettes. Wise up that it is the goods—signed, sealed,
WjL delivered ! Or you can lay a bet it wouldn’t nit the fancy
of such a bunch of red-blooded men.
Sooner you lay a dime against a tidy red tin of P. A. sooner
you’ll net yours ! It’s simply a question of time when
WBp. you’ll sit on the P. A. band wagon and sound the cymbals!
(jet it off your mind and let some P. A. sunshine into
■EI your system!
Prince Albert is sold all along the line. Beat it around
the corner and get yours. Because it’s a bad noise to
teaHe your smokappetite so. Toppy red hags, 5c
(handy for rolling ’em); tidy red tins, 10c ; also hand*
some pound and nalf
