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.” LORD COWDRAY’S SON KILLED.

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.
