CONDUCT OF SCHOOL HEAD CAUSES STIR Wilson, N. C., Dec. 6.—As a rebuke to the public school authorities who permitted Principal J. D. Reid to remain as head of the school system, citizens of this place gathered in a meeting on June 5, 17th, and raised a $3,000 in subscriptions which will make up the fund to support the new proposed school. The Rev. Spurgeon Davis, pastor of the First Baptist church, is the superintendent and the Rev. Joseph O'Neill, the Episcopal church, is the principal of the school, and the tax payers who support the public school refused to send their children to any school that Prof. Reid was the accredited head. The revolt against the public school was when the superintendent of school Chas. L. Coon (white) liberally slapped the face of Miss Mary Euell, a teacher, who had resented an insult hurled at her by Coon. Principal Reid was present at the time the insult occurred. He is reported to have been arrested by Miss Euell. The people in this city pay an annual tax on real estate and personal property to the amount of $350,184, and the parents of the children attending the school feel as if they are not wards of the white public school from society. The new school has the moral and financial support of the entire city. Sailed for France Sunday in interest of N. A. A. C. P.

How It Hurts Rheumatic Sufferers Bone Pains, Blood Poison Try Prescription C-2223 "MY, HOW GOOD IT IS" Stop Paying Out Large Sums for Specialists or Going on Expensive Trips Our Home Druggists Can Now Supply You With Prescription C-2223 at Slight Cost No discovery of recent years in the field of medicine has caused such a stir and such a large sale by prescription druggists as the prescription of a well known specialist by which rheumatism can be successfully treated and cured at home by his Prescription C-2223. Most druggists keep it all prepared, or a physician's large bottle sent direct for $1.50 by C-2223 Laboratories, Dept. A, Memphis, Tenn. It has been proved that liniments and external so-called remedies hardly ever relieve rheumatism. This most sufferers know by sad experience. Prescription C-2223 is liquid, taken internally 2 or 3 times a day, and quickly drives out of your system all the poisons, uric acid and impurities that cause rheumatism. Soon the aches and pains die away, your blood is made pure and rich so that a flow of red, strong blood builds up your broken down system making you/well and strong.

The prize for the looking room was awarded to Mrs. Beulah Smith, while the rooms occupied by Misses Josephine Wooten, Doris Horton, Mattle Wheeler and Mabel Harris deserve special mention. Attractive signs in rhyme stating the needs of the home were arranged in conspicuous places and these silent pleas were not in vain, as was shown by spilled donations of comforts. A story for the science kitchen and rugs are to be forthcoming. In the afternoon several beautiful selections were sung by Emma Coram and daughter, Mrs. Hazel Blake, accompanied by Mrs. Mable Clark Biggs. Music for the evening was furnished by Mr. Montgomery's St. John's Sunday school orchestra. Miss Jane E.

Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country. South America, the West indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

Complains About Coal Charge Numerous complaints are being received by the various civic organizations in Harlem concerning the already high charge that the cellar dealers are imposing for a hundredweight of coal. According to John D. Saunier, an official of the Big Brother movement of coal from those dealers who cater only to the poor, is already 75 cents a bag, and some instances, it is $1.

The Evidence Piles Up In an interesting letter to Sandy Thompson, reproduced here, the evidence of dissatisfaction on the part of our boys in France with their treatment continues to pile up. The letter follows: "Well, old man, I am well and in the best of health. We are behind in the trenches, stiring over the top. Remember to keep the wont you?—also Joe. We have just come out of the rest camp and are in action again. All of the Colored officers are out of the 93d division except the 5th Illinois; some sent back to the states and some sent to labor battalions. I have a great deal to tell you when I see you again. We are having very hard time to stay here. We be doing our best, something that was with the 15th there, so you see what a hard time we are having here. I shall have a lot to tell the Defender when I get back to the U. S. A. We are doing our best. We are delivering the goods here, but get no credit at all. We are going to continue doing our best as long as we are here, and we are going to let the officers know what we are doing here. The officers from the Massachusetts, Connecticut, District of Columbia and Ohio battalions are all out and white officers are in their places. Write soon all the news of U. S. A., won't you? No one here to look out for our interests at all. Write soon and send me the Defender. Sincerely, A. M. Lee." Register at U. S. Employment Office Register at O. S. Employment Office. In an interview with Jesse O. Thomas, examiner in charge at the United States embassy in Seventh avenue, he said: "During the past week a number of women have been thrown out of employment because of the closing down of war work industries in this city and state. It is expected that still others will be closing as a result of the cessation of hostilities, because the government will not find it necessary to renew the contract or the changing of these industries from war to peace industries threats to put huge numbers of men and women out of employment. It is the purpose of the United States employment service to help persons thus affected to find other jobs and positions. There has been established in the City of New York the United States employment service, a clearance division known as the clearing house. This branch of the service is used by the employer and employee alike in finding each other. The clearing house is in constant touch with all of the district officers that it may know at all times of the available supply of labor throughout the city as well as the corresponding demand for labor. By registering with the office in your district. By registering you give your local office your name and address and the detail information as to the kind of service you are best qualified to perform. A great many people, especially our people in this city, are working at jobs and positions not by any means in keeping with their training, but they have not been able to find themselves, as it were. This condition can gradually be corrected by the parties registering at this office. During the month of October 898 men and women registered at this office." Severa Connection Mrs. Sara L.

It is seldom that a production of this engraving is attempted by a stock company, and the success of this aggregation with the Antoine masterpiece is another evidence of the abilities of MARY MAY this fine group of players. The scenic artist, as well, has done remarkable things in the matter of background, some of his work coming in for well-applause, and Mr. Forrest, the producer, who has turned to make this second offering of the present company an unqualified success. "Arizona" is a purely American play which has always struck public fancy; the plot is not only timely, but is a delight. The scenes are all in Arizona, where the author has been drilled to show the world what kind of stuff they are made of, and the author, who wrote some of the biggest hits" in a generation, has been notably known for the treatment of story character and detail. He be complete, built upon the basis of this one, without the detal which carries with it the weakness of woman and the demoralizing effects of their tragedy. The tragedy of the piece is brought new way of a distinct case of the sort coupled with the narrow escape from a similar pitfall by the leading character itself which makes an interesting story, and from the first to the final central interest is kept at a high pitch. Walker Thompson as Lieutenant Denton is a mainly figure, well cast in the part, and shares honors with Theresa Bluford, the young wife of an army post has become irksome and the army post has become irksome and led by the notorious Libertine, Captain Hodgman, to participate in an elopement with him. Miss Bluford does extremely well in the part and at the end of the play has a real chance to get her husband to well merited uplause at the finish of her confession. Luke Scott as the villainous captain and Barrington Carter as the colonel are fine, and their acting conviving and well drawn-out laugh has a part that seems to have been written for her—the mother of the wife, as well as of the sweetheart of the lieutenant —and as usual, she gets all that is in it out of the part. Pretty Everybody Ellis as Bonita, the younger of the three, is dameure and maidenly and b her sweet wife who will come a real Avenue favorite. The old master, Tom Brown, is great as Henry Canby the father, and owner of the branch; he is a lovable character and the part leads him from the frivolous type that allows the 'apron strings to be played' to the 'women who will have his way or learn the reason. Irene Elmore makes her debut in this offering as the French-Canadian girl who has fallen a victim to the wiles of the captain; she made a the impression on Monday night, huddling in the room, the sympathy due in her troubles. Her father, a sorgeant in the cavalry, is capably handled by J. L. Criner, as is the part of Hallowock by John Christy. Jim Burris as the post surgeon is efficient and convincing in his work, and he portrays the vacuario, Tony; he is brutal in his love making and more than forceful in his manner, but made a great hit by bumping off the obnoxious captain at the right moment, and wound up his good work by exonorizing his wife, caused Denton, making a clean get-away to the satisfaction of all present. To miss this production would mean allowing to see one of the very few up-to-date plays with a story of every day life to slip by. The Grand The Smarter Set Co., with Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt featured, is on its second big week here, and there is no abatement in the fine attendance which started right off the reel on the opening night. It is called "the greatest of the season" and there are so many fine features that it would take a world of space to enumerate them. Special attention must be called to the splendid scenery; it is seldom that any attraction carries the vast amount of it which this aggregation carries, there being tiny, tiny, tiny met settings, covering everything from illusion to several nautical and Oriental scenes that are real works of art. The costuming is far above the SHOWS the secret of Gen.

The ladies are all pretty and have the pep that makes the musical comedy type of show the popular institution that it is; the principals are right up to the minute and the two stars are too well known to need much talking of. The fact that the book was written by Messrs. Whitney and Tutt, as well as the lyrics of all songs used, makes the production one of added interest. Who makes are by lucky Roberts, who also makes a director show. The chorus itself is one of the highest type and shows every evidence of the closest attention. There are novelty song numbers and dances, as well as audiences with enthusiasm, and there is no place where the flag is drawn or an "applause please" is resorted to. Briefly, the show is making it entirely upon merit alone, and is bound to be a success. There is no reference to the rough stuff. There is no reason to believe that the Grund will not play to capacity during the entire engagement of three weeks; the show is worthy from more than one viewpoint, and is one that should not be missed. The Monogram Three fine teams and a good single are the offering here this week, and every one of them is "hitting" right from the jump. Montgomery & McClain are playing a return engagement, after a trip to the coast and back. In it, time, and they are presenting "The Poet and theull comedy of the cleanest type, songs right up to the minute, and petite Florence McClain was never seen to better advantage. Peat & Stevens are also here with their fine novelty, "Fun in a Chinese Laundry," a title which appropriate, as the comedy is of a sort different from the usual in unproar. The singing of Gus Stevens is a feature of the net. Porter & Porter are back after a short absence, and have several new song numbers and other things of more than passing interest. Willie Two Sweet, who was hooked on the fine time ago, which he gained on the finer popularity which completes a real bill which is drawing a splendid attendance. "PLAYTHINGS" SENSATIONAL DRAMA AT AVENUE THEATER NEXT WEEK Questions that are bound to come in for a vast amount of discussion will be brought up in the drama which will be played by the performers the fayette Players at the Avenue theater next week. "Playthings" is its name and it is a play that has caused the greatest sensation of years in the theatrical world. With a daring that marks him as one of the most important figures among playwrights today, Sidney Toler, the author, has taken problems of the play, hidden though they are usually allowed, and shriek for discussion, and through the medium of a play that is vital, thrilling and powerful, he has set them forth before the world. Mr. Toler puts the blame for the most of the misery of the world squarely up to those to whom he claims it belongs. That is, he voices what would seem to be a self-evident fact when he says that the world that denounces the worst of man not go far enough into the questions and that it is her parents who allowed her to grow up in ignorance of the stern facts of life who should be arraigned before the bar of judgment. The author does not seek to make out his case by argument. His drama is no popped by puppets, but by those women we see about us in the struggle of man against his out their destinies amide the conditions and which are familiar to us all in a way. Mr. Toler holds that the only way to remedy those destructive elements which we know exist, but which too many of us are too falsely modest to discuss, is to hold them up to the man who has been told them in all their hideousness. And this he has done with a daring that is as rare as his play is wonderful. It is safe to say that the Lafayette Players will do full justice to each and every part and will make this one of the hits of the season. MULE & CO. BIOT Philadelphia, Dec. 6. — Mulo Bradford and Jeanette captured the New Standard theater here and Manager John Gibson held the act over for the first time. — "Mary, Don't Treat Me So Mean," Mule's new songs, were a riot. SHING URES2 ONE DAY ONLY Sun. Dec. 8th MME. PETROVA IN "THE PANTHER WOMAN" ASTRONG emotional drama of superb direction—teeming with suspense and thrills. The story of a girl caught up by the swift rush of life and made the innocent victim of circumstances born of malice. The greatest and newest of the Special Petrova productions THE CHICAGO DEFENDER A city held in the grip of organized bands of ruffians, thieves, burglar, rough men of every type and hired assassins; a city living under a pail of fear—fear for life, honor for home, for business, for children, for inmates; a city in which the police were poorless, the courts.bought and paid for; lawyers ready it sell out to the opposite side for a price; a city patrolled, one might say, by men ready with knife or pistol to commit any depration of small feet; a city where conviction of crime is possible only against the man with no money or not enough—this pictures San Francisco in the days of fatty-nine. It is this navy period that is grippingly narrad in the smashing picture now appearing at the States theater for the last five days of the week—Wednesday to Sunday, inclusive—untitled. The Viscountess. There were quarters in the city known as "Sydney Town," "Five Points," and "Seven Dials," known resorts of deserts. In either of these places one could engage a thug house, attack a woman to fire a house, attack a woman to commit or commit any other dastardly deed, with the assurance that no questions would ever be asked. No man's life was safe at any time. No woman could appear upon the street with the presence of a thug who would return safely to her home or arrive at destination without harm. And this all came about from two causes—the presence in that city of the offcoursing of the earth and the ease with which the futures were found in the gold-bearing earth was the gatherer, ground for them all. "The Vigilantes" paints a lurid picture of these deplorable conditions, showing to what a horrible extent the city of the Golden Gate had gone mad. But, there were great consciences there, and as anyone the Coleman organization of the Vigilance Committee in 1851, the rehabilitation began. The photoplay carries one through the sordid days of helplessness, with its murders, its hangings, its revenges and illicit actions, emergent as the vigilant success. The hero, Amos Fenton, imprints the onlooker with his great moral power. His final victory over criminal San Francisco and the winning of Mary Hampton, the heroine, completes a story of sensational action and tender compassion. The position of "most preferred" among all the latest productions of big studios. The cast is exceptionally well selected and the photography far surpasses any that has been shown on the local screens for many months. It is a first step in the aspiration very timely for the critical period through which the entire nation is passing. CARL SINGS "LOAN BLUES" Black Carl, the celebrated slight-of-hand artist, scholar and gentleman, has introduced a new song called "The Witch," which goes something like this: MYSTERIOUS STUFF Following repeated rumors comes the official news from the main office of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., Inc., of Los Angeles, Cal., of the resignation of their noted star, Noble M. Johnson, as president and chairman of the board or directors, and the election of their Treasurer, Thomas J. Smith, a prominent druggist in the western town of Oklahoma. This following a cent hurried trip of their business managers on a secret mission to the various eastern cities, during which he interviewed many prominent people of both races, lends weight to the repeated rumors that this pioneer Race film corporation is on the verge of making a startling announcement of a gigantic re-organization with eastern headquarters, said that Mr. Johnson, though no longer president, retains his business interests with the corporation, which he organized. THE DOUGLASS Macon, Ga. Dec. 4.—The past week's bill had Dorsey & Thomas, who, by their splendid work have a right to the name of "bill wreckers."

Smith, manager, $22.00; Katie Davis, stenographer, $25.00; L. B. Mound, pianist, $18.00 and the team of McIntosh & McIntosh, $5.00. S: LANGFORD CALLS Sam Langford, the old master of the mittens, who has been fighting lately in his old-time form and who arrived in Chicago late last week, was a caller on the Desk on Monday morning.

THE GREATEST WESTERN DRAMA OF STAGE OR SCREEN VIGILANTES Cost More Than Any Ten Westerns Ever Produced 14,000 PEOPLE IN THE CAST 14,000 INCLUDING INDIANS, COWBOYS, TWO-GUN MEN, NIGHT RIDERS AND OUTLAWS 12,000 MURDERS COMMITTED IN THE GOLDEN GATE, WHERE RUFFIANS RULED AMID AN ORGY OF GOLD MADE WICKEDNESS, DEBAUGHERY AND CRIME LET NOTHING STOP YOU FROM SEEING THE GREATEST PHOTODRAMA OF THE YEAR THRILLING ACTION, GRIPPING IN ITS MIGHTY SWIRL! "THE VIGILANTES" FAROUS PHOTO-DRAMA TO BE SHOWN AT OWL Oxtail' soup, $1; baked trout, $1.50; roast beef, $1; roast mutton, $1.25; corned beef and cabbage, $1.25; ham, $1; lamb and green peas, $1.25; fresh eggs, each, $1; sweet potatoes, each 50 cents; rum omelette, $2; cheese, 50 cents an order; prunes, 75 cents; baked beans, 18-karat hash, roast grizzly and jackass rabbit $1 and $1.50. These are a few of the bill of fare prices that prevailed at the Ward House and El Dorado Hotel at Hangtown in San Francisco during the days of '49 and later. Besides requiring nearly all the money a man or a family had on hand to make the trip to San Francisco, immediately after the discovery of gold, men and women soon learned upon their arrival that it would require them to spend those days practically every pound of merchandise was carried around Cape Horn in sailing vessels out of New York, Philadelphia and Boston. When the gold rush had resulted in general success and men with great satisfaction in selling the goods ing the city daily from the ravines and creeks northeast of the city, prices became no object to them. Let food cost what it would and rents be as high as they could be pushed, practically all of the object. These men, practically all of the object, for a few weeks before, spent it freely, lavishly and without restraint. It is this history of unregenerate San Francisco, of her struggle for decency, her frightful handicap of crime, gambling, bishoning, and debauchery, the final mischief of the whip and lash of the Vigilance Committee that is told in the remarkable picture, "The Vigilantes," which is being shown at the Owl theater on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. It is admirably produced, showing the era of the Spanish in California, whirring back to New England, where the inception of the romance is developed, following the straggling pioneers in their feavors quest of California, passion, love and depths among the gambling dens, and saloons in the city by the sea and finally, in one powerful, indescribable climax, the salvation of the city by the famous Vigilante Committee. This picture runs the gamut of emotions, portions of love's depths hate's obscurity, passion's insatiable greed, honor's desperate predicament, the horror of revenge and the ultimate achievement of virtue and justice. Don't miss it. OLGA PETROVA GREAT STAR HAS NEW ROLE IN "THE PANTHER WOMAN" The latest Petrova production, "The Panther Woman," fifth of the special features starring the celebrated Polish actress, coming to the Pickford theater on Sunday, contains a myriad of realistic thrills lacking in the type of dramatic vehicle that have characterized previous screen appearances of this emotional artiste. The story depicts the battle for life of a woman unjustly accused of murder. Tremendous court room scenes have been effectively introduced into the production, leading naturally to the spectacular climax of the play in the death house at Sing Sing. Particular effort has been put forth by Madum Petrova and Director Inez Ice to give the proper realistic touch to the death cell, introducing the death cell and "the little house with the green door." An exact reproduction of the condemned prisoner's tier was erected at the Petrova studios, together with a faithless man, the death chamber itself. So vividly the work has been worked out in these scenes of "The Panther Woman" that the spectators can well imagine they are see- ing the real thing. An exact duplication of the electric chair, together with the black cap and straps that are used give an additional touch of realism. Real prison attendants and death house guards—men who have watched and lead many condemned men beyond the little green door—were engaged to play the various roles in these scenes, and an expert electrician was pressed into service to ensure the installation of switches and other equipment used in the room itself. In the role of Patience Sparhawk, condemned to death by electrocution, Madam Petrova is given exceptional opportunity to display all the emotional abilities for which she is famous. Her acting during the scenes in the death chamber and in the electric chair are most vivid in their naturalness, and the exciting incidents in her life allow you breathless with expectation and suspense. Don't fail to see this great feature. LULU COATES & CO. Laini Coates and her Crackerjacks are the special attraction with the Wonder Show, playing the Columbia theater, Chicago, Ill., this week. Miss Coates was seen her last season as the same name; the entire list of principals having been changed, however, and is of a better calibre throughout.
