BIG CROWDS SEEING
gJGTBRE AT VICTORIA
“When Knighthood Was in
Flower” Said to Be One of
Best Movies Shown
If any doubt lingers in anyone’s mind
M to the .ability of our screen pro
ducers to matte a picture twelve reel*
in length that can be seen through
■without growing tiresome, the Cosmo
politan production. "When Knighthood
Was in Flower,” which opened yester
day at the Victoria, will dissipate it
forever. This is the most worthy ex
ample of the heights to which the art
of the client stage has ascended that
has yet been projected upon a local
screen; nothing that has gone before
can be compared with it in except pos
sibly one angle. It excels all past
screen triumphs in gorgeousness,
greatness of scenes, and expensivenees
of settings, also in the mammoth cast
which interprets its roles. “The Birth
' of a Nation,” of course, will have to
come in for comparison with this latest
screen triumph, however.
Undertaking the adaptation of Chas.
Major’s famous novel, founded upon
historical incidents, allied with the
reign of King Henry Eighth was noth
ing short of a Herculean task at the
outset. It stretched the imagination
to visualize the possibility of repro
ducing the necessary background pe
, riod of palatial requisites. Neverthe
less, the efforts of all concerned have
combined in delivering a motion pic
ture accurately adherent to the thrill
ing tale of romance and adventure,
overwhelming in suspense, an innova
tion that will win new followers of the
screen and gratify the ambitions of the
most altruistic patrons of the motion
picture theatre. It should play to car;
pacity audiences during its three day
run at the Victoria.
Revaluation Will
Begin in' Lenoir
Within Near Future
KINSTON, April 26.—Revaluation of
Lenoir county property will be offi
cially started Tuesday. Assessors will
eive nine weeks to the work, and their
•survey will be thorough. Twelve town
ships and three town* are to be can
vassed. Officials expect a “nominal
reduction in values of some propertyl
^.ny material cut of the total will cause
an increased tax rate, according to au
thorities who are opposed to the re
assessment. Experienced assessors will
conduct the work. Statements of thou
sands of property owners will have to
be considered in connection with the
canvass.
Warsaw Will Have a
New School Building
WARSAW. April 26.—Warsaw is to
1 have a new high school building to cost
approximately sixty-five thousand dol
lars. The entire second floor will con
sist of the auditorium, while'the lower
floor will contain class-rooms, sconce
.rooms and a comfortable library. The
| conditions at the present schol build
ing have been crowded for some time,
and with the addition of the new build
i ing, facilities will be greatly improved.
The present auditorium, while of good
size is inadequate for the audiences,
which at Commencement and other
times it attempts to seat, and this will
1 be utilized as class rooms for the gram
mar grades. Mr. Blair of the state de
partment of education was present at a
meeting last week, and was accom
1 panied by an architect, who submitted
plans for the new building.
The silver loving cup which was won
by the Warsaw school at the recent
field day exercises at Calypso, was pre
sented Thursday of last week. The cup
is given each year to the school win
ning out in athletics, and this year
Warsaw won the championship for
Duplin county. Other prize® won by the
Warsaw school was one in spelling by
Miss Lewellyn Best, and in expression
by Miss Grace Jordan. Both of these
belonged to the grammar school.

for the division, , sent in the weevil,
which was found by a Mr. Primrose of
Dunn, in the telegraph office. Ma.bee
stated the weevil was attempting to ■
obtain advance information on, the cot
ton crop to carry back to the waiting
hordes of other .weevils, but that now
they will have to get their Information
from other sources.
Dr. R. W. Leiby, near Aberdeen,
where he is conducting several ex
periments, also sent in a weevil. He
was collecting peach insects on a sheet
and by shaking the tree shook loose
a "genuine boll weevil.”

exodus from hibernation quarters is
expected.

rightly, but that her husband had tried
to raise them in a righteous planner.
Mrs. Watson also testified that her
husband told her on the morning after
the alleged whipping that "they got
what they deserved. She did not re
cite much about the time of the alleged
assaults, claiming that she broke down
during the ordeal and did not remember
much about that phase of the aiTalr
Admitting that her husband objected
to her going with Mr5s. Purvis, Mrs.
Watson declared that her husbam. had
talked about her much and that he had
been "running me down.”
Mrs. Watson asserted that if her
brother, John Hedgepeth, was a mem
ber of the masked band, she failed to
recognize him, and that neither did she
recognize Jule Brogden in the party.
She claimed, however, that she did rec
ognize Mike Lawson, and explained the
manner in which she did this, stating
that she recognized Lawson because he
had a policeman's club in-his hand and
anso by his physique and the tone of
his voice.
Mrs. Watson testified that she told
her brother on the Sunday following
the affair that she did not recognize
any of the band, except one, whom she
charged was Mike Laawson.
While there is high Interest in the
proceedings, no ill feeling has yet been
engendered from either side, and no
disorder is anticipated. Croups of men
discussing, the alleged whippings have
different opinions, some for one side
and others for the other.

Salvaging Work is
Underway in Lenoir
KINSTON, April 26.—Salvaging of
Odds and ends of cotton from the co
operative growers’ warehouse in North
Kinston destroyed by fire Monday, has
been started. Pickers are expected to
redeem thousands of pounds, but the
total will be only a trifle compared
with the more than 1-660 bales that
were stored in the building.1 Many
bales had been removed from the struc
ture a short time before the fire. Esti
mates of the loss based upon current
prices place the damage at a smaller
figure than the original value of the
totaal. Much of the cotton is said to
have been stored when prices were ma
terially higher than current quotations.
Real estate and cotton men today were
unwilling to place the loss at a lower
figure than $300,000.
The Carolina Telephone & Telegraph
Co., the municipal water and light and
street departments are being put to
considerable expense because of de
stroyed wires and damaged pavements.
The firemen used more than 700,000
gallons of water in controlling the fire.
While streams have been played upon
the blazing ruins continuously since it
was checked.

What is a mile to gasoline?
r .
IN frontier days a mile was the radius of a family’s activi
ties. Then came roads and carriages, pushing the horizon
back a few miles. The next generation discovered the possi
bilities of the internal combustion motor carried on pneu
matic tires. The Chinese wall that shut out so many
alluring vistas of the land beyond the hill disappeared. ,
Man had conquered distance. .r
This year 180,000,000 barrels of gasoline will drive trucks,
tractors, launches, planes and motor cars. Every drop that
is not converted into power is waste—a loss that cannot be
recovered. This company, the pioneer in perfecting petro
leum products, offers.“Standard” Motor Gasoline as the
