Drama, and the Picture Plays

Bad Man" is an eccentric outlaw who
calls himself "Passin' Through" All
that is known of him is that he is a
most cheerful chap, always smiling,
lenses against law and order. One of
them is the holding-up of the Pacific
Express for the sole purpose of robbing
the conductor of his ticket punch.
But there are other crimes, all. how
ever, typical of the kind OF exploits
for which he is notorious. He robs
society to give to society's outcasts-
that is all.
Riding into the Lost Treasure"
mine holdings which are used as the
rendezvous of a band as lawless as
himself. where only nicknames are
used and where every man is wanted
by the law, "Passin Through" en-
counters the prettiest girl he has ever
seen; and they fall promptly in love
She is the daughter of THE Weasel
and beloved of THE Wolf" who heads
the queer community. "Passin
Through" finds her rarely sweet, but
! reflecting that he knows next to moth
! ing of his parentage, he rides away
without asking her to become his wife
And love is just the touch necessar!
! to add an appeal to the series of thrill

COLUMBIA

The Columbia makes a slight change
of policy with this weeks bill of
movies and forthwith announces that
there will be four changes instead of
three in the weeks bill. Change days
will be on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Friday and there will be sew
eral additions to the already splendid
list of movie specials at the Columbia.
Perhaps no feature added as side
dish at the house of many comforts
will attract as much attention as the
coming, Monday, of Sallie and Napo-
leon. These two actors, if such they
may be called are so well known from
their long and successful careers on
the Orpheum circuit that they need

happy and proud as Uncle j. Yves
Bryant, but this is the feat this pop

friends that he had been married in
Savannah on March 9 to Miss Robin
son, of Plant City. After spending
short time there, the happy couple
returned to Lakeland and have been
here for the past ten days. They
are at the home of the groom in the
northern part of the city. AS the
lower floor is rented to another fam
lily, the neighbors did not suspect
anything, thinking the newcomer
was visiting the resident family. 1t
was therefore possible for Mr.. Bry-
ant to keep all of his friends in the
dark, the secret being let out when
a gentleman from Plant City came
up yesterday and told the news.
Since that time the happy groom has
been showered with the sincerest
congratulations of his host Of
friends, all of whom wish for them
a large measure of happiness and

| To the Sheriffs of Florida:
AS Section 16 of Chapter 647O of
the Laws of Florida being the Cor

quires the sheri1fs of the State to
exercise strict vigilance in the de-

| beg to bring to your attention GER
tains important provisions of this
law as follows:
Section 5 makes it unlawful for
a candidate to attempt to further his
candidacy by promising to give or
appoint persons to public or pri-
yate position or to assist him in pro-
curing any office or position.
Section makes it unlawful for a
candidate or other person directly or
indirectly or by any preteXt what
ever to hire or employ political work
ers or persons to canvass, electioneer
or to make public addresses for or
against candidate or to pay their
travelling or other expenses for such
purposes. 1t is unlawful for a person
to accept such employment.
1t is also unlawful for candidate
or any other person to hire or en-
| ploy a person to go around over the
State to circulate campaign litera-
ture. A reference to Section 6 will
show that it prohibits all forms of
graft.
Section Q requires that all cam

Our money is worth ten per cent
We can borrow at five. Men need
the work. Merchants and others need
the money which will be spent as
soon as the work of construction be-
gins. The taxes we are paying now
will take care of the bonds and leave
surplus for work on roads not in
cluded in the bond issue. If you are
in doubt, consult your commissioner,
but register NOW. Pay your poll

Passing OF Bond Issue
For Good Roads Depends
On Voters Qualifying

The educational campaign which
is being conducted by the Polk Coun-
ty Good Roads Association is bearing
good fruit, as is manifested by the
increased interest taken in the dit
ferent sections of the county in the
matter of registration and the lin
ing up of some who have hitherto not
been favorable to the proposed bond
issue for good roads in Polk county.
This attitude has not been one of de-
llberate opposition so much as of a
lack of understanding and intelli-
gent information on the subject. So
many foolish statements have been
made by some who have not looked
carefully into this important matter,
and doubts have been credited in the
minds of others that the bond issue
would at this time be pushed so far
as to BRING it before the people for
a vote. that it is not strange there
has hitherto been so little activity,
except to a limited extent.
The condition of the roads in this
county is getting to be serious men,
ace to the growing development
which ought to be taking place in
one of the otherwise best counties
in the State and now that definite
plans are being made to build a
countrywide system of hard-surfaced
roads which will connect every town
in the county with every other town
in the county, thinking men, pro
gressive men, those who are not will
ing to plug along under conditions
with which their forefathers had to
be satisfied, are taking the lead in
this important issue upon the sue
cess of which depends the immedi-
ate future of this county.
