GThe Social Secretary

What would you do if you had to
work for living as a stenosrapher
and were so good looking that every
man just succumbed to your charms
and proposed to you right on the
spot? Rather annoying. eh? Well,
this is exactly the predicament OF the
heroine of this original story. In
order to lrsue quietly the gentle arts
of her chosen calling, she does some-1
thing very few girls would ever think
of doing-she hides her beauty behind
trimmed glasses and clothes of the
vintage of 'S2. But light cannot be
hid behind a bushel for long. She Is
discovered-and then-but wait until
you see the picture.
Norma Talmadge, one Of the most
popular girls of the screen, is so well
known to Triangle fans that it would
be impeaching their memory if her
many triumphs were enumerated here.
1t is sufficient to say that Miss Tai
madge, in this production in the role
OF stenographer, acquits herself
with characteristic charm and is as
adorable as ever At the Opera housMl

LIQUOR ADS BARRED
BY DURANT BILL

The exclusion Of liquor advertise
ments from South Carolina IN maga-
zines. newspapers, or on billboards is
provided in a bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Charlton DuRant
of Clarendon The bill is similar IN
its wording to statutes which have
heen enacted in Alabama and Virgin
ia, and is considered vital part OF
the legislative program of the pro-
hibitioniStS.
Under the terms of the DuRant bill
no South Carolina newspaper of mag
azine is permitted to publish the ad-
vertisements of liquor houses. Papers
or magazines published outside the
State are allowed to print the adVer-
tisements in copies mailed out to SUD-
scribers but not in those to be sold on
news stands or elsewhere. No South
Carolina billboard may contain the in
viting display of brewers or distlllers'
Senator DuRant's bill is intended to
take advantage of a measure now
pending in congress which provides
for the exclusion Of liquor circulars
from the mails in those States where
State action has been taken.
The chief provisions Of the DuRant
bill:
Proposed Bill.
That it is hereby made unlawful
(1) to advertise upon any street car,
railroad car or other vehicle of trans
portation, or at any public place or
resort, or upon any sign or billboard
or by circulars, posters, price lists,
newspapers, periodicals or otherwise
within this State, alcoholic liquors
and beverages, or any Of them, or to
advertise the manufacture, sale, keep
ing for sale or furnishing of any OF
them, or the person from whom or the
firm or corporation from which, or the
place where, or the price at which, or
the method by which the same or any
of them may be obtained; (2) to cir
culate or publish any newspaper, Pc
riodical or other written or printed
matter in which any advertisement in
this section specified shall appear, or
to permit any sign, or billboard, con-
tanning such advertisement to remain
upon ones premises; or to circulate
any price lists, order blanks or other
matter for the purpose of inducing
or securing orders for such alcoholic
liquors, nor any of them, no matter
where located. Any sheriff, consta,
Bile or police ofiieer is authorized te
remove any such advertisement from

place when it comes to his notice, an6

The iron-clad prohibition measure
introduced in the house by Mr.. Nv.
R. Richey, Jr., Of Laurens, tonlght
received favorable report from the
committee on police regulation.
Mr.. John w. Crews, of Richland,
introduced in the house tonight
bill which would require a permit
from the probate judge of county
as a prerequisite for the delivery OF
liquor under the present law. In
order to obtain the permit, the appll-
cant must make affidavit that he or
she is 81 or more years OF age, and
has not received more than the law
full amount during the current month.
The delivery and the reception OF
liquor are both included in the bill.
The measure would make it the duty
of those delivering liquor to file a
statement with the probate judge On
the first of each month.
In the house tonight Mr.. w. R.
Richey, Jr., of Laurens, tried to get
up the bill to olish the warehouse
system, so as to dispose of the whole
matter, in view of the deadlock upon
the election of warehouse commits
sioner.
Mr.. Richey is a friend of the, sys-
tenn and of Senator McLaurin, but
wanted some decision in the matter.

New Postoffice

Postofice Inspector, O. M. Hood
of Tucumcari was in town last
week and posted anotice for bids
for a ten year lease of a business
room for the Roy Postofice
which has outgrown its present
quarters.
The business of the Roy Office
has more than trebled in the past
three years and it has advanced
from 4th class to Third and has
had business at times which, if
kept up for year would putt IN
the second class. There will pro-
baby be two bids for the lease,
one will probably be the north
room of the Floersheim Co. ! ew
building which is seemingly built
TO meet all the requirements of a
Postoffice room. The Department
will put in a complete modern
set Of fixtures in the new Office
and by July you will be able to
point with pride to the the Post
Office as one of the finest things
in town and consult Postmaster
johnson in his private Office.

at Ell Paso, of Prof. Russell he
states that he is back working
for the E-P & S-W. again and
that his children are in school

This is a boost for the Roy School
as the FL Paso standard is SO
high that many children from

back a grade on starting there
and the efficiency of the Roy
Schools is again exemplified.
