TWELVE CAUGHT GAMBLING IN
SANDY RIDGE; THREE WHITE
A Few uf the Gamesters i'm That Sec
ton Refuse 10 Draw the Color
Lire When II Comes Ia Playing
Poker or "Skiu."

Twelve men from Sandy Ridge
township, three white and nine color
ed. We're brought before Judge Lem
monc by Nj c. r. Winchester, con-
stable OF Sandy Ridge township, yes
terday morning charged with gamb-
ling. All except one plead guilty to
the charge and were sentenced TO pay
fines and costs aggregating $500. The
white men We're: Bert Parker, Henry
Parker and Bryce Parker. The ne
groes were: VIII Ivey. John Barrett.
Marsh Horn, Ned Stewart, Kenny
Morrison, Tom Redfern, Babe Horn,
Colin Stewart, and Tom Houston. All
except Ned Stewart were fined $40
each and the costs. As he was tried
on an old offense and made a clean
breast O. il he was let off with the
costs.
II seems that gambling with cards
has become q common thing in Sandy
Ridge. Prosecuting Attorney Stevens
while speaking in regard to the pun
ishment of the defendants said that it
was his opinion that the gambling
with cards had been made popular
among the negroes in that section of
the county by one Ed Alexander. an
expert gambler, who came from Neck
lenburg county. He located in that
part of the county and began TO ply
his trade. He was arrested and tried
in the Recorders court about eight
years age. Upon being given a fine
and costs in his case he removed a
big wallet from his pocket which he
had won in gambling and paid the
costs and fine and still had good
sized roll left.
Bryce Parker, one of the defend
ants in yesterday mornings ease, adj
mitted that he had lost $50 in enc
game with Marsh Stewart, colorcd.
The negro admitted winning the mon
ey, but said that he had been begged
into the game by Parker. He later
gave $50 of the money back to Par
ker.

 Devotion to duty and belief in the efficacy of prayer are the funda- mentals of "Uncle Jimmy's" simple creed.

To Raise Two Hundred
 and Fifty Million

7NHE united war work campaign
 J starts a week from next Mon day and will continue until the fol- lowing Monday.
 It has been decided to raise $250,- 100000 instead of only $170, 0,500, ,000, the amount originally proposed. Early estimates of requirements were based upon the probable size of the Ameri- can army in France according to plans made by the government many months ago, but the wonderful sue cess of the war department in trans porting our soldiers overseas caused the scope of our military activities to be greatly enlarged, which means that the work of the Young Mems Chris tian association and the other organi- Zations enlisted in camp and hospital welfare is to be vastly increased.
 That the entire amount of money sought will be contributed by the peo- pie and the corporations should go without saying. With a well organ ized campaign all that will be neces- sary to raise every dollar within the allotted time will be a whirlwind drive.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-31
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS "BITv

'eyes" of the army, Major Barnes point ed out that military observers are men of the first line of defense, subject to all dangers of the infantry, and many times they are obliged to fly from 60 to 70 feet above the enemy trenches to obtain pictures that are badly needed"
 No longer is it possible. he said, for >n observer to go out with an ordinary camera and note book and gather in- formation which will be available, for air photographs for the most part are now taken at height of 1000 to 1s,000 feet, when flying at the rate of 1o0 to 150 miles an hour"
 It is q fact of which every aviator IS aware that fighting planes are more alert and eager to stop observers than any other kind of airplane, the reason being obvious. and so, Major Barnes con tinued, although the observer is pro- tected to a limited extent by the big battle planes. he must also look out Tor himself"
 All of which suggests another sphere of romance and chivalry that is peculiar to this war, and it is gratifying and to the credit of the photographic pro- fession that it's ranks in civilian live have been so materially depleted by tho country's calls for camera men capable of passing muster and at the same tims who are willing to volunteer for that Sxtra hazardous wing of the service.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 0NHERE were originally seven of the Ringing brothers, it is said, and = unless memory is deceptive, seven profies, one tapping over another, each the size of a quarter-sheet poster, and all strangely alike, used to appear on the billboards with other lithographic en- cravings intended to awaken interest In the coming of the monster Ringing circus. At all events, 1t is admitted that there were five, and it was largely this quintet that made Baraboc, Wis.,, fa- nous What Bridgeport. Conn, was to Barnum & Bailey, Baraboo, Wis, was to the Ringlings These were the win ter towns of two of the greatest shows on earth; and the third, Forepaughs. in the course of time, or when the trust habit fastened itself upon the circus business, also wintered in Baraboo. The number of the Ringing brothers identi- fled with the show business has recently become smaller, but it cannot be said that interest in the changes which the fraternity wrought in circus manage ment will be found to have abated when the next season opens and the "big tops take to the road.
 Barnum & Bailey and Forepaugh & Sells, each of which firms had resulted from a combination of great circus in terests, were household names in the United States when the Ringlings start ed out That was nearly 8 years ago There were still numerous small shows in tn country, even the two leading ones being yet chary of calling themselves gigantic, and frequently the circuses came into competition in the same ter ritory. It was this fact that led the Ringlings to print in letters two feet high, the admonition, ''N ait for the Big Show" Sometimes the circus goers waited, and sometimes they did not, but whether they did or not. the Ringing lithographs usually filled the circus tent, the menagerie tent, and the sideshoWs, afternoon and evening.
 Ringing Brothers, being modern business establishment. quickly fell in with modern business ways. It took over as many as it could purchase, from time to time, of the smaller circuses that were dividing the territory, and.g when 1t prospered by monopolizing great areas of unoccupied territory, it began to pay at tention to the larger enterprises. Some thing like 15 years ago the Ringlings O.
