NEGRO BEATS H. c. l., BUT
FINALLY LANDS IN JAIL

Henry Williams, a negro tenant
on the farm of Wallace Carter, on
the Andersonville road, found way
to beat the high cost of living-for
a time-when he slipped one of the
two keys to Mr.. Carriers country
store off the key ring unknown to
anyone else some time ago By the
use of the key Henry replenished the
family larder from the stock in the
store at will. Mr.. Carter finally sus-
pected him and, calling Sheriff Har-
vey to the scene today, located some
of the stolen goods in Henry's home.
Among the goods taken in small lots
as he needed them were flour, lard,
syrup, kerosene, smoking and chew
ing tobacco and over S. in money.
A pistol was also taken by him.
Henry was brought to Jail by the
sheriff.

Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all of the wars since

Their bite is often as deadly as a

By every method known to man
kind both national and local health
services are trying to exterminate
them. but this will never be- We must
protect ourselves against this pest
By proper screening and by a daily
spray of TORMENT the house can be

no dangerous insect can live. 1t is

He Makes More Money
Than Any Other Man
on the Stage and Is Not
Spoiled by His Enormous
Success.

the first time that we saw his work.
II was at the Winter Garden In New
York. The show was called Dancing
Around" As we entered the foyer
of that immense theater, we heard a
distinguished looking man say, ia
rather be AL Jolson than president
This struck us as being quite broad
assertion but we could readily unoer-
stand 1t when Jolson appeared. HIS
ovation was second to none we nave
even seen, and as he went about ms
work in q business-like fashion. put
ting every ounce of his contagious
Personality and virile energy into
making those out front laugh, II was
easy to see why he is so popular.
There Were Lean Days
Last night, he told us just a bit
of the days that went before his sue
cess. He told us of how he had sold
papers in the streets of Washington,
that he knew where the softest door
steps were as he had slept on them
many a night waiting for morning
papers to come off the press. He told
US of the days of the old BDou
Theater down near the market, OF
how he used to sell water in the
gallery for a cent a glass. 1t was
there the ambition to make good on
the stage was born. 1t is quite a
leap from carrying water in the
gallery of the old Bijou to holding
a center position in the glass run
way at the Winter Garden but Jolson
has made the jump and has landed
on pretty soft turf.
His income tax has placed him
among the favored few whom moving
picture photographers snap in the act
Of paying their tax
He Is Unspoiled.
Through il all, he is unspoiled. He
is just a normal human being who
loves his work and who is always
looking for some means of improve
ment. and he regards his public as
an obligation. 1t is needless to tell
of Jolson's ability. That is TOO evi-
dent. No entertainer can put over
a song TO better advantage. The song
writer who persuades Jolson TO sing
one OF his songs can sit back and
depend upon unusual royalties. His
stories and Jokes are always sure of
constant repetition. Very often in the
repeating, they lose a good bit OF
their effectiveness for few men can
tell a story as Jolson does 1t.
1t would seem that Jolson has about
reached the heights but he denies this.
He insists that there is go much
room for improvement in his work
that there are many steps that he
can yet take upward.
He told US a bit Of news last night,
that next year may be his last year
on the regular stage. So great is
his personal popularity that he has
been made a splendid offer to so into
concert work. Those making the offer
believe that a concert tour by Jolson
would be a gold mine. Personally, We
would like to see it. Nothing could
please us more than about an hour
and a half of Al Jolson and his own
popular material

A Life Net Saves
Jim Corbett's Neck

A lift net, insisted upon by Direc-
tor James Horne, probably saved the
life of James J. Corbett in filming
the fourth episode Of the ssrial, The
Midnight Man"
The episode calls for a leap from a
high building to a rope hanging from
a fiag-pole. The flag-pole breaks ana
the hero hurtles through space, an
awning breaking the fall and saving
the hero from death on the pavement
below.
When Director Horne suggested a
double for Corbett, the former heavy
weight champion scoffed at the idea,
insisting he was better able to per-
form the stunt than anyone who could
be hired. Horne didn't insist on the
double but ordered a life-net spread
under the awning. Corbett also pro-
tested at this but Horne was obdurate
and the life-net was spread.
There was no rehearsal, as the stunt
was too hazardous. Corbett made a
perfect leap. caught the rope, the
weakened pole gave way. the hero
