farmer LOSES
TOBACCO CASH
Two Strange Negroes Given Ride
Robbed Him Al the GreenviIIe
Pike Bridge.

A farmer named Allen reported
to the police Thursday afternoon
that he had been held up by two ne
groes on the Greenville road and
robbed of between $500 and $500.
he said he came in from the eastern
part Of the county that morning and
sold some tobacco and drew the
money to carry it home with him.
The negroes evidently knew he had
the money and followed him to his
wagon and helped him grease it and
then rode out Of town with him.
When they reached the bridge on
the Greenville road about two miles
out, one Of the negroes covered him
with a pistol and made him hold up
his hands and the other took his
money and set OF across the country.
Allen came back to town and report
ed his loss and bloodhounds were
telephoned for to trail the highway
men. he says the negroes were
strangers to him but he can identity
them.
Yesterday morning the blood
hounds were received and upon be-
ing taken to the scene took the trail |
and went to negro cabin in the vi
entity and from there went to the
L. & N. Railroad where the trail was |
lost.

The Palace is presenting a fine bill tonight and Saturday with three big feature attractions. The big photo- play feature is the popular Para mount star John Barrymore in his latest drama The Test of Honor" MT. Barrymore plays the role of one who loves married woman. The wife had used all the wiles of her beautiful. dazzling. personality to make this man love her and then, when this man struck down her hus- band and he died because of her neglect; she denied the man she pro- fessed to love and saw him sent to prison for seven long years found guilty of the crime of which he was guiltless Did he forgive? Could he forgive? You never know just what is going to happen until the last foot of the picture has passed. MT. Barry more's wonderful acting will thrill you as will the fine acting of Con- stance Binney as the girl. The other photoplays on the bill include Charlie Chaplin in his funniest comedy, "A Dogs Life,' also a new episode of Eddie Polo in The Cyclone Smith Stories" The vaudeville bill is fea- tured with the Seven Dancing Ser enaders,' who offer a singing, danc- ing, musical review that is a riot. This act comes we'll recommended from the Poli circut where they havs been featured.

There will be continuous shows on Saturday.

I anticipated your letter, my own dear Joan, and wrote Captain Wallis along just about the lines you ad- vised Of course, it was a wild idea, my going out to that lonely camp in the woods and acting as his lightning stenographer while he reeled off a 30, ,O0O-word novelette,. A perfectly wild idea.
 And I fully realized it, dear. 1 wrote him a sane, unemotional letter, saying I just simply couldn't, no mat ter how much I longed to help him out in the emergency.
 Then I went to bed and could no more sleep than as though I had de- lberately robbed a friend of years income.
 You say, Joan dearest, that Captain Wallis had no right to ask such Il thing of me--to put me in the posi- tion of refusing to help him out, while all the time the thing he asked was impossible to do. You say you think less of him for having asked it.
 I am trying to, too. It is like a man speaking to you on the street You are indignant, insulted. And yet-Oh, Joan, if he is young-and good looking-and appears to be a regular man after .all-and a gentle man-why, you can't help feeling just a little bit pleased.
 And you begin to wonder if he isn't the Exception. And whether it would not have been perfectly safe, in this ono case, to let it go a little further. After all, you are able to take care of yourself. And maybe he is a total stranger in the town who longs to know some nice girl and has no way Of meeting one.
 The thing assumes all the delight full possibilities of Real Adventure Innocent, clean. yet exciting and leading to who knows what. Nothing is i'm possible. The world is full of romance if one only happens to run across it.
 Of course, you scarcely dare admit all this, even to yourself. You choke off your wild and silly dream. You don't even look over your shoulder. And he S gone.
 You yaWn upon your way. Perhaps

through a real problem. That is what rankles. To be handicapped by social laws in a way to prevent your actu-' ally saving serious situation.
 If Captain Wallis had been drown ing and l had a chance to rescue him, would it have mattered whether or not we had been properly introduced? If he had broken both legs stopping a runaway, would I hesitate to nurse him in some wayside inn until his family could come?
 Yet because neither of us is in physical danger, We are supposed to be in moral danger which only the presence of a chaperone with gilt edged credentials can remove.
 Well-it's all finished and done with now I hope to heaven he can find another stenographer to help him with his next to- impossible job. It kills me to be responsible for his losing all that money, and maybe fame, too. I shall don my chast6 white crepe and go down for a chat with the Harvard lifeguard on The Urge of the Cosmos or something light like that, to take my mind off my worries.

LYCEUM THEATFR-

The Cormican Players will be seen but three more times in that ever lasting success The Rosary" at the Lyceum tonight and tomorrow after noon and night, after which, begin ming next Monday night the widely discussed drama Yes Or Mo-" will inaugurate the farewell week of this deserVedly popular group of thespians.
 Yes Or Mo-" is described as a com edy drama of women and their homes. The title comes from the fact that most of the big crises in life are settled by one of these two little words. Two women face such crises in this play, and their answers change and mould their after lives. One of these women is rich: and the other is poor. In the presentation of the double plot, a method of ancient drama is used, which, with the aid of modern devices in the theater, be- comes distinctly novel. While the stories of rich and poor are parallel they are not balanced. The structure of the play demands that one story is that Of a woman's developm ent, while the other is that of an entire family. In addition to the regular company including the Misses Van Waldron, Rochte, Sake, Mrs Gleason, and Messrs. Morgan, Cormican, Gal lagher, the following players have been brought on from New York: Ethel Dagget, w. B. Read, Wilbur Braun, James Marr. Foster Williams, George EllwoOd and the clever kid dies, the Read children, Hazel and William, who appeared in the original cast
