Lord and Lady Algy' is comedy

each other, have separated, chiefly be-
cause of financial difficulties and their
disa agreements over race horses and

his father. Algys elder brother,
Quarmby, supposedly a model of rec

MADE TWO RECORDS.
5. \. l.. Engineer Knows How to
Speed Engine and Sell Bonds.

Olar, May 3.-On April 25 Sea-
board passenger train No. 2, driven
by Frank Wilson. an engineer who
has acquired the name of casey
Jones' by the remarkable way in
which he handles his engine, was
charged with violating an ordinance
of the town by going through at full
speed and was summoned by Mayor
O. B. Lain to answer the charges
Thursday evening. The results were
somewhat interesting. Engineer Will
son arrived in Olar early Thursday
morning, and Immediately surren-
dered himself to the mayor, telling
the mayor he was aware of the fact
that court would not convene until
that night, but that he had done
some good work selling Victory
bonds in Savannah and he wanted to
offer his services to Olar that day,
being extremely anxious to see the
loan put through. The services of
Mr.. Wilson were accepted and it
was quickly seen that he could speed
the Victory loan as quickly as he
could his engine He was instru-
mental in securing loans amounting
to $4,000 during the day. He not on
ly sold bonds, but thoroughly con-
vinced every man he talked with that
there is at least one Christian run
ming an engine over the Seaboard
road. He is an enthusiastic prohibi-
zionist, claiming that he has never
taken drink of whiskey, neither has
he ever used tobacco and abhors pro-
family.
Mr.. Wilson met his trial like a
man. He explained to the court that
he was the man running the engine,
and that he was going as fast as his
engine would carry him, but that he
was ignorant of violating any law;
that he had been running an engine
IL years and had never before been
called into court. This order had
been recently published, and it was
an oversight of his that he did not
see it. After making his statement,
he asked the courts permission to
say something in behalf of the bond
issue. This privilege was granted
him and he made an impressive ad-
dress, which he claims was his first
public speech. He was readily ac-
quilted by the court.
"Casey Jones" made his departure
this morning with a large bouquet of
flowers. Many of his new friends
were at the train to bid him goodbye.
He says he is coming again, and Olar
will be gald to have him.

The World Needs Goods.

There is no denying the worlds
need for goods, nor the ability of the
industry of the United States to sup
ply a part of that need. The adjust
ments yet to be made are many. But
they are the concern of statesmen
and fnanciers; they are problems in
government and mathematics, and
not in production and consumption.
The productivity of the world is ad-
mittedly higher than before the war,
and it's earning power and buying
power is greater.
The conditions of trade may be
changed by the rules of government,
but the needs of peoples are perma-
nent. And, as has been pointed out,
the figures issued by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce of
the United States, indicating the
great growth of the export trade of
the nation, give little apparent rea-
son for any permanent depression.
In spite of all the uncertainties of
the reconstruction period, in spite of
the embargoes and restrictions, in
spite of the falling prices of commod-
tiles and the lack of ships, the ex-
ports for February reached a total of
s5S7,990,0 This indicates total
for the fiscal year ending June 80
of no less than $500, 100000, which
surpasses by more than two hundred
millions the total for 1917, the rec
ord year tofore.-Guaranty Trust

Will Give Four Concerts at Patriotic
Meetings in County.
To the People of Bamberg County:

10 tHo I6Ople Ol DdIuDeIS OOuuly.
There are only a few days yet re-
naming before our opportunity to
buy Victory bonds will be gone Many
bonds will have to be sold between
now and Saturday night if Bamberg
county is to go 'over the top"
/ fear that our people have not
realized the seriousness of this OBJ
legation, and the absolute necessity
of our county buying the amount of
bonds which the government has al
lotted us. I cannot believe that our
people would fail to subscribe for
every dollar of our quota if they
came fully to realize that this loan
is one of victory and thanksgiving.
Think of the price that our boys
have been called upon to pay! Think
of the seventy thousand American
boys, to whom life was as sweet as
it is to us, but who, today, are Sleep
ing Ou IuS pldlHS VI - duSC LII OluCl
that we might have this victory and
this peace! l challenge you to think
of these boys and refuse to buy bonds
on the ground that it is not conven-
lent at this time. If we fail to re-
spond to this call, then they will
have perfect right to look upon us
as having deserted them, and the
cause for which they fought and
died.
I am sure that Bamberg county
will not be willing that this be said
of them in the generations to come.
The banks of our county are max
ing very liberal offers to carry the
bonds for those who cannot pay
cash. If you cannot pay for your
bond now, see your bank and arrange
to pay part of it now, and carry
the remainder until next fall. We
must not and we cannot think of
failure
