AUTHOR INVADED
 RADICAL COLONY

The ignorant omb-thrower and those who incite him to violence against government are revealed in their evil activities by Augustus Thomas, author of the latest four star drama, The Volcano" starring Leah Baird.
 The drama is one of the strongest ever built by MT. Thomas. It is one long succession of thrilling situations, with an absorbing love story and a prevailing atmosphere of intrigue and plotting that keep the spectator alert from first to last
 The picture is peculiarly timely in that 1t comes at a period when the entire country is on the qui vive over bomb outrages and plottings of for eign radicals, who are being sought everywhere by police and secret ser vice officials.
 The fact is, however, that "The Vol cano,' was in the making by MT. Thomas long before any of the das- tardly crimes of violence that have shocked the country had taken place The author obtained most of his ma terial right in that quarter of New York where police investigation shows the big bomb plots were hatched He lived right among the radical hordes for several weeks in order to make sure of his local color and to study types.

 FOR MAGISTRATE

J. K. Anderson, colored, of Pine Mountain township today authorized the Log Cabin Democrat to announce the withdrawal of his candidacy as justice of the peace of his township.
 Anderson, who is recognized as 9 leader among his race and who holds the respect of all white citizens who know him, says he was solicited by both white and colored citizens of his township to become a candidate in order to suppress lawlessncss among his race, but after more mature con sideration he has decided it would not be best for him to make the race. In a letter to this paper he says:
 Some time ago, at the request of a number of citizens of Pine Mountain township, I announced as a candidate for justice of the peace The com- munity in which I live is composed exclusively of negro citizens and law lcssness prevails to some extent. In order to check or obliterate this dis order 1 consented to run for the of flee. am under the impression that . justice among the negro population will have tendency to decrease law infractions. Several white men of the community also asked me to make the race. However, I have come to the conclusion that it would possibly be bad policy and that my useful ness in the county might be affected by continuing in the race, and authorize you to withdraw my name from the ticket"

of tons of hay being shipped into
