THE LAST OF THE DUANEs,

William Farnum will be seen al
the Grand theatre June 1929.
Zane Grey's strenuous tale of wild
and woolley life in the Texas bad
lands fits the strenuous personality
of Bill Farnum like the proverbial
glove and screens into mighty
good meloarama of it's kind.
Whether afoot, or horseback,
lodging bullets or closing into hand
grips with his enemies, Farnum al
ways appears to be enjoying himself.
lndiscriminate scrappins of any sort
is meat and drink to him and you
can safely bet there is no shortage
of such provisions in THE Last of

from the start, when Buck perfor-
ates the chap who lays for him with
gun and is compelled to seek the
society of a bunch of unregenerate
outlaws in order to escape the
threatened results of his deadly
craftsmanship, and never a let-up in
the whirl of the speed wheel until
our hero is duly shot to pieces in
turn, and only misses being the last

The pictures chief aim is obvious
ly the production of rapid-fire sue

tains its purpose. Unlimited gun
play, hair-breadth escapes, exciting
feats of Workmanship, adventures
enough for q good-sized serial are
crammed into the seven
reel compass, but thanks to J. G. Ed
wards admirable direction the con-
tinuity of the plot is well preserved
and the main thread OF the story
never vanishes. The locations are
we'll chosen and the stern beauty of
the rugged mountain scenery is
beautifully developed by skillful
work.

"BARE FISTED GALLAGHER

AS "Bare-Fisted Gallagher" Will
lam Desmond has a happy-go-luclIy
role in his latest picture. which
comes to the Liberty June 1920.
The story is whiz with lots of
peppery action which moves fast, at
the same time carrying brand of
humor which gives the popular big
star plenty of opportunity for the
manipulation of his nifty fists and
unctuous grin.
There is a pretty girl who has
turned stage-robber in. the disguise
of boy bad Mexican who comes
to grief when "Bare-Fisted" bangles
him by his legs with his head in
creek after a desperate fight, and
then gets shot up when he tries to
rob the stage and place the evidence
on "Bare-Fisted" and some humor-
Gus types of the Southwest cattle
country
One of the comical bits is a poker
game in which a cattle-rustler, a
Mexican desperate, a bad negro and
Bare isted" engage. When a dis
pute arises the cattleman places his
gun on the table, the Mexican goes
down his neck after a knife, the me-
gro pulls razor from his boot,
while Bare Fisted" slams the table
with his bare fists, his only weapon.
"Bare-Fisted" sets trap for the
stage robber by planting a man with
a shotgun in the bottom of the stage.
A tense dramatic situation develops
when he learns that the girl he has
fallen in love with is the robber for
whom he has set the death-trap, and
he rides out to warn her.

Prepared from hemp, it is chewed or

CHECKERS"

Checkers" is a screen adaptation
of the racing melodrama by Henry
NJ. Blossom, Jr., which for years in
its original stage drew crowded the
aires in every part of the globe.
It was secured by Fox Film Cor
poration with the intention of max
ing it duplicate on the silver screen
the phenomenal success it had
achieved on the stage. 1t is coming
to the Grand theatre June 24-25.
With the assignment of Check

was given carte blance, with the re-
suit that no expense was spared in
staging this production-from the
actual train wreck to the racing
scenes at Belmont Park amid the
cheering thousands in the grand
stand and field. The big wreck
scene, where "Remorse' (played by
the original Old Rosebud) is almost
lost in the box car, afire and sink
ing in the river, was staged on the
Raritan Valley Railroad in New Jer-
sey.

Death of Mr.. Frank Ives.

The death of R. Frank Ives of the
Ives Motor Company, which occurred
at the Florence Infirmary at eleven
o'clock Monday night from pneumonia
following influenza, came as a great
shock to his family and friends. Early
in the day he was much improved
and there was every reason to believe
that the crisis had passed. In the
afternoon, however, heart trouble de-
veloped and this was primarily the
cause of death. The body was taken
to Sumter Tuesday night and inter-
ment was made there yesterday.
Mr.. Ives is survived by widow
and one daughter, Louise, aged 8,
years, his father and mother and the
following sisters are also left: Mrs
Frank Mccarthy of New Jersey, Mrs
I. A. Calhoun of Kingstree, and Mrs
Morgan Timmons of Florence. Mr.
Ives was one Of the most popular OF
the young business men of Florence

Death of w. R. Cooper

Nesmith, March 17,-Mr. w. R.
Cooper died at his home near Nesmith
Sunday afternoon, March IA, 1920.
Mr.. Cooper had been failing in
health for some time, but was con-
fined to his room for only short
while before his death. He was taken
to DR.. Kelley's infrmary in Kingstree
but his case soon proved hopeless;
human hands could not save him, so
having a desire to spend his last
days in his old home and with his
loved ones, he was brought home
Monday week.
He suffered untold agony in his
last hours, but he bore his illness
patiently, never complaining, never
murmuring.
The day before his death, after his
pastor had read to him and prayed
for him, he assured those around him
that he was not afraid to die, for it
was Gods will, so was it his.
Mr.. Cooper served as a superin-
tendant of the Sunday-school, as clerk
and treasurer of the church and was
one of its deacons until recently re-
lieved on account of his illness. He
was an earnest worker and devout
christian. 1t can well be said of him,
his work is finished, he hath done
what he could.
He will be missed, his place in the
home is vacant, his pew is empty,
but he has left footprints for US to
follow. His good works remain and
as a reward he is now at rest.
He leaves widow, two sons, two
sisters and one brother to mourn his
loss. His sons are: s. H. Cooper Of
Georgetown, w. ]. Cooper of Morris
vile; his brother, B. Cooper of Mou-
zon; his sisters are: Mrs. Ida Wooten
of Andrews and Mrs. G. R. Walton
of Morrisville.
He was laid to rest in the cemetaly
at Belin's Monday afternoon, March
Is. May God bless and comfort his
bereaved family, is our earnest prayer.

MEXICAN TROUBLE
LANSINC'S UNDOINC
SECRETARY TRIED IN VAIN TO
ALTER PRESIDENTS POLICY
SAYS H. L. WILSON
(By the Associeted Press)

Chicago, March 16.-President Will
sons policy in Mexico is responsible
for the anarchy which has existed in
Mexico for years" and was the direct
cause of the resignation of Robert
Lansing as Secretary of State, Henry
Lane Wilson, former Ambassador to
Mexico, declared in an address before
the Agate Club here.
"It is an error to ever suppose that
Mexicans have struggled for liberty VI
he added. "Mexicans interpret liberty
as license, and consequently the strug-
gle has always been for loot. Mexico
has never had what we call a political
election. Every government has been
shot into and out Of power.
Says Mexicans Laugh at U. S.
president Wilson followed consist
emily his foolish policies by recogniz-
ing Caranza, the man who has brought
Mexico to the conditions of anarchy
which prevailed so years ago.
"Nc European government recog-
nized Caranza and for that reason
they have been able to maintain their
dignity in Mexico and command re-
spect from the Mexican government.
Mexicans, however, laugh at the
United States. They have insulted
President Wilson and they continue
to insult him because they can do so
with impunity. Since 1910 there have
been 66O Americans convicted and
murdered on Mexican soil and during
that time not a single Mexican or
European has. been convicted, nor
even tried by law. American capital
has been confscated to the amount
of s1,2OO,0O0,0OO.
During the late war Mexico was
the center for all German plots
against the United States. Under
President Wilson's very eyes 100 Ger
mans were training Mexican troops
for assault on our border. Our rep
resentatives down there have been
Kissed in the Mexican congress.
Impossible to Live There
"The latest instance of this is Am
bassador Fletcher's resignation, say
ing that it was impossible to live
down there and that the United States
had no definite policies to be carried
out"
Secretary Lansing tried repeatedly
to change the Presidents policy, Mr..
Wilson added, but failed.
"A short while ago, while Mr..
Fletcher was still Ambassador to
Mexico, there was a conference be-
tween Mr.. Lansing and Mr.. Fletcher"
he said. "They introduced, as re-
suit of this conference, a motion in
the Senate to break off relations with
Mexico. The attempt failed by rea-
son of interference from President
Wilson. Lansing's resignation was
one of despair at trying to follow a
consistent policy in Mexico"

GROWTH OF TRUCK
TRANSPORTATION
TONNAGE CARRIED BY MOTOR
TRUCKS INCREASING AT
RAPID RATE

In national interest--perhaps even
truck exceeds all the many modern
transport mediums. In importance it
is second to none. Ships and ship
ping can travel only over highly re-.
stricted routes; railroads can serve
well defined and established areas,
but motor trucks penetrate every nook
and corner Of the country and the
hum of their engines is heard every.
where.
This spring is going to see the most
startling development of the motor.
truck transportation movement.
Shortage of freight cars, the con-
gested condition of railroads and an
anticipated big jump in freight rates
are a few of the contributing causes
which will cause shippers to turn to
the motor truck to help them out Of
their difficulties. .
For the past threee years the coun-
try has been educated to the efficiency
of the motor truck as a "short haul"
transportation medium and has had
daily demonstrations of its ability to
carry goods safely and swiftly direct
from consignor to consignee. By
"short haul" we refer to any distance
up t 250 miles, but preferably within
the $50 mile radius, for it is there
that the truck shows its greatest use
fulness. Within this distance the
motor truck has demonstrated its eff
ficiency so clearly that New York
merchants and manufacturers are
taking it up in earnest and the ton
mage hauled out of and into New
York every day by trucks is increas-
ing by leaps and bounds.
This is no reflection upon the ability
of the truck to carry goods for great
er distances. Under stress and emer-
gency it has done wonders in the long
haul. But the successful motor truck
transportation route from New York
to Chicago, for instance, as business
proposition, is thing of the future.
This will come only with the higher
development of our good roads sys-
tenn, when trucks will be able to travel
anywhere on long through route
over broad, concrete highways.
The good road is to the truck as i'm,
portant as the locomotive to the rail
road. Over-warm enthusiasts, whose
praise of the motor truck as long
distance carrier is halted only by
the limitations of the American Ian
guage, are, we are inclined to think,
doing the truck more harm than good.
The best modern freight trains on
long hauls with crew of six men,
will carry 100000 tons. To trans
port the same tonnage by motor truck
would require 1000 trucks and 1000
men to operate them. If for no other
reason, the element Of labor shortage
alone would obviously make this un-
feasible, and exponents of this propa-
ganda only bring ridicule on a form
of transport which, within its own
field, is without a serious rival. In
the short haul the motor truck has so
clearly shown its superior efficiency
that a real era of motor truck trans
portation is upon US.
Some of the motor express COM
panies listed regularly operate as
many as sixty trucks and can handle
shipments of any nature.
