Death Penalty for Russian Tax
Dodgers.

Rostof on Don, Russia, Nov. s.
The death penalty is being inflicted
i'm the Kuban and Don districts
upon peasants who attempt to
evade the grain tax which the gov
ernment has instituted instead of
money taxes. At Krasnodarsk a
peasant and two officials whom he
hrihed TO assist him i'm lodging the
grain levy were all shot, and radi-
cal steps are being taken through
ought South Russia, 10 check the
banditry which the Moscow govern

times been necessary 10 destroy the
villages as 4 warning TO other Of

The One Extra Marriage License

On December %, when the
Clerk of Court was issuing Il mar
riagc license TO a colorcd couple
applying TO the Clerks Office for
same. it occurred to him to make
comparative study of the mar
riage license records Of this year
and of last year. The number Of
marriage licenses issued for this
year among the colorcd pOpulaCc
was found, according TO "a faithful
record. to he two hundred and
one. coincidcntally as il was, the
number OF licenses issued on the
colored record OF last year was the
exact number of licenscs--twb hun
dred and one. While yet pausing
at this rather singular fact, the
Clerk was just then called upon
to fill out an additional marriage
license for Colored couple. This
made the number of licenses issued
AT this date only one. more license
than the number of licenses issued
up to the same date of the year
1920.
The number of white couples an
plying for licenses this year il
slightly under the number apply
inS AT similar time last year.

lice Officer Bark Sdale and imme-

memory and with it the name of
the street in Sumter upon which
her friend resided. All that she
could remember and all the infor-
nation that she was able to give
Oiliccr HarNSdalc was that her
friend was a widow woman and
had son about sixteen years old.
She stated that she had visited this
friend here i'm sumter before but
that now she was absolutely unable
to remember anything other than
she had told. officer Barksdale
named over his stock Of ladies in
the town, filing this m"agcr de-
sCriptiOn, but none of them were
right. Finally at the request Of the
old lady she was placed on train
No. 81 and went back TO her home

COW moose in the road at the foot
of Kingman hill, just outside the
Waltham settlement. The moose
started straight away down the
road. She covered the "mile
stretch" so-called, at high speed,
the car following closely. Then it
occurred to someone to- look at the
speedometer. The car was making
twenty miles. The moose still hung
to the road, hitting off a good clip
at square trot, the car following
her closely, so close at one time that
gravel from her hoofs struck the
windshield. Occasionally it was
necessary for the car to slow down,
but never below fifteen miles an
hour, and more often at twenty.
For SIS miles the moose kept up the
pace, finally turning out of the road
at the James Clark place.
Rapid progress is being made
this. week in the removal of the
ruins of the burned Dirigo theatre.
Work on a new building will begin
as soon as the debris is cleared
away. Milton w. Stratton of Bar
Harbor is drawing the plans. There
will be some material changes in
the new building. The entrance will
be near the river end of the build
ing instead Of at the eastern end as
before The entrance will be at
the street level, and the floor will
slope away into the basement, with
the stage at the eastern end. This
will give the widest part of the
theatre at the western end, and in
crease the seating capacity slightly.
There will be no stores in the build
ing. The building will also be of
different design than the old, and
more pleasing. The caves will be
not more than thirteen or fifteen
feet above the sidewalk, and the
building will have a peaked or hip
roof. The front and river end of
the building will be finished with
asbestos shingles, and the back with
steel. The interior will be finished
in the wood, attractively stained.
The change in design of the build
ing will, it is believed, improve the
ventilating facilities. 1t is hoped
to have the building completed early
in December.
