BY the Side Of the Highway.

Yes sir, he did. He just poked
shotgun into our faces and told us to
give up our money, or he gwine to Kill
us. He got $22 from me and $24 from
him and told us to go long
That is the story that the spokcs-
man of two negroes told Sheriff Quinn
and Magistrate Back in Magistrate
Blacks office one day last week. The
negroes claimed that they were going
peaceably along the road after night
when the black hghwayman suddenly
appeared and relieved them of their
money They knew the fellow and they
wanted him arrested forthwith.
After issuing the warrant and having
the alleged highwayman arrested,
MAGISTRATE Black held preliminary
at which it was brought out that there
had been no hold-up at all; that they
had been playing skin" and that the
accused highwayman had won the
money off the other two in the
amounts named.

Slick Check Game.
Because there have been so many
slick bad check games, it is little
risky to characterize any one of them
as the slickcst of all; but this is Il
slick one. The incident is said to have
occurred in Charlotte few days ago.
Young fellow representing himself
as an eX-ScrviCe man went into a
clothing store and bought suit OF
clothes, that had been priced to him
for $S5.

$500. with the explanation that possibly
he did not have the full amount of
the chccR in the bank yet; that he
knew he had Il balance there, and ais"

Few Cattle and Hogs Shown.
(By a Staff Correspondent.)

The number of cattle and hogs ex-
hibited this year at the fair was moth

year; but those that were shown were
declared by good judges to be Of su-
nerior merit.

SCHOOL
SOCIETY
PROGRAMS

School society programs in the main
should grow out of the regular class
room work of the school. In MANY
districts this winter where programs
have been observed it has been found
that much material is being brought
into them which is not worth while.
Poorly prepared, poorly chosen, not
worth while selections occupy many
almost wasted hours. More parliament
airy drill is needed. More dramatiza
ton of reading work should be given.
Greater attention to presenting live
topics in hygiene, agriculture and
civics is needed. Spirited drills in
arithmetic held to make the hour
profitable one. This period is a fitting
hour for the final presentation of a
we'll worked out composition. In gen
eral, it is not wise to hold-the school
society oftener than once every two
weeks.

No UNFAIR
ADVANTAGE

The Los Angeles Times of Deem
Der y, sounds this warning editorial
ly:
$50 prounced has been the prog
ress of the open shop movement that
the Times feels constrained to SOUND
warning alike to employers and to
the public that it must not be carried
too far. The campaign to keep en-
ployment open to all honest workmen
IS grounded upon justice. 1t has been
waged against fallacious principle,
not against men, and personal repris-
ais must not be tolerated.
ct is not for the friends of indus
trial freedom to take any unfair adj
vantage of the members of the labor
unions. Most of them have been hon
est but deluded workmen who have as
ISOLATED themselves together There
must be no arrogance on the part Of
the open shop champions, no attempt
at crushing, no despotism, no unfair
ness. None of this talk about grind
ing the faces of union men. No con-
spiracy to make them suffer. No silly
boastful buster about what we will
do to them Nothing but fairness
and decency.
employers and the public alike
must show themselves tolerant toward
the members of the minority that has
failed in it's efforts to dominate Ameri-
can industry. To attempt reprisals
would be to adopt the policy of the
Bolsheviki. Justice abhors intoler-
ance; it deprecates mean reprisals; it
demands fair play alike for victor and
vanquished.
eff the collapse of the labor union
movement was to be the signal for re-
ducing wages to a point where an en-
ployer could make unfair profits at the
expense of those in his employ the
unions would quickly regain their
former power. 1t would be both dis
honest on the part of the employers
and poor business policy. Co-opera-
ton between employer, employee and
the public is necessary to produce the
best results in the industrial life of the
American people. The barriers be-
tween those who work with their
brains must be cleared away. II in
dustrial freedom is itself to be more
than a phrase there must be no class
bigotry, no class hatred, no class ac-
ton.
every citizen must remember that
American institutions are founded on
character, and the character is neither
class distinction nor a purchasable
commodity. If injustice is permitted
to have part in the open shop move
ment it will fail as surely as did the
closed shop campaign of the American
Federation of Labor"

company it to this city for burial in

December 4th reads:
LAS to increase efficiency? | wish
to say that practically every manu-
facturer and every contractor reports
an increase in efficiency within the
last sixty days. | think perhaps this
IS due to certain extent, to the fact
that there are five or six men for
every job. However, | want to say
that contractors now operating on the
open shop basis claim that their pro-
duction costs are much lower, due
to increased efficiency"

VULGARITY NOT WANTED IN
HAROLD LLOYD FILM

Vulgar is a word that has never
been applied to the comedies of Har-
old Lloyd, the newest Of which, Nov
or Never" is showing at the Liberty
Theatre tonight. This is indeed a
distinction and deserved one.
Harold Lloyd believes it is not
necessary to be vulgar to be funny.
In fact, he does not see fun in vul-
garity, and, furthermore, he believes
there are enough people in the world
who think the same to warrant max
ing clean comedies.
That his faith in wholesome tastes
of the public is justified is proven by
his marvellous rise to the top of a
ladder where the going was not only
steep, but crowded After little more
than year of special two-reel COM
edy features, Harold Lloyd is recog-
nized as the screens cleverest and
most talented comedian.
Nov or Never" is Harold Lloyd's
first comedy of new series under a
new contract with Associated Exhib-
itors. AS usual, he is supported by
beautiful Mildred Davis. A new as
sistant is four-year-eld AnnaMay Bill
son, a child for whom a great future
is predicted
