SQUIRREL ATTACKS MAN
Vicious Animal Roams Woods Seeking
Whom He May Devour.

A vicious squirrel is roaming the
woods near Anderson s. c., seeking
whom he may devour.
The word of Frank Stone, motor
man for the street car company here,
was given for the truth Of the state
ment.
Stone, going happily along to his
work, taking no more than the usual
precaution against attack by squirrels,
WIS set upon by the animal which
fastened its teeth in Stones right ear
and enjoyed a nice breakfast. Stone
sought to brush the squirrel away with
his hand, whereupOn the animal coun-
tered with raid on bis fingers, chew
ing several of them.
Stone dashed to police headquarters
and reported his experience, but the
police don't know what to do about it
except to go hunting. They suspect
the squirrel has rabies.

"MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME"
NAMED FOR FAMOUS BALLAD
TO BE SHOWN HERE TO-DAY

my Old Kentucky Home" ar
original story by Anthony Paul Kelly
who wrote the continuity of Way
Down East" named after the famous
ballad and directed by Ray G. Small
wood, will have it's initial presenta-
ton here at the Liberty theatre start
| ing tonight.
My Old Kentucky Home" is a story
of the south, of mother love, with a
beautiful human romance running
through it. 1t has thrills aplenty and
has tremendous action, especially in
the racing scenes. 1t has been COM
pared to way Down East" for its
wholesomeness and is making motion
picture history throughout the land.
A splendid a1l-star cast is seen
headed by Monte Blue, one of the
country's favorite screen actors. 9th
ers are Sigrid Holmquist, Julia
Swayne Gordon, Lucy Fox, Frank
Currier, Matthew Betz and Arthur
Carew. The scenes are lavish and
well photographed The big melo-
dramatic punch, the Kentucky Derby,
where is seen the running of that an
nual classic event and the winning Of
the race by a horse on which a proud
southern widow has staked her all for
her boy, are remarkable. They were
taken at the race-track in Lexington.
The story has to do with young
man who has been railroaded to pris-
on and when released fears to go
home for breaking his mothers heart.
He hears the strains of my Old Ken
lucky Home" resolves to go home.
How he lives in fear of being ex-
posed, how villain tries to wreck his
life and take his sweetheart from him
and how he wins in the end is un-
folded in a great big human way.

GASTON INSISTS ON
RECOUNT IN BAY STATE
Refuses to Concede That He Wao De-
feated Tuesday by Senator
lodQe.

Boston, Mass, Nov, lO.-Colonel
William A. CASTOR yesterday formally
announced that he would demand re-
count OF the votes in the fight for the
United States Senatorship.
According to the Secretary of State,
this means that every vote in that
fight must be counted once more, in
Guiding those given Lodge and Nichols
and even the blanks.
This does not mean, however, that
petitions will have to be sent to the
/ ,40S precincts in the state, but to the
597 electoral units. The petitions will
have to state the reason for asking the
recount. The complete state vote gave
Lodge q lead of S,427 votes over Gas
ton.
There is a precedent for statewide
recount. THIS came in 1912 in the cleo
tion of Presidential electors.
A rehabilitation of the entire state
vote shows the foiiowing results:
Lodge, 413,565, Castor, 4O5,13S. Colo
mel CASTOR has yet to concede his de
feat on the lace of these latest returns
and Senator Lodge in consequence
