LOYAL LIVES" VIVID
AND INSPIRING STORY

One who sees Loyal Lives' at
the America theater Will have n
much higher appreciation Of the
work of the persons connected with
the mall business OF the United
States than one has held before.
The great responsibility that rests
on the shoulders OF those who have
for their duty the carrying OF letters
and other articles that are handled
through the department. their loyal
~ to their government. and their
effort to carry out thsir work to the
greatest extent furnishes an inspira-
ton such as few lines OF work can
furnish.
Loyal Lives" Is not a dead de-
ptction Of the work Of postoffice
employees. II is not a picture OF
propaganda sent out by the govern
ment. Instead IL is n vivid thrill
ing, sympathetic story OF n family
who had reason to be familiar with
tho workings Of the postoffice sys-
tsm, to know It's strength and its
weaknesses, to live for II, to fight
for It and II need be TO die for II.
Mary Carr, probably the greatest
film mother Of all time. has a lead
ing role in the picture as h wife
Of the mail carrier who grows old

REALITY AGENTS ARE IN
BAD IN PIERCE COUNTY

WAYCROSS. May 8.-Certain of
the good citizens of Pierce county
have not recovered from the first
shock of surprise that followed the
purchase of number of options in
that county by a young man who
came there recently, according to
Attorney Kontz Bennett, OF Way
cross.
Mr.. Bennett said that not long ago
a young man who represented him
self to be the agent of a large real
estate company came to Pierce coun-
ty and began purchasing options. 1t
was noticed that he preferred farms
bordering on the creeks of the coun-
ty. He also purchased whisky from
certain of the farmers.
About a week after he left, a
squad of prohibition officers swoop-
ed down on the county and made
wholesale arrests among the farm
ers of the county, according to Mr..
Bennett. The purchasing agent APP
pears to have been federal agent

ANERNICCUS INSTITUT
SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM
Student Body Volunteers To PloR
And Chop Crop Now Growing
On School Farm

The Americas Institute, colored.
has solved its own labor problem. ac
cording 30 w. NJ. Reddick, PRINCIPAL
of the school.
This year for the first time we
have planted 80 acres in cotton"
Reddick said today. "Our cotton is
now ready to chop, and because Of
the scarcity of labor in the fields of
Sumter county, we appealed to the
student body this morning.
with only few exceptions every
member of the school volunteered to
chop the cotton. We divided them
into relays of 16 working each re-
lay for half day. Monday morn
ing 16 of the girl students went
into the fields with me at their head
and we chopped our half day. Tues
day morning another relay will go
composed of the senior class and
part of the Junior class. This will
be continued through Thursday
when we expect to have finished the
entire 80 acres.
"The boys in the institute are do
ing the blowing and the girls are
chopping the lcotton HThose who
are volunteering in this farm work
are board students only. City
students were not requested to work
eve have only two paid men on
the 200 or more acres of the insti-
tute's farm, the balance of the
work being done by the students
themselves.
The faculty is very much gratifed
at the desire of the pupils to pull
this OK out Of the ditch. OF course,
all did not go.
