were good over the three fours in MacCoy's hand, and he drew in the pot.
 For a minute or two dad had been aware of feet moving behind him, and as he glanced over his shoulder he saw that half a dozen men, Fitch and Webb among them, stood around the door There were many more behind them and he could hear others coming up the stair. They must have sensed something of the significance of the game, he said, for none of them moved towards the table Were these men to see the greatest vic- tory of his life-or his ruin?
 "Richey shuffled, Lundy cut, and Richey dealt. The men at the door were quiet now. You could see the tension quickening, Dad said
 "On Richey's deal dad got two jacks, which he drew to. MacCoy asked for three cards, Lundy for two Richey took three himself. Dad had caught another jack and on the strength of it bet stack of reds. MacCoy raised the stack. Lundy mediated, narrow his eyes at dad for a moment and then saw the raise. Richey dropped and Peter son contented himself with a call. But dads jacks had gone back on him-Lundy had filled a straight with his two card draw.
 Dad said the pressure outside had forced several of the men into the room. The room began to reek of cut plug and burning kero- sene and sweat. There wasn't much talk Dad won the third hand. The fourth went to Mccoy, the fifth to Richey. On the sixth hand dad bluffed with couple of sevens. MacCoy and Richey drop ped out early, but Lundy had bet S2,000 before he drew back and dad reaped the pot. At the end of an hour Lundy had lost around $4,000, Richey was about even, Mac Coy was a little ahead.
 'Lundy aIlowed himself to look disturbed. He leaned forward, drum ming on the table. We ain't gettin' nowhereS.
 Dad nodded and they stared at each other in silence. Lundys eyes were hostile, but the look of com plete understanding in them was more evident than ever. Lundy leaned back
 Let's get at it, then
 Dad couldn't mistake his mean ing. Lundy didn't look at either Richey or MacCoy. Dad, of course had long since realized that they were as unrelated to the issues of the game as was the wax figures Lundy had confiscated two weeks before.
 "MacCoy cut and Lundy laid down five cards to each. Dad had three queens, a trey, an ace. He had feeling that the game was

coming to a head. His eyes leap ed to Lundys and dropped to his cards again. Richey discarded three, dad the ace and the trey, MacCoy three.
 Standing pat, eh?' MacCoy whispered
 "'I reckon thesell do me- Lundy's voice shook.
 Dad drew the two cards towards him, wondering what was Lundy's pat hand? The chances favored a full house. A flush was likely but not to be feared A straight flush was mighty rare.
 And then dad slipped the index corner of his draw carefully into sight and his heart stopped dead for a second The fourth queen was staring up at him! He had a hand that was within two of being unbeatable! With the aces broken only four kings and a straight flusf could top him. Standing pat wasn't an indication of fours and it wasn't likely Lundy had that rare bird, a straight flush. No, dad argued, Lundy's pat hand was either lower hand or a bluff And he'd like to see Lundy bluff his four painted ladies!" Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co)

Band Concerts Planned
Beginning June Dates

Announcement is made by J. G. Leon
ard, director of the Lexington Boys
Band, that the local organization will
begin their summer concerts on the
lawn of the court house starting Tues
day night, June IL, at o'clock.
The band concerts last season were
highly successful from community
standpoint and hundreds were attract
ed at the weekly renditions. This sum-
mer greater plans have been made and
outlying communities will now be in
terested owing to boys joining the band
the past year from the rural students as
well as the Lexington registration.
Arrangements will be made to seat
many of the listeners who plan to pa
tronize the events, and it is also hoped
that the city will make necessary steps
to erect suitable band stand.
Director Leonard stated that owing to
commencement dates at the local high
school, the opening of the summer con
certs was planned to begin the firs
week in June, but had to be postponed
until June IA on this account.

Watchman Shoots In
Alleged Self Defense

Warning him three times, as he al
leges, to keep away which was not heed
ed, and seeing that he was about to
begin an assault on him, Aubrey X.
Jones, commonly known as Casey Jones,
night Waterman for lumber mill, shot
and badly wounded Leon Winkler, al
legged nomad Of Battle Creek, Mich, in
the left leg, Saturday night at the
crossing beyond the Durant roundhouse,
about 8 o'clock.
AS far as known there were no eye
witnesses of the affair. Winkler was
cared for by DR.. J. w. Howell, who
found the bullet had struck above the
left knee, had plowed downward and
backward and was necessarily serious.
He had the man dispatched to the State
hospital at Jackson. After an exami-
nation the house surgeons reported that
the patient was in bad way and might
die. The victims account of the affray
did not differ materially from that of
Jones.
Jones after giving his weapon to L.
D. Owens at the Reynolds boardng g
house, surrendered to Marshals Meier
rim and Ashley, and told them what he
had done. His statement was that while
az IHe CROSSING Oh his way TO WOrk ne
asked jocularly of Winkler what he was
eyeing the brakeman so closely for.
The answer was that it was none of his
business. An alteration ensued and
when Winkler advanced and had gotten
few PAGES toward him he gave the
warnings as stated. He said it had not
been his intention to hurt the man and
aimed as he thought towards his feet
He was carried to Lexington jail.
Before the shooting Winkler was Civ
en- free meal at the California Cafe
by Charles Dinas. He said he had been
on trip to Texas, and was beating his
way back to Battle Creek. He appeared
a fully grown youth full of adventure
and did not have the appearance of a
hobo.
Jones is a popular character among
the lumber men, free hearted and al
ways ready to help the poor. His un-
fortunate position has aroused consd-
cradle sympathy on his behalf. He was
known as young man who paid his
debts and of good character. Bail was
reused Monday by county authorities

Marlborough Appointed
PickenS ScOutmaster

The most outstanding and noteworthy
step taken by the Lions Club since it's
organization a few months ago was it's
decision last Tuesday to organize a
scout troop for Pickens. The Lions
were delighted to have with them Scout
master Abernathy, of Jackson; Mr.
Wener, County Scout Chairman for
Madison; and two Eagle Scouts, Howell
and Roberts.
Mr.. Abernathy's talk was inspirations
al. He very forcibly impressed the
Lions with that part of his talk dealing
with character development and citizen
ship training, emphasizing the fact that
the scouts of to-day would be the lead
ers of tomorrow.
The club unanimously elected Lion J
NJ. Marlborough Scoutmaster for the
Pickens Troop and ordered him to
choose his committee of eight men to
| initiate the scout movement here.
Another matter considered by the
Lions was the report of Lion J. w. Ty-
Ter, in which he stated that his commit
tee was endeavoring to find a suitable
plot of ground on which to build houses
to accommodate the mills.

AS their initial production, Bobby
"A Connolly and Arthur Swanstrom
have presented Jack Donahue in Sons
o. Guns" at the Imperial, Theater,
New York, with Lily Damita, the IA
nous screen star. 1t is added that
Broadwayites concede that mot only
does the production surpass anything
ever before presented in gorgeousneSs
and unstinting display, but the humor
as contributed by the book and Jack
Donahue, who is part author of 1t, and
the perfect casting of the show, which
contains such players as William Fraw-
lev. Shirley Vernon, Milton Watson,
Mary Horan and Robert Hucheson,
make it a show that is sure to round
out a year at the same theater."
Sons O. Guns" was written by Fred
Thompson and Jack Donahue with
music and lyrics by Arthur Swanstrom,
Fred Coots and Bennie Davis. The cos
tunes are by Charles LIE Marie and
the scenery by Joseph Urban. Bobby
Connolly supervised the entire produc--
ton and staged those dances not put
on by Albertina Rasch, who has a spe-
cial troupe in the show.

Combing Its Hair.

OF large choruSeS in the many pictures
built on stage life and employing revues
copied from the stage.
"One is anxious to see dancing girls,
rows of them, only when they appear
in person, framed in proscenium and
only few feet from the audience" he
declared.
1T is probably the basic appeal of
dancing feet and swaying bodies that
holds one through the boredom of the
routine. But in pictures it is different
Even color adds not whit to the
appeal of dancing girls, and so many
films recently have included stage cho-
rus numbers that it is almost impossi-
BILE to bear with one now for any length
of time"
Despite his criticisms, he said he
found Hollywood an attractive place to
live and that the screen colony is af-
fable to the invaders from New York.
Before leaving the West, Abbott re-
wrote the dialogue for Erich Maria Re-
marques "All Quiet on the Western
Front" for the picture to be produced
by Carl Laemmle.
