CUSTER FOUGHT
BY WESTON

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 10. -
Delegation to the governor of
power to suspend public officers
elected by the people was termed
"tyrannic and shocking" by
counsel for j. M. Weston, ousted
treasurer of lee county, Va, in
mandamus proceedings against
Weston argued in the Supreme
Court of Appeals here.
Charles D. Fugate. named by
Governor John Garland Pollard
to succeed Weston, petitioned the
court for a writ of 'nanoamus
compelling Weston to surrender
his office and tax tickets. Con
tending the law on the subject is
unconstitutional Weston refused
tc Vacate his offices.
The Supreme Court took the
case under advisement and will
hand down a decision next month,
if the usual procedure is followed
although the unusual situation
now prevailing in Lee county
may cause the court to PASS on
the matter later in the January
term.

DADDY LONG LEGS" A
MERITORIOUS ATTRACTION

One of the best Cinderella stories
a Cinderella tale) has reached the
talking screen in Daddy Long Legs"
with two of the most popular stars and
a splendid supporting cast to put it
over. Janet Gaynor does the best job
she has done since Seventh Heaven"
and Warner Baxter gives another of
his smooth, satisfying performances as
the Daddy Long Legs to Miss Gay
nor's Judy Abbott.
Made famous on the stage by Ruth
Chatterton, and on the silent screen
by Mary Pickford, the lovable or
phaned Judy returns once more as an
ideal character for Janet Gaynor. To
all of the best elements of the stage
story have been added smart modern
treatment and excellent dialogue.
Under the direction of Alfred Santell,
Fox has given the picture all that
could be given it in the way Of settings
and production.
Add to the above portion Una Mer-
KEEL, that Southern youngster who is
most excellent as a screen comedienne;
Claude Gillingwater, who does the old
butler-secretary, Riggs, to perfection;
John Arledge, who knows his collegi-
ate stuff, and bright youngster named
Kendall MacComas who pretty nearly
steals the orphanage sequence, and you
have something to talk about.
Daddy Long Legs will be at the
Elco Theatre, days beginning Sun
day, october 4th.

Beautiful in their fading are the
Autumn leaves,

Beautiful in their fading are the
Autumn leaves,
Though beautiful, despite their beauty,
yet my heart still grieves,
For behind their beauty, discern
their shortening breath,
And upon their flaming colors the
whitening touch of death.
But when I deeper, clearer see these
fading Autumn leaves,
Their fiery splendor clinging vainly
to the trees,
My growing heart is freed of all the
pain,
Because in newer, brilliant green the
leaves will live again.
I do not know, I cannot tell how this
can ever be,
But in the silent, wondrous change
is life's sweet mystery;
Why then lament when Autumn
leaves fall fast upon the mounds.
The God who made them in a.
bundant life abounds.

RIDE IN THE CAR, NOT ON 1T,
NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL.

Automobiles are built to ride in, not
on, says warning from the National
Safety Council. Adults usually show
better sense, but school boys, (and
some girls too seem to think that even
if car is filled up, it will carry few
more on the running board, the spare
tire, or the bumpers.
The danger is apparent. In their
merriment they may loose their hold.
Bumps and ruts may cause them to
fall off. Tire Carriers or bumpers may
break. 1t is mighty dangerous way
to travel.
Then there is the habit of over
loading the front seat. Many cities
have ordinances forbidding more than
three riding in the front seat. More
is dangerous. Play safe.
