HUNTINGTON MAKES
GREAT RECORD FOR
BUYING WAR STAMPS
The record which Talking Rock has
made in the sale of war saving stamps
is quite an enviable one, indeed, for
the little village way back in the out
lying spurs of the Blue Ridge moun-
W tains. Yes; we would say bully, foi*
the small, but .patriotic bunch of 108
inhabitants. Think about it, will you! '
Nine hundred dollars to clothe, feed J
and arm our home boys at the front
and in the trenches. Look a little
further and you will see that each citi
zen contributed nearly ten dollars.
Those people who live in that sparsely
settled and comparatively . isolated
portion o f the Piedmont belt, which
runs through north Georgia and South j
Carolina, and en through North Caro-j
lina and Virginia, can boast and feel
prcud of the fact that the only pure
and genuine Anglo-Saxon blood in our
country is to be found among the peo
ple in the mountainous portions of
lorth Georgia, the Carolinas and Vir
ginia. Previous to the Revolution and
on down to the present time, those -
descendents of our forefathers have
been privileged to live unmolested in
the plateaus and escarpments of the
Appalachian system, to work out their
own destiny in their own quiet and
unostentious way.
Now comes Huntington to the bat,
not to say that we have accomplished
more than any any one else; we are
too modest for that, but to state a few
simple facts relative to the sale of
war savings stamps. Two thousand,
one hundred dollars marks the limit
today—one thousand by Bose Johnson
for his children, Gus and Frances; G.
W. Nunn, one hundred for Robert
Reeves; Lee Johnson, one thousand
for Mrs. Buck Johnson, at Leslie. I
might add that another thousand is
an assured fact. Twenty-five thousand
would easily go but for the limit fix
ed by Uncle Sam. An actual count
gives Ug thirty population, and for
each individual we have fallen in line
for war purposes with seventy dollars.
Bully again, for our little town. Amer
icus is doing very well, but somehow
I feel that she is getting credit for our
little mite. Let some one else come
to the bat, and I promise you that our
running will score more runs.
Now, Mr. Editor, it would be real
in you to ask about' us down this way
•nd get reliable information that we
are a part of Sumter county. Our
people are modest, never “but in,” yet
we are ambitious, clever as the “dick
ens” and always willing to reach out
for the fellow in the rear.

FILM CITY WILL BE
BUILT AT SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH. Ga., February 6.—Sa
vannah is soon to have a film city,
with its own studios, laboratories,
hotels and bungalows, in detail similar
to the famous Universal Film City,
which probably was the chief factor
in bringing into nation-wide populari
ty the city of Los Angeles, Cal.
Preliminary plans have already been
completed, including the purchase of
equipment. The location of the site
has not been announced, further than
that it will be in the .vicinity of Sa
vannah.
The backers of the enterprise, War
ren G. Bellew, Marcia McFadden and
U W. McFadden, filed application for
a charter in the Superior court yes
terday morning. The company will be
chartered with a capital stock of
five hundied thousand dollars, which,
according to the backers, will be in
creased to one million or a million
and a half within a shot time. Tne
per cent of the capital stock, or $50,-
000, has been paid in.
The incorporators yesterday stated
that they have associated with them]
a number of influential people, who
will compose one of the strongest j
organizations in the South. The cam
ipany’s legal interest are being taken
ear e of by the firm of Edwards and (
which filed the petition for
MWcharter.
“The Dixie Film City Corporation”
is the title of the new enterprise, and
the new city city will be known as
the “Dixie Film Citq.”

RAID ON CAR OF COAL MADE BY HUNDREDS DRIVEN TO DESPERATION

wk? > x ' z wi • ■ WwtMII -•-
The seriousness of the coal shortage which brought about Doctor Garfield’s drastic order is illustrated by this
photograph. Hundreds are shown raiding a coal car in a yard at Philadelphia. They came with all sorts of wagons,
carts, bags, perambulators, and anything and everything that could be used to carry the precious coal and loaded them
up with a supply of the sorely needed fuel. No guard could have stopped the rush of people, who knew that they
must get coal or freeze.
INTIMATE FIFE OF
FURMER CZAR IF
TOHOLSK, SIBERIA
FIRST REGARDED WITH AWE HE
IS NOW LOOKED UPON AS COM-
MONPLACE BY PEOPLE ABOUT
HIM.
BY JOSEPH SHAPLEN
United Press Staff Correspondent.
PETRGRAD, Feb. B.—The first in
timate story of former Czar Nicholas’
secluded life of exile at Tobolsk came
out of Siberia to the United Press to
day. A. Suchanoff, constituent assem
bly member from Tobolsk, described
Nicholas Romanoff’s intimate doings,
his trials, sorrow and heart burnings.
Suchanoff declared that Nicholas is
bashful and diffident.
He is scorned by many of his fel
low men.
The people who formerly trembled
at the emperor's ukase, now turn their
heads away when he talks of his
kingdom. The family of Rasputin, the
black monk, lives nearby, but treat
Nicholas coldly.
The former czar’s favorite reading
is the exposure of his own private life
at court, which is being printed in
several newspapers.
“At first,” Suchanoff said, “the pop
ulation was very much interested in
Nicholas. But the people soon accept
ed him as commonplace.
“On his first public appearance he
w ent out to attend morning mass at a
nearby church. He quailed at the
prospect of walking through the
streets and chose a secluded road,
where he could be hidden from sight.
But the people discovered him there.
He was followed by a crowd of the
curious. |
“or the first time in his life, Nich
olas was of the people, walking with
them. He respectfully took off his
hat. The people scorned him. They
made no reply to his salute.
“The Romanoff family is receiving
rench and Russian literature and also
the newspapers which are printing
the exposure of Nicholas’ private lief
at court. The former czar and his
elatives are especially interested in
.the Rasputin episodes. The family of
the black monk lives near Tobolsk,
but they never visit Nicholas.
“Sawing wood in the mornings has
greatly improvel Romanoff physic
ally. His wife prays frequently but
she is also very adept at cards and
plays in the evenings. ,
“Nicholas is busy in his spare time
teaching his little son history. Under
the fathers’ in<d£ucj.ion the ex-czare
vich has become very familiar with all
the big international episodes of his
tory, all, of course, from the Romanoff
viewpoint.”

THE AMERICUS
MISTRIAL DECLARED
I IN KIRKLAND’S CASE
4
I ■■—■■■
1 SAVANNAH, Ga., February 6.
Finding themselves unable to reach
a unanimous conclusion the jury in
I the case of Tyree Kirkland, charged
with failing regitser for army service
as required by the act of last May,
, was discharged by Judge Evans yes
terday morning and a mistrial order
. ed entered.
The case was given to the jury Mon
day night at 7 o’clock and at 11 o’clock
yesterday Judge Evans called the body
to the court room.
! “Gentlement, have you been able to
agree upon a verdict?” the court
asked.
j "We are hopelessly deadlocked,’’
replied G. W. Dwelle, Jr., foreman of
the jury.
> Asked by Judge Evans if their di
vision wtfs one of law or fact, Mr.
Dwelle] answered that it was one of
1 fact, and the jury thereupon was dis-
• missed.
There were various reports as to the
1 views of the jury, the general under
standing being that it stood eight for
conviction and four for acquittal.
• The inability of the jury to agree
I apparently was equally disappointing
' to th© prosecution and defense.
It was stated by District Attorney
• Donaldson shortly after the report of
■ the jury that the case would be set
for a second trial at the next term
! of court in March. Owing to the fact
! that the jurors summoned for the
1 current session of the federal court
heard most of the evidence in the case,
it was not possible to have another
1 hearing immediately, the district at
torney announced.

KEPT HER AWAKE
The Terrible Pains in Back and
Sides. Cardui Gave Relief.
' Marksville, La.—Mrs. Alice Johnson,
of this place, writes: "For one year I.
suffered with an awful misery in my back j
and sides. My left side was hurting me
all the time. The misery was something
t awful.
1 could not do anything, not even sleep
. at night. It kept me awake most of the
I night... I took different medicines, but
! nothing did me any good or relieved me
■ until I took Cardui. ..
I was not able to do any of my work
for one year and I got worse all the time,
was confined to my bed off and on. 1 got
so bad with my back that when I stooped
down I was not able to straighten up
again ... I decided 1 would try Cardui
... By time I had taken the entire bottle
I was feeling pretty good and could
straighten up and my pains were nearly
all gone.
I shall always praise Cardui. 1 con
tinued taking it until I was strong and
well.” If you suffer from pains due to
female complaints, Cardui may be just
what you need. Thousands of women
who once suffered in this way now praise
Cardui for their present god health.

GROCER LOSES LICENSE,
I OIIEKIM OH SIIEIO
> WASHINGTON, February 6.—Louis
Hoffman, a wholesale grocer of No.
77 Ludlow street, New York, has been
1 closed his doors by order of the food
1 administration. He is deprived of his
license because of profiteering in su- (
gar and forcing hi s customers to make
1 combination purchases.
I Hoyman’s case was heard by the
‘ Federal Food Board in New York and
I dragged out several weeks ago. It
1 developed that he sold sugar for as
high as 17 cents a pound, though the
I fixed wholesale price was then 8.8
cents.
The severity of the sentence is (
mitigated by the fact that it is an
nounced that if, by May 1, Hoffman
can show he has not violated the food
control act in any further partlcuinr
an application for restoration of his
license will be considered.
Puzzling English Pronunciation.
We may puzzle our brains over the
tongue-twisting names which France
and Russia have given to some of
their towns, but England furnishes a
few quite as dazzling as that of Prze
mysl. Hurstmonceaux, for Instance, is
pronounced Her-so; Kirkcudbright,
Kir-coo-bree. Daventry, Dantry; La
ominister, Leinster, and Evesham,

For
Seventy-Three
Years
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark, New Jersey, has stood for all that is
best in life insurance.
More than nine thousand satisfied Georgia policy
holders—many of them your friends and neigh
bors—will gladly testify to its merits.
This Is the Company:
That furnishes insurance at absolute cost, with a
most liberal policy contract giving cash, loans
and other values from the FIRST year.
That has the unique practice of extending to old
members every improvement, advantage or con
venience which may be offered to the new in
surer—bringing the old policies up to date, in so
far as possible.
That writes a very large proportion o its busi
ness from year to year on its old customers.
That treats every member as a partner, and on
that account has attained a nation-wide reputa
tion as “A Policyholders Company.”
That helps to “keep money at home,” which is
demonstrated by the fact that the amount loaned
on Georgia farms and other payments to Georgia
citizens has exceeded the total premiums collect
ed in the state for several years.
That has increased its dividend scale three times
and also declared four Special Dividends within
the past eight years, thus indicating economical
management.
