Dear Sir:—
I'm taking the liberty to write to
you. just to say that regardless of how
far Covington's sons may roam they
don't forget that serene little city.
i get the Covington News regularly,
and read it with much pleasure.
Sometime ago 1 saw a small item
about Mr. Coy Swann’s acceptance of
a position with the Great American In¬
surance Company, New York; so when
mv ship came north again I looked
him up. He was my guest aboard the
C. S. S. Maryland Sunday afternoon.
We both agreed that it would he nice
to have a few yards of "Mother's

“There’s no place like home” were nev¬

Government Starts Machinery Dispostid Which
Will Place Beer at of
Doctors.
Washington, D. C., November 3—
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon today
issued instructions to treasury officials
to expedite distribution of the nexx reg¬
ulations. authorizing manufacture and
sale of beer for medicinal purposes.
There will be no delay in fully legaliz¬
ing beer sales through pharmacists.
Machinery at Work
State prohibition directors today were
ordered to arrange for the approval of
all applications that will facilitate the
setting up of machinery at breweries
for quick handling of orders from the
retail drug trade. Druggists who al¬
ready have permits to sell. alcoholic li¬
quors are not required to give any ad¬
ditional bonds or other guarantees un¬
der the new regulations.
Revenue officials announced that
druggists merely are required to place
their orders with established breweries
—those which have been operating
•since prohibition became effective, and
haxe operated their plants since then
to supply demands for so-called -non
aLoholic drinks, or cereal beverages.
Their process of manufacturing these
beverages is not different tT’Om making
real beer.
Buyers of medicinal beer xvill make
their purchases in case lots of twenty
four bottles each. Their doctors are au¬
thorized by the regulations approved
by Secretary Mellon to give a pre¬
scription as often as is deemed neces¬
sary to aid the recovery of the patient.
THE FIFTH RED ( ROSS ROLL CALL
Lest we forget, this is to call our at¬
tention to the approaching annual roll
call of the American Red Cross. This
is an organization which needs no ex¬
planation to our people. While a great
part of its work during the great xvar
xvas in comforting and assisting the
men in the military and naval service,
and their families, and it is today aid¬
ing disabled, ex-service men and their
families as no other organization is
doing, its work is by no means confin¬
ed to this field. It is art organization
which responds to the call of all who
are in n eed and comes to the relief of
th^^^HKessed ^^^3cry probable and suffering, that due to
pre^^^aepressed the
conditions of affairs,
that there may be calls for help from
people in our own county. It is un¬
necessary to argue that if suffering
should come to any of our people from
cold or hunger or sickness that some
measure of relief Ymist be afforded. Is
there any better way to provide against
ibis Ilian through the Red Cross? The
men at the head of the organization in
Nexvron county are good men and will
dispense the funds wisely and impar¬
tially. Only fifty cents of any contri¬
bution given will go to the general
headquarters, and the remainder will
remain with the local chapter.
The annual dues are one dollar, bur
gifts of five or ten dollars xvill be ac¬
cepted and appreciated. It is hoped
and expected that everyone who is in
a wdrthy position to do so will respond to this
cause. Your Red Cross mem¬
bership will help to strengthen the or¬
ganization. Your Red Cross member¬
ship dollar will help to make possible
the accomplishment of its duty.
"The union of all who love
in the service of all who suffer.”

NOAH REEKY PORTRAYS
BLOODTHIRSTY PIRATE
Noah B.ery, the xvell-known heavy
of the silent drama, has probably play¬
ed tiie pari of a villian more times
than any other actor in motion pic¬
tures. In “Diniy.” which xvill open an
engagement at the Lyric- Theatre on
Friday and Saturday, lie is said to have
the most bi.MKlthirsty role of his ca¬
reer. He has the part of “King"
Dorkh. an ex-pirate, a Malady hail
breed with just enough white blood in
him to make bis crafty. Most of bis
gang are half-breed Chinamen. These
Eurasians hang together, as neither
the whites nor tin 1 Chinese will asso¬
ciate with them. Dorkh. being a Malay
half-breed, can belong to none of the
Chinese tongs of San Francisco—so
he organizes one of his oxvn for him
self and his half-breed followers. Dorkh
kidnaps the daughter of a judge and
plans a terrible revenge for the sen¬
tence of liix son. The rescue of the girl,
Ruth Whitely. played hv Marjorie Daxv.
and the breaking up of Dorkh’s gang
of cut-throats as a result of the sleuth¬
ing of "Dinty" O'Sullivan are said to
constitute the most thrilling features
of the plot.
EXPRESS OFFICE GOES
TO MONROE DEPOT IN
THE NEAR FUTURE
Effective some time soon the Monroe
office of the American Railway Ex¬
press Company will lie located at the
Monroe depot and in charge of Agent
R. R. Jackson, of the Georgia and
Gainesville Midland Railways. 1
This action is taken by the Express
Company, and the railroad, which
share in the revenue, as a retrench¬
ment measure, upon the claim that it
is necessary to do so.
We itnderstand that similar steps
have been taken at Madison, Washing¬
ton and every other point upon the
Georgia Railroad.
The Tribune feels sure that the bus¬
iness of the express office will be given
the best possible attention by Agent
Jackson and his employees.—Walton

The fact that the Central of Georgia
