CHARLEY'S AUNT.
The Funny Farce Will be Presented
by Local Talent on November
18th and 10th,


18th and 10Th.
.Charley's Auntis known through
rout the civilized world as one Of
the funniest farces ever written,
and it deserves its we'll earned
reputation. It is certainly funny
thing and is not a repetition of
daughters, but one long laughfrom
start to finish. It is an attraction
that is guaranteed. It is almost
too well known to need a lengthy
description, butt runs about in
this way: Jack Chesney and
Charley Wykeham are inlove with
Miss Kitty Verdam and Amy
Spettigue. Charley's aunt has
just notified her nephew that she
will visit him, and he invites the
ladies to meet her at Jack Ches-
ney's rooms. In the meantime
another message states the aunt
cannot come. This places the
boys in a predicament, and Lord
fancourt Babberly, who is to take
part in a private theatrical, shows
his friends his costume, he taking
the part of an old women. Jack
:sees an avenue of escape and at
once with Charley's assistance gets
"Babbs" to play Charley's aunt.
The girls come to make the visit
and at once fall in love with Babbs.
whom they believe to be the real
aunt. They embrace and kiss
Babbs, to the great anger of their
sweethearts. Old Spettigue be-
lieving Babbs to be the real Donna
Lucia DeAlvadorez, a Brazilian
millionaire, falls in love with her,
as does Jacks father. Spettigue
is accepted and old Chesney is re-
fused, the scenes being among the
funniest ever played before an
audience. To make troubles
worse, the real aunt, whohas again
changed her mind, appears on the
scene, giving her name as Mrs.
Beverly ; Smythe. Deeper and
deeper in the mire the whole cast
is getting. Babbs' sweetheart al
SO comes on the scene, and not
recognizing the made up aunt as
her lover, tells him her story of

MALARIA.

Toe people who live in low. swampy countries seem to taks 1t for granted that Malaria. Fevers and Ague are necessary evils. They apparently do not realize that these diseases are slowly but surely sapping their general vitality. These i'm termittent levers. malaria. fever and ague. swamp fever. jungle fever. etc, are the most persistent enemies of the hu- man race, If the aggregate of harm they do could be realized. they would be fought as plaques.
 These diseases are the result of weax- ness. of poisoned, microbial blood, and it was long ago demonstrated that pr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic was an absolute specific; a sure cure. It has been conQuering and preventing these diseases for nearly half century. It purlties the blood and drives out the poisons.
 It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the insects which infest new coun- tries and low. swampy localities are ve- hicles for carrying disease germs. If your blood Is pure and healthy you need have little fear of these. But If your blood is bad it Is not in condition to re- sist the poisonous stngs. and as q re- suit the germs of disease obtain a foot ing.
 Protect yourself by using Dr. HartePs Iron Tonic It will not only drive out but keep out malaria and other levers of like kind. It has dcne it in so many thousands Uf cases that you cannot doubt.

FLORENCE DOES NOT
 FAVOR FREE PASSES

Florence, July 1S.-(Special.)-In re- gard to the question of free passes fol State officials. Dr. J. s. Conner said Public officials should not accept passes and should not place themselves under obligations to railroads or cor porations."
 Hon. Paul Hodges, lawyer-All off cials. State. county and city should be prohibited from accepting passes. All public officials should be under obli- gations to no one and should be iu po- sition to act fairly and impartially on all questions that might come up. Pub lie office is a public trust, and off. cials should accept no favors from a corporation or railroad.
 R. L. Bliss, President of the First National Bank, a cotton dealer and d member of the City Council-As a gen. eral rule all State officials who have public business to look after or public questions to decide should not accept passes from railroads or favors from corporations, as they have questions to decide which might compromise or em- barrass them in making decisions.
 N. c. Fling. Cashier of the First National and President of the Florence Land Company-If I were a public off cial should not accept a pass. I think law prohibiting the use of passes by public officials a good one. Such law is successfully in operation in New York and other States.
 A dozen business and professional men were approached on the subject. and with one exception they favored law prohibiting the use of passes by officials

CONVENTIONS ACTION
 GENERALLY CONDEMNED.

Centerville, July 1S.-(Special. )-The
 Iction of the Constitutional Convention yesterday on the question of official passes is generally condemned by the people here. It is said by some to be travesty on justices In an interview. Hon. s. p. Logan said the vote of the Constitutional ConVention on the free pass question, if permitted to stand. will cause many of the best people to vote against the whole Constitution when submitted. It has been generally talked for the last twenty years, said he. that for an officer to have a free pass over the railroads of the State and then be permitted to decide matters between the said railroad and the peo- pie, was a great and growing evil. The people looked to the Convention for a correction of this evil, and now that the Convention has placed itself in fla vor of free passes. the people will place themselves against any Constitution the Convention may make. A free pass should not be permitted to any State or county officer. The office should be, if this is violated, forfeited. It should also apply to petit jurors
 Many are of the same opinion and favor making it felony to the corpo- ration offering the pass and the State or county official acceptin git.

THE SENTIMENT IS
 AGAINST THE SYSTEM

Soottsboro July ls.-(Special)-A num- interviewed today in regard to the action of the Constitutional Convention on the official pass question. Hon. Virgil Boul- din. when interviewed, said the present provision of the Constitution as to the granting of free passes to officials Is not self-executing and does not directly inn pose upon the General Assembly the duty of passing laws to make 1t effective. so to readopt the same provision can only be construed as ratification of the present practice of the railroads in ignoring it's provisions. It would be better to omit the section entirely than to make such pre- tense of stopping the evil If the conven- tion thinks proper to leave to the Legis- lature the enactment of laws to make it effective, the section should at least be made mandatory upon the General As sembly so as to find the conscience of the members by the oath to support the Constitution.

JUDE A. M. AYERS SAYS IT IS MERE BRIBERY

Guntersville. July 1S.-(Special)-The actions so far of the Constitutional Convention have met with general dis favor in this community. Those who have read the reports published say they are opposed to most of the meas ures introduced. A. M. Ayers. Judge of Probate. when asked his opinion, said:
 '1 regard the issuance of free passes as species of bribery. and think some action should be taken so that the present condition can be changed believe it would be a good idea to abolish the Chancery Court. I have no particular objection to the present ju- diciarv system. but think some changes
 would be good. I don't like the idea of another Appellate Court"
 John A. Lusk said:
 T think the action of the Convention in regard to free passes is disgusting to any sensible man and that some stringent action should be taken. am not in favor of any intermediate Ap- pellate Court. I believe the Chancery Court should be aholisheA and that so. licitors should be alected by the peo- ple."
 p. O. Neely said'
 "T would not want to accept a pass if I were an official. I don't think 1t is right. and it ought to be stopped"
