Of reference so that such as may have
the desire or the inclination to write plays
and study the conditions of the stage,
can have access to them without appeal
ing to foreign sources for information. It
is a notorious fact that until the recent
past, many American authors and dra-
rnatists have been compelled to look to
European centers for authorities, histori-
cal and otherwise. to complete their work
in correct manner. Taken altogether, the
American dramatist and actor have had
a rocky path to help build up national
dramatic school which would be charac-
terlstic of the people. Yet they have been
wonderfully successful in competing with

Richmond has been the most profitable
house on Manager Leath's list for the
past three seasons. Norfolk is a close
second, while Newport News has always
been heavy loser. Charlotte is an ex-
cellent show town, and it is believed
that it will be ahead of Roanoke in the
profit column. Corbin Shields Is deter
mined to pull Newport News out of the
hole, and there is a very pretty three
cornered race between Newport News,
Roanoke and Charlotte for the record
making bonus. Portsmouth is not eNpect-
ed to do much this season, but it presents
an excellent field for good work, and has
a fair chance for the prize if it exceeds
sexpecta tons.

tion, his ability and his success, and
paid tribute to the government whose
honors are open to all who have the
courage, the industry and the merit to
win them. The church was crowded

had been so suddenly cut down, and
the man who, without a single rela-

WARES GOOD ROADS.
County Commissioners Giving Every
Assistance in Cause.

Waycross, Ga, Nov. 11-Since the
Good Roads" gang started to work
in Ware county last month about -four
miles of road has been completed, and
is now ready for inspection. This road
is between Waycross and Waresboro,
and is perfectly straight from the
Ware county court house to the post
offie at Waresboro
1t is the plans of the County Com
missioners since the good roads move
ment started here, to shorten distances
as much as possible, as well as make
perfect road beds. The new road
shortens the distance to Waresboro
more than mile, and gives a county
thoroughfare that will compare with
any in the state.
The commissioners contemplate
making all public roads in Ware coun-
ty equal if not superior to any in the
state. The graded part of the roads
will be thirty feet wide in all places
were there is no turnpiking. The
turnpikes will be twenty feet wide. An
improved grading machine has recent
ly been purchased and a traction en-
CINE and cars ordered, and it is the in
tention to clay the roads were it is
possible. At present there is a convict
gang, grading machine, stump puller
and roller at work on the Ware coun-
ty public roads.

NAVAL STORES MEN MEET.
Ihose Interested in the Merger In
Session at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 11.-Repre-
sentatives of the naval stores firms
recently merged into the Consolidated
Naval Stores Company are meeting in
Jacksonville to ratify the charter ana
to prepare for business on Jan. L
The meeting will probably be in ses-
sion for two days longer. Very little
information for the public was given
out, and the factors are in executive
session. Up to a late hour tonight
the election of officers had not been
reached, but it is understood the names
as previously announced will be con-
f1rmed. The principal business before
the meeting is the drawing up of by
laws and details connected with the
formal organization. j. B. Chestnut
of the firm of Chestnut & O'NeiH OF
Savannah has been in the city, prepar-
ing to open a branch business here and
10 enter the Florida field in opposition
to the combine. J. A. G.. Carson of
the J. p. Williams Company is also
here, and his visit is thought to have
significance in connection with the OPP
position interests.
