MacLean-TyIer,

The play of Coriolanus in which MT. MacLean and Miss Tyler will appear Thursday at the Jefferson has so seldom been seen upon the American stage that it is practically novelty to the majority of theatregoers. The public demands novelty but it requires something more than novelty to make a play and to say that Shakespeare supplies this something in a greater degree than any drama tist who ever lived, Is only to make trite and self evident assertion. Coriolanus will however, seem strangely familiar to many of us because of the old proverb that history repeats itself" We find themes in political life represented that have their counterpart in the present de- velopment of American thought and ac- tion On this account the drama seems quite in touch with matters of deep inter- est today.

Washington, February 1.-The report of the board of high ranking officers. headed by Lieutenant General Miles, which considered the question of army post was made public at the War De- partment today.
 The board recommended the establish ment of the following new posts:
 One for a regiment of infantry in the vicinity of Los Angeles Cal
 One for a regiment of cavalry on the camp site on the Nacimiento ranch. One for a regiment of infantry in the vicinity of Albuquerque.
 C,ie for a regiment of infantry at Gov cfnnr's Island, New York harbor, New York
 'r.c for a regiment of infantry in the NieiGliiy of Washington D. C., north of t,c Potomac river.
 s'ne for a battalion of infantry in the Iss1 River valley in the vicinity of Crook etor. Minn.
 One for regiment of infantry on the camp site in the Conawago Valley, Penn, when practical.
 The sites recommended for the four per manent camps are:
 One in the vicinity of Chickamauga Park. Ga
 One at Fort Riley, Kan.
 One in the Conowago valley, Lebanon, Paphin and Lancaster Counties Penn sylvania.
 One on the Nacimiento ranch in Mon terey and San Louis Obisco Counties, California.
 The board recommends that the neces- sary surveys be made of the Nacimiento ranch and the Conogowa valley.
 No less important than the creation of new posts and camps, was the duty as signed to the board of indicating which of the existing posts might be discontin- ued, and also how the accommodations of the posts might be changed for the bet ter The board had solved these ques- tions by submitting a ta3le which, while 1t does not indicate any existing post for immediate abandonment designates a number of such posts as temporary. - indicating that they are to be eliminated gradually from the list of army ports. The board says that its recommenda- tions are based on a total force of 50- poo men, infantry, cavalry and field ar tillery

with distended ears, and mouth as

The Contest for Raw Tobacco.
New Berne Journal.

New Berne Journal.
The tobacco farmer this wear has
practically only himself to look to
for good results from his tobacco
crop.
That is, witk careful planting.
favorable weather for growing and
attention given to tho tobacco's culti-
vation. to end with special attention,
in curing, the matter of good prices
and demand for the tobacco need not
enter'in as disturbing factor in the
tobacco farmers calculations.
The fear of tobacco trust, of a
single trust which can dictate the
amount of tobacco to be bought of
the farmer, and thus name the price
at which the farmer must sell, is alb
sent this year.
The American Tobacco Company
this year has rival in the North
Carolina tobacco market in the shape
Of the Imperial Tobacco Company, an
English concern, which proposes to
be keen competitor for the raw
product grown by the tobacco
farmer
The fact of the American and Eng
lish Tobacco Companies fighting in
the market over the consumer, who
is to buy their finished product, is
not so important in its benefits, as is
this contest Of these companies over
the raw product which means every
thing to the tobacco farmer.
When as sellers, it is understood
that these companies are selling
cigarettes and smoking tobacco manu-
featured from the American product
in countries which a few years ago
knew nothing of these goods, and
that Virginia and the Carolinas fur
nish seven tenths Of this raw product,
the importance Of the situation is
seen.
With a good tobacco crop this year
it means that the esta blished tobacco
markets will handle increased
amounts of the raw product.
And with the competition of these
two companies. with their buyers in
every market, it means that the
farmer raising tobacco will find q
ready market for his tobacco, and
realize better prices for it than he has
received in many years.

had been in state of eruption and
ominous growls were heard from the
gigantic mass. Ten days was abund-

they remained about their work and
with light heart awaited the awful
moment when the mountain should
rend its sides carrying death and de-

ATWATER AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

who might run as an Independent

By his candidacy now he is asking
the Democrats of this district to treat
Mr.. Pou Just as he blames them for

then that he ought to be nominated

FORT DE FRANCE, MARTINIQUE, May
21.-Another day Of terror and panic
has bean spent by the people of Mar
Unique.
They fear a repetition Of yester-
days terrors, when for six hours Port
de France was literally bonn barded by
Mount Pelee. Stones, many of them
red hot, rained upon the city from the
clouds. Houses were destroyed and
fires started in many quarters. With
the stones fell hot mud and ashes
The air was 50 filled with volcanic
dust that it was barely possible to
breathe. At times it seemed as if
sufTOcation must be the fate of all who
could not be taken on board the ships
in the harbor.
Now that tho people have had some
time to think it over, they agree that
the eruption was far worse than that
Of May s, when St. Pierre was de-
stroyed. For many hours the expio-
sions were 80 heavy that it seemed as
if the island would be shaken from
its foundations. Down upon the
ruins of St. Pierre fell great boulders,
all red hot. that battered what was
left Of the unfortunate city beyond all
semblance of its former self. Ashes
fell in torrents, and the site of the
city resembles a great gray plain.
MAD RUSH TO ESCAPE.
Thousands left Fort de France to-
day. Some have gone into the noun
| tains, to almost certain starvation,
preferring that to the fate which
| would be theirs if the lava Of Mount
Pelee buried them in the ruins of the
city. Others have gone to nearby
| islands, there to depend upon the
charity of strangers.
Every ship in the harbor is con-
| stantly crowded with those who
would flee at the next appearance of
great danger. Clustered about the
ships are small boats filled with ma
tives, who beg to be taken on board.
Hundreds finding it impossible to OBJ
| tain boats to take them out to the
| ships, swan out, risking their lives
in the water to avoid the danger
| which fills them with more terrible
| dread.
