IT'S BRIGHTER THAN ALABAMA
Arizona One of the Gre attest of Ameri
can Plays.

The presentation of ARIZONA at
the opera house on Wednesday night
next will be hailed with delight by
Americas play-goers who appreciate
plays of such high order of merit.
The piece is as full of bright color
contrasts as the changing combina-
tlons of kaleidoscope 1t fairly
pulses with fresh, vigorous life of the
young West. 1t has a love story as
tender and almost as tragic as that of
"Romeo and Juliet" and it has re-
lief work of humor as ripe and unc-
tious as that in which Mr.. Thomas has
previously shown us in Alabama
and SIN Mizzoura." When the critics
have said of "Arizona" that it is bet
ter than alabama" they have said all
that they very we'll could say in praise
of an American play.

BAD NEGRO IS STILL AT LARGE
Nothing Heard of Attempted Slayer
of Kelly.

The Times Recorders story yester-
day of the outrageous shooting, by an
unknown negro, of Mr.. Lee Kelly and
Mike Tigner, colored, aroused interest
and indignation here. The last reports
concerning Mr.. Kelly's condition were
to the effect that he was getting along
very we'll, and both he and Tigner will
recover. The black desperate who,
without cause or provocation shot them
down in the road, is still at large
though the officers hope to effect his
capture. Mr.. Kelly, while he does not
know the name of his murderous as.
sailant, can furnish good description
of him and he will hardly escape arrest.

calling for the actual stock OF the Sea-

The fact that the holders of the Sea-

In case the SeabOard is formally

WOULD BE NO PROBLEM

From the Savannah News.
If all the negroes wereslike William
Huckaby of Terrell county, who died
a few days ago and was buried with
honors that were paid by whites and
black alike, white men acting as his
pallbearers, there would be no negro
problem. He was honest,and industri-
Gus and thrifty. He was respected by
his own people and the whites. He had
done nothing TO incur any other feel
ing save respect. When the race of the
negro who thinks more of his peoples
alleged wrongs than he does of work
ing for the maintenance of himself and
his family, aud who spends more time
in discussing his woes than he does IN
attending to his daily work, is run he
can receive no such honors from one
race or the other as were accorded
Huckaby.
