MRS. Ls1ToYNE IS GREAT.
Among Those Present" at Mont-
 gomery Theatre.

Among Those Present" at Mont gomery Theatre.
 A disappointing play and a great actress was the verdict of those who saw the pro- ductioh of Among Those Present." by Mrs. Sarah Cowell LeMoYne at the Mont Romsry theatre last night. There is nothing startlingly new fin Among Those Present." but Mrs. Le- Moyne threw nature into 1t and made 1t success.
 Actors can be without physical charms 1 and win their audiences, but tt is a rare thing that this is accomplished by an actress. It was no small compliment to Mrs. LeMoyne to conquer the critical au- dience of last night without the aid of heauty.
 Among Those Present. Is a stage edi- torial from the pen of a disciple of Henry Watterson. Modern New York society is gone after with vengeanc4 Some of the lines would do credit to the Ken tuclxian but trite sayings are apparent throughout the play. Some of the situa- lions are intense and the plot gives prom iae in the early part of the play to be something decidedly deeper than the or dinary. In the last act. however. it weakens and the finale is commonplace.
 A hig and representative Montgomery audience saw the performance and Mrs. LoMoyne was given repeated curtain calls after each act. The good name she had left in Montgomery with 'The Greatest Thing in the World" drew the audience and they were not disappointed.
 Mrs. LeMoyne's supporting jlayers fared badly. Their parts as well az their act ing did, not measure up to that of the truly great woman who headed the com pany. Still there were one or two clever persons besides the star in the cast.
 But what of the othsrs7 AArs LeMoyne was there. and one had paid ones money to see Mrs. LeMayne. Her naturalness. her grace, her boise and her remarkable eloewtionary power made her an attrac- ton by herself.
 Pity she has no better play than Among Those Present" Poor as 1t is she came near saving 1t.
 The production was adequately staged and left a good impression-due to Mrs LeMoyne

 The rules were suspended by prscti- cally unanimous vote. The ordinance was adopted by the same vote.
 When the result had been announced Alderman Eushton enauirsd if the pro-

 Alderman Rushton said that he did moi like the resolution and he would oppose it. The Council. he said, had aiready ta- ken action to secure the refunding of the city's bonded indebtedness at per cent. To pass the new ordinance Alder man Rushton said would invalidate the previous action of the Council. Alderman Kohn said that he would not be. member of the City Council of 1907

 "OfiiciaI notification of the sub-divis- Ion of the Fourth and Fifth divisions of the Seaboard Air Line into three divis- Ions. was received in Savannah yester- day. The new divisions will be as fol- lows:

 '"The change has been made necessary because of the increasing business of the Fourth and Fifth divisions and their very large extent compared with the other divisions of the road.

SOMETHING NEW AND NICE.
"cIerks' Union Cigar" Placed on the
Market Made at Gosser's Fac
tory-Prime Article.

The Clerks union of the city has
hit upon a novel and admirable way
OF placing its stamp of approval upon
the patronage of home enterprises
and at the same time bringing o
promptly before the minds of the peo-
pie the union itself. The union a
arranged with G. A. Gosser, who oper-
ates a thriving cigar factory in Las
Vegas, TO manufacture the Clerks
Union cigar. Cigars No. l, No. 2 and
No. , of this brand were presented to
the members of The Optic force last
night. The cigar is a long Havana
filler. 1t is prime. This was to be ex-
pected. Gosser makes nothing but
good cigars, and the clerks are deserv-
ing of the best. The price is reason
able. The clerks will smoke this choice
product, of course, and their influence
will no doubt result in making it the
most popular brand in the city. If they
boys start ou to double the product
of the factory they may be depended
upon to do it. Incidentally, it may be
mentioned that the clerks are doing
things these days. The union is made
up of as intelligent and progressive a
body of young men as any community
can boast. Now that they have or
ganized, their influence will be exerte6
toward the upbuilding of Las Vegas
| and all her interests. Three weeks OF
| existence.-A special cigar to foster

The cars bumped along on the ties, and
