A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given at Mum
sons hall, last week, was a decided
success in every way. The most pleas
ing feature was the original character
song by T. F. Butler, entitled, 1.-The
Guinea with the Goo-Goo Eyes," and
to say that he brought down the house
would not express it. His makeup
was perfect and the song all right. 1t
that the coming season Mr. Butler is
to travel with the Sig De Almo tent
show, but it is hoped that he will can
eel his engagement for it was upon
him that the ball cranks depended to
do the twirling this season. Every
reasonable inducement will be given
him to stay both by the management
and the public.

INTRODUCTORY
AS birthday number in holiday attire, having ' N adopted the more comedy style of the magazin

AS birthday number in holiday attire, having N adopted the comedy style of the magazine
 for this anniversary event, THE INDEPENDENT greets the friends and patrons, who have made this edition possible, and the stranger who would seek a home in the sunny southland among a hos pitable and progressive people
 April 22, 1901, natal day, and the nlencement of fifth year is marked by this mile stone, set like other monuments little late May it to correctly and adequately portray the re- sources of our section the advantages of our city, the industry of our people, and be the means of helping to turn the tide of immigration and direct the eyes of capital toward comparatively un- developed wealth of natural resources. Such is the purpose of this labor and the hope of the editor
 Though the brilliance of Southern spring time, the rhapsodic inspiration of the season. might urge on the pencil to overdrawn description, here there IS call for such exaggeration as is frequently resorted to, and 1t shall be our constant endeavor throughout this edition to be faithful to fact It may be the bright side of things, of, prospects and of hopes but optimism is healthful It breeds en- ergy and ambition that strive for and accomplish the reward 1t promises Our citizenship are an optimistic people; the bounty of rich soil the easi- ness of livelihood have made them so, and thus 1t Is in noWise strange that their confidence in the ultimate realization of our crimson future is supreme.
 In the period of five years this paper has chron- icled the progress of development, no boom of this city, rush of home-seekers into our county has been recorded nevertheless the improvements and advancement of each year have been marked They are manifest in cleared timber lands, now planted in cotton and corn, in more improved farms and in Newport in handsome brick buildings, paved streets and better walks Of these accomplishments would tel of the splendid opportunities yet open would we speak, that the magn6cence of our url- rolling wealth may be realized.
 The compiling of this magazine has been an ardu- task; the printing and distribution of book of 7ooo copies states of the North and East have exhausted the direct profts yet there Is generous payment in the belief of its future usefulness in duce the immigrant to cast his lot with us and to show the investor why this is desirable field. For the support of the good people of this city, county and section who have made possible the edition, THE INDEPENDENT is grateful and to them is dedi- cated the of its success.

MOST SENSATIONAL MEEiINa or
COUNCIL COMMITTEE CON.
SlDERING SUBJECT.

Philadelphia, June 14.-The most
sensational meeting ever held by a
committee of councils in this city took
place during the day when the commit
tee on street railways met to consider
ordinances repeating other ordinances
granting franchises to the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company.
The ordinances were passed over
the mayors veto and he demanded
their repeal. The claim was made by
the company that they had become
vested rights and could not be re-
pealed. The committee room was
packed with citizens and every speak
er who attempted to address the COM
mittee against the repeal was hooted
down. Chairman Upperman was I'm
able to control the crowd and Ser
geant-at-Arms Hills summoned squad
of reserve policemen, who succeeded
In restoring order. Confusion first
arose over a resolution offered by
Thomas J. Ryan, Democrat, referring
the repeating ordinances to the city
solicitor. Hoots and cat calls greeted
the reading Of the resolution and Mr..
Ryan, jumping to his feet, threatened
to ask for an adjournment if order was
not maintained.
After the arrival Of the police the
ordinances were referred to the city
solicitor and will be again taken up
at the next meeting of the committee.

that the issue now being decided is

Wisconsin Law Affects Old Line In.
surance Companies. -,
Madison, Wis, June 14.-The senate
has concurred in the bill of Commits
sioner Host to require old line "mu-
tuap life insurance companies to dis
tribute their surplus among policy
holders not less frequently than once
in five years.
This changes the law of 1871, which
Commissioner Host ruled required dis
tribution. The Equitable society re-
sisted his act and the supreme court
held that the law favored the COM
panies.
The legislature has now changed the
law so as to remove all doubt. This
law will affect the $40,000,O00 held by
various companies for policyholders in
Wisconsin and some $34S,000,000 in
the country at large.
Commissioner Host says it means, in
his opinion, that the companies will
change the plan of deferred dividend
policies everywhere and it will be the
greatest change that has ever taken
place in the life insurance world.
The senate passed bill. to restrict
suffrage after 1912. According to the
bill suffrage will then be allowed only
to persons who have taken out full
citizenship papers. The assembly
killed bill providing a board of ex-
aminers for architects: also bill to
