The Memories of Rose Eystinge.'
 Frederick A Stokes company. Novem- Der, 1905.
 "The Memories of Rose Eystinge.' is the actresss autobiography and is of in- terest not only to the dramatic profession and to the student of the American drama. but as well to the general reader upon the history. taste, feelings and personality of a most interestinr side of American life, says the publisher Rose Eytinge was in the heyday of her pop ularity during the Golden Age of the American drama. She was the associate and personal friend of Edwin Booth, J. w. and Lester Wallack. F. L. Davenport and Augustin Daly and knew and played with nearly all the greater lights of that interesting period. The author writes In her initial lines: .f understand why it is that stage folk, both men and women always think it d fine thing to decry stage life to the young man or woman who thinks of entering that life. They must know that their attempt at deprecia- ton is not just; that the life which they decrY Is good one.
 ''fhe stage brings pleasure and bright ness to many whose lines would be with out any influences more elevating than workadaY interests. It brings quick re- turns in recognition of talent and in a thousand ways makes apparent its su- pertoritY, as a Vocation.'
 Miss Eytinge has gathered a wealth of interesting anecdote in her volume, and in 1t she throws many new lights upon relationships little understood before. 1t Is most interestingly written and will no doubt be widely read

"The History of North America euS Carleton Lee. Ph D., of Johns Hopkins and Columbian universities, editor.
 Published by George Barrie x sons
 The present volume is the seventeenth in this series entitled, The History oi , North America" and is called "Ihe hlse of the New South" It is written by Phil lin Alexander Bruce, late corresponding secretary of the Virginia Historical so- ciety. The editor writes in the ntroduc- ton:
 "The author of the present volume IS ' a native of the south and in close touch with the tremendous advance that has excited well-nigh as great admiration as did the heroism of the south in the CIVIL war an active participant indeed, in the movement that had made the south of today, he is peculiarly fitted to write upon the subject assigned to him
 The work is presented in substantial binding with extra good paper and press work. The illustrations, too, are of gen uine interest and value to the text, In opening the volume upon The Rise of the New South the author writes first of the population and says
 When in 1876 the last federal soldier stationed in the south to overawe the white popula tion was withdrawn, that part of our common country immediately began to breathe freely again. During sixteen years 1t had been beset by enc mics, either as invading armies striving to conquer it. or as robbers seated in it's places of authority and contending like so many foul birds in the diversion of the small remaining spoil"
 1 Under this heading the author writes very fully of the changes in population and the influx of foreign born population in the south, and gives much authorta- tive in formation. Then chapters on Pro ducts of the Farm" Products of the Forest Products of the Mine Pro ducts of Hand and Machine etc, fol- i low with such an aggregation of valuable information and statistics that these his tories would, indeed, seem to be author itatve
 In the Growth of Southern Cities Birmingham has due notice. The author writes
 i aThe youngest but most remarkable of these cities is Birmingham. Though In i corporated in 1871, one house alone In lSi0 occupied the site of the town which at i that time, derived Its only importance from the fact that two railways crossed at this point. As the number of furnaces increased. house after house was built. until now the entire valley is cluster ! of villages and towns, which practically ! form one center of population.
 The author shows his wisdom and his 1 torc' sense by thus taking in the whole valley; for, no doubt, he knew that even while his work was in press-any figures i or limitations he might offer would be outgrown.
 Social Conditions" Is a chapter that is f,,ll of interest and written with splen- did valuation and discernment of condi- tions as they were and as they now are. A number of chapters are devoted i to the subject of "Education," that are replete with valuable information on all phases ow this important subject The 1 volume closes with General Summary i and an appendix of equal value.

AS to Coca Cola.

While We do not for moment
question the motive of Senator Will
Jams in introducing a bill that prac-
tically prohibits the sale of coca
cola in South Carolina, at the same
time We think that the legislature
should 60 slow about enacting such
a law. The coca cola people deny
that their product contains deleter-
ious drugs, and the burden of proof
rests OH those who would cripple or
destroy a flourishing Southern IN
dustry.
Moreover, there are hundreds who
have been drinking coca-cola since
its introduction several years ago,
and we have yet to hear of one who
became addicted to it any more than
to ginger-ale or other "soft drinks"
Why net start on cigarettes or coffee
and tea, whose bad effects are decid-
edly more apparent and far-reaching,
or even break lance against that
giant monopoly, the South Carolina
dispensary?
Of course if there are hurtful in
gradients in coca-cola It's sale should
be prohibited-not restricted by IL
cense. So say we all.
In desling with this bill We feel
confident that our intelligent and
liberal minded lawmakers will in
yestigate the matter fully before KILL
ing an industry that will materially
iniure numbers of men, who without
capital to engage in larger enter
prises are struggling to make an
honest living.
