AMATEUR ACTORS DO WELL
High School Pupils Present The Dea-
i~cs" a Comedy Drama Interesting
Specialties

With little more dash and en-
ergy the pupils of the high school
who presented The Deacon" at the
Opera House last might have been
taken for real play actors, as they
were all letter perfect in their parts
and everything went along smooth
ly. There is very little about the
play to suggest its name however;
a better name would have been
"The Troubles Of Pete" The
plot was along the usual lines, the
scheming villain, the wronged
wife. with "Pete" the darkey SER
want and the deacon as principal
comedy parts.
James Mobley played the deacon
very acceptably and his make up
was good; Albert Hendrix as
George Great was good, but his
enunclation at times was not clear.
Cecil Smith as Wheeler, the william
showed a good deal Of study Of the
part and acted it well. "Pete, "
the colored servant lost no oDpor-
tunity to be present at every per
formance of the others, and the
monkey shines he made made hit
with the house.
Annie Westbrook..m made a grace
full and womanly Mrs Thornton.
Maud Brown and Floy Scott, the
wife and daughter of the william
were both good their enunciation
being clear and distinct Eliza
beth Stivers, as the old maid,
Annie Hill a, the servant, Nellie
Laraabee as Helen we're all good
in their parts
The specialties were better than
have been seen ON the same stage
by professional companies. The
quartette composed of Willie
Brooks, James Mobley, Fred Means
and John Robinson had to come
back for several encores. Several
solos by different members and the
calisthenic drill with Indian Clubs
by three young ladies were alone
worth the price Of admission.
Two fair sized houses applauded
their efforts yesterday afternoo n
and evening and the management
is thinking Of taking the play for
short trip around the circuit.

The Gentry Bros. famous show
arrived in Chickasha over the Rock

Immediately the task of unloading
the long string of fiat, stock and
handsome sleeping cars commenced
Notwithstanding the early hour,
Col. NM. Williams Jim Pettyjohn,
Mac Bishop, Frank Brown. Charley
Fechheimer and ia big crowd OF
other days were on hand.
In less than an hour and half
from the time the first wagon reach
ed the tlot," the great tents were
spread, and the work Of preparing
for the big street parade was we'll
under way. The Gentry shows
have been doubled in size this year
by the consolidation of the two
biggest shows, and the addition of
several dozen beautiful tableau
wagons and cages, and when the
long line that formed the parade,
left the lot it was very impos ing
spectacle, and the finest Chickasha
| has ever seen.
Long before the doors were open
ed for the annual reception that the
animal actors give to the little folks
before each performance, great
crowds thronged the grounds,
waiting for the ticket wagon to
open.
Soon the big band began to play
in the inner tent, and good nat
tured scramble was made for seats.
Then came the grand entree"
with its dainty ponies, chattering
monkeys. stately camels, followed
by the wise old elephants, talking
in jungle language to themselves.
The first number of the program
was pretty tableau Of the nations,
by fifty highly educated ponies
as the ringmaster described it.
Each group Of ponies, decorated in
the national colors of the country
represented were ushered in, while
the band played the national hymn
Of that particular country.
There were countless other acts,
BY dogs, monkeys, cats, but the
big herd of elephants captured the
hearts of all present by their clever
antics. They played restaurant,
ran barber shop, and rendered
several selections on various musi-
cal instruments until the little folks
screamed with glee.
There was monkey fire depart.
ment, monkey hotel and every
thing imaginable and uhimaginable,
for the Gentry shows have eclipseds
everything in their line that has
visited Chickasha.
By far the best feature of the
whole show was the famous Okabe
Troupe Of Japanese Gymnasts and
jugglers, who PERFORMED seeming
ly impossible teats of skill and dar-
ing. The show ground is located
near the ball park. Tonight at
$3.50 o'clock anetber performance
will be given and at 7:3 0 O'Clock
the doors will be opend for amin al

HEYWARD COUNTY DEFEATED,
It Failed to Secure Two-Thirds
Vote in Aiken-The Campaign
Has Been Hard Fought.

After a hard fought campaign the
proposition to establish the county OF
Hayward from sections of Aiken and
Edgeficld counties was defeated Tues
day, the new county advocates fail
ing t osccure the necessary two-thirds
vote in Aiken County.
Since the election was ordered
meetings have been held in the new
county territory, at which speakers
addressed the voters for and against
the movement. During the campaign
the new county people attacked the
Hon. d. S. Henderson for his opposi-
ton to the new county, almost center
ing the fight upon him. The ola
county people were willing to have
Mr.. Henderson drawn into the fight,
believing his great personal popular
ity would have considerable influence
for the old county, and the result ap-
pears to sustain their belief.
1t was necessary for the new coun-
~ to secure vote of two TO one, but
they missed it by a good margin. The
total vote follows:
North Augusta: Yes $50, no 1S.
Hammond: Yes 81, no 7. Ellcnton:
Yes 20, no "a. Talatha: Yes 13, no
03. Sunny Side: Yes 10, no AZ. Sill
vcrton: Yes II, no 10.

TWICE A WEEK. 81. 80 A YEAR
TO PURGE ARMY OF NEGROES.
Texas Congressman Introduces Bill
Providing for the Discharge of all
Black Men.

Washington, December 4.-Rcprcs-
sentative Slayden, Of Texas, to-day
introduced a bill which provides that
con or before the 30th day of juno,
1907, all enlisted men of the army,
who are negroes, or Of negro descent,
shall be discharged from the service
of the United States, and thereafter
no negro, or person of negro descent,
shall be enlisted or appointed in the
army Of the United States"
In explaining his bill Mr.. Slayden
said:
"The bill speaks for itself. 1t was
not introduced for buncombc. My
purpose is to give the Congress of the
United States an opportunity to purge
the army Of al admittedly dangerous
element. TO say that the negroes are
brave is not an argument against this
measure. Many men have been brave;
in fact most men are in the matter Of
fighting. The Comanche and Sioux
Indians were as brave as men can be.
But no one would seriously suggest
that we ultimately recruit regiments
from them, put guns III their hands
and station them near companies Of
white troops, toward whom they enter
tain inherent race hostility. The 25th
infantry is manircstly imbucd with
The same race hostility and events
