All women work; some in their
MONIES, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are

their daily bread.

Prohibition in South Carolina.

Prohibition was given a severe and
practical test in Edgefeld on Monday
last. Hundreds of colored people gath
cred here to celebrate their emancipa-
ton, as has been their custom fora mum,
Der of years. The order and deport-
ment was decidedly the best ever wit
messed in our town on such occasions
Even the most casual observer noticed
the very marked Improvement
Instead of five or six arrests, as here
tOfore, not one was made. Instead of
the police being increased by half a doz-
en- men, as has been necessary in the
past, one man was added, and it was
found that he was not needed. Instead
of dozens of drunken negroes being on
the streets only two men were seen
under the influence of liquor. Instead
of three or four hundred dollars being
spent for liquor, as was the case when
the dispensary was doing business, only
a small amount was thus wasted In
stead of great throng of farm hands
laying aside their work for the day to
come to town to drink and carouse,
fewer by hundreds quit their work for
Mondays celebration-Edgefield, S. c.,

AMATEURS IN COMIC OPERA.
Successful Production of "Pepita' by the
Neighborhood Club of West Medford.
Boston Evening Transcript, April 2oth.l

Neighborhood Club of West Medford.
Boston Evening Transcript, April 2oth.l
At the hall of the Neighborhood Club
at West Medford last evening an origi-
nal two-act comic opera, 'Pepita," was
presented by members of the club and
under its auspices for the first time on
any stage. The music is by Augustus
G. Knight of Boston and the libretto by
Philip A. Hutchins of West Medford.
The cast of characters was as follows:
Pedro. ....,......... ......'...J. walter Emery
Flllpa..'. ...'...'-''....... MIS-. LA 7. cox
Carlos ......... Norman A Arnold
Pepita ........ Viola Davenport
Henry Hepworth ........'.. -. Waldo Glidden
Jane Hepworth. Margherita Sargent
Wilson...... ........ ...... William j. Havner
Romero ..........A Arthur T. Hatch
The scene is laid in Mexico, and the
plot deals with the adventures of an
American millionaire and his sister,
who is abducted for ransom purposes.
Her captor, smuggler, falls in love
with her and claims her in lieu of
money. The American succumbs to
the charms of the innkeeper's daugh-
ter, and, of course, Carlos, the outlaw,
finds sweetheart in Pepita. Inciden-
tai to the second act Miss Genevieve
Huff gave graceful Spanish dance.
Despite the conventional and we'll
worn story developed in a conventional
way, there is much to be commended in
"Pepita," whether or not it is consider
ed as the work of amateurs. The music
is tuneful, full of color and not remi-
niscent of the professional stage. 1t
has the atmosphere of the country and
the theme: the warmth and the indo-
lence OF Mexico and the charm, with a
touch here and there of the American
spirit in contrast. 1t has the merit,
while pleasing, of stimulating a desire
for more, rather than of falling short
il too ambitious effort. Some of the
numbers, the Muleteer, the Silent Moon
and Sweetheart songs, were particular
ly charming. The libretto is up to date
and original, and many of the quips are
very bright. The cast showed evidence
of careful selection, the voices of sever
al of the principals being of a quality
not often heard on the amateur stage.
The action moves quickly and there was
an absence of stiffness. Each and all
seemed to be in the spirit of the scene
and to enjoy it thoroughly. The chorus,
usually the weak point in such produc-
tions was one of the strongest, and in
dividually and collectively contributed
much to the success of the whole. The
dancing and groupings were graceful,
and the stage settings, the latter de-
signed by Mr.. H. W. Huff, appropriate
and beautiful. Altogether "Pepita"
was most successful effort, and the
large audience was thoroughly appre-
ciative. The performance will be re-
peated this and Saturday evenings.

"Of course, am aware that there are
two things of which the soldiers COM
plain, the bil-of-fare and the ward sys-
tenn of sleeping. The food is the result
of careful consideration, and while not
especially rich in quality, is sufficiently
varied and nutritious to satisfy as a
rule, and at the same time preserve the
healthful condition of the camp. In a
colony as large as this health is great
factor, and thoroughly up-to date
hospital is at all times maintained |
know full well that the soldiers would
be glad to substitute the open-ward
system for individual rooms or sleeping
chambers. This, | think, would be i'm
practicable for so many people, as it
would involve a great cost, and much
additional supervision. | am not so
sure, however, as the soldiers decrease
in number, that this plan will not come
eventually.

the same passions, desires, hopes, fears,
inclinations and dispositions of other
people, and are most congenial, accom-
modating, sympathetic and responsive

The Patent Medicine Ruling.

By recent ruling of the internal
revenue department, all druggists or
other storekeepers who sell patent me-
dicines containing certain percent
age of alcohol must pay the special re-
tail liquor dealers tax, s25 year, says
the Biddeford (Me.) Record. This rul-
ing went into effect April 1st. BY this
ruling one of the most effective teeth
of Names prohibitory law is extracted.
The payment of the special revenue
tax can be no longer construed to be
prima face evidence of intent to VIC
late the Maine law. The keeping for
sale of any one of the many patent me
icines which contain the stated per-
centage of alcohol will be warrant
enough for the holding of the special
license, and that same license will pro-
tect those actually engaged in the sale
of liquor from federal Interference

THoMASTON'S CHIEF OF POLICE.
His Services in Waldo County.

Chief of Police Peabody now appears out
in uniform. Mr.. Peabody has done police
duty for over thirty years and is conceded
to be one of the most able officials IN this
part of the State. Chief Peabody is not
only fitted for police duty but also has
great deal OF detective ability. His record
of a few years ago in stamping out the
''tramp graft in Waldo county after the
officials had tried in vain to cope with this
illegal expense which was sapping the
county treasury won for him fame Mr..
Pea body, who was at that time ON the police
force in this town, told the officials of
Waldo county that he could stop the tramp
traffic. and i'll consequence he was EN-
ployed to do the job. Disguised as
"Weary Willie" he started for the scene of
action and for three days and nights he
tramped over rough roads, slept in cold
sheds or barns and subsisted on the meagre
fare which was handed out by the "Officers
OF Graft to the 0-as-you-please "knightS
of the Road or members of the "Snns of
Rest" Mr.. Peabody was finally snapped
up by, an officer, to whom he named his
price for 'taking him in" and the following
day appeared in custody of the officer,
prisoner or tramp, but in name cnly He
had not been slow, however, for in the
meantime he had trapped the officer by
producing evidence that the Waldo county
officers had been pulling in so called tramps
for price, the county having mad to foot
the bills. This evidence snfficed the
officials soon found that it was all up with
them and the traffic ceased. W aldo county
was saved thousands of dollars and Officer
Peabody of Thomaston had done the trick
for which he was reasonably paid and
warmly mmended.-Thomaston Herald.
Mr.. Peabody came here to work under
Sheriff S. G. Norton; and it IS mainly due
to the latter's efforts that the tramp traffic
was broken up. the county cleared from
debt and a surplus accumulated which was
later invested in the addition to the court

LAWNS AND BACK YARDS.


The following suggestions from a
Kansas newspaper are timely:
''Spring is upon us, and yard clean
ing is at hand. The dead grass and half
rotted leaves upon the lawn should be
raked off and burned. The grass will
grow and cover them, but they will
check its growth, and leave bare spots
which will present a bad appearance.
But it is the back yards and alleys that
need attention. The winters supply of
tin cans is scattered in back yards and
alleys and in many of these cans lie the
germs of disease. Ii you have ne
method of carting them Off to some
mudhole which they will help to fill,
then dig a hole in the back yard and
sink them. Cleanliness is a duty.
Gardens, vegetable or floral, plants and
fruit trees are Injuries, and require so
much time to keep them free from
weeds that their cultivation is not a
duty. But it is duty to keep down
weeds and thus preserve cleanliness.
The city foliage is liberal, its sidewalks
are in good condition and curbS and
guttering have been generously laid.
This is as far as the public authorities
can act They cannot compel beautiful
lawns, nor can they NEEDLE closely
with mans back yard unless COM
plant is made. 1t devolves upon each
Individual house occupant to do the
rest. Usually the owner of house
will protect his property from filth and
weeds, but frequently tenants do not
regard appearances enough. They for
get their duty to their neighbors, and
to the city at large, and will not beauti-
fly the grounds because they are renters,
and may not remain through the sea-
son. People who have houses to rent
sometimes forget that little care for
appearances will rent house or retain
a tenant

A Pen PICTURE OF PROSPECT.
[Gardiner Reporter-Journal.1

[Gardiner Reporter Journal
The town of Prospect, incorporated in
1894, was taken from Hancock county and
annexed to Waldo county in 1927. The
| name Prospect was given to it for its beau-
| tiful views. The town had its mining fever.
| like some other Maine towns, and great
hole was dug over at the Ferry, but for
get whether it was gold or silver they were
going to tind-it makes no difference The
stockholders all were going to be rich at
once, but after some time and considerable
expenditure they found they had as Il re-
| suit a hole in the ground
| A branch of the Penobscot river runs
through the town and tradition has it that
! Captain Kidd ''as he sailed, as he sailed, in
search OF hiding place for his ill-gotten
! gold, entered the South Branch and on its
shores buried his treasures. OF course
many people have at different times dug for
the treasure, always to be frightened away
by mysterious sounds. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that nothing has ever been
found.
In the eastern part of Prospect is Mt.
Heagan. 1t was named for one of the first
settlers, John Heagan, who lived on the
shore of South Branch and owned the
mountain which now bears his name. In
recent years an extensive quarry has been
opened on part of Mt Heagan, but on its
slopes are lovely fertile fields and mlgni-
fcent trees. La this mountain, or its name,
"Jack" Haagan has left an enduring monu-
ment.
A few years before the war of the r abel
lion the National gOvernm4n ant erected at
East Prospect fertilization constructed
of granite from Mount Waldo, This was
never finished although it cost about mil
lion dollars. 1t received the name of Fort
Knox, in honor of General Knox, who had
been SO large proprietor in this region.
