man" last night in this city. resumed
the tour which was interrupted last
week by Mayor Weaver's action, in
Philadelphia Although the colored
ministers Of this city protested against
the presentation of the play. Mayor
Gerber would not Interfere. In an in
terview, he stated that he believed the
suppression Of the piece in Philadelphia
by Mayor Weaver was part of a poli-
tical game which he did not propose to
countenance in Reading. AS a result
of Mayor Gerber's attitude, the widely
discussed "Clansman" was presented
before the largest audience in the his
tory of the theatre. The play appar-
emily gave satisfaction to everybody
present.
There was no demonstration Of any
kind either inside or outside OF the
playhouse, and not the slightest dis
play Of any racial feeling throughout
the city on account of "The Clans
mans" visit.
George H. Brennan, the manager Of
"The Clansman," announced to-day
that he and Thomas Dixon, Jr., the au-
thor of the play, have commenced suits
for damages they sustained through
closing the play in Philadelphia They
will also petition the District Attorney
TO institute criminal proceedings
against the negro ministers in Philadel-
phia who signed the inhammatory cir
culars which collected the mob in front
of the Walnut Street Theatre. At the
conclusion of the performance, John ID.
Mishler, manager Of the Academy Of
Music, booked "The Clansman" for a
return engagement in December.

sincerely than he; no one who acts
according to his honest convictions
regardless of personal, political for
tunes so invariably; whose word is
more sincere or in whom more conf
dence can be placed at all times. He
is man of large public experience,
always striving for what he believes
to be the best interests of the greatest
number. We have nothing to say
against the character of his opponent,
but we do not believe he measures up
at all in craftsmanship with Manning.
The legislature will make or unmake
the dispensary-not the governor.
Hence, all things considered, the peo-
pie of the State ought not to hesitate
to make choice of a man like Man
ming. They know him, having tried
him. Ansel is more like an expert
ment. To be secure and certain of
the future Manning is the man to vote
for in the second primary.-Columbia

Death Of Mr.. Rion 7. Graham

It is not only sad, but hard to &C
tually realize that this young man
full of life and vigor is dead. About
three weeks ago he left here to accept
a lucrative position as lineman with
the Bell Telephone company at States
vile. N. c., but like the sweet flowers
that bloom with all their fragrance
they must fade, wither and die, so it
is with humanity. In the prime of
life, full of promise and a pride of
home and friends Rion has passed
away. Truly in the midst of life we
are in death, land we know not when
the hour cometh.''
Rion was about 81 years Of age and
was an Industrious young man and
had desire to accumulate something
for himself. He was popular and as
a friend he was faithful and true,
courteous and kind to everybody and
devoted to his folks at home. But
he is no more. He was suddenly
taken sick away from home, his
mother by his bed side, his father
arriving too late. All that possibly
could be done by tender hands and
friends was rendered, but alas, Satur-
day afternoon about o'clock scorch-
ing fever and jaundice proved too
much, when the summons came, and
now his body rests in cold grave in
the Catholic cemetery in Columbia.
The interment took place Monday at
II a. M, Rev. B. w. Fleming oficiat-
ing. Messrs. Edward Barre, Ed. G..
Dreher, Karl Oswald, Samuel Buckley,
Oscar Derrick, Heber Barre and Carl
Roof, of Lexington, and Porter Caugh-
man, of Columbia, were the pail bear
ers.
A number of friends from this place
and Columbia attended the funeral.
Col. Graham and his family have
the sympathy of our citizens in their
sad and sore bereavement and they
mingle tears of regret with them.

I had many of the symptoms Of hay

having Foley's Honey and Tar in the
yellow package, and it quickly cured me.
