'sUnder Southern Skies's

The appearance OF Lottie Blair
Parker's delightful play "Uuder
Southern Skies is an event that
is looked forward to with ilrer-
est by cur theatre-goers. The
company is large, numbering
twenty three people. The scenery
is beautiful. everything used in
the production being carried by
the company. The costuming
is quaint aud pretty, in the fash
ion 1875, which is the period of
the play. A Halloween celebra-
ton is one cf the lively features
of The performance, and never
fails to delight an audience.
Beautiful Southern melodies are
introduced throughout the play
with great effect. The story is
both strong and interesting, and
is relieved by much comedy
"Under Southern Skies" is
one of the big successes of recent
wears and no one who enjoys a
hrstclass play presented in a first
class manner should fail to go to
the opera house on next Thurs
day night. Reserve seats now
selling. Prices IS to $1.oo.

Amateur Doctors,

There was an ominous stiffness in
the house as the great physician en-
tered and made his way to his pa
tents room. Hastily he made his
examination, his eyes showing the
deep sympathy he felt.
Madam" he said, II am indeed
sorry to see you in such condition
as this. What has happened? Have
you been run over by a motor carp
With infinite difficulty and OBJ
vious pain the patient reused her
self, and the white lips slowly
moved.
''No, DOCTOR" she moaned, "but I
tainted in church and was brought
to by some friends who have been
studying first aid to the injured" ;"
Then the great physician took
out his notebook and entered the
case in the every serious column

An old darky in Richmond once
experienced considerable difficulty
in securing the sum due him from a
prominent business man whose sta
Bile the negro had whitewashed.
One afternoon as the old darky
came painfully up the walk toward
the house the master thereof called
to him from the porch:
'What's the matter, Nose? Got

"No, sah," came in respectful
tones from Nose, S.I's got de bill

HOW THEY DlNED.
Methods Of the English at Table In
the Seventeenth Century.

y
The old English had three meals
day, of which the chief meal was
taken when the work of the day was
finished. The first meal was at 9
o'clock, dinner was about o'clock,
and supper was taken just before
bedtime. The Normans dined at
the old English breakfast time or a
little later and supped at z p. m.
In Tudor times the higher classes
dined at II and supped at 5 o'clock,
but the merchants seldom took
their meals before IL and 6 o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and sup
per, were taken in the hall both by
the old English and the Normans,
for he-parlor did not come into use
until the reign of Elizabeth. Break
fast did not become a regular meal
until quite lately, and DIR. Murray
in the Oxford Dictionary gave 1643
as the date of the earliest quota
ton in which the word occurred.
The meal did not become recog-
nized until late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys habitually took
his draft of half pint of Rhenish
wine pr a dram of strong waters in
place of a morning meal. Dinner
was always the great meal of the
day, and from the accession of Hen
ry ". to the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous
and extravagant as any of those
now served. y
Carving was then a fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife and
spoon, for the small fork was not
introduced into England until
Thomas Coryate of Odcombe pub
lished his SCrudities" in 1911.
Pepys took his spoon and fork with
him to the lord mayors feast in
1868. The absence of forks led to
much stress being laid upon the act
Of washing the hands both before
and after meals and to the rule
that the left hand alone should be
dipped into the common dish, the
right hand being occupied with the
knife.
The perfect dinner at the best
time Of English cookery consisted
of three courses, each complete in
itself, and terminated by a subtlety
or device, the whole being rounded
off with hippocras, after which the
guests retired into another room,
where pastry, sweetmeats and fruit
were served with the choicer wines.
The English were essentially meat
eaters, and it was not until the
time of the Commonwealth that
pudding attained its extraordinary
popularity. Indeed the first men
ton of pudding in the menus of
the buckfeast at St. BartholomeW's
hospital did not occur until 1910,
and in 1712 is an item of 5 shillings
for ice.-London Times.

What are the conditions
throughout the country to day?
All the factories, mills and indus
trial enterprises of the great
manufacturing districts are un-
usually prosperous and busy.
They have orders for their pro-
ducts which will require many
months of work to complete. In
numerous instances orders have
been refused simply because
there was no room for them.
Labor, both skilled and unskilled
was never so generally employed
and received a higher wage. i
The agricultur.st has a demand
at home and abroad for his sur
plus produces at prices he rare
ly, if ever before, has received.
But in the midst of our unpar-
alleled prosperity we have a
panic-not an industrial,
not a manufacturing, not a COM
merical, but money panic, and
that, too, when the amount of
money in the country is double
what it was a short time since.
The prime causes for this money
crisis-for it is more this than it
is a panic-are safeguarding,
wildcat banking and frenzied
speculation. Here are elements
no tariff law can control or was
ever designed to control. These
causes have worked under both
protective and free-trade condi-
tions, and when permitted to
work their ultimate results we
find the consequences invariably
are bankruptcies, impaired con-
fidence, acute crisis panics and
wide. spread disaster. The pres
ent trouble has not been permit
led to pass the crisis condition,
out has been turned back. This
mas not been possible because
here has been no suspension of
Industrial pursuits. The wage
continues his work and
receives his wages. While he
nay do so he does not need his
savings and willingly leaves
hem in>bank until the storm is
past. Any one who is not dense
y ignorant of our tariff history
must admit that if free-trade
we're enacted today, or even seri,
,usly threatened we should have
destruction Of credit, suspension
# business, lack of employment,
bankruptcy, disorder
md ruin.
This is not the opinion nor
pecious argument but is the
tern, cold, uncontrovertible
ecord of our history.
With this history in mind one
las no difficulty in recognizing
hat but for our wonderful indus I
rial development and prosper

On, we would now have the most
destructive panic the country
yer knew.

A~Un1cago7 company has made fc'::
S sawmill what is believed to be the
largest single leather belt in the
world. 1t is of pure oak bark
tanned leather, eighty-four inches
wide and three ply in thickness, and
weighsjust $500 pounds. The belt
is ia feet long. It took the centers
of the hides of 225 steers to make
it and each piece of this leather was
separately stretched before being
placed in the belt. A belt nearly
as large has been running for many
years at spinning mill in Ghent.

NOT PROPHETIC.

The recent elections held in
several states furnished little if
any indication what the strength
and line up of parties may be a
year hence. 1t is claimed the
result in New York will eliml-
nate w. R. Hearst from state
politics and forestall his efforts
to secure any influence in the COM
ing National Convention of the
democratic party. If this be
true the whole country and more
especially that party should be
well pleased because American
politics has not in recent years
if ever, produced a more danger
GUS and platant demagogue than
w. R. Hearst. Yet in face. of the
decisive republican majorities in
King county Hearst's defeat in
New York City is not a bow of
promise that the democrats shall
carry the state in 1908.
Had Hearst and his colnbina-
tion been defeated by some other
agencythan Tammanyit doubtless
would be of more certain benefit
to the democratic party. w. J.
Bryan may see some grains of
comfort in the result in New
York but scarcely enough to COM
pensate for the republican victory
in his own state.
The success of the republicans
in Kentucky is mainly ascribable
to the advocacy of prohibition by
the democrats. Part of it may
be the result Of a reaction of
feeling aroused by the Taylor
Goble fued. The result in New
Jersey is attributed to the at
titude Of the parties on prohibi-
tion. The republicans favored
this and suffereda partial defeat.
Maryland did not go so strong
ly democratic as to blast republi-
can hope of carrying the state
in the presidential contest next
year.
The chief cause for congratu-
lation is found in the triumph of
Taylor for mayor of San Fran
cisco and the success of the
movement there for good gov
ernment. No city ever needed
publication and thorough re-
novation more than this city. |
Even New York in the grasp
of Boss" Tweed and his CORN
GRANT following was but a mild
emption compared. with the
fetid, fostering corruption that
for long has effected San Fran
cisco. But the people have tri-
umphed. F. J. Heney contribu-
ted efficiently to the result and
the labor vote was almost solid |
for the cause Of good govern
ment.
This latter, while most gratify-
ing should cause no surprise.
Intelligent labor has a stake in
the country, is patriotic every
day of the year as on the fourth
of July and has never failed to
support the cause of good govern
ment.
The one thing of general ap-
plication taught by San Francis
co.'s election is that sober minded,
honest, patriotic men form the
in every American COM
When their conscience
is aroused and they are stirred to
action they can and will rurify
their civic ard social atmosphere

scribably foul. Corollary to this
is the fact that it is by and

neglect of plain duty that the
social and political air becomes
rank and foul,

There was a fire Wednesday after
noon that was not reported in the
papers and probably will not be re-
ported in the report which the chief of
the fire department will make to the
city government at the close of the
municipal year. 1t was still alarm"
to which Dick Williams responded with
the readiness of the born fireman. 1t
seems that John Day, captain Of the
Hook and Ladder Co, was driving by
on his jiSger, utterly unconscious that
he was the center of a cOnfagration.
There are various theories as to how
1t all happened, but all guessing aside,
John had been smoking. He knocked
the ashes out of his pipe, put the pipe
in his cost pocket, and then deposited
the coat on the seat of the jigger and
sat on it. Whatever rise of tempera-
ture there was. he doubtless attributed
to the hot weather, and accordingly he
was all unconscious of his predicament
when the watchful eyes of Williams
caught sight of the smoke which was
curling up beneath Capt. Day. Fire.!
Williams jumped for an extinguisher,
tipped it bottom upward ana the as
tonished Capt. John found himself the
center Of we'll directed spray of
sulphuric acid and soda water. He
was very thankful a moment later
when he surveyed the holes which had
been burned in his wearing apparel
and he vows that Dick Williams is the
hero of the Augusta fire department.
