KIPI|NG'S FINExSTORY
TOLD At .ORPREUM

In THE Light that Failed" Frank
Cooley and Gladys Kingsbury scored
distinct triumph last night at the Or
nheum. The theater was we'll filed,
for Kipling has many readers in Ho-
nolulu and for several weeks the
n, on,ised presentation of the dramatic
version of his greatest novel had peeh
nIeasurabfv anticipated. The story it
self is an unusually strong one, its sit
uations lending themselves spleIluiuls
n dramatic usage. The theme in the
main is pathetic, but the strain Oh
Kipling humSr and jollity running
throughout relieves the note OF sau-
ness.
Last nights performance showed
that the company now at the Orpheurn
is capable of high-class work, for me
Light that Failed" is unquestionapiy
the most difffeult play to present that
has vet been attempted here, and yet
il was given as artistic a presentation
as could have been asked for Mr'
Cooley. as Dick Heldar, the artist who
is stricken with blindness just as ne
finished a wonderful picture, proved
himself an actor of indisputable merit.

love scenes between the two were

COAST LINE WINS.
Decision Rendered Against the Rail-
road Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The ques-
ton whether a railroad company can
be compelled upon the order of a
State railroad commission to stop its
fast mail trains when engaged in in
terstate commerce was decided to-
day by the supreme court of the
United States in the negative in the
case of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road company VS.. the board of rail-
road commissioners ofSouth Carolina.
The suit arose in connection with an
effort on the part Of citizens of the
town of Latta, S. c., to secure the
stoppingoftwo such trainswhich daily
pass through the town upon being
tagged, and the commission ordered
that stops should be made whenever
the signal should be hoisted. The
railroad company resisted the ruling
as unreasonable.
The State supreme court decided
against the company and it imme-
diately appealed to the supreme court
of the United States with the result
that the relief sought was obtained.
The opinion of the court was deliver
ed by Justice Peckham and reversed
the decision of the South Carolina
court. The opinion held the order
of the commission to be an interfer-
ence with interstate commerce.

Dies by Electric Shock.

CAMDEN, Dec. 1O.-Wilbert Lang
lev, a white man about 20 years old,
was electrocuted here this afternoon
shortly before S o'clock. At the
time of the accident he was prepar-
ing to put some globes into line of
sockets hanging on wire in the Per-
sian theatre, a part of the Johnny
Jones' carnival now showing here.

that the deceased was acting without
authority when he undertook to ad-
just the wires. The proprietor of
the show said that he had picked the
man up about two weeks ago and
used him around the tent for various
purposes, but that he Cthe proprie-
tori always looked after the electri-
cal equipment. The proprietor stated
that he had just brought ladder to
adjust them himself and was in the
tent when he heard Langley scream.
He instinctively knew that there was
something wrong about the wires
and pulled them out with his hands
from the fuse blocks, but Langley
was dead. Hewas standing in wet
place and had hold of the bare sock
cts. Two men at the inquest testl-
fed that they knew Langley and that
he was from Lancaster county.

Employs New Tactics.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5-New tactics were
employed today by the Chicago Law
and Order league in it's attack on
Sunday saloons. Instead of collect
ing evidence merely, agents of the or
ganization sought for violations of
the law and then informed the police
man on the beat that the State law
was violated and that it was his duty
to arrest the alleged offender. Re-
fusal to act by the patrolman was
followed by warning that the league
would institute proceedings against
him for neglect of duty. The league
agents visited a number of saloons in
the west and central parts of the
city, but reported no violations of
law except at the one place. The
saloons visited included those of
Alderman John ]. Brennan and
Michael Kenna.

CHILD DIES OF BURNS.
Negro Boy in Union Burned While
Poking Fire.

UNION, Dec. 8.-As the result of
poking the fire with a stick while his
parents were away, a. little 4-year-
old colored boy was burned to death
six miles southeast of this city yester-
day.
The father, whose name is David
Jeter, son of the late Ephraim Jeter,
one of the most well-to-do and re-
spected colored men in Union county,
had gone to Mr.. w. D. Saror's new
mill at Santuck, and the mother had
gone out, so that her COWS might
Craze. AS the father was returning
home he heard screams and rushing
into the home was informed by his
5-year-old girl that her little brother
was burnt up. The distracted parent
on not seeing the child in the house
and hearing slight screams from the
direction of the wood, rushed there
and found the boy so horribly burn
ed that he died in a few minutes.

COTTON WAR IN SPARTANBURG.
Outside Buyers Compete with Local
Mills to Farmers Delight.

SPARTANBURG, Dec: 8.-Next to
the surprises caused by the shaking
up of the South Carolina Conference
by Bishop Morrison is the local ex-
citement caused by the cotton war IN
this city. 1t is certainly interesting
as we'll as amusing. The farmers
have an idea that they are getting
the most fun out of it. For years
buyers for the mills have monopoliz-
ed the cotton business here. Now
and then an export buyer would
come in, but he would not stay long
enough to get an office. Merchants
and farmers have discussed the situa-
ton, but they were helpless without
the co operation of exporters. The
market opened this fall under old
conditions. Each ginner was made a
buyer for a special mill and the price
was 'phoned regularly to him. There
was no use for the farmer to seek
another purchaser.
The price paid during the fall was
81 so to $3.50 below prices at Char
lotte, Gafney and Greer's. Some of
the farmers in Cherokee County
hauled their cottonto Gaffney. About
TIVE weeks ago Dunbar Bros. entered
the market. They bought few car
loads and the advanced price caused
the farmers to bring in their cotton.
A representative buyer for the mills
said he gave the Dunbars two days
to go out business. They did not 60
out, but continued to buy and ship.
Then they tried one of the usual plans
adopted to freeze out competition.
They would bid a few cents above
the price offered by the Dunbars.
Thus the fight is going on. Many
farmers yesterday sold to the Dun
bars, saying that they did not regard
an advance bid of 25 cents on the
bale as worth anything.
1t looked like old times when 40 to
so bales could be seen on the streets
at one time, and cotton rolled in at
sunrise and sunset. The merchants
are rejoiced on account of the new
life put in trade and the banks are
pleased that money is circulating,
but the farmers are the most delight
ed. The fight is Just now. getting
warm and interesting. The mill
buyers are backed by millions of
capital; the Dunbars, by the people.

SUPPOSED CASE OF RABIES.
Four People Bitten by Pet Dog in
Old Allendale.

FAIRFAX, Dec. 10.-Mr. and Mrs.
Sam G. Lawton and two of their
children, daughter and a son. were
bitten Sunday by a pet dog that is
thought to have been afflicted with
hydrophobia. They came here yes
terday afternoon from their home in
old Allendale and consulted DR.. w.
J. Young.
The dog, a small setter pup, was
killed and it's head was sent to At
lanta to be examined by specialists.
Mr.. Lawton and his family have
the deepest sympathy of their many
friends, and it is earnestly hoped
that the dog was not suffering from
rabies.
Henry Rily, the colored youth who
killed Iva Hopkins, a colored boy,
here some time ago, and made his
escape, was captured in Savannah
this morning, and Sheriff Creech has
been notified of the fact.

The famous merger suit against
the Southern Railway was brought
up in court in Columbia this week.
Attorney General Lyon represented
the State, while the railroad was rep
resented by several strong lawyers.
Mr.. Lyon argued strongly to dismiss
the present suit, in order that it
might be brought in different form,
and this was strenuously opposed by
the railroad attorneys. Judge Klugh
granted the motion to dismiss, and q
new suit will be brought.
