POLI's NEW THEATER.
Miss Crawford Making Great Impress
 sion as Outlet"

The Poll Stock company is playing to capacity houses in Romeo and Juliet this week and deseryedly so 1t has been a long time since Shakespoare's masterpiece in tragedy has been seen here, and on the few occasions that 1t has, 1t has not been put on by stock company. Generally stock companies do not attempt shakespearel roles. 1t being considered too difficult, but the Foil company proves it's superiority over the average one, in attempting and making such success of the play in question. The part of Juliet is the first one that Miss Crawford has had ir which she could show her real abil-
 ty, She plays Juliet and her Juliet is an original one, in some respects, but in every way her interpretation of the part is a pleasing one. While the work of the other members of the company is excellent everything centers about her.

IDLE COLD IN BANKS.
Plan Proposed In Parliament for Deal-
 ing With Unclaimed Millions.

\ The house of commons gave first Feading yesterday to Mir. Bottomleys bill to make banks give return to the state of unclaimed balances and valu- aples which have been undisturbed In their possession for six years or more and hand them over to the public trus- tee.
 The object he said, lis to bring into the possession and control of the state the vast amount of wealth which Is at present lying dormant and entire ly unproductive in the vaults and strong rooms of the various banking in- stitutions of the United Kingdom
 Banks would have to make a return of the money securities, jewelry, and plate which had been in their posses sion unclaimed for six years, and which Was the property of persons who had not operated their account turing that period. They would also have to &C., count to the state for all old bank notes reason to believe had by the efIluxon of time become obsolete
 The theory of the bill was that these banks had from various causes, deaths, removals abroad the extinction of fam flies, and the carelessness of testators accumulated vast sums and had been in the habit every six years of writ ing off these dormant balances.
 There is over million pounds to- day" said MT. Bottomley, "in the shape of unpaid dividends in the pos
 
 session of the joint stock banks
 "There was q Joint stock bank which few years ago had as customer an eccentric old lady who mad 2S,O0o pounds in the bank Once in every year she would drive up to the bank, ask fer the manager, draw a check for the nntire sum, count the notes, check the interest, and then pay 1t in again and disappear for another 12 months
 For seven years past that lady had not been seen. That 2SO00 pounds with It's accumulated interest was still wing in the bank. He could give the

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Report of Committee on Old Court
House-Wagon Yards-As to
Sewerage.

At the meeting OF the chamber ct
commerce on Friday evenin" the fol-
l"wing report was submitted by the
committee on old court house:
The committee on cid court house
beg to make the following report:
We had a netting with the county
supervisor and commissioners of the
county, the mayor and aldermen of
the town, and Senator Blease and
Representatives Alan Johnstone, E.
H. Aull, and d.. c. 7. Wyche being
present. After taking up and dis
cussing What was the best to be done
in reference to the old, court house,
it was agreed that the best and only
thing to do was to have a proposition
ready to submit to the democratic
convention which will be held some
time in May. As. the old court 1ouse
is the property Of the people Of the
city and. county Of Newberry, the
opinion is. that the only way it coul l
be disposed of for other purposes,
would be to submit to the democratic
convention and let the convention
submit it to the democratic voters Of
Newbtrry county at the next primary
election in August. We would rec
ommend that the chamber Of COM
merce appoint committee Of three
or five to prepare report to be sub
mitted TO the democratic convention
in May, outlining the purpose for
which the old court house could be
best used. We would suggest that
the committee be instructed to con-
fer with the mayor and Aldermen OF
the town of New1berry, and also with
the supervisor and county commls-
sioners and the representatives from
the county Of Newberry.
The matter Of a wagon yard was
discussed, and a report was submit
ted by Prof. W. K. Sigh, who stat
ed that the committee was unable to
find a place Of suitable size and rec
commended several small yards in va
rious places.
DR.. J. NJ. Kibler, chairman Of the
sewerage committee asked for a post
ponement Of his report until more
definite details as to cost could be
obtained.

Stops Runaway Team.

Policeman Thos. P. Adams on Fri
day last showed that not only
would he take scme chances in his
efforts to capture people who were
trying to run away. but that he would
also attempt to prevent horses and
mules from endangeriny lives and
property by running away. Mr..
Adams was standing near Glider &
Weeks store when he eyed run
away team coming toward him from
th., direction Of The Herald ami
News office. There were :hree mules
and a horse hite!l3d to a heavy Wa
CON. and the team was in a fast
gait. and one likely to do much
damage to vehicles and people.
The policeman went in to the
street and grabbed hold Of the sad
die mule as he came by him. The
horse and mules kept going, however,
pulling the officer along with them.
Mr.. Adams held on and finally stop
ped them near the court house. The
only damage done was breaking
down Of a wheel of another wagon.
The streets were crowded though and
had not the policeman held on to the
team some person might nave been
injured.
