The Singin SkuIc Bcginment.

Under the auspices of the United
United Daughters of the Confederacy
and for the benefit of the monument
fund the Singin Skulc Beginment, a
n act comedy, was held at the opera
house last Tuesday night. The per-
Torrance was witnessed by about the
largest audience ever assembled in the
city play house. And judging from the
applause the play was passably enjoy
able.
Mrs. 7. NJ. Billingslcy, of Tennessee,
under whose direction the work was
done, is quite accomplished in this line,
and she is herself a good actress. Her
facial expressions were especially good.
AS a whole the show was not very good,
although many individual parts were
well carried. Little Miss Theresa
Schayer, as Angelina ~Turvcydrop, was
among the best, being Il pretty dancer
and having a good voice.
Miss Gertrude Wright as Charity
pumpkins was especially pleasing in
her coon soons. Miss Resale Franks
made an excellent bad girl, while Mr..
Gus Simmons, whose costume was un-
usually striking, pleased the audience.
There were many others who deserve
equal praise. But the chief attraction
of the play was the costume.

WHEN SHALL WE THREE MEET
AGAIN ?"

Labor day was deliberately celeOra-
ted AT Richmond and was unique in
one Of It's feature in that the three as
prants for gubernatorial honors,
Messrs. Stuart, Mann and Tucker
met and spoke from the same plat
form. Having been invited some
weeks i'm advance 10 be present they
went well armed for the fray and the
two first named gentlemen, Messrs.
stuart and Mann delivered carefully
prepared addresses well suited % the
occasion, but when il came 10 MI.
fuckers time he had 10 confess that
while travelling on the train from his
home at Lexington and sitting by an
open window, evidently familariling
himself with the speech he had to
deliver, a sudden gust of wind snatch
ed the precious manuscript from him
and hurled il out into space. His only
explanation of the untOward accident
was that Good moves i'm mysterious
way his wonders Ia PERFORM and i'm
our opinion the onhand effort was
was more acceptable 10 an holiday au-
dience than the prepared effort would
have been. The unrestrained humor
Of the speaker asserted itself and
touched responsive chords i'm the
hearts of those who heard him.
"When shall We three meet again ?'
Not on Inauguration day we are quite
assured. After the ceremonies Of the
day closed each of the distinguished
Nirginians were asked Of the political
outlook, snd each in turn expressed
great confidence in the election Of Mr..
Bryan and equal good fortune that
awaited them. We agree with them
that Mr.. Bryan is sure Of the prize.

mock ofthis hit-back process and in
Inmates that the people of that section
are more dependent upon the Baiti-
more Sun than is the Baltimore sun
upon them. Aud this IL in no sense
true The fact is Richmond should
supply the Valley readers a. we'll ar
all the newspaper readers of Virginia
with the daily news Of the world, and
at the same with such political food
as they may safely feed on. Nine
tenths Of the patrons of the Baltimore
sun are Democrats not only from prin-
ciple but from sense of protection
aga inst dense ignorance and diabOlical
hate and To fling daily insults into
their faces is despicable and mean.
This same sun has recently been
warmly welcoming Southern mer-
chants within the gates Of Baltimore

est Of both races and publish their
replies.
The News Leader to the contrary,
the Virginia readers of the Baltimore
sun should no longer read the paper
snd the Democrats of Baltimore should
hurry zap and give TO the citizens of
Baltimore and of the State of Maryland
morning paper Democratic from

RANK DEPOSITS AGAIN

Guaranteed banks may not be the
most important question involved
in the present canvass, but it strikes
as As being one Of the most important
and therefore We recur to it again.
And as no one has presented the
claims of the depOsitors with anything
apprOximailng the clearness and
force Of Mr.. Bryan in his mastery
speech on the subject we simply re-
produce some of the most salient
points of that impregrable argument
If the Government, the States and the
banks themselves require security
why should not the depositors
Mr.. Taft abandons opposition when
he favors postal savings bank, which
Is nothing more nor less than a gov
eminent guarantee. fthen, it is wise
to give absolute protection 10 some de
pOsitors why not extend It TO all de
positors?
"Distrust and distrusi alone, can ex-
plain the hiding Of money" Money
should not be secretly stored away
and 10 protect il remove all fear Of loss
lift is brought to light.
The increase in money orders is
enormous, all all because the Govern
ment is pledged to their payment.
Directors will not give their personal
notes to secure deposits, and yet they
ask depOsitOrs to take risks they are
not themselves willing to assume.
Oklahoma experiments demonstrate
that depositors prefer secured to I'M
secured banks. In that State in the
recent past the secured banks have in
creased their deposits -, 237 ,26j.22,
aud the unsecured banks have lost in
deposits - ,lOl ,S07.sG. One of the Sc
cured banks Of that State failed recent
ly and in As minutes after the notice
of failure the officer in charge had au-
thOriiy 10 pay all depOsitors in full,
and 1t is said that the farmers who re-
ceived notice Of the failure sent word
that they were busy with their crops
and would "come in in a day OF two. -
But for the reason Of security they
would have rushed in as men run 10
fire.
1t is urged in opposition TO the guar
antee that it would encourage reckless
banking and that the zig banks would
enjoy no advantage over the little
bank. 80 far rs protection to depos-
itOrs is concerned the big bank should
enjoy no advantage over the little
bank, and rs TO encouraging reckless
banking ii should do just the reverse
The fact that the Government guar /
antees the deposits in no wise shields /
the officials Of the bank from criminal /
prosecution, and where so many are
concerned a TO their right conduct
friends could not protect them from
punishment when they 90 wrong
Really there is but one side TO this
question and there is no need TO dis
cusS it further Banks and dcpositors
would alike be benencaries under
the change, the 10000 banks i'm the
country and the 100000 erositors.

The reason the Republican don't like

promises is only equal by readiness to

he carelessly left 1t in his berth ali
honest porter returned it TO him, and
as a return Mr. Bryan did hand him
