ty, n. c., Kills Himself.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 30.-After
telling some of his friends that he

The Great White Plague.

At the International Tuberculosis
convention in Washington. Prof. lrv-
ing Fisher, of Yale, declared that
100000 people now living in the
United States are doomed to fill con-
sumptives' graves unless something

$4,000 deaths in this country an
nually from tuberculosis costs, in

er Burns on Girl.

Stirs Native Patriotism.

The author of "The Clansmans
may well adopt Fletcher of Saltount6
famous motto and say that he would
rather make a nations dramas than.
it's laws. One effect of this celebrated:
play, which will be presented next
Monday evening, October 18th, at the.
Folk opera house, has been to make
the South conscious Of its own great
ness! In the mirror Of the stage
men and women of Southern descent
view the deeds of their fathers dur
ing the Reconstruction period, and.
they are proud of the record. The
heritage is precious one-how prec-
ious many did not realize until The
Clansman" came. The peace ana
prosperity of the present are founded
on the heroic labors of the Ku Klux
Klan and the other secret organtza-
tions that resisted the iniquitous
measures by which it was sought to
reduce the South into mongrel sat
rapy. "The Clansman" pictures the
Ku Klux Klan in dark Crisis OF
South Carolina history: It shows
them riding to the rescue Of the gal
liant Camerons, the high court OF JUS
tice of the Klan, the summon1ng OF
the order to put down the carpet-
baggers, and finally the intervention
of the Klan when the mulatto Lieu
tenant Governor of the State had all
most succeeded in his purpose to wed
a white girl. The play is true to his
torical conditions though the details
are imaginatively conceived, and 1t
has created a profound sensation
wherever it has been played. 1t will
be presented here with a well-bal-
anced company, a beautiful scenic
production and electrical effects, and
the noted Ku Klux Klan cavalry OF
trained horses and expert riders.

It is against the law to shoot part
ridges before the - u Of November,
and it is to BE hoped there will be no
violations in this county. The Auau-
bon Society is looking after the viola
tions of the game laws, and those
who shoot partridges before the sea-
son opens are likely to get into
trouble.
