Deeei Iers.

There is an old fellow who lives in a dry" New England town who has a very poor opinion of New York, to which metropolis he recently made a visit. It may be remarked in passing that the old gentleman Is one of the pillars of the church in his native vil- lage. Upon his return home he sat for some time upon sugar. barrel at the grocery and then suddenly burst out:
 Them fellers down to New York Is as bad as thieves. Cheat your eye teeth out fore you know itr'

 Well, by heck. got itr' was the disgustcd reply.

Sharks and Divers.

Contrary to what is generally sup posed, the fully equipped modern diver does not dread sharks in the depths, though there are cases on record where these monsters have bitten saw agely at the air pipe, causing serious leak and almost drowning the man be- fore he could be hauled up. Sharks are. however. notoriously timid, and all the experienced diver has to, do to Tighten them away is to open one of the air valves in his dress and cause a stream of bubbles to rise up all around him. whereupon the tiger of the deep'' will make ofr in abject terror. A far more real danger is getting entangled. St Nicholas.

JOHNNY CALVIN IN


 Tonight the great New York musical comedy success "A Bell Boy will be the attraction at the Dreamland Thea ter, with the clever young light come dian Johnny Calvin as the principal funmaker and supported by the dainty little soubrette Ella Calvin and the pri. ma donna suprano Irene Drew and a large comapny of capable actors and a chorus of pretty girls who can sing and dance. "A Bell Boy" is no farce comedy nor is it burlesque but it is high class, clean cut, musical comedy full of funny situations, bright dia- logue, sparkling lyrics and music that is tuneful and catchy and that easily remembered and is more easily whis- tied, the kind that every one wants to hear.
 The production is said to be lavish in the mater of scenery, costumes and electrical and mechanical effects, and in every way worthy of the manage ment and the high character of the chief comedians taking part in it.
 It contains mere big acts and feature numbers than any musical comedy on the road today. Everything is new and up-to-date and every solo, quartette and concertef number is given with verve and vim that shows the best and most artistic stage management.
 Johnny Calvin himself is one of those handsome, pleasant hammered boys bubling over with ginger who sings, dances, and keeps things on the go very much as does his more famous contemp- orary Geo. M. Conan, although he at no time initiates him.
 Miss Irene Drew, the prima donna of "A Bell Boy' is Q most handsome as we'll as talented singer. She has in this piece the best opportunity of her entire artistic career and she makes the most of it. In one number she ap- pears in an automobile touring ear lighted by many electric lights
 The production is metropolitan in every sense of the term. The scenery is the work of the best artists in New

POLICY OUTLINED.

Ii the fate which the bill for the
support and Improvement of the deaf
and dumb institute suffered at the
hands of the appropriation commit
Tee on the floor of the house last
Wednesday is any indication then the
other institutions are in poor way
20 secure their needed improvements
and repairs. This was the first of
the States institutions 10 get before
the house and the way the bill was
cut and trimmed and torn 10 pieces
left no mistake as 10 the temper and
policy Of the present lower assem-
bly,. Many OF the Improvements We're
taken out Of the BILL appropriations
for furniture and fixtures were de-
feated, the support fund was allowed
to remain what it has been for the
past several years and the bill was
otherwise mutiIated Burkitt and
Morrison led the fight against the in
crease of the appropriation and the
fate of the bill establishes the policy
OF the lower legislative body.
IN utter contrast to the action of
the house was the action of the sen
ate on the A and NJ College bill.
This bill carried an appropriation for
a new chapel and administration build
ing, something the institution badly
needs. and it had been previously re-
ported favorably by the Senate fl
nance committee When it came to
the floor of the senate for final ac-
tion, numerous attempts were made
to amend the bill, but it passed as it
come from the committee. 1t now
goes to the house for consideration.
Chairman Morrison of the house
appropriation committee has an
nounced openly that the senate action
on these bills will carry little infiu-
ence with the house and they will
trim them all This week will proba-
bly, witness the passage of all of the
bills for the educational and elee-
mOsynary institutions and the prep
arations for the winding up of the
session.

A FREAKISH RATE.

The railroads do many strange
things in many strange ways, and an
investigation of rates in connection
with the warehouse which the
Lowndes County Farmers Union is
to build either at Columbus or
Steenston has brought to light a con
dition which is certainly anomalous.
The rate on cotton from Steenston to
Carolina points is about forty cents
a bale cheaper than from Columbus,
yet local cotton brokers are allowed
TO purchase cotton at Steenston, bring
it to Columbus to be compressed, and
then ship it to Carolina points on the
original Steenston rate In other
words, the Southern Railway not only
hauIs the cotton from Steenston TO
Columbus and back again absolutely
free of cost, but pays about forty
cents a bale for the privilege of per
forming the service, this representing
the difference ia the rate between the
two points.
An official Of the road has ad-
vanced the argument that even
should the warehouse be erected at
Steenston Columbus would not be af-
fected. He sets up the claim that
even though the warehouse is located
there Columbus brokers will still buy
the cotton and viii bring it here to
be compressed. and then ship to Caro-
lima under the Steenston rate, just as
they do now This theory, however.
is hardly tenable. for the members
of the Farmers Union control several
thousand bales of cotton, and the fact
that this cotton is stored at Steenston
will nauralIy induce brokers in Bir-
mingham, West Point and other pIac-
es to send buyers. The cotton pur-
chased by these brokers will oc course
go to their home towns 10 be com
pressed, and Columbus viii derive no
benefit whatever from it. In addi-
tion to using the warehouse for stor-
ing cotton, fertilizers Will also be
stored therein Members of the
union have made arrangements to |
purchase this commodity in car load
lots, and when their wagons go to the I
away fertilizers it is bat natural to
presume that whatever supplies are
needed on the farm will be purchased
at the same time Should the ware
rouse be erected at Steenston many
faremrs in the northeastern section
of the county viii purchase their dry
good and groceries there, and a lu-
crative trade which Columbus has en-
joyed for a number of years will be
lost to her forever.
the law OF supply and demand
rules the universe, and if the ware
house should be built at Steenston
and the cotton receipts of that town
Increase from year to year it would
not be very long before some corpora
ton would erect a compress there.
This would, oc course. hurt Colum
bus. as. cotton from points further up
the road which now comes TO this
city to be compressed would naturally
stop there. In dealing with the pro
ieet we must consider not only the
present but the future as we'll, and
an introspective glance convinces US
that there are many reasons why We
should put forth every legitimate eff
fore to induce the members of the
union 10 erect the proposed building
in this city.
