THE DEACON --A LOCAL SUCCESS

a professional has appeared to disad vantage beside his handling of the part.
 VIII Hulery appeared as general utility with many walking parts whic' he filled out with credit to himself, Monty Snow-many said-was the whole show. There is more poetry in this statement than truth but he was the biggest part of it. He inject. ed a lot of fun in his business and received much of the rather sparing applause.
 Fred Rosenberg hadn't word to say but he was satisfactory in his pantomime.
 A lot of responsibility for the sue. cess of the show fell upon Miss Moorehouse with her absurd charac. ter, and she carried 't off with ease creating couvulsions of laughter.
 Mrs. Mnlers part did not demand much but she filled it out like tried veteran of the stage.
 Miss Springsted was almost au ideal soubrette. She looked her part One could have wished chat she might have spoken up a blt-further than that nothing could have been asked
 Miss Doerrer had the streak oi pathos that ran through the play H was the most trying part of all Her daughter Verne seemed to voice the feeling of the audience-in full sym- pathy with her as it was-when the little girl. as she lay in a swoon on the stage, begged her to wake up Mama"
 And little Verne Miller, she could not have done better-that is no one could have.
 After the play a supper was given the actors at the Fifth Avenue.

 MEANS BUSINESS
(sy United Prsss.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Presi. dent Roosevelt today submitted a short caustic message to congress asking that the government proceed at once against Pulitzer of the New York World for libel against the gov ernment in the publications of charges of graft In relation to the Panama canal purchase. He declares that the statements made in the World were false and that Pulitzer knew them to be false. He declares that the libel is against the people of the United States as well against the government. He submits all docu- ments and correspondence in connec. ton with the purchase. The mes. sage is almost abrupt In It's brivIty.

"The Deacon" was well done many a dollar has been spent in the Legitimate" theatre to see a worse show. The whole thing was entirely creditable. It offered an evenings amusement and made good the offer,
 The play itself was the weakest part of It. It had little pretension to anything of merit-in plot or lines but the local talent" made the most Of what was there,
 There was a fair house and good or chestral music and the curtain went up when the management said it would and there was not one of those dreary waits that so burden the spirit of the audience in nearly all such affairs-it started on time and moved right on to a conclusion just like the real thing This much for Mir. DoSch.
 Mir. Kingsbury had a difficult role in Deacon Thornton. demanding Of him lot of business that MUST be done to save his face. And he man aged it with complete satisfaction to the audience.
 Alex Blanchard came on just a lit. tle out of breath but quickly gathered himself together and behaved as uu. seIfconsclous to the end as a profes sional. carrying himself well and eu- uuciatiug his lines in a manner to distinctly add to the general pleasure.
 The rather trying part fell to Mr. arshen to sit for full five minutes on the stage alone at the very rise of the curtain, reading the Alaskan. It was an original bit of deviltry written into the williams part. His first word announced his complete compos uye and in such command of himself he went through to the close. Many

THE CATTLE TICK.
THE COTTON TICK

THE COTTON TICK
We arc in receipt Of a letter
from MIR. NJ. Ray Powers, vctcrin-
arian at Clemson college in which
he says that he has arranged to
send copies OF the Clemson Col
lcGc ENtcnsion Work bulletin No.
4 to our subscribers.
AS stated in the last issue thi,
bulletin treats entirely OF the cattle
tick and gives valuable information
as to the manner Of discriminating
the tick and also as to the damage
which is done to the cattle industry
III this State by the cattle tick. He
says that last year the board Of tr,ls-
tees appropriated S42oo FOR this
purpose instead Of $500 as we
stated and that this year ne has al
ready asked for $1,000 to carry on
the work.
We understood from the report
winch VIC had during the session Of
the legislature and the figures were
furnished by the department. az
Washington, that the Clemson COL
'"@c authorities spent $500 in
ordcr to carry out the provision Of
the act OF the legislature Of 1907
and 1t was upon these figures that
our statement was based as To the
amount which had been spent bv the
board OF trustees OF Clemson for
this purpose. We asked the finance
committee OF the senate during the
session Of the legislature to make
the appropriation $4,000.
We hope that the board of trus-
tees OF Clemson will grant the re-
quest Of DR.. Powers and make the
appropriation $1,000. 1t will be
money well spent and will also en-
able the State to secure a larger
portion from the Federal govern
1ncnt. AS We see it, it is a very
important work, not only in the
matter Of saving cattle which we
now have, but if the tick can be
cradicatcd it will encourage the
growing Of cattle in this State
which means diversified farming
and the improvement OF our farm
lands.
IN speaking Of the work Dr..
Powers writes to the editor of The
Herald and News as follows: "Our
work last year was very difficult
probably the most difficult that we

PIE are better educated and have al
