Bid Farewell to City

The last appearance in this city this
season Of Ben Greets players and of
Modest Altschuler and his Russian
symphony orchestra VIII take place this
afternoon when a Midsummer Nights
Dream" viii be presented. This fantas-
tic comedy backed up by Bfendelssohn's
superb music has been the most popular
Offering Of the combined dramatic and
instrumental forces. It is the best
presentation so it IS generally believed,
that Greet has in his repertoire. The
music which accompanies the action is
splendidly played by the great Russian
orchestra and as the selections are IA
sailiar TO most music lovers little need
be said Of the beauties which are found
An the score Fairyland is depicted on
the stage and fairy moods are induced
by the Mendeissohn music.
The comic role Of Bottom is humor-
eusly taken by Ben Greet, whose por-
frayal keeps the audience in ripples OF
laughter, especially during his Pyramus
scene. George Vivian as Puck makes
the best OF q good part and delivers his
lines with understanding. Miss Irene
Rookie, Miss Violet Vivian and Miss
Grace Halsey Mills are all very good
in the leading feminine roles.

THE IDLER.

noticed III the papers some time
ago that Senator Tillman said that
the difficulty at Clemson between
Capt. Minus and President Nell was
a temperamental difference. OF
course You know what that means.
Senator Tillman illustrated his mean
ing by saying that you had frequent
" seen two horses that would not
work together but would pull single
alright. That being the case, Of
course one of them should have got
ten out. There seems to have been
4 lot of temperamental differences at
Clemson first and last.
It seems from what I have read of
the writing OF Trustee Mann that
there are other temperamental differ
enceS at Clemson and | suppose they
will have the attention Of the full
board at the annual meeting.
That trouble at Clinton with the
base ball teams was unfortunate. l
am sorry that Clinton correspondent
of the Lauens Advertiser wrote as
he or she or it did. I do not believe
our Newbery boys precipitated OF
started any trouble because they are
not built that way. | am not all ell
thusiast on base ball but believe in
fair play and justice. The reply OF
Profs. Goggans and Riser was Dig
mifed and manly. Well, 1 hope it is
all over now and that good fellow
ship will return.
The city coucil has passed the
trash ordinance. That is another one
to the credit Of the Civic association.
Now for its enforcement. That Is up
to council. The streets in many plac-
es are in fearful condition.
Have YOU seen Willowbrook park?
It is beauty. The name is pretty
but too long. The ldler does hope
this private enterprise and public
spirit will wake up Mayor Langford
and council to put a nice little park
over on this side. There are a num-
ber Of places where ONE could be To-
Gated. The Idler wants you to hurry
up for I want some cool and shady
place to roam and to mediate. Sure
" a whole city can and will keep
pace with the work of a corporation
in the matter Of beautifying and ad-
orning the city. We ought to have
two or three parks on the east side.
The trustees have elected the su-
perintendent and teachers for the
school but they can't decide ON the
lot. Well, that is a very important
matter. If they get the wrong teach
er, a change can be made but once
lot is selected it will take long time
to be able to change and then 1t
would be made at a great cost. BE
sure you are right and then go ahead.
And a few dollars should not keep
the trustees from deciding the best
place and the most suitable place.
Some Of the citizens Of Newberry
have suggested that the Farmers Oh
mill should have a distributing point
for ice up town. The Idler thinks
the suggestion good one and desires
to pass it on to Mr.. John H. Wicker.
Everybody in Newberry buys ice
from this factory and they make
good ice. Everyone is proud to be
able to use Newberry made ice and
I am satisfied that Mr. Wicker wants
to serve the best interests of all the
people Of the community. 1t ire
quently happens that some one wants
small quantity Of ice and cannot
always get it as the wagon passes.
