THE UPL|FT AS PLANNED
 BY OLGA NETHERSOLE
What in Her Opinion the Play of the Future Will Be.

Olga Nethersole the distinguished English actress prior to sailing for London last week. gave the following interview through her manager, Wal lace Munro:
 'I am going home for a little quiet holiday, to build up for my strenuous trans-continental tour of America this autumn. I will spend part of my time at my country place at Biarritz on the Bay of Biscay, then go salmon fishing with some friends to the north of Scotland, and return here in time to inaugurate my season around the first of September.
 ''The enormous amount of interest manifested by my presentation of The Writing on the Wall" has encouraged me to offer next season another play by an American author. dealing with another vital social question that has heretofore escaped the dramatists pen. one that is as bold in exposition and treatment as the crusade on tenement reform eXpounded in "The Writing on the Wall.' and one that hope will re- ceive the approval of the public and the endorsement of the press.
 ilt lillllltlicilt steps ldfNtH bN eral corporations and individuals to remedy some of the evils exposed by my play leads me to believe that the truths told have been driven home, and a move forward has been made in the emancipation of the tenement slaves.
 For many years I have exposed to the glare of the footlights, the social corruptions of the individual, aiming thereby to disclose the pitfalls in the social structure, and placing the dan ger sign-posts thereon that others might profit thereby Now I have ad- vanced from the individual to the community and corporation. labOring to unveil certain sociological condi- tions that have been influenced by an undesirable environment, the rect flying of which would surely and speedily redeem a certain percentage of weary souls, whose eXistance is stifled by unsanitary surroundings or dwarfed by social conditions over which they are helpless.
 As the moving picture is the great educator to those who cannot afford to travel, so is the disclosure upon the stage of social conditions the best avenue by which the public at large becomes acquainted with these prob lens as they exist, and judging by my observations and experiences this sea- son, the great American public is ever ready to endorse and support a play that deals with a live vital issue and has something more in it than mere amusement.
 'I feel the great drama of the fu- ture will be woven around sociological themes the tear bedecked william pur- sued heroine of the past must give way to the woman of brain and ideas. the creative and controlling power for good in man. The hero must be a man of thought, not mere mascu- line shell of mock heroics, but the

SUBJECT FOR REFORM.

Some misguided or rather unguided youth last Friday went to the ranch house of Mrs. D. M. LeBarOn, south west of town, and discharged several twenty-two bullets through the win dows and broke up a number of the dishes and even the lamps. Not being satisfied with this the melon patch was next visited and the largest mel ons were cut and slashed without re- gard. The youngster who committed the depredations is under suspicion and arrest may follow. The commit ment of such crimes if proven, may be the means of sentence in the reform school.

Both Teams Practice.

Both elevens were on the gridiron
today, "Ole Miss" having an hour or
so of signal practice during the fore
noon. The Starkville aggregation had
possession OF the field this afternoon
and was put through some fancy
work.
Up to this hour no changes in the
lineup have been indicated, and the
elevens will doubtless go on the field
in the positions designated last week.
Because of injuries received in the
game with Union, Capt. Trotter will
hardly be able to take his position,
and S. Mitchell is expected to take
his place. Haxton is slated for quar-
terback. According to Coach Chad
wick, Of the A. and M. team, no
changes in the lineup of his organ
ization will be necessary, and all
members of the eleven are in fine
trim.
