The Hero.


Being good by conGact
Goes against the grain,
For the weary pilgrim
Something OF "A strain.
Took the pledge in earnest
Didn't see the joke.
Never was SO thirsty
Or so dead for smoke.
Seems n little matter
Simply giving up
More or less tobacco
And the friendly cup.
But IL tries his courage
When he meets "A guy.
One already fallen
Who is keen To buy.
Funny how temptation
Tampers with the gent
Who Is on the wagon
With the best intent.
Fer he rose and rashly
Put the stuff away
No one tried to kindly
Steer his feet astray.
Puts his powers for staying
To the hardest test.
Stirs h1me queer emotions
Underneath his vest.
Every day he wonders
IL he'll turn the trick.
To his resolutions
Like a hero stick

An OLD SIORY.

AS mentioned in the Review,
the old story about the mines
playing out here has become a
chestnut. Every time the local
papers tell of some mine being
worked out the papers in the
surrounding towns print the
story that the mines are playing
out. This story is at least TWEEN
ty years old and has and has an
abundant crop of whiskers.
That the Rich Hill field is not
worked out is shown by the fact
that Emmett Wear has just open
ed a new mine just north of town
which turns out one hundred
tons every eight hours. Mines
are to be opened east Of the river
and the New Home mines are
working full force. Other mines
are contemplated south of town
lin fact the coal industry in the
Rich Hill field is a live one, and
because one shaft is closed is no
sign of the abandonment OF the
field.

in Alabama. Shortly before the be-
ginning of the war they removed to
North Carolina and at the outbreak
of hostilities, Amos ]. Pickens en-
listed in a North Carolina regiment.
He served throughout the war, ris-
ing to the rank of sergeant. At the
battle Of Antietam he lost his left
eye. Arthur j. Pickens was born in
North Carolina, but two years after
his birth the family moved to Ohio.
Although he has been on the stage
since he was fourteen years old this
Is the first time that Mr.. Pickens
has made tour of the south. The
role that he plays in THE Traitor
is an entirely new type of negro
character, very different from any
heretofore presented on the stage.
