CHASE'S
Polite Vaudeville.


The usual overlooking holiday crowds
attended the performances at Chsses
yesterday and were entertained by a
clever bill. Mr. Joseph Sheehan being
the particular star Of the occasion. Mr..
Sheehan continues to Increase IN avoirdU-
poIs, but his vocal powers seem. to suffer
10 diminution. The quality OF his voice
is as effective as ever. He excels in the
romantic. and It Is very enjoyable to
listen TO his Interpretation of such favor
ties as The Lost Chord. Martha, 4"
Believe Ne If All Those Endearing
Young Charms" and The Wearing Of
the Green
A striking feature Of the programme IS
the performance o. Henry Give. who
gives q humorously edifying tTavesty on
the modern sleight-of-hand entertainer.
Some Of the comedy would be rather i'm
possible were Il not for the slick way IN
which Mr. Give moves II along and the
droH line OF talk with which he accom-
panies it. He is assisted by Miss Mai
Sturgis Walker. The other comedy fea-
lures Of the Dill are good, and partake.
to q large extent, OF the uproariOUs. Cor
don Eldred and company furnish q laugh
able skit How he Won Her which.
from the fact Of it being coupled with
the name OF Lincoln J. Carter, one would
expect 10 be a thrilling melodrama: but
far from IL It IS a comedy Of the most
acute variety. most OF the fun coming
from the manipulation Of fake artificial

gssp IT AWAY FROM POLITICS.

The visit Of the editors to
Clemson College. in our judg
ment, will be productive OF good
results. Those editors who had
never visited the institution be-
fore must have been greatly i'm
pressed with its magnitude, and
they will appreciate more fully
what is needed there to make it
the best in the United States.
There has been considerable ad
verse criticism brought on prin-
cipally by several unfortunate
incidents, which we have no
doubt must arise in such q large
enterprise. Things do not al
ways run smooth, frictions occur,
and when these do come: it be-
comes the duty Of the press to
give its aid for betterment. We
regard the recent discussion
anent the ownership and con-
troll of the college unfortunate,
it ought not to have been started,
and can do no good. 1t makes
but little difference whether the
life trustees are in the majority,
what the people want is service,
and we believe the institution
should not be embarrassed by
political contriverses. If there
is mismaragement, let the mis-.
management be pointed out, and
from what We could see, we be-
lieve the trustees will gladly
remedy any wrong there may be
existing, but to direct a tire on
the institution, and drag it into
the political arena for dema'
gogues to create distrust in order
to crafty a selfish ambition,
should be frowned down upon
by all who have the welfare Of
this school at heart.

cording TO the official records. Every
assertion We make is backed up bv

county amounted 70 81, 1+i,2 PIG, leaving
&,22..22,t.9 in the old county area. Now
we have : statement from the auditor
OF Clarendon county showing that the
to:a! amour; OF taxable property in the
whole OF Sandy Grove township aggre-
gates only $3.50. Add this TO the
an,ouu, in the williamsburg part OF the
Euc!edse area and we have 81, ,09l
as the taxable property in the whole OF
EutledGe county, whereas the COMP

EsDEavogISe TO coERsE TIE TIGERS.

Whether tits to intimidate the
Illicit sellers of liquor. or q
sincere notice that il the people
vote liquor oat OF certain coun-
ties, the law will be strictly en-
forced, we do not know, but it
does seem strange that the au-
thorities in certain counties
should be giving it out that they
intend to enforce prohibition. if
it is so voted. What is the mat,
ter with their devoting attention
the enforcement of the dlspen-
Sary law? nowSurely, if Richland
and Charleston can enforce pro-
hibition laws. they can much
easier suppress blind tigers with
dispensaries running.
The general belief is, that the
blind tiger element propose to
vote prohibition with view to
driving out the dispensary and
have q larger field to do ouSl-
ness in, and the threats TO en-
force prohibition is to make the
tigers" hesitate and finally vote
and work for the retention Of
the dispensary.
We are convinced that South
Carolina's legislature at its next
session will enact a Statewide
prohibition law, we would much
prefer that it would exempt one
or two counties, because we be-
lieve the exemption Of those
counties which areoverwhelming-
" i-prohibition. will prove Of
more value to the cause Of pro
hibition, than to force prohibl-
ton on them, but the present
tendency is to make it State
wide with no exception, and at
the next session of the leglsla-
ture this will oe done.
Our personal position is
against prohibition, but as a
matter OF business policy we
must protect our interests and
see to it that no liquor is legally
sold within reach Of this people,
since they have by their own act
abolished its sale, and as We
feel, we are satisfied others Sim
ilarly situated feel the same way.
They will vote for Statewide
prohibition, because the legal
sale Of liquor has been abolished
in the counties represented by
them.
The election takes place on
the 18th of next month, and fully
nlnety-dve per cent. Of the dis
pensary counties will join the
prohibition column, the repre-
sentatives from these counties
will almost to a man, vote for
prohibition, and We think this
will be done with but very little
discussion, providing, of course,
the politicians who want to re-
serve the issue for the stump CO
not prevent the enactment OF
the law.
