 II. II. Frazee, in presenting The Time. the Place and the Girl" which will be produced at the Elks theater on Friday night, offers us a musical comedy production that is a distinct departure from all others that have been presented in this city.
 "The Time, the Place and the Girl, " was taken from an actual occurrence the scenes being reproduced from photographs around which the story was written Johnny Hicks. slan- gy, good natured and honorable young gambler, is away from the old stereo- typed stage character, very original and refined, and above all, highly pleasing. Molly Kelly, the trained nurse, Picdro, the organ grinder, Will lie the spoiled child, and the Coal Heaver hold up the comedy end Of the play. The chorus comes from the La Selle school, long noted for it's 'Broilers, and having q reputation of being the greatest training school for chorus birls in America. The cast ill it's entirety has been carefully select ed. The equipment is complete in ev cry detail the stage being stripped Of everything before the arrival of the company to make room for the mas sive scenic effects.
 One of the most beautiful pictures ever witnessed is that used in the sec ond act Forty young ladies so ar ranged and grouped as to reproduce d large American flag, covering the en- tire stage.

MOVEMENT GENERAL.
Keeping House for Comfort.

He was wise who wrote: Half the
sting of poverty or Of small means Is gone
when one keeps house for ones own com
fort and not for the comment Of ones own
neighbors." Deny it as we will, few Of US
have the moral force to set up standard
of our own, based upon our own incomes
and our own particular home environ
ments. We commit the folly Of regulating
our expenses by the income Of some one
else. If the Browns across the street hang
up expensive lace curtains, we are dis
contented until lace curtains have gone
up at our windows, no matter how much
smaller our income may be than that OF
the Browns. If the Smiths put down a
velvet carpet, our neat and pretty ingram
becomes an eye, sore to us. We are ex-
tremely mindful Of what our neighbors will
think about many things that ought not to
concern them in the least. We have no
our tables must be regulated by the stand
ard Of others. We have not the courage
nor the independence to be Indifferent to
the comment of our neighbors, This form
Of moral cowardice Is causing many fam
lilies to live beyond their incomes. They
can face debt and forfeit their self respect
easier than they can face the unfavorable
comment Of their neighbors and friends.
The extent to which this imitation OF
others is carried would be ludicrous did it
not bring so much happiness in it's train.
1t Is frequently the direct cause OF the dis
cord and discomfort and debt that have
driven happiness from the family hearth
stone. Let US have standard Of our own
based upon onr own tastes, our own in
comes, our own needs and let us cheer
fully and bravely adhere to this standard,
needless Of that dreadful bug-bear: what
will the neighbors say."-Leesville News.

CURES INDIGESTION.
Olive or Cotton Seed Oil Recon-.
mended BY Albanian.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
Mr. l.. T. Wilkins, well known citizen,
of College Park, has cnre for indigestion
that he wants to give to suffering humanity
through the columns Of the Journal. 1t is
as follows:
Take three teaspoonfuls Of olive oil dur
ing each meal. II olive oil is too expen-
sive, refined cotton seed oil will do just as
well. Drink no water for an hour before
or after meals.
Mr.. wilkins declares that ten years ago
he was physical wreck, caused by dys-
pepsia 1t developed into acute indiges-
ton, and ne was given up to die by several
good doctors.
"But am well and healthy and hearty
now, and can eat anything l like" ne ex-
claims with enthusiasm, "Aow did learn
the cure? Well, nobody recommended 1t
to me, so 1 reckon you might say it was
to begin with an experiment. But the
selection Of olive oil was prompted by its
known efficacy as ali aid to digestion, 80 1t
was not altogether chance shot"
Abstinence from water for an hour before
and after meals is Of the utmost impor-
tance, says, Mr.. Wilkins. IF the stomach
is burdened with quantity of water while
the process Of digestion is going on says
he, fermentation sets in, and the whole
process is deranged."
Though well past middle age, Mr. vii.
kins is healthy, hale and hearty fine
example Of what the simple, inexpensive
remedy has done for dyspeptic wreck.

Norman Hackett, the young actor who
has succeeded Richard Mansfield in the IT,
tie role Of Beau Brummel," and who will
be seen in this city at the Opera House on
Nov. 1st, Is native OF Detroit, and still re-
talns his home in that city. His first dip
into theatricals was in an amateur way,
but 30 strong was his bent that the profess
sional career soon attracted him.
He had the judgment, unusual In half
grown boy, to realize that the better he
could equip himself intellectually, the bet
ter would be his prospects for succeeding.
The first thing to do was to obtain an edu-
cation. This he accomplished. 1t was while
he was student at the University OF Mich
igan that he met Mile Rhea, the French
actress whose American career covered
several years. She heard him read and at
once offered him place in her company.
gene in Mademoiselle's famous production
of "Josephine," a Napoleonic play Of histor-
ical tableaux. Since then he has played
leading parts In the companies Of Louis
James, E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, James
O'Neill and Frederick Warde. Last season
his Classmates" was one Ut the greatest
stage triumphs Of the season, and assured
him front ranking with the great Ameri-
can stars.
Mr. Hackett's progress has been sure,
and his achievements rest on q solid found
alton. He comes to the title role in Beau
Brummel" after long and laborious expe-
rience in the classics, tempered by his work
in the purely modern role Of Classmates. "
Mr.. Hackett was member OF the class
of '98 at the University Of Michigan, is q
Theta Delta Chi man, and one Of the found
ers of the Lambda Sigma fraternity.

BEAU Brummel" the play which brought
fame and fortune to Richard Mansfield
and the title role Of which is acknowledge
ed to be one Of the most difficult parts In
the theatrical category, Is being presented
this year by that popular young romatic
actor, Norman Hackett. Mr.. Hackett's
Classmates" Of last season will be rem
embered as the acme of dramatic art. and
criticisms Of the leading critics Of the
country this season pronouncing his Beau
Brummel" to be far in advance Of even
classmates" The wonderful, subtle art
Of "Beau Brummel" will admit Of but few
American actors attempting the part. The
clear, crisp enunciation with which Mr..
Mansfield played the role comes only to q
man who has made life study Of enunci-
alton, and the sparkling lines and delicious
abandonment Of Beau Brumme" can only
be expressed by those who have closely
followed the olden days Of the American
stage. Such actors as Sames O'Neill, Louis
James and E. H. Southern are the exam
pies from which the studious young actor
takes his lessons. Norman Hackett, before
venturing into modern drama, supported
all these stars, in addition to seeing service
with Julia Marlowe and Frederick warde.
This training Is apparent in his perfect
understanding Of the role OF the highly
educated, refined Beau Brummel," and
the supporting company reflects the stars
careful attention to every detail which
goes to make up perfpct Interpretation
of the classic drama. Beau Brummel' sis

brides home, Mr.. B. G. Mc1lwain.

Mr.. John Smith of Fairs Bridge settle.
ment and Miss Sudie Harbin Of Long
Cane were united in matrmony on the oath
instant at Gilgal church by the pastor In
charge, Rev. Wiggins.
The farmers are having hard time just
now with the cotton buyers in regard to
the nine yards of bagging only. A few
years ago the buyers said to the farmers
Wrap up your cotton better, then we can
pay you more for it," At that time cotton
was bringing about eight cents. Now they
say: 1--WE can't pay thirteen cents for bag
ging" But we think we have been dictat-
ed to about enough by those little fellows.
They will be glad to get it with forty
yards on it before another crop is made.
Boys, how long would thing last If we
were thoroughly organized Let the
farmers stick together. Rise up in your
might and strength and say: "Mr. Cotton
Buyer, you cannot dictate to me any long
er." If there ever was time for the farm
er, now is the time. With only half crop,
we need all we can get forthis crop. Mar
ket your cotton slowly and the victory is
ours. Stick to your union and fight on till
you have won.
We have just learned that Mr.. William
johnson Of Greenwood county has lost his
mind. Our sympathy goes out for him.
We wish him speedy recovery.
