The general Government has bank
balances in designated repositories ex-
ceeding sixty-two million dollars and
it needs money, therefore it will begin
checking out the balances now held by
the National banks. What effect this
may have on the flow of money is not
known. Many tinanciers think it will
cause a stringency, but as the Nation
al Treasury pays out the money it will
return to ordinary channels and the
banks should soon have it back in cir
culation.

A few years ago our council
men took great pride in keeping
our streets and sidewalks in the
best of condition. What has came
over them that they allow water
to stagnate in front of our busl-
ness houses, and crossings to be-
come almost impossible for Ia
dies and children? What do pas
sengers think of us when they
look upon the lake on Front
street, which is about the first
thing that greets the eye when
the train stops.

Publication Office: Mail Building.
Our Streets at the Present
Time

The MAIL desires to call the at
tention of the City Fathers to
the dep1orable condition of our
streets. During the recent rains
of the past week or two the cross,
ings at the several street corners
have become overlaid with a
coating of Winslow's famous red
mud to the depth of severalinch-
es. Many carpets in our homes
will lift up their voices in protest
against their desecration; many
of our estimable housewives
raise indignant protest.
A stranger in the town during
the past week, remarked to the
editor of the MAIL, that WinslOw
was a prosperous town indeed,
but that the sanitary conditions
of her streets would disgrace an
Arab settlement.
Take a casual stroll through
the alleys in the rear of some of
our business blocks, notably
those enclosed by Front, Second,
Kinsley and the round house.
The nOstrils are offended and the
sight out ragged. The alley is one
filthy mess, a breeding place for
mosquitoes, typhoid germs and
foul OderS.
Nor is this the only case of the
kind in town. There are many
others. Have we not a scaven-
ger wagon? And employees
charged with the duty of dispos-
ing of the city's refuse? Where
then are they? Do they confne
their activities to certain por-
tiOns of the town to the neglect
of others?
These conditions are scandal
lous and the City Council should
take steps to have them remidied
at once, else wherefore taxes.

There is not a town in North

being a vacant house to be had

LOUIS JAMES in
HENRY The eighth
Has We'll Sustained Reputation He
Has Won.-Appears Here
On October 20.

OF Louis James, the celebrated
Shakespearian actor who appears in
this city at the Auditorium on the
night of October 20, the Columbia, S.
O., States says:
Mr. Louis James has always stood
for the best in the drama and he has
ever endeavored to educate his audi
ences. Take the long line of plays he
has presented and you will find them
all in the classics. The departure last
year from Shakespeare was the mar
KeIous Peer Gynt" and who can gain
saw that it, too, will not take its prop
err place with the real and lasting
drama? By the way, just in passing,
Columbia people, as well as other
SOutherners. who have the opportun-
fly of witnessing metropolitan produc-
tons, would be glad to see Mr.. James
Peer.
Last night this actor of the 'legiti-
mate" presented Henry the Eighth
and he we'll sustained the reputation
he has earnestly won in this section Of
the country In the role of the schem
ing, crafty, Cardinal Wolsey he was al
his best. The audience saw the real
picture of the 18th century Richelieu

the wonderful man who for a time
swayed the destinies of cruel, AFRO
giant king. The transition of Wolsey
is the sorrow of the we'll known story.
There is little to pity in the character
of the man save his rise and fall, his
pursuit of the idol ambition, whose
kisses are sweet, but whose feet of
clay are too soon shown. But who
can not feel deep down in his heart
the despair of. Had but served my
God with half the zeal | served my
king" 1t was in this fourth act-tha
real climax of the play-that Mr..
James accomplished his best efforts.
His strong, robust, manly personality
and his intelligence in the reading
make him an ideal Shakespearean in
terpreter.
Miss Aphie James, in the pathetic
role of Queen Katherine, outdid her
self as the "Solvieg" of Peer Gynr
Her reading was splendid, and in the
familiar trial scene she rose to fine
heights. In the death scene she hello
