my Friend From Dixie"


Those who have not seen and heard
the musical comedy entitled my
Friend From Dixie" will miss a great
treat. The Howard Theater stock
company, that presented the musical
comedy Monday evening, is composed
of some of the best musical talent
in the country. 1t is a three-ac ct
musical comedy. The book and music
are by Mr.. J. Lubrie Hill, no doubt
one of the best dramatic composers
in the United States. Ensembles are
by Mr.. Will H. Vodey; lyrics by Mr.
Alonzo Goven. The play is produced
and staged under the direction of Mr.
Hill, who is a natuTal-born actor.
Jasper Green is a rich plantation
owner Mr.. Louis A. Mitchell as
sumes this character. The play is
laid in Leesburg, Va. Mandy Lee, his
daughter, is Mrs. Hill. Jim Jackson
Lee, son-in-law of Jasper Green, is
Mr. Richard w. Shelton. He is soon
transformed from a farmer to a city
sport. He mortgages his wife's prop
erty and goes to Washington to
have himself elected president of the
Negro Business League. Bill Sim
mons is Jim Jackson, Lees friend.
Mr.. Will Brown takes this character.
His singing and acting are good.
After he persuades Jim to mortgage
his wife's property he is-arrested and
sent to jail, but is subsequently re-
leased and is forgiven by his wife and
restored to his family. Kate Krew,
the social reporter, is Miss Evon
ID
actress. Miss Leona Marshall takes
the character of a merry widow. She
was loudly applauded for her stunts.
Miss Quetta Watts, Arthur Carr,
Charles H. Woody, and Coleman L.
Minor are great acquisitions to the
company. The old mems quartette
and the newsboys' quintette made a
great hit. The choruses are beauti-
full The following is the program:
Place-Leesburg, Va. Time-Midday.
Scene I, Act Front of Jasper
Green's home.

home, Washington, D. c. Afternoon
same day.
Scene I, Act 3-Street in Washing
ton. One week later.
Scene 2, Act 3-Convention Hall,

The comedy far surpasses the Smart
Set. The comedy has a moral and
its closing is appreciative.
This company will give to the peo-
pie what they have been asking for.
Those who have not seen the play
should do so. Manager Smith is to
be congratulated
The Bee extends its congratulations
to Mr. J. Lubrie Hill, and believes
him to be the most natural-born actor
upon the American stage to-day.

A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs 70
AvonmOuth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge, a curious structure TO
which a singular tradition Is attached,
relates the London Tatisr. The story
is that a person named Cook about a
century ago was told by gypsy In the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-One. To avert
this he built high tower and shut his
son In the topmost room with the IN
tention Of secluding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by &C
cident a viper was taken up in a fagot
70 the room to light the Gre, and 1t
cFept from the fagot and bit the boy
so that he died. Therefore the tower
was called Cooks Folly. and that is its
name to this day, whatever is the true
explanation.

all should receive a share of these taxes

May. Camden has 1883, an increase
since 1900 Of "a 5 per cent.
A comparison Of the census reports for

is as follows:

National census of 1900 ........-... 1886
State census Of 1905 ............. 93 1868
Police census of 19O6......~.-... 92,43S

Mr.. R. K. Neff, having charge of Obs

Neck, sent a letter to the Board, COM
planning that in crossing the Penn's Neck
bridge one night recently in his automo-
bile, he ran into a chain stretched across
the bridge, causing some damage, especi-
ally breaking the hat pins of his wife,
and that he would present a bill to the
Board for damage. The chain had been
placed across the bridge preparatory to
running of the draw, which is done in all
'drawbridges in the county.
On motion OF Mr.. Hires, in order to
prevent the occurrence of such accidents,
it was ordered that all drawbidges, with
bridge tenders, hereafter display a red
flag on such chain during the day and a
red light at night.
Mr.. Griscom said he had been request
ed to state that the county had already
spent $4,000 this year for repairs on
State roads, exhausting the appropriation
for this purpose, and that he moved that
the county suspend all repairs to the roads
for the balance of the year, except scrap
ing, unless ordered by the Board. He
said this would be necessary if the Elmer
road is to be built.
Mr.. Caspar said the State roads are now
in fair shape, the only exception being
the Lower PENIS Neck road, and he
thought sufficient shells ought to be
bought to fill up the holes in this road.
On motion Of Mr.. Hannah, Mr.. Casper
was authorized to purchase 500 bushels OF
oyster shells for this purpose.
