PRESCOTT
"UNION DEPOT"
 SCORES BIG HIT

''Union Depot presented at the Academy Auditorium for the benefit of the local Chapter of the U. D. c. on Friday evening by home talent directed by Miss Margaret Melick was a decided success from the standpoint of entertainment-there was a full house and a continual roar of laughter. The comedy was en- acted with all the force of human nature in every day life-it seems to have been taken from real life-and all the characters were we'll up in their parts, The Cow Girls drill was very thrilling. Making their appearance in re gulation cow girl costume with revolver and holster: they came shooting" their way in to pro- minence and demanding atten- tion even at the muzzle of their smoking six shooters, and held the audience spell-bound--who recognizing that they were amateurs were on expectancy of a dire calamity-and were great ly and thrillingly entertained. When they shot the last round and disappeared in the wings we were sorry they dld not drill longer.
 We must not let Old Glory pass without the mention it deserves When the U. s. A. drill appeared with the flag waving triumph antly over head there was a round of applause from the audi ence and when the drill was ended with the song Dixie, long and loud was the cheering. We think it one of the best en- tertainments that Waynesboro has ever had.
 The selection of characters and the training in their different parts by Miss Melick shows a keen insight of human nature, as every character seemed to fit his or her part. The public recog- nizes in this lady a great addi- tion to public entertainment, and the people of Wanesboro appre- ciate her efforts to amuse them. -EX.
 This play will be presented at the Opera House tonight.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
 AT SELF CULTURE CLUB
Members of the Self Culture
 Club and Friends;

Members of the Self Culture
 Club and Friends;
 Is is with bright hopes and great expectations that we begin this new Club Year. With such a profitable year as we have left behind, my hopes are that we have become so enthused that we will strive to make this cur banner year.
 May each member feel per- sonal responsibility, be prompt and regular at the meetings, bring up her part on the program and in every way lend all aid to make the Club success. Sepa- rated we can accomplish little; but aggregated we can make a great impress, not only on our own hearts and minds. but on the whole town as we'll. A deep and abiding thought of such a band of women is this: The power of such club of women cannot be estimated.
 So let us. of the Self Culture Club, return to our work inspired with the desire to do our part in this great readjustment and up- lifting process; this restoration of buried ideals. the purifcation of thoughts and morals, the awakening of patriotic principles, and the development of nobler citizenship.
 Forward, Club, Town and State is our slogan, let none lag behind.

there would be little further question
Of his credentials.

FORMER SENATOR PLATT
AND HIS LEADERSHIP.

Former Senator Thomas Collier PIatt
OF New York is dead. His death marks
the passing of one Of the most remark
able figures which American political
life has furnished. While it has not
been long since he retired from the
Senate, it has been a number of years
since he dominated Republican politics
in New York State. Many younger
men do not appreciate how great was
the power he welded in his prime. Sen
ator DePew, speaking of his late col
league, summed up Senator Platt's
effectiveness as a boss by saying that
his leadership Of the Republican party
IN New York was an unbro,en success,
and that no other man ever had so firm
a hold upon his party.
Those persons who think Of Senator
Platt as he was often seen in recent
years about the corridors of the Capt
toi. a lettering and feeble old invalid,
wracked and wreuched by disease, do
not know thu man who has Just died.
In his best oays he had a mind as
keen as a knife, he knew men. was far
seeing, adroit, relentless, and of no
mean order Of intellectual accomplish
ments.
Mr.. Plat as a national figure was
known largely, though not by any
means entirely, through his resignation
from the United States Senate with
Roscoe Conkling, when he earned the
sobriquct Of ''AIe Too Platt. and bv
his success in inducing Theodore
Roosevelt 70 run in second place on the
ticket with Mckinley. Platt intended
TO shelve Roosevelt Fate willcd other
wise, and It was the irony of fortune
that in few years after the nomi-
nation Roosevelt was dominating the
politics Of New York State and Platt
was reduced to mere shadow of his
one time power. The consequences of
Plstt's persuasion Of Roosevelt at the
Philadelphia convention OF 1900 can
