THRILLS IN ST. ELMO, PAGE FROM
 THE LONG AGO
John lnce in the Title Role and Miss Fleming as Innocent
 Agnes Pearl

A page out of the past is St. Elmo, which is given at Polls this week, and which attracted a crowded house, last night. The hero is straight from the famous novel which August Evans wrote. He is the kind the women in novels used to like 50 or 60 years ago; soured, and wicked, but very hand some and such card with the ladies This is the kind of hero who always, in the old books, made an excellent finish, in the hands of some innocent young heroine, who must be good and beautiful, and who invariably was the only person who could save the hero's soul.
 Soured hero parts are not so easy to John Ince, who plays the title role, but with the aid of one of those old fashion black broad brims and sar- donic countenance he manages to make the wickedness quite apparent, and in all other respects fulf1lls the most ar dent desire of the most exacting mat inee maiden.
 Miss Fleming hasn't much to say in this play. She takes it out in looks. Such shy maiden; so reserved, so self possessed. so torn by doubt and distracted by the knowledge that there is wicked world in which wicked men, like St. Elmo, roam about to prey on feminine kind.
 Deep was the impression which Miss Fleming, as Agnes Earl, made upon the audience, last night, and it is safe to say that the play will go, although in sentiment and morals it is quite out of touch with things as they are done nowadays.
 The idea that it is a woman's busi- ness to save the souls of smorally wrecked males is less popular than 1t was when Miss Evans wrote, the min- ister has fallen away from his prini- tive position as the leading man of his community, and the pulpit is no more a popular destination for wicked, though repentant, heroes
 For the wicked St. Elmo not only gets the girl, but he joins the ministry, and lives happy ever after.
 The play has been splendidly stag ed by Percy Meldon. It owes much of the drawing power, which it evil dently has, to his excellent work. The parts are well distributed. That ex- cellent actor, J. Hammond Daley, as Gordon Leigh, has a part to which he does justice. The other members of the company were acceptably plac ed Arthur Buchanan as Rev. Allan Hammond; Joseph Eggenton, as Mur- ray Hammond; MT. E.. J. Caldwell as Sir Roger Perciyal; popular Tommy Williams as Henry; Miss Terese Dea- Lawrence as Estelle Harding; Miss Caroline Locke as Agnes Hunt.
 So, MT. and Mrs. Playgoer, if you wish to see something with good, old fashioned thrills in it, page out of the long ago, just take a trip to St. Elmo, which will run until Saturday night, twice daily.

JEWISH MERCHANT
 FINDS LOST BOY IN
 CHRISTIAN CEMETERY

Louis Polakof. an elderly Jewish merchant, of 10th street, New York city, has made arrangements for the removal of the remains of his long lost son. Joseph, from Park cemetery to Jewish burying ground in New York oity.
 The father ended a long search for bis son here late Saturday when he found that the boy, who was last em- ployed with the Barnum & Bailey cir GUS, had died here at the Bridgeport hospital of typhoid fever
 The circusmen, generous always to their fellows in distress. provided for the burial of their comrade, and not knowing of the religious preferences of his people. they secured a lot for him in Park cemetery. He had left home to join the circus early in the season.

What the Light Revealed.

A story is told of a simple and de. vout Methodist minister who was not sufficiently eloquent or businesslike tc be approved by the presiding elder. Through the influence of the elder he felt sure he was appointed to small and widely scattered settlement where there was much hard work, and the results were necessarily meager. One day he was commenting sadly on the narrowness of his opportunities to friend. who said gravely that he ought to pray for light that he might see the hand of the Lord in his appointment.
 '1 have. brother" he answered, again and again. But so far," he added. with a whimsical smile, "Tve had only light enough to see the in- terfering hand of Elder Brown."- Youths Companion.

Eyeglasses.

"Did you ever notice." queried an optician. that nearly every person who wears rimless eyeglasses when polishing the lenses with handker- chief holds the glasses by the nose piece. thus putting all the strain of the rubbing upon the screws which attach the glass to the metal? Of course this tends to loosen the glass and wear out the thread upon the tiny screw This in turn causes the lenses to wabble. resulting in great discom- fort to the wearer It's strange how little intelligence intelligent people dis play in simple matters. but then it brings us busineSS"-New York Globe

If you have sore feet, tired feet, sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet, smelly feet, corns, callouses or bun- ions, read what happened to Mrs. Crockett, of Jeffersonville. TIZ DID TT. iMr. Crockett says: After the second treatment she walked down. stairs one foot at time. She has not been able to walk downstairs before in past five years, except by stepping down on each step with one foot at time. This is remarkable. Send five more boxeS.''
 No mater what ails your feet or what under heaven you have used without getting relief, just use TIZ. It's different. It acts right off. It cures sore feet to stay cured. It's the only foot remedy ever made which acts on the principle of drawing out all the poisonous exudations which cause sore feet. Powders and other remedies merely clog up the pores. TIZ cleans them out and keeps them clean. You will feel better the first time it's used. Use it a week and you can forget you ever had sore feet. There is nothing on earth that can compare with it. TIZ is for sale at all druggists, 25c per box, or direct, if you wish, from Walter Luther Dodge & Co., Chicago, III.

Investigation Needed

1t seems that Clemson college
will soon be brought into the lime.
light through a thorough investiea-
ton into the affairs of the institu.
ton. A bill will. be introduced pro,
.viding for the appointment of a
Joint committee For this purpose.
Owing to the internal strife that has
occurred from time to time and
charges of favoritism extravaganza,
etc., the institution has not only
lost caste to some extent but has
likewise lost its hold upon the peo-
pie. For the good of Clemson, a
searching investigation should be
made.
We believe IL t an Investigation
properly conducted will lead to a
more economic administration of
the affairs of the college and to a
reorganization of the faculty. In
our Judgment, a few designations
are in order.

and experienced workmen in the
piano trade a perform.
Nothing that brains, money and
experience can do to make a thor
oughly high class piano has been
left out in the product of this most
magnificent musical instrument.
We do not believe that as good
value for 100000 has ever before
been offered to the public. We do
not give certificates good or the
purchase of one of these pianos nor
do we take them. MOI have we any
airy scheme connected with the sale
of this piano. We propose, to sell
100 of these pianos at $500 apiece
and unhesitatingly say that it is a
d + thing that any piano as good. is
sold for less than $500. This piano
is warranted for a term of ten years
and the guarantee is backed up by
millions of dollars and an unlimited
credit. 1t also has behind it a quar-
ter of a:century record for straight
forward and honest dealing and the
faithful performance of all abliga-
tons. We stand ready to make
good at any time any and all condi-
tions of the Warranty.

very reasonable request that govern

Yorkto Colon in connection with the
Panama canal work be required to
stop at Charleston. Were this change
made, supplies and other freight
from the west could be shipped di-
rect to Charleston instead of to New
York. 1t would also be more con-
venient for the southern mails to be
forwarded through the Charleston
post-ofice. Senator Tillman's appeal
to President Taft is, thoughtful,
timely and in order, but so many
appeals in C~harleston's behalf
would not be necessary. if the peo-
pie of the staid old city would be

Doubtless the reason others are
not disposed to help Charleston,

the Charleston people do not help

to Charleston Atlanta's population
