Death Of Mrs. salne j. shuler.

On January 18th Mrs. Sallie j.
Shuler passed on to that better land
where loved ones had gone to await
her coming. She, had been sick for
a long while, but through 1t all she
bore it patiently and with the spirit
that becomes a true Christian.
From her youth she has been one
,of those never-tirlng church work
ers, always ready to lend a hand,
one who seemed to be anxiously
looking for an opportunity of doing
good. She nursed the sick far anu
near and was ready to send or be
sent. Hers was glorious work and
she was faithful unto the end. It
could rightly be said of her that She
loved her neighbors as herself. She
was devoted. wife and an affection
ate mother and will be missed by all
who knew ner.

....THE SINS q OF THll RATHER" )"
Interested Facts About Thomas DIX
onu's New Play.

Thomas Dixon, author OF "The
Clansman," I" mas written new play,
.tThe Sins OF the Father" which will
be presented under the direction OF
George II. Brennan at the Academy
of Music on Monday night.
In many respects this drama Is
even more remarkable than "The
iClansman,,' marking an epoch In
the dramatic treatment Of the race
problem. !!s! - e .2
In .The Sins OF: the Father"
Thomas Dixon presents the ruin that
threatened to overwhelm a Southern
household from the mixture Of
races. "A beautiful young girl, ward
OF Major Daniel Morton, fancee OF
his son Harry, is suspected Of being
&. sixteenth ablood" negress. Upon
the boy and girl lovers the imDuta-
ton falls as a crushing blow: The
girls soul revolts at the awful dis
closure, but when the Major sets the
case plainly before her she sacrifices
her own happiness TO save her low
er's. * u. ej5, ..,3s
But the boy refuses to believe the
story despite the strong evidence that
supports it. He deAes his father ana
prepares to marry Helen. The Ma
jor'o position is q terrible one. AS
the leader OF the white forces, he has
won strenuous State campaign for
negro tli5franchisement. He returns
to find negroid mongrelism trium-
phant in his own home. Major Nor
ton is a sort Of modern Virginius.
He loves his son, has always cared
for and protected his ward, but there
seems to be no outcome Of the aw-
full situation except in tragedy.
Out OF the interplay Of these three
characters father, son and hapless
girl-NIr. Dixon has fashioned tre-
mendous dramatic struggle, as vital
and elemental as those Of the Greeks
or Of the, masters Pinero and Ihsen.
The deaouementi is as unexpected as
the complications are startling. A
logical, satisfying solution of the rid
die is found. And-relievsng the
Southern life, the fun and love af-
fairs OF the humber folk, the thiev-
fng, capering Andy and the joyful,
overwhelming Minerva.
"The Sins of the Father" will be
played here by a company OF actors
all of whom are metropolitan fav-
orites and including William Owen,
Ruth Fielding, Earl Lee, Wilbur Ma
son, agnes Earle, Cecilia Clay and
Edna Davis. -.

FIRE BUGS WORK ] !.
MEssRs. JENNINGS 8 sMoAK VIC
Tnds OF MCENDIARY.
Their Large Warehouse. Together
with the Goods It Contained, Com
! pletely Destroyed.

~ > = d e 81
In the last week orangeburg has
been visited by three fires, two Of
which being the most destructive
that has occurred here in years.
First, on. last Thursday afternoon,
the cotton warehouse Of Mr.. John
Cart, with nearly one thousand
bales of cotton In :t, was burned.
Then early Monday morning the
residence of Mrs. II. E. Stokes, on
Church street, was partially de-
stroyed before it could be e1-
tinguished by the efficient fire de-
partment.
Then followed the complete de-
struction Of the large and commodi-
QUE warehouse. of Messrs. Jennings
& Smoak, together with It's large
stock Of goods on Tuesday night.
The fire was discovered about half
past twelve o'clock by people living
in the neighborhood, and the alarm
was at once sent in. When discov-
cred, the fire had already made con-
siderable headway, and very little
could be done to save the warehouse
or it's contents.
The warehouse was located on
Sellers Avenue at the end Of Elliott
street, and was owned by DR.. W. S.
Barton. It was built some years ago
and was used one year as tobacco
warehouse. It was a substantially
built house, and was insured for
$4,000, which Is hardly third Of it's
value. Messrs. Jennings & Smoak
were insured to some extent, but
they will lose several thousand dol
lars, besides their temporary dis
arrangement of business.
Near the warehouse was a smaller
wooden building, in which cotton
seed were stored. This building was
not burned, but efforts had been
made to set it on fire by some one.
One Of the doors had been forced
open enough for a man to put his
hand in, and right near the door on
the inside, was some eharred pieces
Of Iightwood and other combustibles,
showing that a FIRE had been set,
but had gone out. At another door
similar evidences Of an effort to fire
the building were plainly evident.
The same fire bug who attempted
TO set fire to the small building, set
fire to the large warehouse. The
warehouse must have been set in sew
eral places, as those VINO first saw
the fire, says it seemed to envelop
the whole building at once. Why
any one should wish to burn out
Messrs. Jennings & Smoak is mys-
terry: They have no enemies that
they know Of. The warehouse may
have been robbed and then set on
fire, but this Isl hardly probable.
These severs! fires have given our
gallant firemen strenuous time, but
they met the fire flend like old vet
erans, and conquered it. Those Of
us who remained in bed, can hardly
realize the hardships to which the
firemen were subjected in having to
meet in quick succession these three
fires. They did fine work, and they
are entitled to the thanks of the en-
tire community. No fire department
could have done any better WORK
than our brave flremen have done in
the last week.
