miss TOpSy Turvy"

miss Topsy Turvy," presented at
Mason's Opera House last Tuesday
night by the graduating Class Of Snow
Hill High School, in lieu of other class
night exercises, was enthusiastically
received by very large audience. 1t
proved to be one Of the most enjoy
able entertainments held in the opera
house for many months. professionals
not excepted. In fact, we believe the
audience enjoyed this farce more than
anything they have had the pleasure Of
seeing for a long while. Miss Topsy
Turvy is a mischievous young Miss. up
to all kinds Of practical jokes on the
older members of her family and the
neighbors. Miss Francis Golden is
Topsy's partner in these escapades.
Lord Clarence, of England. comes to
America. and the play then centers
about him. "donn't you know. with Top
sy and Francis giving him all kinds of
jolies. Miss May Golden determined
to marry his Lordship for his title and
and his cash. Topsy awakens to the fact
that she loves the Englishman, and
she tries to dssuade May from wanting
to marry him so unworthily. His Lord
ship overhears their conversation, and
surprises everybody by transferring
his affections to Topsy Turvy and claim
ing her for his bride. AS the play pro-
ceeds, Deacon Jones and Miss Spriggs,
Topsy S governess, do some tall counting,
and finally hitch up. The deacon's.
new wife finds that matrimony without
a servant in the house is what Gen.
Sherman said about war. Ned the
negro house servant of Mrs. Clarendon,
who helps everybody, and is always in
the way, adds much to the play. and
the character was splendidly sustained
by Mr.. Charles Adkins,
Topsy Turvy. Miss Margaret Straughn.
was splendidly characterized. Lord
Clarence. Mr.. Cleveland Bailey, was
fine. Deacon Jones, Mr.. William
Holloway, and Miss Spriggs, Miss Mar
gle Riley, fitted right into their parts
and created much mirth. In fact, every
character was well sustained. Miss
Daisy Jones as Mrs. Clarendon; Miss
Fannie Nelson. as May Golden; Miss
Emily Upshur, as Francis Golden; Mrs.
Golden, Miss Sarah Goodman, all were
everything they should have been.
We cannot refrain from saying here
that the Snow Hill orchestra, with Rev.
w. F. Allen, as director. gave us some
splendid music.

State Central Committee to
Meet.

The State Central Committee for both
the Democratic and Republican parties
will meet in June. Democratic chairman
Vandiver said Saturday that the com
mitteemen of his party would be called
together early in the month, probably
during the first week. Republican chair
man Hanna thinks that the Republicans
will assemble about the middle of the
month.
One of the important subjects that
will occupy the attention of the party
men will be the new primary election
law passed at the last session Of the
legislature. Its provisions demand Off
cial Interpretation, as portions of it are
regarded as confusing. Both commit
tees will probably authorize the respec-
tive chairman to agree on a date for the
primaries, and also for the convention
that must follow them for the selection
of candidates for Governor, Attorney
General and State Comptroller.

GOVERNOR jOHNSOkS
 ARGUMENT FOR RECALL
It Is One Frequently Heard on This Side O. the State
 Line

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Sept. 19- Governor Hiram W. Johnson spoke here tonight in a campaign of the state for the initiative and referen dunn. and particularly for the recall of the judiciary He said: We are willing to trust our judges with the recall hanging over them, and when our friends say it will warp and twist the judge so he won't do his duty, it is they who are insulting the judiciary by that sort of argument and insinua. tion. A great majority of our judges are pure and upright. That kind of a judge will not be affected by the re call any more than by the power of any litigant in the courts, and when a judge is affected by the power of any litigant you have a right to put him of the bench.
 If the people in the aggregate are not to be trusted to pass upon the qualifications of any officer elected by them, why, of course, government is at an end, the experiment has been tried, and this country has been a total, dismal failure"
