the many kindnesses shown us during
the recent illness and death Of my
wife and our dear mother. Only those
who have been called upon to pass
through similar sad hours can fully
measure the consolation such sympa-

And let me tell you, that is the way
for us to get a new jail. Borrow the
money and build a modern jail and
pay the money back in small annual
payments. Try the dollar doWn"

say you, Uncle Brigs? You are sure
right. We ought to have a new ano
modern jail. And the grand jury mas
called attention to conditions several
times, but I reckon our legislators are
afraid to do anything without refer
ence to the people. And the people OF
Newberry will vote against any sort
of tax. They are proVerbial on tnae
subject.
There is one other thing. notlce
that the public square is getting ILL.,

davs, and there is scarcely sufficient
room for the wood wagons, and 1ne
winter is coming on, and it might be a
good idea to get the old court house

things. Of course, there is an ordl-
nance against all this, but that is no"

As to the new court house, why
Uncle. Briggs should be. proud that
Newberry has such handsome and
up-to-date temple of justice, and 1t IS
costing so little that no one feels the
burden, and if the people could only
see it, they could get some roads that
would be worth while in the same
way. If you had undertaken; to put
up such a building without gong IN
debt, then you would have heard
something drop. And yet we will
leave little debt for our children, but
the court house will be here too, and
why shouldn't they pay some part OF

it's. Only a convenience law. You
have heard of them, I suppose.

You know, I have been thinking a
good deal lately. You remember told
you once a long time ago that some
times think. You may not believe II,
but it is true all the same. But I have
been thinking. And I am going to tell
you what have been thinking. This
town needs a stirring up. Yes, q rev.
olution. And I am not an anarchist
either. But the town needs to arouse
itself and put a man in the mayors
Office who will go ahead and turn the
old town up side down, and make some
of these old moss. backs sit up and
take notice. A man who will not try,
to please anybody, and who will not
give hoorah whether he
pleases anybody Or not, but
VINO will do things. Yes, sir,
that is my deliberate conclusion.
And if we could just do that or just
get that sort Of man, We would soon
have the best town in the United
States. Of course we have the best
town in South Carolina now already
but we want even more than that
Pave the streets, clean up the grass
and fill up the bitches. Maybe now
that We are to have a recorder we
can get that sort Of man, for that sort
of man has no time nor patience to
act as a police judge. I reckon that Is
what you mean when you say record,

THE DLER.



Another word or two as to Uncle
Briggs and the tearing down OF the
old court house. So far as am con-
cerned personally, it makes very little
difference to me what is done with the
old building. I am frank to say that
if it is to be left as it is it would be
better to tear it down, for it does not
present a very slightly appearance.
Any building will 90 to the bad If it 1s
given no attention. I do maintain,
however, that if it was put in repair
and the town was given permission
OF course that is all that is necessary
to extend the coping around the build
ing to the front and On the sides, and
a nice little park was placed around
the front-one like Chief Bishop is
keeping up around the monument-and
the building was kept In any sort OF
condition, it would be an ideal place
for a rest room for the ladies from
the country-mind you, from the
country-to go and refresh themsel-
YES and to have their bundles sent.
And then there could be conducted in
connection with it a reading room and
library, and the up stairs could be
used for conventions and meetings OF
various kinds. OF course, it would
cost something to do this, but:1 feel
that the town would be glad to bear
this expense.

or to repair the jail, you had Just as
we'll disabuse your mind Of any thing
like unto that. It will: cost all you

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Dollar Princess"

"The Dollar Princess" which was pre- scented at the Jefferson theatre last night, proved to be highly meritorious from a musical and pictorial point of view, but rather lame as to comedy. In save on one or two occasions when Fred Lennon appeared. MT. Lennon has the gift of comedy, but he did not come on until the performance was half over and then he was on the stage but a short while. being visibble only long enough to create the impression that he could be funny if given a chance.
 It would be unjust to disparage "The Dollar Princess as a musical show, however. The music Is rather more ambitious than that of the average mh- sical comedy and approaches the best comic opera. While there were not many Hitting airs of the kind that are readily whistled, practically all the music was good and there were several very pretty numbers. notably a hum ming song, which could have been heard more often without fatigue
 The scenery and costumes were on a sumptuous scale and all in excellent taste. In fact. The Dollar Princess is one of the most eXpensively equipped shows seen here this season. The set eiHs ol lHe ldst act was SuperD ana the colors of many handsome gowns in the gala environment of exposition grounds in London blended with ex- quisite effect.
 Miss Daphne Glenne was the prima donna. She sang well for the most part but was rather awkward. Franklin Far mum as Freddy Smythe had an excel lent voice and acted with spirit w c. Vaudeville as John w. Cowdor lent few comedy touches. and Barbara Babington was acceptable as Olga Eileen Clanford as Daisy danced grace fully and Fred Lennon made the best of his opportunities as a comcal sh man. p q

TREBLE CLIFF GAVE
 FINE PROGRAMME

The Treble Clef club, assisted by Mrs. Marie Stapleton- Murray. dramatic soprano, and Mrs. Edna Gockel-Gussen and Charles Edourd Howe, pianists, gave a concert at the High school auditorium last night. There was no charge for admission, but a thousand or more invitation cards had been is- sued and the audience was therefore large.
 The Treble Clef chorus was lirger than in former years-about 45 voices und under the baton of William Gus sen was in excellent form; never bet ter perhaps. Nearly all of the singers in the Treble Clef at this time are young and that accounted for the singularly fresh tone quality Of the club on this occasion. The chorus was |, well balanced and firm, and 1t kept the pitch; while the shading was fin ished and altogether admirable.
 Mrs. Stapleton Murray proved to be a charming artist. Being former Birmingham "girl' her appearance, now that she has become a professional singer of high rank, gave added inter est to the programme and there coulo have been no disappointment The fact is that few of the artists Wno nave sung here in recent years have given such genuine pleasure as Mrs. staple Y ton Murray. She sang temperamental- ly and with poetic expression and no favorite could have been more cordl- ally received.
 The group for two pianos-Mr. Howe at the inner-player piano-was greatly enjoyed.
 Mrs. Gussen, the accompanist last

The Taftville NIaennerchor's hall, which any society of it's size might well be proud. After improvements that were inaugurated last fall, the building now stands at last in the fin ished stage, and to mark it's compla ton, as we'll as the beginning of a new era in the affairs of the Maennerchor, the formal reception of tonight and to- morrow is arranged.
 Situated most pleasingly on rising land On what was formerly part of the Prentice farm at Taftville, the Maen- nerchor hall commands a beautiful view and surrounded by fine shade trees it is always a cool and airy spot.
