LUMBER PLANT SHUTS DOWN.
Santee River Cypress Lumber Com
pany Quits Work.

The Santee River Cypress Com
pany at Ferguson has shut down be-
cause it is said that the big corpo-
ration has not been making any mon
ey. The Santee River Cypress Lum-
Der. Company is the second largest
lumber concern in the State and the
lumber trade will feel the effects of
such a big plant shutting down.
Saturday evening, when the plant
shut down over Sunday, a notice was
posted that the plant would be shut
down from then on for the next six
months or longer. 1t is understood
that all of the logging camps were
called out of the swamp some time
ago and it was reported at the time
that the plant would shut down as
soon as all the timber then on the
yard was cut up. a
All of the skidders have been box
ec UP and those who have recently
been there states that everything in
dicates that the plant will not open
up at any time soon. Mr.. Francis
Bedler, the chief owner is now at
Ferguson and it is rumored plans are
now under way for the sale of the
plant, but how much truth can be at
tached to this rumor is not known.

1.-THE Girl From RectOr's."

The Atlanta Journal of September
10th, says:
"The Grand opera house, under
the management of William Arthur
Mattice, threw open its doors to the
ater-goers Of the season of 1911--12,
Saturday afternoon, with "The Girl
from Rector's." The matinee, by the
way, likewise marked the beginning
of the winter theatrical season in
this city, a season that promises more
to the patrons of the drama in At
laDta than they have ever had before.
"The Girl from Rector's' is as
good as it's reputation. 1t was a play
that contains little narration, all the
accidents and surprises taking place
before the, eyes of the audience;
nothing is told, it is all found out;
and it is .ound out in such a man
ner and under such circumstances
that the audience is kept in constant
laughter. The plot involves several
married couples who are more or less
in love with half of the other couple,
and, truly, there is much to be found
out.
There was not weak spot in the
cast. Miss Dorothy Dalton, in the
role Of "The Girl Louie Sedaine,
takes her part exceptionally well.
Graceful, pretty, and displaying an
excellent voice and dancing ability in
the one song of the play, she scored
decided hit The men are all good
and of about equal ability. Each
character is important enough to
have a chance and as each charac-
ter stands for a different type of
humor, the variety in the chances
is decidedly pleasing. The same may
be said of the three other women
characters in the play.
ION the whole The Girl from Rec
tors may be described as a hopeless
tangle. in which each one OF the char
acters is strand involved in the
krot. How the knot is finally
straightened out is indescribable and
funny. and therein lies the amuse-
ment of the play
This show will be seen at the Acal-
emy OF Music Friday evening, Nov.
18th.

NEWS OF THE THEATRE.
Several Good Shows Booked for This
Place During Fair Week.
"Th,s Rosary

! .Ths Rosary"
Can an evil mind breeding evil
thoughts exert an adverse influence
upon an entire family, bring that
family to ruin, and the members Of
the. household remain in Ignorance
of the reason for their unhappiness?
This is the question that "The
Rosary" beautiful new play from
the pen of Edward E. Rose and pro-
duced by Messrs. Rowland and Cliff
ford, answers in the affirmative. It
will be seen at the Academy of Music
next Monday might.
To prove the situation, typical
American family is shown; young
wife, her devoted husband, their
friends and the material surround
|ings which wealth can produce.
Then comes PAIRING note, sd
slight that even the most sensitive
could hardly hear it. Rather it is a
subtle discord of the atmosphere. No
ono knows when it comes or the rea-
son Of it's being; but it grows
grows, more, and more apparent.
Now, it.. swells into. suspicion and
doubt, then blind rage and the house
hold is rent, it's happiness gone.
: Then rises the other power, high
er spiritual note, which swells upon
the ear until its beauty and divine
harmony bring the discordant souls
of the family back to peace and full
accord. .
Conditions such as are shown in
"The Rosary exist in many Ameri-
can homes today. In some the cause
has only just begun; in others misery
and sorrow are always at the door.
But "The Rosary in any case points
the way to happiness and peace. Its
production has been made not so
much with an idea Of profit as for
the higher purpose of bringing hap
piness to the American home.
'The Rosary" comes direct from
a three months run in Chicago, an
other company is proving the sea-
sons dramatic sensation in New
York City, where it is crowding the
Garden Theatre nightly.

His Face Was His Fortune

One man in English history owed
his success in life almost wholly to
his good looks. 1t was George Villiers,
first duke of Buckingham. James
was wanting a private secretary, and
when young Villiers applied for the
position the king was mucn impressed
with the beauty of his person and the
gracefulness of his manners. He gave
him to place, and that was the be-
ginning of great career. From that
time to the end of James reign the
history of England was in great part
the personal history of George Villiers,
the adventurer. First the cup bearer;
in a few weeks knighted; then made
Gentleman of the Bedchamber and
Knight of the Garter; then successive
ly he was made baron, viscount, earl,
marquis and Lord High Admiral of
England. All these titles and honors
were showered upon him within a
very few years. Of course he had
some ability, especially In the way of
political shrewdness; but his hand
some face and his elegant bearing
were his chief recommendations

THE WEATHER

Just take the weather as it comes and
never make a fuss,
Don't you suppose the good Lord
knows just what is best for us?
Then don't find fault on summer days
because it is too hot,
Make up your mind to take what
comes-you'll find it helps a lot.
You can't improve on things, you
know, no matter how you fret;
Fussing won't make a hot day cool
or make a dry spell wet;
In fact, the more you fuss the more
unhappy you will be.
And nobodyll admire you-take that,
now straight from me.
We need all sorts of weather, and
were going to get it, too;
The program won't be changed at all,
not even to please you.
So make the best of what we have
and do not fret and fuss,
And you can make a humid day seem
quite luxurious.
