with the character and extent of home

Two hundred and fifty Of Daven-

banquet table the other evening and
were confronted with menu as long

the names Of food products made in
Davenport. The dining room Of the
club house, the lobby and in fact every
available space were filled with the ex-
hibits of food stuffs made in Daven-

Then other manufacturers whose pro-

were served with a dinner which would
have cost SO or 81 a plate perhaps. had

statement: "a number of NeWber
people will remember that my trst
appearance before the foot-Eghts was
in this city as slown in an entertain
inert given by the graded school IN
the opera house here about Is years
ago. Since my boyhood days I have
studied the business and when the first
opportunity presented itself I grasp
ed it. Ny first real experience-that
is receiving a salary-was at Ealry-
land theatre in Columbia. Here Il
worked for two weeks putting on
monologue and songs. After this en-
gagement was closed was persuaded
by the manager to accept position
with him as stage manager, where L
remained for sometime, running theI
stage and working in negro acts. l
then went to the Little Grand, where
I worked for about six months, acting
in the same capacity as at Falryland.
When the Grand, one Of the most popu-
lar and largest vaudeville houses ever
erected in the South, was opened,
accepted position as stage manager
and assistant house manager. The
manager and myself later opened al
theatrical booking agency, and this
compelled me to work a great many
Vaudeville houses when other acts
could not be secured. Later I went
to Sumter to manage the Lyric thea
tire, then to Raleigh, N. c., at the
Grand, where I remained only a short
time. Here 7 Joined Jno. B. Wills
Musical Comedy company, and started
to travelling. T remained with him
quite a long time, but was compelled
for two reasons to return home-one
two and a half and the other four and

All the blood in the body passes through
the kidncas once every three minutes. The
kidneys filter the blood. They york night

about 800 grains Of impure matter daily
when unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood This brings ON

DemOeraoy's Chance

Opportunity is knocking boldly
and with a show of confidence at
the door Of Democracy. Certain
and large reward awaits the Dem
ocratic party If its representatives
IN the Sixty second Congress, call
ed in extraordinary session, dispatch
expeditlously and in an orderly
manner the work before them.
Reward or punishment will lie ex-
actly in proportion to the degree of
sanity and sagacity exhibited in at
tending to the comtrys affairs.
Business is sick and detected. 1t
needs rest. It's representatives are
distraught by reason of too much
Legislation. Tho extra session of
the Sixty. second Congress should
dispose promptly of the business for
which it was called into action and
then adjourn. The country is
a weary of tiresome exploitation of
theory and fancy. 1t is in no mood
to be bored throughout the heated
summer months with long-dI avn
out session of Congress. The pub
lie generally seems to approve of
the Presidents recipI ocity treaty
with Canada. and will doubtless
look with favor upon the Congress
that ratifies it. If there is to be
further revision of the tariff, such
action can easily be deferred until
the regular session of Congress be-
gins in December. This would
give time fer proper consideration
of the schedules to be modified and
changed, AID would enable the
Democratic majority to go about
its work then with confidence and
certainty
1t is more thar likely that the
as'ute Republican members Of the
House will in one way or another
endeavor to plunge the Democratic
majority into all sorts of follies and
predicaments. They can do this in
no more certainway than to inveigle
their political opponents into open
ing up the tariff schedules at this
time. The Democrats should be-
ware of Greeks bearing gifts"
1t is up to tie Democratic major
ity to demonstrate tha! the conf
dence reposed in their party at the
last election was not misplaced.
Tie fruits Of victory will be but as
Dead Sea apples or as ashes unless
it shows to the country that it is
master of the science of legislation,
but it recognizes tho condition,
ne: dis and wants Of the nation, and
that it has power within itself to re-
strain hysfcria, to refrain from IDIOT
&c lawmaking, and to Justify in
every sense the complete confidence
of the public. Enquirer.
