Man Here
Thursday

Do you know what a grouchtcide Is?
1t is a sort Of mental healing which
you can't help swallowing. 1t made
its first appearance at the Bijou thea
tire, New York last fall, when 1t took
the form of "The Lottery Man" a
new comedy by Rida Johnson Young,
which the Messrs. Shubert presented
will be at the Grand opera house
next Thursday, November 7, The
comedy enjoyed a prosperous engage
ment in New York, so much so that
It has not been EEL in any other city.
Following their policy recently adopt
ed, of not putting out second" com
panies, the Shuberts have Saved"
the original New York cast of 1.-THE
Lottery Man." which means that To-
cal theatre-goers will have the OPP
portunity Of seeing as fine a company
Of farceurs as was aver put togeth-
or.
Mr.. Herbert Thayer plays the role
OF Jack Wright, reporter of a New
York paper, who borrows money of
the paper, promising, II he fails to
return the sum to produce the biggest
and most interesting scoop" the pa
per has ever had. OF course, he loses
the money in a stock transaction.
His idea of a scoop is to announce a
lottery scheme with himself as the
prize. Coupons are sold for a dollar
a piece, and an old maid named Liz
zie, steals the lucky prize-winning.
Wright, meantime, has fallen in love
with Helen Heyer, and all hands set
about to recover the coupon. 1t is only
after threat of arrest that the spin
ster disgorges and the curtain falls
on a happy scene-happy for all but
the disappointed old maid, who be-
lieved she had finally won a hand
some young husband.

THE COUNTY FUND LAW
FOR THE HIGH SCHOOLS

The county fund law for hlgt
schools will be on the ballot for adop.
ton or rejection in Marion county al
the coming election.
The following are some Of the
points in favor Of this law:
/. Put all of the property in the
county behind the high school educa-
ton Of every boy and girl in the
county.
2. Abolish tuition charges.
3. Encourage country high schools
thus enabling country boys and girls
to remain at home while going to
school.
4. Cost is small, less than 4-1O of
a mill.
8. Corporations and timber lands
will help educate country boys and
girls, as well as those in town.
6, Each high school in the coun-
try, no matter how small, gets its
share OF the fund.
7, None Of the fund goes to pay
for buildings or apparatus, Every
cent will be paid to the teaching
force in the high schools of the coun-
ty.
8. The law states how the fund
shall be distributed. $40 for each Of
the first 20 pupils in the high school,
$50 for each Of the next 20 pupils,
and $3.50 for each pupil over 40 in
the high school. Thus the small high
school is given the advantage,
9. The law is a success in adjoln-
ing counties.
10. II this law is not adopted, set
coming here from the eastern
will settle in adjoining coun-
ties, where they can live on the farm
and educate their children in a coun-
try high school near at home.
l trust that every voter in Marion
county will give his approval to this
measure, which means so much, not
only for the schools, but for the de-
yelopment Of the agricultural inter-
ests Of this county.
Vote 122 Y yes, county high school

Great Play
at Grand
Tonight
SCENE IS LAID IN BULGARIA AND
is OF PECULIAR INTEREST JUST
NOW on ACCOUNT OF THE
GREAT WAR THERE.

However tickle the theatre-goinl
people Of America and Europe may be
to nine-tenths Of the ephemereral pro-
dUctlons that pass across the stage,
they are notably faithful to their ia
vorites. The universal demand for
another season of The Chocolate Sol
der" the exquisite Yiennese opera
by Oscar Straus, founded on that brill
liant compound Of romance, comedy
ard satire by George Beranrd Shaw,
arms and the Man." has compelled
Mr.. Whitney to assemble again the
Whitney Opera company and send
1.-THE Chocolate Soldier" out across
the country on its third season Of set
ting millions laughing with its spir-
tied comedy and intoxicating them
with the varied beauties OF its melo-
dies.
The king Of modern light operas
will be presented in this city at the
Grand opera house tonight. The temp
tations offered by the scenes of the
play, which are laid in the mountain
defles Of Bulgaria, have spurred Mr..
Whitney to extraordinary efforts in
investing the piece with realistic eff
forts in the matter Of scenery. The
strange peasant and military costumes
were made especially for the produc-
ton OF Bulgarian handicratsmen, and
much Of the furniture used in the inte-
riors was purchased from actual
households in Bulgaria by Mr.. Whit
ney, who spent many weeks in that
land during the past three years,
studying the manners and costumes
OF the people. The production Of THE
Chocolate Soldier" which he is offer
ing this yetc is marked by an even
greater degree Of elegance and vivid
ness than heretofore.
The Whitney Opera company is en-
inently fitted to cope with the difficult
ties OF both score and libretto. Mr..
Whitney's cardinal principle in select
ing his companies is that every role, :
from the managers point Of view, is a
leading role, and requires all the care J
that is generally given to filling the
Star part, in witness whereof at
tached is a copy Of the program in the
matter Of the artists appearing: Rena
Viyienne, Ilion Bergere, Lucille Saun-
ders, Charles Purcell, J. Russell Pow
ell, Hazel Frazier, Sylvan Langlols,

sued call in which it is said: This
is certainly an Opportune time to hold
your cotton and thereby get much bet
ter prices than are now prevailing
with short crop and a splendid de-
mand for the manufactured products
OF cotton, and the banks willing TO
lend money on warehouse receipts at
o per cent, every farmer should be
able to hold the greater part Of his
crop and at the same time liouidate
his debts. Farmers, think before it is
too late. You have the situation in
Your hands. Use it for your own
good and the good of others"

FERMENTATION OF HAIL.
Destroyer Used i'm France Will Save
Farmers $40. 900 "A Year.

A new hail destroyer is about to be
put TO use in France on a large scale.
The device is strangely like an i'm
mense lightning rod of absolutely pure
copper and it is grounded by copper
conductors, says Popular Electricity.
According to the theory Of the inven-
tors these instruments, by their effect
upon currents of atmosphere electri-
city, are we'll able to prevent the for
nation and fall of hailstones.
The government Of the French re-
public through a special commission
OF senator's and deputies, is trying
the invention in several places, and
has inaugurated campaign Of edu-
cation in rural districts upon the
value Of electrical conductors as pre-
ventives Of the disastrous hail
storms.
A chain of hail destroyers Of the
new kind is now being constructed in
valuable vine-growing neighborhoods,
which have heretofore suffered raw
ages from hailstorms. The depart
ments of the Gironde, the Beaujolais,
the Loire Inferieure and the Charante
are all notable sufferers
Americans fail to grasp the terrible
damage wrought by hail in France.
Each year the losses exceed the ap-
proximate estimation Of from $1,000
900 to $30,000,0OO. That is constantly
increasing and will cause the expert
ments with the new hail destroyer to
be extended and the system to be
greatly improved.
To determine the efficiency Of the
new invention with any degree OF ac-
curacy, it is realized that systematic
tests over long period will be neces-
sary. To supervise this committee
has been formed from among the rep
resentatives Of the French govern
ment.
The notion that electricity is largely
concerned with the formation, crystal
ization and precipitation Of hailstones
was first promulgated by engineers of
the French Academy. The copper
maidstone killer" is called technical
ly "puaragrele." 1t has multiple
points and is capable of withdraw
ing immense quantities Of electrons
from the clouds to the earth. Thus
the hailstones are prevented from
forming and lightning is carried off
at the same time.

Of the lungs by the ether that was
given him when his leg was cut off.
Rugh had no relatives, and since

Get Good Roads.

You can have any kind OF road
you are willing to pay for. The
poorer they are the more you pay.
The greatest objection to improv-
ing roads is the cost. People say,
I'VE cannot afford to improve our
roads"
Do you realize that your bad roads
are costing you enough each year
to make those roads permanently
good?
Do you know that bad roads are
costing you actual cash in the loss Of
your own time, in the extra hauling
and in the extra wear on harness,
wagon and horses
Do you know that where bad roads
have been made good farm values
have increased enormously?
Do you know that the counties
which have improved their roads are
grow many times faster than coun-
ties Mich still have bad roads?
Outside of the dollars and cents
difference to you between good and
bad roads you can make school life
better, church life more pleasant, So
cial life happier-you can improve
every condition Of rural life by just
one thing-get good roads.-Calhoun

10 the Farmers of Sumter County:
The Sumter Chamber Of Commerce
being very anxious that Sumter coun-
ty should be creditably represented at
the National Corn Exposition at CO.
iumbia, beginning Jan. 9th next,
have decided to ask the cooperation
of the farmers in a county corn exhib-
ition at the Court House on the 18th
of November.
At this exhibition small prizes will
be awarded for first and second best
ten ears white corn, ten ears yellow
corn, first and second best single ears
white and yellow corn and first and
second on ten stalks prolific corn.
those making the best exhibits being
expected to send them on up to the
State exhibition to be held in Column
bia in December, preliminary to being
sent up to the National Exposition, if
of sufficient merit.
1T is also the desire of those in
oition to make it of direct, actual
benefit to every one taking part, and
to this end we ask that every partici-
pant bring twice as many ears in each
class as he expects to enter, SO that
atter lecture by d Clemson expert
on seed selection, he can then make
nf
his own judgment, and after he has
done this, the expert TO go over his
work with him and make such
Changes in that selection as he deems
best, explaining his reasons therefor
as 1t is done, in this way giving prac-
tical information which will be Of
great benefit if put into operation
on the farm. After the expert helps
each man in this way to get the best
possible selection from his corn, each
exhibit will then he judged on its
merits and prizes awarded according
ly.
We earnestly hope that we shall
nave the hearty cooperation OF the
farmers in this matter and that il
Will result in "A meeting which will
do credit 10 the old Game Cock coun-
", as we'll as prove of much practical
beneft To all concerned
There will be no admission fee
