THE COMMON LAW"
TOMORROW NIGHT

Tomorrow night should mark red
letter event in the history of local
theatricals for the reason that The
Common Law is the play to be Of
fered
This has been a long-anticipated
pleasure on the part of our lovers of
real dramatic offerings
The Common Law" as may we'll be
surmised, is dramatization, or more
properly said, an adaptation from Rob-
ert w. Chambers phenomenally sue
cesful book of fiction, story which
is unsurpassed in point of sensational
interest while furnishing many new
thoughts upon the marriage problem
1t is withall story so humane and
so refreshing from the conventional
kind that it is small wonder that so
many readers have given it serious
consideration, above the usual class CT
fiction to which this work belongs.
The management has taken no lit
tie pains in presenting "The Common
Law" as a production well in touch
with the progressive ideas entertain
ed by the average theatregoer.-

NET DEATH
AS result
Of WOUND
INFLICTED BY AN ACCIDENT
Mr.. Page Killed By GuRShOt
Wound

An accident, resulting in the death
of Mr.. William P. Page occurred Sat
urday morning near his home on Lee
street road. In the accidental dis
charge of his gun, while out hunting,
Mr.. Page was instantly killed, the
heavy load of birdshot taking effect
in the back of his head. Information
of the accident was quickly sent to the
city, and DR.. w. S. Prather responded
to the call, but there was nothing to
be done, as death had been instan-
taneous.
Mr. Page, accompanied by. a young
son, Frank, had gone hunting While
crossing a small stream upon a foot
log he slipped and fell, the hammers
of the gun striking the log and dis
charging the piece. The entire charge
struck at a distance of but few
inches, literally shooting out his
brains.
The lad who witnessed his fathers
tragic death rescued the body from
the stream and hurrying home con-
veyed the distressing intelligence to
the family. Mr.. Page was one of
Sumter's best known citizens, and his
tragic death is generally deplored in
Americas and throughout the county
Many friends went at once to the
stricken home to tender expressions
of sympathy and offer their kindly
services.
Mr.. Page was about ffty-eight
years of age and a native of Sumte~
county, where he had ever been held
in highest esteem. A man of progress
sive ideas, and successful in all bust
ness affairs; honest, upright and es-
teemed, his death is loss to his
county and community
Mr.. Page is survived by his wife,
nine sons and daughters; Mrs.
George Rogers, Mrs Sheppard Pryor,
Messrs William Leonard, Hugh,
Frank, John, Edwin, and Miss Annie
Laurie Page, and by one sister, Mrs
John A. Mcdonald, of Plains, now the
last remaining member of a family OF
ten sisters and brothers.
The funeral services will take place
at Oakgrove cemetery this afternoon
at o'clock.

COMBINE IS
Being FORMED
TO ELECT BACON
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
viii Pool Their Votes to Put
Georgian in Chair

Washington. Nov. 23.-Washington
political circles are stirred over ne
gotiations now said to be in progress
between the democrats and progress
sives to effect a coalition for the pur-
pose of controlling the organization
of the present senate after it con-
venes in December and to elect Sena-
tor A. o. Bacon, of Georgia, president
pro tempore.
The fruits of the pact which will
come to the progressives will be
larger representation on the Finance
committee of the next senate. At pres
ent the powerful Finance committee
is composed of nine republicans and
six democrats. With the democrats
going into power, they will re-organ-
lie the committee. The progressives
want at least four members of the mi
nority, which will leave only two ta
the regular republicans.
Senators Penrose, Lodge McCumber
Smoot and Clark, all republican regu.
lars, will naturally want to continue
as members of the committee They
| will be members of the next senate
| To give them places on the commit.
tee would freeze out all progressives
Senator LaFollette would lose his
place. The compact with the demo
Gratis is said to keep not only Senator
LaFollette on the committee, but tC
give three other progressives places.
The Finance committe at the ex-
ira session will handle all tariff leg
islation 1t will also look after the
new monetary legislation. Its work
will consequently be important.
The election of Senator Bacon pres
ident pro tempore will settle fight in
the senate over this position The
upper house has never been able q
agree upon a man, and during Vice
President Shermans absence at he
last session Senator Bacon and Sena-
tor Gallinger alternated as chairman
pro tempore. The republican progress
sives refused to support Senator Gal
linger as permanent chairman pre-
tempore
Owing to the death of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman the president pro tenn
pore of the senate will get a salary
of $4,000 the amount paid the vice
president.
