"Introduce Me-"

There is considerable of the unique
as well as the interesting about Della
Clarke, author and also star of the
new comedy. Introduce Ne" that will
be seen at the Grand Theatre, Thurs
day. April II.
Miss Clarke today is the only wo-
man in America, an dit might be said
the entire world, who writes her own
plays, stages them to the last detail
and plays the principal role in each
as it is produced.
Miss Clarke's record as an actress
is too we'll known tc need comment
at this time. She is very happily re-
membersd from the time when she
was an important member of the forces
of Charles Frohman. Her reputation
As an actress was established in those
days and she has been adding con-
stantly to her fame ever since.
It was later that she became a play

her pen has developed are stil cur
rent attractions and firmly entrached
in the favor of the people. Introduce
Me- however, she regards as the best
work she has done in this direction.
But the fact that is not so well
known is that Miss Clarke is her own
stage director and manager. 1t was
not sudden impulse that made Miss
Clarke stage director She fitted
herself FOR this difficult and trying
work after numbe rof years of care
full study, experience and observation.
Books. practical knowledge and the
best of experience were the courses
she pursued until finally she found
herself equipped for the handling of
productions.
Today it would be difficult to find a
person more familiar with every
branch of the stage than is Miss
Clarke, Not only this, but it is that
fine intuition that Nature must give
to the successful stage director that
Miss Clarke possesses to a marked de-
gree.

CONDITION IN SOUTH

Nashville. Tenn. April 4-Ciyic and

ference for Education in the South,
here today The subject was The
Conference for Education in the South
in Relation to Civic and Economic Ad.
vancement in the South
Mr. Craighead first reviewed condi-
tions existing before the civil war
when there were no great industries,
and no great cities, comparatively
speaking. in the South. In this CON
nection he said:
.The educational facilities were
limited to the cities and towns chiefly
The absence of good roads made com
munication in the rural districts diff
cult. Public schools had small and
intermittent patronage. Well-to-dc
people had their. children taught in
private schools or by tutors. or taught
them at home, and had them finished
at northern colleges or universities. "
The speaker then compared the past
with the present conditions, pointing
out striking examples of great pro
gress that has been made. He spoke
of the South's rebuilding. saying that
has now development equal to that
of the North"
The speaker, later referring to inn
migration, said:
I'VE have come now to a new era.
| may call it the era of educational
agricultural and Industrial develop.
ment 1t has been brought about part.
ly by the changed conditions, the new
spirit in the South, and partly by the
economic movement, the immigration
movement into the south, the land
seekers having learned that there is
really little ground to fear that the
South is no place for the INTO live in,
or their children to be raised in. A
point worth mentioning is that the
immigrants are for the most part not
raw foreigners, without experience,
but Americans who have titled the
soil III the west aud know what they
have to do to establish themselves in
a new locality
Closing with a reference to govern

clared: in government there is
every sign that the South-always
honest in its government-is learning

lar government as people. the south

crimes this week, and the police and

Every suspicious person arrested
these days, in this city or vicinity, is
at once marked by the public as Jack
the Shooter. Thursday morning Ho-
mer McNew, young man about 20
years of age, was arrested by Police

GLAZED NUTS EASILY MADE
Winter Delicacy That Is Popular With
Both Old and Young and
Not Costly.

A dainty for the winter table that
may be prepared at home with little
cost Is glazed nuts. Various kinds OF
nuts may be glazed excepting peanuts.
which are not especially good for that
treatment, but none is better than
hickory nuts and butternuts.
Have the meats picked from the
shells. Boil granulated sugar with
enough water to thoroughly dissolve
1t, stirring it as little as possible
When it spins a thread stir In the
nuts and let them cook a very little.
for if left too long on the stove the
oils will be drawn from the nuts. Pour
out on platters, spreading them thin
ly. and when cold they will be found
to separate easily.
Nuts prepared this way are very
nice mixed with homemade candy
About one-half cup of sugar Is sufti'
cient for one-half pint OF nuts.

Improvement of the Russellville sew

ture of last nights session of the city
council, says the Russellville Courier
Democrat.
Mayor J. T. Bullock presided and
all members of the council were pres
ent. The board of commissioners,
composed of r. c.. Brown, w. H. Pat
rick and G.. c. Nugent, appointed by
the city to figure the estimated cost,
stated in their report that it would
require $4,000 to put in the system,
which sum did not include the engin-
GERS and attorneys fees and interest
on the investment. The board thinks
that the fees and interest will run the
cost of the system to about $40 900.
Superintendent of Public Works E.
H. Kingsley of Little Rock, one of
the most competent public service
men in the state, made the estimate
for the board and he was present at
the session of the council last night.
The board of assessors for the dis
trict was appointed last night and is
composed of M. H. Baird, Oscar H.
Wilson and J. D. Williams, and they
will at once begin the work assess
ing the property.
The council has requested all prop
erty owners ont included in the pro-
posed district and who desire their
property to have sewerage connec-
ton, to report at once to the board of
commissioners, where they can make
arrangements and find out the cost
before the contract is let. They are
urged to do this at once in order that
bids on the construction of the sys
tenn may be had by July 2.
The waterworks system has asked
the council the opportunity of making
another test of the pressure and the
same will be given next Wednesday
morning, when the proper nozzles for
the hose will be here. The company
states that at that time it will be able
to give a more complete and satisfac-
tory test of the pressure, and the
council agreed for another test at
that time.
