ayers who are complaining of poor
business. Variety points out that
much of the Indifference shown by
theatregoers of the provinces, So
called, to metropolitan offerings billed
as the Original production with ex-
actly the same cast as seen on Broad
way" is due to the fact that the
aforesaid theatregoers have been
duped once too often. Managers have
made practice during recent years
of covering the country with "No. 81
"No. g." mo. A." "No. S" and even
mo. 6" companies, hoping to rake in
the shekels while the play is at the
height of it's popularity. Even the
mo. l" company, when it takes the
road, nine times out of ten is not the
original New York company, except
ing the star and occasionally one or
two principals. In the first place,
managers cheaper their road shows
and cut down expenses by substituting
people who do not command such high
salaries and are not SO well known as
those who appeared in the original
cast. The star is usually retained in
the "No. l" company, but quite often
the satellites are left behind. Some
times it happens that the substitutes,
being ambitious and hardworking,
prove themselves as capable as their
predecessors, but this does not happen
often. Then, of course, it is impossi-
BILE to have the original star in more
than one company at time, SO that
the "No. 2,' '"No. g." "No. A." "No. 5"
and the "No. 6" companies suffer in
comparison. AS a rule, the extra
companies during the first season
have about the same merit. The
chances, are that the next season, if
the play is success and another tour
would appear to be profitable, the
various companies sent out are still

Mr.. Faversham's ambitious revival
of Julius Caesar" seems to have met
with unqualified approval. A book
let recently sent out by Mr.. Faver-
sham's publicity agents contains many
flattering notices relating to the pro-
duction of this famous play and the
company taking part in its perform
ance. Critics who have an inter-
national fame speak in terms of high
est praise regarding the Faversham
revival. 1t was an undertaking worth
while and in every way an artistic
triumph. Whether or not the ven
ture has been found financially profit

Mr.. Faversham is to be commended
for devoting his abilities to dramatic
offering which lends tone and distinc-
tion to the stage.

that in the Central South the wealth
er permitted the growing of these
crops right along, and the difference
in transportation charges from the
Central South to the North and from
here to the North shut Florida out
of the market on the vegetables
named. You see, it is about as far
from here to Charleston, sc, as it is
from Charleston to Philadelphia.
Therefore, the Florida trucker must
needs raise something that cannot
be grown in South Carolina or Vir-
ginia or must raise certain stuff alta
time when it cannot be grown there.
Otherwise he is not in the game.
Hence, those farmers down here who
were wise enough to diversity are
coming out on tomatoes, cucumbers.
celery, pepper, etc, although they
had to plough under their cabbage
and lettuce.
There has not been a day this win
ter that one could not work out
doors in comfort, and rarely was q
coat needed. Overcoats are owned
only by invalids and Northern tour
lists. There is only one chimney
within mile of us. Some few peo-
pie have heaters. The others go to
the kitchens and gather around the
cook stoves when the mornings are
too cool to be comfortable in other
parts of the house.
One fact, however, there is no de-
nying, and this is that the little cold
we have pinches like fury. When a
cool change comes suddenly, and
sometimes it comes that way, one
will shiver and almost imagine he
could freeze, Notwithstanding the
thermometer in front of his nose
shows that the temperature is more
than fifty degrees warm. Of course
he could not freeze if he tried to.
but continued warmth during very
nearly the entire year relaxes the
system and reduces the clothing to
such an extent that even a little
sudden cool air comes as shock.

But after that his luck went wrong.
Days passed and there was no fur

apples went bad and had to be thrown

A WONDERFUL CLINE
IS THAT OF SOUTH FLA,
LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
SUMMER AND WNTER---TRUCK
PRODUCTS UP AND GROWING.

Editor County Record
Now that | have passed through a
portion of one winter and the whole
of another in South Florida, | pre-
sumo that l am in position to say
something more about what is prob
ably the most wonderful thing con-
nected with the State and that is its
climate. Really it is no exaggeration
to say that this climate is wonder
full. At any rate, l so regard it. The
natives do not realize this; those
who have never spent winter here
can form but little idea of it; but to
one who has lived elsewhere it is
something that cannot be expressed
save in terms that seem to others
hyperbole.
So far as temperature is concern.
ed there is less difference between
the summers and winters here than
between the springs and summers in
Eastern South Carolina. Our win
ters compare with your Aprils and
our summers with your Mays. Three
times during this winter there has
been enough frost to be seen early
in the morning upon tin roofs, but
those were hardly true frosts. They
appeared Immediately after cool
rains, and only such substances as tin
and the like were reduced in tenn.
perature sufficiently low as to con.
dense the moisture to the frost point,
and then this point was barely reach
ed. These frosts did absolutely no
harm. Even sweet potato vines, to.
matoes and other tender plants were
so far from being killed that they
showed no signs of even the slight
est injury. The natives say, how
ever, that this winter has been lit
tie warmer than have been some
winters. Now and then a winter
comes that kills these plants when
in the open, and even ice has been
seen; and then again there are win
ters without even a sign Of frost.
Therefore, conclude that this win
ter is about the medium.
It is difficult for me to speak of
this winter in the present tense, for,
although it is only the first day of
March, and according to the calen-
dar, winter will reign twenty days
longer, things around me give the
impression and more that we are in
the midst of spring. The naples
bloomed in January; the young grass
on the cattle ranges is we'll up and
growing; and two weeks ago the
woods were full of vlolets. The
spring crops of beans, cucumbers
tomatoes. corn, watermelons and sc
on, are up and growing and some Of
these are blooming.
By the way, the warm winter ir
