GETTING READY FOR BIG MEET,
The Fact that there is a Law Against
Gambling Not Bother
ing Promoters.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Active preliminary preparations at
Palmetto Park, the continued arrival
of race track devotees, the already
large strings of race horses now IN
quarters at the track, and the expect
ed arrivals of more horses in the next
few days, the buzz of ante-season gos-
sip, all indicate that unless something
unforeseen happens, the second an
nual race meet of the Charlston Fair
and Racing Association will open on
January 25, as announced by the pla-
cards posted in various parts OF the
city, and in the show windows OF va
rious business houses.
Keenest expectancy is evidenced on
every hand by the followers of the turf,
who are already here, and the posslDll-
ty that the meet may not be helo
seems not to be given serious conslde-
ration. Whether there is any real hope
on the part of the promoters that the
legislature may take such favorable
action as would allow them TO go
ahead with the meet under the law is
not known; nor is there anything
more definite than the gossip OF the
streets to suggest the methods OF pro-
cedure which will be followed in the
event the legislature Goes nothing. the
racing people, the owners of horses
and others, have been told positively
that there will be racing; as to the
conditions under which it will be held
there is only speculation.
While it is not known definitely, 1t
has been stated that there are more
horses here this season than last, the
number now being something over
six hundred. The only big stable mere
last year and not here this year is that
of r. F. Carmen, while there are sew
eral, big owners here this year VINO
did not come in 1912, AS to the race
followers, the indications are that
there will be more of them than last
year. Every train brings in new ar
rivals, and the opinion is prevalent
that the crowd will far exceed that OF
last year.
Prominently displayed in many snow
windows are placards announcing tne
date. January 25. Improvements and
remodelling, it is stated, have been
going on and continue at Palmetto
Park. Tryouts with the horses tna'
are here go on every day under olE-
ection of the trainer and jockeys tnat
have taken up quarters at the park

"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"

"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
1t is to be inferred the majority
of Newberry book-readero followed the
wanderings and love story Of the prlm-
tive mountain girl, June, in John Fox,
Jr.'s delightful story, "The Trail OF
the Lonesome Pine" which will be
seen at the opera house next Monday
night
Few stories, even though they be
part fiction and part truth, have been
written with the compelling heart-in-
terest that the author of this thrilling
story of the Virginia hills, has sus-
tanned in every page of his narrative.
Therefore, it was with some trepida-
tion that Eugene Walter, brilliant
dramatist though he is, approached
the task set for him, to bring out OF
the book a stage June, that would ap-
peal as strongly to theatre-goers as
the book June appealed to readers.
That Mr.. Walter has accomplished
his task is evidenced already by the
appreciation of the producers of the
play, as we'll as the public and auth
or. Mr.. Walter has taken a rough, un-
educated, enormously superstitious
and ina ginative mountain girl, and
made her a delightful creature. He
has brought out all the possibilities
of the June of the book, catching the
significance of Mr.. Fox's cleancut
characterization and the exquisite
poetry and drama Of his dominating
love theme.
The play contains no problem, no
question of sex dominance, but is ao-
solute in the purituy of its sentiment
the uplift of it's moral, the poetry OF
its romance. A genuine man takes an
interest in a simple girl. He antlcl-
mates her wish to be sent into the
world to be educated and in his great
goodness arouses in the heart OF the
girl something greater than mere atfec-
ton: an over-mastering love. In fact'
June expects all along that Hale VIII
marry her, and when she expresses the
great love she bears him, and he tells
her he can not think of marriage, poor
little June imagines she isn't good
enough for him, and pitifully disillu-
stoned, she sends for her father. to

that in very few years millions OF
