MARIE HEINOR.
My dear little girl, you are one in
about million other little girls who
all want to be actresses. There is
about one chance in a million th>t you
can ever become self-supporting, self
respecting actress. A pretty face and
a singing voice don't make an actress;
neither will the wish to be an actress
make you one. A good actress must be
very strong, must have a good educa-
ton. must be able to work day and
night, and must be able to take all the
discouragements in the world. You
see, it isn't all dancing behind the foot
lights and kissing your hand to the
audience while they applaud you.
If you really want to be a good
actress, study hard and complete your
school education. Learn something
about how to take care of yourself in
a business way. Take all the chances
you get to act in amateur theatricals
Read good books. Read all of Shake
speare's plays and try to understand
them. Study human nature. Then, in
five or six years, ask your mother to
take you to a big city and call on the
theatrical managers and ask if they

get your real hard bumps then.

To Pardon Darlington.

Columbia, January 10.-Governor
Blease stated this afternoon that in
view of the acquittal of c. ]. Hebert
by a jury in Richland county court
to-day he will on Monday grant an
absolute pardon to John Y. CARING
ton, formerly president of the Semi
mole Securities Company, who is now
out on parole. Darlington was con-
victed of breach of trust with fraudu-
lent intent and sentenced to three
years Imprisonment. He was parol-
ed by Governor Blease February 4
1913.
"If home juries acquit men like
Hebert, who resisted extradition to
this State, and the men higher up
are not punished" said Governor
Blease, there is no use keeping the
home boys in jail or under parole. .
The governor added: There is nc
use trying any more Seminole cases
while l am governor. J. Stobo
Young, secretary of the Seminole Sc
curities Company, was some time ago
pardoned by Governor Blease.

LEVER WINS IN EDIsTO FIGHT.
Engineers Board to Recommend
$685. ZOO Appropriation.

Orangeburg, January 10.-Mr.
William L. Glover, the indefatigable
leader in the fight for the improve
ment of the North Edisto River from
this point to the sea, received from
Congressman Lever this morning a
very encouraging telegram.
1t will be remembered that not so
long ago the engineer of the United
States Government stationed at
Charleston and having in charge this
territory and supervision of such
matters made an unfavorable report
upon the opening of the river for
navigation, on the ground that the
prospective freight would not war
rant the government in expending
the amount necessary to proceed
with the work.
This report or conclusion was
somewhat of surprise to the people
here and, perhaps to Congressman
Lever as well, for many who kro
thought very good showing had
been made at the reference held by
Engineer Howell. However, when
the finding was made public Mr..
Glover and Mr.. Lever redoubled the
efforts with the intention of fghting
to the last ditch.
The telegram, therefore, which MIR,
Glover received today, and which
was pleasant news to this city and
vicinity, stated that Mr.. Lever had
obtained from the board of army en-.
gineers at Washington, who sat in
review on the matter a decision that
they would recommend the appro-
priation of $4,000 for continuing
the work.
Upon the receipt of this telegram
by Mr.. Glover, Mayor Bryant sent tc
Congressman Lever a telegram Of
thanks and congratulations as fol
lows:
The city council of Orangeburs
extends thanks and congratulations
for your efforts in behalf of the Eds
to River project and the success at

HORSE STEALING CHARGED.
Young White Man in Lexington
County Jail.

Lexington, January 11.-Cohen
Hedgepath, a young white man from
Peak, was lodged in the Lexington
county jail at $50 this morning, by
Sheriff Sim J. Miller upon charge
OF horse stealing. Sheriff Miller had
just gotten bacl: from Gilbert, where
he was called to arrest a party, when
the telephone called him to Peak in
the upper edge of the county. In
less than an hour and half he was
en- the ground. Young Hedgepath,
il is said, rifled the buggies of several
farmers in that vicinity who were in
Peak yesterday afternoon. When he
found out that the officers were look
ing for him he is said to have taken
a mule and buggy, the property OF
Adam Haltiwanger, and made his
getaway. Officers we're in pursuit
right away, and the young man was
soon captured.
Hedgepath is said to have been
under the influence of whiskey at the
time. His case will likely be dis
posed of during the general sessions
court this week.
