Our Newberry Letter.

We have been waiting patiently tc
see what effect the new currency law
would have oyer the Southern portion
of the Union. Will it help the common
laborer directly or indirectly or at all?
When quite small boy, not in the
teens yet, we were advised by some Of
our older men not to buy anything We
really didn't need no matter
cheap it nay be. IN one respect we
have carried out the advice of our
aged ones SO far. Ulder the currency
system which has been in operation
IN the United States ever since the
Civil war there occurred from time to
time financial panics, more or less
severe financial stringency. Many of
these panics and periods of stringency
certainly must have been brought
about by the speculative interests in
Wall street to the great injury of the
business and the people of the entire
country. In the platform of the Demo
cratic party which elected Wilson
president of the Unite.l States there
was plank demanding revision of
the currency laws. President Wilson
met shis demand by outlining in
message to Congress the character of
the bill that would meet the, require
ments of existing conditions and the
conditions of the future. This bill is
now law.s Shall we purchase a

Supervisor Charles E. Coriey has
made it known that those persons who
failed to pay Communication road tax
during the period limit prescribed BY
law, will eisher have to pay their fines,
work the road or 80 to the rock pile.
During the past several weeks the
Lexington supervisor has&ad Q mum.
ber Of warrants issued foripersons who
have refused to wofk the. roads upon
call OF 1.-The respective ogerseers on
different roads, and In .almost every
instance convictions have been secured
where the cases were tried before the
Justices of the peace. Several cases
are now pending, besides those that
have already been disposed Of. The
supervisor Is receiving complaints
from the overseers in most every
section to the effect that certain
persons refuse to work after they have
been "wsrned' to do so by the over.
seers, and it is expected that many
prosecutions will follow.
In the cases that have been called
to the attention Of Supervisor Corley
there are both whites and negroes,
but when it comes to enforcing the
law Supervisor Corley states that he
is no respector of persons, and that
every man who has not paid the pro.
visional road tax and who refuses to-
comply with the request of the overs
seers will be prosecuted. 81 do No,

JEFF cartoons, made its local debut at
the Gayety theatre yesterday, and two
capacity audiences demonstrated by
almost continuous laughter and APP
plause their opinion that the talented
Bud as a cartoonist has nothing on
Mr.. Fisher as a humorous playwright.
There is no distinguishable plot to
the two acts of musical nonsense, but
the antics of a capable cast and the
beauty of a small but unusually comely
chorus make a vehicle which is ac
cepted without cavil and which will
be one of the bright spots of the sea
son at the Gayety. The principal fun
maker in the company is Ned Melroy,
not particularly on account OF the
fairness of his part as Mike, but owing
to the fact that he is a dyad-in-the-
wool comedian"
Don't Lie to Your Wife, by Camp
bell B. Casad, which comes to the tlli-
nois theatre Oct. % under direction
of c. S. Primrose, was a last seasons
laughing success. The piece swings
back and forth between comedy anu
farces and its pendulum-like motion
causes merriment of the -screamiest"
brand. 1t is a triangle farce; there
are three gay boys, two married and
one engaged; all three of the feminine
parties are away at the same time,
and all three of the males interested
arrive at the same conclusion-they
will have a joy time while the sweet
-hings are away. Down to Coney Is
land go the male trio, and there three
chorus girls are added to the mixup.

ant spirits; automobiles at 60 miles
an hour bring them in contact with
the police, and besides the girls have
a press agent who is abnormally active
and he is always on the job harassing

AT THE ILLINOIS.


When the Boston English Opera
company comes to the Illinois theatre
Tuesday, Oct. 90 in Verdi's opera, III
| Trovatore," there will be heard in this
city what is claimed to be without
question the greatest aggregation OF
artists ever heard in one company in
this country before il English opera.
In addition to this all-star cast, there
will be a specially selected chorus and
an orchestra under the direction of
Arthur Fell. Among the artists COM
prising the Boston English Opera COM
pany is the famous baritone, Arthur
Deane, who has for years been great
advocate on singing as a sure pre-
ventative and an efficient cure for con-
sumption. Mr.. Deane says: IF you
are consumptive -sing,-or if you
think you are drifting into consump-
tion-sing! do not advance the
ridiculous claim that singing alone will
save you or cure you, but it is one of
the essentials if one wishes TO bring
about the results. Singing means deep
breathing, and personally l have never
heard of a famous singer being con-
sumptive, which is the more remark
able when you take into consideration
the hardships they endure, the long
Jumps, waiting at stations in all sorts
of weather, and this crowned with the
idiotic heating of railroad cars-doors
wide open one moment and the next
the cars like frey furnace-draughts
on the stage, poorly ventilated dress
ing rooms, often playing in tights with
a thermometer below zero; yet, not
withstanding all these Misunderstanding
experiences, the singer at the end of
the season is usually 'on the job l

Test Mill Near Completion.

The new Copper Queen test mill below the Sacramento shaft is very rapidly assuming ap- pearance of completion. The purpose of this mill has been frequently told It is the ad- vance of the ultimate concen- trator Of large capacity which will handle the low grade ores from the new upper level divi- sions of the Copper Queen mines. It has been expected that ore would commence feed ing into the test mill the end of June or early in July. The present outlook is that the first part of the next month will see the plant going. It can be made ready for turning over very quickly after the arrival of some minor machinery equip ment which is now awaited from the manufacturers. It has been delayed in transportation in the flooded districts to the east. Operation of the plant means in creased labor, but the meaning of largest importance is in con nection with the availability which it will ultimately bring about for handling low grade ore of the camp with the highest efficiency y.-BiSbee Review.

Extent Little Realized.

Old time miners in the district have realization of the enormous extent of underground openings prevailing here, and of the tre- mendouS expenditure of time, labor, money and ingenuity which has gone into their mak- ing. Miners who have come more recently and have worked in only a few of the properties, have comparatively small re- alization of what has been achieved. The general public is entirely without realization, or practically so. Few, for in stance, realize that were they to go into every opening that has been made underground in the district in the pursuit of ore, they would travel close up around 1,OOO miles along the street and byways of the under ground city in which thousands toll from 50 to 1900 feet below the floors of their homes every day. Nor is there realization Of even the commonplace item in mining of the vast forests of timbers through which they would travel on such a journey, millions upon millions of feet that have been put underground never to come to the surface again-lost forever from sight on top of ground. .-Bisbee Re view.
