The Theater as Medicine.

A writer in American Medicine
no doubt physician-set down his
belief that most persons suffering
from insomnia, melancholia, brain
fag and various other nervous disor=
ders, should seek cures in the thea
ter. "You can't get the same bene-
flt.'' he says, "by sitting at home
and reading funny book. You need
the brilliant lights, the crowds o.
caily dressed persons about you, the
music Of the orchestra and the con-
tTnuous action of til. stage to take
YOU out OF yourself and transport
YOU to a world where worry Is un-
known. Reduce your doctors bills
by paying few dollars in advance
at the box office" This is pre-
scription-a although it seems to be d.
rected exclusively toward the conf
cally amusing-which no actor and
no manager will question. And most
other persons would better try II
before scoffing at 1t.

wrote the following when the play
was given there by Mr.. Short:
,'Rostand's delightful comedy-ro-
nance is almost his sappiest inspira-
ton. Writing with his reputation
yet to make. before lie began to take
himself too seriously, Les Roman
csaues" (The Romancers) has all the
charm and wit of his most poetic
work at its brilliant best; and the
performance will be exceptionally in
teresting because of the exceptional
opportunity for comparison offered
by Miss Adams production of "Chan-
|ticleer." 1t will be. possible to COM
pare the earlier Rostand with the la
ter, the play for the plays sake with
the play as document, lampoon, ale
CORY and spectacle. There is so such
of "Chanticleer" that is non-dramat-
ic, that 1.-THE Romancers" must be
regarded as better playfi technical

point Of the audience far more
amusing one. In lies Romanesaues"
The issues are not vast and vital; one
is not burdened with insistance larg-
er meanings and oppressive implica-
tions, where more is meant than
meets the ear; and yet there is plcn-
~ of food for thought in the keen
ratire and sane idealism of the piece.

Lamar, May 20.-W. Nj. Mcmillan.
prominent planter and one of La
mars best citizens, was perhaps ia
tally shot yesterday morning by Claud
X. DuBose. who is a near neighbor of
Mr.. Mcmillan. 1t seems that there
had been a dispute between them for
some time over a ditch which is a
boundary line between the property
OF the two men. They met at the
ditch yesterday morning and after
some argument Mr.. Mcmillan started
toward Mr.. DuBose, who is said to
have dropped a grubbing hoe and
drawn 81 calibre revolver, firing at
Mcmillan four times, two of the shots
taking effect. One ball passed through
the right lung and another entered
the leg near the groin. DR.. Boykin
dressed the wounded man. Hopes arc
held out for the recovery of Mr.. Nc

wounded. Mr.. DuRosc was put under

COVER CROPS IN ORCHARDS.
How Certain Crops Can BE Made to
Benefit Orchards and to- Support
Hogs.

Clemson College, May 2O.-Farmers
who have young orchards have an op-
portunlty at this season to plant crops
that will be Of much benefit to the
condition Of the soil in the orchard
and at the same time will be of value
as grazing crops for hogs. Crops of
this kind which may be planted now
are cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts and
sweet potatoes, according to 1. ].
Crider, associate professor of horti-
culture at Clemson College. If this
should be done, however it would
be necessary to use great care not 10
allow hogs to remain in the orchard
after they have exhausted the grazing
crop. as in that event there would be
danger of their injuring the trees.
Care must be taken, said Prof
Crider, to sow such crops in the drill
Broadcasting would be bad for the
trees. 1t is also a bad practice to

q considerable height. Crops sown in
the orchard in summer must be care
fully cultivated and the rows must
not be very close to the trees, in or
der that the field crop may not roll
the trees Of any Of their moisture a,
the same time, any farmer will FIND
it profitable to SOW these crops ir
the drill and to cultivate them care
fully. In young orchards it is pos
sible for farmer in this way to grow
enough in cover or forage crops t(
pay for the setting out of the tree:
and the care Of them until the tree:
reach bearing age and begin to mak'
returns for themselves.

AT WORK ON NEW ROAD.
Gang Moved to McBrides Crossing
Commences Work on New High
way.

The county chaingang was moved
saturday from near Myers store,
where it has been located for the past
lew months to McBride's Crossing,
where on Tuesday it broke earth on
the new public highway between Nc
Brides Crossing and Shiloh. which il
IS hoped Will be a means of bringing
the Shiloh section of Sumter county
into closer communication with the
county seat and at the same time will
mean an increase Of business to the
merchants Of Sumter and a conven-
ience to the people Of the Shiloh sec
ton in the disposal of their tobacco
and cotton crops.
This road was authorized by the
county board several months ago
upon the earnest request of the
Chamber OF Commerce, business men
of Sumter and the citizens of Shiloh
section. Mr.. Pitts had the survey
made some time ago, but has waited
until he could do some work in the
western and central parts Of the
county before he commenced on this
new work. There has been consider
able water in the swamps along the
proposed route OF the road and this
had to dry off before efficient work
could be done.
However. the work has now been
commenced and will be pushed
ahead as rapidly a. possible in order
to have the road completed and in
good condition for travel by the time
the tobacco season opens, in order to
give the farmers in this section an
opportunity of bringing their crop to
Sumter to sell at the tobacco ware
house here. The road has long been
needed and will be a great conven-
ience to many, shortening the distance
from Shiloh to Sumter by four or
five miles. When this road is COM
pleted The next link will be COM
menced as soon as possible, from Shi-
loh to Trinity.
