This campaign Is one Of vital impor-

was never q more favorable time for

We invite all classes. Irrespective of

In sympathy with the noble cause to Aid

earliest convenience.
We understood that many of the COL

that should Local Option prevail. the
loss OF revenue from, LIQUOR licenses
would have the effect of shortening
thier school terms or virtually closing
the schools. We can foresee no such
H effect. as we have made Cilipent in
quiry and have been informed by nm
conference.-the authority that not one
cent OF the revenue from liquor licenses
goes toward the aid of colored schools
IN this county. We bespeak for our
coiored friends, however, a wave of
prosperity and moral happiness. in the

exist among them at present. We have

confidence in my Judgment, and be as
sured we win do what is best and wisest
for their future welfare.
Every honorable means will be used
to win this battle. Our people should
work tremendously and with untiring
energy. We ask the cooperation OF
the good and noble women, and would
suggest that they organize in each COM

WELD its mighty sway.
We need more men like "Solomon"

TO declare their attitudes towards this
cause through the press. for 1.-THE pen

greater means of arousiDg the people to
enthusiasm cannot be used in this con-

The comedy drama, Diamonds and

me management of Mrs. J. c. Hobbs.
Miss Myrtle Bennett and Miss Martha
). Garner. These ladies, with the
view OF breaking the monotony of the
dull season and encouraging q higher
social lie, surprised not only their
friends but themselves BY their great
success.
Miss Bennett, as heroine of the NAV.
was as she Is in our midst. She was
ne Bernice Halstead, q pendulum be-
tween a smile and a tear. When she
laughed we laughed with her. and
when she cried We cried with her. The
same young girl, bubbIing over with

The responsible position, principal Of
our Island school. Miss Garner. our
assistant, who played the part of cross

Miss Bennett, had character opposed

who played the parts of Miss Inez
Gray and ISIS" appeared just long
enough to make the audience wish for
more and TO make the bachelors say:
oh, you lucky fellows!'' Little Miss
dracia Poe, as Amy Halstead, made
one think OF Harry Lauder, singing
Il Love Lassie." Mr.. Hooper Poe,
as the new doctor gracefully fell in
love with Bernice, as we all did, and
deservedly claimed his prize in the end.
So well did Mr.. Vaughn Poe play his
part as the villain that we felt like
helping the constable to take him to
jail.
Mr.. Joseph Robrecht, Jr., as Abra-
ham Barnes, the hayseed champion
and lover OF Miss Bernice, was all
there from start TO finish and gave all
OF us many happy laugh. Mr.. WAL
ter Crowder was the typical lawyer,
even to his painted mustache. Mr..
Frank Robrecht, as the sheriff, of
course, had,to do his duty, even tho
disagreeable-and he did it. Master
Bertram Poe, who played the part of
the little negro Sammy, was a grin for
himself as well as the audience from
start to finish.
The success of the play was especial
ly marked blythe close attention of the
large and appreciative audience and
again by the large number who asked
for a repetition.
After few words of thanks and ap-
probation, Father limerick spoke of
the need and advantage of q public
hall on the Island, where the young
people might find amusements in de-
bates, plays and entertainments in
stead of hanging around the saloons
and listening 70 cheap graphophones.

Women have some big problems to
solve. A little arithmetic, for example,
has shown that one woman took 1885,
900 steps needlessly every year, all
because OF the atrocious arrangement
of ker kitchen appliances. Probably
the rest Of her house was as poorly
arranged as her kitchen, giving her at
least an additional 256,O0O needless
steps. Tbs meant $4,000 steps, OF
approximately 200 miles, tramped off
annually in the daily round. Perhaps
this was an exceptional case, but
proper arrangement is one of the big
problems to be solved in each in
