PLAY CHAUTAUQUA.
Appreciate Its Merits and Catch OH TO
Its Ideas. Rcitcrating ifs Numbers
i'm Their Own Ways.

Young America has q new enter
tainment which has taken the place
of the time -honored "shov' with its
two pins admission. Just as the
chautauqua has replaced the melo-
drama i'm the hes rts of the people, so
has it taken it's firm position i'm the
pleasure of the young folks.
From Jacksonville to Chicago, the
Riddles are now playing chautauqua."
For two pins you may now see the
most famous men of the lecture plat
form-as they appear to the fancies
of childhood. Many n barn has it's
hayloft fitted up as an imitation plat
form, where the amateur chautau-
quans perform.
Feats of magic. lectures. vocal Sc
lectiOns and hair-cOmb bands can be
witnessed and heard most any day
throughout the summer if but you
know where the show, is going on.
1t is especially true after the chau-
tauqua has appeared in any city, for
the impression made on young Amer
lea is exceptionally ly strong.
There are so many phases TO a
chautauqua program that the children
have enough lines to follow to fur
nish them with material for their
initiative amusement for weeks after
the Redpath festival has left the COM
munity. A little of childhood's i'm
agination used in connection with all
the hints given in the various pro-
grams keeps the children working
overtime
When you find a Redpath pennant
floating from the top of your neigh
boris barn, borrow two pins from your
wife and go to see the youngsters in
action. 1t will be worth your two
pins though they be set with dia-
mondS.

BUY TICKETS THROUGH Y. NJ.
ys-tv - @. A.
Association Gets Share of Receipts, il
Ii Sells Chautauqua Tickets.

80
10 The sale OF ,Chautauqua. tickets
started of most auspiciously on
Thursday. when $500 worth of tickets
were disposed Of. Friday the sale was
continuing strong and it is expected
that within the next few days all of
the one thousand tickets allowed the
\. M. c. A.. under whose auspices the
Chautauqua comes. will be sold. These
are sold at $3.50. After the thou
sand tickets are sold tickets will cost
$500. ...
A number of the citizens of Sum-
ter have seemed indisposed to buy
their tickets now, saying that they
will purchase them when the Chau-
tauqua opens. if they decide to pur-
chase tickets at all, rather than buy
them now. There are two very good
reasons why tickets should be bought
now. The first is that they can be
purchased for $3.50 to the one thou
sand allotted. The other reason is
that the Y. NJ. c. A. gets half of the
money for all tickets it sells in en-
cess of the thousand. Every citizen in
Sumter wants to do his part towards
local institutions. The tickets will
cost no more to get them through the
Y. M. c. A. and the association gets
half of the receipts.

The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received yes
terday afternoon by w. B. Hibbs & Co
from Logan & Bryan, their New York
correspondents:
"As a result OF the usual week end
evening up process, the market was quite
irregular. Stocks. however, swere well
taken on the downward turn. The item
of chief importance was that which de-
noted that attacks were directed against
the hdlSeT ana lne CnanCellOr Dy Ino
Socialist element in the Reichstag. In
addition 1t was said that shippers will
vigorously protest the application OF the
carriers for increased rate, which Of
course is not unusual and Is to be ex-
pected under the circumstances Tho
impression is current in certain quarters
that before Congress convenes the Teu-
tonic allies may submit some proposals
of a sort likely to mollify the American
administration. but 1t Is not thought that
the same will alter the determination of
Washington unless the offerings meet
American views fully. Sentiment here Is
buIlish. and while periods Of irregularity
will no doubt be experienced 1t looks
very much as though strong efforts will
be put forth to establish a higher range
Of prices"

CBy the International News seryiee)
New York. March 2L-Actual surplus
reserves showed a loss Of 81, ,073610 In the
bank statement today. Net demand de-
posits were increased S.4S9,0o and loans
increased so, $50 600. In the average state
ment, reserves showed a decrease OF w.
OO4, $50, while net demand deposits In
creased s24.s5S,ooo and loans Increased
S1,O54,0Oc.
Among stocks to distinguish themselves
were Mercantile Marine issues and Amer
lean Malt, both OF which made new high
records for the movement.
Copper stocks were strong throughout
the session, although no material ad-
vances were recorded. All metal stocks
we're in good demand. Those traders who
are selling the motors are liable to be
surprised because there Is countrywide
increase of demand for automobiles and
with the United States at war. the motor
industry will boom again. An advance
in freight rates on the railroads will also
help the automobiles. because it Will
make possible the use OF automobile
trucks in profitable competition with
railroads at all great terminals.
