blending of the humorous with the

affair between a small town physi-
clan, played by Wilfred Lucas, and
the daughter of man who fancies he
has every disease and ailment known
to medical science. Constance Tai

airy invalid Winifred Westover ap-
pears in the role of a servant girl who

Then Lucas by a clever piece of de-
tective work, which is one of the fea-
lures of the play, proves the inno-
cence of the girl.

Chester, S. c., Feb. S.-Much any-
lety was expressed in Chester to-day
by planters from different sections OF

ent condition Of the grain crop due
to the recent freezes. At present the
look OF the grain is a distressing one

AS black as his hat" and it possesses
a distasteful odor. Much depends, it
is said, on the weather conditions Of
the next few days as to the grain s
future development. Whether the
roots have been killed is problemoti-
cal. 1t is thought that the grain that
was planted deep in the soil with
drills stands superior chance to
that which was otherwise planted
Not in years has such large grain
crop been planted and should it be
killed the loss will be a heavy one.
