HERE SHE is AGAIN

Sarah Bernhart is making another
farewell" visit to America. AS she
is now over 70 years old it is probable
that this may be her last farewell to
However, the New York
papers give high praise as ever to her
acting. The Evening Post says of
her: "Think of it! More than 70
years old, cripple, and almost an
invalid, this marvellous woman still re-
tains the power to sway her audi
ences, make them weep one moment

DOGS ARE DESTRUCTIVE
From The Sumter Item:

from Inc sumter Item:
A dog tax law, making it misde-
meanor to keep dog on which the
tax had not been paid, would do more
toward saving the partridges and 9TH
er ground nesting birds than the hunt
ers' license law, or closed season
for term of years, could be expect
ed to accomplish. The half starved
dogs that roam the country in the
nesting season destroy the eggs and
young birds by the thousands, and
are as much responsible for the steady
decrease in the number of partridges
as the pot hunters.
