AFFAIR =.
AT THE BIJOU

"IZZy" and company are going UP
high in the social whirl in the new
show starting tonight. It's to be an
altitudinous affair if the title counts
for anything. "Izzy" has given it the
attractive non de plume of "On the
Roof Garden" where the bright lights
glow and the freshening breezes blow
and they sip refreshing beverages and
spend all their stored up energy in the
estate whirl of such. mixtures as the
fox trot, the one step, the hesitation
and their ilk of terpschorean feats.
Anyway, no matter what the sur
roundings or the atmosphere 'Tzzy'
promises a breezy, up to the minute
musical comedy with the usual line OF
fun, patter and vaudeville stunts that
have made his company so popular in
the first month of their Honolulu en-
gagement.
The inimitable chicks will dance
their way further into the hearts of
the audience by the way of new song
hits and new costuming, while the
principals have arranged plenty of
new stuff. that puts to rout the
blue devils" and brings good cheer
instead. Some clever and entertain
iEg musical features are on the pro-
gram while the ever popular women
of the cast, Ethel Davis, Betty But
trick and Jessie Pehhy, will surpass all
previous efforts.

To this little one sun was the one
word connecting glee, pleasure and
personal comfort for she was one OF
q party OF Is war refugees aboard
the Maru who have at last escaped
from the rigors of Russian winters.
Life begun for her as a tiny helpless
baby fleeing from the German guns
in Poland, has been a succession OF
land trips and voyages for this little
girl, who was known to everyone
aboard as pet" no one being able
TO successfully pronounce her Polish
name.
She was born by the road side in
1915, while her mother and other
Poles were tramping 900 miles to get
within the lines OF the Russian troops

troops daily gaining on the ranks Of
the refugees. "

This is a sketch OF the career of

passed through experiences which are
almost beyond belief, but with free

hearing Hawaiian airs. That is, al
least, one feature that Is overlooked
Hawaiian dishes are also scarce, few
to- be found on the better class menus.
There should be a splendid business
opening for some one to establish a
strictly Hawaiian open air cafe.
"a speedway for pacing and running
races, motorcycle and automobile
events would prove a big boon to
those seeking amusement of this sort:
By all means cater to the golfing en-
thusiasts. 1t is now difficult matter
for the devotee Of this sport to gain
access to the grounds now available
near Honolulu. There should be mu-
nicipaI golf links. The city appears to
be well supplied with Fairgrounds for
children"
Mr.. Irwin was enthusiastic over the
possibilities for a Hawaiian settle.
ment to be located preferably in the
amusement park near the beach. He
predicted it to be financial success
from the start. Splendid opportunity
offers for the sale of native wares at
such a place. Mr.. Irwin contended
that Hawaii does not make the most
of the possibilities of it's bungalow
life. He was shown types. which he
declared were unrivaled by those
found in California. Architecture typi,
cal of Hawaii in the home and the bus
mess block should not be overlooked.
Keep Hawaii typically Hawaiian, he
said. -: ...
The present aquarium is about one
fifth the size it should be in the opin.

has been spread broadcast over the

fishes. He praised the service main,

THEATER PEOPLE
GIVE $4,000 TO
LIBERTY loan

Fun and stirring patriotism each
had its place at the Bijou theater last
night where the Monte Carter Co,
playing to a packed house uproarious
with laughter, yielded the stage to
the Liberty loan and Judge ]. j.
Banks. who announced that the en-
ployes of the Consolidated Amusement
Co. and the Monte Carter players
themselves had subscribed more than
$4,000 to the loan. Deafening applause
greeted this announcement. Judge
Banks, in his address which followed
was frequently interrupted to wait for
the house to grow quiet again. This
was particularly so when he said:
"The flag in whose honor you have
just risen to your feet represents
freedom, right and liberty-it repre-
sents America. It has never been
dragged in the dust of defeat 1t never
will be, and this time our boys viii
plant it on the high towers Of Berlin. I"
Judge Banks closed his address with
an appeal for everybody to help fight
the war by buying Liberty bonds, and
the girls of the chorus passed through
the aisles and collected the applica-
tons that had been filed out.
Time and again the patriotism and
appreciation of the audience mani
tested itself in generous applause for
the speaker who by his glowing de-
scription of Americas pledge TO up@
hold at all times the principles of
personal liberty and political free
dom moved his hearers to
deep-seated feeling of their RESPONSE
bilities to aid the men in the trenches.
The Bijou management desires to
express its gratitude for the efforts of
Judge Banks in making Liberty night
a success. -. ~ :.-.. '.....

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL
CLOSED LAST NIGHT

The very successful Baptist re-
vival came to a close Thursday
night. DIR. Wicker proved himself
to be speaker of ability. His fiery
denunciation of evil, his melting
appeal for good, his fine logic I'M.
statement made him many friends
and admirers in Abbeville.
Mrs. Wicker proved to be fine
help in the services, assisting DR..
Wicker in numerous specials that
were highly enjoyed. There were
% additions to the church before
last night, the results of which have
not been reported to this paper. DR..
Swope stated that that number has
brought the additions to the church,
during his pastorate Of less than IS
months, up to 148 making it one of
the strongest churches numerically
in Abbeville county. The rapid in
crease of this church is probably
not excelled by any church in the
state, or by very few at most.
The pastor will preach next SUN
day morning on the subject, The
Light that Shines From the Throne"
and again at the evening service on

ordinance of Baptism will be admin

THE RAILROADS.

In his message to Congress Presi-
dent Wilson states that, should the
occasion arise, later in the session
he will take up the matter of the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try and make recommendations
with regard thereto.
The Greenville Piedmont cor
rectly states that upon proper trans
portation facilities not only hinges
the continued prosperity of the
country but the conduct of the war
itself, it being impossible to han
die men, war material, food stutfs
and supplies for the army unless
the railroads perform their full
duty to the public. The Piedmont
further correctly blames the Dema-
gogues of the country, especially
in the South, for the crippling of
the railroads by their insistent de-
mands in past years that the reve-
nue. of these corporations be cut
and by refusing to extend to them
that aid and comfort which they de-
serve.
But the whole inability of the
railroads to perform their duties
to the public should not be charged
to the demagogues of the country.
The railroads themselves have not
been altogether blameless. 1t is i'm
possible to handle large corpora
tions like the great carriers of the
country unless they are properly
manned and unless the business of
these corporations in the local COM
munities is diligently looked after
by men with sufficient business
ideas to comprehend their tasks. 1t
is impossible to run railways with
boys as agents at all stations eX-
ccpt in the larger towns.
The National Government itself
should not be u3mindful of it's hand
in crippling these institutions by
the enactment OF legislation en-
empting railway employees from
the provisions of the Antitrust Act
and other like enactments, by legis-
lation fixing the hours of labor and
demanding ten hours pay for eight
hours work, by fostering a system
which takes the management of the
railroads out of the hands of it's
managers and turns the manage
ment over to persons having no f.
nancial responsibility in the COR
porations. By this legislation, the
National Government has done it's
full share to discourage the build
ing, equipment, betterment and
general success of the railroads,
and with it the full development of
the country. People will not invest
their money in corporations over
which the Government claims the
right to have exclusive jurisdiction
when these corporations are man.
aged and manned by men who are
not responsible to the stockholders
and bond-holders but who are law
unto themselves.
If the Government is to extend
any further its domination of the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try it should, without more ado,
take over the railways and operate
them itself. If it is by legislation
to fix the wages and hours of labor
for employees it should be the wage
payer.
