"A MASTER PERFORMANCE"

Reginald De Koven's robin Hood"
In all it's beauty and splendor was
presented at the Colonial last evening
to large and pleased audience. From
curtain to curtain the staging and act
ing was one Of superb and splendid
appeal. The costuming was Of mark
ed conference with the time Of Robin
Hoods supposed history.
To say the house was pleased Is
putting 1t mildly. They were glorious
ly pleased with the grand perform
ance. A we'll balanced chorus sup
ported strong coterie OF leads. The
music, q beautiful harmony Of Eng
lish opera, was we'll rendered and
we'll supported throughout the entire
performance.
II Came As a Cavalier" was the
first song that raised the house, and
It literally raised the house to their
feet with applause. From that mo-
ment the house responded to the
many well give1 pngs. Brown oc'
! tober Ale,' by James Stevens ard
chorus, received number Of encores.
20 Promise Me-" by Miss Tracy, re-
ceived repeated applause. Many 9TH
ers of the series Of songs throughout
the play received large appreciation
by the audience, but the above with
out doubt were most appreciated.
The managers Of the house are to
be complimented on securing such
performances. They are deserving OF
top prices and large crowds. One
could truthfully say that not dissat-
isfied person left the Colonial last
evening. In fact, many who witness.
ed the show would not have missed 1t
for twice the price. 1t was truly a
! big league show and even though the
stage was small for the well balanced
and large troupe Of sterling perform.
ers, they made q most attractive per-
Torrance Of the play. The Eagle con-
graduates the managers on such q
worthy performance.

MORE TAXES THE CRY.

The Eagle In its feeble way has
frequently tried to point out the dan
gers which confront the country
through the ever and rapidly in.
creasing burden Of taxation. Some.
times. when we view the situation in
all its dread reality, we feel like all
the fire bells in the country should be
rung and cannon fired to arouse the
people to full realization of the sit.

following earnest note Of warning to
the people. the taxpayers on whose

Presentment of Grand Jury.

We. the grand jury of Williams
burg county. having passed upon all
bills that have come before us at
this. the spring term of the court of
general sessions for the year 1917,
and having passed upon all matters
within our jurisdiction, do herewith
make our report:
l. We desire to express our thanks
to his Honor. Judge R w Memmin-
ger. presiding Judge. for the court
eous and able manner in which he
explained the law to US in his charge,
thereby enabling us to attend to all
business that has come before US in
an orderly and proper mannc-, and
! fitting US for the duties required of
US during our term of Office.
We also desire to express our
| thanks to the Solicitor for the sery-
ices rendered by him in assisting US
in passing on the indictments which
were handed to US for our consider
alton.
2. We beg to report that various
committees, composed of members of
the grand jury, have been appointed
to investigate all affairs of the cour-
ty and to report back at the summer
term of this court.
8. We recommend that four CD
rural policemen for this county be
appointed, as has heretofore been
done, ,and .lif practicable, that they be
appointed from the same sections of
the county as heretofore.
4. We again beg to call the atten-
ton of the County Commissioners to
the condition of the walls of the
court hcuie and jury rooms; this
body recommended, both at the sum-
mer and fall terms of this court for
1916, that these walls be re.calci.

ommendation has not been complied
with.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

duce the pork for the family, with
some excess for sale. The number
of laying hens should be increased
and carefully tended to produce eggs
and poultry for the table with a suf'
ficient excess for sale. The average
number of poultry per farm should
be gradually increased to at least
fifty. The livestock on the farm
should be gradually increased as 8
whole so as to consume the otherwise
waste products of the farm and make
the improbable and untillable lands
productive. This means attention tc
the breeding, care and feeding OF
poultry and hogs, beef cattle. milct
cows. etc.
6. When the living has been amply
provided for. grow cotton for the
main money crop.
7. Plan to sell or exchange the
surplus products of the garden, the
orchard, the poultry. the livestock
the eggs and the feed crops, to cover
the necessary running expenses OF
the farm and save the cotton as the
real cash crop.
The fact that cotton has been uE
eighteen and twenty cents per pound
should not in any sense tempt farm
ers, merchants or bankers to depart
in practice or influence from this
programme. Are you going to play
safe or gamble on the European wal
and bet that cotton will be high ano
food products low? One of the seri'
Gus problems of this nation today is
the production of food. At this
time no man in the South can afforo
to be tempted to reduce the produc
ton of food and feed crops. Rather
should they be increased. 1t is the
only safe plan.
The agricultural colleges of the
Southern States, in cooperation with
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. are conducting. through
the extension divisions and county
agents in every State. campaigns tc
sustain the production of food anc
