Actors Memorial Day.


There is movement on foot
among the business men and society
people of New York city to recognize
the splendid work done by the people
of the theatre in all the great war
drives in behalf of Uncle Sam and
the great share in winning the war
performed by the theatrical profes-
sion, which succeeded in raising over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
for the various drives. A day has
therefore been set aside, which is
called Actors Memorial Day, as
memorial of the actors who fell at
the front, for those who served in
the trenches, and for the artists who
rendered such splendid services, not
only in France in entertaining the
soldiers, but in consideration of the
many benefits given by the profess
sion for the war needs.
The date has been made December
5th. AS an aid to the various meet
ings by the public in commemorating
this date, it is proposed to give extra
matinees on this date in all the lead
ing theatres of the United States.
This as an aid to put the Actors
Fund charity on a firm financial
foundation, and thus represent the
gratitude of the people of the United
States for all that the theatre people
have done for Uncle Sam.
This movement in New York City
lis to be extended throughout the
United States on that date. In many
smaller cities it is designated that
.uncheons, dinners, or other events
can be given in commemoration of
this splendid way of recognizing the
theatre in the war, for which special
/ local committees are to be assembled
to and to the general fund.
The New York committee has al
ready made rapid progress. The
Hotel Commodore has donated a
suite of offices, and the advisory
committee already includes
Governor Benjamin Strong OF the
Federal Reserve Bank (second dis
trict.)
VIM. G. McAdoo, former secretary
of the treasury.

This is magnificent road, though
in places, where the curves are very
frequent and very sharp and some
times double and the precipices many
hundred feet almost perpendicular
down, it is very dangerous for the
reckless driver, and he makes it dan
gerous for the careful driver, be-
cause at places you can not see the
road the length of your car in front
of you, and these are places mostly
where the sharp curves are. If every
one who drives a car was careful
there would be no more danger here
than on the average road. There are
accidents on the road nearly every
day, though so far as l heard this
party made the trip safely. It was
along this road where that truck only
a few days ago ran off and down one
of these awful precipices and killed
that little girl from Spartanburg.

THE PRESS MEETING.

The press meeting this year at
Greenville was a most delightful af-
fair. So fine was it, and so interest
ed did I become in the effort to take
in as much I could and at the
same time to help get out this issue,
that ! took the chance Of going to
Hendersonville for dinner and re-
turning to Greenville in time to
catch the $50 train for home. We
left Greenville by auto at IL o'clock
noon on Wednesday with the expec-
tation of making the trip and eating
dinner and returning by o'clock,
and it can be done, and just think of
it, the distance is between 40 and so
miles and right up the mountains.
What would have been thought Of
such an undertaking even ten years
ago?
The chamber of commerce of
Greenville had provided the trip and
arranged the dinner at the Kentucky
Home, one of those delightful hotels,
with which this beautiful mountain
section is filled. The business session
continued right UP to Is minutes to
12, and we started on the trip
promptly at the noon hour. l had
the good fortune to have seat with
Captain Adger Smythe in his big
Catilac, and the good fortune fur
ther, because he is a very careful
driver and also knows the country
and all the people who live along the
way and could tell you all about the
homes and the historic places. There
must have been been Jonah in the
car, however, because we had to
change tires twice on the trip going
But Captain Smythe did it so clever.
", with the help of those in the car
and with so good will that it did not
seem to be such a great misfortune
after all. w efelt that it might have
been worse.
The suggestion of the trip was
very pleasing to the editorial party
because it served several purposes

travel over this beautiful road, anc
to observe the engineering skill ir
its building, and also to see so,ne

You go through the Dark Corner
of Greenville, or that is what it is
called, and may have been once, but
it now has the appearance of any
thing but dark, showing what a good
road means for any section. The
farms look prosperous and the homes
attractive and some of them elegant
old mansions. By Cleveland Springs,
across the Blue Ridge and the Saluda
river, over Crumley mountain and
into North Carolina and across Green
river and come into Tuxedo, small
station on the Spartanburg & Ashe-
vile division of the Southern rail-
way and pass Flat Rock, the summer
homes of many millionaires, and into
Hendersonville. Captain Smythe
pointed out another spring known as
Mint spring where the mint beds
flourish and the water is so cool that
you do not need but one other
ingredient for your juleps, and it
once was a very much frequented
place, but now the bushes grow and
cover the delightful spot, and it is
but pleasant memory. It is not any
longer so attractive as it once was.

once was a very much frequented
place, but now the bushes grow and
cover the delightful spot, and it is
but pleasant memory. 1t is not any
longer so attractive as it once was.
And I was told that Greenville
already has more than 400
miles of just such roads as this one,
covering the entire county, and that
is one reason for the rapid growth
and development of this section of
our State. No section can keep
abreast the progress of this age that
neglects the all important matter of
building roads. In the early days of
the republic the people went all the
way from Charleston to spend their
summers in this section, and they had
their summer homes here, but it took
them weeks to make the trip. ! saw.
some rock bridges that were built
over the streams away back then,
but they did not do much for the
roads. We made the trip going in
two and a half hours including the
stops to change tires. Coming back
in little less than two hours, though
just ten minutes after my train had
left, and so in order to be here on
Thursday morning l made the trip by
auto from Greenville to Newberry
reaching home a little after ten
o'clock. This mountain road is only
twenty feet wide and it would be
much better if it were wider, but the
cost is so great that it was not made
any wider. None of the grades are
very steep, though the rise at one
place is nearly a thousand feet in
much less than mile. And this is
the section where you wind around
the dangerous curves. But it was a
delightful trip and made possible
only by the good road and the auto.
This is really a wonderful age in
which we live. Just to think, drive
As niles and back just to get dinner
and see the country. And then drive
another 100 miles to be home in time
to help with this paper. Why it
would have been impossible only a
few years ago. But we are living
fast now and must be kept moving
or we will fall in the background. Of
the business meeting and other ses-
sions of the association will have
some more to say in the next paper,
because there were some things talk
ed and talked about that I am per-
suaded our readers will be interested
in reading about.
From Newberry in attendance up
on the meeting there were Editor
Wallace of the Observer and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. L. Aull and Miss Emily
Aull and the writer from The Her
aid and News. Editor Wallace read
or rather made an address on Tues
day morning which was we'll receiv-
ed and very timely. He had to come
back to get out his paper so he left
or Tuesday evening. Mr.. Jas. L.
Aull had to come too so he left on
Wednesday morning. He went via
Anderson and spent Monday night
with friends in that city. Mrs. E. H.
Aull and the two American boys
went as far as Dyson on Monday and
are spending the week with the old
folks at home. So if there should
happen to be a few personals and To-
cal matters that you know about and

is q member of the headquarters de-
tachment. 1t will probably be Sergt.
Buyck's own drawing which will be
employed.
There will be a massed formation,
with no high lights. The silhouette
will be adopted. with a slight show
ing Of the tail Of the wig, which was
common in the time of Lafayette.
There viii be no regular military
formation.
For a long time Gen. Carter has
had this intention. The "fiu" cpl
demic interfered with the plan. which
was to be carried out in early Octo-
Der. At that time it was thought
that the picture would represent the
equestrian statue of Lafayette, but
this was abandoned when the bust
was suggested.
There is some discussion as to the
propriety of the general adoption of
the bust of Lafayette as the insignia
of the members of the division to
be worn on their sleeves just as the
overseas men wear the different des-
ignations which mark the separate
units, such as the Sunset, the Wild
Cat, the Keystone and the Liberty.
1t may be that the War Department
will issue permission for the di-
visions in the states to do likewise.
