Gaiety-aGoIden Crook

Billy Arlington and the Golden
Crook" Company romped through two
hours and one-half OF entertaining
and clever burlesque at the Gayety
Theater. Two capacity audiences yes
terdsy manifested their appreciation
of the talented performers by we'll
deserved applause.
Arlington alone could carry the
show, but he gives George Douglass,
a cracker jack foil. plenty of oppor-
tunities to show his ability to ex-
tract laughs. Harlie Mayne, a statu-
esque and melodious prima DONNA has
many chances to amuse and please
the eye and Elenor Cochran has time
to put over some real jazz tunes.
The Pail Mall trio and Bennett ana
Barlow, in specialties. quickly gain
favor. The chorus worked commenda-
bly, in many songs and dances in
support of the principals, as well as
introducing a military march which
was put over with a lot of pep.

II, has heard about it. There was a
sufficiently large audience at Poifs
last night to prove that the show has
not yet lost its drawing power, but
enough empty seats to give some OF
US dissepters courage. Public taste
may not be growing away from that
kind Of entertainment, but there is at
least hope that il eventually viii tire
of this particular specimen.
Moralizing on the reasons for the
enduring popularity of Experience
is a handy line for the irritated re-
viewer to take. 1t Is nearly twenty
years since the noble experiment of
producing the real medieval moral
fty play "Eyeryman." was made in
this country, with Edith wynne Mat
thison IN the title role. There Is sad
ness In the thought that the current
DANA shows no sign Of Inspiration
drawn from that event better than
this agglomeration of tawdry. inflated
bromidics hailed and acclaimed by
deluded throngs as a marvel OF moral
allegory.
But at least we may hopefully In
cline to the belief that the public
does not really admire Mr.. Hobart's
turgid and tasteless manner OF tell
ing his story. but Is merely indif-
ferent to such a defect; and that ''Ex-
perience" is really popular because 1t
possesses tha honest quality of
strong dramatic Imagination. Per-
haps II is a sign that our play
wrights Of more sophisticated work
manship are lacking in that respect
and have failed to meet the popular
craving for the food OF the gods.

EIGHTY-EIGHTH BIRTHDAY.
DIR, n. F. Kirkland Has Lived a
Long and Useful Life.

Monday was the birthday of DR..
N. F. Kirkland, of Olar, one Of the
county's prominent and distinguish
ed citizens. The doctor is eighty
eight years old, but his old age has
not dimmed his vision of world or
local events. He is keenly interest
ed in the things that are going on,
and is quite active physically for one
of his age. Not many, days ago he
attended a church meeting in Or
angeburg, and it is characteristic OF
him to always take lively interest
jim everything that tends to uplift
the people. In bygone days, the good
doctor was a noted practitioner and
enjoyed a large clientele, and al
though he has not visited the sick in
a professional capacity in many years,
there are hundreds of people in the
county who remember with love his
medical ministrations when they
were i'll, and his large circle
of friends all join in wishing him
many more happy birthdays.

LETTER ONLY A FAKE.
Soldier Not Awaiting Death As He
Wrote.

Atlanta, Jan. 24.-James A Sutton.
who disappeared last Sunday night
after writing his bride of a few
months a long letter describing the
sensations of approaching death, and
reiterating his love for her, as he
stood, he said, surrounded by three
men in lonely spot on the bank of
the Chattahooche river awaiting
the final shove that would send
him to his death at the bottom
of the stream, is still alive, sorry he
faxed the letter, and is now look
ing for work according to statement
here tonight by his mother-in-law,
Mrs. L. ]. Norman.
Mrs. Norman declined to state
where Sutton is now located but said
Mrs. Sutton had received two letters
from him in which he expressed sor-
row for having written the flake"
letter, and declared that he wanted
his wife to join him as soon as pos
sible. Sutton was discharged from
the army at Camp Gordon some time
ago. He obtained work here and
married at Atlanta girl.

KRUPP WORKING FOR U. S.
Making Parts for Cannon Rejected
by the Americans.

Coblenz, Jan. 22.-The. Krupp
plant at Essen began working
for the U. s. government Tuesday.
The task undertaken by the Krupps
consists of making parts for seventysS
two incomplete cannon rejected by
the. American authorities as part of
the war material offered by the Ger
mans under the terms of the armis-
tice. -
The German commission which
had been in Berlin considering the
question of the heavy guns turned
down by the American authorities
has arrived at Coblenz and reported
that eighty cannon have been shipped
to the headquarters Of the Ameri-
can army of occupation to replace big
guns which failed to meet require
ments. With the delivery of the
parts for the seventy-two cannon and
the arrival of the other eighty, the
delivery of heavy artillery to the
Americans will have been completed.
The American allotment called for
1852 heavy guns. )

NEGRO TAKES LIFE OF OFFICER
Posse Shoots to Death Man Barricad-
ing House With Gun.

Camden, Jan. 22.-Robert Latta,
veteran police officer of the Camden
force, was shot and killed here this
afternoon when he attempted to ar
rest Vowel Hudson, a negro. The
negro had been creating a disturb
ance on what is known as Team
Row." near the Seaboard passenger
depot and Policeman Latta had been
called to arrest him. The negro was
armed with repeating shotgun load
ed with buckshot and opened fire
when the officer approached. After
shooting the policeman, the negro.
still armed with the shotgun and a
quantity of shells, barricaded him
self in small house and opened fire
on those who approached.
A posse of citizens armed with
shotguns and rifles soon formed and
by shooting through the house the
negro was mortally wounded with
rifle bullets. He was removed to the
county jail, and vas barely alive at
the time. He died at 6 O'Clock this
evening.
Policeman Latta lived only about
half an hour after being wounded.
Only one shot struck him and that in
the breast. He was a highly respect
ed citizen and was loved by all who
knew him. He is survived by his wife
and one son, Albertus Latta, promi-
nent business man, of Cheraw, who
reached Camden tonight.

HOUSE NOT SCARED OF FLU
Refuse to Adjourn Until July Be-
cause of Epidemic.

Columbia, Jan. 23.-After consid-
cradle srarring today between mem
bers, the House of Representatives,
by a vote of IS to "a, refused to
concur ir. the Senate concurrent reso-
luton, passed yesterday to adjourn
until the second Tuesday in July,
1919, because of the prevalency of
Spanish influenza in the State.
Various views of the situation
were advanced by the members, some
of whom thought that it was a scheme
to prevent the Senate action on the
veto message of former Governor
Manning in which he refused to sane
tion the G. l.. Toole bill providing
for five-cent car fares on the lines of
the Columbia Railway, Gas and Elec-
trio Company between Columbia and
Camp Jackson, which was passed
over the veto by the House yesterday,
101 to 8, and others were of the
opinion that the adjournment agita-
tion was for the purpose of saving
the State tax commission. None of
these views were openly INDUCED in
during the debate, however. They
were circuitously circulated .on the
floor of the House and limited at by
some of the members in their debate.
After a deal of debate, the House
this afternoon on a rule by Speaker
Cothran, that it could not recess until
Tuesday without the consent of the
Senate, as it would be without the
three-day limitation prescribed in the
rules, took an adjournment until
Monday night at o'clock.
