"HUMoREsQUE" is COMING

Fannie Hurst's greatest. story
"Humoresque," has been adapted to
the screen and will be shown at the
Opera House Friday and Saturday Of
this week. 1t is tale of youthful
genius and mother-love, with the
scene laid chiefly in New York's
Ghetto asd Fifth avenue. Miss Hurst
as is well-known, is right at home in
portraying with a realistic touch the
characters of New York's humber
inhabitants, and "Humoresque' is
said to contain intense heart-appeal.
Humor and pathos are deftly mingled
in the picture.

ORPHANAGE WORK DAY.

By common agreements Saturday,
Oct. 9th is Work Day for the Or
rhanages of South Carolina. The lay
gets it's name from the suggestion
that every member of the church and
every friend of orphans give as much
as the income from that days work
to the institution of. his choice. Ep-
worth Orphanage is sadly in need Of
dining-room, a cook-room, a school
building, and offices. 1t is planned by
the administration to include all these
in one central building which will cost
100000. This sum is not too great
for the Methodists of South Carolina.
We trust that next Sunday, Oct.
10th, every member of the church
will make a liberal contribution to
this most worthy cause.
Most of cur children have living
parents to care for them. Others are
provided for by estates left them.
Let's help those who have neither. 1t
is hard to imagine a more worthy ap-
peal. am sure the Methodists of Alb
beville will respond literally.

against the bill is that it permits an

Suppose that the interest does

Editor the Standard:

Editor the Standard:
We have been hearing lot of dis
cussion about the Carlyon bill pro
and con, and one of the biggest oD-
jections that has been advanced it
seems to me, is that costs of road
building are now higher than when
the bill was framed. while the bond
market is weak. so that we may not
be able to sell the bonds.
Now l have taken the trouble to
read the bill through, and do not
see any reason to hesitate on account
of either of these objections.
The state highway board does not
need to award contracts. under Ref
erendum No. /, when conditions are
unfavorable for road building. 1t is
not required to plunge ahead, II
labor, purchase Of materials, or the
sale Of bonds is unfavorable.
In the same way 1t provides for
competition in the award of con-
tracts, and it does not prohibit the
use Of patented pavement If equally
durable and permanent, provided the
same can be bought at the same
price as the unpatented type.
The bond market may or may not
be favorable; think that is largely
a matter Of opinion. But the sale OF
the bonds under the bill is not de-
pendent on the market at any time.
The guarantee of the state, placed
back of them, makes possible the in
vestment of idle money of our own
state from various state permanent
funds.
And so far as costs and conditions
are concerned, 1t seems to me that
prices are dropping. II anything, and
all this fear of high costs seems a
little out of date. judging from all
present indications.
About all we can ask any
thoughtful voter, or any loyal citi-
zen Of Washington to do, is to read
the bill. 1t looks to me as though
lit has provided for every contin-
gency that can arise.
The fact that it has already worked
out satisfactorily in Oregon and that
state is now ahead Of us and reaping

A pretty kettle Of fish! had made

ruin young girls life! II I told
anything I'd have to tell all.
George rang. He was apOlogetic,
but had the offish air Of having re-
ceived compensation for my scolding.
"Why, that gen'lem'n downstairs. he
says-soOn as I tell him you amt
home-he says amt you in, or is you
out"
II told you positively that was not
at home"
swell, I tole him that-that's why
he ask me is You not at home or Is
you out? An he says fer me to go up
again with this here" and he thrust
q sealed envelope into my hand
through the crack of the door, which
was still on the chaIn-bolt. y
AechanicaiIy-as- people will do
those things without thinking Of the
possible consequences-I tore open
the flap and read:
"Mademoiselle de Ravenol has dis
appeared"
That was all-no signature or any
thing-and the paper looked like a
leaf torn from a notebook and hastily
scribbled In pencil.
made an exclamation and was In
the very act Of telling George to
bring the man up at once. when the
Queerest feeling came over me-intu-
ition. warning, whatever you choose
to name it-a feeling Of danger, and
that this was what the detectives call
plant for me. 1t was George who
recalled me to my senses by asking.
"Shall fetch him upf"
"No-certainly not. You've already
told him I'm not at home"
"But he says-if you's out I'm to
fetch back the letter to him. an
when I don't fetch It back he asks me,
amt you in. an II you amt in where's
the letter?"
True-and aptly argued!
"Why didn't you tell me that In the
first placer" 1 demanded, wondering
at my own stupidity that hadn't seen
1t myself In the frst place.
II amt think Of It," said George
sullenly.
