NOT AN ABBEVILLE GAME

BEHOLD MY WIFEW
ONE OF THE FINEST
FILMS OF THE YEAR

Hailed by the critics and motion
picture public as one of the finest
productions of the current season,
George Melford's Behold My
Wife" is coming to the Opera
House for 2 days Friday and Satur-
day. The story was adapted from Sir
Gilbert Parker's novel of the Cana
dian Northwest, "The Translation
of a Savage"
The central characters are the
aristoSratic son of an English fami-
ly and the simple Indian girl whom
he encounters in Canada while he is
on business for the Hudson's Bay
Company. Receiving word from his
finance back in England that she
has broken with him because of the
family's objection to their mar
riage, the youth in a fit of rage,
mapries the Indian girl and sends
her back to England as his wife to
disgrace his blue-blooded sires. Then
he proceeds to hit the roboggan in
this own way. However, dramatic
events work a Transformation in
his bride and the ending rs a happy
one.
"Behold My Wifew has been
filmed against a background of
snow-capped mountain peaks, bleak
Canadian trading posts, and luxuri-
Gus English country homes. The &C.
tion is interpreted by distinguish,
ed cast including Mabel Julienne
Scott, Elliott Dexter, Milton Sills
and Ann Forrest. Frank Condor
adapted the story to the screen. 1t is

PAPER SUSPENDS

The Fountain Inn Tribune an
nounces that it will suspend publica-
tion on. account of failure Of rev.
enue. We imagine that the Fountain
Inn Tribune will not be long alone.
The cost of printing newspapers in
creased enormously during the wal
period. The charges for labor increas-
ed something like one hundred per
cent, while print paper increased in
price from about three cents per
pound to fifteen cents per pound.
While paper is some cheaper and the
price of labor has been somewhat re-
duced, there is still a wide margin
between the expenses formerly in
Cured and those now incurred IN
printing a newspaper.
On the other hand, the newspapers
are without revenue. We saw a
weekly paper last week with not more
than four columns of advertising
matter. The subscription price of the
paper will not pay for the stock on
which it is printed and the postage
and other Incidental charges of print
ing and mailing it. The income is
not sufficient to pay the labor neces-
sary to keep the paper going.
And that is about the condition OF
most newspapers just now. The da'-
ly papers which formerly had issuas
Of twenty-four and more pages, add
which were full of advertisements,
are now printing about eight pages
with no advertisers.
Just how long the condition will
remain, we do not know. But We do
know that if it continues long there
will be no newspapers printed except
in those cases where the owners of
the papers are prepared to shoulder
the expenses of so doing without any
hope of financial return.

JAPAN'S 100000

The census taken in Japan on Oc-
tober 1 was the first census taken
throughout the empire. The result
as cabled showed that the total pop
ulation of the japanese Empire is
77,OO5,OOO, of which Japan proper
alone counts for its inhabitants 55,-
$4,000 souls.
Hitherto, the Japanese Govern
ment relied for the numbering of
the people on the policemen, who
made a house toulouse visitation
once or twice a year. Consequently,
the results were of doubtful accura-
cy. The experiment undertaken on
October 1 was in many respects an
interesting one. Prior to the taking
of the census, agents of the census
bureau had been very active in con-
Quoting a campaign of education re-
garding the census. Even orators
and entertainers were hired to fami=
liarize the people with the enter
prise. The city of Toxic alone ap-
propritted 100000 yen for the pur-
pose, employing SALT agents to dis
tribute preliminary test blanks. to
the 467,692 independent families
residing in the capital. These test
blanks had to be filled in so that all
citizens might make no mistake in
answering the questions on the Off
cial sheet.
The census agents, going from
house to house and among all class
es of people met with experience
which were both tragic and comic,
as many of the Japanese seemed to
have had a misapprehension Of the
purpose of the taking of the census.
A story is told of one newly married
couple for whose conjugal happi-
ness a too close inquiry about the
age of the femme partner had to
be carefully avoided. There was
tacit understanding between the
couples that the wife was two years
older than the husband. Therefore,
when the census agent called with
test blank the wife whispered to
him: "In truth I am five years older
than my husband, but if he knew my
true age he might send me away; so
with your permission, I shall write a
false age on the blank form. When
you come on October l to collect
the formal sheet shall follow you
out of the house fora little way
and then tell you my true age"
To the agreeable surprise of the
census agents they did not encount-
er much trouble among the poorer
and illiterate classes. On the other
hand, lawyers, true to their profess
sion, proved garrulous and quarrel:
some, instead of following their in
structions. Trouble was also en-
countered in dealing with some of
the families of the nobility, where
cooperation was refused. On the
eve of the census day even the
haunts of the vagrants and beggars
of temples, shrines, un-
der bridges and other unsheltered
places ransacked so that the
of the empire might be
accurately counted.-East and West

WOULD ABOLISH
PENSION BOARD
Senator Hart Has Measure to Sim
plify Matters-Ways and Means
Committee Considers Bill
Favorably.

committee SOHSioeES oii
Favorably.
Senator Hart's bill to abolish the
state pension board and to devolve
the duties of the board on the comp
troller general and the county boards
of honor in the several counties is to
be substituted for house bill of
similar import, but not exactly the
same provisions, by the ways and
means committee of the house and
reported out favorably today, it is
believed.
The measure by the York senator
would greatly>simplify the present
plan of paying pensions it is claimed
would incorporate Senator john
stones bill to pay pensions to GER
tain faithful negroes who served in
the war and who since have conduct
ed themselves properly and would do
away with the state board altogeth-
er, making ample provision for the
comptroller general to handle all the
pension money.
A number of changes are made, in
the old law, including the creating
of the county 'boards of honor"
which shall have authority to place
names on the list or remove them
from the list. The board would COLI
sist of three members, elected at a
call meeting of all the veterans in the
county and the judge of probate
would act as clerk and distribute the
money as provided by the act and the
boards. Members of the county boards
would be paid 81 day while in ses-
sion and actual expenses incurred
and in addition ten cents mile for
each mile travelled in the discharge Of
their duty. The judge Of probate
would receive fee of rs cents for
each enrolment and for each dis
bursement.
The comptroller general would ap-
nortion to the several counties their
pro rata share of the fund arpropri-
ated for pensions and have general
supervision of the act. Only two
classes of veterans are provided for,
Class A and Glass B, the first class
to consist of pensioners who have at
tanned the age of so or who have lost
an arm or leg, or who are blind or
paralyzed or whose income does not
exceed $500 per annum while Glass
B would consist of all/other pension
ers not in Glass A.
All Glass. A pensioners are to re-
ceive $100 and the remainder OF the
fund is to be divided bropordonally
among the pensioners of Glass B. The
bill provides that if the pensioners in
Glass B receive more than $75, this
sum shall be divided three-fourths
over the $500 for Class 3.
All pensioners in Class B when they
arrive at 80 years are automatically
elevated to Class A.
Pensioners entering the Confeder-
ate home are limite4 to $50 and pro-
vision is made for the widows of all
veterans. To carry out the act the
sum of 100000 would be appropri-
ated.
The bill provides that the county
boards of honor shall, if they find
justifable cases, pay pensions to the
faithful negroes of the Confederate
war in the amount set by the county
boards. To assist Athe comptroller
general an additional clerk is allowed
at a salary not to exceed $2,400.
This measure is said to be favor
ably looked upon in both branches
of the assembly.
