CREETS HAMLET;
MAKES BIC HIT.
TWO MAGNIFICENT AUDIENCES
PROVE coNcLUslvELY COME.
BACK OF LEGITIMATE DRAMA
LEIBER IS WONDERFUL ACTOR

pearcan Plays--Rig Crowd Sees
Merchant of Venice at Matinee.

The big Grand Theatre was packed
from pit to dome, with standing room
'nly available, when promptly at $3.50
o'clock last night the curtain was
rung up on Hamlet, one of the great
est Of all the great Shakespearean
plays.
Fritz Leiber, playing the leading
role, completely captured his audi
ence, carrying 1t back with him to
the days when "knighthood was in
flower" For three hours the audi
ence lived, in the long ago, and was
held in the spell OF Mr.. Leiber's
matchless Interpretation of the char.
acter Hamlet.
The entire cast was well balanced,
each player seeming to fit into the
part assigned to him as do cogs in
delicate machinery. The drama was
superb, and time and time again ap-
plause swept the house.
Not only did Hamlet draw an enor-
nous crowd, but the theatre was COM
fortably filled for the Merchant of
Venice presented at the Wednes-
day afternoon matinee. The attend

proves beyond a shadow of a doubt,

Manager Jackson, of the Grand, Is
to be congratulated upon the success
of these great plays here. When he
contracted for the appearance Of
these ShaAespearean productions he
had no means of knowing how they
would be received in Columbia, and
1t was necessary for him to post q
large sum of guarantee money to se-
cure the plays, but they went over
Big People from every section of
the county came to see them. Many
witnessed both performances, and all
who did are unanimous in the belief
that Leiber is one of the greatest ac-

Many have expressed the hope and
belief that Manager Jackson will in
the near future bring Leiber here in
other of these great dramas.

Chairman of Railroad Executives Pre-

Men Are Laid Of.
(By United Press.)

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Two hundred
thousand railroad employees have been
laid off by sixty-four railroads OF the
country since September !.
Thirty-six railroads failed to earn
operating expenses in January, and
twenty-eight of these raods did not
earn their taxes and fixed charges.
These statements were made today
by w. w. Attobury, chairman of the
labor board of the railroad executives
association, in supporting the de-
mands of the railroads for the reduc-
Ion in wages.
Attobury declared these lines rep
resented forty per cent of the rail
rad mileage in the country.
Labor leaders opposing the wage
cut demands declared, the railroads
in an effort to drive wages down are
trying to coerce the federal labor
board to disregard the Esch- Cummins
law.
Nothing was said of the TWEEN
ty per cent increase In both pas
senger and freight rates granted to
the roads by the interstate commerce
commission, which. was to have in.
creased the roads revenue.

MUCH WORK DONE
BY MISS WEED IN
HER MONTH. HERE.
MANY SCHOOLS ARE VISITED AND
HUNDREDS OF PUPILS HAVE
BEEN EXAMINED.
ATTENTION GIVEN PUBLICITY
During the Coming Month She Expects
to Accomplish Even Better Results
for the couse of Health---Summary
of Her Report.

During the month that she has beer
in the county Miss Louise Weed. the
Red Cross nurse, has been actively or
the Job all of the time. She has moi
only given much time to publicity
work and to tours over the county but
she has visited many schools and ex
amined large number of pupils. The
following summary of her work for the
month gives some idea of the value
OF Miss Weed to this county:
Report of school work: Pupils ex
amined 234; normal of this number
~; enlarged tonsils 1O4; Adenoids 27;
underweight 2; defective hearing 5;

Time spent in schools 2715 hours
miscellaneous visits s; talks to pupils
in class 13; parents meetings address.
ed 5; inspection of school premises 1.
The coming month promises bet
ter opportunity for the nurse to really
show report, as the publicity of our
plan is fairly well before the county.
The nurse hopes to communicate with
Mrs. Hatcher chairman Junior Red
Cross) and to have the two of us to
make a. tour Of the county, visiting
every school and organizing both our
Health Clubs and Junior r. C. The
schools will be out before the nurse
can inspect every one in the county
this term, SO If we can get the Health
Clubs organized we believe that after
school Is out we can maintain the in
terest in the Health Clubs thru our
Community Clubs, Mothers Clubs,
Corn and Pig Clubs. We hope to have
Health" Day in each community as
often as is convenient and try to sti-
mulate the work until school term
again, when the inspections will be-
gin again. After the schools close,
there will still be the Home Visits.
Then too after schools close the nurse

Second Session OF Peace
Conference PROBES Barren
Of Any Tangible Results

No agreement was reached at the
second plenary session of the peace
conference, in other words the meet.
ing of representatives of the annexa.
tion and anti-annexation factions, held
at the court house this morning.
At the request of Senator Looney md
Representatives Russell and Jones the
conference composed of w. S. Beas-
ley, William E. Britain and Henry
Ashton Porter for annexation, and
William B. Greenlaw, John Shelby
Coffey and Robert L. Mckinney
against annexation, was reconvened
this morning with the hope that an
agreement would be reached. The let
ter of the Legislators reconvening the
conference, instructed the members
to reopen and discuss every issue
and every phase OF the issue involved.
After the conference had been in
session for an hour or more the con.
clusion was reached by some of the
members that it was an idle waste of
time to attempt TO bring about an
agreement and that the wooden han.
die could never be welded to the pew.
ter spoon. Thereupon the conference
adjourned without day.
1t is the general opinion of the peo-
pie here that the suggestion from the
legislators for harmonious agree
ment is about as chimerical a propo-
sition as has ever been advanced and
that its only effect is to further delay
a settlement of the issue. One side
is for annexation on any reasonable
and fair terms, but the other side is
against annexation, Under these con-
ditions the differences are irreconcila-
BILE. A
There is a general demand here
from both sides that the members of
the legislature WHO must settle the
question act at once and without fur
ther delay It is agreed that there is
no profit in continuing the fight, that
the whole matter Is in the hands of
the legislators andfthat they know all
the facts and mustsssume full respon-
sibilitq What the people want is

tors from this county announcing f.

the strongest in the world" it was de-
clared in special report made to the

this country to pin its faith on air

The suspension of the building pro-
