Soon after the fever ticks were

Hartwell Anderson, as the man Of
the world with means, and Miss Car

daughter later in life, were es-
,pecially deserving Of comment. Theirs

Miss Louise Epton Aoss carried her
part as grandmother with grace
which made a certain man in the au-
dience say, "How like my dear old
grandmother she Isl" Natural, effec-
tive and good, those characterize her.
Miss Jane DePass and Leonard
Cudd, as the wife and the artist whose
whose love is an ideal one, let their
parts not only be shown by word and
action, but naturalness that only
finished work can present, shone
throughout.
Bill Gray and Miss Minnie Howard,
as the negro couple, gave the real
comedy to the play. Comedy not of
the low negro type, so often seen, but
of that old-time, ante-bellum kind,
which goes straight to the laugh wells
of the heart and brings the smiles and
unabated and unrestricted laughter.
Dorothy Harris and E. A. Manship,
ias the oiD-squeak and the ffapper
furnished another hit Of comedy
whiol later became true reality. They
carried the present day youths part
, to flush and portrayed the charac-
ter as it is seen daily. Flashy, blatant,
loud and unmindful Of the deeper ro-
manccs OF life. Theirs was difficult

''NO DOGS ALLOWED" WELL
PRESENTED AND RECEIVED
Miss Rebecca Das Most Recent Play is Triumph Splen
didy Trained Cast With Many Stars Garry Out Roles
in Supreme Manner Performance Again Tonight.

Miss Rcbecca Dial's play "No Dogs
Allowed, which proved so popular
when given in Columbia last spring
duplicated its former success when
produced in Epartanburg last Friday
and Saturday nights. Laurens was
not only represented by being the
home Of the author, but the leading
comedy role was played by Bill Gray,
of this city, who is a student of Wof-
ford College. Many of Miss Dials
friends from Laurens attended the
play to attest their interest in her
work. The following is the Spartan
burg Herald's account of the produc-
ton:
Miss Rebecca Dials, graduate Of
Converse College in the class Of 1914,
playwright Of note, and daughter Of
Senator Nat B. Dial, has done it
again. And so has Miss Margaret
Sweeney
Miss Dial's most recent play, "No
Dogs Allowed" was presented to an
audience which largely filled the col
lege chapel last night in its initial
Spartanburg performance. The play
as a play was received with gusto
by those present, and by the more
literarily inclined it was pronounced
q gem.
The production, labeled, according
to the program, "a comedy" bore

play that would bear the title. But,
too, there were those moments Of
pathos and supreme tragedy within
| its length which almost SEEMED to
carry the audience into the heart
wrung pains which the actors por..
trayed. The comedy touches which
abounded were Of the swift, deft
type, with no drag and no faulty mo-
ments. The pathetic moments and
some were especially SO, were strong,
virile and passionate, without the
maudlin sentimentalty which some
times marks these bits Of art in serio-
comedy drama.
AS theme the play>>was idealistic.
A garden OF love was the central
piece, with the action largely center
ing in and around 1t. Love Of purcst

dwell therein. But flashes of material

the characterization.

died June 9th, 1929. She leaves to
mourn her sad loss a husband, moth

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is stilled;
a place is vacant in our heart,
Which never can be filled.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely caskct keeps;
And the sunbeams hover to linger,
Where our darling one sleeps.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved one,
In our Fathers Mansion fair.
A precious one has left us,
Yes forever, more buG we hope to meet

tendent of education, that the State
board of education had caused the
useless expenditure on the part Of
patrons of South Carolina schools
oy duplicate adoption of text books
of approximately quarter of a mil
lion dollars. John E. Swearingen de-
clared that the only answer he
would make was that it would be
unwise to put text book agent
into office at this time.
Discussions of the issues that
now face the people and the State
by Thomas G. Mcleod brought
forth frequent applause from the
audience, especially his emphatic
statements regarding law enforce
ment, which he said is the greatest
question that confronts the world
today, the limited use of the par
doning power, and expansion of the
school system economically and eff
ficiently.
kilograms from several members
of the party were read by the coun-
ty chairman, stating various rea-
sons for their non attendance at
the meeting today.
w. Turner Logan and l. S. Hutto,
candidates for the Congressional
nomination from the First district,
were present and made short ap-
peals for the suffrage of the Ber-
kelley county citizens. Mr.. Logan
the incum bent, was the first to
speak. He dealt largely with the
measures now being considered for
development of the coastal lands of
the Southern States, and told of
the fight that has been waged by
the minority Democrats against
overwhelming odds.
Mr.. Logan paid special attention
to the subject of roads and bridges,
and told of the help being given
by the federal government for this
purpose.
|. S. Hutto, of Dorchester, stated
that Charleston county has always
been in power in Congress, and that
Broad street lawyer invariably
fills this important Office from this
district, representing approximately
2l5,00O citizens. The% time has come
for change, said Mr.. Hutto, who
claims that a large number of citi-
Zcns of Charleston county and city
are endorsing his candidacy. He
charged that John p Grace is no.
torious, both in the State and ma
ton, and that the present mayor
used his Influence to disfranchisc
the farmers of Charleston county
at the county convention in May.
Mr.. Hutto told of the organiza-
tion of the federal reserve banking
system, and said that during the
war, these institutions were of un-
told value, but had now become in
struments or torture for the farm
crs Of the South. He promised to
fight for relief from the present
condition Of affairs in connection
with these banking institutions.
Mr.. Logan and Mr.. Hutto will
address the voters of the city at Hi

row night at 8 o'clock at the meet

Charges Rings" Supporting Othe,
Woman Candidate
MANY SPEAKERS ABSENT
Candidates for State Offices Will Ad-
dress Voters at Charleston
Tonight.

Moncks Corner, July 3.-Rivalling
interest the attacks that have been
, staged during the State campaign
party was the expression of Mrs. e.
Barton Wallace, candidate for super
intendent of education at the meeting
here today against what she termed
the political rings and clubs" that
are actively supporting the candidacy
of another candidate of the feminine
sex for the same office.
After telling in detail of her ex-
perience in the schools and col
leges of the State, her work among
tile American soldiers in France
during the war, and the establish
ment of the children's clinic at Co.
lumbia, Mrs. Wallace stated to the
audience which filled the court
room of the Berkeley County court
house that she was tenderfoot
in politics, that she had found no
time to devote to women's clubs on
account of the fact that the major
portion of her life had been devoted
TO the lnstilling of ideals and
knowledge in the lives of children
IN the communities where she has
labored, and that her afternoons,
instead Of being spent among club
women, had been spent among the
unfortunate children who daily
visit the Columbia clinic for treat
ment, recreation, and the funda-
mentals of primary education.
Mrs. Wallace stated if she had
desired, she could have become af
filiated with the most select clubs
in the city Of Columbia by invita-
ton, and that the only circle Or
ring" with which she was aligned
was that circle whose members de-
sired to render the greatest serv
ice possible to humanity, and that
the office of State superintendent
would open up new avenues for ex-
pansion of the work in which she
has spent more than fifteen years.
George X. Laney, candidate for
Governor, also came into the lime
light in a bitter denunciation of
: John II. Duncan, following state
ments made repeatedly from the
platform by Duncan that Laney had
shown a willingness to dispose of
the Columbia Canal for the paltry
sum of $4,000 to f. w. Robertson,
of Columbia, instead of showing
determination to develop the prop
erty for the financial benefit of the
State. "Any man who intimates any
crookcdncss on my part in con-
nection with the canal is liar" de-
clarcd Mr.. Laney, who has served
for number of years as member
of the canal commission of the Cen
eral Assembly.
"My whole life has been lived
with the purpose ever in mind of
building character for myself, and
1T shall not be bcsmirchcd," was
the emphatic conclusion of the Sena-
tor from Chesterfield county.
