An Experiment in Shakespear
can Scenes.

Dear Advertiser:
l cannot remember what the sub
ject of my last letter was. So busy
are all my days that from one day to
the next is like a new era. Sufficient
to say, however, that my last letter
can not have had so high flown sub
iect as the one 1 have chosen for this
week.
The u. P. S. senior class is present
ing the annual play tomorrow night.
This year it consists in two Shakes
pearean scenes, the cor scene from
"The Merchant of Venice" and a
scene from wTwelfth Night" This is
something quite new, here and 1 am
wondering whether the typical west
ern oil town audience will receive
them stolidly, and endure the efforts
of the students, or whether they will
guess what they do not know, believe
what they may not understand, and
enjoy them. That remains to be
seen.
"Teain. v.timawab- dnlo fix fix Xxx
l have attended so many very poor
lyceums that I have through the
years, come to believe that one
should bring ones audience up to a
high standard, rather than go pur-
posely down to theirs.
Good things are often simple and
comprehensive enough. Even though
a person may not know the difference
between Shakespeare and a braek-
fast food, he can not help but be en-
tertained by the plot, amused by the
wit, inspired by the love scenes, en-
lightened by the authors vast knowl-
edge of human nature, elevated by
the choice language and broadened
lby the new knowledge of being car
ried out of himeslf to the pompous
and dignified days of yore.
To me there are few funnier
things in the wide world than dress
rehearsal in which students are be-
decked in the robes of state, with
clanking swords at their sides and
venerable grey wigs on their heads.
Even my keen sense of responsible
ity and deep interest does not prevent
hysterical laughter when I see some
awkward youth in purple velvet
robe playing the part of a. judge,
when he would infinitely rather be
throwing goals at basket ball game.
They all look like martyrs with high
ruffs around their necks and large
mustaches that transform them into
pirates and Italian fruit venders..

Gus looking character. The need for
the stately manner of Venetian
court and the delicate, graceful
movements befitting a palatial draw

The present is the burning, hurried
present with them, and the past
should be guided and Influenced by
it. Money and material wealth are
the goal and ambition of the western
er, and the finesse Of artistic acting
| is thing that is to be neglected, if
not absolutely disregarded. These
characteristics are mostly true of the
boys, for the girls, some of them,
have an infinite capacity for taking
pains, which capacity, however, does
not amount to genius, as Carlyle
terms it.
The would-be stately and large
Antonio and the should-be prominent
Bassania find the elaborately carved
swords clanking at their sides much
more adaptable for punching some
nearby character in the side, than
for unsheathing, and threatening an
adversary.

have not meant to disparage the stu
dents of the U. P. S., for they are the
most kindly disposed and tractable
group I have ever worked with, but
1 am commenting upon the attitude
of modernism toward antiquity.
It is hard for the modern student
to say Glow much more elder thou
art than thy looks" when he is accus-
toned to saying out here, "He is a
keen looking chap" In the west the
word keen has lost its former mean
ing ofayery sharp and cutting, as ap:.
Piled generally 10 an edge and now
means good looking, desirable or
pleasant. More often it is a person,
and not knife that is keen. l fear
for the future dictionary if usage has
much to do with the good repute of
word.

Early Monday Morning.
Ex-Convict Killed.

Trenton, March 20.-. G.. Moore,
alleged safecracker and escaped con-
vict from the Georgia penitentiary,
where he was serving g sentence of
20 years, was shot and killed early
this morning by Ernest Crouch while
the former was in the act of opening
a safe in the store of Mathis & Whit.
lock here, and L. K. Rawls of Colum-
bia, alleged to have been an accom-
plice in the robbery, was later appre-a
hended on the highway to Aiken and
has been lodged in the Edgefeld jail
Mr.. Crouch has rooms above the
store and was awakened by a noise
in the store underneath. Taking his
gun, heswent out and Moore emerged
from the store with pistol and a
fashlight. Mr.. Crouch fired twice,
the first load of buckshot taking eff
feet in the left leg. The second shot
proved fatal, Moore falling dead with
the fashlight gripped in oAe hand
and pistol in the other. ! ~
The safe in the store was ready for
blowing, the dial having been pried
out, soap spread over the load and
the fuse attached.
Prior to entrance into the Mathis
& Whitlock store, the store of G. W.
Wise had been entered and the safe
blown open. A knife and $50 were
taken from the Wise store. The knife
was found on Rawls.
Residents, awakened by shots,
gathered hurriedly and G. w. Wise,
L. C. Edison, Lewis Harrison, Hilton
Duncan and ]. D. Mathis, Jr-, follow
ed the track of the automobile in
which a second man disappeared :
when Moore was shot. A heavy rain
had fallen about midnight and the
track was easily followed. NearNAiIk--.

upon Rawls, his car having stuck and 5
negroes were assisting him in his eff

claimed that he was from Augusta
and denied any knowledge of the rob-:
berry at Trenton. A conductor on one
of the Southern trains through here
says he saw Rawls and Moore in Co.
lumbia Sunday afternoon and in
Batesburg Sunday night.
While in Wise's store time was
taken to eat some apples.
I Moore had in his pockets a jar OF
fuses and also map of the surround
ing country.
Mrs. Moore came to Trenton from
Columbia and identified Moore. She
said Moore and Rawls left Columbia
together. She did not ask for the
body, which will be buried by the
county officials.
Until few months ago Rawls is
said to have operated a store in
Batesburg, and since that time to
have been making his horae in Co
lumbia.

that he had deposited $4,000 in a

Meanwhile, the police had unearthed

strued as bearing heavily against the
