DEACON DUBBs PRESENTED.

The presentation of Deacon Dubbs
in the public hall here on Thursday
evening of last week by local talent,
under direction of Mrs. A. M. Nc
Nance was success in every re-
spect, and every member of the cast
received praise for the manner in
which the various characters were
portrayed.
The play Is a three act comedy
drama and is full of fun, the audi.
ence thoroughly enjoying the pre-
sentation. Every seat in the house
was sold two or three days before
the play was given, and so many de-
mands for tickets were received over
and above the seating capacity of
the hall that 1t was decided to re-
peat the performance ON Thursday
evening of this week and fully half
of the seats were sold by Tuesday.
The gross proceeds were $120.85,
and were donated to the Community
Fire Company of Rising Sun.
The music by Perry Point Orches-
ira, under direction of w. Paul
Keen of this town, was also a
feature much enjoyed, adding great
ly to the entertainment.
Those in the cast who gave such
a splendid presentation of the
laughable sketch were: A. M. Nc
Nance, Clarence Ashby, Granville
Richards, William Ryan, William
Cherry, Mrs. Maude Ashby, Mrs
Emma McNamee, Miss Helen Jenk-
ins, Miss Helen Nichols, Miss Mil
dred Brown, Elizabeth Cooney

TOWN ELECTION.
Two Tickets In Field and Plenty OF
Pep.

The old town was astir as never
before on Monday afternoon, when
the annual election for five Com
missioners to serve as Town
Council for the ensuing year was
held. Ordinarily a town election in
Rising Sun brings out but handful
of voters, 2S casting ballots last
May.
Not so on Monday. Autos were
started going and things were lively
between and o'clock in the after
noon, while the polls were open, the
result being 230>votes were cast, al
most as many as a county primary
brings out.
Owing to dissatisfaction at action
of the old Board of Commissioners
In objecting to the Community Fire
Company using the town water for
practice in handling the fine new
engine recently received, the, Fire
Company decided to place in nomi-
nation a ticket composed Of men
more favorably disposed to the
Company, and this was done, A. M.
McNamee, J. D. Donache, G. H.
Cameron, w. Louis Ryan and David
Reed being selected and their names
published two weeks previous to
day Of election.
This started the ball rolling, and
after much scurrying about by those
opposed to the ticket as published, a
second ticket was finally framed up
Sunday night and Stewart M. Ward,
Albert L. Burlington, Joseph Tyson,
c. T. Dare and J. e. Brumfield an
nounced by the opposition.
An active canvass for votes be-
gan Monday morning and was kept
up untilN the close Of polls at six
o'clock in the evening, the town
fairly bubbling with excitement
The vote resulted as follows: A.
M. McNamee 1873, w. Louis Ryan
1870, c. H. Cameron 1876, J. D. DON
ache 1T, G. T. Dare 116, David
Reed 112, A. l.. Burlington 112, S.
M. Ward SO, Joseph Tyson 98, J. E.
Brumfield 81, the first five mention
ed being elected.
There was a report that eight
more ballots had been cast than the
tally sheet showed, but on going
over the list Judge H. L. Shepherd
and Clerk w. Louis Ryan found
there was voter for every ballot
cast, but that there had been a
repetition in numbering. This nip
ped in the bud the fraud" talk that
had already been started.
If the same lively interest was dis
played in our town election every
year 1t would make the Town Com
missioners feel that our citizens
were really interested in municipal
affairs and would rebound to our
public good.

BoYD's FERRY BRIDGE.

Although it will probably be next
spring before the Boyd's Ferry bridge
is open for traffic, the contractors
are making very good headway.
As the structure stands at this time,
practically all Of the steel work has
been completed with the exception OF
the 3O0-foot span across the stream
proper. The approaches extend alto
gether over more than a thousand feet.
According to speedometer measure
mcnt the bridge is just eighteen miles
from the courthouse at Yorkville, and
sign posts up near the river put Char
lotte Mt 15 miles, making a distance of
SO miles between the two points.
But before there can be any consid-
cradle travel over the bridge there must
be some extensive Improvement in the
roads on this side of the river. The
recently completed link of one and a
half miles from the Ridge road just
east Of Bethel chapel, is very good-a
first -class sand-clay road, in fact; but
that is about all the good road there
is for the next five miles in any direc-
ton on the York side of the river.
Just ut the present time, the Ridge
road from the North and South road
at Bowling Green is pasasble; but
there are parts of it that will be badly
cut up as soon as the winter rains
set in and automobile traffic will be
bad.
A wonderful structure will be the
bridge when it is finished, a great
double track way over q wide expanse
of bottom, and up above the high wa
ter mark of 1916, it looks as if ii
should stand for all time, and it Is
evident that when the roads on the
York side are put in shape this route
between points in York and Mecklen-
burg counties will become great ar
terry of traffic.

Columbia state, October 2S: The

here from Greenville, headquarters of
the Western district, United States
court. Certificates of discharges will
likely be filed in both the Western and
Eastern district courts today, releasing
the liens, it was indicated. OF the to-
tai, SS1,04912 was in taxes for 1916,
1917 and 1918, and S47,456.41 in PEN
