John F. Mudd Reappointed.

Hon. John F. Mudd, of this county,
was reappointed by Governor Richie
Friday last as minority member of the
State Racing Commission. Mr. Mudd
recently filed out the unexpired term
OF the late H. Clay Timanus. For
sometime his appointment to a full
term has been a conjecture, as pro-
test by the majority members of the
Commission is said to-have been made
against him. However, the better
Judgment .of Governor Richie pre-
vailed and he was appointed.
OF course, Mr.. Mudd's appointment
is pleasing to his fellow countians and
at the same time il is high tribute to
the loyalty TO home people of our State
Senator who vigorously advocated it.

about it, "From Dixie to Broadway
is one of the best and cleanest shows
today on the American stage. From
the beginning to the end, there are
more than 20 rapidly shifting scenes.
Each one is more bewildering and en-
chanting than the other. The costumes
worn by the leading star ladies are
dazzling to behold and especially the
costumes worn by Florence Mills, who
is not only the star actress but she is
the real queen in Dixie to Broadway.
There are three great ensembles in
the show and each one far surpasses
the other and the "hnale" BY the en-
tire company is truly magnificent to
behold.
Mr.. Leslie deserves great credit for
expending a whole barrel Of money in
putting "From Dixie to Broadway" in
a class by itself. For never before
in this country has there been seventy
FIVE high class colored artists COM
bined into one show, with each and
every one Of them working hard for
its continued success.

1.-THE answer is simple. Power
is lost by friction, and friction is
caused by vibration. Vibration Is
due to lack of balance, either
static or centrifugal. Static bal

the pull Of gravity, but centrifugal
balance IS quite another problem.
