THE CLANSMAN IN NEW YORK. Dixon's Play Enthusiastically Received By Large Audience. To all appearances "The Clansman' completely captured the huge New York audience gathered in the Liberty theatre Tuesday night, says a dispatch The applause began early and kept up till passages in the play were frequently Interrupted. This continued till at the end of the second act the curtain rose again and again, while the players grew weary of bowing their acknowledgments. Finally, after continued applause and loud calls of "author" and "Dixon," Mr. Thomas Dixon. Jr., appeared and bowed again and again tc th? aalvns that ereeted him. When the audience at last quieted down Mr. Dixon spoke as folows: "My profession for twenty years has been public speaking and if there is one thing that tires me It is the sound of my own voice. I've a notion that it has tired other people, too. People say. The Clansman has been a success in the south. You have demonstrated tonight that there Is no north, there Is no south, we are all one people. The simple fact is that joy. sorrow, peace and suffering are all universal and belong to the human heart everywhere." These sentiments were followed by another outburst of applause, which lasted for several minutes. Repeated rounds of applause marked the close of every act and even the rise of the eurtaln. The company as a whole was very much better than that which appeared in the south. The new cast contains several people of known reputation. Only two or three of those that appeared in the south are in the present company. One of these is Austin Webb, who did such splendid work as the negro. Lynch. The play is also much more sumptuously mounted. A great many southerners were in the audience and these were particularly enthusiastic. A good many negroes were also present. The theatre was filled from top to bottom. In speaking of "The Clansman," the New York Herald today says: "Boisterous but harmless was the ebullition of sentiment aroused last night by the production of Mr. Thomas Dixon's dramatization of his own novel, "The Clansman." at the Liberty theatre. "From the continuous and enthusiastic though staccato applause with which it was greeted, it was evident 4 ? a# tKa lortro Q llH I An OP limi a iiiajvuij vi tuv .^0v v. gathered to hear it was composed of New Yorkers of southern birth or sympathies. But this majority was entirely good natured and it met with no responsive antagonism. "The play itself, in a coarse and crude way, presents the story of the post bellum periods when the negro, through the instrumentality of 'carpetbag' adventurers from the north obtained temporary ascendancy over the south. That period is, happily over, and one rather resents this appeal to sectional prejudice so long after the fact. "Happily, the appeal has so little force that it can do no permanent harm. Indeed, as presented last night, the dominant features were simply those of a negro minstrel show. It was the histrionic exploitation of the old time comicalities of darkeydom that knit the audience into a kinship of applause." Caphrs In Trouble. ? President Roosevelt, it is stated on the best authority. has told District Attorney Capers that he will not be appointed to the judgeship in case provision for a new Federal Judge for South Carolina is made by congress. There is some doubt, also, about Mr. Capers being reappointed to the position he now holds. The term of District Attorney Capers ended on December 16. There has as yet been no reappointment, for the reason that a.n investigation is be lng made by an agent of Attorney General Moody Into certain charges made against Mr. Capers. At the department of justice It Is acknowledged that formal charges have been filed affecting the efficiency and character of Mr. Capers. What these are, or who filed them, the department will not disclose. They are of a character, however, calling for investigation, and this is under way. It is the president's purpose to reappoint Mr. Capers to his present position, unless this investigation should disclose facts that make such reappointment impossible.?News and Courier. Italian Cotton Laborers.?The experiment of Col. Maxwell, the largest Individual cotton planter In Louisiana, with importing Italian families on his plantations for the purpose of obtaining laborers In his cotton fields, proved so successful, that It is probable that an effort will be made not only in Louisiana, but also In Tennessee and other states, to Import Italian laborers to supplant the negroes working in the cotton fields. Col. Maxwell imported twenty-one Italian families last summer and they proved of the greatest value. He was so well pleased with his experiment that he has decided to fill every cabin on his plantation with Italians as rapidly as possible. He firmly believes that the Importation of Italian laborers and their families would definitely and satisfactorily settle the cotton labor problem. The movement is rapidly spreading In other cotton states and an effort will be made to bring a large number of Italians to the cotton belt. No Silver Dollars of 1905.?Many inquiries have been received regarding the Item recently published that 51,000 Is offered for a silver dollar of 1905. The man who made the offer stands by it and believes that almost any coin dealer would double li, on me gruunu that no silver dollars were coined in 1905, as no law was passed authorising the secretary of the treasury to coin them. At the end of 1904 the quantity of silver dollars in circulation was so great that no necessity was felt Qf continuing their coinage. Besides, the amount of bullion available for the purpose was at that time limited. It is possible that the coinage of silver dollars may be resumed this year. Government officials in Washington said Wednesday that counterfeit 1905 silver dollars are likely to turn up as a result of the publication. Whenever a premium is offered for silver dollars the counterfeiters become very busy, because they are able to put even more silver into a dollar than the government does and still make a handsome profit, provided they don't get caught. Greenwood Bond Case.?The case of Graham and Marsh, the former auditor and latter treasurer of Greenwood county vs. E. Ellen Folsom and Others, was decided by the suprerne court of the United States last Monday adversely to the county. The opinion of the court was delivered by Justice McKenna and affirmed the decision al the United States circuit court for the district of South Carolina. The action was brought to compel payment of Interest on $38,000 worth of bonds issued by the township al TMinetv-Si* of Abbeville, afterwards ol Greenwood county, to aid In construction of the Greenville and Port Royal railroad. The road was never constructed, but the circuit court held foi Fol8om On the ground that she was an Innocent purchaser. I The case Involved the validity of i South Carolina state law directing tha ' taxes should not be collected to pa] bonds given on railroads that wer< r never built, but the court held thai . the obligation of the contract mus i not be thus Impaired. Immigration In 1905.?The official: i figures given out Wednesday by th< > bureau of statistics on Ellis Island N. Y., show that the immigration aurIr.g the year 1905 was enormous. Ii I was far greater than in 1903, which had been the banner year, and alsc i much greater than in 1904. The granc ! total is nearly up to the million mark There was substantial increases in al classes and despite the fact that th< immigration figures were larger thar ever before, in the history of the port the number of persons traveling ir the cabins of the liners reached enormous proportions. Of the total o) 992,065 persons who arrived by the various liners from foreign ports the largest number was carried in ships of the North German Lloyd lines froir Bremen and from Mediterranean ports In 125 voyages 177,916 passengers were landed in this port by the steamships of this line and of these 15,974 were first cabin voyagers. Next In ordei came the Hamburg-American line then the Cunard line. Of the total ol 870,012 steerage passengers brought here, about 718,000 were Immigrants. Profit In Mulss.?With ordinary farm mules commanding the prices that they now do we cannot understand why South Carolina farmers persist in paying the prices rather than raise all they need at home and a few to sell. Mules can be raised in this county successfully as has been demonstrated at the state farm. A sound young mule of good size is worth from $200 to $250, and it has been asserted and uncontradicted that the cost of raising a mule is not more than $75 at the maximum, while under favorable conditions the cost is less than $50.?Sumter Daily Item. The above are facts that are true and plain to every right-thinking person. It has been to us a mystery all along why so little interest is taken in such matters by our people, Why not go to a little extra trouble and raise a mule or two, say every two or three years. This can be done on hundreds of farms in Dorchester county. And yet if there is a single farm in the county putting forth any sucn energy, it is unknown to the writer. We hope this matter will receive due consideration by at least some of out most progressive farmers. It is something of no little importance to oui people and if the suggestions are followed, it will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to the farmers and taxpayers of Dorchester county.? Dorchaster Eagle. The Greenville News.?The Green vllle, S. C., News makes announcement of the fact that Mr. Geo, W. Brunson, Jr., is to take the editorship of that paper and will assume his duties about the 22nd instant. Since the resignation of Mr. R. W. Simpson, Jr., of the editorship of the News, some two or three months ago, the editorial work has been done, and well done, by Mr, Douglas Jenkins, the telegraph and news editor of the paper. Mr. Brunson is a South Carolinian by birth and has seen newspaper service on the Wilmington Dispatch and Charlotte News and is now editor of the Norfolk Dispatch. He goes to his new field well equipped for the work before him. He made many friends while he lived in Charlotte and these hope that he will find his new position an agreeable one. ?Charlotte Observer. AT THE CHURCHES.

You Can Trust The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company as you would an old friend. It has served three generations of men, and during its entire career, covering a period of sixty-one years, has never deceived or disappointed a single policy holder. Among its policy holders today are Grandfathers, Fathers and Sons, and many of them have attested their satisfaction in a series of letters which the Company has published and which are yours for the asking. The company is stronger in nnnflHoncp and affections of the American people today than ever before. Of course, the other fellow wants your business and he has Just as much right to want It as I have and all that, but If you will lnvestagate the record of his company and the provisions of its contracts, as compared with the Mutual Benefit, I am sure you will decide that it Is not as much to your interest to Insure In his company.
