On is known as the pessimist, th other as the optimist. Betwee: them is another character seldor heard of: it is the meliorist. H is neither too highly elevated b success nor too greatly discoui aged by failure. He is the plod der: and he has his polace in life Sometimes he holds things tc gether when otherwise the would go to wreck. The opti mist is at times too giddy wit] success to count the possibilit; of opposition and may under es timate the forces of tl': enemny The meiiorist.on the other hand weighs things well, counting th cost. and acts with full know] ege of the matter in hand. The optimist is a great socia asset and cannot be dispense< with. He it is that keeps hi face to the future. We ar, proud of him. But the melioris is also important, and his wor! Social.

A furore is being created in our community by the new play "Between Two Lives" which was given at the school last Fri day evening by local talent. The interest in this drama was so genuine that several adjoining' communities asked for its repro duction. In accordance it was given at the Cedar Creek school house last Monday evening. The. play deserves the enthusiasm it is arousing, as it emphasises the world wide "Back-to the-Farm" movement. The reason why boys and girls leave home is brought out forcibly in the first act. While there is humor run-: ning through the entire play, there is a serious and earnest purpose underlying the drama. The truths are brought home by the actors in a way that could never be done by a lecturer. The young people in the E#iy, a:er revoiting against the nar row :m2uence of their mother and the district schooi teacher who has tried to show her pupils the glory of country life: the dignty of tarnung over clerking n stores: selling medicines over the counter of a drug store, or handing out somebody else's money over the bank counter. In the last act, the change that has taken place is brought out by the old farmer wh:n he says: "The old farm is doin' glorious. It looks a miracle, but it ain't. It's just these boys here's mixed some brains up in the soil. that 'splains everything." The following is the cast of characters: Henry Wilson. M. R. Robertson. Sara. his wife, Mrs. 0. C. Cau then. Jack, their son, J. D. Griffin. Betty. their daughter, Miss Osborne. Silas Watson, B. R. Beckham. Gertie Bowers. Miss Perrv. Will Jefferson. J. F. Castiles. Trueletta. Miss Hamilton. astus VaShIngton Linco*n. G. L. Perry:. %a Sni,. V. R. Ashfcrd. Jr. Donald Brooks. H. G. (;ibson. PriSon Giard. 0. .Tathien. A better selection of characters could not have been made. Each actor caught the spirit of the play and lived the part. J. D. Griffin acted well the very diffi cult part of the hero. We> sym pathise with him in his effort to win the reserved, enthusiastic teacher of the district school, Miss Perry. A more congenial couple could not be found than Donald and his pretty little wife, Betty. Castle, as the escaped convict, made a decided hit with the audience. Of course the. man-hater, Abigail .Jones, finally agreed to take the man, Sam Snipes. Miss Hamilton and G. L. Perry starred as the negro characters in the play. The audience was kept in a continu ous roar of laughter by their quaint sayings and comical ac tions. Those who have seen the play express a hope that it may be given in every community' of our county. Rev. Mr. Mason is away help ing to conduct a meeting this week. Miss Osborne. who has taught music in our midst during this: school session, leaves Wednes day for Lamar. She has made: for herself many friends while here and we hope to have her: with us again. The rain has done much good, and the farmers are about, through planting their corn now.: Dr. Hamilton spent Sunday at Hamilton Heights near Carlisle with his parents. Miss Zeline Mann of Columbia was home for the play. Mr. Charlie Bro:>ks of Colum bia visited at Mr. Gibson's last week. Mrs. Marion Mason and chil dren have returned from a visit to Rock Hill.
