"What's in a Name?" was the D
question that occurred on seeing the1 p
"Million Dollar Doll in Paris". There jh
wasn't any million, or doll?or for;b
that matter, Paris. But it was a | p
wiiidinai onmpriu with a ren-! d
I. assault; iiiuoivMi vv?wv.,, 7 ?- ? A .
ertoire of only one "parlor joke" and p
the recording angel would hardly a
>lush on hearing the propergander t:
joke.. b
It was one show where the caste s
without exception, seemed to take a,8
delight in playing. On account of J ^
sickness the chorus was small, but| v
those that appeared got into the j
thing with their whole souls?and j c
bodies?and the show was put across! ^
smoothly. The comedy sketches were
splendid and Harvey .D Orr, himself, s
is "nigger" was ubiquitous and lots ^
>f fun. u
t;
Mr. Verchott is to be congratulated
ci
on the fact that he has gotten so
many "above the average" shows to
appear here this season. j q
The other day Chief Justice Eu-jl
gene B. Gary was walking by one of ^ I
the new buildings being erected in c
Aibbeville and he saw a negro laying g
bricks that he had sentenced several b
years ago to the State penitentiary ^ p
for some crime or other. The negro ^h
had been a cotton field hand, hardly j s
earning a living, before he got into^
trouble, but while he was in charge d
of the State, he was sent up to Clem- s
son College with other negroes to r
help, as a laborer, to build one of the c
brick buildings there. While working ii
at Clenyson the negro learned the h
bricklayers trade. Judge Gary asked s
the contractor about the negro and tl
among the questions was, "how much h
is John making?" The answer dis- t:
closed that the negro was making as p
much as the Chief Justice of the a
State of South Carolina, who had j t:
spent years of study in preparation1 n
for the bar?not to mention thejd
money spent for the academic and a
law education?and in addition, had a
labored for years as a lawyer before tl
attaining to his present distinction,'h
while the negro bricklayer had prac-' sj
;ically no education and possibly)
:ould not write his own name. Should
;his same negro be convicted in court 0
a,
igain the judge would probably hesi-:
iate to add to the H. C. L. by sen- s'
,encing him. ^

? 's!
C. Guerdon King, appointee of,S(
Governor R. H.? Cooper, as sheriff;
)f Anderson county, will have toj
fight for his office, according to j
nformation received by the Daily j
Mail. Mr. King will have to institute'pi
proceedings against Mr. Sanders in.ei
bsp Mr. Sanders refuses to give up!tl

thereto, when formal demand isjc<
nade upon him to do so by the ap-|tl

At present, it is understood Mr. G
King has not received his commis- 1
sion. Bond for Mr. King is now being tl
prepared by a bonding company and a
this bond is forwarded to the gov-v ^
ernor's office as soon as it is com- c
pleted. When the bond is completed e
and his commission is granted, Mr. v

any, who promptly furnished their I
emonstration plant to give the office |
lenty of light. This outfit consist of. ?
small gasoline motor and an elec-J I
ric generator, using a small storage |
attery as a demonstrator and is the| |
ame type as used by the many pro-! |

hem this season. Mr. Mauldin,j 1
? E
rhen he heard of the trouble of theji j
>aily Mail, gladly came to the res-J g
ue, brdught up his truck and hitched t j
is wires to the regular electric sys-' |
em in the office. He was forced toj |
ubstitute different globes to obtain |
he best results. In a very few min- i |
tes, Mr. Mauldin and his able assis- |
ant gave the Daily Mail an abund- |
nee of light.
Power was furnished equally as |
uick by the R. D. Henderson, Distri- g
utors of the Cleveland Tank Type |
'ractors. Mr. Bannister, who in Mr. |
lenderson's absence was ready tO( j
o-operate with the Daily Mail in j
etting out a paper. ^ Mr. Bannister,! j
y the way, is about the most ex-' 1
ert operator of a tractor that ever |
it Anderson, is the unanimous deci-' |
ion of the entire Daily Mail force.' j|
'he tractor was brought to the back. 1
oor of the Daily Mail office, and two' 1
kids placed in position to allow it a _ |
unway to get into the office. Of ?
ourse the back door was just an. 1
i s
ich too narrow, and the door frame m
ajJ to removed, and then the propo- I
ition of running that tractor down j
he steps was the question before the j
ouse. The arrangement of this por- j
ion of the office is peculiar, an iron |
j
ost set directly in front of the door, i
i n
nd a space of some five feet between jj
his post and a'stove. What Mr. Ban- i
I s
ister did was to run that tractor i
5
own the incline, close to. the post 1
nd then turn on the skids, and with 1
I s
bout an inch on each side, between ?
le iron post and the red hot stove, y 1

Once in the basement,, the ma- ,
hine was hitched to the linotypes by
belt arrangement, and the motor
towed down sufficiently to operate wr
le machines. The speed of a linoype
must not be allowed to exceed a ea]
ertain number of lines per minute, ^a
'hich speed required the slowing *"
own of the Cletrac motor Consider- ^as
bly. After several trials, the proper 001
peed was maintained, and the little s*r
Id motor has been plugging along at me
rie proper speed ever since. The
lletrac is 22 horse power, and the
ower required to run the linotype ^ia
lachines is less than two horse.
| Gr
The press requires about 7 horseower
for its operation, and the Cle-1
rac is expected to turn the press af-j b0
er is finishes setting the type for the1 m

le Genco Lighting System havej 0f
aved the day for the Daily Mail to- j jn(
