74 -SCENE FROM ACT II, IN "THE CLI * * * * * * * ** * * * ** * * * * * AT THE OPERA HOUSE. * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * A large audience filling the opera house, greeted "Buster Brown" on Tuesday night. The play was up to the standard set by this attraction in thg past. Master Harold, the tiny chap w ho plays the role created and made famous by Outcault .in the Sunday sup -plements, appealed to the :hearts of his audience, and had excellent s-2p port. It is a clean and wholesome and refreshing play. ' Ther is a eti nlg in theI aeofthe great Caruso and the he - rRne Adelina, in "The Climax," which AJoseh Weber is sending to the opera use here Friday night. The great tenor svas losing his voice and an operation was necessary. For a time it was feared that music lovers throughout the world would never again hear his golden notes. Imagine the anguish of' the temperamental Italian. If a man who has the world 'of music at his feet can suffer near to the verge of collapse, what must a 'woman~ who is striving to be a prima edonna. er dure when she is told that hever again can she sing another a ote? It is the human soul note, which has been struck by the anaster hand of Bdward Locke, that makes "The Cli max" a play which appeals to all that is good in us, and therein lies the secret of its lasting success. Last i- ason Mr. Weber sent out five ccr panies to meet the demand of the pub 'ai to witness he play; t:his year the demIand for it is even greater, by rea on of th commendation which is limit d to the confines of the North Am2eican cont Ment.

"The Cow and the Moon," probably on%of the biggest and massive scenic productions in the line of musical ex travaganza that will visit here this season, is announced for presentation at the city opera house on Thursd'ay, February 9. It is distinctly a show of novelties, coloring of the brightest hues, yet in keeping with their locals. Gold and silver showers come one after another, in fact it is said to be a glorious glit tering pageant. This, however, mere ly forms the background for a story of imagination, dealing with earth be ings and people from the moon that makes an evening of solid fun and aughter. The presenting company numbers some forty or more personages head ed by that inimitable eccentric come dian, Chas. A. Sellon, ' who pleased theatre goers hereabouts so well in that merry musical extravaganza, "The Cat and the Fiddle," on previous occasions. His support includes the Dresden Doll comedienne, Hazel Rice, said to be the most diminutive singing oubrette on the etage today. Sca::cely four feet tall, but perfect in form, her leverness is exciting the most favor ble comment. Bess Taft, who is mak ng herself famous for her portrayals f fairy parts, wil be the Genii. She aso has been seen -before with Mr. Sellon's productions. Miniva Scott, ecently known as the lady beautiful f vaudeville, is :naking her debut in he musical field.

Then .' was n' cr * *.pl of labo for v..s chper thun *nu*c'ine pi2ing Now thing~s are diTrent. Common ~abcr has mnore than doub!e:i what it was then. The cost of picking cotton has gone from 40 cents to G0 cents up to G0 cents to $1.20 pe'r hundredweight. It seems 4hat if Mason's machine w;as in operation today its cost of~ picking mig:it still be $10 a bale. Tbie cost of hand picking today in the East is, say, $i a bale and in Texas and Oklahoma it ranges from $12 to $18 a bale. Therefore. Mason's machine operatd toay might be profitable in the West a.nd might break about even if operat ed in the Eas.t. It is claimed that the Price-Camp bell machine carries al1l the good fea tures of the old Mason machine, and nesses have been eliminated. Instead of mul power it usEts automobile pow er. It stands to reason that -the Price Campbell people have made labor scarce and high-priced at least. Every unfavorable condition for machine picking has changed for the better. General indusAtrial development has made labor scarce and high-priced. The old crop which yielded $300,000, 000 is now replaced by a crop yielding annually $SOO,000.000. A former sur plus of labor is now replaced by a high price and deficiency of labor. Nobody can ever say when an invention is "perfected." By perfected I mean when it has reached the point where it may be practically and profitably op?rated. Nothing but dividend* will prove that point. When I saw the Ma son machine operate, I thought it might, with very, little improvement, be profitably operated after two years further experimenting. Looking back now, I can see that the economic con ditions were then unfavorable and these grew worse. I still think the Mason machine might have beien per fected if the machine alone had been cons.idered. The following testimonial shows that this same conviction about 'the Price-Campbell machine was in the minds of a representative body of planters in Marlboro county, S. C., in 1909: '"Bennettsville, S. C., Oct. 18, 1909. "We, the undersigned, residents of Marlboro county, S. C., have today had the opportunity to see the Price-Camp bell cotton picker in operation, and take great pleasure in endorsing it as a complete mechanical and commercial success. It -picks cotton at. the rate of 600 pounds an hour and does not injure the plant or bolls: W. W. Mc Kinnon, A. L. B-reeden, T. J. Breeden, per W., Harrie Bristed, C. E. Exum, F. Moore, J. H.

Carroll, J. R. Hab bard, John L. McLaurin, R. C. Terrell, A. J. Matheson, J. A. Pate, A. P. Bree den, J. J. Hackhart, H. R. Townsend, J. D. Moore." Nobody yet knows whether the Price-Campbell machin.e has reached the point of practlical development where it may be practically and pro fitably operated. In his pamphlet Mr. Price states that there are on file in the patent office more than 450 patents on cotton pickers. Which one of these will be worked ocut to a finish, nobody yet knows. The Masons, at the time, looked very favorable but it transpired that conditions having nothing to do with th7 economical op.ecatons of the menUilne affected its succs,. Mr. Lowry of Bc..ton:, had a 'nachine in Charlotte which m--ny tl'ink would have suc ceeded it .M.r. Lowry had not insisted in inventin.g an au.tomobile to carry his machine as we.ll as the picking machinery itself. The picking appara tus did well, but the automobile was far behind the art of automobile build ing. Here again, 'possible success was interfered with 'by one of the factors of a machine which was wholly irrele vant to cotton picking, except as- a-n adjunct, an'd which might ~have been bougfht in th.e perfiected state to begin with. Mr. Price's pamphlet gives abundant testiimonials, but Maison got these, and Lowry got them also. Most of them were evidently given without consideration as most testimonials are given. Pe'rhaps 'the mos.t important of all the te'stimonials given in Mr. Price's pamphlet is the one by a far mer's wife, who after her husband ~had spoken favorably of the machine added, "Yes, and you don't have to cook for it." T'his is really a very im portaint eleernent in the whole business, because in the cotton picking season and where cotton picking labor is scarce and ha-rd to hold, you not only have to cook for the pickers, but you have to handle them as tenderly as babies, to keep them from quittin'g and going away. Accepting thte term "perfected" as meaning p'ractical an'd profitable op eation, I have always believed that cotton would some day 'be picked by a machine. Some people ta.lk o:f the difficulties of discriminating. But when we look at a modern woman with well designed and wvell made clothes, none doubts but what the sewirng mahhine has wonderful powers of discrimilna tion ; equa.lly the cotton picker can be made to do this work with discrimin'a tion and ,that part of the invention sems 'to be already accomplished. Mason undoubtedly picked cotton and did not injure the plant. Lowry did the same thing. Now the Price-Camp bell machine claims to have done the sme thing. The invemtion has been reuced lately to a que stion of econo mc oporation and of durability. The cotton picLer wheni it comes (anda it may be already here) will have ai more imp~ortanit influence upon the cotton supiply of the world than the cotton growers association of Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy all put together. The crop for a machine 10 ~m'~k is practically all ready for a season, and economic picking will very materially increase the crop without a particle of delay. It stands to reason that it will take a little time to make machines and have enough to have any effect upon a crop, but as fast as the machines are put in the field, the crop will be augmented the following year. i There need be no fear of throwing hand cotton pickeys out of employ ment. The increased crop making in creased prosperity will bring work enough for all. It costs now more than $100,000,000 a year to pick the cotton crop. With a machine as efficient as the reaper or sewin.g -machine the crop could be picked at a cost less than $25,000,000. The prize is a big one. The American Inventor is alert and persistent. We will undoubtedly get a cotton picking machine in the near future.
