CONSERVE YOUR COAL The orders in regard to the closing have been somewhat modified as ' to the South and where electric power -o noo/1 i-p nronOVQ+Or} Kv wntpr nrnvpv UOVU 4X ^ViiVA MWVV4 VJ *?V*VW* ?? y but it do.es not excuse any one from saving all the coal and fuel that he - an in these days of stress. It behooves every one to be as sparing with the use of fuel as he can even f he has a sufficient quantity for his own use, because his, neighbor may Oe short and he may be called on to divide what he has. Talking about fuel and the short-1 age we noticed in traveling up the, railroad the other day that the same :>ld habit of burning up a lot of fine : fuel was still in practice. The old vToss ties, many of them the very j inest sort of fire wood, were put in: piles and burned just to get them out1 >f the way and to keep others from hauling them off for fuel. If the ailroads do not want any one to have 1 hese ties why not haul them to the: cities and distribute them among thej >oor and needy. They make the j very best kind of fuel. Many of tftem; ar6 rich lightwood and all of them! vvell seasoned and would burn fine.; ;Jfhy this waste of such good fuel in! ' his time when there is almost a "amine in-the fuel line and many in-J dustries are to be closed down onf account of the shortage. But in any event we should all do what we can to cooperate witn tne | government, to cor?OT*ve tue' b^o. prevent suffering. We are all inlined to be too wasteiui any way ni this section of the country. It has; _>ften been truly remarked that we ^ould live very comfortably in this i ection of the coijntry on what we. waste. ! If we are not careful and saving the government may take a hand and. make it uncomfortable for us. IT WAS MY ERROR. And yet it was not so bad after s alL In the last issue I stated that ^ ~ J ?>? J v?rtCiv\/vr*/^A/l 4-A ' .NCWDerry nau met <tuu ic^uuucu w every drive that has been mads. That; i-emains true. I stated that the Church of the Redeemer had given more than the allotment for Newberry college in that drive. That, I, is true. I stated that the apportionment for Newberry county for the _ college was $104,000. And" that all; ihe churches but two had bfeen; Heard irom ana mat wiuiout inese . -3124,000 had been raised. That is ;ncorrect. The notes that the young ( man in the office gave me from which j the story was written had reference! entirely to the Baptist drive. And; * ihat is where I got mixed. The apportionment for the Baptist i churches in the county was $104,000; rjid of that amount with two churches; missing $124,000 has been raised, j The First Baptist church had the | largest per capita assessment of church in the. state, and even with hat the members went over, 'iney ' ~ gave an average of nearly $175 per nember. And West End and Mollo!%***% oil tVTAVtf +V?A uvu auu au uic icot vvgut ucj ^uu tnc allotment. ! I hope that no harm was done by the error. The paragraph was written in a hurry and under pressure and i. 1 did not look closely at the notes that I had.

"Experience" a Great Show. The opera house was full of people Wednesday night to seeVEx-j perience." It had been heralded as . ihe most wonderful performance that <vas ever staged. ^.Certainly it was, the most wonderful ever seen in New- ' ^ 1 >erry. To say that the audience was ; ?lelighted is to speak too mildly. Itl captivated the people and held them ] . pellbound, so realistic and true to. iife was it from beginning to end.! We wish the sp^ce was at our com-! .nand to take those of our readers' 7ho were not so fortunate to seex it -with us in these columns through the . sn episodes, along with the portray- ( 4rd cnaracters ot Love, Mope, iouth, J .vmbiticn, Experience, Pleasure, Op-' I-'- j/ortunity, Excitement, Frivolity, j ,Jeauty, Deceit, Slander, Wealth, In- ; oxication, Pride, Good Nature, Superstition, Despair, Temptation, "Work, i frailty, Dissolution, Indolence, J-'ov- i * rty, Delusion, Degradation, Crime, ! ^;c., all of which were impersonated %%> perfection by a strong and . aoroughly trained cast.

The show is perhaps; the best jnusical comedy that has j visited Wilmington tms reason. \ Beautifully, yet not gorgeously costumed, the actors perform their work j as if they enjoy pleasing the audi- j ence. A feature of the show is the dancing. Some of the cleverest footwork ever seen here being staged by j Lamb and Goodrich. George Lamb i and his fiancee, "Miss Blue Eyss," j who is elegantly protrayed by the lit- J tie Belgian lady, late of the "follies," also drew rounds of applause. "Bits of Harmony," song by Helen Norman, Marjorie Osborne and Marie James, pleased wonderfully. rne entire penormance was eu-i joyed, immensely enjoyed by the j several hundred people present, many j of whom would be glad to see it; again.?Wilmington (N.

Through it you will be in touch with "Headquarters/for high class hardware," as they tell you. Among the various and numerous articles they handle in their first class lines are to be found fine razors of the different makes, to which your particular attention is called during these approaching Christmas holidays when presents will be appropriate and acceptable, .? 1 r> i good for botn receiver ana giver, but; "it is more blessed to give than to receive." Johnson & Son have many suitable presents, for Christmas, weddings, births and other celebrations. They have things in their store that are needed for people who have to move and for people who have to -stay where they are. In the, * 4 1 present state of the high cost 01 living, whether you have to move or not, [ especially when you have not, what is more appropriate as a Christmas or New Year's present to a man or nearman than a good safety razor? When i you give a fellow a present you want! to give him something not only useful; but a thing that will save him money.: But look at the list of articles men- j tioned in the ad. j -a- . i . 1 11 1 Ul 1 ns went west to gam neaun ana ; found love.
