BLACK CAT VISITS SKUNKS; FILM PLAYERS GET HOLIDAY One of the most unusual reason for giving the cast of photoplay ; two-day hoidiavs was furnished b} one of the principals during produc tion of the photodrama "At the Sigr of' the Jack O'Lantern." This pic ture will ibe.seen at the opera house next Thursday. A big black cat plays an importan' pa^rt in the story, one of the most fa mous books written by Myrtle Reed author of "Lavender and Old Lace,' "Spinner in the Sun," "Flower of the Dusk,'' and others equally noted. The cat is known as Claudius Tiberius and ho stalks his way with digpity and importance throughout the 1 fntiro rrmipdv. Dirprtinp* this oat iv.i5 i a hard task, according to Directo: Lloyd Ingraham, but all obstaclei were overcome successfully by ingenuity, patience and innumerable wait: for the animal to do what the scenario required. One morning Claudius Tiberius was scandalously late. Searching parties went in quest of him all ove* the studio.v Xo Tiberius was to be found. Finally when Director In^raham was almost in despair in strolled the cat. There was no need to ask where he had been. The explanation was simple: Clan- , :lius Tiberius had met up with a skunk and brought back with him ample evidence of the encounter. Director In graham declared a twolav hnlidav for pvorv'iodv and nre icribcd a perfumed-scented bath for riaudius Tiberius. 1 The recent treasury sale of $.100.300.000 of bonds convinces us these ire the piping: times of peace, for ;hat was part of the piper's bill.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM FOR GOOD ROADS r ( Several Score Join in Celebration of Completion of Richland Road to Newberry - The State, 2nd. With several score truest? present [ lo celebrate the occasion, the Chat' T% ?- 7 f rrol'O nam ravinga dinner at the Jefferson hotel signalizing the completion of the new Rich-) lr?:"x(' county highway to the Newberry j county line. The hard surfacing of the famous Broad River road has added an important link to Richland's rapidly growing system of permanent highways. Present at the dinner were many men interested in good roads, both builders and ultimate consumers. Ivy L. Echols, president of the Chatham Paving company, builders ;f the stretch of road featured at the dinner, was host, assisted by a dozen or more members of his staff. , The three members of the RichA .1 ~ ^ r-, A - n I"*"* 1-V-l " C 1 rj 1 j .and county kouu imuj Luuiiinco.j.i. j L.

In passing, Mr. aardin spoke of the project K:bcut to be launched that will link Richland ;vith a section of Fairfield county, earnestly seeking an outlet. Hp also described the extensive program of bard surface improvement that will result in Richland boasting 73 miles of asphalt and concrete roads. Mayor William A. Coleman spoke of what good roads- have meant to Columbia and Senator Thomas B. Pearce discussed Richland county's position in regard to a statewide sys:em of roads. Both the mayor and 'he senator announced a decided and inthtisiastic stand for a state' bond issue that will link Richland's magnificent road system of roads of like character in other counties, extending eventually to every section of the state. "Follow Richland" is the adrice Mr. Coleman and Mr. Pearce iiave for the other counties of South Carolina and both oelieve ttfat the denand for good roads from the various counties will soon be so emphatic :hat it can not be ignored by the powers that be.

FARMERS HOLDING NEW COTTON CROP / Many Bales Being Stored in Warehouses?Will Add Inspector The State, 1. With cotton stored in warehouses of the state warehouse system for the month of October valued at over $14,000,000, farmers of the state are holding their new crop and the warehouse department is now every day receiving a great deal of cotton for storage, according 10 announcement of J. Clfiton Rivers, state warehouse commissioner. "While there hav* been some selling of old cotton," Mr. Rivers said, "the receipts are well above the cancellations." "Several warehouses^" Mr. Rivers sa;u. "nave been entered in the system daring the last few days, worthy of especial mention being: the addition of the warehouse of the Excelsior Seel farm at Che raw. and the j Purc-ell warehouse of Newberry. The I state system is now receiving storage grain, peas, velvet beans and other non-perishable farm products which . when properly prepared can be stor-i ed in the system of state warehouses J and receipted for as effectually as; cotton. "In the near future the commissioner expects to put on a special inspector for this work, who will be able to develop'plans to carry out the j law as recently enacted, enlarging the; scope of ?he state warehouse activi-j tics so as to mciuae any iarm proa-i uct which by its nature is nun-perish-! able or is so rendered by canning,; preserving: or processing:. This plan' will work in connection with agencies1 now instituted in this state for diversified agriculture and be a part in [he plan for improving: the marketing: organizations of the state. The system is working- together with the colon growers' cooperative association! in this state in the storing: of cotton j their assembling1 points and prop-> crly receipting: and caring: lor it un-j til needed for concentration and sale.'

Ministry Completed by Bonar Law.! All Places Filled Qt Di-amior Rftnar i-'UHUUIl, V/^L. A. IVlliiVl , Law tonight issued the list of the re1 m'aining officers of his government in jwhich there is again a fair infusion of members of the house of lords. His j appointment of a minister of pen- j sions does not necessarily mean that he had yielded to the Laborite clamor against the proposed abolition of that ministry, 'out is considered more | likely merely a formal appointment j to carry on the work until the minis- \ try can be abolished by legislative j act. Agitation against abolition of the pensions ministry, however, is garTiarirvor fm'pp Winston ChurchiU, who has recovered from'his illness sufficiently to be removed to his home tdnight, al-j though he will still be confined to his j rooms for a few days, sent a letter to j his constituents today strongly op-; posing abolition of the ministry and j expressing the hope that Bonar Lawi will, on further consideration, with-' draw a position hastily taken: otherI wise, Mr. Churchill declares, he will resist this decision in parliament. In, the same letter Mr. Churchill re- j counts a number of large economies i which the late crovernment was cor.- i I templating, largely in his recommendations amounting to near'y 'iO.OOO.-j 000 pounds annually which* were pre- j vented by the overthrow of the government. Incidentally. Mr. Churchill mentions that the economies included 15,-i 000.000 pound? on naval estimates, but he regretted to say that these; economies were obstinately opposed by Lieut. Col. L. C. M. S. Amcrv, first! lord of the admiralty of the new cabi- j net, who was then financial secret?.-' ry to the admiralty. He adds that Colonel Amery took a leading part in the revolt of the under secretaries: which led to the overthrow of the j > c*i iiiiiciu a;iu uc'iiau .^. "I view with disquietude the fact that this junior minister has stepped into rhe shoes of his late chief?a reward of successful mutiny which si' certainly an unwholesome spectacle/' The former colonial secretary, who' is still providing: effective election-!] eering points, remarks how^ disappointing1 is the declarition of the new; t chancellor of the exchequer, Stanley: Baldwin, that reduction of taxation i i is impossible, when all these projected economies have been hindered by : ( the chancre of government. j y&. -v.

The events-of the last few days prove that the old j struggle between Lloyd George and Sir George Younger?"the captain and the cabin boy" as they were Galled in former contests?is revived on an intensified scale. It is daily becoming clearer how all j party lines are confused and obscured by the.fact that mainly through; "Lloyd Georgeism" both the conser-! vative and liberal part.es are divided j into opposing camps, leaving only the Labor party as a solid entity with de-' fined program. Although, so far as is known, j Lloyd George has taken no action on! high threat ro run candidates against j the conservatives, it is believed to be j impossible that things can long re-! main in the present state. Lloyd j George declared today he would not quietly see his followers wiped out at > the dictation of Sir George Younger j or anybody else. Strong efforts are j being made to induce ;:he patching up j of the quarrel, but apparently with- ft out result. Sir Lamington Worthing-Evans, former secretary of war, in a speech at Colchester tonight, predicted that no single party would be able after the elections to form an administration.
