The American Tobacco Co.. Inc. Fossil Tooth Identified In 1922 n fossil tooth was found in Nebraska which attracted considerable attention among scientists. Prof. W. K. Gregory of the American Museum of Natural History was at first of the opinion that the tooth was evidence that members of the higher ape family, or their prirrfates, once lived in Americn. The scientist, however, did not cease to study the specimen. He believes he has finally succeeded in identifying the tooth beyond question. Hia original conjecture was incorrect, he. says. The fossil tooth, he thinks, belonged to a species of pig now extinct, perhaps a specimen of "prosthi-nnops," the ancestor of the peccary. Sam Brody, wealthy Sumter repair shop and department store proprietor, was released from the Sumter jail Tuesday on ibond of $10,000 on a charge of arson.

Mr. Wuldmann assumes the difficult dual role of Dr. Jekyll, the genial London phyeician, as well as Mr. Hyde, the \oyf criminal. He has personally conducted all rehearsals and drilled the cast of local talent, carefully selected from the prominent Camden amateurs, each one presenting a perfect type of the characters assigned to them and all have successfully appeared in former plays. Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is considered one of the most thrilling as well as interesting plays on the English speaking stage. Edward Waldmann's impersonation of the dual characters has been proclaimed by press and public the finest characterisation of these partB since Richard Mansfield. The local cast supporting Mr. Waldmann are assigned for the following parts: "Dr. Lanyon," gruff English physician, Job Mills; "Mr. UtterRon," the criminal lawyer, Elme~ Watts; Lucius Ogburn will play th-j pompous father of "Clara Carew": "Clara," sweetheart of "Dr. Jekyll," will be played by Miss Mary Boykin: Inspector Newcomen," of Scotland Yard by Stanley Babin; "O'Bren," the comic Irish policeman, by John Gettys; "Holmes," professional hand writing expert, by Joe Moseley; "Lady Carew," by Miss Ellen Stewart; "Jane," Dr. Jekyll's chick maid/ by Miss Mollie Blackwell; "Bridget," the Irish cook, by Miss Virginia Haile; Hyde's housekeeper, by Miss Dotty Zemp. Merry makerB and singers?Miss Isabel] Bunkley (violin), Miss Caroline Richardson (piano), Camden High Glee Club, Miss Willie Haile; (Character Dances), Mrs. J. B.

One of the surprises of the performances will be Miss Dotty Zemp's characterization of Hyde's housekeeper, a miserly old witch, and Miss Virginia Haile as Bridget, the comical Irish Cook. | The story of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" runs as follows: Dr. Jekyll j is a student, a scholar and a humane man; a reputable physician and jand expert chemist. He dreams that j in one of his experiments he discovers a drug which enables him to transform himself into Mr. Hyde, a monster of depravity, and thus gratify all vile passions and cruel impulses without fear of detection. By its use he is enabled to restore himself to his original person. Little by little he yields to the influence of the chemical, as one may yield to liquor or an opiate. Jekyll at times becomes transformed into Hyde with out the potion. At last the drug, which was impure and also could not be duplicated, is exhausted. For the i last time, transformed against his will into Mr. Hyde, there is no escape, except suicide. (Then he wakes ! up, Happy ending). Reserved seats should be secured at \V. R.ob:n Zemp's Drug Store. | ? _r | Martin Luther Miller, native Afrijtan negro, confessed to the New ; York police Monday night that on j, Monday morning he shot Mrs. I Hfclen C. Kimball, a school teacher, to [death, in her apartment in Rrooklyn. Miller was arrested in Patcrson, N. J., and put up a real fight before overcome by the police.

(Thursday's Columbia Record) Negotiations are under way now between the state highway depart* ment and officials of Chesterfield county which if carried to a successful conclusion will give South Carolina practically a completely paved highway across the state, from the North Carolina line to the Georgia line, the National way, known as federal route No. 1. The completion of the Chesterfield arrangements will leave between eight and nine miles unpaved across a corner of Marlboro county, but it i? believed this would be provided for without difficulty." The South Caro* lina gap is all that remains unprovided for of a paved highway from Maine to Florida. A reimbursement agreement, to be entered into by the state highway department and Chesterfield county, is now in the hands of the officials in Chesterfield, the members of the legislative delegation and the county commission, the majority uJL^jvhich bodies have to alga it, with, the highway department before it takes effect. This proposed agreement was drawn at a recent conference in Columbia between Chesterfield delegation members an<T officials of the highway department. The members of the Chesterfield delegation are Senator W. J. Peery and Representative Lindsay G. Odom and Arthur- B. Rivers. If the South Carolina gap is completed it will provide for complete j paving for route No. 1 from Maine to Florida. North Carolina's section of the highway is all paved or being paved. A gap of 56 miles in Georgia as yet unpaved has been financed and will be let to contract in June. This leaves as the only part not provided for 39 miles in Chesterfieldcounty, from a point on the ChesterKershaw line, near Bethune, . to Cheraw, and a stretch of between eight and nine miles from Cheraw to the North Carolina. The highway j department is soon to receive bids for j paving that portion of the highway j between Camden to Bethune, and on ( an Aiken county section. The reimbursement .agreement now > being considered by the Chesterfield | authorities is for $1,700,000 and will, also take jcare of two other highways, the route from Cheraw to Pageland and the road from the Darlington county line, through McBee and Jefferson, to Pageland. Chesterfield county put through an act in the recent legislature providing for a county license on automobiles, to take care of the cost of the! roads involved in the pending pro-1 gram. This license is half the state j license, and the proceeds, with the! county's two cents of the gasoline' tax, goes to highways. The proposal is to grade and surface treat the three highways in question. This highway is expected to mean much for through-state travel.
