FRIDAY, April 23. 1909
Don't forget the Music Festival
at Columbia. Automobile races
are worth seeing too.
The price of cotton at present is
making the farmers feel good and s
puts money into circulation.
Since some news has come to our
cars in reference to the coming municipal
election we deem it in order
and for the good of our town and
community to ally ourselves with
the best side and produce our reasons
with a view to influencing others,
if needs be. We are glad of
competition believing it to be conducive
of higher aims and attainment
on the part of the candidates
and a means of developing the power
of a wise choice in the votes. It
so happens that the candidates for
mayor have been tried and are willing
to be tried again and we pre- i
sume that both are willing to let '
their past administrations be used
a? a meani of j.idgii ; -he'? romi *

are progressive in their purposes as | t
regard to road building and street j J
improvement but Mayor Bates show- 1
ed superior ability in the be-1 *
ginning by securing a man like chief ,
of police, Darby, and an improved 1
road machine to accomplish his purpose
in this line. What have we
seen as a result? A steady, continuous
economic sensible improvement.
No work done spasmodically
or wasted and the work continues.
Our electric light system has been
improved and other needed implements
have been added to the towns
property. Our present mayor has
shown himself more capable in rounding
up law breakers and in execu- j ,
tion. We miss from our streets the !
faces of many whom we had the
strongest reason to believe were 1
nothing more nor less than walking j
blind tigers. And some very ques- 1
tionable dives that we had in town <
are no longer in existence. Vagran- (
cy is a thing of the past and upon ,
the whole our town is as well gov- (
erned as any municipality in the
state and superior to the average. THE
CHAUTAUQUA.

THE CBAUTAUOUA HEBE THE LAT ?
TEB PART Or JURE WILL BE
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
V
h
Johnston is to have a Chautauqua
the coming June. This is glad 'p
news to the people of this prosper- a
ous and growing city, who place the t
things that minister to the social, *
mental and moral phase of our com- h
munity life above the selfish greed I
ot mere commercialism. For this 11
splendid enterprise we are indebted t,
to the public-spirited citizens who
have taken the initiated snd secured n
f I
the interesting and attractive proIV
gram. It is now the duty of the in- tj
telligent citizenship of this city and )*<
community, who justly appreciate
the fact that there are some things
in life better than mere dollars and tk
ents, things which tend to elevate
nd uplift, to move without delay to d*
tie support of this 'movement. ^
We must co-operate with the ex:cutive
committee and let us do it
inselfishly and ungrudgingly. A |\
Jhautauqvu enterprise is not a mon- *
;y-making scheme; it should not be
iragged to the low and sordid plane
>f commercialism. Of course, we d
vant to break even and we can do it
>y a small investment that not only
>rings present profit but will yield j[
in annual compound interest in a
ligher, nobler and more intelligent
:itizenship. Just to mention a few
>f the good things:
There is the Alkahest Band and
Orchestra, a select combination of
irtists and soloists, which makes the
inest Chautauqua musical attractijn
iver offered in the South. It is composed
of ten people and was specally
organized for this class of engagements.
It is equipped with
>rass instruments for street concerts
nd full orchestra for stage music,
t has been engaged for the week.
Then, there is the Otterbein Male
Quartet, one of the finest quartet agregations
ever brought South,
vhich has also been engaged for the ^
intire Chautauqua. Then, there is Si
he inimitable Bob Taylor, who
;tands in a class all to himself and
ivho needs no words of comment
for everybody knows him.
Dr. Sears, one of the most popular
and successful lecturers on the
platform has been engaged for two
lectures and Sid Landon who stands
without a superior, it indeed he has
a rival, as an impersonator, has been
secured for two entertainments.
Then, there is Walden, the magician,
and the information comes
from those who know that he is the
greatest master of the magic art on "Tthe
lyceum stage. t

THE LAM IN THE AUTO 2
lui
Miss Mary King, equipped for an
od
automobile ride, stood at a front ?
window waiting. She was a country
girl with the glow of health on her He
cheeks who had come to the city the an'
lay before and stopped in one of a jn'~
ha1
row of stone front houses, but she

n an automobile. Tom was to call wa
or her at 10 o'clock and at 10:30 he rer
tad not arrived. Mary was growing |0
mpatient. fav
Suddenly a beautiful machine turn- nl
?d a corner, came up the street and gta
stopped in front of the house. In it i
was Cousin Tom?who else could it a
be??a handsome young fellow, who Soi
got out and was about to mount the tIn
steps when he looked up at tlie mini- fit
ber above the door, then turned to i
the next house. Mary, naturally as- ma
suming that he was making a mis- no*
take, rushed to the door to call him. tin
Too late; he had disappeared. inj
No matter. He would discover his of
mistake and return. She would wait mil
for him on the stoop. She stood pis
there a few minutes admiring the ex<
beautiful spick and span dark green mo
machine with its polished brass to
mountings. It looked so pretty that till
she thought she would go down to pet
It. When she got there a step in- Kii
to it was so easy and tlie cushioned fan
seat so tempting that she got in and his
sat down. bre
Now. the gentleman who had gone glr!
in next door was not Cousin Tom at bin
ill. hut Harry Craven, one of those ?>
?raceless scamps who was not likely the
o throw an adventure over his Sea
shoulder. Front the window of his rep
dub?he had called to ro, lenish his ant
igar case?he was surprised to see disi
i pretty girl sitting in his machine spii
vith as much composure as if she S1U
>wned it. lie was going for a spin t
ind wished she would stay there. V,
On seeing hint approach the lady
milled, put out her hand and said: I
'Why, Cousin Tom, what lias made enc
'on so late?" ily,
"I.ate?" has
"Yes. And why did you go into gra
6? 1 wrote you to come to 38." old
"Well, now! Upon my word. Sixes arn
.nd eights are much alike. But this Me:
s no way for cousins to greet one i ed
nother." And the rascal bent for- , eng
/ard and kissed her through her mei
ell. Then he took his seat beside to
is newly found cousin. dea
Now commenced a sparring on the : age
art of the cousinlesa Mr. Craven to stai
revent detection. Ho skillfully seci
voided committing himself on any- ' to
hing till he had learned something tod,
bout it from the lady. He gathered a rl
hat he was expected to take her to tioi
is father's residence in the suburbs, wa:
L so happened that his own father
Ived in the suburbs, and his mother uo!
nd sisters and himself as well. He ron)
lined his course homeward.
Just before luncheon Mrs. Craven ratj
nd her daughters were sitting on the / ,,]
ont piazza, engaged at reading and pj(j|
eedlework, when up the roadway to n.;i
le house came Harry in his auto, a of t
oung lady beside him. (>(l
