Hudgens Is off to Green ville as a federal Juror. Mr. H. .lud Langston is superintending his gin nery while Mr. Hudgens is away. A large crowd attended the funeral of Mr. Andy Jerry, the young German farmer who died at the home of his father Saturday night. The Reaper Death has invaded this home quite often lately. ? Nearly three years ago the oldest son died, in less than a yoar the nged mother was called and now the second son has gone and the aged father Is not expected to live many days longer. Mrs. Duckworth of Flberton. On., and Mrs. Huffkln of North Carolina were here for the burial of their brother. The many friends of D:\ Qua Watts Cunningham, who is a Laurens county hoy to the manor bone will be pleased to hear he is well and prospering In his home ?'with the Green Mountain boys" In the lecture course in Mid dleblirg College the Press has Ibis pleasing reference in regard to him: "Dr. Cunningham, Professor of Phil osophy will present the poet Tennyson from the standpoint of Philosophy. Dr. Cunningham took his degree of doctor of Philosophy at Cornell Uni versity in 1008 and is a representation of the brilliant group of youm* men that Dr. Thomas, president >f Middle burg college is gathering about hon. The delegates have returned from the association pleased with the i>ood work accomplished und delighted with the unrestricted hospitality of the L i bllll brethren Dr. Jamleson compli mented the liberality of the saints at New Prospect towards the orphans, the wards of our churches, giving more according to their financial ability than any church In the association. "In as much as ye have done it to the least of these my brethren ye have clone it unto me." "Hornau Hearts." Facts are stranger than fiction. All plays depend more or less on facts for their plots. Of course, at times, au thors are prone to carry the limits of dramatic license almost to the point where the realities of their plot sub merged In the figments of their all too vivid imaginations. "Human Hearts" is a notable excep tion end fully illustrates how much in tCI'C8t dramatic material may be gath ered by the author based on the actual happenll ;s of life. The story of "Human Hearts" Is almost true in ??very d itall. The incidents that form the plot are w 11 known, and still food for gossip In the community where they happened. The author of the play met the original Tom Logan, sev eral years ago, and beard the storry from his own lips, Becoming deeply Interest -<\. ho journeyed to home of Tom Logan, where he mot most of the other characters who round out the cast of his play, and the result has been a play I hat l^s had a vivid inter est for more lovers of all thai Is good and true in melodrama, than any other dramatic" composition of the last de cade. "Human Hearts" will be shown at the opera house on Frldaj Oct. 21st. Limitation of the Split-Log Brag. In brief. il>*- split-log drag is not a road-builder, hm n road-keeper. That is, Us best us.- is in surfacing and keeping in good condition roads, after they ate properly graded, shaped, and drained. In fact there is no Implo men! yet d'-vised Which compares with It in economy ami oftlclency in keeping dirt roads in good condition. By its Use a smooth, Ami surface is kept more easily and cheaply than in any other way of which we have any knowledge. Even on roads not prop erly graded ami shaped It will accom plish a great deal, if the conditions are not too bad, and it is Intelligently operated; hut this is not Its proper use and too much should not be ex pected of It. -Raleigh (N. 0.)

THOMAS DiXOIVS PLAY PROVES A SUCCESS "The Shis of The Father* Thrills A (?rent Audience and the Author Is Given mi (Million. (Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, Sept. 22.) "I havd tried in this new play to do ???inline .service to um own people and the whole nation. I make in It n tender and passionate plea for racial purity. I have tried to fight the mod ern tendency to the ultimate cbsorp tlon of the negro race into ours as In evitable. I believe wit?l all the in tensity of my being thqt such a tragic end of this Btruggle would destroy the character of American manhood. <rallon of ink can make black and foul ten gallons of water. I believe we should improve our breed of men ?not degrade them. This nation is where it Ih only because of the breed of pioneers and freemen who dured the might of kings?fought their way into the wilderness and created the republic. "In selecting the material to ex press my play I have taken a frag ment of real life. torn, ragged and bleeding from the heart of the South. The tragedy I have portrayed has hap pened a thousand times. Its problem Is the most terrible and pitiful of all our history. In it we have tried to voice for the first time with the sym pathy and tendernes.i of the Southern white man the anguish of Southern womanhood. 1 know I have done it with delicacy and tenderness, because I have given voice to the soul of my own dead mother in Its every word. Through the hum and roar of this crowd tonight J hear her low. sweet accent pouring into my ears in ;he morning of life the ideas I have e.\ jin ssed to you in this story. I can sec now the quiver of her lips and the mist of tears through which she look ed into my soul as she spoke. If I reach your hearts- it Is not I?it is she who speaks." This stirring play, which is given in only seven cities in South Carolina, will be given in the city opera house at Newberry on Friday the 28th of October. First foor prices $l..">0 and $1.00.
