and Sunday. This iaa1roves the dusty
roads, prepares the landi for plant

in iany other ways. Gardeners will
have a chance now to put in and bet

is not too late to prepare and plant
plenty oft. feed patc'hes, such as har

age.
Weo were glad to see in this com

of Rome, Ga. lHe is here visiting his
sister, Mrs.-Matti ;Martin, of Mt. Galla
gher, iwho is quite sick. Wir. Redden
was tborn and reared here, but went
to Georgia many years ago When a
young man. After only a few years
there he went into the mercantile busi
ness at Rome, married, and settled
down there, where he has been doing
well. fHe has a nuniber of relatives
and many friends here who are glAd
to see shim.

is here for this week visiting friends.
Miss 'Johnson taught here last session,

Messrs. Jodie Gambrell and Joseph
Wells who farmed here this year as
renters, have given up tpieir crops and
moved their families to Ware Shoals,
seeking more prolitable employmnctit.
Mr. Boone, another renter, has moved
to some point in North Carolina, for
the same reason. lMany of us have yet
to learn that success in any el1toy
ment, vocation, profession, or iursuit
in life comes only to those who follow
closely and constantly their chosen
work and are faithful to the end. This
a trite as well in secular as in reli
gious affairs. Preceding every suc
cess has been somebody's persevering
effort. There is a living in every lion
orable pursuit to hini\ who learns.
Farming in our opinion is not an ex
ception.
We regret to lose ailso from our

"NO DOGS ALLOM
PRESENTI
Miss Rebecca Dial's Most Re
didly Trained Cast With 3
in Supreme Manner.-Perl
Miss Rebecca Dial's splay "No 'Dogs
Allowed", !which proved so popular
when given in Columbia last spring
duplicated its former success when
produced in Cipartauburg last Friday
and Saturday nights. Laurens was
not only represented -by being' the
home of the author, but the leading
comedy role -was played by Bill Gray,
of this city, who is a student of Wof
ford College. &-Iany of Miss Dial's
friends from Laurens attended the
play to attest their interest in her
work. 'The following is the Spartan
burg 'Herald's account of the produc
tion:
Miss Rebecca 'Dials, graduate of
Converse College in the class of 1914,
playwright of note, and daughter of
Senator Nat B. Dial, has done it
again. , And so has Miss Margaret
Sweeney.
IMiss Dial's most recent play, "No
'Dbgs Allowed," was presented to an
a dience which largely filled the col
Ige chapol last night in its initial
Spartanburg performance. The play
as a play was received wtth gusto
by those present, and by the more
literarily inclined it was prondunced
a gem.
The production, labeled, according
to the program, "a comedy," Iore
much resemblance to the sort of
play that wohdld Hear the title. -But,
too, there iwere those imoments of
.pathos and supreme tragedy within
its -length which Iilmost seenied to
carry the audience into the heart
wrung pains which tbhe actors por..
trayed. The comedy touches -which
abounded were of the swift, deft
type, with no drag and no faulty mio
ments. The pathetic mionments, and
soime were especially so, were strong,
virile 'and passionat., without the
maudlin sentimentality which sonie
times marks these bits 6f art in serio
comedy drama.
As a theme the phiywas idealistici
A garden of love was the central
piece, with the action largely center
ing in and around it. Love of purest
ray serene must flit those who would
dwell therein. 'But flashes of material
ism offset the Utopian perfectness of
the characterization.
Miss %Margaret Sweeney was at her
best. tHer part, difficult at best, was
carried out with the cast of a Terry.
Bob Wallace, as a sL:n of a lad,
crippled and terrilbly in love with a
dog, and no common dog, was her
equal in point of 'finished acting of a
smooth sort.
Donald Sanders and Miss Her
moine Dunlap, as the father and moth
er whose life is rent -by a tragedy, car
ried off honors in the 'high'liglhts of
the splay. A silky, velvet snooklness
was ap)ar'ent in their most hard parts.
Miss -Margaret Frost, as .the sinhall
daughter, bore 4lher part with a child:
ish grace and sweetness which only
the young can portray in its natural

tone. A child in part and deed, she
captivated the audience.
Hartwelt Anderson, as .the man of
the world with means, and Miss Car
rie Lulu f'-lutchins, as the bride,
chosen ahead of Miss Sweeney as the
daughter later in life, were em
,pecially deserving of comment. Theirs
was a difficult part. Dillcult- in act
ing and speaking. The result as of
fered by these two was splendid.
.iss 'Loulse EIpton Aoss carried her
part as grandmother with a grace
which made a certain man in the au
dience say, "How like my dear old
grandmother she is." 'Natural, effec
tive and good, those faracterize her.
.Miss Jane DePass and Leonard
'Cudd, as -the wife and the artist whose
whose love is an ideal one, let their
parts not only be shown by word and
action, but a naturalness that only
finished work can present, shone
throughout.
Bill Gray and Miss M.innie Howard,
as the negro couple, gave the real
comedy to the play. Comedy not of
the low negro type,'so often seen, but
of tUhat old-time, ante-bellum kind,
which goes straight to the laugh wells
of the heart and brings the smiles and
unabated and unrestricted laughter.
Dorothy larris and K0. A. Manshuip,
as the .!)ii)-squealk and the ffapper,
furnished another Ibit of cpmedy
which1 later became true reality. They
carried the present day youth's part
to a fluish Ain, portrayed the charac
ter as it is seen daily. Plashy, blatant,
loid and unmindful of the deeper ro
,mances or life. Theirs wps a dillieult
part well rendered.
Miss Gladys Sweeney, sister of
Margaret Sweeney, played the lovable
and loving Daln Cupid, umhpire of Love
Fternal and Ilnal court of romantic
appeal. Her moments of gay and light
play were done with ease, her serious
paris with grace. With all she was
one of hle bhright spots in which seem
led a highly organized and developed
cast.
Profs. W. T. 'Myers and W. H. Mot

she will ,be heard from again and

With this coupe Dodge Brothers have
proved once for all that a closed car can
be as sturdy and practically as inexpensive
as an open roadster.
This is largely due to the all-steel body
the first ever marketed-which admits of
lower cost of manufacture through stand
ardized machine production. Unlike wood,
the steel surface will take a finish of enamel,
baked on at high temperature. This process
results in a permanent lustre, and eliminates
the trouble and expense of repainting.
The wide straight seat is upholstered in
genuine Spanish blue leather, durable and
readily cleaned.
The price is $1335.00..-delivered
