IKE TO POllLTtViEN
On account o£ the Extension Service forbidding us
to buy poultry in trucks every week, as they tell us
that if we do keep on with our trucks they will not
let us bid on car load shipments, we regret that we
will have to remove our trucks from your territory.
We believe that we have given the farmer the high
est possible prices and honest weights. If you want
us to continue our trucks or open a house for you
to get rid of your surplus poultry all the year round,
tell your County Agent and he probably can help
you. We will be glad, any time, to take your poul
try at our houses in Anderson and Greenville. We
will give you the same high prices and honest weights
as you have received from us heretofore.
I want to thank my loved ones,
neighbors and other friends for
the many kind expressions of sym
pathy shown me during the illness
and at the death of my husband.
May God’s blessing rest upon
each of you.
MRS. M. T. TRAYLOR.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 24.—
C. W. Josey of Lee County, who
has entered the five-acre state
wide contest every year for fopr
years, is the first to enter the
contest for the fifth year, 1930,
says R. W. Hamilton, extension ag
ronomist in charge of the contest.
C. M. Mimms, also of Lee county,
is the second entry. These, des
pite the fact that Lee county made
the worse cotton crop in South
Carolina in 1929.
Mr. Josey has never won a prize
in the cotton contest but states
to Mr. Hamilton that his “prize”
has consisted in the increased
knowledge which he has gained
year by year about growing the
right kind of cotton economically.
He does not feel that winning a
cash prize is necessary to make
entering the contest worthwhile.
Entries for the 1930 contest are
coming in, and Mr. Hamilton ex
pects that the enrollment of near
ly 1200 in 1929 will be equalled or
exceeded this year. Blanks for
entering the contest may be had
from county farm agents or from
the Agronomy Division, Clemson
College, S. C.

“The Shannons of Broadway,”
James Gleason’s rollicking, record
breaking comedy, with- new feat
ures that make it bigger and bet
ter than the stage production, op
ens Friday and Saturday at the
Dixie Theatre as a Universal a?l-
tHiking and music picture. Special
Matinee, Friday 3:30 p. m.
Gleason and Lucile Webster
Gleason, rated as one of the great
est comedy teams in history, them
selves have the title roles, in the
picture with a supporting cast that
is one of the strongest ever as
sembled for a picture of this type
at Universal.
The cast includes Mary Philbin,
a film star of the first rank; Hatry
Tyler, Gladys Crolius, and Helen
Mehrmann, of the original “Shan
nons” stage cast; Robert T. Haines
featured film player; Tom Sant-
schi, Charles Grapewin, John
Breeden, Slim Summerville, Tom
Kennedy and Walter Brennan.
From Popular Play
“The Shannons of Broadway”
smashed all records at the Martin
Beck Theatre, New York, when it
ran for 39 consectflive weeks, and
has been on the road and in stock
for more than two years. In mak
ing it into an all-talking Univers
al special production Emmett
Flynn, the director, and Gleason,
author and star, held to the stage
story but added features that dis
tinguish it from the straight stage
play.
Three snappy new song hits,
“Get Happy, J ’ “Someone To Love
Me” and “Living the Life of
Riley” were written especially for
the picture by Klages and Greer
and one of them is sung by Glea
son himself, the first time he has
ever done a singing number in
public.
All the rich Gleason comedy,
made famous by his various stage
hits, has been incorporated in the
picture. The Gleasons are just as
funny on the screen as they are on
the stage. The presence of several
members of the original stage cast
of “The Shannons of Broadway”
in the same roles in the picture
cast, adds greatly to the produc
tion.

He Who Gets Slapped,
Grenwood, Tomorrow
The Palmetto Players of the
University of South Carolina re
cently presented its first produc
tion “He Who Gets Slapped” which
was so successful that additional
performances were necessary to
meet the demand for seats. Writ
ing in the State, Stanhope Shins,
the foremost dramatic critic in
South Carolina says, “He Who Gets
Slapped” as presented at the Uni
versity was an amazing triumph,
a remarkable achievement, praise
due every one in the company for
its fine performance, audience was
on its toes with expectation and
welcome, rare entertainment, sup
erb first production.”
Professor William Dean, direc
tor of the play, succeeded remark
ably in transferring the author’s
ideas to the stage. The illusion!
of the' ring and the vivid inter
pretation of the lives in a circus
tent, the circus music, the gorge
ous costumes, the sawdust arena,
added to the performance, and the
wonderful presentation of the play
lends to the production something
which immediately becomes a part
of the spectator’s life and
thoughts.
H. Winfield Grimes, a vocalist of
great ability, will introduce the
play with the Prologue from Pag-
liacci and will also sing Vesti la
Giubba, and other numbers suit
able to the mood of the play. They
are all rendered with finish that
will not fail to place Mr. Grimes-
in the hearts of those who hear *
him sing.
In addition to the fine singing
of Mr. Grimes there will be a spec
ial Spanish Tango Walse danced
by Mrs. William Dean, wife of the
director, and Mr. Chic Foster. This
number has had a very large ap
peal to the thousands that have'
seen the Palmetto Players on their
recent tour. Mrs. Dean was for
merly of the New York stage and
received her ballet training from .
the world-famous ballet master-
Fokine and also from Alexis Kos-
loff of the Metropolitan ballet
corps.
This play coming fresh from Co
lumbia, Beaufort and Winthrop
College, where it was greeted by
large and enthusiastic audiences,
offers to Greenwood audiences a
rare treat. Its colorful atmos
phere and costumes, the singing,
dancing and playing of circus
marches, fanfares and serenades
will all be complete when the play
“He Who Gets Slapped” is pre
sented in the Greenwood High
School Auditorium on February-
28th at 3 p. m.
