PHTT.TP LORD, character actor and stage director with the Rlvervlew Players, Is doing the best piece ol tuning he has done this season, In "The Corner. Store," the four-act rural comedy which is the bin for the week in he Riverview theater. In "The Corner Store" Mr. Lord assumes the role of a philosophical old cronle, who is quite used to domineering over his household and who is slightly Incllnea to have his own little Joke. He the trustee of his niece's estate, amounting in round numbers to $60,000, which, in the opening of the play, he has deposited In the cash box of his "corner "ore." The money Is taken from the bX by the Villain of thh nlnv nnlv tr.

iwe it removed from his pocket by Jerusha Jane, a "country girl, but tricsy." It is on the discovery that the money Is not where he Ufi. it that Mr. Lord does an exceedingly natural, forceful and convincing piece of acting. He shows his astonishment, yet he does not rant or rave over the loss. Like the character "6 IS endeavoring to aortraX: ilr.

Lord makes his Eli Wheeior to stop and bring logic to his aid. He Quietly calls for his Wifu in -an abstract manner and when ae comes he tells just as one would suppose Uncle Eli would under a similar circumstance that the money left in his care lias been stolnn. The story of "The Corner Store" is like many another "rural" rtrmn the villain, with his ever-liglited cigarette and cigar; the hero, who does little, out gains everyDody's respect, and the heroine whose love and faith are beyond human comprehension, of course, there are heroics a plenty and mucn that is expected to be neari appealing. -eany all the roles are character roles, fo tne several members oC the company are given a chance to be seen in cnar-acter parts Wltn the exception of Mrs. and ilr.

Adams. Clayton Warner "ues a numan piece ot work which is not a caricature, as an Irishman. Mr. Warner possesses a good brogue, and his make-up was sumciently artistic to be natural. Alice Learn in a grotesque role makes up like Sis Hopkins and succeeds in getting quite a numutr of laughs out the part.

The bill presented in the theater at Fontaine Ferry this week is the ost diverting bit or vaudeville collected for a performance during the present season. There is plenty of music, enough of pret-tinesa ana a deal of wholesome entertainment. The headline position is given "The Top 0 tne Woriir' dancers, a sextet of pret girls ivj tii an equal number of wcll-tramed graceful colnes and several principals wnu, a one-act tabioid musical comedy, called "Kris Kliigie's Dream," review wtiat were the novel features in "The Top tne World."

makes pretty entertainment for ni.y of cniidren. whether they be 6 yvars old or three-score years una tix. Sharing honoii. with the headline unit on the bill are three men known as the K. A.

G. Trio. In music and song they provide entertainment of a nature similar to maiiy "acts" of this character. Perhaps, tUui is tiy their entrance even received applause yesterday. They give what the average vaudeville patron is looking for when they see a piano' rolled upon the, stage, followed by a lively ragtime vamp from the orchestra.

Kach of the men in the 11. A. G. Trio contributes his uice in several of the now popular rag-time hits. One is especially attractive and gets his songs over with a "punch." Anotner plays a banjo skillully, whilo the short fat tenor" plays the piano with just the right sort of expression ior a "rag" accompaniment.

Master Lew uates, a dancing midget, and ills brother, who is of average size, opend the bill yesterday afternoon, doing clog dancing. The Mankichi company of Japanese equilibrists give an- interesting performance with their feet. In juggling barrels. The stage setting, composed of screens and mats of Japanese manufacture, together with the prettiness of their kimonos make the picture upon the stage a pleasing color scheme to the eye. Reba and Inez Kaufman dance quite admirably upon their toes.

STATE POLITICS. A FELLOW DEMOCRAT'S STATEMENT Regarding' Henry D. Cowand, a Strong TVTflTi and winner For the Office of Mayor of Earlington. I have known Mr. Oowand for ten years and have always found him an honorable and progressive citizen.

Mr. Co wand came from North Carolina eleven years ago a Democrat and has at all times since supported the Democratic party. Mr. Cowand in the past four years has proven a great Interest in Barllngton and her future. When others felt uneasy regarding the railroad situation Mr.

Cowand still felt that Earllngton's future was bright. I regard Mr. Cowand a strong man for Earlington and among one of the' best business men in Hopkins county. Mr. Cowand announces himself a candi date for the office of Mayor of Earling ton, subject to tne acuon 01 tne ueroo-craitic party in the primary to be held Saturday, August ST, 1912.

If the good people of Earlineton will give Mr. Cowand their support we will no doubt have a Mayor that the citizens of our ltttle dty will be proud of for years to come.

The vounersters think there never was such an exciting year as this and that party lines were never In such a state or disrepair. tut men wun long memories recall bhinfts that happened when they were youngsters and wonder if tibia is really the most exciting year ever.

do not need to ko back 'befo' do wan to tne Dreas-up or ine wmg party. the lorraauon 01 tne itepuDiican party and the Charleston and Baltimore conventions of the Democratic party In 1S60. There have been red-hot times and party splits since then. Forty years ago there was tremendous ruction in the Republican party over the political management and noiicifts comprehensively known as Grantism. Such Charles Sumner and Samuel Bowles, of Massachusetts; Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, friend of Lincoln, and Carl Schurz and Gratz Brown, or Missouri, witn a gooa many other "men of light and leading," formed the Liberal Republican party.

Hoping to profit by this diversion, the Democrats Joined the Liberals and nominated Horace Greeley, and in due time Grant was reelected. The Populist movement of 1892 was heralded with as much trumpeting about the rights of man before the rights of property as the Roosevelt movement is now. The main purpose of the movement which nominated Weaver was to defeat Grover Cleveland. The effort to engraft Populis-tlc leanings were determined to wreck the party they could not control. Weaver carried six States, but ho cut into the Republican rather than the Democratic strength.

Populism was for the- most part an outgrowth of Western Republicanism, and Weaver's candidacy only made the defeat of President Harrison more overwhelming, for Cleveland carried California, except one electoral vote; Connecticut, Indiana, HHnolH, Maryland, got five electoral votes In Michigan and one In Ohio, New Jersey and New York, and got one electoral vote in North Dakota The Weaver candidacy was a total failure for the purpose for which it was Instituted. The Palmer and Buckner' ticket of 1S9S had substantial reasons for Its existence. It was led by as good Democrats as there are In the country- But it made no impression whatever upon the voting strength of the Democratic party. It contributed in no ''appreciable degreo to the defeat of Bryan. But in the way of political excitement, denunciation and recrimination, predictions tv- the old parties had outlived their usefulness and that a new generation was on deck with new Issues and new men, these contests of earlier years were about as impressive as the year 1912.

THE DANGERS OF A GREAT CITY. (Popular Magazine.) A young man who had been born and reared in the backwoods went to Chicago and made a lot of money. Then he returned to his native village and asked his father to take a trip to the Windy City. The old man, however, was not enthusiastic over the proposition. He had read of the fires, automobile accidents and catastrophles, In big cities.

Finatry, after much argument and persuasion on the part of his son, the Father reluctantly agreed to undertake the iourney. At the little-country station he was panic-stricken and tried to get permission to go back home. Once on tne train his nerve began to revive, and all went well until the train dashed into a tunnel black as. night. When this happened the old man grabbed his umbrella, hit his son a whack on the head and cried out "I knew something would happen.
